Connie Mack Says FederaIs

PHILADELPHIA, January AT a
late hour last night Connie Mack, man

had not received a summons to appear
before Judge IS. NJ. Lands of the
United States district court in Chicago
January 20, the date for the hearing
of the injunction brought by the Fed

ball dissolved as a trust. Nor had B. f.
Shibe, the other half owner of the Ath-
lletics, received one of the sixteen sum-
monses reported to have been issued
yesterday in Chicago for the owners OF
the sixteen clubs in the American and
National leagues.
When Mack was Informed that such
court papers were issued he replied:
"Probably they don't think I am d
magnate, but figure I am just a regu-
lar base ball manager"

off the bat into the waiting ear of
Mack.
"They can't by the most vivid stretch
of the ina gination figure base ball a

desire to improve the game. as they
try to lead one to believe, they surely
would act different. They have hurt

No wonder your old college chum
and army comrade, Roosevelt, is sore
at the kaiser. Henry Allen writes:
When Colonel Roosevelt was the guest
of the kaiser on his way home
from Africa a grand review of Ger
man troops was arranged for him.
He was given the finest mount in the
imperial stables and as he reviewed
the troops with the emperor photo
graph was taken of them. In one Of
these photographs Colonel Roosevelt
had taken the attitude of pointing
out something to the emperor. Short
ly after Roosevelts return to the
United States, he found one of the
pictures in his mail and written on
the lower margin in the handwriting
of the emperor were the words:
Here is where lieutenant-colonel
of a cowboy regiment in America was
telling the German emperor how he
should run the finest army in the
world"

for the political break which brought
it about, but there can be no doubt
that the movement knocked Taft's
political prospects galley west, and
made him run a pitiful third. But
then the insurgent movement waned,
and the Republicans gained. The
gain was due to the follower who
came back, and it isn't strange if the
leaders who remained feel sore to-

Taft is standing pat, and a rank out

OUR MISTAKEN SENATOR.

Senator John w. Kern, former run

to line up with his former partner in
opposition to increasing the size OF

busy giving out reports that India
ma is opposed to improving the ma
tional defenses.
If he really believes that, Mr.. Kern

prises of his life this coming Decem-

approve tremendous increase in the
army, it is true. Few states will, in
our judgement. But the people of In

Of reasonable increase in the stand
ing army, creation Of reserve and
federal control of the national guard.
When the people begin to be heard
from in the public prints we venture
the opinion of Mr.. Kern is going to
find out also that the people of In
diana like those of the other states,
are going to be found favoring a
considerable development of the army.
If Mr.. Kern expects to truly repr-
sent the people of this state at the

ear to the ground again and keep
it there. Less pork and more army

THE WAR AND IMMIGRATION

For years the restrictionists have
sought to have law placed on the
statute books which would cut down
immigration. What they have been
unable to accomplish themselves, the
war has done for them, says the
Scientific American.
In the years 1913 and 1914 the to-
tails of aliens admitted to the United
States were 1,427,227 and 1,403,0S1
respectively, and the gains in alien
population, after deducting the num-
bear of those who return to Europe
or elsewhere, were S15,302 and 769,-
267. The increase of alien population
in the course of the immigration year
which ended June Both was 5000.
The number of aliens who were adj
mitted was S4,l74. The most dras-
tic restrictive legislation could not
have cut down the flow as the war
has done.
Not only the war fulfilled the de-
sires of the restrictionists in respect
to a wholesale reduction in the i'm
migrants, but also in respect to the
racial character of the immigrants.
The reactionists have argued that
those from central and southern
Europe were undesirable because
they were closely allied in blood with
the original settlers of the country,
and because their political institu-
tons and social habits were different.
One of the results of the war has
been that the majority in 1914-1915
came from the countries fronting on
the North sea and the Atlantic ocean.
OF the large number who went home
IN many cases to join the colors of
their respective countries, by far the
larger proportion were of the class
of so-called undesirable nationalities.
The period of reduced immigration
is likely to continue more than a
year, and the indications are that it
may last from three to four years.
1t is not generally believed that
peace Will be concluded within year
Following the war there will be much
constructive work to be done in all
parts of Europe. 1t can be SAID with
confidence that the countries now at
war, or which become involved, will
not encourage emigration. Some of
them, on the other hand, will do what
they can to discourage it. This will
be particularly true of lands whose
industry has been built up on con-
siderable scale. Some governments
will not, of course, be in so good
position to interfere as others
owing to the freedom of movement
guaranteed by the laws or customs.
Fighting for the salvation Of the
fatherland stimulates patriotic free
dom. Doubtless this will play some
part in retarding emigration.

All who have studied the matter
agree that with the signing Of the
peace treaty, both Germany and Eng
land, our two great trade competitors
will engage in separate war on the
United States in an effort not only to
re-capture the trade lost during the
struggle, but to break down the in
dustr,al supremacq of this country. A
prominent western business man de-
clared that already foreign manufac-
turers are planning a "get-together"
or syndicating movement against
America following the cessation of
hostilities IN Europe. If this country
is still subjected to the baneful in
fluences of Democratic tariff law
when peace is declared there can be
but one outcome-the industrial
bankruptcy of the nation. Already
Democratic opportunists are seeming
ly giving ear to the advice of BUSH
ness men, and dropping hints of a
restoration of the duty on sugar,
protective duty on dyestuffs, and var

Mining, which originally formed
the only industry Of the San Juan

greatest of our resources, and is des-
tined to remain so. The payroll of
