In the last election eight States (including New York and Illinois), with an aggregate popu- jation of more than 30,000,000, voted on Pro- hibition, and the wets won in the combined vote by nearly three to one. And the wet majorities were confined to the big cities, In New York City the majority for the wets was $50,000 while “‘up-State” there was a wet majority of 550,000, a total in the State of 1,400,000, In Chicago the wet majority was 414,000 and in the rest of Illinois 139,000, { a total of 553,000. In both States the majority " of the women voted wet as well as the majority| _of the men. 3 1t is worth while to note in this connection that Canada, Norway, Sweden, Turkey and other | countries that have tried Prohibition have aband- , oned it. Every Canadian Province bordering on the United States is wet. No, friend, the people are being heard from CANADIAN IMMIGRATION. During the year ended June 30 about 540,- . 000 immigrants arrived In the United States “and about 250,000 left the country, showing a ~ net gain of 290,000. Of these immigrants about 81,000 came from Canada and about 20,000 of those leaving the country went (o Canada. " This shows that the American gain in popula- from Canada was larger than our gain from any other country. Mexico contributed| \bout 60,000 immigrants, making her the second 1 population donor. * These figures have led to agitation in favor applying the immigration quota to Canada d Mexico. The desire in certain sections of the try for the restriction of Mexican immigra- is probably, in part, responsible for the t to include Canada among the quota . ’gdut it would offend Mexico if to make the restriction genecral, s hope that the United States will not put “bars on Canadian or Mexi- at| It would be particularly not o A7 the irregularity ! the « :Americans and n re praetically ont and economically.

One of the inmates is asking a fisherman: “Aren’t you the side of the wall, mister (Vangzouver, The true rather A the salmon youngsters is 50-pound Rive: 't pring before for ! the a k 18 hers There t the 26 fishi wrong Achievement. dbergh’ (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Colonel Lindbergh has accomplished a p 3 cver greater feat than was his dramatic flight across the Atlantic. This week he concluded his tour of 48 States under the auspices of the Dan- jel Guggenheim Fund for the Prombtion of Aeronautics. Phis tour was undertaken to encourage popu- interest in aeronautics, particularly in the mail service. The odyssey discloses some remarkable and gratifying facts. Studyin them, one vagtly encouraged in his faith for the future of pra tical flying. During the three months since Colonel Lind- bergh left New York City, he covered 22,350 “ai line miles with a flying time of 260 hours, visit- cities, in 13 of which he made only “touch ing 82 stops.” On the trip Colonel Lindbergh was accompan- jed by a Department of Commerce plane, carrying representatives of the ,department and of the fund, Bach of the planes performed perfectly. There were no overhauls, no forced landings, no delays becuse of mechanical difficuties. Nearly ten times the distance across the At- lantic was covered without flaw in mechanism or inefficiency of control. This remarkable continental traverse seems reasonably to prove that, with proper equipment and the exercise of ordinary care by skilled pilots, fiying by plane should be as safe as travel in an automobile or by railway train. It suggests, also, that the lamentable tragedies of the past few months in connection with tramsoceanic flights perhaps need not have happened, had proper preparation been made. Accidents in the United States mail service are few and far between. There is no stunt flying ! done in the service, the planes used are of the! hest and the men who pilot them are tried veterans of the air. A"Suggestod Holiday. (New York World.) Gov. Smith has authorized October 27 as Roosevelt Day, in honor of the father of the present bearer of that name. Also the Governor approves of a State Apple WeeK, which is to |‘e obgerved from October 29 to November 5. It would seem to follow that he might, combining the best features of both, set aside a day for the young Mr. Roosvelt to be called Applesauce Day, to be observed on, say, April lIst. | A long-legged ‘sheep in the Himalaysas is able 1o run forty miles an hour.
