YANKEES TAKE 1T.
Most of Money Going Abroad Is
Theirs, Says Prof. Steiner.

New York, Feb. 25.-Prof Edward A.
Steiner Of Iowa college, who is deliver
ing a course of lectures at Columbia
university, is in favor of an unrestrict-
ed immigration into this country. In
his first lecture to the undergraduates
he said:
There is greater need in this coun-
try for men who are willing to work
with their hands than for men who
want to live by their wits. The 100000
immigrants who came to our shores
last year served far better purpose
than would an equal Of university grad
yates with hands uncalloused and
minds unwilling to begin work at the
bottom of the ladder.
1.-THE argument that the country is
impoverished by the withdrawal of the
money of the returning immigrants is
foolish. Most of the money that is
taken abroad goes in the wallets of
Yankee tourists, expatriates and
heiresses, who are marrying into the
nobility.
1.-The Pilgrim Fathers were merely
steerage passengers on par with those
of the present day"

form. Let us trace briefly the history
OF slavery. In this country under
the British rule, slavery was not only
permissible but was encouraged.
Slave trading vesses discharged their
cargOes in Boston and they were sold
0 the colonists in order to develope
lhe country. Massachusetts sold her
captive Indians by barter for the
Moors. History tells us that Endicot,
in writing to Gov. John Winthrop
used language something to this wise,
10 his EXcellency, the Governor. In
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, |
understand that fresh cargo has
been landed at Boston. ! would be
glad to have in exchange for captive
Indians, a man, a woman and half
grown boy Virginia had slavery
forced upon her by the Crowns, while
the charters of Georgia and South Car
olina absolutely prohibited the impor'
tation of slaves. Time rolled on and
in the formation of the federal gov
ernment Virginia led the fight against
the Importation of slaves and the eX-
tention of slavery. \ compromise was
effected whereby no importation should
be made after the year 1903. In the
meantime the cotton gin was invented
and acre after acre was put in culti-
vation in the South. and planted in cot
ton, 1t was then that the North began
to sell their slaves in the South 70
on account Of its climate the negro
could not live in the North and he
thrived in the South.
New York did not abolish slavery
until 1927, and finally when all the
slaves had been sold into the South, at
profit, because they were unproft-
able in the North, the fight began
against human slavery
When Virginia came into the union
wv charter from the crown. her colony
extended over all that territory north
OF the Ohio river which comprises
now the states Of Indiana, Illinois,
Ohio. Michigan, Wisconsin and a part
OF Minnesota, and it was with the ex-
press condition that slavery should
not exist in any state or territory
carved out of this domain. These terms
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1910-06-07

were dictated by Virginia. When the
territory OF Indiana was organized ii
petitioned congress to allow their
Southern brethren to move into In
diana and BRING their saves. This
was Done on a petition or memorial
irom the territorial council and house
OF representatives and was indorsed
by William Henry Harrison its gov
ernor. In 1903 came the Louisiana
Purchase, from France. The Frencn
subjects had been protected in their
ownership OF saves and this protec-
lion was granted them by the United
States when the purchase was maze.
In 1929 came the first great strug-
gle nom the slavery question, which
resulted in a compromise. Missouri,
a part Of the Louisiana Purchase,
knocked at the doors of congress and
asked to be admitted into the union as
a slave s,ate. She was finally admit
ted, but the qualification was made
that no other state should be admitted
as slave state north of her south
boundary line, 36 degrees thirty min
utes Of north latitude After that the
states were admitted in balance, that
is, Northern state was admitted free

Then began seige of petitions to
congress to abolish African slavery

ter petition was submitted 20 congress,
and led by John Quincy Adams on the
one side and Calhoun on the other, the
debates continued with heat and bit
terness over the so-called gag rules,
ever refusing to consider these petit

passed resolution that continues to
this day, that at petitions be refer

quiIed territory and that any state
south of that line had the right to
come into. the Union as a slave state.
In 1850 California knocked at the
doors OF congress and demanded ad-
mission as a free state. The Southern
senators. led by Mr.. Davis, demanded
that thl line should be observed and
that the Missouri Compromise should
be recognized. This, OF course, would
have made California half slave and
half free. 1t seemed as though the
impending crisis was about to come
when Mr. Clay again proposed a COM
promist. In conversation with Mr..
Berrion of Georgia. and Mr.. Davis, Mr..
Clay said that this compromise wouIu
probably last thirty years longer, but
that in his judgment nothing could
avoid AN irrepressible conflict" He
told Mr. Berrin, you and ! will be

refused to join the compromisers and

party he stood for the Missouri Com

fused to listen to any compromise
whatever Mr.. Clay and Mr.. DaVis
were great friends. Mr. Clays son
had been killed at the battle of

have been heralded throughout the
word as the Savior of the Nation and
that some pepole might have called
Abraham Lincoln dis-unionist and a
traitor.
But little is known OF the boyhood
Of Mr.. Davis, beyond the fact that he
came from Georgia stock and his fam
lily moved to Kentucky where he was
| born in Todd County on june 3, 1903,
and shortly afterwards they moved to

school for two years in Kentucky and
