THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM
Fast Becoming Menace to Country,
New Yorker Declares.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sit: I thoroughly agree with *. As
letter TO The Tribune OF October IA. The
immigration problem is rapidly becoming
a menace 10 the peace and prosperity OF
our country. Yet We remain blind.

Is the Industrial Workers Of the World

and the observance OF our laws?
We are coming face TO face with a
serious crisis, and wiser heads than *.

CHANGES ON THE MAP.

The war between Italy and Turkey
was a minor affair in its military as
poets, but major in its results to the
map of Africa. 1t marked the end Of
Turkish sovereignty on that continent,
which once extended from the Red Sea
TO the Atlas Mountains. 1t also prac-
tically marked the end of independent
MahOmetan sovereignty there, which
once extended over the whole north OF
Africa as far as the central Soudan.
Algeria, Egypt, Tunls and now Tripoli
and Cyrenaica have successfully
passed into the hands Of or under the
control Of the European powers which
century ago were terrorized by the
pirates of those same Barbary States.
1t marked, also, the advent Of Italy
on that continent In Il quarter and TO
an extent which suggest the potency
Of great achievements hereafter. So
maitland and Eritrea can scarcely be
come of material consequence, but the

Under Phpnicians, Carthaginians,
Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Yandals
and Byzantines, for many centuries
those regions ranked among the rich

Ottoman rule they fell into decay, leav-
ing it now to be seen whether they
are capable Of renascence under the
rule Of the descendants Of the great

but Il small part Of the ancient Roman
Empire, but at least they are sufficient
to justify the title Of a new Roman or
Italian Empire in Africa.
Apart from diplomatic, military and
commercial considerations, the world
will be interested in the italian occu-
patton because Of its promise Of reve-
lations Of African archaeology. Tripoli

THE FOREMOST SINNER.

The supporters Of Governor wilson
are finding il difficult to answer the
pertinent question why he, as Gov
ernor of the. state which has chartered
the most conspicuous Of the stiiiers OF
connection, did not strike ut those OIL
Tenders by amending or annullinS thelr
charters. Mr.. Wilson has seen nj 10
condemn the present national admins
tration as "DO-Nothing' and KNOW
Nothing" But it exhibited the most
exemplary energy in pursuing tne
monopolistic combinations TO Whicn
New Jersey had issued letters oL
moroue. while be as Governor or thaI
state sat back and never lifted nhger
10 restrain or discipline them.
The constitution of New Jersey IL
/ lows the Legislature and the Governor
10 cooperate in amending the moor
noration laws. These laws must De
general in character, no special ACT Oh
INCORPORATION being permitted. Ihere
could therefore be no possible Srouhu
for charging discrimination against one
trust or another in proceeding 10 ne
tbe hands of the great predatory or
carnations which New Jersey hau
turned loose with a license TO operate
throughout the country. Mr.. wilson
has the presumption to censure the feu-
eraI government for not protecting the
country sufficiently against New Jersey
horn monOpOlies or semi-monopoIeS'
YET what die he ever do TO invoke the
complete remedy Of an amendment OF
the New Jersey incorporation law re-
calling the privileges recklesSly be-
slowed on mOnopolistic concerns for
the purpose Of filling the states treas
ury? Beyond a perfunctory reference
i'm his first message TO the seaman Oh
existing Incorporation methods he con-
tributed absolutely nothing.
one apologist, THE Philadelphia
Record" says that everything could not
be done at once at the first session OF
the legislature under Governor Will
sons administration and that at the
second session both branches Of the
legislature were Republican. But at
the first session one branch was also
Republican. Nevertheless, the Gov
ernor got through a great variety OF
reform legislation with Republican as
sistance. Why couldn't he bring about
q simple amendment Of the incorDora-
ton law ridding New Jersey Of the re-
-nN M H.
noxious trusts? The answer is simple.
Mr.. Wilson lacked the courage to adj
vocate with any show Of vigOr a change
in the incorporation law which would
operate 10 reduce the states tainted
revenue.
Blaming il on the Legislature is a
mere makeshift. If the Governor had
had an amendment to the Incorporation
law introduced in each house with his
public approval and the two houses had
then refused to pass his bill his skirts
would be clean. But he never made
fight against the chartering Of trusts
as a means Of raising revenue. On
that question he was "DO-NOthing. y
though not a "KnOw-Nothing." lie is
therefore Of all citizens of the United
States the least qualified TO inveigh
against governmental failure to disci-
pline the trusts, since, having a greater
opportunity than any other citizen TO
strike at trusts, he carefully tucked
that opportunity away in Il napkin. 1t
is not pleasant or profitable to hear sin
rebuked by the foremost of sinners.

HIS POLITICAL CREED.
