He has taken- a leading part In the immigration de bate, and. while a zealous advocate of immlgratlonof the right kind, he is In favor of restrictions to keep out the undesirable class. His speech In full is as follows: I .The Senate' as In Committee of the Whole, having under consideration the Dili . 443 to amend an act en titletl An act to regulate the Imml grallon of aliens Into Ihe United States," approved March 3, 1903 Mr. Simmons said: . Mr. President: The propositions contained In the amendment just rad are not new proportions, and espec- iaily the first proposition, which jfrju vides an educational test for Immi grants. When we reach a vote I shall ask to divide the question and vote upon each proposition separately, j The proposition to require an edu rational test for Immigrants has. here tofore received discussion and indorse ment from both Houses of-Congress, from President McKlnley, President Koosevelt, and mure than fonce from the Commissioner of Immigration. In the Fifty-fourth Congress a proposition to apply the educational test to immi granta was passed by both Houwm. In the 'House the vote in favor of that 'bill was 195 to SO. In the Senate it "was passed by the decisive vote of 52 to 10. That bill did not become a law by reason of the veto of President Cleveland. It jwas parsed In the House , over his veto'by a vote of 193 to 37, but failing to receive the I requisite fwo-thlrds vote In the' nate, It dhJ not become a law. j Again, In the Fifty-fifth Congress a bill embodying an educational test pasted the Senate ty a vote of 45 to 28; and, again. In the Fifty-seventh Congress a bill applying an educa tional test in the -form of an amend ment to House bill 12191 was adopted by a vote of 87 to 7. t , . It cannot, therefore, be said that this amendment proposes a new prln . ciple in jeglsiation. It' having four times received the emphatic Indorsement of oikv or the other branches of Congress. The Republican national platform -for thivuarlS98 declared. In Dositr'e and etupitaxlc u ins. In favor of excluding Immigrants who could not read and write. I read from that platform; . 1-W the proUKflon of . the quality of our .iierlcaii eitUeiihr tUnl of I tlie uifs of our worklngtiicn against! the ratal competition of low-priced labor, we demand tliat the Immigration laws be tlioroughly enforced, and so ex-l4-iitled a to exclude from entrance lo the United States those who can not rcd nor write. Not ohly that. Mr. ' President, bat President McKlnley, who was elected, upon that platform " in his Inaugural address delivered' March 4. 1897, ;rec ugnixed and indorsed, in the broadest and most comprehensive terms, the principle Involved In this amendment. 1 quote from that address: .Our naturalisation and Iinnilgratfon - laws sliould be further Improved to the constant protiMtion of a saft, a better, aiul a higher eitlxetisliipj 'A grave peril to the Ilepablic would be u .t-itlzenhlp too Ignoran to under stand or tot vicious to afpieciaU1 the Rreat value and beneficence of our In stitutions and laws, and against all w!k come here to war uion tliem our gates nutst be promjtly and 'tlgluly closed. j Tot only President McKlnley, but our present Chief; Kxecutlve, j Mr. Ruosevelt, in his message, to Congress December 3. 1901, Indorsed; the educa tional test proposed In my amendment in the most positive language. Here is what, he says upon this- subject: Our ireseiii Immigration laws are unsatisfactory. . We neI every honest and efficient, immigrant fitted to be come an American citizen every? Im migrant A ho coUcs here! to stay, w1m hringM liere a strong body, a stout heart, a good head, and a resolute purr liose to do JiLs duty .well In every t way nd to bring up his clUldren a law abiding and Cjodfearlng monibm of the coimiiunity. But there should be , a otTinpreliensIre law enacted, with, the object of working Uireerold improve, meiit over our present system. . The second object - Savs President Roosevelt In Ithls message ; . of a M-uper Immigration law ought to-be to. secure by a careful and not merely pert unctory educational test Home Intelligent capacity to appre cate American, institutions and act sanely as American cJtizen. - Tli is would not keep out all anar chists, for many or thepi belong to the intelligent criminal classes, i Out it would do wjiat is also in point that Is, tend to decrease tlie sum of ignorance, sof potent-in, producing the envy, suspicion.' malignant i kiss ion, and I tat ret 1 of order, oat or which anar chistic sentiment mentally springs. . ' Again, during the game Congress. In a second message, sent to the Sen ate,,, December " 2, 1902. President Roosevelt: reiterated the recorhraenda- lion made by-him In his message -of December 3. 1:901. In this- message the President said: : - - I again call your -attention to the need of passing a proper lniraigratioti lav. covering tlie points outlined in my message to -yon at the first session of. the present Congress. i i i Continuing, the President says! ' ! Substantially taicii a bill luvf al ready passed the House. . it. J I have here. the bill referred to by the President. The President calls it a "bill' In his message; but, as a anat ter of fact. It was an amendment to the Immigration' bill which, passed the Hoxise at that session of Congress, in troduced by one of the Representatives from Alabama, Mr. Underwood, arid it is in substance and effect almost U.cn tloal-wlth- the amendment whfaeh I have offered. I will read the amend inent thus specifically recommended IMMIGRATION and Indorsed by President Roosevelt. It is In these words: Tliat in addition to tlie fiersons ex cluded under tlie' foregoing section, admission Into tlie United States shall be denied to all persons' over 15 years of age and physically capable of read ing wis can not read the Rngilsli lan guage or some other language. . The bill with this amendment In corporated passed the House of Rep resentatives on the 27th day of May. 1902. but , on account of the failure In the Senate did not become a law. This amendment thus specfically ap proved by; President Roosevelt goes further than my amendment, in that it requires that every immigrant over 15 years of age- shall .be required, as a condition i to entrance, to be able to read and write. That, of course would sugject women and children ef both teves to the test prescribed. My amend ment is not so drastic. It merely ex cludes adult males who can not redd or write, exempting the wife and chil dren of the alien from the test. Again. Mr. President, the Commis sioner General of Immigration has re peatedly recommended this' legislation as the only adequate means of effi ciently restricting Immigration and keeping out the undesirable elements of European and Asiatic immigration; which Is today flooding the country.; I will read what the Commissioner Gen eral said jin his report of June 30. 190S: As a means of preventing a furtlw-r Increase tit alien Immigration, it will be necessary, if such a oicy b deemed expedient, Neither to enlarge tlie pro hibited classes b- adding thereto tliose ttlio are illiterate: those whom age or feebleness? renders incaable of self- eupport. ic at all. but teniorarlly and under tlie; most favorable conditions; ihose who itave not brought a suffi cient suiu or money to enable tliem to maintain "themselves for a reasonable lime In tlie event of sickness or tent porury lack or employment; or clc to wopt adequate. . means, enforced by sufficient penalties, to c0niel steam- itlp companies engaged In the ikassen. er lmsln-ss to ofcscrvo In -rootl faith le law which forbids them to eo- ?onruge or solicit immigration to the United States. The alternative of the Commission ers proposition our exuerience. I think, proves to be an illusion. Co prohlbtion or panaities against a steam hl coaxiny.engagwil in bringing im migrants to tnls country has or will prove- effective to exclude these un desirable classes. v So the recommen dation of the Commissioner General would bo.' so' far as practical results are concerned, reduced to his Yl-st proposition, to-wlt. a law excluding illiterates.' f Mr. Preeident. therw has been a very marked d.ange in the character I of the immigration to Ibis country dur ing the last thirty years. I In 15$ 6 9, 73.8 per cent., and as late is 1880 64.5 per cent, of the en'ire immigration to this country came from northern and western Europe. They oame. chieliy from - England. Scotland. Ireland. Germany. Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. t They were an Intelligent, sturdy. In dustrious.' and thrifty people. The rate f Illiteracy among them was less than that which today obtains in this coun try. They represented the best andi the hardiest element of the national ties from which they came. They were not adventurers, but men who tought better conditions and higher opportunities under more liberal in stitutions '.and laws. They were : in large part descendants of the people who originally ' settled 'this country, and who. since : the close of the Civil War. have conquered the wilderness of the great West and Northwest and made that section of our country so Treat and.; powerful-and rich. 1 The governments under which they had been reared, while monarchical In form, were In substance in the main representative. - ' j . By heredity and training they j un derstood the principles of freedom and of government Jay the people. They were fitted to become good citizens of the Republic. "Those of them whd did not speak" our language quickly learned to speak It. They came with the purpose of finding and making a per manent home for themselves and their children. They readily adjusted them selves to our habits and customs, threw off and dismissed forever all thought of their old allegiance, came undet our flag, fell In love with our Institutions, mingled and intermarried with I our people, and were rapidly assimilated and Americanized. In 1869. of the entire immigration to this country only nine-tenths of 1 per cent came from southern and eastern Europe. ? In the year 1880 only 8.5 per cent of the entire immigration to this, country came from southiern and eastern Eurone.. The few who came during this period from southern and eastern Eu rope were representatives of the; best element f their nationalities. They came asjbona fide citizens, with the purpose lot becoming permanent cit izens of I the Republic, and soon be came Americanized in habits and cus toms, thought, and aspirations. Mr. President, this situation has changed.: and the change has brought us face to face with a danger which we can not afford longer . to Ignore, and which calls for prompt and effi cient attention on the part of SCon gress. Let us compare the r p esent Immigration situation with that which I have dust discussed. i In" 1901 only 22.5 per cent and in 1900 only -25.3 per cent of all the im migrants,, landed upon our shores came from northern or western Europe, while in 1901 68,6 per cnt and in 1900 66.7 percent of this 1 migration came from .eastern and southern Europe. - I hay not been able to get the ex act figures for the last four years, but the proportion of Immigrants re o re senting the hardy races of northern and western Europe has been ' grad ually decreasing, while the proportion of immigrants representing the) eas- i (Continued on Page Two.) i AROUND THE HINDU Or In India tlie Car Traveller Must Car ry Ills Own Redding No Official Awakens sleeping Traveller Wheu Destination Is Readied Bad Hotel Accommodations Hinduism Has Outrooted Buddhism at Benares, a City Over S.OOO Years Old Weird ami Imoressive Scenes by I he ' (ianges A .Maharaja Comes to Bathe With Kla borate Caravan or KletluuM.s and Camliels Omstaut , Throng of Bathers Composed of Pil grims.

There are no Pullman sleep ers In this) country, and the ; tourist must carry his bedding with him. X'ight trains have compartments con taining board seats which can be usd as couches and hanging shelves upon which oiie may lie. t Tlie traveler carr rles his own blanket, pillow, sheet, towels soap etc. and occasionally has to rely on these at hotels us well as mi the trains. The cars are entered from the side, and one must take his chanee of awaking at the right stalloif, for there is no official to give him warn ing. In India It la customary for foreign ers to take an Indian servant with them who acts as Interpreter and looks after the baggage and looking after baggage I no -easy task In this part of i the British empire!. After we had made one short trip without assistance, we( were, glad to yield to the custom and Goolab. a Caleutta Mussel man. proved himself an invaluable aid In dealing with the baggage coolies whose language we ' could not; under stand and 'Whose charges varied from the legal rote a the minimum to three or four time: that If the tourist shows h'mseif a novice at the' business. The hotel of India are declared by the guide books to be bad. and one does not feel like disputing these au thorities after having made the trip. I do not mean to say that there is no difference between them, for in tjev ernl places we found comfortable rooms and in some place palatable food. Everywhere we were so Inter ested In what we saw that we could endure almost any kind of accommo dations, but at one place the fare wa-: so unsatisfactory that we were reduced to eggs and toast. Goolab, overhearing some mutterlngs of discontent, took It upon himself to report In the hope of securing some improvement, and the clerk asked- me for particulars. I told him tliat I had not intended to make any complaint, but that as he was good enough to . inquire. I would say that we did not like the cooking, that the crackers were scometfmes mouse-eateii and that we" found a worm in the cabbbage. He. thought that the mice were inexcusable? but, as if the question disposed of the mat ter, asked "The worm was dead, wasn't It?" I was compelled to admit that It was. Leaving Calcutta we sought the an cient city of Benares, which bears the distinction of being the center of Hin duism. In fact. It has been! the re ligion capital of India for 2.000 years or more. ,At Sarnath. Just outside Benares, stands the first Buddhist pagoda.-said to have been erected nearly BOO years before , the beginning of the Christian era to commemorate a spot In the deer park where Budda taught his dis ciples. Recent excavations near there have brought to light one of the Asoka pillars which, though unfortunately broken, still bears . testimony to the skill of the sculptor as well as to the zeal of the great Buddhist king. But these ruins are all that there Is left of Buddhism in this vicinity where Buddha lived and taught and where his doctrines were once triumphant, for Hinduism has virtually rooted out Buddhism, adopting, it Is said, the de vice of making him one; of the Incar nations of their own god. At Benares one sees Idolatry in its grossest and most repulsive forms, and It Is therefore as interesting today to the student of the world s religion as to the devoted Hindu who travels hun dreds of miles over dusty roads to bathe In the Ganges. Whose waters he considers sacred. Benares is built upon the north bank of the Ganges, and it is estimated that each year It Is vis ited by a million pilgrims. ; j - When more than 300 miles from tne city, we WITH JENNIN.GS INDIA AtOOL pr IDOLATRY By VIXIAU JENNINGS BUY AN. i I I - if saw' In- caravan, of one of the Ma- iaraiJli( Maharaja - is the. title borne by nmive princes) on its way to the riveri'"; Thece were five elephants, a dqzerii&mel and 20 or 36 bull carts beitp'4iumerous pack animals and ho.rKepj.il' The trip could not be made in myclfJrpss than, two months, and all this the sake of a bath in the water'Jif the sacred river! .

"Domn it, Hinnissy," said Mr. Doo ley, "he bates us out whin we folght sion of the women is benumbing, but it will give way before the. spread of Kuropean and . American influence, and with It will go the practical ser vitude of widows, as the practice of suttee (the burning of widows) has practically gone. . But the ' caste sys tem, resting upon vanity -and pride and egotism. Is more difficult to era dicate.. No where in the world la caste so Inexorable in Its demands or so degrading in its influence. The line between the human being and the beast of the field Is scarcely more distinctly drawn "than the line between the various castes. The Brahmins belong to the priestly class and are supposed to have sprung rrom the mouth of . Brahm, the great creator; the Kshalrias. or .warrior class, are supposed to have sprung from the shoulders of Brahm; the j Valsyas. or merchant class, are supposed to have sprung from the ihighs .of Brahm: while the Sudras, or laborers, are supposed to have sprung from the feet of. Brahm. There are numerous sub-divisions of these castes J and be sides these i. there are outcasts. al though there does not seem to be any room below the Sudras for any other class.' The caste system not- only af fects social Intercourse and political progress, but it complicates living. A high caste Hindu cannot accept food or drink from a low caste and must purify his water bottle if a low caste touches it. , ; About 70 years ago a reform In Hin duism was begun under the name of Brahmb Somaj.- "; It was built upon monotheism. : or the worshlo ot one god for which. It-claimed. to find au thority In J the Hinduusacred books. It drew tof itself a; number of strong men." among them Mr. Tasrore and Mr. Sen. the' latter; malting a. trip to Kngland to present the principles of the. new faith before prominent reli gious bodies there. :. ;' .- The Arya Somaj. another reform sect, sprung up later. Both .of these have exerted considerable -influence upon the thought of India, far beyond their numerical strength. Sq . far. however. Christianity has made great er, inroads upon Hinduism than any of the . reformations that have been attempted from within. - At Allahhbad . we found two Chris tian colleges, the Allahabad Christian college for men and the Wanamaker school for girls. Dr. A. H. Ewing is at the head of the: former and Miss Foreman, the daughter of an early missionary, at the bead of the latter. Both of these schools have been built with American money. : Mr. Wana maker having been , the most liberal patron. They are excellently located, are doing a splendid work and are affiliated with the Presbyterian church. Fifty dollars will pay for the food, room, clothes and tuition of one boy, while J 30 will provide for - one girl, and interested Americans have already established ' several scholar. ! ships, but money is Lad'y needed to I enlarge the facilities of - both these schools.
