WALKER COTTON WEIGHER—McCormick: (Vote For One) D. M. BULLOCK RIVER HEAD, L. I.—Extreme caution should be exercised in mak ing any changes in the restrictive im migration laws of the United States particularly any change which would result in letting down the bars to un restricted immigration, the Commis sioner Gfiieral of Immigration, Har ry E. Hull, told the members of the Junior Order df United American Mechanics at their 76th anniversary meeting held here. Mr. Hull pointed out that there a*e now in the United States about 8,00Q000 unnaturalized aliens and as serted that if their wives and chil dren were permitted to come to this country without quota restrictions it would virtually throw down tho bars to umtestricted immigration. He called attention to the fact that the United States’ annual pay roll and income exceed that of the entire world and said that it is this pay-roll and this production of wealth that we protect by the re strictive immigration laws. Hip gave as another illustration of the danger of unrestricted immigra tion the fact that in too many cases they did not become naturalized or in any way Americanized. Mr. Hull uiiged that further efforts be made to instill ideas cf American citizenship into the aliens who were already in ' this country. An example of the coun try’s neglect in this was apparent at the beginning of the war, when it was found that we had upon our hands thousands of unnaturalized aliens whose loyalty and devotion to government were not for the United States, but were quite incongruckisly resting in the bosoms c* their father- lands, from whence they had come to Ameiica for merely social and eco nomic reasons. X REAL OR FALSE The desire of so many to attract attention, to appear * prosperous, to sail under false colors, causes them to impose up j n t!( mselvies the chains of slavery. Monthly pay ments c:i the installment plan, the living above one’s means are jealous macters that demand days of drudg- e:y, hours of worry, causing new wrinkles, gray* hairs, and shortened Irrs. The momenta’.'y satisfaction that may be derived from putting on a sham is small compensation. The old car suits fine until the nc'ghbor gets a new model with a differently shaped hood. The clcthes would do well for another season, but what would people say? The furniture looks great until the won derful bargain sale is heard of. Everything can be bought for just a little down ar.d a litti"! a month. Not so bad to hea^l about* but how fast those months come around.
