This is a generous and charitable
act on the part of the Jewish popula-
ton of this town, and is a very worthy
example for surrounding towns.
Modern history records but few acts
of cruelty SO barbarous as that now
being penetrated upon the Jews OF
Russia. 1t recalls the St. BarthOlo-
new to those who have read French
history; and is an act revolving in the
extreme to the Western civilization.
If Russian officials cannot prevent
this state of massacre and plumber, the
entire civilized world should intervene.

Note Of Warning.

DR.. 8. A. Knapp, of Houston has
sounded q mote of warning as to the
care which should be used In bringing
immigrants to the South. His view is
that the various schemes to rake the
slums of the East and North and OF
Eur Ope for people merely to fill in
waste land is . very poor one for the
South, and that it Is better for land
to lie idle for years than to fill it with
undesirable people who cannot be
gotten rid off,
DIR. Knapp is a man of known
ability and unquestionable character,
and his view of this immigration
problem is one that deser yes the care
full, conscientious consideration at the
hands OF the servants of the people of
all this fair Southland.
Besides schemes of business men
and officials of Europe to rid them
selves of the responsibility of caring
for vagabOnds and criminals-the
scum of the earth-and the desire OF
men of wealth and responsibility of
the north and east to pass these immi-
grants on, for others to bear the bur-
den Of educating and Americanizing
them, railroad and steamship COM
panies are financially Interested in
bringing all sorts and conditions of
people to this country. These immi-
grafton companies have their agents
in every large city of Europe.
1t would be wise for our officials
and commercial men. to say nothing
of the taxpayers of the South, to
heed the advice of DR.. Knapp.
We need immigrants, but We do not
need Asiatics nor the scum of Europe.
Let US fill III country with material
for good citizens or Let the land grow
trees; they are inexpensive and useful,
while courts and jsfls ere costly.
1t is fortunate, indeed, that the
Chattanooga Convention holds the
same view.
