DOCTOR MACARTHUR'S TALK.
Restriction of Immigration the
 Great Problem.
He Says Nearly Million of Foreign CTS Have Come to Our Shores the Past Year-Illiteracy Brought By Them is Astonishing.


 New York Nov 27.-RestrictiOn of Immigration was urged aS The first great problem that confrOnts the American people" by the Rev Dr F. $. MacArthur of the Cavalry Baptist church in his Thanksgiving day ser man.
 In the last fiscal year. said Dr Macarthur nearly 100000 foreigners have come to our shores The illit- eTacy that they brought is astonishing ly great and the vicious tendency cor responds to the illiteracy They are for the most part from countries whose people arc not readily assimilat- ed to American ideas and ideals. ''SenatOr Lodges bill would exclude Il great number of these ignorant for eigners, and that bill or some other like it must be passed or our most cherished institutions will be endau- gered if not destroyed.
 Our naturalization laws are loose enough in themselves" asserted the speaker, and even those laws are not enforced. Men are not citizens who are ignorant of the first principle of the dignity and the duty of an Ameri- can citizen and I hope the day will come when no man will be made a cit izen who cannot read in English the constitution he swears to support, and no man be made a voter who cannot read the ballot he casts.
 T put no color line around the bal lot box, but I put around it an intelli- gence line. l would permit no ig- nOrant negro to vote, not because he is black. but because he is ignorant; would permit no ignorant white man to vote. Some of Us saw men march ed up to the ballot boxes like drOves of cattle, and it was pitiful for any pa triOtic American to witness such a performance. The weakest element in our republican form of government is the rule in our great cities. It must sadly be admitted that in this respect the republican form of government is a failure.''
