both sincere and insincere, but all were
more or less Intellectual. Some other
administrations which were sincere lack
ed the practical knowledge to carry
through such an undertaking; some
which were insincere merely made loud

The several phases called for different

A REGULATION ARGUMENT

Rather striking support for the care
full restriction Of immigration IL con-
tanned in the Ohio county criminal court
records, as cited by Assistant Proseeu-
,or Clinton Campbell. An examination
Of the records shows that fully 20 per
rent Of local criminals are OF foreign
nationality and mosL OF them from coun-
tries bordering on the Mediterranean.
Mr.. Campbell considers this power
ful argument for restriction or immlgra-
tIon and nc is unqucstionably correct.
The measure just passed by congress
was aimed 10 some extent against an IN
flux Of immigrants from the countries OF
southern and eastern Europe. most or
which border upon the Mediterranean
sea.
America was settled and built up by
men Of a radically different type. Eng
lish, French. Germans Irish. Spaniards'
Dutch and SCandinarianS, contributed
most TO the carly settlement OF Ameri-
ca. At that time. II took courage. char
acter and Initiative to migrate to shis
country. From tho same sources. most
of our immigrants continued 10 come
until more recent years. After America
became q very desirable plac" 10 llNe'
with mora comforts and luXuricS than
any other nation. the softer peoples or
the earth began TO find it attractive
They are not so desirable nor 1t is just
that they should b. permitted to come
in rroportionatc numbers 10 those who
developed the country.
The fact that they seem to have
stronger criminal tendencies than the
northern races ss sufficient reason in
itself why We should regulate their al
mission with especial care.

CITY DAYLIGHT SAVING

While The Inteuigcncer was disposed
20 favor the daylight saving plan IL ap-
plied to the entire country. it confesses
TO misgGvinGs on the proposal TO adopt
the system in this city. while the sur
rounding territory and tho railroads en-
tering the city still have the usual
time
Farmers object to daylight saving be-
cause il causes them inconvenience to
observe the changed hours. City Poop
pie favor il because it gives workers
more daylight leisure and cuts down
light bills. The solution would seem
10 be to give each what they want. Tn
fortunately. this cannot be done without
confusion. So closely arc country and
city connected IN these modern times
and so interviewer are many OF their
interests. that the same time for boil
Is almost a necessity.

NEW YoRK's FOREIGNERS

The ratio Of foreign-born in New
York City shows a considerable de-
crease In the last 10 years according TO
census figures. Most Of this. Of course.
Is due 10 the war. A large number OF
foreignnrs went back TO fight for their
native lands and for various reasons
have not returned. During the war.
Immigration was virtually suspended
and since the conflict there has not
been sufficient time TO make up the de-
ficiency. With the new immigration re-
strictions, New York may never again
have as high a percentage OF foreign
born as she had just before the war
Even so. the number OF foreigners IN
New York Is astonishing. the total. &C
cording TO the census figures, being
close to two millions. In other words.
The Wheeling intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1903-1961, 1921-05-09

close to a third Of the population OF
our largest city is foreign-born. 1t
Is also interesting to note that there are
more Russians in New York than for
eigners Of any other nationality.
These figures are eloquent OF one OF
the worst faults in our immigration
system-lack Of proper distribution.
Most OF our. immigrants land at New
York With little money and bewilder-
ed by the strange land, they find lit
tie colony Of their own race. manage to
get some kind Of job to exc out an ex-
istence and never get any farther Most
of them live unsanitary. un-American
lives and instead of becoming good Am
orleans tend 10 become almost every
thing else. Environment has a power
full effect upon the life Of any individ-
ual and it is our duty as nation to
take an intelligent interest in the en-
vironment Of those who como to our
shores from other lands.
