Of His Observations.

The foreign born citizens of the United
States were championed by DR.. z. A.
Steiner of Iowa College in q talk before
q large audience at the 7. NJ. C.. A. build
ing yesterday. DR.. Steiner has gained a
great deal of first hand knowledge on the
subject of immigrants by making six
trips from Europe to America IN the steer
age and by spending much time in those
parts Of European countries from which
the immigrants are now coming.
He said that the immigrants is initiative
and that the duty OF the American is to
see that the immigrant initiates the
stronger side Of the native born. SO that
the result will be a good citizen. He
declared that there should be no fear tha,
the immigrant would establish his own
tongue and customs. as In time he invar.
iably becomes part Of the American
people. adopting the ideals and speech OF
the native American.
Speaking of the complete change in
physical characteristics Of the immigrants
and their descendants here. he said:
1T is an anthropological miracle going
on before us. In generation the
Semitic sometimes loses his racial marks
Last night I talked to a German Jew
He was Of the second generation Of his
family in America. I defy any one to
tell that he was Semitic from his per-
sonal appearance or his speech
He ridiculed the idea that the money
sent and taken to Europe by foreign born
workers here was matter to be feared.
He declared that the sum was nothing
compared with the $9oO.0OOOO0 which
American fathers have spent in buying
titles for their daughters

chase these stamps and place them on

MANY PRAISE Or. kENT'S WORK
TRIBUTES TO MEMORY OF LATE
PASTOR OF PEOPLES CHURCH.
His Manifest Desire at All Times,
Says Senator Owen, Was to Be Of
Service to His Fellow-Men.

Tribute was paid to the memory of Rev.
Alexander Kent at Pythian Temple last
night by gathering of many people from
different sects and representing many
walks of life. The great respect which
was held for the founder of the People s
Church was voiced in speeches and an
ecdotes of Mr.. Kent's life.
Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma
told the audience that in his state DR..
Kent had done great things toward OBJ
tanning the initiative and referendum and
that his manifest desire at all times was
to be of service to his fellow-men. He
continued
The greatest of all the problems. in
human way, is that OF more equal
distribution of the products of human
labor. The easiest solution of that prob
lem will probably be the establishment of
the initiative and referendum. Dr. Kent
was for years leader in the movement
for the establishment of that principle,
and when my own state was in the proc
ess Of formation Dr. Kent strongly ad-
vised the people to force all candidates
for delegates TO, the constitutional con-
vention to pldege themselves to provide
for this in the organic law of the new
commonwealth. DIR. Kent's efforts bore
fruit in Oklahoma, and the people there
who are the friends of human liberty will
ever hold his memory in honor and es-
teem.''
Rabbi Louis Stern said: 1.-The character
of DR.. Kent may be described in few
words-he was a gentleman"
DR.. Thomas E. Will, chairman of the
committee on arrangements, told of the
broad scope of Dr. kent's views and Of
the desire to emphasize 1t at the meeting.
