The Restriction Of immigration.

The increase and activity of foreign
criminals in recent years led the last
Congress to enact q law which it is
hoped will operate to a large extent t.
KEEP out undesirable people from other
lands who seek to establish themselves
in this country The prisons. the in
sane asylums, and the poor houses of
this country are becoming more and
more filed with emigrants from for
eign lands, a large part OF whom I'M
der the present law would be excluded
from this country. But even as it
sands today the law, which was A
compromise upon a more drastic and
mucl better bill, is far short Of the re-
quirebents ot the country, Even the
Liberal immigration League recOg
niZcs this. and is willing for the adop-
ton Of prvision which extend to the
alien criminal the principle Of deporta-
tion which has proved so effective as
applied to the dependant classes. The
rule Of law should seek by every prac-
teal means to exclude from domicile
in this country foreigners who do not
give promise of developing into indus
tricus, law-abiding, self-supporting
citizens.
Lieutenant Petrcsino Of the New
York police department IS quoted as
saying that since the enactment of
criminal deportation law in Tunis ten
II nusand Sicilian criminals and semi
criminals have emigrated to this cOun-
try.
Foreign countries may deport their
criminals if they chose, but we have a
right to insist that the United States
shall not be made the dumping ground
for them.
We should never lose sight of the
debt we owe to the od-fcaring, hard
working immigrants who have borne
such a conspicuous and honorable part
in the development of our country's
splendid resources, but they. in COM
mon with others, will be glad to see
the bars put up against those people
from other lands who seek our shores
for the mere purpos" of preying upon
society.

The Change at Westbrook Seminary
Portland Snnday Tclegram.l D

cortland Sunday Telegram
The educational world Of Maine has
witnessed few more interesting con-
tests than that for the presidency of
Westbrcok Seminary recently brought
to an end by the election of Prof.
Arthur c. Yeaton, head of the science
department of the school, TO that posi-
ton. The contest was not between
the candidates for the office but be-
tween the trustees of the school, the
question at stake being whether the
seminary should be made strictly
CnlVcrSaliSt institution, with UniVer-
salst clergyman at its head. or should
break away from the ranks of that de-
nomination and take for its president
a man who was strictly an educator
with no church standing or position,
whatever. The latter was the stand
finally taken by the trustees and in SO
deciding they probably performed for
the school an act which, while it's full
significance and value may not be APP
preciated now, or a year from now,
will be seen in its true light in the due
course of time. That WestbrOOk Sem
mary will greatly benefit from the ac-
ton of the trustees is the belief of all
who know and appreciate what the
present day boarding school has to
contend with in its fight against the
constantly improving and advancing
public school. That Prof Yeaton is
the right man to lead the institution
over the rough road of the present into
the smooth going and prosperity of
the future, is the universal verdict Of
those who fborpJ0hiV understand IFS
position. Prof. Yeaton is a man of
broad ideas, a man who believes in
doing only the very highest grade
work, a friend of athletics, a splendid
business man and an excellent disci
plinarian and with his hand at the
helm Westbrook Seminary is assured
Il brilliant future in keeping with its
past honorable career.
