Foreign Immigration.

Paper Read Before the ChdanduQua Circle.
As the two paramount issues
before the American people today,
l think we may consider the trust
and the labor question as such, or
is it not possible that they are but
subdivisions of a still greater one
the equalization of taxation?
The trusts are easily first to be
considered, but inasmuch as the
birth of trusts was due to the
American people themselves, and
as they are still in their infancy,
let us hope that Uncle Sam will at
last take hand in the upbringing
of these bowling, clamoring in
kfants and train them in the paths
they should go, even if his hand

True, our ancestors must have
been immigrants, but there is no
comparison between those immi-
grants, who have made this coun-

grants, who landed here in the
seventeenth century, De Tocque-

that has already been accomplished
in the west. Private irrigation
companies have brought many
arid valleys into cultivation that
now support thriving cities. In
Oregon, Washington, Arizona,
Colorado and Texas reservoirs and
canals are maintained by corpora
tons and cooperative companies.
Considerable irrigation is also done
by means Of pumping with gaso-
line engines or by means of water
power furnished by the same
streams that supply the water. In
South Dakota and few other
states artesian wells supply water
for irrigating purposes. Colorado

Louisiana and other southern
states where rice is cultivated, ir-
rigatjon is making large Roadway.
But all of this work, great as it is,
falls into insignificance when CON-
pared with the gigantic under
taking of the government.
Irrigation compels small hold
ings and close cultivation, hence a
dense population, a population Of

which provides for the irrigation
of our arid lands.
Legislation of late has been so
ambiguous, so closely woven in
the minds of the plain people with
trusts, and with hidden political
motives, that it is really refreshing
to see law enacted that means
lasting benefit to every citizen of
the republic. It is to be hoped
that we are all familiar with the
provisions of this measure. If
not we should be, as it is the most
important law enacted in recent
years, not excepting the Canal
Bill. The funds carried with the
measure will be automatically
added to by the sale of reclaimed
lands, when brought under irriga-
ton, and it is estimated that more
than one hundred and fifty mill
lion dollars will be available for
this work during the next thirty
years. More than one hundred
million acres of land now lying
waste, inhabited only by coyotes
and prairie wolves, and where
nothing but sagebrush grows, will
be transferred into million farms
capable of supporting fifty million
people in comfort and plenty.
Think of 1.-THE project is mag
nifcent. We peaceably annex, or
rather we reclaim, an empire far
Egreater than that in the Orient
for which good American blood is
being given; an empire of which
NO man or trust can buy from the
government more than 160 acres
each. Here is plenty of room for
the man who would throw off the
letters of servitude and call no one
Master.
According to government an
alysis, the arid lands of America,
which comprise one-third of
its area, are richer than any other
on the continent. The reason of
this is that none of the plant food
in the soil has been washed away
by rain. It has been proven that
an acre of this land under irriga-
ton will produce as much as four
acres farmed in the ordinary way.
The value of the land that will
be reclaimed and the homes it will
furnish are not the only benefits
that will result from this work.
When the reservoirs are completed
throughout the west, the water
supply of the country will be to a
great extent under control and the
semiannual floods that do untold
damage will be a thing of the
past, as the water can be held in
check until needed for irrigation.

~ to enrich the soil, as most
water contains fertilizing matter
of great value. Soil that does not
contain at least 10 per cent water
will yield none of it to plant life,
and from this fact the necessity of
irrigation in rainless countries is
.self-evident.
All vegetation in growing state
requires considerable water, the
quantity depending upon the plant,
soil, climate, season, slope and
drainage. Ordinary grain plants
each require about one gallon of
water during the months of their
growth, while rice must be prac-
tically submerged almost all the
time. It is estimated that each
acre of land requires 800 gallons of
water per hour each time the wa
ter is turned on to provide equal
distribution to all portions Of the
land. Drainage is an important
feature in irrigation, for if the
water is allowed to stand it cakes
the soil and retards instead of
benefits plant growth.
Irrigation and civilization-how
closely they are bound together.
When a country attains high
civilization, or a dense population,
there you will find irrigation.
Nearly all our textbooks speak of
the ruins of ancient irrigating
canals found in almost all rainless
countries. Such ruins are found
on this continent in New Mexico
and Arizona, and portions of
South America. One of the rich
est, most powerful and most highly
civilized empires of ancient days
was reared on the arid land and
desert sands of Egypt, made fruit
full by irrigation. In China, Japan,
India and portions of Europe
irrigation has been carried on for
centuries, and it's extension through
out Egypt and India at the present
time is proving the salvation of
the swarming millions that inhabit
those countries.
Musty old legal documents show
that the system as carried on has
been nearly the same in all coun-
tries, the only apparent difference
being that in India the charge for
water is assumed upon the area of
the land irrigated, while in Europe
the charge is based upon the
quantity of water used. The lat
ter system is in vogue in this
country. England has just COM
pleted some irrigation works in
Egypt at a cost of $16,OOO,OO,
which at once increased the wealth
of that country at the rate OF
SIS, 100000 per annum; or in other
words, the value of the products
from the reclaimed land for the
first year under irrigation
amounted to more than Is pei
cent of the total cost of installing
the works. What better answer
does one want to the question
Does irrigation pay?
Notwithstanding England's sue
cess in Egypt, despite the fac1
that millions of people in the
crowded east depend upon irrigat
ed land for their bread-I repeat
in the face of these facts it hat
taken years of work by the Ma
tional Irrigation Association te

States that irrigation is practica

Cadet Roy Holderness of This City is
Released From All Examinations
at West Point.
WILL COME HOME ON FURLOUGH,
Kenoshas Boy Stands at the Head of the
Second Year Glass, and is One of
the Leading Military Cadets.

Roy Holderness, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Holderness, of this city, who
is now cadet al the United States
Military Academy at West Point, is
winning distinguished honors and a
telegram was received in this city Fri
day stating that he had been made one
of the honor men of his class for this
year and had been notified that he
would not be required to take any of
the examinations.
The honor that has been given to the
Kenosha boy is one seldom given to a
especially at this time of the year.
Often the cadets are released from the
tedious examinations at the middle of
the year, but seldom is one of the second
year men excused at the June exams.
AS a result of this splendid record of
hard work Cadet Holderness has been
notified that he will be granted three
months Through, which will begin in
about three weeks. Roy will return to
Kenosha to spend his fur1ough.
Cadet Ho1derness entered West
Point two years ago, having been APP
pointed a cadet by Senator Quar1es.
At his entrance examination he made
grades that at once placed him among
the leading students at the Military
academy and during his first year he
assumed leading place among the
cadets. His work in the Kenosha high
school had been of such nature that
he was sp1endid1y equipped for the
work at the academy. At the end of
the first years work he was among the
cadets mentioned for good work dur
ing the year and at the opening of the
present year he was selected as the
leader of his class.
While he has made record as stu
dent of which any boy might we'll be
proud, and which is an honor to Keno
sha, he has always taken a great in
terest in cadet life at West Point.
He is star among the cadets for
military service and has taken an i'm
portaut place among the athletes
among the lower classes. Foot ball
and base ball have both been in his
line and there is little doubt but that
he will be member of the army team
for next year.
Arthur Ho1derness, another Kenosha
boy at West Point, is also making
splendid record and the two Kenosha
cadets are considered among the lead
ers of the younger students.
When Cadet Holderness returns to
Kenosha to spend the summer he will
be assured warm welcome.

THE bill to codify the laws relating
to immigration which passed the
House by large majority is one of
the most important measures to come
up at this session. Should it become
law it will shut out a most urde-
sirab1e class of immigrants. The bill
provides for an educational test to be
applied to all immigrants and those
who can not successfully pass it are
to be refused admission It is pro-
posed that all persons over Is years of
age who are physically capable of
reading, but who can not read the
English language or some other
language, shall be denied admission
into the United States. The severity
of this is mitigated little by the pro-
vision that ar admissible immigrant
may bring in or send for his wife, his
children under 18, and his parents and
grandparents over so, whether they
are able to read or not. The labor
organizations who feel that the un-
restricted entry of the lowest anG
poorest class of foreign 1aborers will
overstock the labor market and so pull
down wages are heartily in favor Of
the proposed measures and most Of the
union workmen IN the country have
signed the petitions in favor of the
educational test, which have been pre-
scented to Congress. That there is an
element of danger in the unrestricted
entry of the great mass of illiterates
even the most superficial observer Of
passing events must admit. 1t is from
this class that our anarchist groups
are recruited and in the hands of IN.
scrupulous politicians their votes are
often used to nullify the will of the
people.

speak in life as we'll as by words, such
sentiments as these.

IN memory of those leaders who rest

But let me speak word of another
class, men perhaps 20 less worthy-I
mean our unknozUn deadi There is
something very pathetic here. Think
OF one of your own beloved ones of
your own family, buried you know not
where! Today tear may we'll be
shed for such. And it may be that
many of those unknown ones were
even more deserving of their country
than some who have had monuments
over their graves.
| understand that IN our National
cemeteries twenty years since, there
had been buried 318, 176 soldiers; but of
these the unknown numbered 146,174
or 40 per cent. These were buried in
seventy-nine National cemeteries, and
in twenty-five States.
Oh, let us who survive today think
of these-of these who were in a high
sense the saviors of our country. But
are they dead? No. Though we know
not their graves, they live in our mem
ory; they live in their heroic example;
they live today in Nation preserved;
nay, they live in the thought Of their
God; they live in sure resurrection;
aye, they live, for they shall never die.
We're there time for further refec-
ton we might say to the young PEG
pie, in view of the heroic sacrifices OF
those thus gone before you, tens of
thousands of them young like your
selves; in view Of the victories won by
them for you, go you forth from this
hour also to serve your country.
You may never, we hope, take the
musket for this purpose. Your country
needs and will need men and women
of good and pure character more than
it will need the mere soldier on field.
And now, comrades who still remain
in the land we defended, let us also
live the few days left us as we would
have our children and their children
live; aud let our lives be prayer and
a beneaiction in behalf of our land
the land Of the Stars and Stripes!

After the song taps were sounded
and as the last sound of the bug1e dice
away the soldiers took up the march to
Post hall and the members of the Sons
of Veterans went about the cemetery
to decorate the graves of their fathers
who had fallen in the strife.
