PeddIlnre aarden Seed.

Peddling Garden seed.
From Farm and Fireside
The peddling of garden seeds is
small business for a statesman, but
we pay some 400 congressman $500 a
year each and mileage for doing it.
of course, they do other things, but
all the time spent in seed peddling is
paid for at the rate of $500 a year.
AS voters we ought to be too econom-
ical to hire seed distributors at that
price.
When we plan our garden we spend
some time on it. We pick out the
seeds carefully. If our congressman
spends any time in studying our in
dividual seeds it must make the seeds
they send us very expensive indeed,
If we only count the congressman s
time, to say nothing of what the gov
eminent pays for the seeds, If he
doesn't make individual selection, but
simply says to the clerk, well, you
may put in the morning sending seeds
to the grangers!" it's rather insulting
to those who gets the seeds.
Instead of a personal attention from
his representative in Congress the
farmer receives a measly little dole
of charity It is as if every year the
congressman sent the farmers wife
calico apron. 1t is exactly the same
thing. save that the apron would be
a more useful gift, in either case it
would seem insulting. Secretary Hous-
ton has recommended that seed ped
ding be stopped"
Immigration and Unemployment
From the New York World.
In 1907 1854 immigrants landed
here. unconscious of the coming panic.
In the next two years 1,115,220 per-
sons re-emigrated, relieving the pres
sure of unemployment-but with what
waste of time and money; at what
cost of suffering; with what needless
profit to the steamship companies!
The panic over, foreign steamship
agents again raked Europe for gulls
who would believe that money lay in
our streets waiting to be picked up,
and last year 1,197,S92 immigrants
came, only to face another slack
period. No wonder there is distress
when, with not work enough for those
already here this vast unwelcome
host is added,
To check the flood is not easy. The
ilhteracy test in the pending Burnett
bill is the worst possible. 1t would
admit the forger and the counter
feiter, as well as the professional man
who finds it so hard to get work, and
exclude thousands of useful laborers.
Commissioner Caminetti favorS a
test, such as army recruits
pass. Senator Dillingham; would ad
nit only men who bring families as
proof of an intent to stay. Others
would accept yearly only a certain
percentage of those of each nation
atty already here.
None of these methods would avert
injustice and suffering. Something
might be done to mend matters if
dishonest representations by agents
abroad could be punished, if the head
tax of deported immigrants were re-
turned to them, instead of to the
steamship companies that risk moth |
ing in bringing them, and if the i'm
service were strengthened, so
as to return more undesirables. |
Merely rejecting the unfit would les
sen the sad effect of immigration |
upon lack of work. But more than
that is needed, and he who shows |
a practicable plan is indeed a bene-
factor.

LETTERS
READ IN COURT

Kansas City, No, Jan. 17.-Letter
files from senator T. B. Catron's Of
fees in Santa Fe were introduced at
the trial Of Don A. Noun Day and his
wife for misuse of the mails, yester-
day and the letters indicated that
there hal been much misunderstood
ing between the Noun Days and the
senator over the carrying out of the
land agreement.
In one letter written by the sena-
tor to Noun Day, CatrOn said the
land dealer had not properly con-
served the water rights of the tracts
and others were taking them up.
In a letter replying to this charge
Noun Day wrote that 'it makes no
difference about the water rights; a
reservoir had been planned for tax
ing care Of the irrigation of the
tracts"
The letter charged that the senator
had failed to send Noun Day an alb
stract to the tract and that he exper-
fencing difficulty in selling the land
Prospective buyers, he said, sus-
pected fraud when agents were IN
able to show an abstract to the prop
erty.
One Of Noun Days letters charged
that CatrOn had misrepresented the
lands. Other letters purported to
show that Noun Day had sued the
senator in the courts of New Mexico
over some question concerning the
land deal
