IMMIGRANTS AND EMleRANrs

Among the reasons advanced for
leniency to Italy on account of in
debtedness is that our immigration
laws keep out Italians. who hereto
fore have come here and have sent
home their surplus earnings.
What are we to think Of the re-
port that In July and August Of this
year 1856 persons left this country
for permanent residence in Italy;
that during that period this country
received but 1913 immigrants from
Italy?
A similar trend is noticed with re-
gard to other peoples of southern
Europe. Spain. Rumania. Jugo-
Slavia. Hungary, Greece, Albania
Bulgaria. During that period. how
ever. Germany sent us 1895 and the
Irish Free State 1863 immigrants
while from Canada came 1856.
1t will encourage labor to learn
that Of the total Of 39.473 aliens COM
ing in but 10 per cent were common
laborers. and II per cent were skilled
in occupations. Forty-two per cen,

AND WHAT DOES HE GAIN

Those who argue that prison under
modern conditions holds out induce
ments for those of criminal instincts
to seek repose there does not agree
with the view that criminals are
notinecessarily morons: that in fact
many Of them have bright minds.
Apparently the inmates Of prisons
have no friend SO distinguished as
Thomas Mott Osborne, yet he calls
them crooks, and declares their af-
f1davits are not acceptable as sound
evidence, under all conditions. He
also explodes the report that
Gerald Chapman, the criminal of
master mind" possesses a superior
mentality; that on the contrary it
is mentality inferior in many re-
spects.
Here are a few things those, who
are ambitious to seek renown and
wealth via the criminal route, should
think about. They better consider
whether they wish to deprive them
selves Of priceless possession. their
ability to command confidence.
When the prison door closes behind
them they are shut in from the con-
fidence Of their fellow human beings
on the outside. Their word may not
be accepted. their oath carries with it
suspicion. They may not plead their
own cause nor the cause of others
effectively.
So the criminal makes a ire
mendous sacrifice, and what does he
gain?

Cousin Jane" first Wilson Girl
Heroine. A review by Myla 10
Closer.
Well, just when we had begun to
think that maybe he couldn't do 1t,
Harry Leon Wilson goes and does
1t! In Cousin Jane" his new novel.
he makes the central figure a girl
the first Wilson girl heroine-and
she is as real, as appealing. as vivid
as Merton, Bunker Bean. or any
other Of the famous Wilson galaxy
of heroes, young and old. who Tor
two decades have stirred I'D Inn
perishable laughter and not q little
thought.
Cousin, Jane comes on the scene
at ten years of age in the year 1900
"a proper little girl in buttoned
shoes. velvet coat and bonnet with
rosebuds, who is being withdrawn"
from her select boarding-school be-
cause her fortune has been lost on
the stockmarket by her guardian.
So Jane is taken (by Seth Harker,
the reliable outside man who keeps
the place together" as he describes
himself) to "Tedmon's Folly" the
great house built by her pioneer
grandfather in the little California
mining town, which went to sleep
years ago when the gold played out.
Here her strange cousins live-such
characters as Wilson draws with a
| master hand.
Jane grows up. Little has changed
in her maturing years except the
disappearance Of Sarah. who escapes
from "Tedmons Folly" leaving the
little cousin to drudge In her place
The only escape offered Jane is by
Gus Pedfern, the village boy she Is
drawn to, but refuses to marry.
Then-aImost the very day Jane
realizes that she Is mot old. but only
not too young'-things begin to
happen at "Tedmon's Folly"
James triumph in the end has the
curious twist that only Harry Leon
Wilson can give. 1t is the greater
triumph for that reason. This rich,
tender and moving story Is like VIII.
son and yet unlike anything he has
written before. Those who are
weary of Peppers are going to take
Cousin Jane to their hearts. Pub

SELLING MAINE TO HERSELF

1t has been said that there are two
lines Of endeavor to which Maine
people should be giving timely con-
sideration and effort: selling Maine
to herself and selling Maine to
others.
There are very gratifying indica-
tions that the effort to sell Maine TO
herself is meeting with noticeable
success. A reminder of this was had
at a recent meeting of Norway
Grange. the annual meeting it was,
with good things to eat as only
Maine cooks know how to fix 'em.
The decorations were arranged
with an eye to the appropriate for
Maine, the State flag in conspicuous
evidence. Products of Names
authors and artists were features on
the program or displayed on the
walls. The tableaux and other forms
of entertainment exemplified the pur-
pose to reveal Maine to herself.
Here is suggestion to other
oranges. 1T all helps; there is not
a grange but may contribute.
There's not a particle of ground for
objection other than the expenditure
of effort. Some outside the State
chide us for buying Maine products
in preference to others. OF course
no State any more than a community
may live solely unto itself. 1t. how
ever, should inform itself concerning
its resources, know its products.
study their possibilities and seek to
attain those. Other States, if not
already doing this, will not hest
tate to do it because outsiders might
object

As Little Jack Rabbit was hopping
home from the Circus Elephants log
cabin. where he had spent the night,
as mentioned in the last story,
whom should he meet but Mrs. Bear.
Under her arm she carried big bas-
ket filled with honey jars. She was
on her way to the Three-in- One Cent
store in Rabbitville. Maybe L nave
forgotten to tell you, Little Reader,
that the Big Brown Bear had 20 bee
hives. Yes sir. All the bees i'll the
SUNNY Meadow worked for him.
MANY a time when the flowers from
which they gather the sweet juice
had faded, they would come up TO the
I,ollvpop Tree that grew close TO the
Big Brown Bears Cosy Cave House
to feast on the sweet lollypops..
az don't care if they eat few lolly-
pops." the kind old bear would say,
"a the bees buzzed and hummed
about his precious tree. They give
me more than half of all their honey.
MANY n dollar the Three-in- One Cent
store has paid me for the honey I've
sold"
"Hello. little Hipperty Hop" said
Mrs. Bear, on seeing the bunny BOY
I'm going to the store. Want 10
come along?'
OF course the little rabbit answered
yes, lust like that, quick as the VIVA
that blows off your hat, and the next
minute he and the kind lady bear
were hurrying down the winding
Trail through the Shady Forest,
which wasn't shady any more. NO.
stree. Trees have few leaves in NO
vember. But the little Furry coated
Forest Folk didn't care. The SOUR
rels and chipmunks had stored away
enough nuts to last them through the
cold winter. Chippy Chipmunk
store room down under the ground
was crammed full with nuts and ker-
nels of yellow corn. Oh, yes, he was
we'll supplied with food.
Squirrel Nutcracker's neat Ittie
bungalow in the hollow of the Big
Chestnut tree was, also well stocked.
Not only his bungalow, but many a
hollow in the ground was filled with
nuts and covered with leaves and
moss. -,
"Where's Mr.. Bear this morning.,
enquired the bunny boy, as he hoped
along. clipperty clip, lipperty lip, by
the side of the good lady bear.
When Mrs. Bear was in a hurry she
was a fast walker, and the little rab-
bit didn't want to lag behind, so he
hoped along at good pace.

cRlTIcislNG PUBLIC OWNER.
SHIP

1.-THE management Of a private
property operates it as efficiently
and economically as good business
methods will permit. The manage
ment Of public property operates
1t as economically and efficiently as
bad politicians will permit"
So, managing director Storrs OF
the American Electric Association
declares in a public address. There
seems to be no reason for doubling
whether he would be able to produce
the proof of his assertion.
He refers to the attempt Of the city
of Detroit to own and manage Its
street railways, promising an un-
limited ride for five cents and o
seat for every passenger, neither Of
which achievements have been at
tanned, and recently the city ir
order to meet its bills increased the
fare, while cars are crowded worse
than ever.
Another instance cited is that a
Seattle, where the people at
referendum voted four to one for city
ownership of the railway in 19ls
and are now employing 2,113 t.
transport 100000 persons where
| under the old regime 1885 employe:
were required for 90,o00,000 pas
sengers for the year. Moreover there
| is an annual loss of two and hal
million dollars because of increased
fares, also a loss in three quarters o.
! a million In taxes. Next.
