Swedes until IL is governed by the
Hunns." In more serious vein ne said
There IS but one duty In free govern
ment Nike ours that Is greater than the
duty we owe to those who offered up
their lives 10 set us free" he continued.
"and that is the duty we owe 10 those
who are TO follow us. There is an un-
American spirit of mob rule and violence
developing IN our midst-that wllful riot
ing. that mob violence which destroys
porperly and unlawfully throws obstacles
in the pathway OF those who wish to
labor This lawlessness must be stopped.
Let 1t be brought to the craven minds that
the law has another purpose besides pro-
tecting-t also Furnishes. There are too
many isnis proctegming for protection
IN the name OF liberty. Folly leads the
procession and fools stumble over them
selves 10 form in the line Of march
These isms also hnd aodgmcnt in the
minis Of our Immigrants who cannot dis
tinguish between liberty and license. Each
new ism and creed is erecting its own
guldepost, and many Of these are erected
in putrid soil. and are not inscribed in
the language we learned at our mothers
knee.
Reform should be entrusted only to
those who can read the Declaration Of
independence, and then without the aid
Of an Interpreter. If our form Of govern
ment does not suit the Gonzales and the
Polecatskls let them return to whence
they came. Our fathers formed an asylum
for the oppressed and the children must
see to It that Il is not made an insane Nasy-
ium. Anarchy should have no place IN
our country. Welcome to him who comes
with hope in his heart and no stilletto IN
his sleeve.
"Denounce also the un-Americanism
that is being displayed so ostentatiously
by those sickly snobs who are trying tc
establish an aristocracy Of wealth. Cap.
i,al should always be alert. but not ar.
rogant; labor should be liberal but not
servile. Each has ITS dignity to maintain
If this nation is to maintain rs proud
place at the head of the word this ques
tion Of capital and labor should be set
tied at once and settled right There IS
remedy would prescribe the word toler
alton, that equitable condition OF givn,
and taking. Never let the eptaph b,
written Founded by the wisdom OF th,
forefathers, foundered by the folly Of N,
sons" Teach to oil that in spite OF seem
ing Inequalities. of monopolistlc tenden
cies the world IS growing better"
