THE WAITING IMMIGRATION
PROBLEM ..t
THE Houston Post. /

News dispatches relate what decided con-
trast there is between the expensive baggage
end clothing of and women returning
home from America, and that of the people of
those poverty-stricken and debt-ridden coun-
tries. The natives can not but compare also
the rags and bundles these people carried when
they started to America few years ago, with
their luxurious equipment brought home.
Such evidences of prosperity in America and
such opportunities for acquiring wealth, are not
GOing to be lost on the struggling masses of
Europeans. Americas fame was already well
known to them, and our war prosperity has en-
HANGED our reputation as the land Of economic
opportunity.
We may confidently expect then, as soon
as conditions in Europe make it possible. 81.
Gantic movement, headed in this direction. Re-
cent experiences have shown that national
safety demands most discriminating method
in admitting aliens, and our future as a nation
depends not admitting more than we can
Americanize. 1t is perfectly clear that other
such waves Of immigration of peoples who come
here only to exploit our resources, as we have
had in recent years, would come dangerously
near swamping our ship of state.
Although the tide is still flowing in the other
direction now, due to unusual causes, 1t is not
too early for Americans to begin to give serious
thought to this vital problem which will have
to be solved within the next few years when the
tide will turn this way again in the volume of a.

THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE
1.-THE Hartford Times.

1t would be a sad world, more than ever
in these dark and disturbed days, but for
the constant possibility that one may meet
a loved and old, familiar friend. One con-
fesses, without shame, a fondness for the
old fairy tales. We need their diversion
more than ever as the world grows strenuous
and wthal matter-of-fact and prosy.
+ Welcome, then, as heartily if it had
no previous existence, the Oft-told tale that
science has found the mystery of the trans
mutation of matter. Sir Ernest Rutherford,
since 1902 Langworthy professor and direc-
tor of physical laboratories at the University
OF Manchester, is this time the offering. The
industrious Matin, of Paris, announces with
all the zest and gravity of original dis
coyery that this distinguished scientist has
solved the riddle of transmutation of matter,
the secret sought by the ancient alchemists.'
1t were waste of words to remark how
important this is if it is true. Transmutation,
OF course, was of old confined to change of
the baser to the precious metals. To trans
mute pewter to silver or brass to gold was
the dream of the ancients. We need hardly
bother about such things now. But he who
has found how to change sand into sugar,
or buestone into coal, or water into milk,
would Immediately become benefactor
whose name the race would make immortal
His art was never so needed as now.

MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
EXPOSITION
(The Pensacola JournalD


Pensacola is the only Florida city men
toned in the bulletin sent out by the Mis-
sissippi Valley exposition announcing the Or
ganization of a MISUNDERSTANDING company,
formed for the development of the resources
of the Mississippi valley and Latin America,
and to cooperate with other organizations
which are working for this purpose
The plan of this organization is to assem-
BILE annually, or oftener, in some city in the
Mississippi valley, for the period Of two
weeks, the exhibits of states showing their
AGRICULTURAL mineral and timber resources;
exhibits of cities, showing their advantages
and opportunities, their river terminal ia
cilities their advantages and opportunities,
their river terminal facilities, their port and
dock facilities; exhibits of the product of in
dividual manufacturing enterprises OF the
Mississippi valley and of foreign countries
with which reciprocal trade relations are de-
sired.
1t will also be the purpose of the organi-
zation to enlist the cooperation of the
United States government and particularly
it's commerce department., the governments
of the various states of the Mississippi val
ley and it's various organizations such as
chambers of commerce, manufacturing asso-
Citations etc. Buyers will also be brought to
the exposition from all parts of the world.
The exposition will be advertised in for
eign countries, particularly those of Latin
America, and a special effort will be made to
assemble and exhibit the resources and prod
ucts of Latin-America.

probably be accomplished by combining hogs
to pastures and giving them the double treat

We have been an advocate OF better breed

tinual feeding and finishing animals properly
before they are put on the market.
We must produce the best here i'll south

the fact that three grand championships
were brought off by southern breeders from
the recent stock show in Chicago. One of
them came to homasvile---southwest Geor

ready When We produce the highest grade
animals we must have the highest price.
We believe this Will come. The market will
improve as the animals improve in quality
and increase in quantity. We must market
wisely, not too many at the time. We should
be sending hogs and cattle to the market
every month in the year.

We have not even been in hurry to attain

a little slow. There are evidences now that
we are to have some speeding up in live stock

Who Won the War2

TNHE report of General Pershing to the
Secretary of War although refrain
ing from the direct assertion, fur.
nisheS an abundance of evidence that the
American army was the decisive factor in
the great victory of 1918. 1t is to be hoped
that every American will read carefully Gen
eral Pershing's report, for it contains that
which will confirm and strengthen the ap-
probation for the services rendered by the
American soldiers on the fields of France
and Flanders. The tribute from the com
mander-in-chef leaves no doubt as to his
estimate of the courage and capacity of the
men who compose the great army. 1t was
not for General Pershing to claim for his
troops credit for the victory and he is tc
be commended for having contented himself
with a straightforward recital of facts, 1eav-
ing the conclusion to others.
And others have judged. Major General
Sir F. Maurice, formerly director of military
operations Of the British staff, in his work
entitled "The Last Four Months; How tbs
War Was Won" says:
81 doubt if, even after the second
battle of the Marine, there was a single
allied general who believed that it would
be possible for a great American Army
to force its way triumphantly through
the German lines. Many of the Amer
lean divisions who fought in those last
UdlCleS WHICH Drought us victory went
into action with little or no experience
Of trenches and none at all of the hell
on earth which constitutes a modern
battle. Neither the American gen
erals nor the American STATS had had ex-
perience in fitting together the numerous
parts of the military machine or in ham
ding large bodies of troops. For all
these reasons a great attack by Amer
lean troops against intact German de-
lenses on the most difficult part of the
front was bold experiment. It was one
thing to obliterate the st. Mihiel salient
IN thirty hours, to stop the German rush
at the Marine, or even to drive the Ger
mans from the Marine to the Vesle in CO.
operation with allied troops 1t was
quite another matter to fight continu-
ously on front of some twenty miles for
close on fifty days, through line after
! line OF German trenches, in a battle
which entailed the employment Of nearly
three-Quarters OF a million American
troops. 1t was done because America
placed the pick Of her splendid manhood
in the field, and that manhood went
ahead at the job in front of it without
counting the cost. By doing it's job it
| gave us victory in 1918"
General Pershing's report is a summary 0
how the job was done, and in the telling O
1t he has written a story that should be reaC
by all who feel pride in the record Of tht
EXpeditionary forces and OF the great arm,
or soldiers who were not permitted to par
ticipate in the actual hostilties but wht
remained in America and rendered faithful
service.
