The Roosevelt Cohorts.

A few questions about the Roosevelt

immigration and Prosperity.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
1t ought not to escape attention that
for each month this year for which
the figures are available the immigra-
ton has been the greatest for the last
four years. One Of the earliest signs of
the relaxation from the intensity of
prosperity from which the farsighted
prayed that We might be delivered was
an outward flow of labor. Its return
may signify the reversal Of the current
and the quickening Of the pace of pros
perity. Labor is now almost as liquid
as credit or gold, which flow to where
there is greatest demand or profit. When
our labor market is slack the human
machines put themselves into retirement
and wait for revival OF the demand which
they supply. This marks a distinction
between the new and the old immigra-
ton. The old immigration was more per-
manent. and had more abiding effect
upon citizenship.

The German Fleet.

A welcome extended TO the German fleet
at Hampton roads by the President is
supplemented today by the reception of
its distinguished officers in this city. In
all the details of the courtesies there has
prevailed most cordial spirit which is
manifested on both sides. This is vir-
tually an official visit which the German
vessels are paving, as direct representa-
tives of the emperor. and il cannot fail
10 have good effect in Strengthening the
understanding between the two nations.
The relations between the republic and
the empire are on a sound basis of
mutual respect and agreement as to the
essentials OF International polity. Differ
ences have arisen. naturally. as is in
evitable in tho case of two great. enter
rrising peoples engaged in vigorous en-
deavors To extend trade. but none of those
differences has been OF a serious nature.
The controversy over the potash question
has led 10 no train of consequence. and.
taken all in ALL the position of the two
countries is that OF mutually respectful
and friendly governments.
In paying compliments to the German
people through their official representa-
tives the United States expresses an ac-
acknowledgement of obligation to the father
land for an influx of valuable citizenship.
The German-Americans have added ma
terially TO the wealth and strength Of the
republic. Their thrift and industry, their
loyalty to ideals. their sturdy personal in
tegrity and admirable domesticity of tenn
permanent. all have made for the highest
type OF citizenship. The love that these
people still bear for the land of their
birth does not lessen their Americanism
and Is not rated in the least as detracting
from their value as members of the re-
public. On the contrary. they are the
better Americans for it,
The fleet which lies at Hampton roads
is high expression OF naval achieve
ment. and represents wildly Emperor
Williams concept of the great national
force carrying prestige far out into the
world, Americans may not wholly SYM
pathize with his theory OF government or
his ambition 10 develop. at whatever ex-
pense. an overwhelming naval power. Yet
this fleet in way stands for precisely
the principle of government which most
Americans today desire to see carried
into effect through wisely liberal appro-
priations. To continue to develop a naval
force in terms of the strongest construc-
uon ana tne mgheSt EMERGENCY does not
necessarily argue an expectation of prac-
teal use in warfare. II rather stands for
the determination to be prepared for
eventualities. TO be ready with a means
OF defense when the emergency requires.
Washington extends most cordial well
come to the officers who have come here
from the fleet as representatives OF the
kaiser. and regrets that their stay cannot
be longer to appreciate more fully the at
fractions OF the American capital

Washington: A World-Hero.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The news comes from China that the
Chinese have practically adopted George
Washington as sort Of patron saint of
the new republic His name Is the one
that is heard most frequently at their
political meetings. We do not grudge
them share in the memory Of Wash
ington or in the influence of his name.
After all. Washington belongs to all the
world. Such was the majestic simplicity
of his character that he Is ineligible in
the most diverse lands and among the
most diverse peoples. Wherever freedom
lights her torch among the deep gloom
Of centuries Of oppression there will the
nameof Washington be heard. Wherever
men grid themselves with the stern re-
solve to do or die there will his charac-
ter be reverenced
