"As if it were yesterday," said a young woman the other day, "I remember how mother used to gather us all about her every evening and quiet us from our play.

Then, gently and sweetly, she would lead us to talk about the day; tho things we had specially enjoyed, and why; the things that had hurt us, and why; the ways in which we had hurt or helped one another, and'why. Then she would talk to us about God and Jesus and the teachings of the Bible, and how these things immediately concerned us; and ofullour mother did for us in a long Professional Cards bum jiiwi luh.v iuici iv.ni. a will find reason for se rious concern in the annual report of Frank Sargent, commissioner general of immigration, which has just been Issued at Washington. This report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 19WS, shows that the population of the United Stales was Increased during twelve months by the admission of 1,100,735 immigrants and 65,618 non-immigrant alitms, bringing the total admission to 1,160,353. The increase over the previous year's record was 106,598.

As if the mere statement of the dangerous influx of foreigners was not enough, the commissioner general makes this admission: "Without exception, the countries from which we formerly obtained the greater part of our foreign population, and which are inhabited by races nearly akin to our own, have supplied us with smaller during the past year than during 1905-Ireland, Eng. land, 15213; Sweden. Germany, Denmark, and Scotland, 1,111 less. On tho other hand the four most considerable gains are: Italy Russia, Greece, 8,974 and Turkey, 5,165." It is significant that even the commissioner general of immigration has taken alarm at the hordes of undesirable foreigners who have swarmed through our immigration offices to add their paupers, insane and criminals to our already too turbulent population. Were there a just proportion of immigrants from those races "nearly akin to our own" there would be far less cause for alarm.

No disposition exists in this country to limit the number of German, Swedish, Irish, Scotch or English immigrants who wish to come here in good faith to establish themselves as citizens. But this class of immigration has fallen off most lamentably and in its place we have a heterogeneous mass of ignorant, vicious and law-defying immigrants from the south of Europe who, in tradition, sympathies and capabilities, are un-American and not fit for tho boon of citizenship in a free country. Congress owes it to the future of this country to take steps to restrict this inpouring of disturbers and paupers, Most of the social and political ulcers that have developed in America in recent years have found their originators and sponsors in the anarchist ic bodies that have been brought in and harbored under our present alien law. It is high time that America was looking toward its own future. President Roosevelt's "race suicide" fantasy is all very well as a sop to sentimentalistp, but i far greater danger lies in race poise nil." that must result inevitably from an attempt to assimilate the flood from European prisons and anarchist centers.

Let congress ponder well upon this danger that threatens the country a hundred fold more serious than the so-called corporation menace. -Kansas City Journal. T. W. Simmons Rt el Eat a to, Loan and leauranca Kttorney at Law Offlea ovar Norton MaraantUa Co.

Such occasions give assurance of kind thought and friendship which does Secretary Taft has announced his willingness to accept the Republican nomination for president. There are at least two very strong features to favor his nomination. One is that he has the confidence of Roosevelt and really represents all the principles the president is and has been contending for. Another is that Foraker and all the representatives of the trusts and corporations are dead against him. Taft is an able man with a splendid official record and would make an ideal candidate in 1908.

If the masses in this country allow such a man as Taft to be defeated by the corporations we will probably get what is coming to us and will deserve it too. Holton C. Gareld Brethouwer, M. V. Physician and Surgeon .1, much to lighten burdens of this life and make it one worth living.

The Romans drank, but their government died 1,600 years ago and their descendants, a good many of them, are traveling about the country with hand organs and monkeys begging pennies from the abstainers.

The Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, council has just passed an ordinance which provides that the photographs of those who are habitual drunkards shall be hung in saloons, and that the saloonkeepers shall not sell them any liquor. This looks to the provision forbidding the sale of intoxicants to minors, idiots, and drunkards.

The intention of the ordinance is to offer saloonkeepers a recognizad means of identification. Heretofore it has always been easy for the sellers of liquor to plead that they did not know that men were habitual drunkards. With a rogue's gallery at their disposal they can no longer be in doubt. Certainly few men would like to see their likenesses in such a collection and it should have a tendency to reduce the amount of drunkenness. Lxchaiige.
