NO OA IN' BY IMMIGRATION
In the nine months from the be
ginning of last August to the
end of April the total immigration
received If the United States was
341,617 while the emigration in
the same period was $27,348, mak
ing a ne. gain by immigration of
nly 14.2C9. Even that very small
difference is really fictitious ao a
test of conditions since the war
began because thousands of the
immigrants who arrived In August
had sailed before the crisis came.
It is quite certain that In the en
tire period siuce the vast conflict
fairly gripped Europo there lias
been uo uet gain by immigration
iu the United States.
But there will be an enormous
immigration after the restoration
of peace. Then the stream long
held back will flow with greater
for; e than ever. The changes and
readjustments at the ending of the
w.-r will make a vast number of
Europeans feel that their only
hope of ulerable conditions of life
lies in beginning again in America.
For the present the almost en- J
ti'-e stopuage of immigration is-j
fortunate for the country, it I
saves the labor market from a
crushing burden and enables ihe
business uen of the United States
to make the best of difficult con
ditions creatgj by the war. A
year hence, or two years from now,
the situation is likely to be very
different and then this country can
take care of a million immigrants
beiter than it could dispose of
l')0,0ui) ur.der the circumstances
existing today.
MONEY AND TO SPAKE
Cotioider'i'g the complications
which the war has brought about
aud the possible outcome of them
so far us this country is concerned,
there is assurance that if the wore'.
c»:ues we have plenty of money. It
:s iiaid that in this sense we are in
s: Undid condition. Pcssibly we
'.."re t'ever better able to meet any
demand that may be made upon us.
Noting this assurance, a good wo
man acquaintance remarks on the
facility with which we boast of our
lison j and the willingness with
which we would spend it if war
should come and the purpose of
spending it were to kill people and
destroy property. Some pithy phil
osophy in that comment.
Wuy, indeed, should we hold our
selves to »be profligate spending of
money only upon occasion when
I illin/ aud destruction are the ob
jects? No intelligent person ques
tions why we spend it on such oc
casion; but why not as willingly let
so of it for constructive as lor de
structive purposes? |
W'aen war comes we spend tens
o' millions a week and when funds
on hand are gone we borrow more
to the illimitable credit of the na
tion, it tliist be necessary. But
stranire to say we would uever do
tha> to make men better, women hai»
pier Li nd children more competent to
face t> e duties that will come upon
'hem wneu they are nier, and wome
For ' lese latier purposes we spend
money, it r true, but not with the
unchecked liberality with which we
empty the treasure chests when war
is on aud some one is to be kilted.

LEAD TW^CE MORE
[o Top Hittars For Tenth Time
Is His Ambition.
I
PREMIER FOR EIGHT YEARS.
Detroit's Great Outfielder Says if He
Can Accomplish This He Is Willing
to Quit the Diamond—Is the Only
Batsman to Equal Wagner's Mark.
Ty Cobb dropped Into a Detroit news
vrflper otilce U;s other night and picked
ap "A History of liasetffld" and ran
through the batting records that form
the blgh lights of diamond history. lie
was especially Interested In llans Wag
uer's eight years at the top of the Na
tional league, a record which Cobb tied
to 1014.
'There Isn't anything I wouldn't give
to lead the league Just two years more,"
■wild Tyrus. "I don't know whether I
can do It or not, but to be the best bat
ter In a major league for ten years
would be euougb to satisfy any man.
It sure would suit me.
"If there is anything more for which
I would give almost anything It would
be to beat Lajole's batting average of
422 in 1901. I got .420 In 1911. and
there were two games In which 1 didn't
play that I might have. 1 don't know
that they would have boosted my aver
age. but 1 can't help thinking that I
nassed up a big chance. I certainly was
i fortunate batter that year."
WDlie glancing over toe rpcorua
Cobb's eye fell on a passage that In
troduced the story of his perform
ances. and he read It over several
times. It ran as follows:
"Cobb Is the only batsman of the
rime with the possibility of passing
Wagner's world word (Wagner bat
'ed over .SOO eighteen consecutive
years). He Is a wonderful batsman
In point of ability, but has not the
physique to warrant hope that he will
be able to stand the strain of major
league playing as well as the four
?iants—.Wagner. Anson. Brouthers and
Lajoie—who now lend him In the point
of continuous service."
"I wonder if that Is true." mused
Cobb. "I know that folks expect me
to break down under the strain of tbe
game, and maybe I will. But I really
think that my manner of training In
the winter Is conserving my strength.
I know this much: I have been play
ing ball eleven years now. and of re
cent years It has been easier for me to
cet into condition and keep In shape
than It was when I was younger. I
seem to be really getting In better
'■ouditlon each year.
"One can't tell how loug that will
be true, though. Maybe they are right,
and I will crnck some day. One thing
Is certain, anyway. I am not going to
siacken the pace I have set as long as
I have strength to keep It np. nn'ess
I should voluntarily retire, as I hope
to do after a few years."
LISTER OPENS LECTURE

'he lecture was given in the class

"Tbe extension division is doing

LICENSE HE!
IS G0I1 IN
.Tuneau Empire: First results of
Chi euse law enucted by tho hist
legislature are evidenced iu applica
tions received by tUe office of the
territorial treasurer today in which
r©Tiesti» for licenses aro made as
follows: H«»ury Cockerille, of Val
dez, applies for professional license
to practice denjtistry. Cockerille
will 'receive Professional License
No. 1. License No. 2 will go to
Ernest C. Dalton, also of Valdez,
who applies foi professional physi
cian's licer.se. Harold M. Craig, of
Haines, will receive No. 3, likewise
a physician's license.
Two automobile licenses have
beeu applied for, one of the applica
tions coming lrom Claudo T. rtoyles,
of Valdez, and the other Owen E.
Meals of the same city. Boyles
will be granted General License No.
1, and Me:ils General License No. 2.
The office reports several applica
tions from Ketchikan for mining
and fishing licenses tie well as
professional licenses. It will bo
remembered that until tho en
actment of the last legislature be
came effective the territory way
unable to collect license fee3 owing
to the fact that although a law
had been passed authorizing their
collection it was found that the
law was opposed to the organic law
of the territory and thai collections
could not be made by the- clerks of
the court, as the law then provid
ed.
The organic law was ame uled by
congress in 1914. The new law just
passed provided that these collec
tions be handled by tha treasurer's
office.
The first fish trap owner to pay
llct-nse taxes to the treasurer was
Pacific American Fisheries company
last week, and the North ivcstorn
Fisheries company. Both paid for
trap cites on Icy strait.
SOFTNESS OF StiALSK'N.

Sealskin is admired the world over for
its softne«; and glossiness; and yet the
human hair is equally as soft and gijssy
when healthy; and the radical cause of all
hair trouble is uandruff. which Is caused
by a pestlfero'.a parasite that sups tlia
vitality of the hair ,-t it - root. Newt ro's
Herpiclde Is the only preparation t! ! is
fatal to the dandruff germ. Without i u
druff there is no falling hair, but a lux
