Cal., April 15. Interests which have boosted immi gration to the skies and have de clared that through it California will le made the garden spot of the world were given a terrific jar today by "Walter MacArthur of the San Fran cisco labor council when he, in a speech before the immigration con gress here, analyzed the situation aiid attempted to prove that a wave of immigration under present condi tions will smother the state rather than make for a wholesome prosper ity. "Until we have the resources of our state thrown open bo that every foreigner invited to these shores be given an opportunity to make a de cent living we had better go slow," said the speaker. "It Is all well enough to receive them in good spir it and to teach them to F.alute the flag, to sing patriotic songs and to do such things. The great thing, however, is to see that each person who comes in gets a plentiful supply of bread and butter. If they are given an opportunity to work and earn a good living they will fall Into the spirit of America and become thorough citizens. They will sing patriotic songs of their own initia tive.

Since last August not a hog has been imported into this state. This is the encouraging news made public the past week by C. C. Colt, head of the Union Meat Company, Portland, who Bays Oregon farmers are going extensively into the business of live stock raising. During 1911 more than half the total number of hogs received at the Portland market came from Nebraska. Last year this number decreased to a remarkable extent and now it appears that Ore gon will not need to import any more pork in order to feed Its own people. On the other hand, we may soon be in position to make substan tial shipments outside the state. Mr Colt submitted figures showing that the livestock industry in Oregon is five times greater than fruit grow ing and greater than wheat, wool and dairy products combined. don't think so. It is th.j boast of one concern in California that its cow-punchers can start a herd of cat tle at the Mexican border and drive i them to British Columbia, camping every night on the concern's land. Why is this land held? It is held for speculative purposes, end until this concern and others like it are forced to let go of their lan.d we jmust limit the immigration here as much as possible. "Of late, many American farmers have been migrating to Canada. Why? Because the land laws there make it possible for them to make a better living. The farmers who are fcoing and who have gone are the sturdiest of Americans. It should be oud first function to amelioraate the conditions which aro driving them away. After that let us think of inviting the immigrant. Before any other phasj is considered we must think of bread and butter. To Invite immigrants in by the thou sands is to aggravate the condition that makes willing workers more plentiful than jobs. To aggravate this condition is to promote unrest."

Rich Nw Yorker Who May Be AmbatsadorMo Austria. ORIGIN' OF RANKING HOUSE. How J. Pierpont Morgan's Father Entered Financial Field. New York, April 14. By an odd coincidence the day appointed for the funeral of J. Pierpont Morgan happens to be the centennial anni versary of the birth of his father. Junius Spencer Morgan, father of the late financier, was born one hun dred years ago today in West Spring field, Mass. He was the real found er of the great financial house of Morgan. When he was a young man his father set him up in business in Hartford at an expense of $50,000. The mercantile venture was such a success that in a few years he was able to dispose of his interest for $300,000. With that sum he re moved to Boston and embarked in a fresh enterprise of a similar charac ter. When he was ready to make another turn he sold out his inter est for $600,000 and went to Lon don, becoming a partner of George Peabody, the famous American bank er and philanthropist. In 1870 Junius S. Morgan launch edinto the great new kind of enter prise which has ever since distin guished the Morgan firm. In Octo ber of that year the city of London was stirred by the news that J S. Morgan & Co. had taken a French loan of 250,000,000 francs ($50, 000,000). It was the first syndicate operation in the world of finance and one of the largest and boldest ever known. Within the two preced ing months the Germans had crushed the French army at Sedan, besieged Paris and taken the emperor prison er. The French were clearly doomed to defeat. The only authority for the loan was a provisional govern ment at Tours. Taking 2."0,000,000 francs' worth of bonds under such circumstances involved great risks. In three months the war was over. In a year the securities had ad vanced 15 points above what they had cost Morgan, and the syndicate was believed to have clearel $5,000,- 000 by the transaction. The former Boston dry goods merchant took his place in the world, second only to the Rothschilds in the greatest financial operations of thaf. time the - financing of great government loans and held it throughout the '70s. Junius S. Morgan died at Monaco, April 8, 1890, leaving his son, J. Pierpont Morgan, a fortune In excess of $10,000,000. : Favors Literary Cremation. Glasgow, April 5. In referring to Lord Roseberry's suggestion of a lit erary crematorium for the enormous amount of dead books in the world, the Rev. L. L. McLean Watt told the members of the Edinburg Stationers' and Booksellers' National Union, at their conversazione the other night, of the gentleman who had a fine row on his bookshelf of old com mentaries on law, and who during the coal strike used them as fuel. He would be sitting up rather late of the night, and, with a pile of these commentaries at his feet, he Just stretched out his hand and threw another on the flames. Be ing crisp and dry they burned well, and in the process caused more noise than they had ever made before. Found a Cure for Rheumatism. "I suffered with rheumatism for two years and could not get my'right hand to my mouth for that length of time," writes Lee L. Chapman, Ma pleton, Iowa. "I suffered terrible pain so I could not Bleep or lie still at night Five years ago I began using Chamberlain's Liniment and in two months I was well and have not suffered with rheumatism since."

"Ideas often come to you that up lift you greatly for a time. The way to make them permanent is to .take hold of them by forming them" Into words and repeating the words until your subconscious self receives them and begins to build with them. "For instance, a friend who had very set opinions about right and wrong allowed herself to get very much wrought up when things about her went on in a way that to her seemed wrong. She tried to practice self-control, but never gained the victory as she desired until one day when the thought came to her that it was far more important to demon strate self-control than it was to have everything go on about her as she thought it should. "She did not want the idea to get away from her, so she wrote it down like this: 'It is not bo important that things go as I think they should as It is that I should be master of them through self-control.' Then she repeated this again and again and held it in the 6llenc3 until the words bacame substance In her and gave her mind a firm ho.d bo that in the next temptation to give way to her feelings, she easily gained the victory. You can apply this In any kind of experience you may have." Unity. If you are working among people I whose manners and habits jar "upon you, apply this rule and watch devel opments. Once you control yourself you will be surprised to. find how many things which annoy you will change or disappear. Just so long as you are a servant to your own irritable rerves and whims, you will find the world Is one succession of sharp corners against which you brulsa yourself at every move. When you become master of yourself the corners will round into curves, Imperceptibly but surely. The same rule applies in your home. What attitude are you taking to ward your own family and relatives and friends and toward humanity? Are you posing as a martyr? Do you wear the resigned expression of a wronged creature "who must sub mit to persecution, or a sullen, re sentful one, or a belligerent one? Are you thinking and brooding over your wrongs and making your self and others miserable in conse quence? If you are doing any one of these things you are a criminal far worse than many a convict behind prison bars. If you are disturbing the peace of your household, the comfort of husband, or children, or relatives, or friends by your temper, your complaints or your sarcasm, then you are a murderess. It is a more unpardonable crime than many committed by people who are con demned by judge and jurv, no mat ter how high your standing in church or community. Perhaps you are a wronged, mis used wife, and think your troubles have destroyed your nervous, system and that you cannot help being irri table and cross and saying unpleas ant things at times. I tell you in reply that the most adorable, agreeable and angelic woman I ever knew was a wronged vife, a " woman who had suffered every indignity possible from a mean, brutal-natured man. Yet she made a heaven for her children and friends in her home. She had learned this great law of becoming master of circumstances through self-control. Although things about her were not to her liking, she mall all these things seem as trifles before her calm self-conqueBt. She said to her self, "Though my best love and my best faith and my sweetest hopes have been thrown into tho dust, I will not let myself go down. "I have lost respect for the man to whom I gave my life's happiness, but I will not lose respect for my self, and I will show the world I can create happiness' even if I can not find it where I hoped it would be, in my marital life." Surely this was better than becom ing soured, aggressive, complaining and pessimistic, and making her presence dreaded by all her associ ates. There was a great French writer who said: "If you have not what you like, like what you have." But even if you cannot like your environment, you can make yourself a master of it, and refuse absolutely to be dominated by it. You can grow and 'rise about It, and after a time, if you do this, the Good Work Done Promptly AT THE Rough Dry at Reasonable J. N. NISBET, Mar.
