Personal Pr1ttle s c. 9::: y s s.:s,

it appears met with such approval that
the authorities were led to believe
that a little politics might be played
along that line-at least so it seems
election is due within a few months.
Hence the shrinking of the original
proposition to employ residents to the
I employment only of voters. 1t re-
quires no prophet to forecast the re-
suit OF such plan, and the substitu-
ton of ward politics for what was
intended to relieve a strained labor
situation, where the expenditure of
100000 or more is involved, nor the
employment of seer to predict the
opposition of the people to such a
palpable misconstruction of their ex-
pressed wishes.
The theory Of Mr.. Jefferson car
ried to a logical conclusion. would
tend TO fence in this section of the
country from further invasion of i'm
migrants from Europe. Mr. jefferson
is not original in his attitude. This
country went through its spasm of
anti-immgratiOn more that 70 years
ago, in the "Knownothing" days Had
the proponents of that theory been
successful, the entire country west of
the Rocky Mountains would today be
barren wilderness. The development
of the United States west of the
Missouri river would have been re-
tarded for a century at least. II was
the addition to the population of the
country from Northern Europe that
preserved the Union in the Civil War
and settled the country then known
on the map as the Great American
Desert. The original settlers and
their descendants have done too much
for this nation in the way of develop
ment to permit this attempt of Mr..
Jefferson at revival of "KnownOthing-
ISM to meet with any success.
Right here in Aberdeen we have
Witnessed this same thing. The early
~ettlement of this section, by reason
of its position as to timber and the
sea- attracted a large number of hardy
ScandinaYians. whose history is writ
ten large in the progress of Aberdeen
and Grays Harbor, and whose chill
dren are today among the most pro.
gesssive citizens we have. In view O.
all history, We cannot afford to pub.
fish to the world that desirable immi.
grants are not wanted on Grays Har.
Dor.
Again, thanks to the progressive
spirit of the early immigrants, their
children have been educated above the
clearing of wild lands, and Grays Har-
Dor presents thousands of acres of
rich lands, robbed of their timber,
! ready for the willing worker to make
home of his own. The clearing and
cultivation of these lands depends up
on the desirable emigrant, land hun
CRY from the battle ridden fields of
Europe. To perform this work, the
average immigrant must be provided
with work part of the year in Or
