He stomps his foot and Chaps his hands,
And turns around to view his lands.

AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.
FRIENDS CLUE: To me the most interest
ing part OF THE TRIBUNE Is the Conversation Club.
in looking over the last issue saw that of the
questions TO be discussed was:
Resoired. That Chinese immigration should he
prohibited III the United States.
On this question take the affirmative. Not only
should the Chinese be stopped from settling i'll this
country, but all foreigners, matter what their
nationality. 1t has been shown by numberess
statistics and records that large majority of the
prisoners in our jaiis and the poor in aims
houses are foreigners. Thus we the freeborn ciii-
Zens of America are forced 20 support the ouicasts
OF tyranny and despetism. i say all kinds of for
eign immigration should be put stop to- aud am
sure every loyal boy and girl born under the glori
Gus Stars and Stripes will say the same Would
like TO hear from the Club.-Harry II. Moser, Sixth

FRIENDS OF The CLUB: On this question take
the negative Washington, with his fortitude his
courage, his calmness iii defeat and victory and his
faith in ms cause, secured not only liberty for our
country, but by the inspiration which these things
gave to others, in indirect way secured the
liberty OF other countries The freeing of blacks
would never have happened had not Washington
freed the whites. Washington did more than any
other person in securing religious liberty. With
out that Sunday schools could never have existed
