THE WANDERERS RETURN

For a variety Of reasons many of
those who had come to the United
States from other countries have within
he past year or two gone back where
hey came to settle down for the rest of
Of their lives or to determine what the
conditions are there before making up
their minds what they are going to do.
In great many cases they came here
Tor the benefits they could get from CON
ditlons in this country and having
amassed what amounts to a fortune in
their eyes they are planning to make
The best Of it back home. Some had
been here much longer than others but
2 great proportion Of them left with
ReA filed purses.
Whether that was so with regard to
the 312 families which have gone from
This country to the province of Quebec
IN the past year, half of whom have set
lied on farms, is not known but when 1t

We would be living in a Utopia.
Perhaps 1t would be well to say a
word about those poor degenerates or
white trash" the manufacturers Of
moonshine," in the southern mountains.
Unfortunately most of US do not know
them as they are. They may be degener-
ates as far as illiteracy is concerned,
but they are not degcnerates in other re-
spects. They, too. are ruled by the same
passion and desire for liberty and
square deal as we ourselves are. To
them we owe more than ,slurs. AS pa
triots of our country. even though We
are remote from them, We owe a ser
vice for the men they have produced
since the dawn of a free country for ali,
and for the men they are still produc-
Ing. A good example Is the present head
of the Manufacturers association 81 the
United States, who recently said that he
was not afraid as far as production was
concerned, but that he feared more that
the manufacturers might not accom-

SAFEGUARDING THE RECORDS.

At various times as fires have de
stroyed valuable and irreplaceable rec
ords attention has been called to the
failure to provide the proper safeguards
against such possibilities. The demand
Is pertinent wherever vital records of
town, city. state or federal governments
are involved, but 1t is unfortunately the
case that in too many instances there
Is delay in attending to such matters
until something has been destroyed that
cannot be duplicated The city OF Mon

ing about ten million dollars and 1t was

States treasury building was ahre, willis
the number Of instances where fire has
destroyed charts, accounts and books Of
inestimable value are many.
The need under such conditions was
for firepcoof vaults, or buildings for the
storage of the documents. Many are
the instances where reliance has been
placed upon safes and vaults only to
find that the heat has caused much de-
struction within.
Thus there cannot fail to be reali-
zation that a meve in the right direction
| is being made by the court of common
council in directing the finance commit

| IS needed in order to make the vaults
containing the city records freproof
What is desired is a fun degree of pro-
lection. If the interior equipment is

TINE FOE ECONOMY

When the report is made that the
committee has eliminated the third of a
million appropriation for free seeds
from the agricultural bill it shows that
the committee at this time is convinced
even as it has been on previous coca
sions that such expenditure ought not
to be made. or else it is anticipated by
the committee what congress will do
regardless of it's recommendations.
There, is, however no warrant for the
belief that the committee is attempting
TO dodge the responsibility in connection
with the free seeds for there would be
nothing gained by recommending some
thing about which the committee was
fnsincere. 1t would be too easy to ap-
ply the same reasoning to other COM
tnittee recommendations if such an at
titudc as that were taken.
When the agricultural committee in
aicates it's opposition to such an expen-
diturc it understands the opposition that
has long been manifested throughout
the country to such use of the gov
eminent money and that in the present
lay method of seed distribution there
IS not being obtained the end that was
sought when the free seed idea was i'll.
augurated.
Inasmuch as the committee on preyi-
GUS occasions has failed to include free
seeds in the bill. only to have it put il
by congress, there is no certainty thai
st will not yet be numbered among the
government expenditures but if there
has not been sufficient reason for con.
gress to exclude such an appropriation
on previous occasions the demand fol
economy at the present time is alone
sufficient to accept the committees de
termination to eliminate that expense.

THE VANISHING MAN
A True Detective story-copyrighted

When Gideon Rabshaw, chief Of de-
tectives of Cleveland, Ohio, was noti-
fled over the long distance wire from
Buffalo, that the police of that city had
captured the four men responsible for
the murder of Patrolman Leroy Bou-
ker, he smiled, shrugged his should
ers, and muttered:
Fine work !! That much is out of
the way
But, had Rabshaw. only known it,
his troubles were only beginning
for one of the bandits, man by the
name of Meaney, determined to fight
for his life with every weapon that
the law afforded him.
Securing an attorney familiar with
the kinks and twists Of criminal law,
he quickly succeeded in manufactur-
Ing an alibf which appeared to be
iron@clad. Half dozen witnesses
swore that, at the time Bouker was
shot. Meaney had been In their COM

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

4 GTetcubs
Mr.. Editor: In my last letter to The
Bulletin. was not dominated with
wish to slur the ancestry of this, our
country, but l was actuated more by
desire to show that the early colonists
of America were as an average Of no
higher ideals than those who migrate to
this country today.
Why did the early colonists come to
this barren shore, depriving themselves
Of everything and entrusfing their lives
to the hordes of Indians surrounding
them on all sides? They were possessed
with hope to escape persecution from
unjust laws which prescribed even the
way in which they should worship. Yet
we cannot ignore the fact that they
were lawbreakers. Even though we must
admit that their laws were unjust, how
ever, NE must concede that a change in
the laws and ideals of a country can
not be altered overnight, but are more
like mill at which one grinds exceed
ingly slow, but turns out a good pro
duct. Perhaps if we were to live three
hundreds years from now, we would see
laws we Thought just, pictured as acts of
tyranny. We must all admit that our
laws have not reached a perfect state
as yet and that there is sufficient room
for Improvement.
Now, Mr.. Editor, may 1 ask Why SO
many immigrants have migrated from
the shores of all countries to this land b?
They, too, are persuaded by a longing
to escape from their country where there
is no hope Of reward for hard work.
Even they are DESTROYS of going to
land recognized as a true giver to
those who are willing to serve
their fellowman. Then, too, they wish
to fee from the heavy taxations which
holds them in poverty. To these asser-
lions 1 can answer in the affirmative and

strolled down the street and started
to mount the Steps of the house,
totally unsuspicious of his danger. An
Instant later, Rabshaw was upon him

the fugitive, realizing the folly Of OPP

his hands and surrendered.

you manage it?''

through the nlll Of getting acquainted
with Canadian customs institutions and
ideals.
There are reasons why Quebec might
well be happy over such immigrants. 1t
is no more than might be said by most
any country when they saw the wan
derers returning and knew they were
getting the simon pure article and that
the melting pot process would not be
required.
Inasrnaeh as they have returned to
Canada the inference is that the Que
bee Official expects them to- remain
there. But inasnuoh as they have been
getting more or less acquainted with
CONDITIONS south Of the border it is pos
sible that they will not be satisfied to
remain in the land Of their birth for as
long as he expects. The attractions
may not prove to be as impressive upon
experience as they were In anticipation.

attack upon the other three men who
had not the foresight to provide them

Therefore in spite of the pleadings
of Chief Rabshaw, Meaney was releas-

Less than twelve hours later, tho

that riddled the carefully prepared
alibi-evidence which proved that
Meaney had been directly implicated
in the murder. But it was too late.

But the days heightened into weeks

At night, when his days work was
