THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.
Senator Latimer Says We Do Not Get
Europe's Best People.


Senator Latimer Of South Carolina
who arrived in London this morning
after several months spent on the con
tinent as q member Of the special ini
migration commission, declares him
self highly pleased with what he hai
discovered concerning the attitude o.
the various countries toward emigra
ton to the United States and with 'h=
reception accorded to the commission
wherever 1t went.
Naturally 1 cannot anticipate th'
official report" said Mr.. Latimer
but l may say that 1 was particular
ly struck by the efforts being made
ly struck by the efforts being MADE
at every port visited to prevent the
shipment of undesirable persons. The
strict application Of the entrance re-
quirements. the fines imposed by the
treasury department, and the cost Of
repatriating rejected applicants have
served a good purpose. Wherever en-
igrants embarked for the United States
l find elaborate sanitary precautions
are taken. In Italy, France, Belgium
Holland and Germany, the principa
ports Of all Of which countries l visit
ed, l found the arrangements almost a:
elaborate as at Ellis Island for sorting
over prospective emigrants. The coun'
tries I visited are apparently discour'
aging emigration. Italy Is the only ex'
ception to this rule. The result Of this
Is that we are getting more than oui
share Of material from southern Eu-
rope and not enough from the north.
Il found, as a rule. that the classes
from which the emigrants are drawn
are remarkably we'll informed on wha'
life in America Is like. There wa:
scarcely one Of all the persons l inter
viewed who did not have friend oil
relative already in the United States
and thus knew all about wages, living
etc.
What 1 saw, though, tended to dis
prove the old traditions that only the
best and bravest cross the seas.
found that the best men and women
were generally satisfied and prosper
Gus under local conditions. These dc
not emigrate.
THE commission was at first regard
ed with considerable suspicion in Ger
many, but as soon as our OBJECT was
known, every courtesy was shown US
Accompanied by an official interpreter

learned, as far as possible, their motive
for going, their expectations and plans

could hardly recognize them, they were
so clean and well dressed. A band was
playing for them, and all were reJoic-
ing at the prospect Of the voyage.
Il do not think sufficient attention
has been paid in the United States to
regulating the destination Of these new
citizens. We. can hardly expect Hol-
landers to succeed as cotton growers
or southern Italians to prosper In the
rigorous north. In Lombardy / found
people ideally suited to the climate and
other conditions of my native South
Carolina. This suggests that many
present problems could be solved II

QUITE a number of our exchanges
seem to think it quite funny to ask
WHO is the Junior Senator?" and &c
on to argue that half the people do not
know. We don't think much of the
joke 1t is quite true that Senator
Latimer is not 50 well known as Sena-
tor Tillman; but most people who are
able to describe the nature of the Of
flee held by Senator Tillman, are also
able 70 tell who the junior senator is
So far as any notable achievement by
either is concerned, one is able to
claim quite as much as the other
The most distinctive difference be-
tween the two men is in the matter OF
notoriety.

ABUSES in government can only grow
out of neglect of duty by individual
citizens. 1t is the duty Of citizens not
only to be careful in the selection OF
their public representatives in whatever
capacity, but to continue to watch them
after their selection and installation
The official who does his full duty Is
entitled to have the people know 1t
and the official who proves negligent
or incompetent should also be kept In
mind. 1t is the duty of the citizen tc
watch

AT Denver, Colorado, a few days
ago, a brokerage firm sought to pre-
vent it's telegraph operators from strik-
ing by means of restraining order
The court issued an injunction al
right, and put the matter in such shape
that the operators were unable to obey
the strike order without rendering
themselves liable to punishment fol
contempt of court. They solved the
difficulty, however, by resigning their
positions. The effect is practically the
same all around.

TEE Washington correspondent OF
the News and Courier says that there
Is a very strong belief among those in
a position to know that Congressman
Legare can have the position Of chair
man of the house committee on naval
affairs if he wants it. The belief Is
based on the fact that Speaker Cannon
is a warm admirer of Mr.. Legare and
that the representative from the First
is very popular generally. 1t would be
a very satisfactory appointment down
this way

Everybody knows that Andrew jack
son was a man of overbearing and un-
reasonable temper. In illustration of
this Parton relates q story to the effect
that when the president was a boy,
two other boys as a joke on him in
duced him to fire off a gun that they
had secretly loaded almost to the muZ-
zle. Their idea was to have him kick
ed over, and they were successful; but
he was on his feet almost in an In
slant and said to his companions: by
c., if either of you laugh, I'll kill
you" They did not laugh.
In view Of the letter above, we are
inclined to the opinion that If Jack
son were here now he would say to
the. editor Of the Charlotte Observer:
IF you don't quit trying to argue that
l haven't got sense enough to know
where l was born, I'll swat you with
my hickory stick

The Birthplace of Jackson.

The Charlotte Observer Swears that
Andrew Jackson was born in North
Carolina, and the News and Courier
stands to it that the rough and tum-
BILE old statesman was u native of
South Carolina.
James Parton thought that there was
no doubt of the fact that Jackson was
born in North Carolina, about half a
mile across the state line from Lancas-
ter county, and in his life of Jackson
cited u lot of testimony in proof, not
withStanding JackSOn's own belief to
the contrary, as set forth in the fam
Gus threatening proclamation that he
hurled against the people Of his ma
tive state"
No, The Enquirer is not hunting
trouble 1t has no desire to butt into
a controversy between such cham
pions as the editors of the News and
Courier and the Charlotte Observer.
Ii is too we'll satisfied with the good
terms il is enjoying with both for one
thing. and for another thing, it is afraid
that in this controversy both of the
editors have become so imbued with
the Andrew Jackson spirit that neither
of them would give up, even if con-
WINGED that the other was right.
But that Jackson always thought he
was born in South Carolina we are
quite convinced, and because Of little
more evidence on the subject this is
being written. In looking over the
files of The Pioneer published in York
Vile in 1924, few days ago, we ran
across the following, credited to THE
