On the Job.

On n JOB.
The motorman looks out ahead
To see if there is danger.
He doesn't want to paint things red
BY mussing up a stranger.
So he is careful with his juice
In crowded city places,
But in the open cuts her loose
And let's her go her PAGES.
II,
He looks ahead for every switch,
For every curve and angle,
Lest in some unexpected hitch
His busy wheels might tangle,
But in the long and level trails
With neither crook nor siding
He does his best to burn the rails
And give the folks some riding.
His hand is always firmly set
And there the brake to tickle
Let some one wants on board to get
And spend his hard earned nickel.
He listens for the signal ring
That tells him to get busy.
And then he doesn't do a thing
But once more make them dizzy.
The mOtOrman is ever there
His speed to check or double.
He doesn't know just when and where
He may hump into trouble.
For he is always on the job
The moment things get started,
And from his brassy thingumbob
His hand is naver parted.

for this suggestion must be given
to United States Senator lie Roy
Percy of Mississippi, member of
that commission. The chairman
of the Senate immigration Com
mittee, William P. Dillingham;, of
Vermont, and lie Roy Percy of
Mississippi, member OF that com
mrttee, will prepare full bill re.
stricting immigration as recon-
mended by the commission, and
with public sentiment that the re-
port has created will be enacted
into law.
immigration has been discussed
in Mississippi, and the Mississippi
Know Nothing propaganda is IL
logical. Why7 Because they as
sert in the press and in the hust-
ings that the negro is worthless
for any purpose. Appealing to
passion and race prejudice, they
protest against the true solution of
the negro question, namely, the
making of a white State of Missis-
sippi by desirable white inmigra-
ton. Our people run after false
gods and false prophets, and in
stead of marching forward with
advancing states, they are fighting
for a place at the tail end of the
procession.
United States Senator LIE Roy
is another George, for by putting
an education clause in the forth
coming immigration Bill, and by
adding a head tax he will solve the
problem how to restrict the hordes
of aliens annually to our shores.

The old slogan, ga school on ev-

the new watchword, ga good
school in every District and a sufi-
cient number of competent teach
ers in every school," Consolidat-
ed schools and good roads was the
keynote at the meeting of edu-
Gators held at Columbus a few
weeks ago. The state superiu-
tendent and the department of ed
ucation seems satisfied to place the
battle for better schools on this
basis. It is no longer a question
of taking the school house to the
country boy and placing it at his
door, but taking the country boy
to the school house and placing
him at its door. This is to give
the poor boy on the farm an op-
portunity to obtain an education

ing is inferior because Of condi-
tions. 1t is neither good for the
county nor the county boy to have
him educated IN the town schools
if possible to avoid 1t. The child
is placed in environment that is
not in sympathy with him nor his
home conditions. Often the teach
er, consequently the teaching, is
out of harmony with his life; there
fore be fails to realize the possibil-
tiles the farm affords. AT the pres
ent time we hear a great deal about
educating along agricultural lines;
but the best way, indeed the only
practical way, to do this is to edu-
cate him in the midst of agricul-
ture. The town school exists for
the town child and it would not be
filling its mission if it did not
adapt itself to bis needs and thus
best fit him to fill his sphere in
life.
This problem can be solved for
the country schools. 10 fact is al
ready being solved in many places
by consolidating the rural schools.
This, more perhaps than anything
else in connection with our schools,
is misunderstood. Those, who are
its bitterest opponents now, are
predestined to be its strongest ad-
vocates in one or two decades from

when consolidated, as the chief
factor in that common wealth. Let
us iay aside our little differences

The Immigration Question.

The immigration question is con-
stantly engaging the best thoughts
of our statesmen and publicists.
The enormous volume of immigra-
ton each year through Castle Gar
den for this country, averaging
about one million foreigners a
year, has called the attention of
the American people to the prob
lem of restricting this immigration
to our shores, and calling for the
enactment of laws protecting the
United States more effectively a.
gainst the pauper, vicious and
criminal classes.
On the 2oth of February, 1907,
Congress, responding to public
sentiment, passed an act creating
the immigration Commission. The
commission was authorized to make
full inquiry, examination and in
vestigatIon of the whole immigra-
ton subject and to recommend leg
islation that would restrict in tie
full sense desirable and undesira-
| BILE = desirable for assimilation
with our stock and undesirable by
exclusion from our ports and
boundary lines. The law provided
for the appointment of three sena-
tors, three congressman, and three
persons to be selected by the pres
ident of the United States. The
appointments expected from the
president were to be experts and
students on immigration subjects.
Only one Democratic senator was
named on the immigration Com
mittee and that was United States
Senator lie Roy Percy of Missis-
sippi. Only one Democratic rep
resentative was chosen and that
was Congressman John L. Burnett
of Alabama.
The commission for three years
compiled an immense amount ol
material that will be valuable tor
future reference, and is now being
prepared for publication in forty
volumes.
After long discussion and labor,
the commission gave practically a
unanimous report, except shorl
dissent from Congressman Bennett
of New York. The gist of the re-
port is that men representing diff.
ferent sections and different inter
ests of our common country, al
hnally agreed that 'srestriction O
immigration is demanded by econ
omic, moral and social considera
tions' and all suggestions ans
methods of restriction, they rec
ommend as effective, the majority
of the immigration Commission
recommended the educational tes
(reading and writing) as the bes
single method of restricting unde
