The balance of the population, about three million, is of pure Kuropean stock. Practically all of the twelve million mestizos and Indians are illiterate.

However, the spirit of the Aztecs, the dominant Indian element, survived their condition of peonage and a universal demand for fair conditions has always been manifest.

His intimate in these affairs was Alvaro ObreKon. a planter and merchant destint-d to precede him as president. Knds Copper .Strike. Calles was civil governor of Sonora from l!u; to l'.i.'O. He js 1o jlaVe persuaded the copper workers to acicpt wasc reductions, to enable the American operators to resume work. Ho developed new irrigation projects and doubled the agricultural production of Sonora in two years. Public and private subscriptions were obtained for a technical- school in Herinosiilo. where two thousand young men and women are now "bein;.; taught engineerln":. mining, printing:. shoemakiuK, domestic science, and other useful vocations. When ObreKon rid Mexico of Cartanza and later was elected president, Calles was summoned to Mexico City to serve as chief of the, cabinet. President Calles declared emphatically that all these and other national uprisings in Mexico were caused by economic ills and not because of the revolutionary habit. The quick, decisive manner in which all'the people helped suppress the Hmrta. outbreak of 1924 supports Calles' contention. Mexico expelled the Spanish repime and later Juarez disposed of the French and Maximilian 'in . an endeavor to do what Calles is committed to further. It is in effect the division of the preat feudal estates amons the peasants. The present strength of Franco conies from the stability of her numerous small farmers who own the inn, they till.

RABBI PLEADS WITH CONGRESS TO HELP ALIENS Asks That Doors Be Opened Just a Little to Let in Few More. WANTS OWN PEOPLE IN Same Jew Whom Imperial Wizard Referred to Nehemiah for Answer. Bureau of The Kourier. JI3 C, st. N. AV.. Washington. Washington, Jan. 12. - Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, of New York, the big Jewish preacher who seems so violently opposed to the Immigration laws of the country in which he has seen fit to make his home, has recently been before the House Immigration committee of Congress urging that the bars be let down just a little, an opening wedge, as it were. Wants Committee to Act. In other words he now wishes the committee that put through the last immisration law to relent somewhat and in addition to the aliens now admitted under the law. to let In a lot more who might take advantage of the opportunity and have their passports vised prior to July 1. All of which goes to show to what maneuvering those in sympathy with aliens will co In order to gain the slightest advantage over the real Americans of this country. This Jewish Rabbi is the same man Wise who once challenged Imperial Wizard Kvans of the Klan to a debate on the immigration question. The head of the Klan set the rabbi down hard with his answer which was sent in a telegram, as follows: Go to Nehcmialt. "Quoting the great Hebrew prophet Xehemlah I would say unto you: Why should I come down in the valley and debate with you; I am busy building a wall.' " On his recent western trip Dr. Kvans told this story to his many audiences and it always made a distinct hit and caused outbursts of laughter. And on several occasions Dr. Kvans added another sentence, as follows: "And f might have told that, rabbi that the wall we were building wouldn't have any gates."

KLAN'S NATIONAL PROG
At the Threshold
JyjATIOlSiS, like individuals, offer us valuable lessons as their history is reviewed. We can determine what the tuture wall be by closely studying the past. There, is in history the account of a nation whose experience was very similar to the condition by which our own nation is confined at the prseent time. The nation referred to was newly emancipated. It was beginning to grow into a force, that it might take its place among the coming nations of the earth. While its former condition of slavery does not exactly present the situation of our own nation, yet it gives a good and thoughtful background for the arguments to be advanced. The nation in question came up from a condition of slaverv, which was chaos, and they would have remained in that condition just as long as they had their consent to do so. But there came on the scene a mano
whose fiery speeches awakened the national conscience. This man had a vision: he saw things that were hidden behind the screen of the future. It is said he saw the invisible. To see the invisible is to comprehend the spiritual; therefore, this man had a spiritual ideal, as is true in every case where a brave heart is seized with a lofty ambition. Advocating An Ideal. This man began to advocate his ideal with all his might. To him the cost was trivial. He dared to pay the price of having a conviction. Everything he had on earth was forfeited. He sacrificed his all. but he retained his ideal. This spirit of his was contagious. It spread among the people who were meekly plodding along in a mediocre way, putting up with their condition of slavery. Then came the reaction. How much better, however, is it to steer clear of those conditions in the first place, rather than through half-hearted spirit of citizenship to allow an entire nation to be plunged Into servitude, or worse than servitude! Leaving their condition of slavery, this historical nation whose historv onlv to n- 'V- " also to a new land. The God of their fathers had promised them another country. He had made that nromise as umuing as ms word and we now see them going forth with zeal to the new land promised them. To Serve Civilization. As they went forth, the.r movement was freighted with the greatest amount of good for their own race and all other races of tlie earth. Words can scarcely overstate the amount of good that was wrapped up in the possibilities of their movement. It was to result in law and theh lawwas to serve as the basis of all civilized governments after them. In their movement was the germ of literature, including poetry, hisstoi y and song. Though they had a leader, the movement was also to eventuate in another leader even creates Uianthe original one. They were to give to the world many idealistic forms of learning, both in the government and in the home. They n-ere to give to the world archiifecture and masonry. These and many other tolessings were wrapped up in the poasib lities of their movement. They needed only to reach the 1 ind which they had been promised. Then these blessings would begin to grow, and, after they had taken roo . the natk n as well as the entire world -vouM receive benefit. Nations yet to be born, depended upon that historic movement. The movement ccuid net have been allowed to fail leca' se too many others depended on :t: ''hey of that generation were acting not only for themselves but for othes, and they owed it to others not t( fail. They were confronted by the lecessity of presenting their boc!ei l.ving sacrifices, for if they failed other.3 would fail. Fork of the Road. The Crisis. Crisis is a turning point. It is a time of choosing: it is coming to the forks of the road and determining which one to take. These people, whose history we are now considering, had every reason in the world for continuing Their movement with the utmost assurance. There was nothing behind them but slavery. Surely they would not wish to return to that! Their condition en route argued that they should continue, for the country through which they traveled was not a fit place for them to settle. It was a desert country and would not sustain their national life. The land to which they were going was a further argument for their continuing. It was to be for them a permanent national home. It was a good and attractive land: they had a deed to It handed them by the God of their fathers. Once established as a nation in that new country, they could begin their mission of helping other nations by beginning to bear the national fruit which they were destined to bear, such ns law, literature, and similar blessings. It seems there would have been no argument against their continuing until they had reached their destination. Only a slave would wish to return to slavery, only a careless, unambitious soul would wish to remain in a barren desert. All foreseeing people among them, the people who had vision, would, it seems, elect to go on. But such was not the case. They had left their country of servitude or the place where they were formerly persecuted; they had traversed successfully the desert and had now reached the border of the land that was to be theirs. Freedom was in Bight. All they had lo do was "go in and possess the land." But did they do it? No. they did not. They failed to do what every argument of reason would dictate they should have done. Larked Vision. Human nature is a strange thing. Many among those people actually wanted to turn back and degrade themselves by again being placed in an inferior condition; many others wanted to sit down right where they were. However, there were some among them of stout heart who voted for an advance movement. This paper could continue by showing the re malnder of their history but it would only be the account of defeat, disaster, and death all of this because they did not have the proper vision. We will leave them hanging in the balance and now turn our attention to our own condition. . The land of America is a land of promise. :It was given us, we firmly believe 1y the God of our father.

our ancestral mothers, whose hearts were as brave as those of their husbands. They faced the dangers of forI csts and savages and rigorous cliI mates. 1 nd 'tlons. under which they i came, though painful and hard, were j not as bad as those from which they were getting away. They had left a .situation that was a little better than slavery. rl hey had been overtaxed in their home across the sea; their rights of citizenship had been invaded; their religious privileges had been curtailed. They could not live as free men nor work as free men nor expand as free men. They protested, hence they were called Protest ants. As such they founded this country, a veritable "Land of Promise." The New Crisis. ' So far. the parallel is plain with that; movement of ancient history which has just been cited. Doe3 the parallel continue? It does. In the course of human events we. the sons of -our fathers find ourselves in a crisis. We are at the forks of the road; it is a time for grave decision. In our country of 110 million people (by the latest estimate) some of them wish to go back, not exactly to Europe or England, but to conditions like those conditions that prevail in these foreign countries: and some of this number wish to remain where they are without progressing. To go backward (that is. to inaugurate European customs in this country) would not be folly it would be a direct insult to our forefathers. If European countries were bad enough for our forefathers to leave, they are bad enough for us, their sons, to combat. Whereas, to remain still without progressing, is equally as bad, because that would be death. Anything that does not move, stagnates; anything that does not grow, dies. Those people of the ancient day who chose to remain where they were, received death as their reward and their bleached bones whitening in the desert sun were mute evidences of the folly of their choice. Just as only those who chose to go forward were allowed to live, so it is and so it will be, with us. There is an immutable law to the effect that only faith can generate life, lie who has faith is he who has the vision. Without vis ion and without faith we are dead. The nation whose history we have taken as a background for our present condition here in America, was the nation Israel. The time was when they- left their servile situation in Egypt and traveled toward the Promised Land. The place where they stopped and hesitated was called Kadesh-Barnea. It was there they found themselves at the forks of the road, and they chose the wrong one. Why did they choose the wrong one? Because their men were not men of vision. They were not men of faith. The result was that they died there in that desert, instead of entering into the land of promise. Short-sightedness was their ruin. Choose the Way. I have, said they were at the forks of the road, and so they were. We, too. are at the forks of the road. In the development of pur national life, we have now come tf the place where we are called on to choose which way we shall continue. It is only due to the natural growth of progress; it is due, also, to our having been asleep as citizens, until our lights have been endangered and our Constitutional privileges almost stolen from us. That brings us to another point in common with the historical story of the nation Israel. They were called a "peculiar" people, a "separate" people. The uoo or tneir fathers wished to' do a certain thing through that nation as the vehicle. He wished to give the law to the world; He wished to give the world a compendium of writings, called the Bible; He wished to give to the world -its Messiah through that nation. In order to bring all these things about, it was necessary that the nation Israel be kept separate from other nations. Their national strain must be kept pure. Hence, their God was very strict on this point. He stoutly forbade intermarriage with the surrounding nations, lie was a strict conservationist. He was against unlimited immigration. Israel, to fulfill her mission in the earth must be kept apartKor that reason, the nation was called a "separate" nation. We believe the United States of America has a special mission in the world. We believe our beloved nation has been called by the God of our fathers to do certain things. And, if God could not do His way with D A vr: SOLID J0-KO" GOLD EMBLEM H .. 1.50 earn ml Vae for H.0.

Toronto, Ont., Jan. U'. Adys S. Vogt. a former United States Immigration officer, testified during the trial of Benjamin Abels, charged with having sold forged United States head tax certificates, that he had an arrangement to assist in smuggling aliens into the United States with Abels by the wrongful issue of landing cards to passengers on a lake steamboat plying between Toronto and Lewiston. N. Y. Vogt said he was stationed on the boat to issue cards to those desiring to land in Lewiston. and that Abels had agreed to pay him 515 for each card. Israel unless restricted immigration was practiced, neither can He do what He wills with- our nation, unless we do the same way. We must keep our blood pure. AVe must keep our strain American.
