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

from sections of southeast Ku- ?i

: ,
Columbia, S. CNov. 22.?-A eon- .
duetor tm a south-bound train out of I ,
Charlotte, over the main line of the j |
Southern. charged a ( reenville man
-1") cents for a rid.* from Karle, X. ('., ,
to Bhieksburg, S. C., a distance of six .
miles, and the man having complain- ,
led to the South Carolina railroad ,
; commision. Chairman ('augbman took',
the matter up with (ieneral I'assen- L
ger Agent \V. II. Tayloe. at Wash- I .
ington, who, in a letter received by (
Chairman Caugiiman today, con- ,
linns the charge as correct and pro- ;
i per. the extra charge, of cents being j
made b< cause tlie passenger did not j
gel a ticket.
1 Mr. Tayloe says he regrets very ,
much I lie company is not allowed to
make this extra charge on intra-state
' business, as he feels it would he
best for all concerned. lie thinks
1 the conductors have all they can pro:
pei ly attend to in looking after I he
1 physical operation of the trains, and,
what is most important of all. the
1 safety of passengers.
' "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.
