That Tired FEELING

The warm weather has facilitating effect,
especially upon those who are within doors

is the result. This feeling can be entirely

which gives new life and strength to all
the functions Of the body.

Americanized Foreigners.

In all discuss ions in regard 10 for
eign INN grafton no one is so radical
as to advocate prob btory measures
against immigrants who come with the
determination 10 become Americans.
We want no more foreigners, but we
are willing TO receive all Americans
from Germany. France, Ireland and
Italy that choose to come. But no
Germans must remain German, no
Irishman must remain Irish when he
casts an American ballot. The fact
that there are German communities
unassimilated; Swedish colonies who
can not speak an Engl sh syllable and
devoid of all American principles;
Italian quarters with Italian ideas of
cleanliness and most un-Americau
ideas of social order; il is such facts as
these that have created the fast grow
ing and intens fying distrust of for
eigners, and caused such demand for
restrl ctlve laws against immigration.
America has been so persistently
advertised as the land of freedom. that
the criminal classes of the world have
come to regard it as a place where
people do as they please. 1t has been
so blazoned before the world as land
where the people rule, that all social
aud political visionaries, cranks and
doctrinaires have come to regard il as
a legitimate territory for experiment.
ing with all their pet theories. 1t has
been so widely published as land
where the poorest and weakest could
earn his bread that the beggars of the
world have turned their eyes to our
shores as paradise where bread is
earned without sweat and ease bought
without eff5rt. America has been so
well advertised that all the criminals
Of the old world have focked to our
shores, and have recoiled in disgust
when they have discovered that tho
prison bars in this country are as
strong as in Europe, and the gallows
rope as non.elastic. Anarchists and
social infidels have come to U.S. and
have been astounded to learn that we
have a well-established government
which the people love, and that trea-
son Is just as much Of crime as in
Germany or in Spain. Beggars and
idlers have focked here by thousands.
and have evidently been surprised
that they have not peen received into
the first circles of our society; for they
have been taught that all men here
are free and equal.
Perhaps we cannot blame these men
for coming with these preconceived
not ons, but We must insist upon their
announcement Of them before they can
be accepted as Americans. An Ameri-
can is one who accepts American in
situations and conforms TO American
laws. 1t Ia the too frequent attempt
of fore gners to rule the country before
they are uaturalized that has caused
the great reaction in public feeling
