IMMIGRATION AMERICAS MOST
PRESSING PROBLEM OF The HOUR

While the present restricted i'm
migration law is being administered
satisfactorily as far as it goes, Sec
rotary of Labor Davis, himself an
immigrant from Wales, is advocat-
ing law which will, if adopted, help
to solve the radical menace in the
country as well as srem the influx
of undesirables, which it now seems
impossible to control.
Many Struggled In.
The smuggling in of aliens through
the more remote and unprotected por-
lions of Americas vast border lines
lis giving the government more real
concern than any other one topic, I'M
less it be prohibition. Secretary Da-
Wis idea, he thinks, will solve this
problem.
In the first place he would close
the door to America tightly and open
it only at widely separated intervals
to admit only those Of the most de-
sirable type and to allow the United
States to be; very discriminating in
whom it admits. Then he would
force each immigrant so admitted to
Immediately, become citizen Of the
United States or leave the country
forthwith. >-s--
Would Register Aliens.
In addition, the thousands of un-
naturalized aliens in America at the
present time, as well as those who
are admitted in the future, he would
register with the Department of La
Dor, giving the police of the various
cities wise powers over the registra-
ton. Such registered alien would be
issued a card of registration which
he should have in his possession at
all times and when arrested without
one, would Immediately be deported.
AS matters stand now, undesirables
of every class under the sun are be-
ing struggled in through the vast un-
inhabited reaches of the Gulf coast,
the Atlantic coast, the Pacific coast
and the Mexican and Canadian bor-
ders. Once inside, they make for the
large cities where they mingle with
and are absorbed by the foreign pop
slation and are impossible to locate.
Mr.. Davis plan is meeting with
great enthusiasm as he tours the
country telling it. It is regarded as
practically certain a bill covering his
plan will be introduced at the De-
cember session of the 6Sth congress.

great and noble work. From the
great cities of the commonwealth to
the remotest hamlet they have car
ried message of Americanism,
message of single-hearted loyalty to
flag and country. They have point
ed the way to right living, right
thinking, and the observance Of the
laws of their state and their nation.
They have made the Knights of the
Ku Klux Khan living, telling, vital
force for good in every community
and neighborhood.
Much important work yet con-
fronts Indiana Kansmen. Work
which it is necessary for Americans
to perform if they are to safeguard
our free institutions for our child
rem and to maintain inviolate the
sacred heritage of liberty bequeathed
US by our forefathers.
Sinister influences, un-American
to the core, menace our free public
schools. Stealthy schemes to UNDER
mine and destroy our great American
educational system through ecclesias-
ticism must be thwarted and brought
to naught. Church and state must
never be permitted to join hands over
the ruins of the schoolhouse.
Stand firm, Klansmen; preach,
teach and insist upon unqualified 10y
atty to the flag of your country and
the Constitution of the United States.
"The wonderful accomplishments
of Indiana Klansmen in the interest
Of law enforcement have excited uni
versal admiration in every realm of
the Invisible Empire. Klansmen have
to-operated fully with the properly
constituted officers of the law and
aided them in making many towns
and villages better, cleaner and sweet
er places in which to live. The val
liable work in behalf of our homes,
our womanhood and our loved ones
should continue with undated vigor.
"Klansmen must, by their personal
lives and actions, set an example to
those of the alien world. They must
obey all laws without demur and with
meticulous care. Every Klansman
should hold himself constantly ready
to answer the summons of any prop
erly qualified officer of the law in
law enforcement. In this manner
adequate results will be obtained.
They must serve and secrifice for the
right.
"Your Imperial Wizard is proud of
Indiana and its splendid outstanding
Klansmen. The wonderful spread of
American principles throughout the
state during the past few months has
resulted in an increase of member
ship not paralleled by any other

Klansmen are of course vitality in
terested in the curbing of foreign i'm
migration to America and every one
of them should miss no opportunity
in posting himself on this subject
which is of vital concern to the flu
ture welfare of our beloved United
States.
For his reason it is deemed fit to
present an anlysis of typical and
recent months immigration to the
United States, the figures being Sc
cured from official and public records
at Washington. Plans Of the govern
ment for coping with this situation
are also briefly outlined here.
Immigrant aliens admitted to the
United States during the month OF
April numbered 52,4S3, according to
a report by the Bureau Of Immigra-
ton of the United States Depart
ment of Labor which has just been
issued. These reports come about gu
DAYS after close of the period due to
the widely scattered ports Of entry
which range from New York to Homo
lulu and Manila.
Countries that are predominantly
Catholic, such as France, Ireland
Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Cuba, Spain
Latin America and the West Indies
contributed 1890 of these, while
2,111 were Hebrews. The immigra-
ton office does not classify immi-
grants according to religion, but
classes the Jewish people under the
nationality of Hebrew, which is the
reason it is always possible to learn
the actual number of this class COM
ing. Owing to the classification, it
is matter of conjecture always as
to the number of Catholics entering
the ports.
Catholics Are Cared For.
The actual number of Catholics
however, is very closely determined
by the National Catholic Welfare
Council which maintains agents at
every immigration station of the
United States presumably for 'wel-
fare work" among the incoming
aliens. It is a fact that very few
Catholics are barred from initial en-
try into the country, almost always
being given a trial to make good
here. ~
Forty-six nationalities are repre-
scented in these figures, which range
from three Koreans to 1858 English
which are the largest and smallest
numbers from any one country.
The following countries are the
principal contributors during April,
being the only ones sending more
than 1000 aliens each:
England, 1858; France, 5,048; Ger
many, 6,102; Hebrew, 2,111; Ireland
5000; Mexico, 6,991; Scandinavia.
5,151; Scotland, 7,0s7. -.
Most Are Unskilled.
Those admitted are predominantly
of the unskilled labor class and those
with no occupations at all, the I'M
skilled classification being the larg-
est. There were 1,788 professional
people admitted, ranging from six
editors to 400 electricians.
In the skilled labor class, 1905
were allowed to enter the country, of
which there were so classiications or
trades represented. The lowest num-
Der Of any classification admitted
was one cigar packer as against 1858
carpenters and joiners, the largest
number in the skilled category.

THE WANAMAKER WAY.

The death of John Wanamaker,
foremost of American merchants,
arouses new interest in his career.
Here, perhaps, is the most significant
story told in illustration of his bust
ness methods:
When he started in the clothing
business his first days receipts were
$24.67. He kept the 81 cents to make
change next morning and spent the
$24 for advertising in the morning
papers.
There was faith, at a time when
newspaper advertising was considered
largely experimental, to be INDUCED
in with caution and moderation.
Young Wanamaker's competitors were
glad to see him elbow in his money"
that way. They thought he was fool.
And one by one, he left them all in
the rear.
Other factors there were in Wanna
makers remarkable success-his inau-
guration of fixed prices, plainly mark
ed on all his goods, at a time when
bargaining was the rule; his granting
customers the privilege of returning
goods; his classification of goods and
development of the department idea;
his quantity buying and rapid turn
over, etc.
But he himself always recognized
that the biggest factor of all was con-
tinual, liberal, truthful advertising
giving the buying public the latest
news about the things he had to sell

WHY?

To the Editor of The Republican.
Will you kindly explain why this
county needs public health nurse?
l heard the other day there was talk
of two of them for US. Can't we
get along without those frills?
Yes, dear reader we can get along
without health nurses. We used to
live without telephones and there was
a time when we lived without doc
tors. We did not have State roads,
either, and there were any number
of things we did not have.
But while there were many things
we did not have, there were heaps of
things we did have that we do not
want now.
We had much more disease than
we have now. We suffered from
more epidemics of disease and the
percentage of deaths was higher. The
number of children dying each year
was greater.
Do you know that even in Garrett
county one child in every six dies
before it is a year old? Do you
know that other counties have great
ly lowered their infant death rate
through the work of the health
nurse?
Suppose one out of every six pigs
born in the county died of disease
Would you consider a dollar too much
to risk in an attempt to lower the
death rate of pigs?
Which is more valuable to our
Countrywide children or the dumb
animals?
Do you know that more than one
hundred children died in our healthy
Garrett county last year?
Do you know that there are five
thousand children in our schools that
can be helped each year?
Suppose you were the father or the
mother of sick child and did not
know where you could get some one
to help in the care of your owr
flesh and blood and one who had beer
trained for that work.
1t seems as though it is worth {
dollar year for each Of US to know
that trained helper is here ready
to help rich or poor for the asking
Come on, let's dig up the dollar anC
start the good work. l am in on it
are you?

day he had three jobs and made S.
and he told US that had been his
average lately. His increased earn
ing capacity in reflected in his pos
session of an automobile and in his
general standard of living. >He does
not feel like a wage slave, though
probably some of the agitators
would tell him that is what he is. He
feels like what he is, an industrious,
self-respecting, ambitious American
citizen.
American labor today probably is
RECEIVING greater proportiOnate
share of the profits of industry than
ever before. Wages were generally
somewhat higher during and imme-
diately following the war but at that
time profits were enormous. Except
in cases of another war and its. af-
termath or some other economic dis
aster wage scales are likely to re-
main, higher than they were eight or
ten years ago. Thus we have moved
on, a. few steps toward, industrial JUS
tice. The standards of living of in
dustrious and efficient workingmen
have been raised permanently, and
we are glad of it. While some of the
labor groups are extreme and fool
ishly selfish in their demands, like
some of the capital groups, there is
no great danger that labor in gen.
eral will get more than a just share.
We are glad that man can go to work
in his own car, but, of course, that is
one of the reasons why the cost of
living is high and likely to continue
so.
