OPINION
Americans.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
The Southern people are, first OF all,
American citizens. They have the
American instinct Of fair play. They
believe in the democratic tenet OF obe-
dience 70 the will Of the majority as
honestly EXPRESSED through popular
sovereignty-not grudging. sullen ac-
quiescence, but cheerful, generous ac-
ceptance. popular plurality Of nearly
100000 votes attests that Theodore
Roosevelt distinctly reflects the major
ity VIII Of the national electorate. He
has received his high oflcial commits
sion as a handsome certificate Of per-
sonal confidence from the hands of his
fellow Americans. AS President OF tho
Republic he is entitled TO the loyal good
will and well wishes OF his country
men. The narrower aspects OF parti-
.ssnship should not be permitted to sur.
vive the counting OF the ballots. We
are all American citizens before We ar,
Democrats or Republicans, and tn,
President is not. or should not be. IN,

ERTAIN OF our contemporaries are
~ discussing the question raised re-
Gently by a denizen Of Delaware as to
whether there is a narrow spirit OF pro-
vincialism in this community which
would deny all right OF leadership to
any but native born Delawareans. The
Morning News denies st half heartedly
mot true, but don't continue to Of
fend."
The Sunday Star doesn't believe that
any such prejudice exists. and calls it
IAN Absurd Notion" and absurd 1t Is.
How many native Delawareans there
are who have been good citizens In ev-
cry sense Of the word-capable, ener-
getlc men--have had their ambitions
checked and their plans go for naught7
How many have aspired to leadership,
ana have found themselves relegatod to
the ranks? Yet, generally speaking,
they have taken their defeats like men,
swallowing their medicine with smiling
lips.
And hasn't the history Of Wilmington
shown that a goodly number OF our cit
izens first saw tho light Of day else
whore? They have come from many
quarters from tho farms OF Chester
county, from other cities, and even
from foreign lands. And have there
been any barriers placed in their path?
Why one can harly turn round with
out humping into some good citizen
whose place Of nativity is outside Of the
State. But we have probably forgotten
Il.
These denizens are on our news
papers, IN our banks. in public Offices
helping to conduct out great manufac-
turing establishments and some are
promoters seeking to interest local cap.

What DO we care where a man comes
from so he puts himself on a plane with
our own people? But he must not OK
pect extraordinary favors just because
he is a stranger. We are too big to be
provincial, and we fatter ourselves that
we have too much breadth. We arc
on the great highway between the
North and the South, between the East
ana the West Tho great river that
runs past our doors leads out to all the
great ports OF tho world. on the old

tivo-born daughters. Provincial! No;

Immigration HERE
DECREASED LAST YEAR

washington. Dec. 5.--Immigatlon
to the United States decreased A. .176
during the last fiscal year, and 1t is a
notable fact that the moral, intellectual
and physical qualifications OF the inn
migrants admitted to this country in
the past year are higher than ever
heretofore have been chronicled. yhese
are two salient features of the annual
report OF Frank p. Sargent, commits
sloner general of immigration, which
was made public.
The report says that during the past
fiscal year Sl2,S7O aliens arrived In the
United States, OF whom $40, 100 were
males and 26S,770 females, an increase
in the females, as compared with last
year. Of 1880, and a decrease in the
males OF 64,O46. OF the total number
admitted s59s could read but not write,
l6S, ,903 could neither read nor write,
and It Is presumed that the remainder,
64O.tO4. could both read and write. 1t
also appears that 103.750 Of these
aliens had already been to this coun-
try. $685. brought with them $50 or
more each, and sol $50 brought each
less than $50. The total amount OF
money shown to officers by these S12,-
$40 aliens was S2O,9s4SsS. OF S4.776,-
$40 more than was brought by the
S57046 arrivals Of the previous year.
or the aggregate steorage immigra-
tlon during the year. 767, ,9SS came from
Europe. 261S6 from Asia and 1871
from all other countries. The greatest
number OF immigrants, 1926, came
from Italy, a decrease of 1896 from
last year, while 177,156 came from
Austria Hungary, a decrease Of 2S,S5b.

OF tender heart-lntorest, spiced with ir-

situations. has TO its credit a record Of
hearty approval and gratifying financial
results in other cities where il has ap-

strength lies in its interesting and un-

OF melodranatic favorites, and the scenic
