The Restriction Of ImmigratiOn.

The communication to The Washing
ton Herald from Mr.. Simon Wolf rela-
tive to the restriction of immigration
deserves careful reading. While Mr..
Wolf does not hesitate to commend the
exclusion of undesirable immigrants, he
nevertheless forcibly asserts that it
would be unfortunate for this country,
which owes so much of its prosperity
to the introduction and amalgamation
of the foreign element, TO close its
doors against those who seek home
within our borders.
1t is not necessary, as Mr.. Wolf
points out, TO exclude everybody be-
cause some of the would-be immigrants
are plainly unworthy of consideration.
On the contrary, he would draw the
lines closely against those who are
undesirable and then he would welcome
those who can add to the brain and
Drawn of the republic. It is to be said
for his position that we have pro6ted
much in the past by encouraging i'm
migration. The Irish and the Ger
mans, TO say nothing of the Norwe-
gians and Swedes who have populated
the Northwest, have contributed largely
to the development of the United
States, and in times of stress and dan
ger have proved their loyalty, even to
the sacrifice of their lives. ..
Mr.. VOLTS appeal is eloquent and
timely. 1t will find a responsive echo
in the hearts of the thousands who
were born on foreign shores or who
are the descendants of foreign-born
citizens

Editor me wasaing.on HeraId:

Editor The Washington Herald:
| II Is to me a subject of surprise that
men OF intelligence and patriotic fervor
should be constantly demanding more
drastic legislation in regard to immigra-
tion. 1t seems that the history OF our
country as to this important subject has
been misread or not understood. for 1t
cannot be gainsaid or contradicted that
no one single factor in our political eco
nomic life has done more for the upIift-
ing. the betterment, the development. and
the prosperity Of our country than inImi-
grafton. The fathers OF the republic
from the very start saw its value and
sent agents TO Europe to stimulate immi-
grafton, and from that time up to this
there has been constant inflow Of what
has proven 20 be a blessing and a source
Of the creates; happiness 20 this nation.
In every part Of the United States you
can see the footprints OF immigrant pio-
neers, who have made the waste places
to bloom, who have built the railroads
and canals. who have felled the forests
and titled the soil, who have brought
forth from the mines the black diamond
that turns the spindlss and wheels Of
countless mills and factories; and their
strong men and women have enriched
our country with Drawn, brains. and So
briefly and the elements that constitute
manhood and womanhOod. They have
given no evidence OF race degeneracy.
nor have they been anxious TO barter
their daughters TO counts Of no-accOunt
Their constant ambition has been to be
worthy OF the privileges they are enjoy
ing-regarding- this land OF opportunity
as the promised land OF the prophets.
At first Il was the Irish, who, driven
from the land Of their birth by persecu-
ton, made this their native land, and
have made good in every way; then the
Germans, who in the stress or the revolu-
tlon in their own land came to the
United States 20 be dominant power
for good. and The Scandinavians, NOrwe-
gians. and swedes who went to the great
Northwest
There was a time in our history. re-
membered by some still living. when
there was an attempt by political parties
as there now is. the ''know-nothing' or
sanization, to prevent immigration and
instill in the body polite prejudice and
fanaticism. These days happily passed,
vived the shock, and now there is again
an attempt made to restrict immigration.
Various reasons are given. but none that
are tangible. No patriotic American
wishes that undesirable immigrants be
admitted. on the contrary. you cannot
make the law too drastic in that direc-
ton. but to assert that tile man who
has no money. but has a strong body and
healthy brain. shan not be admitted
is crime. To listen to the dictates Of
theorists and union lsborers that IL low
ers the standard Of living Is equally abb
surd. on the contrary. these men and
women teach a saluiary lesson in regard
10 economy, sobriety. and those eie-
ments that are essential TO good citizen
ship
There are others who claim that no one
should he admitted who cannot read or.
write some language. There is no funda-
mental reason for this claim. For my

Eileen Martin.

I'm pretty little, but I'll try" said
seven-year-old Eileen Martin, daughter
of section foreman, who discovered a
broken rail on the tracks near her home,
saw by the semaphore signal that the
Overland limited was in the block, and
knew that danger threatened the train,
She had come from her mother to see
the Limited" sweep by the little town
of Alta, Cal, as she was accustomed
to do. She saw the broken rail as she
crossed TO her safe place of observa-
ton.
The discovery gave wings to her lit
tie feet. She ran to the station, but found
that the agent, who had set the signals,
had gone home to dinner. She climbed
Upon chair and told him through the
telephone of the broken rail. There
was not a minute to be lost. The
agent asked earnestly through the tele-
phone: Can't YOU take the red flag.
Eileen, run down the track little way,
and flag the train? Try it; that's good
girl
I'm pretty little, but I'll try" came
back to the agent the answer of the
childish voice. And try she did, with
such effect that the train with its many
passengers was brought to a stop less
than 100 feet from the broken rail; and
the name of Eileen Martin went over
the wires to all parts of this country.
Eileen Martins technical knowledge
of the senaphore. telephone, and signals
of the railroad could not be possessed
by every child, and few at seven would
have had the quick wit to realize the
danger or TO act so promptly upon the
means at hand to avert calamity; but
Eileen was equal TO it, and the story
of what she did in her childish way is
worthy Of being told in every primary
school in the land.
She was only seven, and pretty lit
tie" to stop train, but she was willing
to try.

Baroness Dc Meyer Meets Her
Waterloo When She Accepts
Challenge of Mrs. Dewar.

New York. Jan. IA brief four min.
utes OF flashing foils, dextrous thrustlng
and brilliant parrying at the Colony Club
this afternoon, snd the Baroness de
Meyer. one Of Europe's best women
fencers. who lately lamented the fact
that America had no one worthy Of her
steel, had met her waterloo. In those
four minutes OF lightning action sturdy
Mrs. William II. Dewsr. of Philadelphia.
had twice sent the point of her foil home
10 the baroness heart. and when the time
ended was resting on the defensive, smil-
ing happily and confidently. with only
one score against her.
Four hundred persons. all prominent
in New York society, had gathered at
the Colony Club TO witness the match,
for which Mrs. Harry Payne whitney
had offered a silver cup, and when the
result was announced many a glove
cracked in applause.
Among the spectators were Mrs. Stuy-
vesant Fish, Miss Anne Morgan, Robert
Graves, Elisha Dyer, Miss Lotta Robin
son, Baron de Meyer. and Mrs. Benjamin
Guinness. Justice Gerard. of the Su-
preme Court, was master of ceremonies,

well built, garbed in black, velvet. So
ciety held its breath, for here was 4
contest Of international import, and or
deep concern to the American woman
athlete.
Mrs. Dewar opened the attack, making
a long, low thrust that surprised her
antagonist For fully half a minute she
kept up a bewildering attack. at once
fast, furious and skiIlful. with the har-
oness parrying viciously the while on the
defensive. Finally there was a flash OF
steel and the baroness received the point
OF the foil near her heart. A cheer from
the crowd, and the little woman contin-
ued on.
For a minute more she pressed this
same swift attack. The baroness, now
convinced that here was fencer wor-
thy of her best steel, tried time and
again to hurl the sword of her oppo-
nent, but without avail The last clash
of the foils was followed by a thrust
straight at the heart OF the baroness.
and the crowd wildly cheered second
point for Mrs. Dewar.
The match ended with this second
score. Mrs. Dewar. smiling sweetly,
and not in the least exhausted. dropped
back 20 the defensive and allowed the
baroness to go after her. She was as
clever on the defensive as oh the Of
fensive. The baroness got home one
thrust. but her attack had been solved.

picked her up and kissed her. and New
