SECRETARY PATTEN . 4 TALKS IMMIGRATION. Official of Immigration Restriction Loaguo in Oolumbia to Attend Commissioners' Mooting, Columbia, Nov. 121.?J. If. Patten, an attorney of Moston, who is secretary of tlio Immigration K est fiction League, stopped oft' to alt end the meeting of the commissioners thin week. The Immigration Restriction League is composed of public spirited men like Owen W'ister, t ho novelist, Henry Hull, the publisher, James Hronson Keynolds |lie president's insperior and adviser, John Kiskc. the historian, Joseph Lee the ]>11i 1 antliropisl and others. The object of the League is legislation that will sift out the undesirable-'. Il lias bad much to do with securing existing laws, especially those designed to exclu<le idiots, imbeciles, criminals, paupers, the insane and the like. Mr. l'atten as secretary has had eh a rye ot the League s ellorls and has '.liven the subject much study and investigation. "The immigration problem," said I'at I iui. '"is one of the most important, if not the most important, question now confronting the. northeast, and il is extremely gratifying to see the interest which this south is taking in the matter, because von people hold the key to the situation and its solution. The northeast is ovoitii.'i with Undesirable aliens as a result- ot leaving their selection entirely to the profit-making choice of t lie big foreign steamship companies, and it is now proposed to distribute ami divert these hordes to the southern states in answer to the demand of the north for relief. "No one objects to immigration a< such. It I lie admittedly deteriorated and continually deteriorating' quality o| ibis new immigration t roin sections of Kuropc and Asia so ilitter.'lit from onrs in every essential attribute ami which are sending us their very worst elements that alarm all thought I'nl students of t no problem and is causing so many difficult. charil'able, political an/ even racial problems up north. "Your man Watson has the right idea it seems to me. Stale, selection the earefill picking of immigrants by your own officials, or under their supervision, is the only feasible plan if you would escape the. serious evils from which certain northern communities are suffering so painfully, and which threatens their very so' cial structure. Such foreign steamship companies as the Cunard and the Iulernational Marine are simply using I bo iiorthesat as a dumping ground lor undesirable immigration which of course is the most profitable to them. Their sole object is profits. We have got to have more federal legislation in the way of the exclusion of the penniless pauper, the ignorant, the unintelligent. the illiterate adults, ami measures thai will lie some test, of the character the calibre, and the economic, political, racial and social fitness for citizenship in our enlightened democracy. Last year over one million and a quarter immigrants landed in thi? country. Three fourths of them settled in the large cities of six northeastern states. Over half the multitude was absolutely penniless. Is it any wonder that, less than one-tenth wont to tiie .1(5 states and territories' wes of the Mississippi river and south of (lie Potomac when they were forced by their own circumstances to settle down at. whatever work ami whatever wage they could get in tin very port. Where they landed ? Of |h< number over .mO.OOO adults eoulil no! read or write a single line in an\ language, let alone speak a word ol Lnglish. It is these ignorant am illiterate army among- others win ought by all means to be excluded They are the m?>s| profitable traf tic I cause they will put up with a.n ki:>>l of conditions and fare. Thei con.n ; prevents the coming of tin more desirable. If the steamship: cannot bring the undesirable the will till their steerage with the desir able. It is ignorant and iliilerat who are destitute ,,f resoinTes, eitii ? l>1' ability or the knowledge o self-support a?. well as money: wb have very low standards of ]ivin< and little ambition to seek a belter w1io are averse to country life am who ?rowd into the city slums, sweat shops and tenement houses wher I hoy are such a mass of unreasoi and such a fertile field for the coi nipt politician and irresponsible agi '!,'or. And that is why I Ihink von commissioner, lion. K. ,1. Watson, ha tin* right, idea about immigration ai the way to secure desirable settler and newcomers who wilt be mor worthy o| your opportunities and place in your midst. T ieir selei (ion should not he left io the profi ' making choice of foreign steamships, ( nor even* lo federal ullicials. The ] picking ought (o be done by your i own fficials or under ihoir super- , vision because tbey alone can be | made ios|H)iisiblc, and only tliey will | be I'ound to be in perfect familiarity , and sympathy with your needs, con- , dilions, interests, ideas and institu- < lions. , The south should take to heart the < less ?ns which the northeast has re- I contIv learned in regard to undesirable immigration. There is much i.i its thai has brought, home to that section iiii appreciation of what it i is to have in its midst an alien race. | Yo" haw had only a slight oxperieiu with several different nnlionali-j t ! ties except the negro, and have not | J even had the benefits of very gentle I refreshing showers of de.-irahle im- ( nii'4rat'wii which used l<> come before I the source was shifted to southeast ; Kurope and western Asia. Von are < prosperous and happy, after having I passed 111r?miih the worst iiomie, I political and social ills with which !; any alien immigration ever occasion- I etl the affliction of any land. Dur- L ing the last, twenty years you have experienced a stupendous ngricultur- 1 I al. industrial and commercial (level- c j opinent unparalleled ia history. With" I out any immigration whatsoever your 1 j total population and labor supply I | have increased faster than that of I the north with all its 'foreign in- I j flux. Not only as to population but c in every particular your growth and I [ progress have, been so rapid that to- si day the south stands in population, properly valuation, cotton mills inin- t era I products, bank deposits, etc., f | head and shoulders above where the | whole lr. S. stood al the beginning of) t jibe war. which left her for two de- i I cades a barren waste of desolation I and ruins, only to be further afflict-!} I ed by carpel bag indebtedness and J j ills. What assurances have you that. | no such menaces lie hidden in I In.* I 'present proposals of the foreign I transportation and Nfw York I'iiian- j I cial interest who with to exploit i ... 1 your resources by means ot foreigners from sections of southeast Ku- ?i rope and western Asia which have '.io \ history behind them of a nature to 1 | give encouragement and who have I < j proven so undesirable in the northeast, in South America and the West | Indies?"

' "1 hope,'' he says, "very much that the time will conio When all of these matters will be adjusted on a uniform ' basis, which, I am satisfied, would l>e to the best interest of all concerned." Of course the commission is powerl less as the point raised is on inter' stale business. - STATU OK SOt Til CAROLINA. COl'NTY OK NKWUKUHY. 1 1 I tt ('onimon IMi as.
