The proof appears to be conclusive that the assassin of King Humbert was
 an Italian immigrant
 ANARCH- to the United States,
 ISTS IN and that he returned to AMERICA. Italy with the predeter-
 mined purpose to do precisely that which he did.
 At the very beginning of the irvesti- gation of the assassination it was dis covered that the slayer of the king was an anarchist, and a member of a so-called group or society, having it's headquarters at Paterson, N. J. Bresci's associates were immigrants to this country, and coming here they schemed and planned murder, and are still bent upon that nefarious business.
 At Paterson the associated anarch- ists. it is stated, hold meetings regu- larly, propagate their destructive doc trines in set speeches and in a news paper published by and for them. In other places in the United States these alien anarchists have their groups, or societies. their halls, make their in- cendiary speeches and publish their vicious newspapers. They are covert and dangerous enemies to the state, to law and order and to the security of society.
 For many years past thoughtful, sagacious Americans have viewed with alarm the inpour of the broad stream of foreign immigra tion-a stream which steadily grows greater in volume and muddier in it's composition.
 Until within a quite recent period the immigrants who came to America were, with but rare exceptions, people who quickly assimilated with those to whom they came; they were generally indus trious, thrifty and energetic. They came with the intention to enjoy not only the fruits of the land, but to be- come loyal American citizens. This class of immigrants, which was vir- tually the only class, added to the wealth and greatness of the country: it was not illiterate: it was a strenuous supporter of law and order. friend to society; an upholder of whatever was best in our political system, and it was without anarchists.
 Our congress has enacted laws against the admission to our ports of convicted criminals, paupers and con- tract laborers; but it has passed none for the exclusion of anarchists, or for the barring out of social and political enemies to the state, or for the non admission of the lowest, vilest and most vicious creatures of the slums of the continental cities, who have infest- ed the cities and towns of America, and whose chief contributions to the coun- try which has welcomed them have been illiteracy, anarchy, sloth and squalid and demoralizng living. The mass of the representatives of this multitudinous class does not add to the wealth, dignity, greatness or security of the state. As a rule, it's members do hOt oSSiiiiidtS NItl llle peDple WHO SlNt them hospitality; they do not become nor do they intend to become, loyal American citizens. They herd together in squalid quarters" and from among them are formed the groups, or socie- ties, which plot and plan assassination A great proportion of our new inmi- grafton is composed of mere birds ol passage, who come and go. They work for the lower wage and have made in some of our industries the pauper wages of the old world the pauper wages of the United States.
 Our immigration laws clearly need to
