GUARDING AGAINST THE WAR IMblI-
GRAFTON"

Congressman Burnett's immigration bill, re-
ported yesterday as ready for introduction on
the opening day of Congress- will have more
than usual support because of the strong belief
that after the war our shores may be made the
dumping ground for an immense number of
unfit immigrants.
The tide of immigration which for two de-
cades has been setting toward the United
States was checked by the outbreak of war.
For time there was reported an excess of de-
partures over arrivals. But now, even though
several countries are preventing their able
bodied men from leaving, the immigration is
again increasing.
Such figures as are available in Honolulu
show that for September the influx was greater
than since last May The immigration of Sep
tember exceeded that Of August by 11.6 per
cent Meanwhile emigration is less than for
merly, per cent less emigrants leaving in
September than had left in August. 1t must
be .reckoned, moreover, that Italy g call to the
coIors had drawn many thousands of reservists
from the United States in the last few months,
which increased the number of departures ma
terially
The immigrants are from all European coun-
tries, even those Of Germany and AUSTRIA
where, It would be supposed the able bodied
men would be staying at home to fight It is.
well known that Great Britain had to take re-
sirictive measures to keep Irishmen from ship
ping to America. If the tide of immigration is
again beginning to rise, in wartime and when
every effort is made to keep the men at homes

Industry in the war-countries will assure work

There is, therefore, good reason to expect anil
abnormal immigration to the United States for
the decade mmeliately after the war closes,
whenever tll.It may be. To restrict this immia
sration, to; ban out as "undesirables" those
without education, to protect American labor,

wasted in drinking bouts and their after effects
help to line the pockets.
1.-THE net result that the Russian villages,
SO to say, roll in money. Meat, formerly eaten
once or twice year, is becoming part of the
daily fare and dwellings and farming utensils
and decent clothes are being purchased out of
savings by the agricultural population.
1.-The one danger with the increase of eco
nomic strength is the possibility of decrease
of moral strength Vodka filed void in the
empty and lusterless life of the peasant. He
wonders how he shall spend his free time and
his superfuous money.
The teetotalers are alive to this danger, and
already, in certain districts of Russia, people s
houses are being provided, equipped with Ii
braries, tea, lecture and reading rooms and
cinematographs
All this Is to the good, but big effort is es-
sentiaI in order to raise the intellectual and
moral level of the nation if Russia's teetotal
year is to be more than a little episode in her
history

Have you ever heard, in the lonesome
 night,
 The call of the wind-swept sea, Mighty and strong, the great sea song Ever pitched in a minor key? Have you ever stood on a barren plain When the red sun sank below The curve of the world. and the night
 was hurled
 Like a pail OCT the afterglow? Have you ever seen a, single leaf Alone in the wintry blast, Like an old man, gray. outltving his
 day
 With his heart in the wistful past? Then surely you know how the somber
 things
 Which God in his wisdom sends To turn mems thoughts in kindlier
 vein,
 When the days mad labor ends. -J. Walter Baird In the Stylus.

Billions of Rats Great Menace to hIu-

 Under normal conditions a female rat will bear three to five filters of
 ten, each year. At this rate one pair of rats would in five years increase all survive. The economic losses from rat depreciation in the United States are enormous. A government report says: 'Tt costs the American people $100,000,000 yearly in grain alone to feed the rat. Add to this $35, ,O00, 900 to $50,000.0O in merchandise. poultry, eggs. other foodstuffs, damage to buildings, furniture, pipes, embanlz- nents, foundations, piers, etc, and you have an amount equal to the rev. enue Of an empire. And so far as anyone has been able to make out the They are a wary, alert and dangerous foe, and it will require intelligent, energetic and unremitting efforts to suppress them. In some localities the suppression of the rat has become al- most a necessity for the preservation man into all parts of the globe and where the rat goes, plague and other diseases invariably go. The rodent, in addition to carrying plague, is also the reservoir of trichrinosts. and ten other parasites. Furthermore, rats nave 16pTOSy. 1u6y alSO nave cancer, These tumors occur ''spontaneously' among wild rats and may be readily transferred from rat to rat. The rat has grown from a nuisance to a. dan ger and control of this rodent has be- come a serious health problem, as well as a necessity. The above re- markable figures, facts and comment are taken from a recent issue of the Journal of the American Medical as- sociation, and the reports of the agri- cultural department. They are set forth here for the purpose of calling attention to a recently discovered remedy for the rat pest which seems to have special claims for considera- tion.

COLONIAL THEATRE,
"A Deadly Hate" Three Reels, with
 Marc McHerrott in Double Role.


 Today begins one of the strongest bills of motion pictures ever offered the patrons of the Colonial theatre. including many of the worlds master p1eoas In the three-reei feature to- day, the Edison company presents Marc McDer1nott in the double role of the twin brothers in "A Deadly Hare". Tn this very exacting capac- itg, NJ. McDermott appears as Sir John Meredith. a man of great pres t1ga. an6 Charles Meredith, a absolute epllepttc. The plot revolves about these two brothers, one of whom is 5etrothed to Lady Constance. this being Sir John, much to the pleasure of the twins father. The dfssolute one IS overwhelmed with jealousy, and in a vital moment, does away, temp ofarily, with his brother, and appears in his place at the wedding. The out come of this very deep and alI-ab- sorbing story furnishes one of the pest plots for a screen-d drama ever presented, and the mammoth cast is seen to wonderful advantage in this stupendous. spectacular offering.
 The big two-reel Biograph entitled Adam Beede," by George Eliot. is superb in every sense of the word, and this costume play has the repu- tation of being one of the most un- usual and beautiful dramas of the year.
