We have one wish, that the man

the best men for the position.

A RUSH OF IMMIGRATION

Senator E. D. Smith is the chair
man Of the senate committee OF immi-

among the most important in congress-
for the next few years. Senator
Smith has already declared that he

Immigration, ami lie has never varied
frou his stand. although President
Wilson is not with the committee on
that point
At the conclusion of the war in Eu-
rope, there will be a great migration to
this country, fortune hunters from all
sections OF the war smitten nations of
the world. Among them may come
some desirable citizens, men OF educa-
tion and character looking for home.
But there will also come a class that
will be banality and perhaps q
curse to this country What the Uni
ted States needs now Is moro Of hom-
ogeneity in Its citizenship and less of
the Heterogeneous.
1t is indeed time that congress
should pass some more restricted leg
isiation along this line And 1t had
better be done now before the matter
Is made to appear too pointed.
