The capital city of my State has got pushed together in a few square miles a larger population than that of the entire State of Washington. That is a great State. magnificent in its possibilities. with an opening for everybody. but with a sparse population in comparison with its area. On the other hand. take the crowded communities where we have large bodies of recent immigrants to this countrypeople who are in the habit of exploiting their children and wringing all they can from them. We want to turn those children of the immigrants into good American citizens. We want to compel them to be sent to school. You can not do it if they are to be allowed to go into the factory and the workshop and the department store. and. as the Senator from Iowa has so well said. making a judge an administrator and applying the statute here and there as he pleases has been tried. and has failed wherever it has been tried.
