EXPERT SAYS THAT BOYS
ARE BEST IMMIGRANTS

Winnipeg, Man, July S.---BoyS
make the best immigrants, according
to T. e. Sedgwick of London who IS
in canada to find farm homes Tor
boys from English cities.
Sedgwick has been engaged in find
ing farm homes for English city boys
in the colonies of the British Empire
since 1909. AS the result OF a per-
scnal visit to New Zealand, fifty
farmers there agreed to take English
bows to bring up on their farms. The
bows were apprenticed to the farmers
for three years. Their pay for the
three wears was deposited in bank
and at the end Of their apprentlshlp
was turned over to- them with the
expense of their voyage deducted. Inc
ages OF the boys ranged from 10 TO
20 wears. The success Of this expert
ment led to the establishment OF sew
eral thousand English boys on farm
homes in Australia. Three thousand
bows were placed in Victoria, 1,50O in
New South Wales, 800 in South Aus
tralia and several hundred IN queens
land.
"Boys," said Sedgwick, "are splen-
did advertis ements. Their letters
home exploit the attractions of their
adopted country in glowing terms.
They are more adaptable than adults.
They absorb the traditions. and Gus
toms Of a new country. They usually
marry a woman of the country and
often they bring out their parents
and relatives to settle in the same
neighborhood.

homes for several hundred English
bows among the farmers in the coun-
try of diversified agriculture in Can

The Raymer enterprise., 1921-03-31

A FTER Woodrow Wilson had been
"A teaching In the classroom for q
quarter Of a century that the presi-
dent ought to be more like prime
minister, "trying to cooperate with
other human beings" than "a mere
department hailing congress
from some isolated island Of author
ity," the opportunity came to him to
put his theory In practice. When con-
gress met In extra session month
after his Inauguration he walked In
and delivered his message in person,
reviving custom which Jefferson had
stopped only because he happened to
have q poor voice and was an awk.
ward speaker.
President Wilson adopted the atti-
tude Of sort Of member ut large Of
both houses. sauntering unheralded
Into the seldom-used presidents room,
which adjoins the senate chamber,
whenever he had any special business,
and talking things over In the open.
The president succeeded not by
arousing a personal loyalty to himself
but by the force Of his ideas. Il have
had a majority on the floor, but" he
admitted, never majority In the
cloakroam."
Here are the outstanding items In
the peace record Of the Wilson ad.
ministratlon: Tariff revision, the first
income tax. the federal reserve act,
the federal trade commission, the
Clayton trust law, 30 arbitration trea.
ties, the seaman's act, the farm loan
The Raymer enterprise., 1921-03-31

the repeal Of Panama tolls, the ship
ping act. the child labor law, the pur-
chase Of the Danish West Indies and
federal aid for good roads.
The federal reserve law Is poten.
daily as great piece Of constructive
legislation as any that has been en-
acted In this country. We were abso-
lutely without a financial system, and
the money Of the nation was in the
irresponsible control Of a few big
banks In New York.
Every attempt to remedy this situa.
tion had failed because private tinan-
cial interests naturally wished to keep
their control of the money. The Aid
rich bill In the Taft administration
proposed to give the sanction of law
to this private domination. but con.
gress refused to pass 1t.
The federal reserve act simply re-
versed the Aldrich plan and gave the
nation, through the government, the
control Of Its own money.
President Wilson was the relentless
driving force that pushed through the
federal reserve bill and the rest Of the
legislative program.
The electric spark was omitted from
President Wilson's composition, and
this omission denied him a flowing
communication with his fellows, a nat.
ural limitation which was confirmed
BY the life he had led until he was
suddenly thrust into the hurly burly
Of politics.
President Wilson has been a lonely
figure In the White House. He came
to the presidency stranger to public
men, and no president can make new
friends-real friends.
His reelection was one of the big
surprises Of our presidential elections.
For several hours after the polls
closed he appeared to have been badly
beaten. and Hughes went to bed with
the assurance that he was president
elect.
After all the great Industrial states
which had decided the elections In the
past, except Ohio, had sent In reports
Of Republican victories, the tide was
turned BY the far West. which had
been almost forgotten in the reckon
Ing, but where the conservative inter-
ests had less influence. At last the
returns from remote hamlets In the
Sierras gave California to the presl-
dent by less than 1000 plurality. He
had lost all but two Of the northern
states east Of the Missouri. and yet
won by carrying all but two Of the
states west Of that river, where the
women voters are supposed to have
rallied to him because "hs kept % out
