J. Ellen Foster. the president of the nonpartisan Womans Christian Temperance Union. all of which is important and germane to this discussion. We hear a great deal said in our day about the "Heathen Chinee" and in favor of restricted immigration. I believe in restricted immigration. This Congress ought to pass a bill. We have wisely closed our gates against the 450.000.000 Mongolians of the Chinese Empire. At the same time. I believe in kind.humane. and Christian treatment of those who remain here. If I had my say I would go a little further in the matter of restricting immigration. It has been wisely said. at the other end of this building. that there are a lot of creatures coming here now from European countries who bring nothing but an appetite and an alimentary canal. If I had my say I would stop the immigration of Mormons. communists. anarchists. nihilists. bomb throwers. paupers. lunatics. and idiots. Why. I just read in my newspaper that fifteen lunatics and eleven idiots were recently landed in New York City.
