SELECTiVE IMMIGRATION

1t is long, long time since patrio-
tic Four,hoi July Csatols boasted
eloquently that America was the re-
fuge Of the oppressed Of all nations,
says an exchange. 1t was true once.
Whoever would come, oppressed or
NOT, was welcome. Then our hospi-
tahty began to be abused. Too many
men whose vicious propensities were
repressed in their native lands trans
ferred their activities to a country
where the cult of individual liberty
enabled them to plot and practice re-
voIutionary schemes with less hazard
and less exposure to punishment.
Public opinion on immigration as it
was, unrestrained and unlimited,
changed slowly but it has changed
completely. No one would now ad-
vocate repeating our restrictive laws
altogether, and ieW who regard our
civilization as worth saving would
relax them at ALL Those men make
them mono severe, for they are far
from making us secure We can OK,

Four Trains ArnuNed
on Mobile B Ohio P.P.

Only two trains in twenty four
hours is what we are experiencing
now, a condition that the people of
Macon have never before known TO
exist, even in the days of yellow fever
panics. The two trains, Nos. 5 and
6 have been annulled entirely, while
No. and No. 2 only make a partial
run, No l going out from st. Louis
and continuing as far as Okoona
where it makes its return, and No.
2 out from Mobile, running to Stone
wall. and retracing from there. This
condition Of affairs IS supposedly due
TO an assault that was made on a rail
road official at Meridian, last Tues
day evening.

Something 10
Think Ab0ut
SOME INFLUENCES
By f. Il. WALKER

TN THESE days of doing big things
which cannot be done properly
without putting into them the hard
est kind of work, accompanied with
undertaking concentration Of thought
there is a disposition among certain
classes Of employees to allow disturb
ing influences to belittle their eff
cheney.
Trltiing as these retarding breaks
may seem to the young man or wom-
an who is inclined to entertain them
IT not overcome, they soon become
formidable barriers in blocking the
way to progress.
The thoughts Of last nights rollick-
ing play or gay dances, as they come
trooping before you in the morning
when you take your place at your
desk, may unfit you for the days
work
Under their influence your mind
Wanders, eludes control and plates
you at a positive disadvantage with
the man or woman who is able to think
Columns of figures refuse to prove
themselves; words are msspelled:
hands tremble and nerves tingle. III
your dismay you wonder what has
come over your usual placidity.
At the next desk is worker twice
as much in earnest and not one quar-
ter so Hurried. This timidity of yours
is proof of the presence of disturbing
influences, which are digging pitfalls
about your feet and leading you
blindfolded to the brink
The very f1exiblity and ease with
which this is done, fail to arouse your
suspicion until in some way or another
you sense that you are standing ON a
precarious base, in imminent danger
Of topping over
And thousands of others like YOU.
through disturbing Influences are
standing helpless at the brink, discon-
certed and miserable.
Yesterday you and they were GER
tain of the future
Today everything is in doubt, sim
ply because Of the lack of sufficient
will-poWer to drive frivolous thoughts
from the mind and to step down on
the solid ground of common sense.
And these same disturbing inf1u-
ences have been fooling with mankind
since the foundation of the world!
