immigration Puzzles Uncle Sam


From the poverty-stricken novels of
Russia and her kindred countries, from
the plague-ridden districts Of Southern
Europe the United States is claiming
annually her toll of ignorant and illit-
crate immigrants. Careful as the de-
partment may be to safeguard the well
fare of our nation, watchful for dan
erous characters of the Black Hand
and similar organizations, and con-
tinually resorting to deportation as
protective measure, still the country is
filling up with undesirables, and there
seems no way to check the flow. The
problem of immigration in relation to
it's effect upon the future of our coun-
try is one that must sooner or later be-
come an issue, for the facts as revealed
by the latest statistics are alarming.
A generation ago our population was
increasing steadily with an annual in
flux of immigrants from Germany,
Scandinavia and the United Kingdom
attracted by the free land offers made
by Uncle Sam and the unbounded op-
portunities for betterment These i'm
migrants were of the steady, sober
class, well educated as rule and bear
ing very low percentage of illiteracy.
From one to four per cent represented
the number of illiterates. while their
thrift made them well-to-do within a
few years, Now the situation is com
pletely changed. Of the 100000 for
eigners who annually seek our shores
the great majority come from Russia,
Austria, Hungary and Italy. Poor, OPP
pressed, with no chance for betterment,
they listen to the siren voice of the
INSCRIPTIONS agent who is willing to
pay their fare across the ocean, for the
evils Of their present existence stare
them in the face and they can see no
chance for worse fate. They hasten
to escape the known evils for the vague
hope of brighter horizon. From 10
to 48 per cent of them are illiterate.
Never having had anything in the old
country, they have not learned how to
make their way here. Many of them
are fit only for day labor. ~. ....
If these immigrants would scatter
over the country and settle in the rural
districts the problem would be less

For several weeks past New York
has been in upheaval because of the
strike of 10000 garment workers and
the concurrent strike of walters in no.
tells and restaurants. These strikes
have been most obstinate and have eli
cited much sympathy, both from other
unions and from persons outside the in
fluence of labor. The large number of
women and girls involved is probably
in part responsible for this, for the
condition of many of these women is
very close to the starvation line. The
effects Of hunger and cold have been
noticeable in spite of efforts to give re-
lief by the establishing of depots for
the distribution of clothing and money
and the opening up of free lunch rooms.
The strikers demand better pay and
shorter hours, besides general better
ment of sanitary conditions in facto-
ries and restaurants where they are
employed
Much influence has been brought to
bear upon legislators and city officials
looking toward the betterment of con-
ditions in the trades affected by the
garment workers strike Ex-President
Roosevelt announced that the execu-
tive committee of the Progressive
party would use its influence in the
legislature to secure the creation Of
minimum wage boards in the garment
trades.
In speaking Of the conditions among
workers in the garment factories, the
head of the International Ladies Gar
ment Workers Union said. sThey are
worse paid than the workers in any
other occupation I know Of Girls on
leaving school will be employed in the
white goods factory at $3.50 week.
In six months they will get an advance
of fifty cents week and in another
six months another fifty cents week

earn So week and they seldom reach
$s a week. Another leader says, 81 In
cases where the manufacturers charge

row horizon, and discomfort, anarchy
and crime become their portion. Those
who are fortunate enough to secure en-
ployment save up their pennies and
send them back to brother or friend
that he may take advantage of the OPP
portunities in the new country. So the
population is increasing, not from the
increase in birth rate among or own
people, but by steady stream of un.
desirable foreigners.

Stop Eating Meat for a While If Your
 Bladder is Troubling You

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the knidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a we'll known authority. Meat forms uric acid which OverWorks the knidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort Of paralyZed and lOggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them. like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick head ache. dizzy spells; your stomach sOurs, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night
 Either consult a good, reliable phy- sician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates. thus ending bladder weakness.

GIVE YOUR PICTURE
 EVERY POSSIBLE CHANCE
An Important Aid Is the Carefully
 Selected, Finely Made Frame.

The big State Fair is now only a few days distant, and those of you who are planning on exhibiting paint ings, sketches and drawings should not wait another day before having your work properly framed. The first rule of the Department of Fine Arts is as follows:
 All classes of paintings, drawings and pastels intended for competition must be suitably framed"
 There is a great advantage to ex- hibitors in having their exhibits framed properly. This also increa Ses the chance of securing a prize, for that can have more of a charm in a good picture than an artistic, care fully made frame. Balke's Big Curio Store on West Adams street is prop erly prepared to do the best in fram- ing. Our frame maker is an English artisan who has had years of ex- perience in fine picture framing and his work is regarded as the finest ever seen here. Many intending ex- hibitors have already sent in their entries with notes to MT. Bake to exercise his own judgment as to the frames
 Bake carries in stock over TOO styles of picture moulding; uses noth- ing but the finest grade French pie ture glass, and as a result his frames are always satisfactory.
 To do good work takes more or less time. and there is now very much time remaining. The Big Store is anxious not only to please it's pat rcns but in this case it has also

 All those who have watched the exhibits in the Art Department of the local Fair the past years have no- ticed pictures that possibly possessed quite 2 little merit but whose artistic effect have been entirely ruined by a poor frame.

we believe writes the editor, that
strikes have been the bane of trade
unions
It is the fear of just appalling re
actions, which invariably arise from a
stunned, defeated, and exhausted la
Dor movement, that has led every con-
structive socialist and trade union
leader in this country and in Europe
to deplore the general strike agitation.
"The question Of the general strike, -
said Legien, at the international CON
gress of 1900, "is not at this moment
sary discussable for this very simple
reason that when one seeks war it is
first necessary to begin by forming
the battalion, which can fight So
long as the working class do not pos
sess numerous and powerful trades
unions, it will be desirable only in the
interest of capitalism to declare the
general strike, because this general
strike can have only one consequence,
and that will be to deliver the work
ing class into the hands of the capital
list, who will shoot it down OF impover-
ish it"
Legien ended by advising, Organize
first" and turning to the advocates
of the general strike, he added: "You

general strike-you have only to com
mence by recruiting your armies"
