SI'AKti THE SKUNKS. Is the Immigrant a Peril? By CHARLES STELZLE Cnn "peril of tho immigrant" Is n fantasy of tho imagination. Wo nro sometimes overawed by tho fact that the natives of other lands are coming to us in such large numbers, but It Is Interesting to note that tho pcrcentngo of foreign born living in tho United States nt nnv ouo time has not materially changed slnco lSOO. Following are some figure's: In 1S0O tho percentage of foreigners in tho United States was i;t.2 per cent: In 1870 I I 1 per cent; In 1SS0, 13.3 por cent; in 1S00, 14.S per cent: In 11)00, 13.7 per cent: in 1010, 14.7 per cent. Tho constant percentage, therefore, is about 14. It is significant that during some years more than half as many Immigrants re turned to tho fatherland as came to America. The labor market in America determines tho number of foreigners that come and go. so that Immigration is in n constant state of flux. The foreigner, therefore, not only takes care of himself by returning to his native Innd, where he can live more cheaply during a period of business depression, but he relieves tho labor market of a congestion which might result in great harm to the American worker. It has sometimes been declared with considerable feeling that tho immigrant comes hero merely for tho purpose of making what is to him a Hinnll fortuno and then OURCES OF IMMIGRATION. shows proportion from Germany.Great Britainalnpland.Scandanavia shows proportion from Austria -Hungary, Italy; Russia Residents of this valley are com aining. and with Just cause ac nt to which the trappers and iiners aro exterminating uie unKS in tnai sect on nt east.

But in the first place he baa honestly earned whatever he takes with him and has left more than its equivalent, and ho has a right to do with it as ho pleases. Hut what about the peril of tho Immigrant? Is thero none? Yes, but usually tho American Is responsible for it. The average foreigner will mako a good citizen if tho American will show him bow. Tho "peril" is in the American, a roreiguer not yet naturalized wrote to friends in tho father land: "America is a great country. They not only allow you to vote, but they pay you for voting." Who was responsible for this situation? It is tho children of tho foreigner who aro our greatest peril, and they have received their training in this country. The criminal classes are lnrirnlr from among these children of respectable, hardworking foreigners. Any movement which seeks to help these children should be heartily supported. After all, it resolves itself Into a question of neighborliness.

Tho editor of a Kansas rmner states that he borrowed a Winchester rme recently and started un the street to deliver tho weapon to its owner. The delinquent subscribers got it into their heads that he was on the warpath, and every nno hn met Insisted on naylnc what h him. One man wiped out a debt of ten years' standing. On his return to his oillce he found a load of hay. lu bushels of corn, 10 bushels of no- tatoes, a load of wood, and a barrel of turnips that had been brought in. All tho country editors aro now try- ng to borrow a friendly Winchester. According to Undo Abner. Nothing will oueer a feller milcknr than naming a nicklo clirar nftnr him. X wifo that looks neat nt thn breakfast tablo makes her hiiRhnmi think about her a whole lot during tho day. A feller who gits his nlctu with his hand up to his head, has al ways got a purty good opinion of himself. It begins to look as though Elmer Jones may propose to tho milliner again this season. Ho has already got threo orders for crayon portraits this month. Prosperity always makes Elmer sentimental. EARTH SLIDES AT CULEBRA. Engineers Lack Effective Method of Holding tho Earth. Earth slides in Culebra cut, on tho Panama canal, have amounted to 10,500,000 cubic yards since tho exca vation of the cut began. These slides represent not less than 20 per cent of tho total amount of earth and rock so far removod, and represent nt least half a year's work. The engineers; have found no absolutely effective moans to prevent tho slides. A proc ess of terracing tho banks has been found best. Excavation on tho canal during Au gust amounted to 2,4-13,353 cublic yards, or 100,074 cubic yards less than excavateu in July. Thero was ono inch more of rainfall during August, which helped to cause tho reduction. Concrete laying during August amount ed to 89,870 cublic ynrds, compared with 87.4S5 cubic yards in July. HKMKDY FOR HAY FEVER. Hay fever isn't bo bad when vou have tho prico and tho tlmo to spare for a trip to the White Mountains or other sanitarium whero tho hotels aro good; but somo of us have tho trouble without tho means of luxuri ous treatment. I offer a remedy for hay fever. cold in tho head, catarrh and kindred annoyances which many years ex perience has rendorod a standard in my home. Uoric or boric acid costs about 25 cents a pound. Dissolve enough for a saturated solution in water in a white glass bottle, say ono quart size, warm a tumblerful and snuff it up the noso and throat as often as you feel relief from it. It has no ir ritating or other bad offect, is sim ple, cheap and always effective. Try it and you will roneat. says ono who has tried tho relief. AUTOGRAPH POEM BY NOGl.

Tho verse translated into English reads: East and west, north and south, mine eyo hath seen; Mountains many and rivers swift mine oyo hath aeon; Glorious eprlns and summer fair, autumn's loaves, winter's snows, all theso mtoo eye hath seen; A year of battlo and more, Man and horse aro old, but my spirit ro- malnoth young.

While the City or Philadelphia, since tho creation of tho Department of Wharves, Docks and Ferries, in 1907, has appropriated moro than two and a half millions of dollars to the development of tho port and In Improving tho chnnnels of the Dela ware and Schuylkill rlvors, tho State of Pennsylvania In twice that length of timo hns contributed only about half that amount, though it is gener ally conceded that tho State at large would reap greater advantages from a highly developed seaport of Its own than Philadelphia Itself. The exact sum of Pennsylvania's appropriations for river and harbor improvements and port expansion in tho last ten years Is $1,450,000. nn average annual expenditure of $145, 000. A more definite conception of now reany small this figure Is can bo had by a consideration of tho to tal population of tho State. inest census returns, lust com pleted, give tho population of Penn sylvanla as 7,005,111. On this basis the river, harbor and port tnx has averaged 2 cents per capita per year lor ten years, a llguro now recog nized to havo been ridiculously small. As compared to this Philadelphia with a population of 1,549,000, has Imposed upon Itself for port improve ments in live years a per capita tax of more than $1.80, or, relatively, ninety times as much as has tho State itself. Pennsylvania's support and de velopment of Its own port shows even worse by comparison when it is con sidered that Philadelphia's expendi tures for that purpose havo been In spite of tho fact that tho municipal borrowing capacity is far below that of any of the other large American cities. During the same period that suc ceeding legislatures In this State have appropriated a total of only $1,450,000 for the many improve ments now so badly needed, tho Federal Government has expended more than $9,000,000 upon the deepening of tho Delaware River channel and upon other harbor Improvements. In other words, In a ten year per iod the country at large has given io pun projects at, or in the ap proach to, Philadelphia, about seven times as much as has the State of Pennsylvania itself. In Industrial and commercial de velopment, agricultural and other pursuits, Pennsylvania equals or sur passes any other tate in tho coun try. This statement, it would seem, is sufficient explanation for tho fact that, without exception, every for eign represenativo attending the Iri ternatlonal Waterways Congress, held In Philadelphia a few months ago, expressed himself as being shocked that so little attention has been given to tho development of Pennsylvania's port.
