Sees Peril in immigration.

Editor Courier.-The question of inn
migration in the United States is be-
coming more alarming every day.
Even the most conservative free-born
American citizen cannot but note the
effects of foreign thousands invading
our lands, from whose ranks chiefly
come the law-defying anarchist AL
though many of these foreigners, es-
pecially of the German, English and
Swedish nationality, become law-abid-
ing citizens. yet those from southern
Europe and Asia Minor can never be
admitted except as hindrance TO
our nation.
1t has been estimated by one writer
that nine-tenthS of all Italians coming
to this country are members of a Sc
cret organization known in detective
and police circles as the Malta"
which has committed divers robber-
les and horrible murders in different
sections of the country, particularly in
the large eastern centers. where the
foreign population is numerous. This
society has so successfully eluded
detectives that it is regarded more in
the light of the mysterious than the
horrible reality.
The only restriction placed on i'm
migrants is that they have health and
money, except in cases like conNicts,
polygamsts or people with shady rep
utationS.
Many immigrants are almost en-
tirely ignorant of civilization and not
only are thousands of them entirely
un-American in all their customs and
ideas but many are highly illiterate.
For Instance:
Italians morth), 40 per cent Hitter
ate.
Poles, 80 per cent illiterate.
Hebrew, is per cent illiterate.
Syrians, Al per cent illiterate.
Russian, p per cent illiterate.
Portuguese, 40 per cent iliterate.
Many countries not mentioned have
almost as high a per cent as this
among their immigrants coming TO
this country.
Another one of the great evils OF
this inflow of aliens is that 81 per
cent of them settle east of the Ale
ghenies. Here they congregate in
the foreign quarters of our large
cities and in time become perfect
menace 10 peace and order.
Italians are now coming in at the
rate of 65.42S year, 81 per cent oil
53,922 Italians settled in our western
states last year. AS all possible crowd
| in the towns it is no wonder our cities
grow so fast. But are they desirable
citizens? During the year 1909. 2,00C
| aliens applied for help who had beer
hin the United States only one year and
iwere entirely destitute.
BY referring to the pamphlet pub
| lished by the immigration department
