Washington, April 2S-That 81 =
immigrants representing practically
every quarter of the globe have been
admitted to this country in the last
fourteen years in spite of the fact
that they could neither read nor
write, and were deaf, dumb and
blind into the bargain, is a fact as
little known as that Uncle Sam has
brought them in without consultina
their wishes and set them to work
without even a cent of wages. Most
surprising of all, however. through
the activities of these apparently
useless aliens hundreds of millions
'of dollars have been added to the
.country's wealth,
These curious immigrants, how
ever, some of which are aristocrats
and some plebians. are not human
beings, but plants. and the method
OF their introduction to this country
constitutes one of the most interest
ing as wei as one of the least known
features OF work of extreme i'm
portance to the whole country which
the government is carrying on
Though few persons are aware of the
fact, Uncle Sam for a decade and a
half has Systematically been en-
couraging vegetable immigrants To
assist in this work a plant immigra-
ton station is maintained here where
each specimen arriving goes through
an examination. Each, specimen IL
scrutinized to see that it is free
from disease and likelA to become =
desirable citizen and ii so helped tc
become established in this country
How successful these aliens have
been is shown in the fact that in thu
last fourteen years thirty-one thous
and of them have been admitted by
the Bureau and put to work in
creasing our national wealth ana
diyersifying our food supply.

might seem to be lacking in all the

Generally speaking these plant
immigrants, while all are useful
may be classed as aristocrats and
commoners. One of the former in

be given citizenship in our markets

What perplexing problems these
plant immigrants may present before
they become useful citizens is strik-
ingly illustrated by the introduction
OF Smyrna figs. Cuttings of Smyrna
figs were brought to California in
1880 but though the trees thrived
no commercial figs could be pro-
duced. Investigation revealed the
fact that the female tree alone bears
truit, while the male, or capri fig,
supplies pollen. Moreover it was
discovered that single insect, Bias
tophagas, brought about the polIi-
nation necessary for fruit produc.
ton and that there were none of
these insects in this country. They
bred in the capri fig and were short
lived. With the utmost care and
repeated efforts it required nine
years to establish the Blastophaga
in California and to produce Smyrna
figs

 Hinemon, with the other enp. mics of Donaghey, prate about the governor being a third term candidate, but they say nothing about Robinson being a seventh. term" candidate for public of. flee. If these men can support Robinson on this issue, certainly Governor Donaghey's support CTS have alright to stand loyaly by him, especially when he is waging war on a combined ring that halts at nothing that might place them in power and permit them to destroy the right of the people to govern themselves.
 Attack on character, indeed. The gang has aSSailed Governor Donaghey as no other citizen of Arkansas was ever aSSailed.
 And why, pray: Just because Donaghey has the courage to de- fend the taxpayers and defy the machine which is hungry, yea frantic, to get another chance to tilch from the state treasury and barter public trusts for private gain.
 Fortunately, the voters have become aroused. The trend Of popular approval is sweeping to ward Donaghey and good govern ment and the more the gang as sail and slander Donaghey the stronger he grows with the peO pie.

He Is Angry Because
 Donaghey Defeated Him

Still embittered because Gov ernor DOnaghey defeated him in his race for governor, John H.. Hinemon assails Donaghey in the role of manager for Congress- man Joe T. Robinson, and while deploring what he alleges to be Donaghey's attack on charac- ter" Hinemon forgetS his indiS- criminate attack on character" of men who have gained his ill humOr.
 In a paid announcement Hine- mon proceeds to condemn Gov ernor DOnaghey for an alleged attack on Walter Hendrix and T. P. Murrey, but he does not eX- explain what this attack was The only thing Governor Dona- ghey has said about Mr. Hen dricks is that he was paid rep resentative of the railroads atthe last session of the legislature and that he is now managing Robin sons campaign. The governor referred to MT. Murrey as the eX-representative of the book trust and also said that Robin sons headquarters were in Mur- rey's hotel.
 Now anattack on a man s char acter is the statement of an un- truth, but HinemOn does not say those charges are untrue. Will Hinemon truthfully deny Cover nor Donaghey's charges?
 And, by the way, while discuss ing attack on character" Hine- mon should be considered, as should his co-manager of t h e the Robinson campaign. Candi- date Robinson, for instance, in making his unproven allegations of mismanagement of affairs con nected with the state capitol, at tacks the character" of such sterling citizens as W. P. Fetch CT of Lonoke, Thomas C. McRae of Prescott, J. Sam Roland of Harrison, $. $. Faulkner of Hele- na, W. A. Jeffers of Mulberry. John C. Martin of Batesville and Dr. F. R. Dibrell of Little Rock.
 Again, MT. Robinson in the scurrilouS Prince articles at tacks the character" of such men as David A. Gates, Epps Brown and l.. NJ. Burge.
 And Mr. Hinemon, while de- nouncing attack on character, :" seems to forget how he, when finding fault with the Penitenti- ary Board because it on one oc- casion paid SIS a ton for four tons of hay, made an attack on character" of such reputable men as Col. Clay Sloan, State Auditor John R. lobe, Attorney General NOrwood and Secretary of State Hodges.
 It is amusing, to say the least, for Hinemon to appear in the role of proteStor against attack on character" because Governor DOnaghey cares to unmaSk the men who are the head and front

NEW YORK, July Sit was easier

than 1t has been at any time since Her

Becker never was under my orders
in any way nor at any time." Mr..
Dougherty said. "You' all know what
