REDISCOVERING THE WEST.
Word comes from Kansas that the
state will need over 40,000 men to
assist in gathering its enormous
wheat crop. Calls for men come from
a dozen middle and northwestern
states. Thousands of men, mostly
recent immigrants, who make Chicago
their headquarters, have left for these
states in the last few days. Thou
sands of others are going daily.
To most of the foreign laborers
this trip to the western states is their
first acquaintance with the West and
with American farm life. What a
splendid thing it would be for these
men and for the country at large if
instead of coming back to Chicago
after the harvest season is over they
would try to locate in those states
permanently. There certainly are as
many opportunities for able bodied
and work-willing men to earn a live
lihood there as there are in Chicago
and other over-crowded cities.
If these men at the close of the
harvest season return to the congest
ed cities it will not be entirely their
fault. They are, after all, strangers
here. They may be in the heart of a
country literally overflowing with
milk and honey and yet not know
how to anchor there. Right here is
where the foreign press and the lead
ers of the foreign communities can
help both the immigrants and the
nation—can do much toward making
the immigration problem less acute.
The foreign press can enlighten these
men about the country they are in
and about the opportunities there
are in it for them. Foreign American
societies might even send represen
tatives there who could devise ways
and means of making the men who
have left the big cities stay away
from them. The West needs to be
rediscovered for the newer immi
grants. It is the duty of the Amer
icanized and well-to-do citizens of
these nationalities to lead in this
work of aiding their brethren.—Chi
cago Tribune.
CANADA’S HINDU PROBLEM.
Embarrassing complications are
promised by the determination of
western Canada to exclude Hindus
from admission as laborers. The ser
ious aspect of the case is that the
Hindus belong to the same political
system as Canada and are demanding
admission on the ground that they
are British subjects and therefore en
titled to free access to all parts of
the empire.
What the home government in Lon
don can do to settle an affair of this
kind it is difficult to discover. If it
decides with the Canadians and ex
cludes the Hindus, then it will call
down on its head the imprecations
of its Oriental subjects, who are in
an extremely rebellious mood any
how. If it should encourage the Hin
dus, then it would all be up with the
loyalty of the Canucks to the mother
country. Pity John Bull! He car
ries on his Atlas-like shoulders the
most tremendous political burden the
world has ever known. But he gen
erally finds a way, with that genius
for compromise which is the essence
of good politics.
JUNEAU’S VALUATIONS
NEARLY $3,000,000
Juneau has an assessed valuation
of $2,834,875. With the assessment
rolls carefully gone over and the
work of the equalization board com
pleted City Clerk E. W. Pettit has
finished the tabulation and finds that
the city of Juneau has an assessed
valuation of $2,834,875. Mr. Pettit says
that the subsequent, checking may
change the amount by a few dollars,
but that the above figures are sub
stantially correct.

The Reason.
While there may be danger of over
working the word efficiency, there is
little likelihood of pushing beyond due
limits the idea which it has come to
represent. It stands for getting the
maximum amount of results from the
minimum expenditure of time, money,
energy.. The expert, the efficiency en
gineer, is. invading all lines of busi
ness, eliminating waste in all its
forms. If it is worth while to pay
efficiency engineers to show us how
to retrench on business lines, is it not
infinitely more important' to employ
efficiency engineers of the human ma
chine? The real office of the physi
cian is to keep his patients well. All
conscientious, up-to-date physicians
agree to this. Since there is such
an agreement among physicians, what
is Hhe contribution of osteopathy to
the healing sciences? What is the
reason for its existence?
The distinctive contribution of os
teopathy is that that mechanical de-r
rangements of various tissues of the
body, by interfering with the blood
and nerve supply of the organs, and
consequently their functions, are a
fruitful source of disease.
No other recognized school of heal
ing holds, these Ideas, and since in
the twenty-two years that osteopathy
has been practiced as a profession It
has demonstrated in countless thou
sands of cases that the theory is
true, that it works, it would seem
that the fact that it cures cases that
nohlng else will cure is sufficien rea
son for its existence.
