Wessel, an instructor at Con- | COURtTY the pfobable resuit would Have necticut College, in a lécture delivered before an audience of 150 men and wo- men in the Y. M. H. A. hall, Main street, Sunday evening, there is little cause for alarm in the immigration problem. Mrs. Wessel told her audience that the im- migration problem is not only a national problem but is an international problem. The lecturer, who is of Hebrew parent- age, took occasion to score Ford's attack on the Jews, calling such action unwor- thy of a Christian. The lecture was held under the aus- pices of the Young Men's Hebrew asso- ciation, and was one of a series of iecy tures given from.time to time. J. L. Schwartz acted as chairman of the meet- ing and introduced Mrs. Wessel = who chose the immigration problem and the Jewish immigrant as the subject of her lecture. She has had considerable. ex- perience in immigration work as she has at various times been engaged in this line of activity among a dozen or mere racial groups. The problem of immigration is as old as history, Mrs. Wessel said. Ever since man has .existed on the earth people have been migrating. When the ques- tion, can we assimilate the immigrants, is asked, we might answer it by saying that the white race in Europe today is an as- similation of peoples who have migrated from their own to other countries. The immigration problem in this coun- try is as old as the country itself. The Jews have at all times contributed to the upbuilding of this country. Wita ref- erence to Immigrants in general, Mrs. Wessell said the question, why do they come, is often asked. Taey come for much the same regson as the reason bringing the Pilgrims here in 1620. A spirit of adventure is chiefly responsible and they also come for economic reasons and for religious freedom. tept'on to. the minstrel show which the Y. M/ H.

Those who were dissatisfied with condi- tions in their countries would have set about righting them. Disaster in any foreign country is generally fullowed by immigration (to this country. . We have always had anti-immigrationists. Mrs. Wessell then went on to guote statistics showing the remarkale growth | of immigration to this coun’ry in the past hundred years. The first Immigra- tion laws date back to about 1820. In that year immigration numbered but a | &S, bridges.and. roads will hold a joint few thousands. In 1848 it numbered 40,- 000.

During the last 100 rs 23,000,000 immigrants came to our W shores. - When the war broke' out 'our foreign born population numbsred about 16,000,000 and there was another 16,000 000 of American.born of foreign parents. We have people in this country from 45 different countries. Germany. leads the world in immigration to this country. Mrs. Wessell said that she doest’t be long to that class of people who view the immigration problem with alarm. At the close of her lecture Mrs. Wes- el took occasion to score Henry Ford for his attack on the Jews.. She quoted from prominent Christian writers who .do not sympathize with Mr. Ford’s views. Mys. Wassel was given a rising vote of thanks for her lectire. . Mr. Schwartz, the chairman, cilled at- T. A B. hall WASHINGTON ALIENIST ASKS WHO WOULD BE EXECUTIONER A prominent Washington alienist and psychiatrix, Dr. D. Percy Hickling, goes one step farther that Dr. Frankim 5. ‘Wilcox regarding the advisability of put- ting to death those hopelessly insane per- sons confined in insane asylums. He exfends it to idiots and imbeciles, but ] asks who would want to be the one to carry out such a sentence. Dr. Hickling gives it as his opinion that “it would be a blessing to the com- munity shoudd the hopelessly insane, the idiots -and the imbeciles die; but 0 “The lawg says that no man is permit- ted to take a human life—no right to take what he cannot give. But. it ap- pears it would be a great relief not only to the community but the families of per- sons suffering. from an incurable disease or hopeless insanity that they should die. “The cases in many institutions aré hopeless and pitiful, but no man has a legal right to condemn arother to death ~xcept as fixed by statute. The ‘moral right’ is a_debatable question. “The problem of whether the hopelessly insane should be executed will ¥e a knot- ty one for years {o come.” The Catholic Transcript enters into the discussion in its current issue with the following editorial under the title of “Ra- ther Advance “The suggestion calling for the killing off of the hopelessiy insane does rot ap- peal {o the saner part of the people of this commonwealth. They are not vet prepared for the slaughter. “Pity that-one of their number could not be found to preside over the Norwich State Hospital for the Insane. The members of the commitiee on ap- propriations of the Connecticut, legisla- ture who favor the killing off of -the hopelessly insane may be capable of making sane laws for tho state, or they may not. They are iff the legislature and Dr. ranklin Wilcox is superintendent of the Norwich Stste Hospital for the In- sane. }| “The citizens of the state should exer- cise reasonzble care in selecting their ldwmakers and .in choosing presiding offi cers for their humane institutions.” GIRLS' CLUB IN BOZRAH HOLDS VALENTINE PARTY About four weeks ago a giris’ club was organized in Fitchville.
