WHEN THE TIDE TURNS.

Nearly a million and a quarter i'm
migrants came to America in the
year before tee war, and ten millions
of immigrants came during; the de-
cade before the war.
- With the countries of the Old World
in turmoil, the tide will turn again
to our shores, and yet more millions
will come to us for refuge.
There are more Irish in the United
States than in Ireland, and fifteen
times as many Jews in New York as
in Palestine. We have some 8,000,-
900 immigrants from Great Britain,
and6, 100000 from Germany. Our
Italians would fill city five times as
large as Rome. We have twice as
many Greeks as Athens, more Poles
than Warsaw and more Scandinavins
than Stockholm.
There are in use to-day in this
country seventy-seven languages and
dialects.
This is not Americanism!
AS long ago as 1894, Theodore
Roosevelt said: "Where immigrants,
or the sons of immigrants, do not
heartily and in good faith throw in
their lot with us, but cling to the
speech, the customs, the ways of life
and the habits of thought of the Old
World which they have left, they
thereby harm both themselves and US.
If they remain alien elements, un-
assimilated, and with interest sep
arate from ours, they, are mere OBJ
structions to the current of our ma
tional life, and, moreover, can get
no good from it themselves"
With the exception of the North
Italians, no group of immigrants with
a period of residence of five to nine
years has as yet naturalized as much

The Wonders Of America
THE "sEA.GoING" RAILROAD.
BY T. T. MAxEY

THE "SEA-GOlNG" RAILROAD.
YEY WEST is nearer the eastern
N terminus of the Panama canal, by
almost 800 miles, than any other of our
gulf ports. It Is separated from the
main land by the Florida keys-a more
or less disconnected string of islands,
composed largely Of coral and lime
stone. .-.t-.--e-
To reap the benefit of its strategic
position, however, direct and quick
transportation with the main land was
necessary. A railroad was the an
swer It's construction was considered
impracticable and impossible. But
there are men who Will undertake any
thing. The late Henry M. Flagler fur
nished the funds and the work was be-
gun In 1905. Men from many climes.
material of many kinds and new meth
DDS Of construction were called into
service. The winds, waves, torrid
sun. many known and unknown fac
tors had to be grappled with and
solved. Even nature had to be over
come. The construction must be storm
proof.
From Homestead, where the exten-
sion begins, to Key West, it is 128
miles. Jumping from island to island
are II miles of concrete arch viaducts
and six miles Of steel bridges-one of
which contains 243 spans. The con
struction Of the line on the islands
proper was comparatively simple.
Joining the island by rail was the
ticklish job.
Thanks to the genius, grit and un-
firing efforts f the engineers, one may
now enjoy the heretofore unthinkable
and unique experience Of riding from
Key West to Miami in about five hours
on train running, for the most part,
over water instead of on land.

THE TOWN BAND.

REGARDLESS of the undoubted progress OF
~ civic administration the country over, in quite
the majority of smaller towns and commun-
tiles there is one requisite seriously neglected.
That is the town band.
Whether you prefer to call it the Philharmonic,
the Symphony, the Municipal, or just the Town Band
it the same We shall refer to it as the town band
Every community should have not just band,
but a good band a band that is the pride OF the
people and the pinnacle of every small boys am
bition
good band in the town is good, but the essent-
ial feature is that it be the Towns Band, and not
private band that demands high wages and plays
ouly for the more fortunate who can afford to pay
high prices to hear it.
It should be band that plays for all of the
people = the bankers the merchants, the laborers,
the women and children alike.
And especially the children.
1t is trte to say that music is beneficial to chill
dren. Every one knows that. But perhaps all
have not thought how much really good band,
under competent leader, playing the very best OF
the worlds music, can stimulate the childs ambition
to know and to play good music.
No child who understands high class music will
ever care greatly for ja71 and the general run Of
low class dance hall music
And dance music can be of just as high class
quality as church music-if one be properly educat-
ed in what is music and what is mere trash.
We suggest to the people OF this community
that they give this matter serious consideration.
Why have no band, why is the band not
up to the standard we could desire?
Here we have our full quota and over OF music
al talent but to train that talent costs money One
can not expect the individual to bear the expense OF

LET'S USE OUR BRAINS.

1yHE world today is upside down, and America
is not the least of the countries floundering in
L the throes of internal disturbances.
Each day sees an increase in the dscord and un-
rest which prevails but we fthis community should
not be drawn into the maestrom.
We should take no step in this direction without
due and careful consideration. Above all, we
should never permit boisterous minority to stamp
ede the sane and sensible majority. We should
preserve our American institutions in the true
American manner.
We want production and prosperity, but we can
expect neither unless right and justice prevail And
this we will have only when opposing interests come
together in calm and dispassonate manner for a
fair and reasonable discussion of their differences
The Lord gave brains with the expectation
that we would use them in the proper manner. He
gave us understanding, that we might employ it in
determining the good from the bad, the wise from
the foolish.
Let's use the brains God gave us.

If every newspaper in the country would stop

Roosevelt said, "Fellow feeling, SYM
pathy in the broadest sense, is the
most important factor in producing
a healthy political and social life.
Neither our national nor our local
civic life can be what it should be
unless it is marked by the fellow
feeling, the mutual kindness, the mu-
tual respect, the sense of common
duties and common interests, which
arise when men take the trouble Co
understand one another, and to as
sociate together for a common OBJ
ject."
No one more than Theodore Roose-
velt was gifted with this "fellow-feel-
ing that makes us wondrous kind"
What the immigrant needs from us,
and what we owe him, Roosevelt
preached.
The nationwide campaign of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association for
the spreading of his staunch Ameri-
canism, and for mem orials that will
perpetuate the ideals Roosevelt stood
for, will fill the week of October 20
9th. This very campaign is in the
nature of things a plea for the Ameri-
can immigrant. And those of us who
revere the memory Of a great man
can serve that memory no better than
by bearing in mind the needs of those
who seek refuge on our shores, and
our obligations to them.

rs III percent OF its number,
This is not Americanism!
Whose is the blame?
At least half and more than half,
is our owu.
What then, must we do, to abselve
America of the charge that the men
and women who come to her from
foreign countries do not receive from
US what they should receive?
To begin with, assimilation works
both ways. We must take the i'm
migrants out of the slums. The
worst part of every city is given over
to the foreign element, and it is to
his racial group that the newcomer Is
inevitably drawn. We must put them
where they can have decent surround
ings and where, above all, they can
mix with real Americans; where they
can see the advantages of their new
country, and where their own interest
will make them learn the language
and the custome of the people by
whom they are surrounded.
Second, the huddling together Of
racial groups must be discouraged;
no city should have Little Italy,
or Ghetto. This last is as neces-
sary as the first. If there is to be
assimilation, there must be contact;
there must be sympathy instead of in
difference. In the strenuous Life"

Tl7.IEN the day of sickness comes, as 1t comes mes
w to every gent, and you sit, with folded @
thumbs, far too weak to earn cent, Will WI
you have your little roll to defray the beasty ols,
pills? Feeling well, men do not think, do not keep
that day in view, when their health is on the blink
when thew have the itch or flu and they blow in all
they make blow it with their hearts serene for glad
rags and angel cake blazing gems and gasoline.
Each one thinks he is immune, sickness Will not come
his wav. and he blows the round doubloon in his
large and princely way. But some morning there's
call for the doctor and the nurse; there's congest
ion of his gall, and he's hourly growing worse And
he lies around in bed, just weak and futile wreck,
with poultice on his head, anda plaster on his
neck. And his wife has pawned her duds, and shes
washing by the day, in a cloud of steam and suds,
inst to keep the wolf away And he hates himself
SO bad! And he sighs "When am well Twill grip
