IMMIGRANTS FROM CANADA

Migration from the Canadian
maritime provinces to the United
States. stimulated by bad indus
trial conditions, began to alarm
the business and political interests
Of the three eastern provinces -
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island - early in
1923. Through the Port of Var
mouth, N. s., Canadian terminal
for a steamship service. with the
United States terminal at Boston,
the exodus has numbered from
1000 to 5000 per month. BY
steamer from st. John a similar
number went to Boston. BY rail
approximately 10000 per month
left the maritime provinces. The
majority of these emigrants set
tied in New England. although
many thousands made their homes
in and about New York city. and
many thousands also went to De-
troit and other cities in the Central
United States. Some thousands
more proceeded further west to
California, Oregon and Washing
ten. 1t is estimated that the year
1923 saw about 100000 people
leave the maritime provinces to
settle in the United States. Most
OF these were young men and
women, with an extraordinarily
large proportion of married men
transferring their homes from
Canada to the United States.
A serious consequence OF the
depression has been that talk of
secession from the Dominion on the
part of the three maritime prov
iEces has become rife.-P. C. Arm

RAISES AN ISSUE

Pleas of guilty to murder in the first degree entered by
Loeb and Leopold raise the issue again of the efficacy of
capital punishment deterrent of crime Speculation
to what the judge will do is general in locality. The
cync suggests that the millions in wealth back of the de-
PENDANTS will them from the galows.
The fact however, that these boys have thrown them
selves upon the mercy of the court indicates that their
ens followed wise legal advice and opened the only
of clemency available Whether any degree of ceency will
be melted out by the followed in the handling of this
does not alter the fact that plea of guilty in this
has spared the public sickenng details of most revolving
crime
Experience in every state and in foreign countries has
shown that capital punishment has decreased the number of
murders. The increase of capital oenses in states
conviction and abuse of the pardon have caused stu
dents of crime instances to the general restor
alton of capital punishment.
In North Dakota the capital punishment statute left it
discretionary with the jury whether the extreme penalty be
imposed and many judges today will subsantate the fact
that this law acted as deterrent of murder.
Most people will agree that the young men in Chicago
should not purchase them immunity from the gaows. A
good example of how Jail sentences commitment to
asyums for rich criminals work out is to be had in the
Thaw case.
The murder of White cold booded premeditated
and unusiable crime Harry Thaw is free today
because public opinion longer aroused and the people
have forgotten the monstrosty of his crime So it doubt
less would be with Loeb and Leopold in twenty thirty
after the public had forgotten this most
",tal murder.
Socieys right to be protected in instances such this

Charles came to the convention
and occupied room at the Waldorf
with his brother, Bill. He was not
a delegate, and therefore kept off
the floor of Madison Square Garden,
but he spent much time in the run
way under the speakers platform,
listening to the proceedings and
waiting for something to turn up.
Perhaps the nomination was the re-
ward for his patient persistence.
Other considerations than his per-
sistence. however, had the deciding
hand in placing him as second man
on the ticket.
William Jennings Bryan is still
power in. the party. Even his bit
terest enemes admit that.
And in; the speech by, which he
sought to break the deadlock, after
the first five days balloting, Brother
Bill enumerated half q dozen candi-
dates whom he considered as good
timber for the nomination. In this
list he did not include Davis. Davis
he was frank to say to any one who
asked, he considered too close. to
Wall street.
After Davis had been nominated,
the question then came of picking
a running mate that would hold
Bryan-William Jennings Bryan-to
the ticket. tft.u
The obvious answer was: Brother

With Brother. Charles on the tail

tainly would trail along. Il
