cold enough to invigorate the

approaching conference.
The problem of immigration is
the problem of distributing the
immigrant. It is the congestion
of alien populations in the large
cities of the Atlantic seaboard
and in the interior which has
given ris6 to mo3t of the evils of
which complaint is heard. The
European peasant at home is
hardworking, healthy, law abid-
ing, home loving, and in eveiy
way a desirable citizen. Brought
to the United States, however,
together in narrow quarters on
the upper floors of some tene-
ment house or herded in con-
tractors’ shanties, he speedily
takes on a character which is in
every way undesirable. His
children show the effect of their
unwholesome environment and
often grow up anaemic and dis-
eased. His sons take to the
streets and recruit the criminals
of our large cities. He is ignor-
ant of political rights and he re-
gards his vote as a marketable
commodity. A stranger in a
strange land, taken from the
occupations and from the envi-
ronment to which his ancestors
for generations have been accus-
tomed, he is preyed upon by a
variety of unwholesome influ-
ences and as a result the immi-
gration problem soon merges into
that long train of evils springing
generally from dependent, de-
fective and delinquent social
uoits.
The solution of the broad im-
migration problem depends upon
the devising and execution of
plans for deflecting and distrib-
uting the current of immigration
throughout the West and South
where labor is needed, and where
the patient thoroughness of the
European peasant can reap a
rich reward from his frugal and
industrious habits. To the solu-
tion of this problem along the
lines indicated, the discussion at
the approaching conference will
be devoted. It is useless and un-
wise to propose plans for serious-
ly restricting the volume of im-
migration. The immigrant is
with us in numbers, and so long
as a sufficient disparity between
the economic conditions of the
United States and Europe con-
tinue to attract him, he will con-
tinue to come to this country.
The immigrant, moreover, is bad-
ly needed. He is capable of

forces which at present tend to
congest immigration in the Unit-

GOOD ROADS.
Put the Convict3 to Building
Them.
Dallas News: The News be-
lieves that the practical solution
of the good roads problem and
of the convict labor question is
to be found in the employment
of the convicts on the public
roads. Other plans may help and
other means may be employed,
but in the end this and that will
be put together in a practical and
sensible way, and the result will
be a regular and reliable system
of roadmaking by convict labor.
The issue was a telling one in
the Ohio campaign, and argu-
ment in favor of this plan up
there is good argument in favor
of it in Texas. Like Ohio, Tex-
as needs good roads. It is also
confronted by the labor problem.
It is possible and easy to provide
the roads by the use of convict
labor. It i3 argued that while
the employment of convicts in
building public highways might
have been attended with more or
le33 cruelty in the States where
it has been practiced, this cruel-
ty would be impossible in Ohio.
There the men, working in the
Lord, O my soul; srd all that is
within me, bless hie holy name.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not ail his benefits.”
The above lesson come3 to us
this morning with great vivid-
ness. When we look out on our
beautiful world, filled to ove -
flowing with all the rich blessings
of our Creator, and loving heav-
enly Father, how can we forget
all his benefits? In the beginning
our heavenly Father fitted up this
earth for our abode; laid the
foundations thereof and set a
bound to the mighty ocean that
it cannot pass. He has beautified
this earthly abode of ours with
everything that is delightful to
the eye; hills, mountains, valleys,
j I thank God this morning for that
spirit of freedom, and thirst for
liberty that actuated our forefa-
thers, and has ev r been our guid-
ing star to the ; reat and grand
achievements o our nation. I
thank God for th ,t 13 day of May
of 1607, the day of planting the
first colony at Jamestown, Vir-
ginia. Also, for that 11 day of
December of 1620, the day the
Pilgrim Fathers landed at Ply-
mouth Rock, Mass. Think of it,
they had been driven by persecu-
tion from their own land, their
home and firesides to seek free-
dom. They first sailed to Holland,
and thence they turned their eyet
to the unbroken forests of Amer-
ica. Their purpose was to find a
country where they might have a
spiritual religion and worship God
unmolested, and free from all the
forms of men’s device. Such a
roically to their present pinacle
of fame, and today Texas stands
out as the inviting paradise of
our Union. Thank God for Texas.
One step nearer home and come
to Jack county. What has Jack
county to be proud of, and to
thank God for? Look out over
our broad fields of fertile lands,
rich with an abundant harvest.
See the large ears of corn and
fields of white cotton, see the
beautiful orchards of rich fruit,
think of the broad pastures and
the thousands of cattle, horses,
hogs, sheep and goats, that are
feeding on them. Who has bless-
ed us with all these things? God.
Think of it, in this beautiful land
where today we are enjoying all
these great blessings, and this
rivulets, lakes and the mighty country they found in this blessed
ocean. He has filled the waters
with fish, the air with fowls and
the earth with bread that
America of ours. I thank God
for that blessed and always to be
remembered 4 cf July, 1776, the
the moon for our lights and sea-
sons and they know their courses
and goings down. But best of
all, David said of us poor sinful
creatures, that God, it was who
forgiveth all our ^iniquities, and
healeth all our diseases. Who
redeemeth our lives from destruc-
tion, and has crowned us with

no tria’s the people could not ob
serve and the life would be much
more desired than confinement
in the penitentiary at Columbus.
There work is under the con-
tract system, and at times the
idle house has been filled for
months, many convicts losing
their minds as the result
of enforced inactivity. If
they were transferred to the
road3 under the supervision of
skilled builders, it would not be
long-until the State possessed a
system of roads second to none.
So strong has the sentiment be-
come in some sections that can-
didates for the legislature have
been forced to declare for the
system. That the state roads

Then my fellow men, let us on

forget all these benefits and
blessings which he has so abun-
dantly bestowed upon us. But
our coming together this morn-
ing is in response to a national in-
vitation of a thanksgiving nature,
or rather gathering together on
this day, is for the purpose of a
universal thanksgiving. I would
not be understood to mean that
this day of national appointment
is the only day on which we should
give thanks. No, indeed, we
should render thanks to God ev-
ery day that we live on this beau-
tiful earth for all the great bless-

enjoy from his bountiful hand.

This argument i3 repeated by
the Pittsburg Dispatch as a prop-
er argument for even the Key-
stone State, .in which the roads
are exceptionally good. It is
even more appropriate in Texas,
where many roads are impassa-
ble in very muddy weather.
While material of the right sort
is scarce or far to seek, the main
item of expense in roadmaking is
the cost of labor. On the other
hand a main item in our public
expenditures as a State is the
cost of maintaining jail birds and
convicts. Why not cut down
both items by employing the con-
victs in roadmaking, thu3 remov-
ing them from any line of work
in which they compete with free
labor?
This is not all, as the Ohio ar-
gument shows. The health of
the convict will be benefited by
the open air work on the road
where the public will see to it
that he is treated humanely.

The Exodus of Irish Youth.
Review of Reviews: It is
largely as a result of the unpre-
cedented loss of half its popula-
lation in half a century that the
present condition of rural
Ireland is so interesting a study.
The depopulation of Ireland has
largely changed the life of the
people, and the Ireland of sixty
years ago.
Owing to lack of labor, the
former intensive cultivation of
the soil has ceased. Tillage has
been superseded by pasturage.
Thousands of acres that in for-
mer years were teeming with la-
borers planting and working po-
tatoes and turnips, and harvest-
ing wheat and oats, are now turn-
ed out in grass, and the song of
the laborers and the whetting of
scythes have been hushed, and
in their place can be heard the
lowing of cattle and the tinkling
of sheep bells.
In all parts of the middle, south
and west of Ireland one sees evi
dences of this remarkable change
—more remarkable since the
signs of former possession and
cultivation are still so evident.
For sixty years the young and
vigorous farm hands have been
dropping the hoe and spade and
emigrating to America, leaving
behind them to attempt their
work their infirm old parents and
their little brothers and sisters.
The children dream through their
boyhood and girlhood of the time
when they in turn can go down
to Queenstown and sail on the
big ship for New York or Boston,
Whole villages have thus been
robbed of their young people,
and vast country sections that
once teemed with vigorous farm
laborers now contain but a hand-
ful of men who are really capa-
ble of hard labor. Indeed, one of
the most striking, and at the
same time most melancholy,
sights in rural Ireland today is
the unusually large number of
despondent-looking old men and
women who mope absent-mind-
edly about the roadways of the
country side or the alleys of the
hundreds of semi-deserted vil-
lages. Their sons and daughters
have grown up and gone to seek
their fortunes in the West. Not
one in a hundred of them will ev-
er return to hoe and spade the
rocky old Irish fields again.
