Gets New Encour agement from Report Issued by Naturalization Bureau. WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.—With the convening of congress last week, the American Federation of Labor is pre paring to renew its .fight for immigra tion restriction legislation, which has been passed by successive congresses, only to be vetoed by the last three presidents. A recent document issued by the bu reau of. naturalization, department of labor, answers the claim of .anti-restricr tionists tht all of our immigrants come to America for the purpose of becoming part of democratic institutions. In discussing its efforts to interest these immigrants in citizenship, the bureau says: "While the above figures indicate a large number among the foreign ele ment of this country coming forward for citizenship, the number does not ap pear relatively very large when it is known that in 1910 there were nearly 14,000,000 foreigners in this country, that of this number 9,000,000 were not citizens and that the foreign body hfs been increased nearly 1,000,000 annu ally since then. "By far the larger portion of the for eign residents of this country have re tained their allegiance to the sover eignty of their birth. Recently reports in the public press have shown many of these are ready to respond to the be hest of these sovereignities. It is well known that large numbers returned im mediately upon the call of the country of their nativity, leaving the ties, per sonal, family, industrial and others, which have grown up in this country, for the stronger call of allegiance to the foreign sovereignty. This was the case prior to the great War of Europe, in the lesser wars among the Balkan states, "Among the approximately 14,000,000 foreign alien residents, 1,660,361 artt classed as illiterates. These illiterates are the natural prey of the designing and scheming foreigners nd natives, as well, at every turn. They compel them to pay tribute, both in cash and blood, for every service, both real and K, P.

The total' .number of immigrant aliens, the report shows, fell from 1,218,480 in the previous year to 326,700 in the period ending June 30, last. Alfr admitted arrivals of aliens, immigrant and nonimmigrant, were only 434,244, compared with 1,403,801 the year before. Itepartures Decrease Departures of aliens likewise show a notable decrease. For the fiscal year of 1914, departures were 633. 805 for 1915, 384,i74. The fiscal year of 1915 covers the period of sailing home of reservists from the beginning of war till June 30, last. During that time the emigrant aliens, presumably including the number sailing to J6in the colors in Europe, were 204,074, compared with 303,338 the previous 12 months. The non emigrant aliens departing totaled 180,100 for 1915 and 38Q, 467 for 1914, showing a net decrease for all alien departures of 249,631, Excess of arrivals over departures, aliens alone being considered, was only 50,070 in 1915. In 1914 the excess was 769,276. °f the 326,700 immigrant aliens V* the United States in the 1915 fiscal ye^r, 52,982 Were under 14 years of age 244,472 were from 14 to 44 years, and 29,246 were 45 pr, oyer, Thdse over 14 who could neither read nor write numbered 35, 057 those able to read but not Write 392, making the total number of illiterates over 14, 35,449, or 13 per cent. Pepprted aliens numbered 26,675. This included 24,111 excluded at ports ®hd sent back to their country of origin and 2,564 arrested and expelled the country. Of those excluded 2,732 were denied admission because they were Contract laborers. Immigrants Have $0 Each.

One hundred «nd ninety thousand claimed to have paid their own passage across the Atlantic 128, 140 said that their passage had been paid by relatives and 7,697 that it had been -aid by persons other relatives. With reference to exclu sions, the report asserts: "Conditions during -the past year were so abnormal'that accurate com parisons with previous years are dif ficult Exclusions in 1913 amounted to 1.38 per cent of the number ap plying in 1914 this was increased to 2,3 per cent and In the past year the increase has been ^up to 5.3 per cent.

Interest runs high in the poming of that splendid comedy-drama en titled "Kick-In" with Richard Ben nett for an engagement -f eight days at the Lyceum beginning Christmas matinee. The characters and the situations of "Kick-In" are both new to the stage and- are said to he presented without artificiality and in a fashion. that is decidedly logical, tens and with a good round measure -of warm human sympathy. It is this syspa thetlc note which is struck at once by the shrewd author who makes his eropks struggle for reform against a hard police commissioner and a most damning set of circumstances. Their attempts to keep straight and at the same time prove faithful to their friends provide the* plot for. the play and action enough to satisfy the most hardened theatergoer. wnmiHTi —A MERRY CHRISTMAS— I I 1 I I 4 I Dr. Alexander Graham On How to Be Healthy Beginning with this issue of: The Labor World we have opened a de partment of health edited by Dr. Alexander Graham, a local Chiro practor, with offices at 500 Columbia building. As Dr. Graham is a recognized ex ponent of drugless therapeutics the readers of this paper would do well to acquaint themselves with his ideas as to the cause of human inefficiency and ill health in general. We are not sufficiently versed in the' nomenclature and principles of his method of treatment to justify' our entering upon any extensive discus sion of its philosophy, but we do know of a great number of cases, in which health was restored by Dr. Graham that were actually marvel ous. THE JAW OP UFE AND YSMOItSL 'This departure is for.-. t|ie -purpose of educati: r'the public 'upon health matters~*how to avoid sickness, and how to be healthy, and in so doing the writer shall aim to avoid as far jas possible, the use of technical terms, and foreign nomenclatures, ex cept in cases where no adequate Eng lish term seems available. To maintain the highest standards of physical perfection and attain to long life, a knowledge of the laws of life and health must be understood and respected otherwise the. body will degenerate and die prematurely. The first law of nature, which is self-preservation, is the one most often violated. It is not because the pepple are ignorant of this law, but because they allow delusive impulses t6 overcome their better judgment, the majority of people know better than to over eat A hen bodily resist ance is low, overindulgence in any thing is a violation of this first law. It has been truly said that, some peo ple would rather die than reform. In my ten years' experience as a prac titioner in drugless therapeutics, I have seen young men and women'de cline and die from ailments brought on themselves from errors of living for which they would not accept ad vice that would put them on the Way to recovery.- Just now Duluth is passing through one of the worst epidemics'of colds, and la grippe that has been witnessed by its earliest inhabitants. Many of those who In ordinary atmospheric conditions were apparently in the best of health are now suffering from one or the other ,of those winter ail ments. This goes to show that those who are now ill have overdrawn, on their store of physical resistance. If Prohibition's Dream Came True Relative to' industries that would be paralyzed if the idle dreams of prohibitionists could be realized, it is well to submit a general outline of calculated loss in the United States, thereby advising as' to the character of industries that would be affected, viz: The brewing industries alone represent an investment of more than $3,748,826,562. The fanner who grows the barley, rye, corn, hops antd other grains used in processes of brewing would be hurt annually more than $108,000,000 worth. A sum of more than. $52, 000,000 "yvpuld ho longer be put into labor that now produces beet, and the like. Iwniber, rubber goods, steam engines, machinery jtools^ plumbers' supplies, wagons, harness, builders' supplies^ glass, filter ing materials, chemical supplies, paints, varnish, brushes, packing house products, advertising signs, just a few items additional that would mean annual loss of about $15,000,000, and $20,000,000 a year ^hat railroads get out of the brewers. Consider, further, the wage 'loss pet capita. Xn 1910 the average wage in various trades wa& only $438 a year, whilst an average of $718.was paid to brewery workers. Summing up, the probitionist would destroy a market for the farmer's grain that makes a territory equal to two states to grow. I^arge armies of men would be thrown out of employment. The prspects of making deserts of many farms and paupers of workings men arid their families does not deter the prohibitionist.

MERRY CHRISTMAS-— Suggests Soldiers Be Kept Busy on Government Projects. Now Idlers WASHINGTON, Dep. 23.—An army educated in ngineerlng end hardened to the rigors of campaigning through the reclamation of desert lands, the reforestation of large estern tracts add the prbtectipg of the Mississippi valley from floods, was advocated this afternoon by Senator Works of Call fornia* just before congress adjoiirned for the holidays. He said such-Ian army would do away with two great evils first, the unpreparedness of the country and Second, the danger in the present pre paredness plan of creating "a mili tary caste." Also, he said, 'he sol diers recruited would be doing useful .work instead of becoming idlers. "iLet the men *n this army gain physical confidence by exercise,", said Works addressing the senate. "Let them gain the conquering spirit by conquering the great forces in nature, Give them some military drill. "Such ah army would open up vast tracts and help to empty the slums of Our cities." The senator's address contained an attack on the Vera Cruz expedition of •last year as hasty ana unwarranted, and a denunciation of the "thraldom" of the American soldier. He told of •a case where a private was tried and discipUned Tor entering and remaining in a. saloon where aa officer was, €uch spirit, he said, was a nearer and miore dangerous enemy than any foreign invader now in sight. -rr ./ VICMJATE WOMUK'S LAWI JPISD.
