From the Portland Oregonian.
There is comfort in the latest immi-

ger to the American nation in the in
crease of arriving aliens from Southern
Europe and the decrease in the number
coming from Northern Europe. Leaving
transients out of consideration. the total
number of immigrants in the fiscal year
1872 was SSs,l72, and the number of emf
grants was 333, 262. leaving a net increase
in population from that source of 504.Sl0.
This is a decrease from the previous
year of 1855 emigrants, the net increase
in alien population being 7s,011 less than
in 1911.
More remarkable still is the charsct
of the new alien population. Although
Southern Italy still leads in number of

is true. One may call 1t politics or what

Dry Air Cure.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
new curative apparatus by which dry
air is used to kill bacteria is described
in a German medical paper by its in
ventor, Prof. r. Kutner. He ascribes
the quick healing process of wounds in
certain tropical countries to the dryness
Of the atmosphere, which is now becom-
ing better understood as a curative fac
tor. This incidentally explains the in
creasing popularity of winter cures taken
at high altitude for diseases of the chest
and the respiratory organs.
Prof. Kutner's apparatus makes II pos
sible to undergo such cures at home. He
obtains a current of completely dry air
by passing air first over paraffin, then
over pumice stone saturated with sui
phuric acid. and then over caustic soda
The dried air may be cooled artificially
or be heated by electricity.

Still another question or Mr.. Ryan:
What will the Socialists do with the
farming lands7"
The Socialists propose that the gov
eminent shall conduct large farms Just
in the same way as il will run mines
and railroads. The best machinery will
be used and the best Of scientific meth
DDS will be employed. The farm work
ers will, of course. get the full social
value of their labor.
Persons who may want to work indie

they individually can cultivate, and not
be permitted to monopolize land they
cannot use
The food of questions with which Mr..

the farmer produces only 500 per capita

Is Socialism Inlpracticable or Not?
THO Sides of Question BY Students
Mr.. Ryan Says That No Single Proof of the
Practicabil;ty of Socialism Was Shown by
Mr.. Kopelin in His Article

Socialism, hope that Mr. KopeIip will
to-day answer. for his party. the ques-
tens concerning these features that I
propounded last week
II II Is practicable for. the govern
r1ent to monopolize the transmission Of
the mails" says Mr.. Kopelin, why is
1t impracticable for the government to
r1onopoiize the production and transport
tation OF the necessaries of life? Is the
fcod supply safe in the hands of private
capitalists and monopolists? Is It i'm
practicable for people to control the
r:eans of life?"
Admit Evils Exist.
Most emphatically we declare that the
food supply is safer in the hands OF
private capitalists and monopolists' since
under the present system of private own
ership better service means better profit
for these interests. From purify selfish
interests II will be their constant en-
deavor to better their service to the pub
lie. Such an incentive would be lacking
TO the government Official under Social
ism. He could not expect remuneration
for increased interest, industry, and ef-
fciency.
Mr.. Kopelin lays great stress on the
economic evils of the day, all of which
he ascribes to the present system cf pri-
vate ownership. We admit that terrible
evils exist. and that there is urgent need
OF remedying them by legitimate means.
We consider social reform 20 be the
worlds greatest need to-day. But we
deny that the present day evils are in
herent in the right of private owner
ship. Rather. we contend that the fault
is in the abuse OF this right
Proper legislation anC reliable super
vision will correct a great many of the
existing evils. This can be brought
about only by the people themselves in
nominating and voting into public Of
hces such men as will bring about the
desired reforms.
To sum up, Socialism is a weird. vague
utopian dream. and all who listen to the
words of Socialist prophets, expecting
salvation at their hands. ara woefuliy
deceived Socialism is a sentimental.
oenehcient theory. which has 1T least
one fatal objection, and that is, il will
