 A stupendous movement of the peo- pies is on from all parts of the world, he said, largely from southeastern Europe, not from the forceful clements of Europe, but from the more ignorant Glasses. When the Swedes, Welsh and Germans same our fathers of fifty years ago shook their heads over their coming. Up and down the state ot Minnesota the Swedes elected, gov ernor and sent a representative to Washington who is there yet.
 By million a year, the Turks. Rus sianS and Slaves are now coming. II the churches would do as much for the immigrants as the schools do there would be no problem. Down in East
 New York the Irish cams first. and were replaced by the Germans; both races have disappeared, driven out by the Jews Now the Italian has tht place of the Jew.
