HE SCORED THE CLAN-NA-GAEL.
President Smith Addresses the Pa
trjotiC Sons of America


WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The thirteenth
annual national camp of the patriotic
order, Sons of America, began its session in
this city this morning with about twenty
five delegates present, Illinois and Pennsyl-
vania sending the largest delegations. Pres
ident Smiths annual address dwelt upon the
necessity of committing to Americans the
care and preservation of American principles
and institutions. The control of public
schools should be q matter Of the deepest
concern. Naturalization laws he denoun ced
rs delusion, snare, and fraud. BY means
of them, IN seventeen states and four
territories, he asserted, it is possible to en-
trely overthrow the congressional act
against alien land holders in this country.
The following sentiments upon the subject
now foremost in the public mind, were
loudly applauded: "a few more Haymarket
riots and Cronn murders, instigated by Or
ganized bodies of foreigners, who have been
permitted to become citizens of this free
America, and who have shown their graft
tude by sending messengers loaded with
dynamite back TO their native country for the
purpose of destroying innocent people, and
who have foully murdered their members
when they failed to carry out their hellish
plans, and there will not be in our western
country, lamp posts, telegraph and telephone
poles enough to hang the miscreants.
l ask you, is there room In this
country for societies like the Clan
na-Gael, that are not in harmony with and
are injurious to American institutions, that
are dangerous to American order, disloyal
to the American government, destructive to
American principles, repugnant 10 American
ideas, and disgusting to all Americans who
have any sense OF justice, any regard for con-
sistency, and any respect for the sanctity of
human life! Have we room for societies
whose officers contract with men TO commit
wholesale murder, and then betray their
tools, that they themselves may have more
money to spend for personal benefits! One
third of our entire population is of foreign
birth or parentage. Alien flags and
foreign emblems float from our public build
ings, emblaZen our streets and head process
sions of the people. We are cursed with all
kinds of foreign non-American issues. Vast
un-Amercan organizations are held together
py issues of foreign birth for the purpose of
perpetuatlng foreign sentiments and corrupt
ing the ideas of our fathers Anarchy and
destruction of all law are openly advocated.
The right to enforce the discipline and princi-
pies of some of these orders is claimed by
secret conclaves, even to the extent of taking
human life.'
