Yet in spite of that. in spite of adverse legislation. in spite of legislation which has been hurtful to the people of that sovereign State. her growth has been marvelous. We are filling up with people. We have got there the adventurous Yankee from New England. the German. the Englishman. the Irishman. the Frenchman. These people from other localities have settled within our borders. become good citizens. have bought and cultivated our lands. and when Germans have settled themselves there. they have not called themselves "GermanAmericans." When they have become naturalized. they regard themselves as American citizens and Missourians. Mr. Chairman.
