Heavy Immigration Coming;
1t Should Be Selected.

Within the next few years a heavy
stream of immigration may be expect
ed into this country. Recent arrivals
are nothing compared to what may be
expected if the bars are at all let
down.
1t seems reasonable that immigra-
ton should be welcomed providing 1t
is properly selected. We can use peo-
pie whose culture and customs are
similar to ours. We should frown on
a vast horde of undesirables who
would only serve to drag us down.
rather than to lift themselves up.
immigration from the British isles,
desirable as it might be, is unlikely.
For the past half a century England
has used every resource to divert emf
grants toward her colonial posses
sions and dominions. Some may come
from Great Britain-they will not be
many.
The best immigrant. from our
standpoint, is the north European.
This takes in all Nordics, such as
Seandinavians, British, Hollanders,
Belgians and Germans. Most of these
people would go ON the land where
they can produce instead of to the
cities where they make more mouths
to feed. With no animuS toward the
Mediterranean, Semitic or Asiatic peo-
nIas we would dislike to see more of
them admitted to the United States.
They do not assimilate readily and
form disturbing elements. They have
no tradition of freedom or self gov
eminent and cannot understand what
Americanism signifies These vital
points are readily cOmprehended and
taken over by the Nordic be he En-
glish German or Scandinavian.
Immigrants are coming They
should be selected well and then
treated with fairness and consldera-
ton. In little while they will take
hold in full swing and help us with
the big tasks of citizenship IN THIS
great democracy

day afternoon. Following the hearing
Justice Burrows bound the men over

the bail and went back to Jail. The

Keller. 1t is claimed that Oates and
Moore fed when Keller approached
their island lair. leaving all pos
sessions as they made their escape IN

the hearing that he had later heard

ROCK CHURCH
AT LIBERTY To-
BE CONTINUED

Rev. Kieffel, pastor at Liberty
Ridge Evangelical church for the past
two years, left Saturday fer Illinois.
He declined to state where he was
going, saying it was nobodys bust
ness but his own. Rev. Kieffel also
declined to state whether or not the
church services would be continued.
The congregation was organized
shortly after the Civil war by colony
Of German settlers who located in Lib
erty township. For years services
were conducted there in the German
language but the younger generation
growing up to speak the language of
this country and a difference of opin-
ion as to the tongue to be used in the
pulpit has caused a dropping off in
attendance in the past few years.
The old rock" church ON the Stit-
ger road has been a landmark for
nearly three generations. 1t is sub
stantially built of native limestone
and the church yard and cemetery
adjacent are attractive and well kept.
Just south is comfortable parish

it takes place, does not infer a falling

more clearly marks the absorption Of
the descendants of the original set
tiers into the mass of Americans and
the gradual dropping away of the
colony idea so prevalent among first
nf al -
these descendants have remained III
the old church while others have scat
tered and become affiliated with other
church organizations.
There are about 35 families in the
congregation. To give the older mem
bers what they need and to hold the
younger ones an effort will be made TO
find an active minister able to proper
ly conduct services in both English
and German. The idea of German
sermons, one member explains, is to
satisfy older members who have never
learned and cannot clearly understand
English. On the other hand younger
people cannot be held by exclusive
German services and are not properly
impressed with a sermon in English
unless it is well handled.
Members Of the congregation wish
it clearly understood that the church
is not defunct or passing. The organ
ization is sound financially and has
nothing to worry about. OF the char
