Des Moines Capital: Uncle Joe Can
non, who is running for congress, has
had many kind words to say in regard
to the foreign population in the Uni
ted States. All the other politicians
are, or will be engaged in the same
business. If there are any reforms to
be introduced in regard to foreign i'm
migration. such reforms must be fore
ed from the public by men who are
not candidates for Office and do not
intend to be. If the public can take
a hint, the public can see that after
the war is over the politicians will
be insisting upon all sorts Of forgive
ness and compliment toward their late
enemy. They will insist that foreign
languages shall be restored in the
public schools. They will insist that
foreigners should be allowed to vote
on their first papers. They VIII IN
sist that the foreign languages must
be reintroduced into the churches on
account of the dear old people, who
have failed, during seventy years OF
