Amending the immigration Laws.

Amending the immigration Laws.
Not least important among the meas
uFes pending in the Fifty seventh con-
gress is that relating to the regulation
and restriction of immigration, public
demand for which was augmented by
the assassination of President McKin-
ley. The house committee on immi-
grafton and labor has prepared a bill
on the subject, which is practically
codification Of existing laws with
number Of new clauses, the purpose
being to put into one act number OF
scattered provisions relating to imml-
grafton, to eliminate from the existing
statutes whatever experience has
shown to be Objectionable, to amend
provisions which have not stood the
test Of judicial Interpretation and prac-
teal application and to add to the
present law whatever seems to be nee
essary to meet the advanced Judg-
ment Of those who have been studying
the immigration question for the last
quarter of a century.
One of the most notable changes sug-
gested increases the head tax from 81
to So. 1t is provided that this tax be
levied upon aliens coming into the
United States by land as we'll as those
reaching American shores by water,
exceptions being made in favor Of cit
liens of Canada and Mexico.
The dangers Of a large and growing
alien populGt ion are to be met by turn
ing away those found to be objection
able by the examining officers at the
immigrant stations and by keeping
track of those who, having got into
the country, subsequently become
criminals and paUpers. An extension
of the period of observation is provld-
ed for, so that at any time within five
years after his arrival an undesirable
alien may be deported. The counter
part of this system is found in the sys-
TEN of inspection abroad. which is de-
signed to prevent the embarkation OF
diseased persons, criminals and an
archists.
The excluded persons will comprise
idiots, insane persons, paupers and
those likely TO become public charge,
persons afflicted with a lOathsOme OF
dangerous contagious disease, those
~ 71.iTo
involving moral turpitude, polyga-
mists, anarchists and advocates Of as
sassination, prostitutes and persons
who procure the same, persons whose
migration has been induced by offers,
solicitations, promises or agreements
of labor or work or service and per-
sons whose ticket or passage is paid
with the money Of another or who are
assisted by others to come unless it be
affirmatively shown that the persons
do not belong to one Of the afOremen-
toned classes.
1t is provided, however, that nothing
in the act shall be regarded as exclud-
ing persons convicted of Offenses pure
" political and like provision is made
in relation to offenses not involving
moral turpitude. 1t is also provided
that skilled laborers may be admitted
if laborerS of like kind cannot be found
unemployed in the country, and pro-
fessional persons and personal and
domestic servants are not excluded.
In line with the general policy of the
other changes is the provision increas-
ing from one to five years the dura-
ton of the period within which an
alien coming into the country in viola
ton of law may be deported.

Teachers of the County Universally
Approve Appointment of George
Taylor as Superintendent.
YOUNGEST MAN FOR THE WORK
New Official is But Twenty-Five Years OF
ence in Tea ching-Fully Qualified.

The action of superintendent Harvey
in appointing George H. Taylor, of
Pleasant Prairie, County Superinten-
dent to succeed William Griffith, who
recently resigned, as chronic1ed in the
TELEGRAPH COURIER of last week,
is exceedingly satisfactory to the
people of the county and it is
doubtful if the superintendent could
have made better selection. Mr..
TAYLOR has been the leading candidate
for the position since the resignation
of Mr.. Griffith reached the Office of the
State Superintendent and he has had
from the first the fullest support of the
ma iority of the teachers in the county.
Mr. Taylor is probably the youngest
man that has ever been selected as
County uperintendent IN any county
in Wisconsin. He is but twenty-five
years Of age, but he has a record that
is rarely equalled by men of thirty.
Mr., Tay1or was educa ted in the schools
Of the county, and, being man of
am bition, he worked his way through
the Whitewater Normal, graduating
with high honors several years ago
and securing State certificate quail
flying him to hold the office to which he
has just been appointed.
After his work at the Normal had
been completed Mr.. Taylor returned to
his home in Pleasant Prairie and was
chosen as a teacher for the No. 2 school
house at Somers. He proved to be
splendid teacher, and was employed in
the different schools of the county for
the two following years.
Aftel this experience as a teacher
the new superintendent decided to
complete his education and last fall he
returned to Whitewater, where he has
been taking postgraduate work dur
ing the present year. He will take his
final examinations at the normal next
week and will return at once to Keno
sha to take up the work of his new
office.
Mr.. Taylor is son of Oscar Taylor
and is capable man in every way 1t
is understood that Taylor was the can
didare recommended by former Super
intendent Griffith as his successor.
Mr.. Taylor is we'll liked among the
the teachers of the county and is re-
garded as a man of progressive ideas
and hard worker.
Prof. Gown, one Of the other candi'
dates for the office, will be one of STU
perintendent Tay1or's strongest sup
porters.

 He was born and reared in this County and often came to visit relatives. many of whom still live in this county. He came a few days ago and went to the home of MT. Word. His peculiar actions caused MT. Word and his family to watch him. He showed no signs of violence. but talked and acted queerly. This morning he arose and dressed, went out to the barn. Soon after the family heard him calling for help. MT. Word hurried to him and found him lying on the ground with the blood squirting from a horrible gash in the right side of his throat.
 He was taken to the house and medical aid summoned from Athens, but when the physician arrived he could do him no good. He had failed to sever the main artery, but had punctured 1t so that by the time the physicians reached him he had bled so that he could not save him
 Mr. Edmundson was a very popular man and had scores of friends in this section. He was quite a factor in poll. tics and was a man who had wide in- fiuerce.

Mrs. Graham Visitor Here.

Mrs. Arthur Small Graham has been in the city for day or so. the guest or Miss Kate Edmonds on Selma Street. Mrs. Graham was the widow of Rev. Ar thur Small, who was the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city at the close of the war and who was killed in the battle of Selma, musket in hand, while attempting to help the old men and boys repulse the enemy. Mrs. Small afterawds married Chancellor Gra- ham.
 The visit of Mrs. Graham to Selma brings up the memories of the stirring times through which Selma passed in the trying days at the close of the war. Rev. Arthur Small was in the trenches just east of Elkdale Park when he was killed. The Federals had crept up the big ditch that crosses the range line road and had gotten close to the trenches in which the Confederates were lying. Being in vastly superior numbers they made rush and charged over the thin line of Confeder- ate soldiers. The Confederates surren- dered and firing had ceased. Rev. MT. Small had his gun in his hand and was walking with 1t as one would use stick, when a Federal, without a word of warning, shot him and he fell corpse.
 Mr. Small was greatly beloved by ev- erybody in Selma and when his remains were brought to the city in a carriage next day and prepared for interment there was great sorrow among all who knew him. Colonel N. H. R. Dawson was about ten miles south of Selma when the battle was fought and he met some one next day and asked about the cas- ualties He listened to a long list as the names of the dead were called over with the greatest composure, but when the fNne of Arthur Small was mentioned Colonel Dawson could not control his feelings and tears streamed down his cheeks, so great was his affection for the dead minister.
