Dixie vs. Canada New
Immigration Scheme
Washington, D. C-. June 23. ? The
speech of Hon. Joseph F.. Ransdoll.
of Louisiana, entitled "On to Dixie,"
delivered before' Coheres*. Juna 14,
Is now being put in -pamphlet form
for general distribution.
The reason for Its preparation is
the activity of the Canadian govern
ment In tempting American cltlzonj
sto try their fortunes In the far north
where the -short growing season
prevents more t&an one croiT a year.
Mr. Ranadell. as president of the .Na
tional Rivers and Harbors Congrow,
has beeir accustomed to consider na
tional questions and his explanation
of the national opportunity thiLiefcts
In the South Is authoritative.^-*
The speech, as delivered, is. sup
plemented with a number of valuable,
appendices, from various source^ to
sustain the urgost plea of M*. RAns
dell that our people who are unset
tled In their conditions should tint
Investigate the great Southern States
before turning to regions of lees na
tural resource. An \ appendix pre
pared by Richard rt: Bdmonds shows
in a statistical table, the progress of
the South In fifty years. Another
appendix that brings out many re
markable evidences af Southern
growth. Is that prepared- by the
Southern Com mere I at Congress.
Petroleum production, as shown in
this appendix, ia the roost startling
of all Increases. In 1876 the South
produced 120,000 barrels; in 1903.
74, 10C, 648. .
Lumber production In the South
era States in 1908 Is shown, by this
appendix, to have exceeded, for the
first time In history, the lumber pro
duction of all the other Statea In the
Union put together.
School expenditures, as analyzed
by the Southern Gommerolal Con
gress. are shown to have Increased
110,000,000 between the years 1907
and 1908. The total educational ex
pense in the Southern States for the
last montioned year was |62.0tr?
$69.
The Southward awing of comtrerce
is shown by the fact that between
1899 and l909^Mextcari border ports
increased 149 per cent. Oulf and
South Atlantic ports together 217
per -cent, pacific ports 87 per c_e:it,
North Atlantic ports 69 l>er cent. Ex
port gains of the same period show
Mexican border ports 71 per cent,
Oulf and South Atlantic porta to
gether 51 per cent, Pacific ports 24
per cent. North Atlantic -porta l i per
cent.
The speech and Its 'appenl'ces
should .lie considered by erery man
in the United States who la inter uted
In understanding the relation of the

? New York, June 24. ? Many girls
and hoys at their classee In Braamur
Hall High School, Brooklyn, yester
day witnessed an accident that prob
ably wiU cost the U*es or two men.
Michael Walsh, aged 69. a carpen
teV, working on a scaffold: 40 feet
above the ground, fell upon the head
of Pilendo LAgorra. aged 29. a fel

Where It la said nslthet has a cha-ice

Walsh was at. work on the new
building In cou ne of construction on
Flatbush avenue, within sight of the
class rooms, when the rope at one
end of the pUtform broke, preclliltai
tng him to the ground. Pupils rush

W11TR . J^TtOU N\ AUMII.
It Is rather surprising to learn
from official estimates that , in 1910
South Carolina's crops of cotton,
corn, wheat, oats, barloy. rye, buck
wheat', flaxseed, rice, protatoes, hay
md tobacco aggregated more than
North Carolina's, although North
Carolina led Virginia by not far from
fifty per cent and Tennessee by n
fair margin, in 1899 the two States
stood: North Carolina. $53,214,000:
South Carolina, $51,324,000. In
^1909 the standing was: South Caro
lina, $109,013,000; North* Carolina,
$103,148,000. South Carolina has
an area considerably !e8s than three
fl'fths a? large as North Carolina's
land a population little more than
two-thirds as large. Moreover^ of
South Carolina's population nearly [
Ithree-fllfths are negroes, while North
Carolina's negro population is in the
proportion of slightly less than one-^
third. To be sure, North Carolina
has much larger areas of mountain
and coast land which have not "yet
been made productive, but, after all
allowances. South Carolina's record
remains the better. it behooves
North Carolina farmers to catch the,
pace which south Carolina Is setting.

WHY LIVING
COMES HIGH
W. c. Brown, of the New York Con
tral Ummm, Bsttoves tm the Work of
Improved A|rlc>ltBiT.
St. Paul, Hlnn., June 11.' Speak
U| on the "high cost of living, ' be
fore the Minnesota Bankers' Associa
tion today. President W. C Brown,
of the New York Central Uaes. quot
ed statistics to show the Increase In
the cost of all products of the farm,
factory and mines, and then said In
part:
"Economists agree that ?a the ba
sic metal (fold) lncr In Quan
tity, the price of everything meas
ured by and paid for with that metal
Invariably enhanced In value.
"For this reason the pay of labor
has steadily advanced and must con
tinue to advance In some fair ratio
With the Increased cost of thtagi that
labbr must buy. To put It another
way, wages must go up In about the
same proportion that the purchasing
power of the money of the lsborer
goes down."
After discussing the increase in
gold production the speaker said:
"Unquestionably this great Increase
|ln the production or gold has power
fully influenced the vslues of every
thing in which men desl.
"Everything save wsges, railroad
rates and fixed Incomes from long
time securities, continuously and ?T
moflt colncldently adjust themselves
to the changing conditions resultant
upon this Influx of gold."
Mr. Brown then spoke of "the
alarming rapidity with which the'
consumption of the products of the,
nation's farms is overtaking produc
tion." and continued:
"When the day comes that this na
tion falls to produce sufficient food toJ
supply our own people, when we no
longer send the products of our
farms abroad,' bringing back the gold
froton foreign nations ? what will be
the cost of .living In this country,
pnd where will the money come from
to meet the cost?
"1 am In favor of an adequate
navy, hut I wish the money expended
in building just one battleship could
be devoted to this work of Improved,
Intelligent agriculture.
"What one battleship costs would
establish two splendid agricultural
experiment or demonstration forms
In every State-in the Union and 1 will
guarantee If this is done and the
work Intelligently and energetically
carried out, that ps a result of it, the
value of the increased: product of the

IIOOHKVKI/T QUITS POLITIC.*.
| Declares He May Never Make Anoth
er Political Speed*? Still Roceiv
I Inn Old Friendw? Guest of l lie
Harvard Club.
j New York. June 23. ? "I don't
know that I shall ever make another
! political spe^ph." said Theodore
I Roosevelt today.
The colonel had just popped out
of his editorial office late In the af
ternoon, his collar wilted with per
spiration and hiB face red from the
heat. He saw a group of Interview
ers and stopped. They told him that
his first' politicad utterance was
awaited with the greatest lnter?*sc ?
and when, please, would he make it.
"I have no Idea when I shall make
a political speech," he replied. "1
shall make no speech of any kind for
two months, and my first speeches In
Kansas City, Chepenne, Milwaukee
and Chicago, wftl have nothing to do
with politics. I don't know that I
shall ever make another political
jpeech."? __
"What, never?" some one ex
claimed.
"I don't say 'never'," he corrected.
"I simply don't know."
But speeches or no speeches con
ferences will continue. Gifford Pln
chot and James W. Garfield, ex-Sec
retary of the Interior, will go to Oys
ter Bay tonight to spend the night.
Two or three of the Rough Riders
will be the colonel's guests at lunch
eon tomorrow. They will return two'
regimental fiagB which Col. Roose
velt loaned them for use in the re
union today.
Mr. Roosevelt did not reach hlg
editorial office until 10:38 o'clock.
The place was boiling all day long.
Interviewers, photographers, old
friends and people bent on evpry sort
of mission beselged 1L At 1 o'clock
the colonel left bis offices for the
Harvard Club where , there was two
hours ot yarn spinning across the
luncehon table. . As he entered the
dining soon, the orchestra struck up
"What's- -the Matter With rather"
and every t.ough Rider, standing In
his chair, joined In the chorus.
Just as he was leaving the club
the police raided a group of boys who
had clambered up the fire escapes .to
look at "Teddy." but Col. Roosevelt
interceded and no arrests were made.
Among the guests at theTuncheon
were Wa. a. learned and Robert D.
Wrenn, former .tennis champions;
"Dave" Goodrich, ""Harvard's '18, the
oarsman and rough rider, John C.

RUSSIA UNO JAPAN UNITE TO RULE
r . \
War's Scan Are Healed, and Czar aad Mikado Bind
Themselves to Walk Hand In Hand in Far East
Under the Guidance of Uncle Sam.
Washington. Jun? t4. ? After fif
t??n T*r? of bitter anugooltm,
which finally culminated to a bloody
war, followed since by more or ^ua
dissatisfaction over their hold^H
there, Ruaala and Japan hare
by means of a binding treaty to jBp
hands and Interest In Chlaa. The
treaty la to go Into effect as soon as
signed In duplleate.
This action on their part, which
was ratified today In detail at St.
Petersbarg. Is to guarantee the sta
tus quo In the Par Bast State De
partment officials are highly elated
over It.
No foreign powers are concerned
In this Russo-Japanese agreement,
which affects only the contracting
parties, although nothing In the
treaty prevents any other nation
from co-operating with the two em
pires In extending the Influence of
the same Oriental policy.
Masctmrlts Rail* ays.
The question of Manchurlan rail
ways comes In as the most Important
article. This was agroed to today In
detail, showing that the neutralisa
tion of their noldlngs can be effected
at some early daie after due diplo
matic exchange.
The Inclusion of this provision Is
an echo of the proposal of Secretary
of State Knox to neutralise the Man
churlan railroads, although Russia
and Japan In their treaty go a step
farther, " ,
Russia agrees to consider favor
ably the neutralisation of all the
Chinese railway lines, whether own
ed by- China or private corporations,
Chinese or foreign, subjecting them
to sheriff regulations In times of war.
limiting their use by the belligerents
?ad^deflnlng their movements.
\ The treaty itaelf Is an intensive
document, which permit*- no ambigu
ous Interpretation.
The general contents or the treaty
Otherwise are as was exclusively pub
lished by the World June 10: Pro
viding that Russian and Japanese
cooperation In sny future undertak
ing in China; the consideration of
the United States as a friendly pow
er; that differences between the .two
empires shsll be submitted to the
United States for arbitration; that
Japan dooms China's commercial and
financial exploitation by foreign cap
italists a good thing; that they have
no lptcntlon of retaining their Man
cCYmhn i&Hways; that, {ill disputu*
arising in their diplomatic exThariipe'
about China shall be deferred for
later consideration without endang
ering pending matters; that the pro
mulgation of the Chinese consitution
Is agreeable; that any sale of the
real or assumed holdings of the rail
ways In China shsll not affect China's
coincidental sovereignty over thorn;
that the Portsmouth peace treaty Ih
supplemental to this later treaty and
Anally, that Japan and Russia pledge
their friendship.
Xcwn Surprise*! Washington.
The incidental publication of these
articles occasioned no little surprise
in Washington, and ut the State De
partment thorn has been a feeling
of uncertainty because the Porta
mouth treaty of 1905, agreed to un
der the eyes of President Roosevelt,
who made it possible, Is to be abrd
gated.
Secretary Knox, on the contrary,
has been unusually pleased because
of this provision. He has gone on
record several times as saying that
the treaty was not as satisfactory as
was expected or might be wlahed.
Even -HUice it wss drawn Russia and
Japan have contested many points in
their respective attitudes in China.
Japan objected strongly to the forti
fying of the Northern Manchurlan
railwaya and roads, considered im
portant by Russia for military rea
sons, while Russia had similar ob
jection to the Jspsnese mobilisation
of troops within the boundaries of
the Southern part of the province of
Manchuria.
Russia's motive for neutralising
the entire Chinese system of rail
roads Is due to the confidence that
such a step would be agreeable to
Japan bls well as to the United States.
