We are bound to stay here for at least two weeks more. and they might as well understand it first as last. In my judgment. speaking from what I have heard today. we are bound to be here at least four weeks longer. We will be here three weeks at any rate. and we can not put in three or four days any better than in discussing this immigration question. It is a question that affects every city. every county. every State in the Union. it affects the whole country. The evils of imnigration are striking a blow at the heart of the nation. they are affecting us most deeply when we attempt to deal with the different problems of citizenship and statesmanship in this land. We ought to discuss this question. and we ought to discuss it among ourselvesnot merely print our speeches in the RECORD to send them to our constituents. I am informed by the gentleman from Indiana that more petitions have been filed in this House in favor of action on the immigration question than upon all other matters put together. That shows that the American people are waking up in reference to this subject. that they are beginning to understand that this immigration question is the question of the day. Therefore we ought to take hold of it and act upon it. If in order. therefore.
