The Foreign Vote.

According to census bulletin issued
this week OH the foreign-born white
males of voting age in this country, ex-
elusive of our Territories. and their dis
tribution, they number 6,646SI7. OF
these only 3.o34rI7 or $50 per cent
are naturalized. Nearly 83 per cent or
5.SII.86o are in New England, the
Middle East and West North Central
States, while only s.6 per cent or 367,-
oI3 are in the South and IFS per cent
or 766.o36 in the West. About nine
tenths of the whole number were of
European origin OF these approxi-
mately one-half were from the north
west of Europe. about two-thirds of the
latter naturalized, while the proportion
of naturalized among those coming
from the Southern and Eastern divi-
sions of Europe is only 22.I per cent.
This is explained by the fact that it
represents the immigration of recent
origin.
Natives or Germany, OF wnom tnefe
were I.z7S.67S in the country. greatly
outnumbered every other nationality and
showed the highest percentage natural
ized. 6o.s per cent. Of 737,Iso natives
of Russia only about one-fourth were
naturalized and of the 7I2,827 Italians,
only I77 per cent Irish. Canadians,
and Swedes all show high percentages.
while naturalized Hungarians and Slavs
are low. Owing to the wide distribu-
ton of these voters in the East and
Middle North and the absence of any
issues that have any bearing on ma
tionality that factor this year is alb
sent from the calculations of the poll
ticians. Its disappearance is whole
some sign of political sanity.

WATER IN CULEBRA
CUT JULY 1, 1913
Col. Goethals Makes Announcement
to Isthmian Canal Commission.
Work Nearing Completion.

The Culebra Cut Of the Panama Canal
viii he filled with water July l. 1913. ac-
cording to an oflicial announcement from
Col. Goethals received at the Isthmian
Canal Commission here yesterday. 1t Is
planned to finish the dry excavation in
the cut before July l next. and the
water will be let in as soon as this Is
done. There Is no doubt Of the ability
Of the American forces at work on the
canal to complete this excavation by
that date.
As soon as the water is let into the
cut next July. a ladder dredge is TO be
brought in from the Pacific side for the
purpose of cleaning up any earth which
may fall into the excavation from the
slides along the side of the cut The
dredge will also remove the dixie at
Gamboa. This wall of earth is the only
obstacle which prevents the rising
waters in the great artificial lake.
formed by the Gatum Dam, from pour
ing into the canal When the dixie is
removed there will be a continuous
body Of water from the Gatum locks to
the locks at Pedro Miguel
The inflow Of the Charges River into
the artificial lake bed is so great that
the dixie at Gamboa is being strength
ened. lest water be let into Culebra
Cut prematurely The lake will be per-
mitted to rise to the forty-five foot
level at this time. Next spring. when all
the work on the locks has been COM
pleted the lake will be filled to the
eishty-five foot level. which will be the
final level for the passage OF ships
through the canal

Michigan's Tradition.

In the recent Republican State con.
vention in Michigan there were presen,
a former Republican Supreme Court
justice, a Republican railroad com.
missioner. and State highway commits
sioner. many local Republican officials
and more than 1000 delegates repre-.
senting nearly every county in the
State. A good ticket consisting of for
mer Republicans was nominated. Still
prediction from men well versed in
the political affairs of the State is that
Taft will run third in Michigan this
fall.
If reports are true. in = recent Re-
Publican mass meeting in Detroit only

speech in hall which will hold in the

cred from challenge issued to Con-
gresham Joe Fordney in which his
rival for Congressional honors invited
him to debate the question whether he
had been using his public Office for
private profit.
The Roosevelt party has nominated
no local tickets and all over the State
candidates on the Republican ticket are
trying to keep Republican orators out
Of their localities for fear that they
may drive the Roosevelt vote to the
local Democratic candidates.
Michigan is enjoying period of in

John Archbold's Simile.

Col Roosevelt, testifying before the
Senatorial (Clapp) investigation COM
mittee and referring to John D. Arch
bold's remarks that darkest Abyssinia
never saw anything like the course Of
treatment which we experienced at the
hands of the administration following
Mr. Roosevelt's election in Ioo4," made
the following statement:
1t is true that during my administra-
ton ! did administer the Abyssinian
treatment to the Standard Oil Com
pany, because it needed it. and if ever
were President again and the Standard
Oil Company or any other company
acted in that way, would give it the
Abyssinian treatment again.
The "Abyssinian treatment" refers to
the Negus Theodore III, who reached
the zenith of his career by brutality,
almost unparalleled in history, slaugh-
tering his near relatives and waging a
relentless civil war. And yet this
tyrant had been reared in a convent! |!
Had he contented himself with being
King of Ethiopa. and with what he pos
sessed. he might have maintained MS
position. but he was led to exhaust his
strength by continued assaults and war
ring. which was one of the chief causes
of his ruin.
Is this what Mr.. Archbold meant;
