As illustrative of how speedily. how hungrily. and how eagerly these people acquire a knowledge of our institutions. he stated to me that the United States district attorney was brought there to lecture upon American citizenship. and that this man stated to these people: "When you become citizens you have all ofthe rights I have." repeating the phrase several times. When the lecturerthis United States district attorneytook his seat and the meeting had adjourned my informant stated that an old Jew who had been here but six months and had acquired the rudiments of our language went to him and laughingly said: "You are mistaken. When we are naturalized we do not have all of the rights that you have. the Constitution of the United States otherwise provides." These people once had a rather broad liberty in Russia. It is only within modern times they have been herded together like cattle within the pale. I put It hard upon the conscience of every man who is to vote upon this bill.
