were born tired, this suspension OF la
Dor, either unnecessary or necessary,

million mark will be closely APP
preached, if not surpassed, in the inn
migration figures for 1903. The immi-
grants in 1902 numbered 64S,753, the

shores in single year. with the ex-
ception of 1882 when 7SS,992 arrived.
The increasing total, particularly
when we consider the changing char
acter of the immigration. is an en-
phatic warning that the laws must be
made more stringent.
