BurNETT in the House of Representatives in a iasterly way. He was a forceful speaker. Of the question of immigration he was a great student. He went to Europe and studied the question from that viewpoint as le studied.it from every viewpoint here and when lie spoke he spoke as a man of authority. He was an authority upon that great question. Lnd did much to solve it. It was he who first in an official way brought the dangers of unrestricted immigration straight home to the American people. The law on -that subject that we have recently passed is quite largely an outgrowth of his earnest and steadfast work on that subject. His work in the House was of the most -effective kind.
