QUALITY OF IMMIGRATION.

In spite of the fears expressed in some quarters as to the quantity Of
 immigrants that flock to the United
 States, it would seem that If there is
 any social or industrial danger in im- migration it comes not so much from quantity as from quality. Significant is a statement just issued by the I'm migration Restriction League of Bos- ton which has compiled tables showing the change in the quality of immigra- tion coming to this country within the past twenty years.
 In 1887, for instance, Germany con- tributed 22 per cent of the total immi- grafton to the United States, Italy 10 per cent, Austria-Hungary 9 per cent, and Russia 6 per cent. Within twenty
 years we find this change-for the fig fires are for 1907: Germany is now con
 tributing only 3 per cent, Italy 24 per
 ient, Austria'Hungary 2l per cent, and Russia % per cent.
 Undoubtedly among the most valu. able immigration that the United States has received must be reckoned that from Germany. Quiet orderly, indus tious, thrifty, the work the Germans have done in building up the great north and central divisions of this con tinent car hardly be overestimated. If we are to have immigrants, it would seem to be highly desirable that we should encourage those of the best and most useful class, and discourage the immigrants from those countries that send us their shiftless lazy trouble mak- CTS.
 The Boston league for restriction of immigration expresses the opinion that the flood of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe has done much to drive the German immigrants into other fields. It declares:
 ''The reasons for this falling of are various, such as tho development of in. dustrial life in Germany and the divert ing of German immigration to South America, where larger returns are open to them. Without doubt one of the most important reasons, however, is the dislike of Germans to competing with the lower grades of Slavic and South Italian labor, which has come to America in such large numbers in the last twenty years, displacing German workingmen in the Pennsylvania coal mines and in many of the industries in which factory labor is employed. This reason is, indeed, given by many of the ! Germans themselves, and the story of 1 shis supplanting of German labor is i'm nediately written home by those al ,eady here, and this prevents the immi l grafton of many who would otherwise ,ome.''
 This is matter that certainly de erves the best attention of our imrni 'ration authorities. Hardly anything ould be more important than the secur- nc of desirable immigrants while put ing restrictive checks on undesirable We are quick enough to esent the immigration of Asiatics; we hould be equally keen on keeping out hose immigrants who, once establish. d here under tho protection of our avs, maintain their horrible secret SO ieties, preach anarchy and the violent orts of socialism; who get what they an from the country and do little in

PLAN WILL REDUCE
SOUTHERN VOTE 100
Will Give to Northern States
on Basis of Population In
crease of $50 Delegates
"Allies" Have Not, How
ever, Won the Passage of
Their Resolution.
BY Associated Press.

Chicago, June 13.7Details Of the
plan of the allies to make fight
on the floor of the republican nation
al convention to reduce the represen-
tation of southern states, were made
public today by Representative James
f. Burke. of Pennsylvania, manager
for Senator Knox.
The resolution adopted by the al
lies is that the basis of representa-,
tion in the republican national con
vention snail be, that each state be
entitled to four delegates at large and
one additional delegate for each 10000
votes, or a majority fraction thereof,
cast at the last preceding election for
republican electors, and two delegates
from each territory, District of Co
lunnbia. Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico,
and the Philippines. The introduce
ton of this resolution was the direct
outcome of dissatisfaction by the rep
resentatives of the "allies" with the
manner in which the recent contests
Before the national committee were
decided.
II the resolution is adopted, it will
result in reduction of about 100
delegates fron southern states, which
snvariably go democratic and in
creases nearly $50 from northern
states, thus destroying the possibil-
fly of a few northern states aligned
with the solid delegations from the
southern states controlling the repub-
Gcan conventions in the future.
