IMMIGRATION EVILS.

For years the United States
has endeavored to correct its
immigration laws. Every think
ing person knows that some
thing must be done to check the
influx. Now that it has become
necessary to conserve our IA
donal reSourceS-Our timber, our
coal lands, our water power sites
it stands to reason that this
conservation is intended for our
children and not for the chill
dren of the hordeS now in
southern Europe. The
outbreaks of the Industrial
Workers of the World and the
growth of socialism in this coun-
try may be directly charged to
this great incoming Heterogeneous
mass Of undesirable wage cut
ting inhabitants. many of them
admittedly temporary inhabit-
ants. who. before they have
learned to speak our language
and before they know of our Gus
toms and institutions. are taught
by foreign born agitators to hate
the United States and to con-
tribute their money and their
energies to a revolution, blood
less or otherwise, which plots
the downfall of our present form
of government. - Congressman
Albert Johnson OF Washington.

the readers Of 5000 newspapers.

Public clamor is almost always
in the wrong. 1t is so loud that

Hasty Conclusions.

The Barron the Crib and Haug all point to the
lesson for the need of greater forming hasy conclusions
In each murder suspected and in each of the
careful investigation definitely proved the suspicious being
founded The circumstances surrounding each of these tragedies
caused the charge of murder being preferred and but for the
standing the parties and their family influence in the
communities would have led to mob violence which in each
would have proved the killing of an innocent
Crcumstana evidence rarely be believed and like
these confirm the opinion that where the accusation rests
solely ccumsana evidence should the death penalty be in

The Twentieth Century Club of
Butler entertained the W. /. Clab
of Reynolds, on last Thursday af-
ternoon at the home of Mrs. &.

The Reynolds club arrived
promptly at 8 o'clock and were
most cordially received by the
hostess, Mrs. Smith and the presi-
dent. Mrs. 3. B. Rawls. The re.
ception hall parlor and dining
room were thrown into one and
were soon filed by the members
of both clubs who engaged in very
animated conversations on the all
important subject of the afternoon
"Club Work."
Mrs. Rawls called the meeting
to order and a short business ses-
sion was held which we enjoyed
for we are young in the work and
are very anxious to learn more OF
the work. Then business was laid
aside and we were most delightful.
~ entertained in social way by
these good women.
Yellow and white we're the colors
for the afternoon, and the color
were carried out so beautifully.
The decorations consisted of gol
den rod and yellow dahlias.
After enjoying the vocal solos
of Mrs. Julian Edwards, one Of
Buffers most charming ladies anG
the beautiful solos by Miss Vir
ginia Hinton, Mrs. Steed and Mrs.
Smith served us with the most de-
licious yellow and white cream anc
yellow and white cakes.
The Reynolds ladies were never
more royalty entertained than by
those good women of Butler. They
have a most enthusiastic club anc
we wish for them much success il
their many undertakings for bott
civic and moral Improvements il
our sister town.
We hope to have the Twentieth
Century Club with us in the neal
future and show them in part how
we enjoyed their hospitality. W.
hope there will be many visits ex.
changed during the year and there
by become better acquainted with
these ladies who showed us SC
many courtesies.

in few well chosen words, ex-
pressed the appreciation and en-

well borne out by the cheer
hubbub of happy voices as til
guests made their departure, all
declaring that they had enjoyed
the manner Of entertaining far
better than in previous years,
having been much more informal
than the seated luncheons pre-
viously given in celebration of
the day.
Last year a dear old lady from
the far north remarked on reach

what ever did since | came to
Fitzgerald to live, for I tell you,
it did my old heart good to see
those northern and southern
ladies working so tremendously
together to give us old folks a
good time"
And we have but one criticism
to make of this remark, that is
Love knows not labor" and it
was love that prompted the
thought of Grandmother's Day,
and IF youth knew what age
would crave, It would both get
and save"
