The immigration Problem

HuOulu lSnOIe lkc pCOA AAAAAA
grants appeal and cry for help.
so that he may begin life over,
with new determination, new en-
couragement and with new hopes.
Why not give them their hu-
man rights? Why not give them
such opportunity as we would
want ourselves? If we deprive
them of such a chance, which is
the only one for them, we are rob-
bling them of true life" Can we
call that Christian deed? Can
we call it human or cannibalism
in modern form.
The foreign element has helped
materially to make our country
what it really is to-day. Give him
a chance in college, and as a rule
he is at the head of his class.
Give him a chance on the farm,
and he will not only be success
full, but may produce more than
formerly And why not send
many to the agricultural districts,
where there is an indication and
demand for their presence?
Some of our most prominent
musicians, painters, artists. ply
sicians and lawyers are foreign
ers, ana a number of them were
illiterate when they landed here.
Many of them will never be able'
to pass an "armye physical test
but have helped others, physical
ly, mentally, psychologically and
otherwise.
If these men of learning would
have been excluded from our
country, the chances are that they
would to-day be considered among
the Lowest strata of society" in
the old continents. Then why not
give the honest poor man a
chance to make good?
Some labor organizations seem
to be prejudiced, and favor the
passage of the Burnett bill. They
believe that the immigrant will
compete with his brother worker
on the labor market for a job.
They forget that more people
need more necessities of life, such
as food, clothing and shelter;
hence more workers are needed
for the production thereof
Give him chance to become a
union man, and nine times out Of
ten he will be among the most
energetic and leading members of
his union. 1t is also true that the
most powerful and best organized
and most progressive labor or
ganizations to-day are those in
which there are the largest mem
bers of foreign workers. So to
be fair-where could organized
labor lose?
The very head Of the American
Federation of Labor is a foreign
er. 1t is not logical, believe, to
conclude that foreigners will do
harm to the working class in
this country. If the A. F. of L.
would understand itself better, it
would rank among the irst or
ganizations to oppose the pass
ing of the Burnett bill.
What did our forefathers in the
American Revolution fight for?
believe that the true American spir-
it of justice and human brother
hood still prevails.
1t would be timely and just to
make protest meetings. individ-
uaIly and collectively, so as to
arouse the attention of the peo-
pie TO the true issues behind the
curtain" and also prove to our
representatives that the American
people are opposed to anything
which would mean a departure
from the time-honored principe
that America is the haven o.
refuge" for those who are being
persecuted and prosecuted be-
cause of their religious and politi-
cal beliefs.

Thirty years ago Mr.. Hearst
began. in san Francisco, his first
crusade in the interest of the po-
litical equality of the sexes. II
was in The san Francisco Exam
iner that the cause was present
ed With so much conviction, force
and truth. AS his influence ex-
tended and he founded other pa
pers, the appeal for woman's suf-
frage was reiterated with that
peculiar zeal which is one of the
distinguished characteristics of
Mr.. Hearsts newspapers every
where.

Have we really any reason to
believe that there is much sub
stantial difference between prin1i-
tive cannibalism Of savagery ana
that of our so-called civilization
of the twentieth century?
How can we differenate, from
a philanthropic standpoint at
least, the two stages of society,"
when one group or nation OF peo-
ple whose forefathers (foreigners)
shed blood and struggled contin-
uously to secure them the liberty
and advantages they now pos
sess, are now themselves making
an effort to deprive and exclude
worthy. honest and capable men
and women from the Eastern
Hemisphere to our own shore?
Does not the Constitution of
the United States and the Dec
laration of Independence stare US
in the face? Do these valuable
documents mean anything to us
at all, or should we throw them
in the waste basket and ignore
the lofty principles upon which
our republic has been built?
This Burnett BILL" now pend
ing in Congress at Washington
has for its ultimate object the
amendment of the immigration
laws, with q view Of restricting
Immigration to such an extent as
practically to mean the closing OF
the gates of the "land of the free"
in the faces of those who seek our
country as 3 shelter from relig-
ious and political persecution.
This bill, row pending, is a rep
etition of a similar attempt
which met with failure in the
past. And there is no doubt
that the same negative results
will occur this time, if only the
people wake up and intelligently
comprehend the true issues in
volved in such proposals in Con-
sress and the destructive and
detrimental influences that may
result to all the people of our
land, it such bills were really
passed.
The passage of the Burnett bill
would not only be a reflection on
our nation, but a menace to the
human race in general. Any in
dorsement or favorable influence
for such a bill is repulsive.
James Russell Lowell once said
"They are slaves who dare not
speak for the humble and the
weak They are slaves who dare
not be among the right of two
and three" If we should be
passive and inert to this vital and
humane problem, then we are
towards.
The literary test" and also the
new physical test" would ex-
clude thousands Of good people
from our country.
Do werrealize how few Ameri-
cans would be able to stand the
physical test themselves? And is
it not ridiculous to measure hu-
man worth, standard and ability
by his anatomic structures?
Suppose a man is one inch
shorter than the required height
or the expansion and contraction
Of his chest is one-half an inch
less, but otherwise well, should he
be sent back? Suppose men like
Mr.. Burnett wele physically and
literarily disqualified. but pos
sessed plenty of money, do you
think they would be excluded
from our country?
Just because economic deter
minism" has put thousands of
people in Europe among the hum
BILE, weak and lowly, and de-
prived them of an equal oppor-
tunity to learn how to read, write
and study. is no sane reason why

States, living in the modern. Aen-

not one paper in the city or in the
State that was IN our favor. There
was no power of any magnitude
behind us except Mr.. Hearst and
his newspapers, and there was not

scarcely one who received the
woman's suffrage suggestion
without a laugh or a shrug.
