THINKS SHOULD Shut
down The GATES
Newcomers Bring New Racial
Elements

Washington, D. c., Feb. 8.-Commi5-
sioner of immigration Keefe, in his
report to Secretary Nagel of the de-
partment of commerce and labor, says
that formerly large part of our
immigration came from the Teutontc
and Celtic countries of northern and
western Europe, but that during the
past year only 2O2,329 aliens, or about
% per cent of the entire immigration
came thence, while 572,218, or about
IS per cent of the total, originated n
the Iberic and Slavonic countries of
eastern and Southern Europe and
western Asia.
The commissioner general states
that attention should be given to the
question whether the influx of these
foreign racial elements should not
be materially reduced, pointing 70
the fact that the existing conditions
must tend to an unequal infusion of
blood and the creation of races with
in race.
The manner in which the transport
| tation lines induce immigration in
violation of law is discussed at great
length These schemes, he says, are
designed to enrich the companies AT
the expense of the aliens, who are ex-
plotted both in Europe and in this
country, and are hurtful to laborers
already permanently located in the
United States. Sub-agents of the
steamship lines, often acting in con-
junction with labor agents in the
United States, induce aliens to mi
CRATE by exaggerated promises with
respect to employment and wages.

dies FROM Effect
Of AWFUL BURNS

Mrs. Jessie Davis, an estimable la
dy residing near DeSoto, twelve miles
east of Americas, died at an early

from burning grass and she was
quickly enveloped by the flames NJ"
Davis rushed to his wife's rescue and
tore the burning garments from hec
but the flames had already done their
deadly work, and she died in great
agony the day following. Mrs. Davis
was only twenty-five years of age,
and had been married but short
while.

CARL HAWKINS CAFE
A CARD

l desire to thank those of my
friends and the public who have
helped me to write the large amount
of life insurance | have written dur
ing 1911.
At the same time | wish to con-
graduate all those who have been so
fortunate as to get their insurance
with The Union Central Life ms. Co.,
and feel absolutely certain that IN
selling you this insurance | have given
you the very best to be had, and have
saved you money on it's cost also.
You have seen our actual results as
to annual dividends and net cost adj
yertised very often You do not see
the results in any other company so
published There's a reason.
Now begin the New Year right by
taking out that life insurance you
have been putting off so long. Just a
little more delay may mean a fatal de-
lay, and there is no pleasure in think
ing of what might have been.
Let me show you.
