Why. Mr. Chairman. in our own city of New York. where there are so many foreign born. it is affecting and touching to see the interest which men of the class such as the gentleman from Missouri [Mr. RucKmE] has called attention tomen who come here over the age of 45take in learning the English language. learning to speak it. learning to read it. and learning to write it. until. when the time comes and they sign their final applications in the courts. 90 per cent of those men can sign their names. I do not for a moment agree with any man that disparages our foreignborn citizens.
