IMMIGRATION TRAGEDIES

1T is inconceivable that such an i'm
migration should have come in such
seasons by natural process, without
Misrepresentation. 1t is inconcelv-
able that i'll six lean years 3,240, 900
departing aliens should have met s.
415.0 coming in; that 1913 alone
should have brought nearly 1000, 900;
that 1914 is to land 100000, or more
than the probable total of unemploy-
ment-uniess lies had swollen the host
to satisfy greed.
'If folk hitherto honest are turned
criminal by disappointment, If priva-
top drives FORMAL peop'S to the hos
pitfalls or mental anguish maddens
them. if a vast army face loss of time
and waste of money boarded through
years of industry, heavy lies the re-
sponsibility upon steamship compan-
les that comb every hamlet in Europe
to sweep possible passengers into
their dragne's.

SAVING SONG BIRDS.

Many insects OF the old varieties are
reported as attacking the growing
crops in localities and even now
species are In evidence. There are
birds 20 make war on all these insects
and II spread and encouraged the
feathered tribe would hold tn balance
and check the destruction OF vegeta-
ton II they did not wholly stop It. So.
let it be understood that We can shoot
and kill the quals. prairie chickens
and other insect destroyers. in season
and out OF season, until they are al
most wholly exterminated, but the
more effectually we kill on these birds
the more worms and insects will come
20 plague US. The more licenses taken
out by hunters the fewer birds and the
more complaint of old and new enc
mics TO the vegetable world, to fields,
TO orchards and gardens. 1t seems to
be a simple proposition. Shall We
have the birds with their music and
song and freedom from noisome and
destructive insects and worms. or shall
we kill the birds and multiply the
buzzing, creeping, crawling. singing,
pestilentiaI hordes.
With the case so plainly understood
the law should lay hands on the per
son who kills a song bird or a game
bird out OF season as promptly as It
lays hands on an incendiary or a dyna-
inter.

In the three fiscal years. 19O5-19O7,
immigrants numbering 3,413,OOO en-
tered the United States. The very
year OF the panic, 1907. the immigra-
ton record was broken with a total
OF 1858.
Work was scarce and continued
scarce. In the next six years, 1908
1913, about 100000 aliens left our
shores.
Making allowance for those who left
for visits to their old homes, and who
returned to live in comfort there. the
number must have been vast OF those
whose coming here meant sorrow. loss
and disillusionment-an almost in
credible sum of human miseries. There
may have been a million such individ-
ual cases.
The New York World, from which
we quote the statistics given, COM
menting on the facts, says:

With industry sluggish
and much unemployment, 1,03S,596 en-
tered the country in the ten months

portion for May and June will bring

kins, and a few other leaders, to come
to his room and hear him read the
manuscript. The reading proceeded

lionel Roosevelt himself was visibly
moved. But on George Perkins cheeks
the tears were coursing-and when
Beverage came to those passages IN
which he outlined the course of JUS
tice for the men who make the ma
ton, Perkins, with sob he could not
stihe, hastily left the room and paced
the corridor to regain his self-control.
Aye, we can all imagine Mr.. Per-
kins' emotion. He had come to the
progressive conference with his hands
still dripping with the blood of labor
unions, his gun handle notched for the
competitors whom the trusts he had
built up put out of business. And he
was listening to a new political doc
trine, almost a form of socialism, which
was on the face of it designed to end
the special privileges which had en-
abled him to fatten on the misfortunes
of his fellow men.
We can imagine what a time he had
sitting his emotion. He must have
had to kick a dog, wreck another Ia
Dor union and plumber a couple of rail-
roads before he could regain his COM
posture at all.

Mr.. Pinchot and other progressives
wish to get rid of Mr.. Perkins from
the party councils. He seems to be
about the most valuable publicity eX-

autobiography and he will be sure to
write stuff that will have the true hui
man interest punch.

THAT CAR SHORTAGE.

The first hint of a possible car
shortage during the present summer
came a few weeks ago when some
OF the Southwestern lines began hur-
rying up the placing of equipment
orders. Having been in the doldrums
for some time. advance indications of
a tremendous crop in 1914 failed to stir
many OF the railway lines, remarks the
St Louis Republic.
With the march of the binders be-
ginning along the southern rim of the
wheat country the railroads operating
in the great farming regions are begin
ming 10 feel distinct alarm over a SER
ious shortage OF cars. There has been
less car building during the last few
months than is usual. The loss OF cars
and their retirement has gone steadily
on. In brief, the railway men OF the
United States are beginning to under
stand that a serious shortage of cars
for crop moving is Just around the
corner.
The roads west of the Mississippi
have about $4,000 cars adapted for
moving grain. With a 100000. 900
bushel crop OF wheat now about 10 be
cars will be needed for its transporta-
ton. Il will begin moving almost i'm
mediately. Other crops will follow II
so closely that the tension OF car
shortage cannot be relaxed.
On June / there was a surplus of
cars amounting to about 100000. OF
these possibly 10000 are adapted to
grain hauling. There is little or no
surplusage OF such cars in the grain
areas, according to the June 1 figures
of the American Railway association.
When that wheat crop now being har-
vested starts toward the grain eleva-
tors Of the Gulf. OF the Mississippi
river and Great Lakes the railroads

creation. The cars that should have
been built in 1913 and 1914 cannot be

ATTEMPTING TO FORCE AN
EVIL.

Once more an attempt is being made.
through the medicm Of the courts. to
force the city TO recognize an evil.
Proceedings through mandamus have
been instituted 10 compel the city to
relicense the notorious Buffalo saloon
on Twenty-fourth street. Like action,
It Is understood. is apt TO be taken in
the case OF the Billy Rice joint on
Fourth avenue. Both these places
were closed and refused new licenses
as disreputable. and all good citizens
applauded the commission for its ac-
ton.
The city has since increased the sa-
loon license, and restricted the number
of saloons. yet here comes the brazen
enrontery OF an attempt 10 require the
city TO break its ordinances and reis-
sue licenses 20 these dives.
In such a contention the sympa-
thy Of the liquor interests is on
the eide OF the city. They should
join hands with the city in re-
sistfng any attempts 10 debauch the
business by the restoration OF such
evils as have brought shame and scan

1t was one of those foggy. mysterious

AS the car bowled heavily away PINK

down the street toward his new board

He hadn't taken a dozen steps, now

He paused. then started forward
again and paused again. Just then
girls voice hailed him.
"Oh. Mr.. Mead. Is that your" it
asked.
1t was a thrillingly sweet voice-a
voice that would have appealed to
Pink under any circumstances and one
that no man was apt to forget.
Yet Pink was sure that this was the
first time that he had ever heard IL.
and how had its owner known his
name?
He stopped abruptly. with his hand
on the fence.
Through a shallow depth OF shrub
berry and lawn he caught the dim out
lines of a strange porch.
1t was not the boarding house porch:
of that he was sure, for the posts OF
the boarding house porch were set two
by two. Nor was it the boarding house
