Mr. Chairman. I have listened with a good deal of interest to the gentleman from Nebraska . I knew something of the character of the immigrants to which herefers. I have met them on the prairies of Kansas. have seen them as Irishmen. Scotchmen. Germans. Swedes. wearing every badge of a new immigrant. They settled upon the raw prairie with few implements. I have watched their growth into citizenship and their development of the prairie of Kansas into one of the best agricultural States in the Union. Men who settled upon those prairies 25. 30. or 40 years ago. with no knowledge of our language. of our institutions. or of our laws. andbut little of our people. are today among the very best citizens we have in the country.
