BURNETT as the best "rough and tumble" debator on either side of the House of Representatives. While the people of his district and State loved and admired our lamented colleague. lie did not belong to them alone. lie was a servant of a larger constituencythe whole Anierican Republic! He was recognied as the highest authority here on the great problems of immigration and naturalization in his lifetime and now of paramount importance. He stood for the doctrine "America for Americans." and his earnest and invaluable efforts for a decent restriction of undesirable immnigration not only have been transcribed into our statutes. but go marching on in the quickened and awakened consciousness of millions of Americans of the menace of the unassimilat6d mob. His death was not therefore a local or sectional loss alone. for this Nation suffered a blow when JOHN BURNETT died.
