is THE ALIEN AN ASSET OR A
LIABILITY?

Is the immigrant an asset or a La
bility? Are we better off with or
without him? These two questions
must be answered before we can in
tellgently regulate the fate of aliens
in our midst by legislation.
The alien has done a powerful lot
of the rough work, thereby enabling
the native to have more at lower
prices; to wear a white collar and
send his children to high school and
college. The alien builds and main
tains most of our railroad roadbed,
most of our highways, bitches and
canals; he does the hard work in the
mining and steel industry and he
makes most of our clothes. From the
stadpoint of Anglo-Saxon race purity
he may be liability, but economical
ly he is distinctly an asset.
The average alien lands in America
in the prime of his strength. Some
body else paid the expense during the
first sixteen or eighteen unproductive
years of his life, an expense reaching
minimum of $4,000 to $4,000. In
other words, when half a million able
bodied immigrants reached our shores
in twelve months, labor power costing
two billion dollars to produce was
placed at our disposal FREE. The
parents of Europe paid for the pro-
duction of the man power that was
and is an enormous factor in the crea-
ton of Americas wealth.
Still speaking strictly from the
economic standpoint, it would seem
that the Importation of ready-made
allen labor power regulated in accord
ance with the needs of factory, field
and mine represents an asset of great
value to the United States.
What do we propose to do with this
asset? October Sunset.

NEWTON PIONEER VISITS IN
TOWN
B. c. Arnold of Hays Recalls Many
Early Incidents

Early Incidents
B. c. Arnold of Hays, Kans., spent
today in Newton renewing old time
acquaintance. Mr.. Arnold is none
other than the same B. G. Arnold who
was one of the first board of county
commissioners chosen at an election
in Harvey county, held in 1872. He
left here fOrty-five years ago, going
to Hays, where he has since resided,
and for the greater part of that time
he has served the county in public
Office. He is at present justice of the
peace, having held the office for about
fifteen years.
Mr.. Arnold had received a copy of
the Kansan's fiftieth anniversary
number ,and remarked that he had
just read his advertisement which ap-
peared in that paper. He was then
in the harness business here.
Mr.. Arnold is well preserved and
seems to be enjoying the best Of
health. The kanSan enjoyed a brief
visit with him this morning, a visit
cut short by the fact that Mr.. Arnold
was anxious to get out and hunt up
some of the real pioneers, such as A.
B.. Gilbert, ]. C. Johnston, and others
he might run across. He planned to
be here only today.
The Kansan reporter would like to
be around when Arnold gets to swap
ping "reminiscences with Cal Johnston
or A. B. GiIbert.-Newton Kansan.
Judge Arnold went to Newton
about the time the town was laid out
before the coming of the Santa Fe
railroad. He built the third house on
the townsite- the lumber, by
wagon, from Cottonwood Falls, dis
tance of sixty miles. Several other
houses were built by him, only one of
which has stood the ravages of time
the balance were destroyed by fire.
Most of the old timers have joined the
silent majority and are sleeping in the
Newton graveyard.

The decision of Judge Purcell in
the Normal avenue paving suit may
bring up a serious question as to
other streets in this city. He decided
the time of filing of the petition with
the City Clerk was the date to be
counted; that the Register of Deeds
books a that minute proved who was
to be counted. There is no section in
the law that provides for either in
Petition cases, but is in cases Of Reso-
luton, so the Judge ruled it held in
the Petition cases.

COLONEL ROBERT INGERSOLL
(By M. H. j.

On a day long gone, a neighbor of
Bob Ingersol's, in Peoria, said to me
that he--Ingersoll-wa the greatest
man that ever lived.
At that time he was a rising figure !;
but had not achieved the local dis
tinction as Colonel of the 18th Illinois
Cavalry in the Civil War, and although
not nationally known, plaster-of-Paris
busts, electro-plated, true to life, of
the Colonel, were on display by ad-
mirers- -proprietors of village drug
stores.
The enthusiastic neighbor, pressed
for definite truth, would not claim
that in literature the Colonel was the
greatest man that ever lived, nor in
art, the sciences, philosophy, history
or economics, yet in an indefnable
way he had impressed himself upon
the citizens of the thriving city where
he lived as one who reigned in mental
air currents far above the dead
pockets" Of the earthly fog.
A friend of mine and comrade-an
attorney in Peoria-of the physical
type of the bean pole, but crowned
with an excellent head, expressed his
conviction that no speaker could ad-
dress a jury and win a verdict who
fell short in waist measurement; he
claimed it always inspired him to see
Colonel IngersolPs stout figure, broad
shoulders and ample bread basket
confront jury or popular assembly.
On the stump the Colonel was a
prime favorite, second to no man in
the history of our government; his
memory as an orator shines with the
lustre of Cicero and Demosthenes; no
appeal to the masses of his country
men surpassed his widely quoted
speech in Indianapolis during the
Civil war in support of the govern
ment-it had the finish of romance,
the eIoquence needed in support of a
great cause.
But his great gifts were often tar
nished by the support of discredited
preachments, and, paradoxical as it is,
many of his notable antithesis, all of
them in fact, rest absolutely on the
truths of christianity; he had no
where else to go, but to the eternal
verities as set forth in the bible
In his intellectual encounter with
William Ewart Gladstone in the North
American Review, he held his own ad-
mirably as a gladiator standing for
''the wiles of error" repudiated by
the greatest thinkers of all time.
1t can be said in truth that in his
intercourse with his fellows he gave
gifts unto men," that he was equipped
with every accomplishment except
that of faith in which he was born
and reared; as an apostate he sound
ed the lowest depths fo unbelief.
Who was Voltaire? A false light
set to wreck the navigator anxious to
avoid the hidden rocks that obstruct
times far-spreading tides; and Inger-
soil? he was like unto him.
Summoned in the twinkling of an
eye to the great change which awaits
US all, his wife was overwhelmed by
the catastrophe parting from a be-
loved and ideal companion; in vain
she resisted his viii that his body be
fcremated, so astounding for her was
the change from the serene sunlight
of domestic happiness to the unspeak-
able eclipse.

Its Stepbrother.

It's Stepbfother.
r T appears that baseball can
claim q sort Of step-brotherly
relationship to it's only real
rival for public favor, the game of
golf.
Writing to Golfers, James
Edward Hungerford credits George
Wright, the old time ballplayer,
with being the first to introduce
golf in America.
Wright, short fielder Of the Bos-
ton club, in '72 and thereafter, and
one of the pioneers Of baseball in
America, had a small store in Bos-
ton. Along about 1883 he was
looking over the cricket catalogue
of q London firm, when he noticed
an ad for golf clubs.
Wright thought it might be a
good idea to get q few Of these
clubs for a display, 50 he sent for
a batch Of them, and put them in
his window along with a few
boxes OF golf balls.
A Scotchman passing the store
saw the display, dropped in and
wanted to know where he could
find the golf course. Wright, now
seventy-six years old, and living
out in California, says there was
not q golf club in America at the
time and that the first golf shots
here were made on Q vacant lot In
Boston.
Although nearly half a'century
has passed since Wright was in
his heyday as q ball player. he
established q record that stands
unequalled to this day.
He enjoys the distinction Of be-
ing ranked as the all-time short
fielder on what is called the Grand
National All-America team, q
mythical organization, to be sure,
but based on the records Of the
professional ball players since the
earliest days Of the game.
In 1873, Wright, in fifty-nine
games, fielded for an average Of
.940, hit .422, for a total Of 1852
bases.
