Mrs. John A Logan Believes That
Foreign immigration is the
Sole Cause.
SHIFTLESS PEOPLE

Beyond Cure.


Washington. June 29.-The census
proves that criminality has steadily in
creased in the United States since
1880 and that large per cent. of this
increase may be attributed to the as
tonishing increase in immigration.
In the old days when the immigra.
ton to the United States was from the
industrial and simple peasantry of the
Old World, no such unfavorable con.

New World.
But with the development of the
great resources of the country and the
rapid multiplicity of railroads and
| other means of transportation, togeth.
er with the frequent communication
with the Old World, has brought in
their train hordes of idle, vicious, rev
olutionary, and shiftless people who
do not come to the United States to
make permanent homes, but to engage
in the labor necessary to the carrying
out of some great enterprise, from
which they derive high wages
On the completion of the work they
return to the Old World to be revolu
tionists in their own lands as they
have been in the United States.
Many of them have not taken any

crosby of the government or the lib

been dissatisfied, ripe for every con

the government.
To expect to reform these people is
almost hopeless task, and yet, ma
jority of the citizens of this republic
believe that in the future they will be
brought to respect law and order and
conform to the manners and customs
of the republic.
While the country is making mar.

much yet to do to change the con-
ditions of the ignorant and INDECENT,
Perhaps one of the most effective
measures to accomplish this would be
to organize and carry out some plans
by which the idle, vicious class could
be induced to adopt agricultural en-
ployment.
IT. the millionaires of the country
would put as much money into a
colonization scheme that would enable
these people to establish homes on the
land as they do for homes for the
homeless. hospitals, asylums, poor
houses, and places that house paupers
and criminals, we should find that
much more could be accomplished and
these creatures could be saved for use
fulness and good citizenship
In way, the Salvation Army and
some enterprisiIy individuals have
done much, but the necessity for
money with which to carry this out
has prevented this remedy from being
adopted to as large an extent as it
should be.
The aggregating of great numbers
of persons in the cities who speak
foreign languages and expecting them
to live together in peace and harmony
is great mistake. They are con-
stantly misunderstanding rules and
regulations of municipal, state, and
United States authority.
They become jealous of each other
and are so addicted to dissipation that
they are constantly engaging in con-
flicts that terminate in tragedies.
Any attempt to force them to obey
the laws is resented and consequently
they bring upon themselves the Sc
verest penalties of the law
Revenge seizes them as being their
only resprt for securing what they
deem their rights or being satisfied for
the wrongs which they think have
been inflicted upon them.
Isolation from temptation, fresh air,
healthful occupations, proper food, and
a conservative government would do
more for the ignorant emigrants and
natives than anything else that could
possibly be done. Little can ever be
accomplished in the great cities where
vice is always before them and where
immortality and dissipation run riot
in persons. 1t may be long time be-
fore anything of this kind is done, but
if we examine closely the cause of
our greatness, we will find that it or

Killing Birds Robs Posterity.

New York-William butcher, presi-
dent of the National Association of Au-

meeting of the association Tuesday that
Americans were robbing posterity and
permitting an annual crop loss of $780,
100000, due to destruction of insect
eating birds. He called for a fund to
fight the commercial bird killers in
every state legislature.
''If we permit the heritage of wild
birds that still exist to be further
wasted and destroyed. we are robbing
our children" Mr.. butcher rtold the
delegates.
THE public as trustees are in honor
bound to preserve these wild birds for
those that follow us. We do not wish
our children to feel about us as we do
about our fathers, who permitted the
wanton and useless extinction of the
bison and the wild pigeon. In the mat
ter of bird legislation there is no rest
ing place; the only proce of satisfac-
tory bird protection Is eternal watch
of legislatures, for in an unguarded
moment an amendment may be
