Editor The Georgian:
Have we really any reason to
believe that there is much sub
stantial difference between print
tive cannibalism of .savagery and
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-
pie whose forefathers (foreigners)
shed blood and struggled contln-
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 built2
This Burnett bill" now pend
ing in Congress at Washington,
has for its ultimate object the
amendment of the immigration
laws. with view of restricting
immigration to such an extent as
pra ctically to mean the closing OF
the gates of the land of the free"
in the faces of those who seek our
country as q shelter from relig-
ious and political persecution.
This bill, row pending, is a rep
etition of 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-
gress and the destructive and
detrimental influences that may
result to all the people of our
land, if 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 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 we realize 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 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 WE'LL should he
be sent back? Suppose men like
Mr. Burnett we've physically and
literarily disqualified. but pos
sessed plenty of money, do you
think they would be excluded
from our country?
Just because economic deter
minisn" 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
we civilized people of the United
States. living in the modern. en-

The immigration Problem

should ignore the poor immi-
grants appeal and cry for help
so that he may begin life over,
with new determination, new en-
enlargement 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 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 a modern form.
The foreign element has helped
materially to make our country
what it really is to-day. Give him
chance in college. and as a rule
he is at the head of his class.
Give him chance on the farm,
and he will not only be success
full. but may produce more than
formerly. And why not senG
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, AND a number of them were
illiterate when they landed here
Many of them will never be able
to pass an army 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 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 a 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 NEST progressive labor or
CARNATIONS 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 foreign
er. 1t is not logical, I 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 first or
CARNATIONS to oppose the pass
ing of the Burnett bill,
What did our forefathers in the
American Revolution fight for
believe that the true American sptr-
it of justice and human brother
hood still prevails.
1t would be timely and just 10
make protest meetings, indiyid-
ualIy and collectively, so as 10
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 10 anything
which would mean departure
from the time-honored principe
that America is the haven Oh
refuge" for those who are being
persecuted and prosecuted be-
ca1se of their religious and politi-
cal beliefs.

RUNAWAY ACCIDENT

While Mrs. Sumner, who re-
sides on the Cooper place north
west of the city, and her two little
children, one a babe, was driving
on Grant st. Thursday afternoon,
the horse became frightened at a
piece of paper that blew under it's
feet, and started to run away. On
Magnolia avenue the mother was
thrown out. The frightened ami
NAL continued his mad journey
up Lee street to Central avenue,
and when near the Dixie Phar-
macy, the two children were
thrown out, the baby's head
striking a tree. The older child
was not injured. The mother
was picked up by Mr.. E. ]. Pass
and carried to a doctor, but after
a hurried examination it was
found she was not seriously in
jured. The baby was carried to
DR.. Cohen. The baby's face was
badly injured and a shoulder dis
located. DR.. Cohen accompanied
the mother and children to their
country home.

a touching prayer, followed by

never reached more receptive

anese government "had come to see
the necessity of considering some 9TH

because the replies Of the United
States had not been found satisfactory,
was cabled in full from Toxic to the
Japanese embassy here.
The address, which was not COM

fact that the ambassador, under In

that he make an effort t. stop the
