THE IMMIGRANT QUESTION.

The hordes of foreigners who are
planning to come to this country, if
possible, are menace to the oppor-
tunities of the native born colored
working people who should be pro-
tected by appropriate legislation.
Two suggestions have been offered
with respect to. proposed immigration
legislation in addition to the per-
centage basis submitted by Senator
Dillingham;. One is that the number
of immigrants permitted to enter
from any particular country be gov
erned, as far as possible, by the per-
centage of that element of imrnigra-
ton which over period of, say, the
five years Immediately preceding the
war sought to be naturalized, the
number to be regulated at the ter
mination of each five-or ten-year
period. Government statistics should
be available for such solution. An.
other suggestion is to compel each
immigrant to hold license costing

TALK YOUR WORK UP.

| beg of you, do not talk your
work down. You cannot build it up
by talking it down. If YOU cannot
talk it up, for gracious sake keep
still and say nothing.
We don't have much trouble about
what we don't say. If you must tell
your troubles to someone, tell them
to God, but don't tell them to the
people around about you. No bust
ness man or professional man or anv
other man who has thought things
through properly ever talks about
the difficulties of his work either
publicly or in his work.
The general of an army should
know full we'll all the difficulties that
confront him, but the less he saws
about them the better. Knowing and
talking are. two different things. It
is said that Won Moltke was once
asked to what he attributed the sue
cess of the Duke of Wellington as a
great general. His answer was, that
ne attributed it to the fact that he
could hold his ongue in seven differ
emit languages. If we can hold our
tongues in even one language, it will
help a whole lot =.
A cheerful front is half of the
battle. Don't become sour. Don't
become a grump. Don't become a
sorehead
Keep seriously sweet or sweetly

keep mum and keep sweet no matter

FETE FOR NAPOLEON
United States Asked to Join in
Great Celebration.
Foch at Head Of French COMMITTEES
Arranging for Observance of
Death Anniversary.

New York.-American participation
In the celebration by France of the
hundredth anniversary Of the death
Of Napoleon on May next, was in
vited here by Prof. William Multi
gan Sloane of Princeton, N. j., speak
ing for the French committee headed
by Marshal FOch. A feature of the
affair whose objects, it is stated, are
ito bind up the wounds Of France
will be a great exhibition Of Napoleon
ic relics at Malmaison, France, to
which collections will be loaned from
all parts of the world.
Professor Sloane, who for ~ years
held the chair of history at Princeton,
and latterly at Columbia university,
said that French statesmen, soldiers
and men of law and letters as we'll as
other. professions compose the commit
tee which is arranging the centennial.
Making all allowance for every Sc
we're criticism of Napoleon's career
he continued, lit is still true that his
work unified France, saved it from
partition among it's foes and in civil
life prepared alike the foundation and
structure of the society which in the
World war saved France and helped
to save all western civilization.
1T was by his impulse and guild
ance that the financial credit of
France was restored, that the mag
istracy and administration took def
mite shape, that the civil code was
promulgated, the Bank of France Gre
ated, the University Of France mod
eled on that of the state of New York
and the council Of state organized.
HE made private property safe,
opened public ., charges, great and
small, to all classes; founded schools,
colleges and secondary schools, built
magnificent highways, dug an elabo-
rate system Of internal waterways,
improved transportation Of every sort
and, above all, reorganized in his in
stitutiOns the commanding position of
belles-lettres, the fine arts and nat
ural science. The superb inheritance
Of order, progress and prosperity
which he beQueathed made the France

''The French committee especially
desires American participation by con-
tributions, by the loan of Napoleona

all, the moral support of intelligent
interest on this side of the Atlantic -
