ablebodied and hard working
people Therefore that question
would stand no showing at all
Now that I have given you Llus
debate from a studied standpoint
shall proceed to give you my rea-
sons why immigration should not
be restricted
First of all L will ask you n
question Your parents area
foreign torn some of you liko
wise they and you have made
good citizens havent they They
have established a good busine
here in fact are even indcpendci I
of you Some have aocunmia <
lots of money others are mcreiN
comfortably fixed enough I hey
are not dependent on city or coun-
ty for a livelihood Have we not
room for more like lb em Cer-
tainly Then you say immigra-
tion should be restricted Yes
to those that are afflicted as wc
have too much of that on our
streets today each country
should be made to take care of
their own unfortunates Then
again lalte the importation of po-
tatoes from England isnt it
laughable when we have hundreds
and hundreds of acres of land ly-
ing idle good land where every-
thing growable could be raised
Evidently we lack people 1o work
it or else our farming people are
too lazy to work it if such be the
case either way then we need
more immigration not restriction
of it There is one question we
are all thoroughly conversant
with and that is that foreigners
of all descriptions as a rule are
thoroughly industrious and hard-
working They know nothing
else but thriftness from infancy
I believe I could stand here for an
hour or more and cite instances
where immigration should be urg-
ed and worked on with all our
might and main but as there are
others to be heard besides my-
self tonight I will close this and
say that immigration should not
be restricted byno means what-
ever

PARADISE FOR FISHERS
A large force of men is still at
work on the Long Key fishing camp
which bids fair to become one of the
most popular fishing resorts in the
United States The main building is
nearly completed and the cottages
have been made better than new In
the winter adjacent to Long Key the
tourist has but to make his wants
known as to what kind of fish he
wishes to catch and the captains of
the various boats will land him there
and very soon the fun is begun and
lasts until the manipulator of the
rod and reel gives up in sheer ex-
haustion Jacksonville TimesUn

PHYSICIANS FEES I
The remuneration of physicians
originally consisted in presents but
at the time of Hippocrates payment
in money was already customary
Physicians received also publio
praise the crown of honor the
freedom of the city the privilege of
eating at the kings table Physicians
employed by the state received a
yearly salary as high as 2000 in
some instances Rich people woiuV
pay enormous sums for a successful
treatment and a case is recorded in
which 200000 was paid

arguments and the result was a
victory for the negative side com-
