November 30 we read in English paper "Chicago Daily News" a very important news. That the Senatorial Committee of the United States introduced a bill to stop European immigrants to America for the coming year; from March 1, 1893 to March 1, 1894. The causes for stopping the immigration is cholera. Americans are afraid that next year cholera will arise again in Europe, there is a fear that immigrants will infect America with cholera. This introduced bill would be very beneficial to the workers of this land. Americans despise those immigrants who cannot write nor read. Their opinion is such: unenlightened person, uneducated, is living like an animal. Man needs material and spiritual nourishment. He who does not eat cannot live, if you will not nourish your spirit by reading books and newspapers, which gives nourishment to your soul, then such a man is not fair to himself, weakens and impoverishes his own soul, and soul without spiritual work is lost. For this reason Americans build schools, print books, publish large quantities of newspapers, which enlighten the man and the enlightened man morally reared will not become criminal.

The United States statistics show that the great majority of robbers, thieves and all kinds of criminals are from the uneducated class of people.

Therefore. for this reason the United States is thinking to issue a new statute against such immigrants of Europe. The new statutes are as follows:

If a person between 12 to 55 years of age cannot write or read the native language, if married and head of a family, and not having $100.00 will not be allowed to enter United States land, besides this, must have an affidavit from the ambassador of the United States.

Brothers Lithuanians! We have been speaking to you many times, we did ask and beg you to take out citizen papers, which is of great value to you. Here is what the government can do to those who have no citizen papers: it can send them to such a place where there are very few inhabitants, or unhealthy climate, or if you disobey to such government's attempt, you will be send back to the old country like a prisoner.

By seeing that the immigration statutes of the United States are changing every year, brothers Lithuanians, we must take in consideration for ourselves that by lack of knowledge of laws, we may get very easily into trouble. Now is the time to bring over our relatives and friends. If you are thinking to remain in America, take out citizen papers without any delay.
