EDWARDsyILLE, MAY 8, 1921.

II Dinner.--It will be seen by an ar
ticle which we have copied from the En-
quirer, that the citizens of ST. Louis have
honored one of our senator's with the Of
fer ola public dinner. This compliment
was justly due, and may afford the indi-
vidual to whom it was made, some con-
ISOLATION for having abandoned the in
terests of his immediate constituents, to
favor those of a foreign country. But
Judge Thomas must admit, that it is
owing to his failure, during the recess of
1919, in getting up a "greasy petition"
in the form of instructions, that he is now
complimented for his "manly course"
And it is no less true, that were it not for
the manly" irmness Of his colleague
on that occasion, such Instructions would
have been given.

70 Aliens.-Aliens are informed, that
such as have arrived in the United States,
since April IA, 1902, must report them
selves to the clerk of some court of re-
cord; and wait five years before they can
be naturalized, even though they may
have declared their intention to become
citizens, some time since.
Those who have not made their decla.
ration must do SO also, three years be-
fore they can be naturalized. By the
law OF Congress, the certificate of report
and registry must be produced to the
court, as an evidence of the time of arri-
val in the United States, at the time of
application to be naturalized and by a
law passed March %, 1916, said certif-
cate of naturalization, otherwise such
certificate will be of no validity.

Mn. WARREN,
With pleasure and satisfaction, read

the institution of Sabbath Schools.
think it a favorable circumstance. that
the attention of benevolent individuals
is awakening to just sense of the i'm
portance of youthful instruction, both in
political and moral point of view; il
does honor to their good sense, to morali-
ty, and religion. The mind of a child
has been justly compared to sheet Of
lools-cap. 1t will not remain perfect
blank; and the first impressions made
upon it, will be indelble. They will
=" grow with its growth, and strengthen
with ITS strength" 1t will either glow
with the bright and intelligent characters
OF useful knowledge and sound morality,
or exhibit the dark page of ignorance,
vice, and infamy. When the mind has
become established, and has insensbly
fallen into practices, whether virtuous or
vicious, commendable or reprehensible,
such is the force of habit, that we in
stinctively pursue those practices
Hence, says the wise man, 6 Train up
child in the way he should go, and when
he is old he will not depart from ii"
How important, then, is it, that we guard
the early, as well as the more advanced
education Of our children, with anxious
solicltude! that we cultivate and improve
the tender soil, with useful and profitable
plants, before ii is oyerrun with noxious
weeds! that we store their inquirinp
minds with useful knowledge, before
they become vitiated and corrupt! Their
minds and conscicnces are equally ten
der, and peculiarly susceptible of tender
impressions; and we may now g mould
and form them as We please.
There are eyeralcircumstances which
powerfully contribute to render Sunday
School, not only capable of, but peculiar
ly calculated for, disseminating that kind
of instruction which seems dictated BY
parental solicitude. The time chosen
for holding these schools is an interesting
circumstance. Remember the sabbath
day to keep it holy" is the express COM
mand of the most high God; and in wha,
manner can our children more fully obey
the Divine injunction, and at the same
time profit themselves, than by spending
part of that holy time, in acquiring a
knowledge of the principles of the chris
tian religion +? The PROCLAMATION Of this
holy day, lays broad foundation for eve
ry species of vice and in6delity; it strikes
at the veryroot Of all morality, takes away
all restrainst, and opens wide the food
gates of iniquity. A learned writer and
moralist says, +" were it not for that happy
institution, (the sabbath) we should hard
ly sec any face ofreligion among us; and
in little time, should scarcely be dis
tinguished from heathen." The nature
Of the instruction given, also, renders

Sewing Silk.-A Connecticut paper

ing the rounds ofthe papers, which states,
and expresses much wonderment at the
fact, that one Of our Industrious Connec-
ticutdamsels, possessing thetrue Yankee
rowing peddling disposition, had reached
Albany with large quantity of sewing
silk, which she had offered for sale as
the manufacture Of Connecticut to the
great admiration of the honest Dutchman
Of New-York.-We can assure the Yor-
kers, that hundreds Of females in the
neighboring towns gain their whole sub
sistence from the manufacture of this ar
ticle and that they have brought it to
such perfection, as nearly to exclude for.
eign silk from our stores. We there

her silk, to the confidence OF every
