A CORRECTION.

I am informed that report is be- iCg circulated that prior to the pri- mary election two years ago, I offered Jim Cobb of Arden $100.O0 to carry the election at that place for me. I cnnounce such report as absolutely false. I did not offer MT. Cobb any thing at any time CT any place for his influence in the primary election of 1914, and I have no fears that the good people of Little River county, who have known me all these years and who have honored me by electing me their treasurer for two terms ana after two years electing me their clerk one term. which honors I cer- tainly do appreciate.

BARON ASTOR

William Waldorf Astor has come into possession of
his title as Baron of Hever Castle" 1t has been an
nounced, and is generally accepted, that King George of
England, in elevating Astor to the peeraGe. was actuated
by the belief that it would be pleasing to Americans. If
so, it shows the most surprising lack of familiarity with
the public opinion of a nation whose real sentiment
should be more accurately gagged by the titular head of
the only other great English-speaking nation. And what
must Americans think of King Georges advisers?
The king not only assumed Astor to be popular with
the people of a nation he had repudiated, but evidently
inferred that our people would regard it as an honor to
have one whose origin was among them decorated with
the badge of an aristocracy for which they have no touch
of reverence, and even little of respect. We %repudlated
all that one hundred and forty years ago, and told Eng
land so with the rest of the world
King George was mistaken in his conclusion that
Aston was personally esteemed in America, for he is not,
except by a few who have fawned upon him bv reason of
his wealth as he has in turn faWned upon the nobility
of England because of their birth.
Astor has probably done more to uphold the king of
the English government in the present war than any
E~nglshman of means. and by his lavish contributions to
the war treasury. he has probably helped to win the dis
tinction for which he has been striving for many years
boot licking, buying, endowing, 1oaning, and enduring
rebuffs that would have been resented by any man with
genuine American red blood in his veins.
But now that Astor is raised to the rank of a peer
can't make the people of England, nor the people of
America, forget that he is not a peer, nor will they forget
that he bought his title with the money which his an
cestors accumulated bv skinning skunks and driving hard
bargains with the Indians.

THOSE WAR STOCKS

The last issue of the New York Financial World, just
at hand, refers to the war profits as being composed OF
super-heated atmosphere, the temperature being due large
" to the efforts of brokers. Recently a Canadian financial
news service published what appeared to be an authentic
story regarding the prospective profits of a number of war
contracts that had been placed with a Canadian concern.
AS the story ran the total of these contracts came to more
than 100000, and the profits on the business were to be
ST $4,000, a turn over of 50 per cent and equal to more
than 30 per cent of the company's capitalization of $685.
900.
1t happened that at the time the contracts were placed
the company needed capital and was negotiating a loan on
some bonds with New York bankers. Now. according to
the Financial World, the brokers who are booming the
shares in both the New York and Canadian markets, let
their imagination run wild, and from another source, con-
sidered reliable, came the information that if even 100000
net was made on the companys contracts, the company
would be lucky. It's total profits in 1914 were but $7o,6o2.
When the truth becomes known, as eventually it must,
how many of the so-called rich war contracts placed with
American corporations but little known, may turn out to
be nothing but cock and bull stories like this one. The
Tribune is disposed to accept the estimate that this coun-
try is supplying not more than ten per cent of the war mu-
nitions that the allies are using, and only a very small part
OF the supplies that go to the Teutonic powers.

SOLVING THE IMMIGRANT PROBLEM

The problem of assmiating our alien population
has been simpltied by the war, so far as mere numbers
are concerned. While we have had an awakening as to
other aspects of the immigration problem, that awaken
ing is likely to be helpful to our future treatment OF the
foreien-born citizen. We are likely to devote a little more
attention to his instruction in the duties of citizenship
and the meaning of his oath of allegiance.
But as to numbers, we reached the crest OF the I'M
migration wave about five years ago when the total per-
centage of foreign-bOrn rose to AZ. 1t is now on the
decline, and at the beginning of 1916 it will probably not
exceed II per cent, and with another year or two OF war
it will drop still further.
