trim the departmental budgets sufficiently
TO leave margin of 100000 surplus out
OF which to make new public improve

TO meet other emergency expenses arising
during the year.
The budget appropriation 10 depart

for 81 .495, 5S. an Increase OF more than
S100,0 600. 1t is here that the cut will be
made.

immigration, however, is in the educational test.
This country is supposed to be the land OF
hope, of opportunity and OF EDUCATION.
The men who started the nation declared that
men were created equal. And they were sup
posed to be equal, whether they were lucky
enough in their youth to get an education or not
When the Declaration of Independence was
written, many men and women in the country
could neither read nor write-but 1t was not
supposed that their illiteracy made them unfit
for useful citizenship.
The mothers and fathers of many of the
most useful men and women in history have
been unable to read or write.
And on the other hand, practically all of the
great criminals and undesirable characters In
recent years have been well equipped as regards
superficial education.
If men and women unable to read and write
had been excluded from this country in the
early days, we should be lacking at least three
quarters of the best part of the population OF
now.
1t is said that the mother of Abraham Lin
coin was barely able to read-if, indeed, she
could read at all. Yet it would hardly be sug-
gested that woman of her type be kept out of
the country. And Abraham Lincoln himself
might have grown up unable to read, had not
his stepmOther fortunately made 1t her duty to
teach him and encourage him.
Would any wise man at Washington suggest
that a man of LincOln's type-Of whom there
are plenty in EurOpe-shOuld be turned away
at the entrance to this country because he had
been less fortunate than Lincoln and had not
been taught to read?
Unfortunately, some opposition to immigra-
ton comes from the mistaken ideas of labor
leaders in the more intelligent and highly
skilled trades.
1t is alleged that the railroad conductors and
the engineers of the country are enrolled in the
effort to exclude immigrants and to enforce the
education test.
Let them ask themselves how such test

and the lowest kind of race and rellglous pre1u-
dice, is shown in legislation aimed at them.
It is inconceivable that any human Deing
should he SO miserably cold-hearted and cruel
as to shut out persecuted men and women from
the land of liberty. 49,
It is especially inconceivable that men calling
themselves CHRISTIANS should seek to bar
the very race to which the world owes the
Christian religion, the race to which nearly all
the great names In the Old and New Testament
belong.
Race and religious prejudice have great
deal to do with the effort to restrict lmmgra-
ton.
To keen the unhappy victims of Russian per-
secutiOn helpless in the Pale is the real object
of men who fear the competition that their
own lack of ability or habits Of life Will not
permit them to meet.
A recent and amusing evidence of the desire
to interfere with the free action OF human
beings is shown in legislation proposed by Sec
rotary Wilson.
This legislation is illustrated in the picture on
this page.
Mr.. Wilson, if you please, would measure
human beings with yard-stick. And he would
forbid admission to this country, except to men
and women of certain height.
Mr.. Wilson'S brilliant idea would keep out OF
the United States such men as Napoleon, Wag-
ner, the late E. H. Hartman, Carnegie, and
many anOther-nOt quite tall enough in inches
to suit the careful Mr.. Wilson, but tall enough
in brains to tower several miles above him.
Mr.. Wilson, an intelligent man ordinarily, is
aware of the fact that human beings are not
measured like pigs or bantam chickens or prize
elephants, with vard-stick.
The important difference between men is not
in the length of the legs or the height of the
body, but difference in the makeup of the
brain, which has nothing at all to do with
bodily size.
AS matter of fact giants are nearly always
idiots, or nearly idiots.
And very big men, with few exceptions, are
less intelligent than men of moderate size.
The chief hope Of those that would restrict
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-02-15

but the idea and conviction may still lnger
with him.
II that be SO, and if Mr. Wilson's contempt
for those that have not had the benefit of col
lege education still exists, we can tell him that
he is not helping the United States by trying to
keep out THE CLASS OF WORKING PEOPLE
THAT Do THE BUILDING FOR THE
UNITED STATES.
This country has millions of acres that need
to be cultivated to produce food for the con-
sested city populations
WHO is TO DIG THE SOIL AND DO THE
OTHER WORK? Should we not welcome men
willing to work on the land-even if they can
not read write or dance the tango?
This country needs tens of thousands of
miles of new railroad to develop 1t properly;
it needs good roads and canals.
Should we not welcome men willing to build
these railroads, dig the canals and work on
the roads for fair pay? Is it really necessary
that man who comes here abiding, ener-
getic, ambitious and willing to do a fair days
work with pick shovel should have literary
education?
The very men who are proposing this educa-
ton test and the various other tests are those
that are most anxious, as they put it, ito keep
the working class quiet and cOntented."
Is not the man willing to work hard at the
hardest labor a pretty decent, desirable, quiet
citizen?
Suppose farmer needed twenty extra teams
on his farm, and would not permit any more
teams to come in, you would think him crazy.
Uncle Sam needs millions of extra hands on
this farm called the United States. He needs
builders, diggers of all kinds. And he needs
also men with brains to build up business,
manage it, direct it and develop it-such as
Russia sends us.
The United States should keep out disease,
keep out idiOcy, since we cannot be an asylum
for the miserably afflicted.
And while keeping out disease and idiocy, we
might well keep out some of the noble" gen.

Under our law any man who has money may

ILLITERATE, is to be shut out.

&c
The ancient Greeks thought that they had
solved the problem and arranged to protect
themselves by preventing emigration from one
of the small Greek states or cities into another.
Each little geographical and political div-
sion selfshly shut out its neighbors.
Each little group of Greeks had its bigger
group of slaves working for 1t, and others were
kept out jealousy, local hatreds were fOmented
and conquest was easy when the time came.
But, at least, the Greeks, selfish and narrow
minded, DID NOT REFUSE ASYLUM TO A
POLITICAL REFUGEE.
1t is actually suggested in the United States
that among other things we suspend the ma
tional custom of welcoming and protecting po-
litical refugees.
One statesman has actually drafted bill that
would compel the United States to turn back to
Russia, and to the mines of Siberia, any man
guilty of working for freedom on Russian ter
ritory.
After the sacrifices this country made to get
rid of the theory that Northern man must re-
turn a fleeing slave to the South, it would be
rather humliating to adopt the theory that
Republic must return an escaped worker for
liberty to the clutches of the Gar.
The question of immigration should be dealt
with in accordance with the peoples interest
and this is what the peoples interest really de-
mands
The exclusion of disease, mental and physical
exclusion of idiots and criminals-understand

would help THEM.

Certainly, it would not make them more Sc
cure in their positions or help them to mo-
n0pOly of their work by keeping out cOmpeti-
ton. II is not the immigrant unable to read or
write who becomes locomotive engineer or
conductor.
All immigrants able to compete in the skilled
trades would come here ABLE to read and
write, and the education test would not bar
them.
On the other hand, as intelligent union men
needed TO BUILD NEW RAILROADS and
new factories.
Bar out the kind of labor that Is building the
railroads to-day and you will have fewer new
jobs for skilled workmen.
The engineer cannot run his locomotive I'M
til the track is laid. The conductor cannot earn
his pay until the cars running AND 1T is
THE MAN FROM ABROAD WHO LAYS THE
TRACKS, BUILDS THE RAILROADS., DOES
THE DIGGING.
1t is not the man able and willing to work
with pick shovel who completes with the
high-class mechanic or other union man.
And the skilled mechanic who keeps out i'm
migration, fOOshly imagining that he helps
himself, is really keeping out the builders
whose work will give many thousands of new
jobs TO THE MORE SKILLED WORKMEN.
e
II is to be observed, also, unfortunately, that
this sudden Congressional enthusiasm for bar
ring out immigrants and applying the educa-
ton test seems to reflect the opinions of Presi-
dent WisOn-as he expressed them before he
tried to be President.
Our readers will remember that MIR. Wilson
was very severe in his contempt for 'the baser
sort of men," particularly those from Southern
and Eastern Europe-Italians, Hungarians and
some others.
He was less emphatic In his denunciation of
the chaser sort of men" who work with pick
and shovel after he began to run for President.
