The cupidity OF steamship companies is largely
to blame for undesirable ncomers With gaudy
advertising they picture the glories of the New
World: the great possibilities OF securing better
living conditions, and, at the same time taking
unto themselves some OF the increment they can
not obtain in their own land owing to their
downtrodden conditions and the form of gov
ernment under which they are permitted to exist
This sort OF talk handed about an ignorant ele-
ment with an hereditary grievance, leads the
voyaeers to believe that law does not exist here,
and that they will be permitted to follow the bent
of their nclinations without stop or hindrancey
They must be taught to take their hats off 70

Another portion of the undesirable who come
to our shores is the fre-eating, educated para
noiacs, who, through heredity, or association
have come to believe that ii is their mission 90
teach the people that the world would be better
without law of any kind, and that the way to
bring about this condition is to slay lawmakers
and people in authority, or, in fact, anyone who
believes in restraint and prevention of their de-
sireS
This is the worst element These are they who
teach the doctrine of anarchy to their fellow coun-
trymen and receptive criminal minds in this
country
BY all means, bar this class.
Make it punishable offence to be proved
violent anarchist-for they are all murderers at
heart Keep them OUT and teach all other emil
grants that, while they can in time. become citi-
zens of the United States, and enjoy the prvi-
leges of that fact, that disobedience of the law
will not be tolerated, and that it will be best for
them to acquaint themselves with the institutions
and conditions under which they hope 10 live.

he said. But you can buy a farm

property tax especially unjust to the
farmer and believed that tax should
be levied solely upon real property.
He suggested that the State Taxation
and Revenue Commission should also
take up county taxation.
State Master Walker believed also
that there were evils in the present

Editorial Opinion
Provision For Old Aes.

Boston Journal.
Out Of these pu1lic hearings begun
by the state old age pension commits
sion may come some generally ac-
ceptable solution of a serious problem.
The subject is not a familiar one in
this country, but its very nature must
make 1t attractive to the average
citizen. Consequently publicity and
education viii tend IN arouse the wide
spread interest upon which. in the first
place, the success Of any practical pro-
gram will depend.
A small minority of the people are
even now working under a system
which provides for annuities in declin-
ing years. Some large corporations
have been active in encouraging this
form Of providence. One Of the speak
ers at the meeting Wednesday night
described a system established by a
bank whereby an Investment Of 8 per
cent of the years wages provides an
annuity Of 40 per cent of such wages
when the employe retires at the age of
65. This was y practical illustration
Of the voluntary pension plan. Another
speaker thought that a monthly de-
posit Of 81 in some savings bank.
undertaken, Of course. at a sufficiently
early age, would assure an annuity of
5000 at the retiring age Still another
advocated an assessment plan on a
sliding S~ale for the benefit of those
interested in old age annuities. Others,
with more or less conspicuous leanings
toward socialism, urged a system to
be supported by taxation. Perhaps
the most radical idea was that of tho
speaker who offered a solution which
would provide for a pro rata return of
money squeezed from the people by
high tariff
There Is a provision for old age an
nuities in the savings bank insurance
law passed by the Legislature last year

NIGHT WORKERS HEAR BRYAN
The Nebraskan, Bareheaded and
Smiling, Addresses "Soldiers
of the Day and Might"
at 8 A. M,

New York, Oct. 27.-Hon. William
j. Bryan, bareheaded and smiling,
stood on the Steps Of the city hall at
3 o'clock this morning where he was
introduced to a big crowd of night
workers who gathered there to hear
him speak.
When Mr. Bryan first appeared
the city hall park was lighted with
red fire but before the cheers ceased
the fire had died out and the candi-
date spoke in darkness, the few street
lamps affording but little light.
The crowd was composed largely Of
employees in the newspaper Offices on
Park Row, telegraph Offices, general
postoffice and nearby markets.
Chairman Mack, Mrs. Mack and
Mrs. Bryan accompanied the candi-
date. MIR. Bryan said the meeting was
to him one of the most interesting Of
the campaign. He said there is
} dignity in labor and that the time will
come when public sentiment will put
a badge Of disgrace not upon the man
who with brain and muscle contri-
/ butes to their nations welfare, but
upon the man who is willing is spend
1ln 1dleness the money that some of
hem have made.
He spoke for larger participation
the people in their own govern
E,nt.
If, he said, amid great cheer
81 have gained place in your
fidcnce it is simply because 1
fc taken YOU into my confidence -
faking up the issues Of the cam
dign Mr.. Bryan discussed publicity
bf campaign contributions, tariff,
+ trusts, pancS, etc, and as regards the
election Of senator's by Gircct vcL.
he declared he felt confident The
''peoplc Of New York adopting that
plan could not make any worse mis-
take than their legislature has done"
Speaking Of monopolics he said:
1--WE believe it will .evcr be safe
to have monopolics until God sends
us angels to take charge Of them,
and from our experience with those
in charge we are inclined to believe
they come not from above but from
below.
All factions Of tie Democratic par
~ in Brooklyn took part in today's
dcmon*tration for Mr.. Bryan. Letter
in the day it was planned for Senator
McCarrcn to bring the presidential
candidate to Brooklyn to address sew
eral meetings. one Of which at least
was arranged by Senator McCarrcn's
opponents.
