DANISH THE VERMIN.

OF deputy sherl1s In Illinois the other
day. Among the names of the strik
ers killed and wounded we note: An
ton Velesversh, Thos. Morski, Laur
ence Lavendrowiski, John Zovottruski
and five othere whose names we could
not get into a column. We would
desire tc point to no better argument
in favor Of amending our immigration
laws Immediately All that is needed
to fill man of reason, who loves his
country, with overpowerlng indigna-
ton, is to read first Of one of these
vicious strikes that are becoming only
too common, next the names Of those
killed by the police in suppressing the
mob. 1t makes man grind his
teeth with rage to see the fair soil of
his native land being trampled, torn
and Redeemed by wild, filthy, brutal
horde of Dagoes, Huns, Portuguese,
Firms and all the scum of old world
pauperism. His only regret is that
the police did not kill the last snarl-
ing black dog Of them. 1t fires
every nerve to the utmost tension
to realize what an avalanche of human
wolves and coyotes are sweeping upon
us from the sewers across the sea
every year and think how utterly
powerless one is to shut out the ele-
ment that is dragging our country
down, down, down. A quarter of a
century more, if the business keeps
up, will see the America we all love
on level with the squallor-ridden
countries Of the old world. Where it
took them centuries to acquire their
dense population, it will take us but
few years, because we are not grow
ing, as did the old countries, only by
the natural increase of a people, but
our population is being swelled by the
hosts from all quarters Of the globe.
Stop them, stop them The slogan
should ring from one end of the land
to the other. While we are dealing
with the Chinese we should make a
clean sweep, putting all foreign coun-
tries on the same level as far as allow
ing their paupers to come to our pro-
life land to crowd the sons and daugh-
tiers Of America out of their birth
rights Phis whine about fairness
between countries in each giving open
welcome to the natives of the other is
the rankest bosh, and its source is
from those with capital, whom the
degradation Of our nation cannot eff
feet, who desire the cheap labor ele-
ment for their own ends. This talk
of other countries retaliating and
shutting out Americans from their
own shores is extremely wild 1t is
like turning swine out of the garden
and the swine in retaliation forbidding
you the freedom OF the hog pen.
Few wealthy foreigners come here to
live, but many poor ones come here
to fatten on the wealth that the ma
ton should protect for its coming
generations. Some well-to-d do Amer
leans 60 to foreign countries for
pleasure and to manage certain lines
of trade, but no poor Americans go
to foreign countries to seek their
fortunes. Read the list of killed
when strikers bat.le occurs. Con
over the names of the victims of
every mine accident. Know that
ninety per cent Of the Ceur d'Alene
strikers-who cost the state of Idaho
such sum-were foreigners, many of
whom could not speak English and
nearly all of whom we're not citizens
nor had even declared their intentions.
The sequel it tells fires every true
American heart.
