Until the Toad in fun
Said ‘Pray which leg goes after which?’
And worked her mind to such a pitch,
She lay distracted in the ditch
Considering how to run.
Mrs. Edmund Craster

Restricted immigration is not an offensive but purely a defensive action. It is not adopted in criticism of others in the slightest degree, but solely for the purpose of protecting ourselves. We cast no aspersions on any race or creed, but we must remember that every object of our institutions of society and government will fail unless America be kept American.
Calvin Coolidge
