of salem, tne well Known newspaper
man, delivered a lecture at that church,
Wednesday evening, before a good sized
audience. The subject dealt with was
"The Immigration Problem, " and Col.
Hofer takes the stand that we need these
foreign laborers to do our heavy work on
streets and farms, especially in Western
Oregon, and declares that the solution of
the difficulty is not so much the sup
pression of foreign immigration as it is
the more equal distribution of these im
migrants throughout the United States.
He cites the tact that whila there is a
congestion in New York and other Jarge
cities' of the East, in this section er coun
try we teed more laborers to clear up our
land, harvest our fruit crops and do vari
ous other kiads of menial labor, such as
these people from across the water usual
ly expect to secure in this country. Ex
clude the claBS that cannot be worked
over into good, American citizens, says
Colonel Holer, but let the reat eome and
then distribute them throughout the
United States where they are needed.
The address was well received and Col.
Hofer baa the hearty tbanke of the W.
H. M. S. for his kinaneaj."
