FUNERAL FLOWERS T HE UNITED HEBREW CHARI TIES of New York are trying to divert some expenditure on 'fliiAfnl "Aramnnlai r Ik. .ha. eor-of the poor. This Institution Is urging, we read, the families and friends of deceased persons to put a stop to, or at least to materially .'limit the practice of sending flow ers to funerals at great cost, and to use the money so saved for char- Itable purposes. These directors think that so a much more lasting , memorial to the 1 jved ones who have passed away would be provided than by sending the costly wreaths and floral decorations which, literally, . perish in the using. - The present custom Is of univer sal observance over the whole coun- try, and the movement for Its llmlta jtlon would have to be extensively ; accepted to do much good. But It ' would add largely to the charitable .funds, the need for which Is ever growing. ' , These tributes, however, to the ' memory of the lost one, prompted by the affection and respect of surviv ing friends, carry too much solace - .to the relatives to be suppressed.

Of tbe cheap labor class over 700,- 000 Immigrants are work pig In our coal, copper and Iron mines. In the stoel and iron Industries 600,000 are employed. Ninety per cent of those building and keeping In repair our railroads have come here as Imml grants also within the last 80 years When the textile workers In the Massachusetts snd other eastern mills are Included, practically all the usable Immigrants have been counted In. The over-supply of unskilled for eign labor Is centered, as to more than three-fifths of it, In five eastern cities, herded In colonics, living In filth and squalor, where the English language Is all but unknown. Certain employers resort there, tempted by the willingness of the new arrivals to work for a pittance, and during Interminable hours. When they, after an apprenticeship, demand higher wages, they are discharged and newer arrivals take their places Many of them are mechanics who drift out Into the country at large Many writers on the evils of alien immigration quote numbers of immi grants and forget to take credit for emigrants. It Is often said that the United States receives a million or more Immigrants yearly. The fig ures from the office of the commis sioner general of Immigration, as the balance entering after deducting those leaving, are, for 1910, 817,619, and for 1911, 612,085. The percentage of alien Imml grants of the Teutonic and Keltic races jpf northern and western Eu rope was 31.1 for 1910 and 36.3 for 1911. The percentage of Slavs and other races from southern and east ern Europe South Italian, Hebrew, Polish and South German, Rou manians, Servians, Portuguese and Ruthenians and others was 64.1 for 1910 and 67.9 for 1911. The average gt Illiterate immigrants for 1911 was bnly 2.2 per cent of the Teutonics and Keltic of northern and western Europe, but 31.9 per cent of tbe Slavs and others from southern and -eastern Europe, and 31.5 per cent of the Armenians, Syr ians, Mexicans and Cubans. , - Legislation for excluding nearly all illiterate immigrants, and still more than now of the undesirables Is be ing strongly pushed. .- ' . propose third terms In the presi dency.

A Sheffield paper told of the police being called by the Midland Railway company In that town to stop some 400 boys and lads from digging on an outcrop of coal tbat some of them found three minutes' walk from the center of the city. They came across It on Friday night, and the town boys worked It by lamp and candle light from six Inches to five feet deep until by Saturday they had out be tween 40 and 50 tons. This they sold to the carts that came for it at over $4 a ton. The young miners bad no respect for the Midland rail way, and dug so close to the street and the railroad that they were bringing them all about their ears. Much has been said of the pros pective exhaustion of British mines But many of the reserves have been understated. In the Scotch county of Fife, for Instance, the output of one pit Increased from 70,000 tons In 1891 to 1,277,000 tons In 191L The available coal in that county at depth of less than 4000 feet it is now stated will amount to some 5,700,000,000 tons, or enough to maintain the present output for 930 years. The common rate of pay for the . miners In that district , was 44 cents per ton, rising to 6 1 cents in deep pits with narrow seams. The minimum wage demanded there Is $1.44 a day. The coal owners assert that to raise those wages would in' volve throwing much of their export trade to German and American op erators. Can they work for less, when to obtain, $1.44 for himself, and 96 cents for bis assistant, or "hutch drawer," a miner must get out five tons of coal a day A brake boy gets 64 cents for an eight hour shift, a pony driver 84 cents a shift The disclosures of tho various minimum wage commissions will make .

' His nam la O. R. Down. He Is the present Incumbent .and la giving aatlafaetlon. HI past experienoa in the offlc ha qualified him for better servr lea aa Judge of the peopira court, 10 wlt Justice of the peace. He Is an- old .nMi.r.and faithfully eerved JbJa coun- trr whan hi services were seeded, and now he la faithfully performing the duties of Justice. He la unable -to do hard work and caa and will, if nomi nated. .satisfactorily- discharge, the duties of' Justice of the peace. Above all. be etanda for good cUlxenshlp. we do appreciat thla fact which, by th way, 1 not ao uncommon among ath letes In the tlm os, as they hav learned that total abstlneno habits ar favorable to strength and endurance. It 1 altogether likely If tha Portland team would play their opening game on othar than Sunday that many W. a T. U. woman would avail themselves of the opportunity of attendance. We suggest that ths ball' team. In tokon of their appreciation of tha work of th W. C. T. U In creating an In terest In th study of ths value of total abstinence, whloh doubtless accounts for th temperance principles of tho college boys oomponlng this team, play their opening game on a week day that th ladles may attend.

To th Editor of Tha Journal I am too much of stranger in these parts to get Involved In a discussion with soma of your cltl sens, but I have been much Interested In tha lettera written your paper by a Mr. Walker and a Mr. Harris. The man Harris claimed to be a resident of St Paul and referred to Portland as a "dot on tha map. I think Ahat hla reference to, Portland should stamp him aa a man devoid of Judgment. Aa to Mr. Walker, wno aeams to nav traveled a great deal, ir you bellev what he writs. might be a aouroe of information to him to know that I have been a resldnt of St Paul for 13 years, and am mora or leas acquainted with th situation thre I Aave been a considerable taxpayer ali that time. I only expressed dniiirnt in my letter to The Journal with things as I observed them in Portland. Of course ll Mr. Walker wants me to believe oth erwlsa. good and well. I can return to Bt. Paul. I atlll think It is a good town, but I was vary much impressed with tha neauty and cleanliness of Portland, par Ocularly Its streetcars. - You know It la only nine miles from St Paul to Mln neapolls, and for so many yeara I have paid 10 centa to ride from on plac to the other. My 10 mile ride to St Johns ror i -tents waa something of a sumrisa Mayba 2 should not have been surprised. I am certain that I waa under 'th im pression that tha car was cjean, but If It "was dirty it must b that I am not used to the character of superior clean liness that soma of tha letter writers to Th journal seem to have In mind. I regret that t have "bean under: the Impression that most of th citizens of Portland wr boosters, .and apologize to Mr. Walker for- f ormlng- th .opinion. Too know I bad got tbe, idea that Port land wa a Wry good town to Hv in, but if I am to believe such" men a Walker. Harris and tha other man wbosa name I have forgotten. J can only express my regrets, for expressing my. bellev that Portland la a mighty 'fin town. Z might oom out her to live If I. was just aurr'that thr wer not to many kneckara, A.
