Here was II golf-player who wouldn't

There was only one encouraging
symptom. and he was n young doctor
who used to call-well. quite often.
She had met him on the links. so we
gathered. and certainly the two talked
about golf whenever they met-so far
as We knew.
II wasn't long before my daughter
came to me for the initiation fee to

My son Bobby was at first scornfully
superior to the attractions of the new
game. He used to cough in highly

Gwendolen were exchanging views
about bogie, and puttees. and bunkers.
and lofters, and would try to engage
me in vigorous discussion as to the
charms Of jackstones, old maid, mug
gins, and other trivial games. So far
as golf was concerned he seemed an
immune.
Therefore we were all much sur
prised, one evening at dinner, to hear
him interrupt DR.. Simmons, who was
delivering an enthusiastic eulogy of
the royal game.
''Jt is adapted" said the young ply
siclan, ito every age. 1t has all the
fascination Of billiards, with the added
glories of the open air. It is cheap
and engrossing. The simplicity of the
game-to drive the ball toward ita
goal and to place it accurately on the
green, when 1t is deftly propelled into
the hole-alore makes it simple for the

To my surprise. DR.. Simmons and
Gwendolen seemed really annoyed.

silly sensitivcness.
And Bobby went on:
What's dude golf?' l asked Benny.
And Benny. he says: Why, you get
your best girl. and you holds her hand

conversation to his last school report

immigration Question.

Within the last few weeks the I'm
migration Commissioners have Or
dered back to their native land
number of immigrants who, it was
alleged, had come here under contract
with the Illinois Steel Company. A
few days ago three more were sent
back on the steamer Switzerland, who
it was charged, had come here under
violation of the contract labor laws
and who were bound for Joliet, ILL.,,
near which place there is a branch of
the Illinois Steel Company.
If these charges are true the gov
ernment should take some drastic
measures to bring the steel company
to account for its violation of the i'm
migration laws. The fact that the
men did not escape the scrutiny of
the Commissioners, and that the steel
company did not profit by their at
tempt to evade the law, is no reason
why the company should not be held
responsible. The law was designed
to prevent the importation of an un-
desirable class of laborers who would
enter into ruinous competition with
the American workmen, and whose
presence would tend to promote dis
order in the country.
Our own state has been for years a
sufferer from this class Of immigrants
who years ago we're brought into the
coal fields and iron foundries in differ
ent parts Of the state to take the place
of the labor then employed in these
industries. Those imported have been
menace TO the state ever since. They
do not become assimilated with the
people Of the state, and they have re-
tanned all the vicious traits which
they brought into the country, The
strong hand of the law has been
necessary on many occasions to keep
them in subjection.
There is no lack of both skilled and
unskilled labor in our own country
and their is no necessity for any con
cern to go abroad in search for cheap
labor to enter into competition with
the men who have made this their
permanent home, and who are law
abiding citizens, striving to live as
becomes the people Of a civilized
country.
The Government does right to pro
tect, as far as possible, it's people
from the scum Of the earth, too much
OF which has already been permitted
to enter the country.
