Whose The Blamae.

Some people often wonder why it is
that the Americanization OF our foreign
born makes such slow progress IN spite
of the enormous efforts made by the
school, the pulpit and the press. The
root of this evil is easily found when we
consider how little the real spirit of
America has entered the life of those who
want to teach these foreigners the way
to hecone American. Look for instance
at the attitude of the mill owners OF
Lawrence, Mass.
The recent strike there was discussed
at a meeting of the Harvard Liberal
club Of Boston and Judge George w.
Anderson made the most astounding
statement that it was the deliberate
policy of the mills to mix races, and never
have more than fifteen per cent OF any
one race in a mill. The reason TOR this
policy is plain: The more race hatred
of each other, the better for the mill
purpose, for they are less likely to get
together and organize. There are thirty
one different nationalities at the Lawrence
mills. They most certainly would prove
large field for so-called Amerlcanlza-
ton work. They all need guidance,
instruction and sympathy. There are
many similar groups Of people IN other
parts of the country. But how to edu-
cate them and make good citizens out
of them if those who should help them,
know nothing better than to bend every
effort on exploiting them and take every
unfair advantage of them!

Wednesday, April 80, 1919.

This is the week of the last loan drive
and many there are who wonder how it
is going to be possible for them to find
the funds for another purchase of bonds.
However, there are many things in
favor of the present loan that could not
be said for former issues. The money
first of all is togo toward healing the
scars of war rather than to make new
wounds. 1t will be used to bring
the bows home rather than to send them
away. 1t will go to help even those
who have been the enemy by opening
IN new avenues for their products and
helping all the stricken peoples to get
back upon their feet. A year ago
MANY of us would have been willing to
give all we possessed if by so doing we
could have brought silence on the battle
fields. Now, that peace is so near
why be niggardly and say Il haven't
any money l can spare" 1t isn't
case of finding the money one can spare.
It's a case of being willing to wait a few
years for some things most OF us like
to have now. There are, OF course
those of small means to whom flfty'
dollar bond means far more sacrifice
than a thousand dollar bond would mean
to our ''better citizens" as they styled
themselves when they felt their loyalty
was superior to that Of those to whom the
war meant terrible sacrifice and suffering.
The DOOR should not be put under the
pressure that was brought to bear IN
other loans. They have done their
share and perhaps more. Those who are
more comfortably situated, however,
can we'll afford to take bonds this time.
Thew will tie up their money Tor only
few wears and they will have hand
in getting the world set to rights again.
And what is more they will be loanlng
their money to the government at a
verv attractive rate of interest when
it is considered that the Victory Loan
Bonds draw interest at the rate OF 4-o-4
percent, interest payable semi-annually
and that these bonds are exempt from
taxation.

More radical than any demands ever
made by the socialists of this country
are many of the planks in the program
recently adopted by the young Labor
Party of Illinois. This party is rapidly
gaining a foothold in other states, es
pecially in the East, where the same
radical changes in the industrial and
political world of the country are asked.
Nothing shows better the deep-rooted
dissatisfaction with present conditions
among big percentage Of our working
people. '~-~-
The attacks of this new party&bove
all are directed against the present in
dustrial system and a radical change is
demanded. Industry and commerce
must be conducted in the general in
terest of those who devote mind and
body to their development, says the
platform Of the party and that means
that the welfare of the laboring man
should be considered at all times and
under all circumstances.
The state ownership idea is en-
phasized more than ever in the history
of the American labor movement. Not
only are the so-called ''means OF traffic.
such as railroads, telegraphs, etc., to be
taken over by the government-that is
taken for granted-but also elevators,
warehouses, stock yards, slaughter
houses, insurance companies and banks,
and if possible'also the mines, the latter
to be under federal control. About
the only exception are the farms which
are to remain in the hands Of the in
dividuals, but the state shall make pro-
visions to give all the inhabitants in the
cities or in the country home or farm.
There can be no. doubt that these de-
mands will become the object of heated
arguments, but just for that reason they
must be welcomed even by their oppo-
nents because only by open discussion
shall we be able to learn what public
opinion really is in this vital matter.

or fifth year Of the disease they are
perhaps then reported, and, soon after,
appear also on the list Of deaths.
(b) Indirect methods Of estimating
the number of new cases each year
! and the total in the state at any one
time, must, therefore, be used and are
based on the deaths, which we do know
pretty reliably. Thus, in Minnesota
about one person in each 1000 Of the
population dies of tuberculosis each
year. AS the number is not increasing
nor diminishing especially, it would ap-
pear that there must be at least one
new person per 1000 taken sick each
year to supply the one death per 1000
/ due five years later. Since there are
about 800 deaths per year in Minnesota,
we should expect at least $500 new
cases annually-an these represent
only those who are to supply the deaths.
The greater the percent of recovery,
through Sanitorium treatment, ETC.,
the more must be taken sick, to supply
the lists of recoveries later.
Now, we can calculate the total num-
Der of cases existing today, 19l9-thus
$500 which became sick first in 1914,
$500 in 1915, $500 in 1916, $500 in
1917, $500 in 1918, or 1880 cases in
all-tkat are going to die-the 1914 ones
dying in 1919, the, 1915 ones in 1920,
and so on.
But in addition to these who are going
to die will be large uncertain number
who will recover. From figures made
in surveys of particular places, it has
been calculated that the total cases
may be calculated by multiplying the
deaths by 5 .(New York City, by 8
pittsburgh or by 10.
My own impression is that the Pitts
burgh figure is probably the nearer right
of these three. This would give us in
Minnesota a total of $4,000 tuberculosis
cases of which 1880 are going to die,
$500 are going to recover.
If we take the factor 10 as correct
then the total would be $4,000 cases
half to die, half to recover. III
1t must be remembered that these
figures are all general averages placed
in round numbers and not directly APP
plicable to small groups.
We might summarize by saying that
the annual deaths in Minnesota from
tuberculosis are in round numbers about
$500; that there are from $4,000 to
$4,000 at any one time in the state and
that somewhere from $500 to 5000
new cases develop every year OF which
about 2, 500 die, the rest recover.

It is hard to convey to the general
public the enormous cost of the war and
the debts it has pressed on the nations.
Herbert Samuel brings the figures within
ordinary comprehension when he says
that it will take England IS per second
for 400 years to pay off her Indebtedness.
In other words England will have to pay
$4,000 an hour for the next four CEN
turies to clear off her slate. Mankind
can engage in no more expensive business
than the horrible experience Of war.

Sam Says;
The life of the late F. w. Woolworth
is romance of the business world.
Mr.. Woolworth was born farmers son,
but his graduation at 10 from a business
college was his first step toward business
success. His first job was in dry
goods store at WATERFOWL, N. Y, the
understanding being that he receive no
salary until three months apprentice
ship had been served He was then to
get $3.50 week, and after two and a
half years service his wages were raised
to S. week. This boy forged his way
ahead until he became the greatest
retail merchant in the world, not only
in volume Of business but in number Of
stores. He built of nickels and dimes
the tallest building in the world, the
51-story Woolworth Building in New
York City. 1t was in the store Of Moore
& Smith at Watertown that Woolworth
first tried scent bargain counter.
They furnished him the credit for open
ing his first store; which was failure,
but with the aid of fellow-clerks, his old
boss, friends and relatives, he finally
put into operation in 1912 over 400
stores with sales per year running well
into the millions. Mr.. Woolworth's
theories, of more sales, lower profits and
quicker turnovers have revolutionized
American merchandising. He dreamed
largely but unlike most dreamers put his
dreams into practice.

TO Hail Prince at Church

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS. w
Va, Nov. l6.-The modest little
wooden church which nestles among
,he pinc trees on the mountainside
mere probably for the first time in it's
existence had a capacity congregation
day with the double attraction of a
olshop preaching and royal prince
as one of the worshipers. When the
Prince OF Wales entered the edifice
every seat, with the exception of those
reserved for him and his suite. was
occupied. Among the trees outside the
church the old-fashioned buggies of
the mountain folk were tied alongside
the luxurious limousines Of the re-
sorts social colony.
Little groups Of the mountajneers
and their families gathered near the
church to watch the Prince as he en-
tered and left the building. but with
the courtesy for which they are famous
there was no attempt to crowd the
royal visitor. From a considerable dis
tance they watched silently the young
man whose path in life is SO very
different from their own, then drove
off to their distant farm houses.
Ihe sermon was preached by Bishop
William l.. Gravatt of West Virginia,
who took for his text: "He set his face
steadfasEly to go to Jerusalem" The
substance of the sermon was the nee
esity of every man, prince or peasant,
to have purpose in life.

The afternoon was devoted to golf

Lancashire Fusiliers. Private Nelson
reminded the prince that he had
