Question OF Color With The
SuffTagettes.

The sulfrigeltes Of Georgia have
struck a snag on which their fail
sailing craft is likely to 20 to smash.
It has been learned that the passage
Of an equal suffrage measure in
Georgia would inevitably give to ne
gro women the right to vote.
The Maryland suffragettes, admit
ting this fact, it is declared, are al
ready busy with a plan to try to
educate negro women so that they
will be able to handle the ballot in
telllgenty, and one prominent suf-
frage leader, Mrs. Elizabeth King
IElIicott has bequethed her large
estate to the cause Of woman suf.
lfrage and to the education Of the
/ negroes.
Some Of the Maryland women, Il
is reported, were opposed to giving
| the vote to negro women, but when
the leaders pointed out that one
would inevitably bring the other,
they continued their campaign fol
statewide suffrage and at the same
time propOse TO educate the negroes
50 that they will be able to vote in
telligently.
Since these facts have been knowr
| a good many well-known Geofgla
women who had given their sup
port to the suffrage movement, are
holding back until some solution o
this new complication is offered.

PAPER ON
IMMIGRATION

Below We reproduce the paper on
immigration" written by one Of
the young lady graduates Of the
Central high School, Miss Leona
Nelson. and which deservedly was
awarded the medal donated by the
Interstate Bank and Trust Company,
Of New Orleans. The essay shows
a good business train Of thought on
the question and shows a familiarity
with the topic seldom experienced.
The others papers submitted showed
also a good idea Of the subject, but
the paper Of Miss Nelson was so far
superior there was no question as to
its being chosen as the one entitled
to the prize.
We take pleasure in reproducing
the essay herewith:
immigration is one Of the most
vital topics Of the day. The question
Of the restriction Of immigration is
now a live one before Congress, and
each year there are a number Of
meetings of the immigration COM
mittee Of Congress when hearings
are held on this subject.
The benefits Of immigration are
becoming recognized by many as
important. and an indispensable factor
in the development Of the State and
South, but there are some who still
think that the immigrant is neither
needed nor wanted here.
Some think that the larger part Of
the immigrants landing in this coun-
trytoiay are Of the undesirable class,
but the Federal immigration laws
are being rigidly enforced at all the
ports and very few, or II any Of the
undesirable class, get into this coun-
try. Many also are Of the opinion
that the larger proportion Of the inn
migrants landing in this country
come as paupers, but this is not so,
for during the past fiscal year about
5000 immigrants landed in this
country and the money brought in
by them was over S5S, 1000, 900.
immigration has played an i'm
portant rart in the great industrial
development Of this country. Were
it not for the immigrant many Of the
manufacturing centers would be at
standstill and the construction Of
new railroads, canals, ETC., would
have to be discontinued. Therefore,
immigrant labor is appreciated by all
Of our great commercial enterprises.
The value Of immigration to the
South cannot be overestimated.
There is an immense area Of the
richest and most productive land
in the United States in the South,
that is practically unoccupied.
Louisiana has an area Of twenty
eight million Of acres, Of which only
five and one-half millions are under
cultivation. There are nine millions of
acres of unoccupied and uncultivated
alluvial lands within its borders, the
richest and most productive to be
found anywhere in the United
States.
Louisiana and Mississippi have
been advertised all through the
North, East and West. Louisiana's S
exhibits at the big Land Show at
Chicago attracted world wide COM
ment. The Illinois Central railroad
ran a demonstrative train through
six or seven Of the Northwestern
States. There are applications from
all over tthes North for Louisiana
literaturel and also from Canada

tie1ice, South America, and all the
countries Of Europe. New Zealand,
Australia. South Africa, and, in fact.
from almost every country on the
globe. The magnificent opportunities
LOUISIANA offers to the homeseekers
are fast becoming known through
out the world this speaks well for
the rapid future development OF
Louisiana's agricultural resources.
One vessel arriving with immi-
grants from Italian and other Medi-
tenanean ports on April q, 1911,
carried 4e6 aliens, Of whom sol
stated that il was their intention to
remain in Louisiana. The immi-
grants coming from that section
furnish good labor for the sugar
plantations and to the truck growing
industry Of the State.
Mississippi also affords great op-
portunities to the man who would
be a builder Of home. The crops
that can be grown here are equal to
and frequently greater than the crops
grown in Northern and Western
States.
The growing season is longer and
the winters milder in the South than
they are in the North. The climate
is one Of the most attractive
features Of this section. Il is that
Of moderately warm temperate
zone. The winters are never severe,
the ground never freezes and field
work can be done all the year.
Northern immigration has helped
the South a great deal, and espe-
cially Mississippi. In less than
three years several towns have been
founded by northern immigrants
right here in our part Of the country.
For instance, take Grand Bay,
Alabama. Several years ago it was
a village and since the northern
people have been settling there
It has grown into a small city. 1t is
improving every year and will con-
tinue to do so. Most Of the northern
people are hard working people.
These are the kind we need in the
South.
The natural advantages found in
the lower Mississippi Valley terri
tory are: HealthfuI climate, fertile
soil, schools and churches and good
transportation facilities.
The advantages Of Mississippi are
advertised all through the North and
every month there are parties of
northern men who come to look at
our land, and most of them buy land
and settle here.
immigration through the Eastern
seaports has largely been attracted
to the overcrowded cities. During
the year 1912 there were added to
the population Of this country
by foreign Immigration through
Atlantic ports 951 ,25s, and Of this
number only 16.8 per cent went to
farms and was added to the rural
population, while 1872 per cent was
added to the population Of the cities.
Thousands Of these immigrants were
farmers and would have gladly con-
tinued as such if conditions had
favored that course. These people
are needed in the South and We
want them here. They can ae-
complish so much more for them
selves and families here than they
can in the cities. There is such a
demand for farm labor that every one
can find work with better wages
than he would receive in the factories
and mines.
The city of New Orleans is SC
we'll equipped for the handling oi
immigrants at her new immigration
station, that it should be an easy
matter to divert some of this i'm
The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1914-06-12

migration tothe Southern Mississippi
valley.
The Legislature Of Louisiana has
made an appropriation for the
specific use Of helping immigration
in this State, and has an office in
New Orleans. The purpose Of this
immigration station is to help all i'm
migrants BY advising them Of the
opportunities Of Louisiana and in
securing them work as they are
released by the United States i'm
migration officials. The planters,
saw mills, and truck farmers keep
this office posted as to their wants
and the alien is told Of the offers
made by the several parties, and he|
can select the position which suits
him best.
The members Of this department
visit the immigrants after they are
settled in the State and assure them
that they want to make them
their fellow citizens and wish
them to succeed. At different times
during the year the secretary Of this
department makes a visit to each
and every one Of the foreign colonies
in Louisiana, which are composed
of proud and happy people.
1t is right that the country should
adhere to the policy Of the restriction
Of such immigrants whoare criminals,
diseased or vino may become Ipublc
charges, but it is not right that this
country should change the policy
which has been responsible for the
development Of the nation since
its infancy. immigration has made
this country. Enterprise and cour-
age, forcing men and women across
the ocean, have oulit up here a
nation Of enterprising human beings.
People from all countries Of Europe
have made this country their homes
for nearly $50 years, and to them
we owe the rapid strides in our
development, both intellectual and
commercially.
Constantly laws are proposed that
weuld deprive this country Of immi-
grafton. Are not these foreigners
entitled to an entrance 10 this coun-
try made so remarkable by the
efforts Of their forefathers'
One man proposes a law judging
immigrants by their height. This
would have kept out some Of the
worlds greatest men like Napoleon,
Wagner, Hartman, Carnegie and
Alex. Pope. Others suggest literary
tests. This country is supposed to
be the lard Of hope, Of opportunity
and Of education. The men who
started the nation declare that men
were created equal, and they were
lsupposed to be equal whether they
lwefe lheky enough in their youth to
get an education or not.
! This Country wants honest
healthy, courageous men and wo
men, seeking for liberty and oppor
tunity, and it needs many millions 0
them.
