FRIDAY JANUARY, 3, 1913
In the following editorial the
Asheville Citizen deals admirably
'with one of the most momenteous
problems that Has been before the
American people for solution. The
citizen's comments upon this great
question of immigration are worthy
of the consideration of every think
ing American who has the future
welfare at heart. - . ; y
THE SHADOW OF ANARCHY.
Many of the leading papers of
the United States have expressed
the opinion that the aftermath of
the Lawrence, Mass., strikes, and
the trial and spectacular acquittal
of Ettor and Giovannitti has not yet
been reached, and those who have
. watched the labor disturdanees that
- came in their wake have ample
reason to believe that the shadow
of anarchy which has so long threat
ened this country has been given
fresh substance. We are almost
face to face with a far graver prob
lem than the much harped-on negro
question which certain newspapers
of the country are so fond of dis
cussing. A study of existing con
ditions and the prospects of the fut
ure! which threaten to giye an even
wider latitude in the influx of Eur
onean paupers, will convince! one
that while there is little menace in
the negro problem, the question oi
unristrictei immigration is fraught
with dire forebodings. .
Look into the squalid quarters of
the congested cities and you will
find aliens banked up in masses: oi
poverty and iilcn, rocung and plot
ting under the stauaard of revolu
tion. Would you find the abiding
places ol anarchy? Then hunt lot
the homes of the rabble which in
fests our courts. It is impossible
for a man to love a land whose
' tongue he cannot speak. ,
We cannot boast much of a free
dom which allows such conditions.
There is nothing to be proud of in
a liberty which warms a frozen
viper in its bosom, over its very
heart In one v ear alone the vaves
-. from European shores washed up on
- pur coasts more than a million im--migrants,
and half of this number
.came from Italy and Austria-Hun-;
gafy. Most of them were miserab
ly poor, utterly:;illiterateiV:.ffljd;
; through generation of degradation
and squalor they have developed
v: into stealthy and determined anar
. Schists. They come with all the
ravages born of pauperism, the fan
. aticism of ignorance, the fatalism of
: superstition and the dark and dead
ly methods i of ; the stilleto. And
;yet men are omguir.and' diwn ; the
. land perpetually solving fwhat they
are pleased term the negro problem
v r- The negro of today was born in
, ;; America; he speaks the V tongue o
-v the country he lives in. ; He is not
employed in the: mills because ;he
is' a creature of air and i suhshinef
VjHe 'does not sku&vin dark alleys
;and hidden; passages 'l)use'-ne
V i Tves i v. the open fields. That is one
; reason why $he great mill owners oi
'A the cpuntry are scouring the world
, in an effort Jo drag in- the outcasts
'i of civilized nations!:: Itinot -time
Kor,oiirovernment to do, something
along the .'lines of restricting immir
i gration, lest it be swallowed j upf in
j the everadvariclng tide of cprrup-
; tion and; death? v
- : PROTECT THE FORESTS.V
The forests of North Carolina, and
especially of v Western section
of . the state comprise . the major
part of her territory and are ' her
most- valuable asset It is right
that we should, in our generation,
develop this, great resource, and use
what we can of the wealth of f the
woodland, but in doing so, precau
tion should be taken that there be
no waste.
The amount of wealth being
squandered by unscientific cutting
and marketing, by fires and byf rav
ages of insects is apalling. '
The beauty and healthfulness , of
our climate, the purity of our water,
and our health-giving atmosphere
are all due to our forests. The
water supply of the entire "south is
dependentn'othe forests of ourmoun
tains, for here is the watershed from
which flows the streams that make
fertile the valleys and the lowlands
of the Southern States.
If present methods continue, the
forests will soon disappear and in
their stead we will have bare moun
tain sides washed and gullied by
the waters of the unrestricted floods.
It is our duty to protect the for
ests. If satisfactory laws were pass
ed for their protection and scientific
methods were applied to the cutting
and marketing of the timber, our
country would realize greater pro
fits from the woodland and we
would be enabled to hand them
on to other generations as an ever
lasting source of pleasure and of
revenue.
CONCERNING COTTON MILLS.
In this issue of the Journal is a
letter from a little girl who has
moved from Jackson county to the
cotton mill section of South Car
olina. It would be wise, at this time
when there is so much talk about
the slavery of the cotton mills, for
the legislators to take into consid
eration her evidence of how she en
joys the mills. Her views seems to
coincide with those expressed by
Mr. Thomas R. Dawley, after bis in
vestigation of the conditions pre
vailing in-the mills of the South:
Mr. Dawley once said in our pres
ence that the agitation being made
over child labor in the Southern
Cotton Mills was fortered hv th
New England .mill" ' owners, who
knew that it was only a question
of time when New England will be
unable to compete with the Sotuh
em cotton mills. He charged, that
the New England mills have in their
employ, at a large salary, a man
whose, occupation is to stir up un
rest and create public sentiment
against employing children in the
mills.
Mr. awley stated, that from the
investigation he had made, he had
been forced to come to the conclu
sion that if he were a wealthy man
and wished to do nhibmtfTm
work in the mountains of Nnrth
Carolina, he would, instead of estab
lishing schools' erect cotton mills on
our streams, where with an abund
ance of water power, and a delight-
xux i;iiuLiaie, ne . could furnish - agtee
able employment for thousands of
peopla For, he said, "If any boy
or girr. really wishes to obtain an
education, if you give himnor her
an opportunity to make the monev
uiat is necessary m order to obtain !
an education, you may be 1 assured
thepppprjtyili,

and "appreciated..;, . : , - -
DiMr. Dawley: further 'said tht
Imadeiuch a report, Jt would not. be
accepted and in all probability-he
would be asked! to resign, his posi-r
tion. 4 He did make, in substance
this report and the ; country v kno ws
that .within a shot time he. was - out
of a job with your Uncle SamiieL ;:
We say that it would be j weiltp
i
with.the other side of tie question.
