It hag been predicted that the year 2909 would be a high tlde year for immigration, and the present arrivals indicate that the aliens have beheld the sign of coming prosperity for they @re coming in large numbers. Of a recent day seventeen ships carrying 6,000 fmmigrants, arrived in New York, showing that they are anticipat- ing employment. The immigrants are well posted on abor conditions throughout the world d their coming to the, United States at this time is proof that they have mssurance of employment In the va- rious industries. The industrial army moves only when it has work in sight and has become so mobile In later yoars that it responds promptly to the first demand for raw labor. The turn of the tide indicates that this country is entering upon ‘another cycle of prosperity. From the time of thé panic to Jan- uary 1, 1909, nearly one milllon aliens had left this country, but the prospects are that the close of the present year will see them all back again, ‘THE NECESSITY FOR TWO GREAT FLEETS. The president has called the atten- tlon of the country tothe fact that this s & two-coast country and that the Pacific coast 1s 2,000 miles greater in length than the Atlantic, and it goes without decreeing it that a powerful naval fleet is needed In the Pacific as well as In the Atlantic and there is no doubt that the future policy of the government Is to kecp an able fleet on both seas. Sinoe the Pacific fleet salled four- teen months ago there have been sev- eral battleships put into commission, and there are others In the works. The Nebraska and Wisconsin took the places of the Iliinols and Alabama in the fieet, and the New Hampshire. Iahe, Mississippi, Michigan ana @outh Carolina, which are $-gun Dreadnaughts, will be ready for serv- 108 by October mext; and in the next tWo years the North Dakota and Del- aware and the Florida and Utah will B8 put Into commission, There are constantly ar, tlons the world over th the presence of American ships of WAr.

It is now claimed that the German nventors have designed a shell which will carry an illuminant and make unflecessary the use of the electric searchlight which locates the search- er as wel] as his foe, This German shell carries a charge of calclum carbide, and s thrown from @ specially constructed gun to the close vicinity of the ship: and wher < It drops into the water the combina- tion of carblde with water forms acetylene gas, which 1s arranged to burn with great brilliancy. With two or three of these 3,000- candle power lights ablaze in its vi- elnity the ghip to be attacked will be at tremendous disadvantage.

Captain Diamond of Oakland, Cal, who will be 114 years old in May, got.marked signs of old age at 65, and by attention to his dlet and habifs overcame them and prom- ises yet to live for years, Louis Cor- naro, a Venetian of noble birth, had completely wrecked his constitution by riotous living and intemperance when he was forty and was warned that only the greatest care of his dlet could prolong his days. He drop- ped meat, adopted a simple diet, never allowing himselt over 12 opnces of food a day, and lived to be 104. A large per cent. of the centenarians were feeble in youth, and none of them practice excesses of any kind. Thelr temperance in all things, their self- control and abstemiousness, have more to do with long life than a strong con- stitution. Persong who know their weaknesses harbor their strength. THE LOBBY. | The announcement that there is no visible lobby at Hartford should not be accepted as evidence that there i no lobby there, The lobbyist is just as natural to a legislature as a flea Is to a dog, and he Is classed with the parasites and is often referred to by impolite reformers and editors as ver- min, , The lobbylst appears to be popular only with a single class of legislators and by everyone else he is suspected and whacked and legislated against, but after twenty years of experimen- tation it is becoming recognized that he cannot be eliminated by law, un- less the law carrles with it some de- grading or identifying provision. Killing the lobby does not seem to be much more successful than killing time and it is quite as constant. The Missour! legislature has a Dill before it which would compel lobbyists to vear a uniform ltke a bell boy or & Ivation Army worker, that he may be known on sight and the legislators be known by the company that they keep. A Texas legislator is reported to have introduced a bill which provides that all lobbyists shall carty whistles which they must blow to announce their presence in hotel corridors or places fa which the law makers or joiter, as a means of making an end of them; but you cannot make a lobbylst whistle by law any more than you can make g man sing by law or pray by law. The lobbyist doesn’t mind—tha third house is a power unto itself. It has no speaker, no stated salary, no proud leader, but it somehow forces through aws and unmakes unsusceptible mem- bers of the regular house. It recog- nizes the necessity for anti-lobby laws and never expects itself to be made a recognizable body EDITORIAL NOTES.

An opinionated man annoys some people, but he never disturbs me. The man among men is the one who knows how little he really knows or ever can know.

We do not know what is going on in the rooms and celiars and attics where the aged and the solitaries sit and walt—. we cannot see those hearts which hold the pictures of memory, the loving words, the undying faith, the hope which is ever radiant, or the doubts and the fears and the ogres which haunt those who have questioned and doubted; and it is well we cannot.

The natural boy is he true boy, and he is a delight to most everybody except the unnatural man. Men who delight in correcting smali boys never Iimpress a kid with their own politeness.

How fair are our judgments, and especially of those people who are unlike ourselves temperamentally, who seem to us funny or “freaky?’ It might help on the ora of good will and peace among men if we selected out certain types and studied them at close range with a view o finding out what other Kinds of -~eople stand for, end what they really contribute to the common welfare. Here is the conservative, for ex- ample. He has always been with us, and a mighty good brakeman he is. We run up against him in the church, the school, the state, in business and in society. He is always saying: “We never did it this way before,” or she— for the conservative is sometimes a woman—doesn't want a revised editlon of the Bible, but says that the Bible | St. Paul used ig good enough for her.

Juet now tha tides are runnlnfi away from conservatism and the arift in pol. itics and Industria] activity is toward new experiments and new policles, The radical journa: and the radical agitator get a hearing and often nobody seems to care to listen to the man who stands simply for things as they are. These who say “Go elow, you are mak- ing a mistake, you are taking a tre- mendous risk,” are looked upon as old fogles, and some of them are made thereby bitter end prssimistic. Many a time a minister, a pubkic school offi- olal finds himself a kind of break- water between oonservatives and pro- gressives. But let us who would hold our im- petuous brother back be just.
