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

the first place he baa honestly earned whatever he takes with him and has left

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. How would you

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

with 87.4S5 cubic yards in July.

PENNSYLVANIA'S SEAPORT
FACILITIES
Federal Government Appi-oprlnted
Seven Times As Much ns State.
Philadelphia, Sept. IS.
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.
