secret session was then gone into for the
election of officers and the transaction of
business. Beside the delegates over one
thousand uniformed members have already
arrived for the grand parade.
President Smiths annual address dwelt
upon the necessity of committing 10 Amer
leans the care and preservation of Ameri-
can principles and institutions. The con-
troll of the public schools should be a
matter OF deepest concern. The naturali-
zation laws he denounced as delusion, a
snare and fraud. By the means o. them
in seventeen States and four Territories he
asserted it is possible to overthrow the Con-
gressional Act against alien land holders IN
this country. The following sentiments
upon subjects now foremost in the public
mind were loudly applauded:

in professions Of people. We are cursed with
all kinds Of foreign, non-American issues.
Vast un-American organizations are held
together by issues of foreign birth, for the
purpose of perpetuatiDg foreign senti-

fathers. Anarchy and destruction of all
law are openly advocated, and the right
to enforce discipline and principles of some
of these foreign orders is claimed by secret
conclayes even to the extent of taking hu-
