ASSIMILATION?

At no period in our history has
there been as much substitution-the
making use of something less adapted
for that which would be the nat
ural selection-as has been done with
in the last few decades.
This twentieth century may, thus
far. be well designated as the era of
substitution, not only in things for
the use Of man but also in the selec-
ton of the people to use them.
One of the most glazing examples
Of substitution had been in the ma
terial we have been getting for our
much Wanted melting pot until now
all but a few altruistic mental vacui-
ties are singing low about our ability
to assimilate every thing dumped
upon our shores, and to make good
Americans of the refuse of Europe.
The Dillingham; percent immigration
law. at best an inadequate make
shift, will expire by operation of its
expressed terms the first of next July,
and then we will have nothing on this
side of the Atlantic, and less on the
other, to arrest the flood which will
pour in upon us, unless the Congress
shall in the mean time pass an i'm
migration law that will protect Am
erica for Americans.
Every intelligent American realiz-
rs that the Congress is now confront
ed with the dilemma of choosing be-
tu cen a protective tariff law that
will re-commit this country to a Bus
mess isolation, or to a policy which
will enable Commercial America 10
,noage in world trade.
With all due respect to the Con
press, it does o know what is bes.
for the country, and it will be influ-
enced by those who seemingly present
the best case and make the greatest
noise about it.
immigration will at best be but the
tail to the kite of either policy I'M
less there be sufficient pressure
brought to bear to make it an indep-
endent issue.
This pressure should be brought,
and at once, for, whether we are to

Gus isolation. or become a real fac
