The Immigration Question.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: A recent
editorial in The National Tribune con-
corning the class of immigrants arriving
in the United States during 1903 deserves
rhe serious consideration of all people,
Your discrimination of nationalities is a
very just one. The British, German and
Scandinavian. peoples are welcome
throughout the civilized world, as they
represent an industrious, conservative
force making always for higher citizen
ship and soon develop into good Ameri-
cans. The Latin and Asiatic races are
nor desirable acquisitions. Their vague
IDEAS of liberty are too closely allied to
licenses. they are but partial civilized,
and not prepared Cor the duties and re-
sponsibilities of citizenship. Recently l
saw an Item in the daily press stating that
the Italian Government maintained q
Commission whose duty it was to give to
intending immigrants from Italy to this
country instruction in few simple words
of cur language and how to evade the ex-
aIninati0ps made at our ports, and that
before this commission the riffraff OF the
kingdom was brought as q preliminary to
practical deportation. If this be true, II
is time our Government asserted the in
herent right of self-protection and refused
all Italian immigrants. The Poles, Aus
TRANS and Hungarians are all turbulent
classes, and form in our cities. whittier
they mostly drift, mass Of ignorance.
superstition and crime which Is difficult TO
manage. Accustomed tosan obedience en-
forced by the bayonet, they can not under
stand any law but that Of might.

But this class Of peopIe is necessary 70

But this class of people is necessary to
do the heavy work. 1t is an open qtes-
ton whether for the present railroad build
ing has not come to a halt. The South
claims that the labor market in that sec
ton has become congested. The rapid in
crease of the black race since the war has
formed this condition. Why can not this
native force be utilized to build railroads,
canals, work in the mines and other en-
pigments requiring mostly physical force?
for the negro is always more powerful
than the swarthy Latins who swarm upon
our shores. Also, he is far more docile
and cheerful, and in many ways preferable
to our unwelcome visitors Why not ex-
ercise the right Of self-protection, and
oblige Latin Europe to care for those
whom it has kept on the lowest level Of
humanity for generations, and let MS hep
up those who are born to our land? Will
not such a course aid in solving the race"
problem in America. In Switzerland. if
am rightly informed, foreigner must pay
into the national treasury given sum Of
money to secure the right of citizenship.
This effectually bars out Undesirable ac-
cessions. Why not adopt a similar plan
in this country? Anyway, hope you will
keep up the good fight to protect us from
these hordes from central and southern
Europe.-E. C. KINCAID, Eigin, Ill.

SENATOR BOlES PENROSe.
4 Faithful Friend 70 the Veterans q Al
Times.


EDrToR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The time
10 right here when the veteran OF the great
war Is in need of friends who are In public
life: men who can make good.
During the political campaigns, and es-
pecially when President and Congress
are to be chosen, profuse and lachrymose
saved the Union" and the people on the
stump never tire Of extolling the services
Of the veteran. After the votes are
counted many, yes, large majority of
| these professional promisers set about sup
planting the old soldier, whose duties to
the Government he does well, with the
young men, many of them political loafers,
thus I'm many instances forcing those who
are within the shadows that are growing
longer with frightful rapidity to march
slowly In the twilight to the shelter af-
| forded by the Soldiers Homes. This un-
speakable cruelty is unnoticed by the great
busting world, except by few.
And so when the veteran locates true
friend. one who keeps his promises, polit-
ically and otherwise, his gratitude prompts
him to make it known. Congress has
some men who are entitled to the fullest
recognition and praise from the old COM
rades, while there are others that make
no secret of their adverse attitude toward
the interests of the men whose bravery
made it alone possible for their Jobs as
Senators and Representatives to exist.
Names could be mentioned at this time
and they may be later-showing up these
men who 60 out of their way to make the
pathway of the veteran thorny one.
Pennsylvania has two Senators who
| never tire in recognizing the rights of the
men who kept the flag doing business all
| over this favored land. Mr. Quay served
his country as a soldier, and it would be
snrpiusage to say that he served Loyalty
and faithfully. But Mr.. Penrose was
born only few months before the rebel
lion began. His firm friendship for the
veteran, however, goes far beyond the av-
erage National legislator who belongs to
the Grand Army. A look at the Con-
gressional Record is but faint index to
his work for the veteran and the dependent
heirs Of the veteran. He never tires in his
efforts along these lines, it being labor of
love and gratitude that he enjoys. and he
is ably supplemented by the indefatigable,
alert and bright comrade who holds the
place of the Senator's private secretary,
Col. W. X. Andrews.
The Pennsylvania comrades are inor-
dinately fortunate in having these men at
the National Capital to guard their inter-
ests, and it is pleasure to state that
geegra phicai lines do not eonfine their
labors to the great State they so ably rep
resent.-E. A. KELLER, Senior Vice Com
mander, Department OF Illinois G. A. II.

THE STARS ON THE FLAG.
A Veterans Daughter Has Plan for Arrang.
ing Them,


ing Them.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: saw an
item of yours OF last week concerning our
grand National emblem, "Old Glory"
beg you to permit another expression con-
corning the same. 1 agree with you that
''Old Glory" is much too sacred and costly
to be tempered with much or often. But
one fact is obvious, that the blue space is
becoming too small to give a good effect
for the many stars that are continually
taking their place OF honor among those
already represented; but do you not say
Let them continue to file into the Union.
and make room. that their lights also may
help to extend the rays OF a Christian civ
ilization, until all earth's dark recesses of
heathendom be transformed thereby"
Permit me to present a sketch, to enlarge
the portion of blue and yet change the
flag very little. Retain the f3 bars, with
the red for the -selyedge,. and. extend the
blue from the first TO the 18th stripe; then
let the blue extend in the length OF the
flag until the blue forms a square. Next,
the order OF the stars, and "honor to whom
it is due" Are not tie 13 original States
the cornerstone" of this grand Republic,
and they the bearers OF a cross, painted as
with the blood of martyrs for this now
great Republic? They won the Crown of
Liberty, OF which "Old Glory" is the en-
blem. Therefore, let the 13 stars be of
red, and form the outline for the remain
ing stars, and there will be no trouble
about arranging, though the number be
odd or even.- Place a red star in each cor
ner and in the center of the blue, then
place two between the center and the
corner stars, and this makes the Is origi-
nal stars OF red, in form OF an X, sur
rounded by the, remaining, stars, of white,
break the monotoneus confusion of many
stars, ard make beautiful blending.
Whatever number of stars are remain
ing after the 10 are located, divide by 4.
and with the present number. gives eight
stars to scatter in each triangular space.
AS the number increases, il by one, then
prefer the space next to the flagstaff; il
by two, then advance to the uppermost tri-
angular space; il by three, then prefer a
place in the next adjoining triangular
space, and the. fourth addition will make
the even divide, and SO contirie for all
time. Make the-stars of equal size, and
all but the IS white, as heretofore. I
think this the most simple, yet effective
design for its improvement. Please re-
port approval to The National Tribune.
