steamship companies or individuals |
to promote emigration from Europe |
to the Pacific coast via the Panama !
canal"
After talking with consular agents |
on the subject, and interviewing |
members of the Italian Royal Emil |
grafton Commission, have learned
the following facts about this posi-
BILE undesirable exodus from the |
south of Europe:
There are some thirteen steamship |
companies concerned in promoting it. |
Seven are italian, sailing from Genoa |
or Naples. These italian lines have
a combined carryinb capacity of |
56,392 passengers per trip. Their |
vessels are unsanitary and crowded.
-. Other than italian lines, the Aus
tro-American line will undoubtedly
be in the pool, it is said, and will
bring from Trieste hordes of Greeks,
SIaVs and Magyars, while two lines
that sell tickets in Southern Russia
will bring Armenians and Rouman-
ians to the Pacific states.
From the Pireaus, port OF Athens,
two lines, notorious for their unsani-
tary and poorly equipped ships, will
bring Syrians, Greeks and Macedon-
ians. On so long trip these boats
will become yeritabIe hotbeds of dis
ease, even if the immigrants start in
good health.
The so-called 'jackals of the steer
age" however, are selling tickets to
people known to be suffering from
tracoma and other maIadies exclud-
ed from the United States, and are
even issuing insurance guaranteeing
their passage money back if they are
not admitted at the American port!
Besides the diseased, it is certain that
the great migration will bring to
America thousands of criminals.
What can be done about it?
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1914-03-04

companies themselves are offering
special rates.
As an inducement, they are selling
tickets on the instaIIment plan, at the
rate of 81 week.
They have already booked 10000
passages for Pacific coast ports from
Italy alone by this means.
Because of their reductions over
the common rates, the thirty day trip
to San Francisco will probably cost
only $50. The twelve day trip to
New York alone costs $40.
The Italian government is as much
worried over this prospective emigra-
ton which will come with the open
ing of the Panama canal as is the
United States.
l asked Commadatore Egisto Rossi,
of the Royal Commission on Emigra-
ton, how Italy would meet it. :,
eve cannot stop emigration" he
said, "but Italy does not encourage
emigration to the western part of the
United States. We realize that in
that region the Italian emigrant,
without money, would be mere la
borer, working harder for his wages
than he would in Italy, and possibly,
he could find no work at all if emil
grafton is too heavy"
Should this bruited pool material
ize, and the threatened exodus de-
velop, it will be our duty not only to
warn emigrants, but to take what
measures we can to prevent them
from going"
Other than Italy, no South Euro
pean government has done anything
to prevent the proposed wholesale
emigration upon the opening of the
canal. In those countries the ''jackals
of the steerage" have been given full
sway to book passages via Panama,
and to paint in glowing colors the
mild weather and glorious opportuni-
ties of the Pacific coast.

A VERY FAD ROAD.

South Bend in highway Improvement

Of Diamond lake. Berrien county has
given substantial evidence of good

still way back in the dark ages.
Within a radius of thirty miles of
South Bend we do not know of good
piece of road in Cass county. There
may be some beyond that but. if so,
they are irrelevant to the subject
What we are particularly interested in
is good roads between South Bend and
Diamond lake, and the people of
Cassopolis should be as much inter-
ested as we are.
With South Bend people Diamond
lake is the most popular resort in this
region. They occupy most of the cot
tages there and they are the most nu-
merous guests at the hotels. In one
way and another South Bend people
pour thousands of dollars every season
into the Golfers of CassopoHs mer-
chants and the owners of accommoda-
tions and privileges about the lake,
and this in spite of roads which dur
ing the summer season are the most
atrocious in this section.
People who travel between South
Bend and Diamond lake by train are
not disconnected by the poor roads,
but those who use automobiles. and
they are many. are severely tried. They
sacrifice their comfort for the sake OF
visiting their favOrite resort, but there
are many others who would like TO go
TO Diamond lake but Will not make
the sacrifice. They so elsewhere, TO

Besides, Huerta has set the example.

a dangerous element in the politics of
Mexico, but there are ways of elimi-
mating him less hazardous to public
peace than assassination. Other ma
tons have undesirable citizens, but
they do not assassinate them. They
keep them in control. They suppress
them politically.
The hope of Mexicv does not lie in

chance to elect their national officers,
and when they are given their indi-
vidual rights in other respects and the
opportunity to acquire property and

realized. This is what the mediation
conference is trying to give them.

prevention is, and then utilize il. In
devising such means we have the
premises to work on. The grade
crossings exist Their locations are
plainly marked by signbOards which
in most instances can be seen from
distance. Railroad trains run on
schedule time. Engineers are sup
posed to keep close watch for cross
ings and give timely warning of the
approach of their trains. Except in
cases of failure on the part of en-
gineers to signal their approach there
seems TO be no excuse for a vehicle
being caught on the tracks.
Drivers of automobiles. carriages
and other vehicles, being duly warn
ed by signboards and engine signals
cannot be held blameless if they at
tempt to cross a track without satisfy
ing themselves that it would be safe
10 do so. For their own protection
they should take as much precaution
as an engineer takes when about TO
pass a railroad crossing. Unless he
has a signal to proceed the engineer
invariably stops his train and holds it
until the signal is received.
The signboards at the highway
crossings suggest the same thing TO
vehicle drivers. The signboards warn
the drivers to stop, Look, Listen.
If the drivers needed the warning they
would be safe, but in too many in
stances they do not. They are in a
hurry The speed fiend has posses
sion of their faculties and urges them
to take chances. They may look and
listen, but, alas, too frequently they
do not stop. Their view of the track
may be wholly or partly INSTRUCTED
and their hearing is affected by the
throbbing of their machines or the
rattle of their vehicles.
1t devolyes upon the drivers of We
hicles to exercise as much care in ap-
preaching crossings as engineers take

TO get out for an unobstructed view
takes but little time and is sure to

and to the lives entrusted to his care.
For it should be clearly understood
and appreciated that the driver is re-
sponsible for the safety of his pas
sengers.

A SONG OF GENUINE JOY.

On the topmOst branch of a sway
ing elm pretty wildbird was pouring
forth a wonderful song this morning.
Say. you ought to have heard it.
Patti at her best had nothing on those
bird notes for purity of tone, and the
beauty of the bird song was that it
was entirely spontaneous. There were
no 50 admission fees and no press
agents.
That bird must have had it's lot of
bird troubles-fear of hawks and owls
and foberts; maybe also fear of a
scarcity of bugs and worms.
But you'd never suspect it from it's
song. That was the wholest souled
outpouring Of bird joy we ever lis
tened to. 1t seemed as if it's little
throat would split with melody.
Perhaps there's a pointer for us in
this little incident.
Perhaps we humans nurse our
troubles too much and don't give the
music within us a fair chance.
How about it. fellows? Ready to
tune up?

HOME RUE FOR IRELAND.


The house of commons has for the
third time passed the Irish home rule
bill and nothing short OF civil war can
prevent Ireland from enjoying the par
liau1entary rights OF which it has been
deprived for more than a century and
for which it's patriots have persistently
fought
The home rule law gives Ireland a
parliament composed OF senate with
forty members and house Of COM
mons with one hundred and sixty-four
members. Though restricted in it's
powers by the supreme authority Of
the imperial parliament. the new law
recognizes the individuality of Ireland
and the competency Of the Irish people
10 conduct their own local affairs. and
this IT accomplishes without disturb
ing the sovereignty Of the king or
limiting the powers Of the imperial
parliament with respect to national
and International affairs.
Ireland Is edevated practically to the
dignity and independence enjoyed by
Canada. Australia and other posses
sions of Great Britain. Every Irish
man may now look the world in the
face and say he has a country of his
own, and every Irishman in America
VIII have a longing 10 again set foot

Home rule for Ireland is result of
popular sentiment as expressed by the
English house OF commons That
great democratic body comes direct
from the people and is inspired by the
sense OF fairness and justice which
prevails among the masses. The
house Of commons, like the lower
house OF congress and like the Amer
lean senate. when the members Of that
body are chosen by popular vote. en-
bodies the heart of the people not the
prejudices Of the privileged. and il is
this heart interest which has brought
about the great triumph for the Irish
nation.
