In many circles throughout the coun-
try there is in progress a serious dis
cusSion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of curb
ing the immigration flood. This nat
urally has led up to the question of the
immigrant his value or his menace,
and his position in the social machine.
The New York Herald has invited
opinions on the subject. and presents
the views Of three men who may reason
ably be said to have studied the
situation. We reproduce them below:
BY Sidney A. Reeve.
Former Professor of Steam and Hydrau-
lie Engineering at Worcester Polytech-
mic Institute and Lecturer at Harvard.
Current conversation and the peri
Odical press are full of condemnation
of our lax restriction of immigration.
All the evils to which our country is
heir are explained by the undesirable
horde" of aliens which is pressing into
the land with ever increasing volume.
The steady increase in criminality
which has now become unquestioned
is attributed to this overflow of the
undesirables from the older countries,
and these countries are accused of col
fusion with the steamship companies
toward a promotion of the volume of
migration That portion of our citi-
Zens which is interested in the labor
market is in chronic rebellion against
this influx of cheap labor, destined to
compete upon an un-American basis
with American labor Those of us
who are interested in purity of poll
tics see in the inf1owing torrent cur
rent supply of corruptibles upon
whose votes political machines may
be reared and supported.
Upon every side arises this denun-
citation of immigration. Nor is it re-
cent phenomenon. Look up the litera-
ture of immigration, and you will find
the decade of 1S40-1S50 supplying it's
fair quota of kicks in goodly proper
ton to what our increased population
puts forth to-day. For so years we,
as a nation, regardless of whether our
continent yet contained undeveloped
territory, as in 1S47, or undevelope6
possibilities, as in 1907, have been OBJ
jecting strenuously to immigration.
Meanwhile the immigration has
been steadily increasing, except dur
ing the period of the civil war, and at
the end of the 60 years we enjoy phe
nomenal prosperity.
There is an inconsistency here
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1907-09-12
What Is immigration Worth?

To which class, then, belongs the
average immigrant? Is he producer
or dissipator of net wealth and NOR
atty? If the former, what is our i'm
migrant worth. net, to the nation?
The law says that dead male adult
constitutes a loss of $4,000 to his fam
lily. In this it strikes rough average
and draws no distinction of any sort
between individuals. So it is hard to
get at it in that way.
The average adult male immigrant
(and half of our immigrants are of
this sort) earns at least $500 per an
mum soon after his arrival. Rather,
that is what he is paid. My estimates
have led me to state, elsewhere, that
his actual productivity is from three
to four times that amount, the balance
going to pay the cost of doing "busi-
ness" with what he produces and con-
sumes. But the benefit of this doubt
will be left, for the present, to the op-
position.
The right will be reserved, however,
to class all immigrants under this fig
ure, for the majority of them have
been here long enough to expand their
income beyond $780, That is to say,
most of those who were classed as
children at the time of entry are now
adults. Of the women some are off
set in their unproductivity by the men
who earn more than $500; the rest
are producing more than that value in
the form of children.

somewhere between the theories of
the pessimists and the facts, and a big
one, too.
What are the facts?
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1907-09-12

known. In their fatherlands drunken
ness is a minor crime, whereas in
Great Britain and America it is ma
jor one. And as to patience under
conditions inviting to revolt, America
is proud of standing first among all
the non-Latin peoples of the temperate
zones in her promptness to resent pub
Iicly, by the passive rebellion of the
strike, if got by actual violence, the
presence of conditions unnecessarily
hard. Our complaint against the i'm
migrants must be that they are too
patient and submissive for American
standards, rather than that they are
too violent and resentful.
AS to illiteracy, it is true that the
immigrants are below our standard.
What of it? Education is a thing of
itself, neither conducive to nor antag-
onistic to morality and happiness. 1t
may be a powerful tool to both. But
it is often used as an equally power
full tool against both. Our educated
classes are not always the happiest
ones. Our worst and biggest crooks
are the educated ones.
In short, a man is of value to a
country solely according to whether
he produces more, of material or of
morality, than he consumes. He may
produce very little, yet if his wants
are less than that little he is still a
profitable investment for the nation.
He may, on the other hand, apparently
produce millions; yet if he consumes
more than that, or if he undermines
our standards of morality, or If he
is found to produce actually much
less than he apparently produces, he
may be great source of loss, in spite
Of his prominence and power
The people understand this WELL
1t is their habitual application of this
new economic trysquare to men in the
public eye which is now making mil
lionairism so uncomfortable.

Various recalcitrant corporations which
have been resting in fancied security in
tue belief that the Vermont Supreme
court would declare the weekly payment
law unconstitutional win need to cover
their retreat in the best possible manner
now that decision has been rendered
declaring the law to be valid. States
attorneys, II they do their duty, win
see TO It at once that the railroads and
othcr corporations In which tho still
mooted question Of existing contracts
does not enter, begin TO pay each week
rather than twice month or monthly. A
whole year has already passed since the
lawmakers Of the state enanted the
statute, and 1t has been held in allegiance
practically over since, although some
corporations have taken tho lawmakers
at their evident intent and have paid
their employees BY tho week. IL Is time
for the requirement to have full force.

ANGLING HONESTLY.

That Honest Anglers association,
which is projected in New York, viii
not lack for members if it should throw
branch over into the state of Vermont
To be eligible to membership one should
be able to find his recreation in fat
and exciting effort to get something that
IS made for human use in way that
involves some hardship, a little risk, a
good deal Of skill and patience and plen'
ty Of outdoor life, says DR.. Henry van.
Dyke of Princeton, N, j., who is the
prime mover In the cause. To be briefeI
and less exclusive, eligibility to an as
ISOLATION of this sort should be extended
to all thoso who are neither fish hogs
nor scamps, we should say.
There you would have multitude Of
workers to prevent the stripping Of the
waters Of the country, which is the ulti-
mate aim Of the projected association.
Old men and young man, professional
men aud manual laborers, artisans and
farmers, one and all would flock to the
banner of the associationy and they
might not be skilled anglers. either.
Hence the need for the greater limits to
membership.
Here in Vermont there is a sizeable
army, which, even if not bound by actu-
al organization, Ii united by common
feeling Of duty and decency to the
same purposes as that Of this Honest
Anglers association. The Law often
times helps them by constituting in what
way Ash may be caught and sometimes
BY limiting the amount Of a creel To be
taken, as in the case of the trout law
recently passed. Nevertheless, they
would he pleased to add their moral sup
port to worthy undertaking OF this
nature, If by allying themselves with
tho proposed organization they could adj
vance the interests Of true sport. They
hasten TO add approval to tho sentiment
AZ that chief angler, Grover Cleveland.
who wrote for the sponsors Of the pre-
Hminary meeting IN New York the fol-
lowing motto for Tho association: TO
encourage the adoption Of angling meth
eds whiah will make the wholesale
slaughter Of fish impossible and increase
he sport OF taking fair number in a
fsir way
Nay the Honest Anglers grow and
