punishments in their own lands, and
who are repeating here their treason
Gus disdain Of the rules of civil action,
and their ridicule Of the rights of
others and scorn Of the government
that protects them, was suddenly
and forever blocked.

All good citizens welcome, respect,
esteem, hold as worthy fellow citizens
every decent man who comes from
another country and allies himself
with us to find peace and prosperity,
and who cheerfully takes upon him
self his fair share Of the burdens of
such citizenship, and all good citizens
hold in high regard the sojourners who
do not care to become naturalized but
who, with becoming propriety, stand
aloof from public affairs about which
they have no right to concern them
selves and with which they have no
right, or business, to NEEDLE. But of
the naturally depraved; the chronic
agitatOrs; they who under any circum-
stances are "agin the government"
the haters of law and order; the an
archists who scOff at the stars and
stripes and parade under the red flag;
the Malta that tramples the national
banner under foot and assassi-
mates officers Of the law; the
communists, socialists and nhi-
lists, who would wreck society to
build upon its ruins a hideous thing
Of their own the social sewerage Of
other countries, the spawn Of ignO-
rance, beggary and crime; the Off
scOurings offal and blackguardism of
effeteness, we have enough, too much,
and it should all be manipulated with
an iron hand and taught TO know its
place, and strong ana immutable laws
should be made and executed TO dam
and dyke against its influx, and to
cast it back from our shores, as do the
massive cliffs that dash back a deluge
of brine that would drown and devas-
tate land that it would otherwise
overflow.

The republics greatest danger lies
today in the actual control that
self-seeking politicians have given
to the alien elements, and
it is time that the American
people had put their foot upon such
and the constituency, as such, upon
which they depend for place and with
it pernicious and inimical power and
authority. In nearly all the great
cities, the majority Of candidates for
Office seek an alien constituency for
the purpose of obtaining a balance of
power" in election, and that balance
Of power controls legislation by 1.-THE
balance Of power" in legislative bodies
and among executive officials. I'm
der such a system of politics Ameri-
canism is utterly overwhelmed and the
rights of the whole people are as moth
ing.

convention in the city of San Fran

BILE, might have been thus, and truth
