sAPPING OUR STRENGTH

While committees Of both houses
OF Congress are preparing to press
immigration reforms at the next ses-
sion, Speaker Clark is giving atten-
ton to the other side or the ques-
ton. Emigration, the speaker said in
a statement yesterday, is costing the
United States millions of dollars a
year in actual money aside from the
loss involved in giving up real AM
erican to be replaced by foreign
immigrant.
1T is high time" said Mr.. Clark,
that more attention be paid to the
influence of emigration upon our fu-
ture. These Americans who are
leaving US understand our institu-
tions, our ways and our aspirations,
while most of the immigrants who
enter the country have to be taught
these things.
In one week not long since 1,845
American farmers with s38S,500 in
cash and $4,000 in personal prop
erty, crossed into western Canada to
settle permanently in British North
America. That's an average of 1888
per capita and that week was below
the weekly average into that region
alone. How many go to other coun-
tries / do not know.
These emigrants are among our
best citizens. | am personally ac-
quainted with 200 or 300 of them
There is not a bad or shiftless man in
the lot. They are seeking to better
their condition. The principal reason
they expatriate themselves is the lure
of cheaper lands and less stringent
land law as to homesteading, etc. =

GREAT PREPARATIONS
AT GETTYSBURG

Gettysburg. June 25.-.There will
be ample accommodations and plenty
OF rations for all veterans who come
to Gettysburg for the battle anniyer-
sary celebration next week, even tho
the number exceed by 10000 the
original estimate" is the statement
made by officers of the regular army
at camp headquarters.
Here we have over 5000 tents,
nearly all of which are now in place, :
said one officer Every one is sup
posed to be large enough to receive
eleven men. We have apportioned
only eight to each tent. BY making
it nine you have additional accommo-
dations for 5000 men, and you can
increase this by another 5000 with
out crowding anyone. 1t is true that
we based our supplies on an estimate
of 40 900 veterans, but the amount is
elastic and can be made to serve for
many others. For instance, We allow
a pound of bread for each man day.
Few men eat this much, or even half
this much. Other supplies are based
on the same liberal plan, and every
veteran who comes here will get shell
ter and all the food he needs"
