DIRECTOR SMITH

Rev E. S. Smith, of this city, has
been appointed a district director of
the campaign which Pennsylvania
College, oldest educational institu-
ton west of the Alleghenies, will
conduct beginning the first of jan
uary for funds to place it on the
same plane as other denominational
institutions, to enable it to hold its
professors and make needed i'm
provements in the building of the
college.
DR.. Crossfield has estimated that
the college will need within the next
year 1897 900 and that its needs for
the next five year in the way of en-
dowment will be s2,997, 900 if Tran
sylvania is to keep up with the pro-
gressive institutions of the other
churches.

on the members of the Business

There are some of you people who
have money to invest, probably
good many own lots, and it is up to
you to build houses. AS a business
proposition, where could you invest
your money in more profitable or
safer way? If one half of the mon
ey that has been taken out of Hop
kinsville and Christian county during
the past year, 1919, on Wild Cat
STOCK schemes mad been placed IN
homes, this condition would not ex-
list; the people who want to come
here would have somewhere to lay
their heads; therefore,
earnestly appeal to you to make
an investigation of the need of
homes in this city and get behind a
movement to build more houses.
Wishing all Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year, ! beg to remain,

Now we must have homes; houses
have to be built not only to satisfy
the man who thinks that he must
have little finer home than the

indeed, they may prohibit it alto
gether. On the other hand, par
ticular conditions will tend to pre-
cipitate a considerable influx. Enor-
nous taxes in themselves should
prove a strong incentive to home
leaving, and general living condi-
tons and industrial depression
should have a similar result. The
Italians who are now departing with
what they regard as fortunes may
find, when they reach the other
side, that the purchasing power of
money is not much greater in their
homeland than in the United States.
and not improbably the tide may
once'more turn westward. The fact
is that the general economic confu-
sion that exists all over the world
is reflected also in our immigration
statistics; and precisely how the
new conditions will affect our alien
problem is not yet apparent. What
is apparent, however, is that we had
taken in a great many thousands of
people whom we had not assimilated.
and who formed a menace to our
government, institutions, and socie-
ty, and that whether immigrants
wish to come in large numbers or
not we should subject their coming
to the most careful scrutiny. Even
if we suffer from a lack of labor
it is better than suffering from a
lack of political cohesion. We need
to work hard on Americanization.
and to be rigid in our exclusion
of those who do not assimilate east
ly, certainly until we have amalga-
mated all the foreign elements now
within our borders.

ALASKA HEADING
TOWARD SIBERIA

CORDOVA. - Alaskan oldtimers,
living up to their old slogan of
''mush on" are looking across the
Bering sea to Siberia with a view
of going into that country in num-
bers and washing Siberian sands for
gold and trading with Siberian ma
tives for profit.
Siberia is a second Alaska, rich
in minerals, timber and furs," J. L.
Mcpherson, manager Of the Alaska
bureau of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce, has been quoted as say
ing. There is a big country lying
across the Bering sea awaiting Am
erican men and money"
Reports from Nome say a num-
Der of oldtimers of the Seward pen
insula are thinking of crossing 10
Siberia. Until the Allies restored
order and government at Vladivos-
tok, however, the unsettled state of
affairs in Siberia kept the Ameri-
cans out.
Twelve pioneer Alaskans are mum
bered among the stockholders of the
recently organized Siberian Com
mercial company, which recently
bought the steamship Gedney and
started for St. Lawrence bay, ST.
IBERIA, to establish a trading post.
Aboard the Gedney when it left
Seattle for Siberia were 25 stock
holders, who intended trying their
luck washing the sands of St. Law
renee for gold. Next fall the new
company plans to send a representa-
tive to Vladivostok as the first step
in enlarging its sphere of opera
tons.

LEAVING THE U. S.

For the moment, it is pointed
out in the July issue of the Worlds
Work, the historic position of the
United States as a magnet for i'm
migration has changed; the reports
of the immigration commission show
that we have become an emigrating
instead of an immigrating country.
For the decade preceding the world
war. American ports attracted about
a million immigrants year, an in
.vasion that alarmed the majority of
Americans, and led Congress to pass,
over President Wilson's veto, a
measure which was intended to keep
the least desirable of these new
corners at home. The war almost
stopped the influx; in 1918, about
10000 immigrant aliens arrived at
our ports, but, since nearly $4,000
emigrants left during the same peri
cd for their European homes, the
net gain to our population was not
more than $4,000. The signing OF
the armistice Immediately turned the
balance still farther in the other
direction; at once resident aliens
began to depart for their ancient
homes at the rate of about $4,000
a month; a rate that would amount
to 10000 year More than 80
per cent of these emigrants are
Italians, and there is scattering
of Greeks, Spaniards, and Portu
, guese. For the most part they
represent a new kind of war prof
iteer. They have spent the last
four years working in munition
plants, shipyards, and other indus
iris relating to the hostilities in
Europe; they have acquired what
represents a competence in the coun-
tries of their origin, and have re-
turned with the expectation of
spending the rest of their lives in
Lois 414 ~ Aor
been necessary to stop these gen.
tlemen on the piers at embarkation
and collect their income taxes, a
ceremony which has, disclosed that
most are taking back at least ST.
500, and some as much as $500, a
neat profit for their few years So
journ in this country.
Is this change in the immigration
situation likely to be permanent
Congress has under consideration q
bill stopping immigration for four
years; are natural developments
likely to make this measure super
huous? A considerable part of
Europe, in its housings and its in
dustries, must be reconstructed in
the next few years; the losses of
war have caused a scarcity of la
borers; and for this reason it may
be taken for granted that the Euro
pean governments will make emigra-
ton as difficult as possible, and that,

land" is the title of a booklet
which has just been issued and is
being distributed under the aus
pices of the Alaska bureau of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce, that
live, progressive commercial body
that is now doing so much toward
aiding and encouraging the devel-
opment of the potential latent re-
sources of this vast territory. ODE
velop Alaska is the slogan en-
ployed on the front page, upon
which is also shown a comparative
map of the United States and Alas
ka. The legend underneath reads,
Alaska is one-ffth the size of the
United States, nine times as large
as the state OF Washington, and
twelve times as large as the state
Of New York"
The booklet contains fund Of
valuable information about Alaska
and its resources, dealing particu-
larly with mining, fishing, fur and
other industries.
Under the head of "Alaska's
Needs" the booklet recites:
"Alaska's growth and prosperity
is dependent, like all other coun-
tries, on people-men and women
who will be attached to the country
by home and business ties. The
country has proven so rich in nat
ural resources, both of the land and
sea, as to assure a strong and sta
Bile population; but such people will
be attracted to Alaska only through
a policy of encouragement. s.
The adoption of broad con-
structive policy that will make for
the rational development of Alaska,
through the peopling of the country
by men and women equipped to
combat the trials and hardships of
the northern frontier, and such a
people attached to Alaska by home
and business ties, is the only foun-
dation on which may be built a
prosperous and progressive North
land that will be a source of
strength TO the nation.
The early Inauguration of such
a policy is the goal to which all
true friends of Alaska should per-
sistently labor"
In summing up, the booklet says
1T is only with the construction
of at least three great transcon-
tinental railroads reaching from
open harbors on tidewater into the
vast Interior of Alaska, with numer-
Gus branches as feeders, that the
wonderful resources of Alaska can
be economically developed and made
to serve the uses of man
with the construction of the
roads and the building of the nu-
merous branches as feeders, and
with liberal policy of inducement
and a spirit of encouragement to-
ward the pioneer and pioneer capt.
tai, Alaska will pour into the lap
of our people a stream of wealth,
not only Of gold, copper and the
precious metals, but also of fish,
agricultural products, meats, furs,
and coal, that will have no com
peer.
