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.

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. It be
hooves persons concerned' witl
the continued protection of th<
American standards to be on tin
alert, *
Many a political boom hu
ended in a dull thud.
The man who hasn't plenty o
push doesn't need any pull.

NOTICE
Po Land Owners and Their Agents

;o the Constitution of this State
'utified and approved February
LS, 1905, the General Assembly of
his State was authorized to make
j a. i i i I.......
iua enaei iucui anu specini i?wo
joneeruing drainage, and
Whereas in order to preserve
the health of the people and in
>rder to enable them to raise
jrops upon their bottom lands it
is absolutely necessary to remove
nil trash, rafts and obstructions
from the running streams of watei,
and
Whereas a local drainage law

other creeks.
You will receive notices from
your Township Commissioners requiring

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.
