TO BE OR NOT TO BEP

No one can be- an American, un-
less by fiction OF the law. unless
he can come into mental contact,
through speech or reading, with
American customs, observancas, dis
cussions, policies and systems. He
caunot learn them by eyesight
alone when behind his eyes is
foreign mind; he cannot learn
them through Interpretation. Try
ing it reminds us of the story
about two blind men seeking TO
find out what an elephant was like
by feeling OF him. One said he
was hill; another, who grasped
his trunk said he was like any
other big rope. How can an alien,
blinded by ignorance OF the speech
and print OF America, get any
clearer idea Of Americanism than
did these worthless of the pachy-
derm? And being thus handicap
ped how are they to take up the
most delicate and complicated du-
ties Of American citizenship, those
appertaining to the science OF demo-
cratic government, and work them
out in the American way2 p. G A.

The professional campaign fsbri-
Gator will doubtless begin to get in
his work and to propagate rumors
and reports derogatory to the char
acter of certain candidates. We
hope, however, that their vile and
unscrupulous methods will be
frowned on by the good, honest
people of our county, and that they
will heed no report calculated
to hurt the interest Of any can
didate unit! they first ascertain the
facts of the matter. All the men in
the campaign are good citizens and
are well known, and it is safe to cay
our county will be in good hands
no matter who are elected.
