Immigration Unrestricted.

The recent formation of the organ
ization which seeks to promote i'm
migration to this country ought to
stir up American citizens to sense OF
duty to the country. Recent statistics
show that we received over 1000, 600
newcomers last year. They also show
that the countries from which in 9th
er years the bulk of our new citizen
ship came sent us the smallest num-
Der of immigrants in 1906, while other
countries, as Russia, Italy, Austria
Hungary, sent the bulk of the immi
grants. 1t is admitted by the commits
sioner of immigration that those who
arrived last year were distinctly in
ferior to their predecessors.
Now, while there is every reason
why the United States should be ex-
tremely hospitable to all who desire
to enjoy the protection of our institu
tions or take advantage of the oppor-
tunities for rising i'll the social or
business scale, it is certainly the duty
of the people to protect their institu-
tions from destruction or from such
serious modification as would practic-
ally make an end of them. 1t is pleas
ant to think of our republic as the
asylum of the oppressed, but it is not
the highest wisdom which makes it a
dumping ground for the refuse of Eu-
rope. There is no obligation upon US
to lose virtue in the effort to take care
of the ruined lives which Europe is
too glad to send here.
Various efforts have been made dur
ing the last decade to secure the pass
age of proper law restricting i'm
migration, but these have all been de-
feated by the powerful lobby which
some mysterious influence has main
tained at the federal capital for the
express purpose of preventing the ad
option of such legislation. A bill pos
sess;ng many admirable features is at
the present time pending in congress.
strong enough to delay its passage last
year and there is reason to fear that
they may be equally successful now.
1t seems singular that already the ad-
vocates of unrestricted immigration
are so powerful. 1t is evident that un
less something definite is accomplish
ed soon the country will be entirely
at the mercy of its alien invaders.
There ought to be no obligation up
on the part of this country to admit
through it's unguarded gates SO many
who have achievednothing but failure
in the home land. Already the rapid
increase of crime by our alien visitors
from various sections of Europe shows
the dangers by which the country is
confronted. The law which provides
for CONSULAR inspection before the i'm
migrant sails from his home would be
great improvement upon existing
conditions and would unquestionably
permanently detain upon the other
side many who under other circum-
stances would become a burden and a
menace here. The educational test is
not 80 vital. A man who has record
for sobriety and good citizenship al
home would make a good citizen here,
even If he isn't able to read and write.

THE WILD BALSAM APPLE.
Its Seed Holders Are Suggestive of
Lace Purses.

1t. Seed Holders Are Suggestive of
Lace Purses.
In the brooks Of autumn in certain
places many little lacelike bags may
be seen drifting along with the cur
rent or stranded by the shore. They
are the inner coats or bodies OF the
wild balsam apples (Echinocystis loba-
ta) which have dropped from the vines
overhanglng the stream and now float
lightly away with their large seeds.
The green prickly bag of the balsam
apple itself began TO form in late sum
mer, and by autumn it has withered
and faded to pale straw color. We
may see the trailing vines with their
shrunkeD pods decorating the brook
side bushes far into the winter. The
outer coat Of the pod gradually rots
away, and the inner bag or seed car
rier is now released and exposed as
delicate. webby network Of tough
fbers A thin skin or membrane flls
up the space between these meshes,
but that also falls away through the
action of water and the winter storms
until only the bal-like tissue of the
purse" is left These little purses, be-
ing extremely light and buoyant, float
far and wide over the submerged
swamp lands in late autumn, carry
ing the seeds with them and so plant
ing the vine in new situations. If, how
ever, we take these seeds home with
US and plant them there. Mother Earth
will suitably reward us In the follow
ing year with vines of our own. They
will spring up and spread rapidly until
all the stone walls and garden fences
are decorated with the tracery of their
stems and star shaped leaves. - st.
