? * ALIEN BLOC BUST. 1 The aterapt of the alien bloc to br?ak down the few American - - immigration restriction laws has not stopped. The method merely has been changed, says the Dear- ^ born Independent. j For years the favorite method of fighting proper immigration safeguards was a resort to tearful "pleas put up on behalf oMhe '"oppressed and persecuted of foreign lands." Uncle Sam, be- 1 ? * -il ( ing a person or large syinpamy and ready trust, was long looked ! upon as au easy victim for this 1 cajolery. But u number of things ' have happened during the last few years which have taught the United States that its sympathy has not always been well placed . and its trust has sometimes been abused. The passage of the 3 per cent law, restricting alien immigration, brought loud wails on behalf of the "persecuted of other lands." But for the first time in American history it failed of its effect, and Congress this year strengthened instead oi weaseiied the law. Whereupon the alien bloe promptly abandoned its sentimental attitude and sought ? new weapon of offense. That weapon, the existence of which is just becoming widely apparent, is a more insidiously dangerous one than the worn-out wail of former years. To wield this weapon, the alien bloe has ready at hand New York newspapers, always pliant, and chain newspapers anil magazines which cater to group disaffections and anti-American propaganda. fauvc nan rnaenn mitnf* ilVlllll t IVCII n liv/l * V unvii v ???? into the propaganda of these interests for opening wide again the doors of the country for alien undesirables. The tears have bien found ineffectual; the reasoning does not exist. The editors and writers of these pro-alien publications instead have adopted the expedient of assuming that 'the mistake of enacting immigration laws already has beeu proved and the only thing to do now is to hurry and repeal them. "The immigration restriction . ^ laws, which, it is conceded, have gone too far?reads a typical ...expression in this latest type of propaganda. The only person who has done the conceding in the particular example cited is the particular editor who has i ^ t. _ __ i i. _ 2 1 ^ done inis writing, ana who ieeis permitted to set forth his momentary policy in terms of axioms. The theory behind this propaganda is that children, if caught early enough, may be convinced that two and two make three? provided that the statement is pounded into their memory sufficiently often, and also provided that 110 concrete examples are sel before their eyes to controvert the statement. Authors of this type of propaganda feel?and perhaps they an right?that those who read theii assertions are incapuble of reus * soiling, and so with coinmeiidabk charity they furnish the conclu sion, ready made, with no bother some logic attached. Ridiculous us this alien propa ganda may seem, -there# is no de nying its powerful effect.

You will receive notices from your Township Commissioners requiring you to do this work. The law specifies that the notices are to be sent out between the 1st clay of July ami the 10th day of July, but authorizes the County Commissioners to extend the time in cases of necessity and on account of the lateness of the season these notices are mailed out so as to give the land owners the opportunity to do this work when the work in their crops is complete, and at any rate not later than the middle of August. If the land owner or his agent neglects to do this work within the time specified, then upon that fact being reported to ihe County Commissioners it beeomes the duty of the County Commissioners to have the work done at the expense of the land owner, and if the land owner refuses to pay the expense of cleaning out his stream it is made the duty of County Commissioners to sell the land or as much thereof as is necessary to pav this expense.
