The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-07-12


English speaking countries.
Thep therefore misjudge us, and
in some cases become actively
antagonistic to our institutions
because they do not understand
them. In the last Is months
more than one million such
strangers have landed in this
country. To deal with them,
and out of them to make greater
national strength, is a great
question, worthy of the greatest
minds that can be turned to its
solution; and yet in the solving
of the problem, each one of the
least of us can have a share, and
should set forth determined to
take share. Not a foreigner
should settle in rural commun-
ity without the English-speaking
people striving by kindness and
by courtesy to become acquaint-
ed with such a person, so that
he would become conscious of
his identity with this country
and it's ideals. The question of
dealing with the foreign element
in cities is by no means so easy
Of solution. The hope there is
in the education that we may
give to their children, the ideas
that we implant; though we do
not believe it is at all impossible
to gather the mature foreigners
into some night school, and this
should be attempted.
AS we joined this year in the
praise of the past, and spoke
great words of commentator
for those who, having fought |
the good fight, have laid down
their arms, there should be
mingled with our rejoicing an
aspiration, prayerful in it's in
tensity, for power ourselves to
Join in great causes and to help
them ever so little towards tri-
umph. We are summoned by
voices that call to us from indie
pendence Hall; from the bloody
SHOWS of Valley Forge, from the
prairie and from the mountain,
from the ridges of Gettysburg,
md from the graves of all who
IN all time have served well this
country, ourselves in the fear of
God to go on with tasks that are
never ended but that can through
effort, be ever progress
ng. To the real patriot, such
voices transcend in their power
Ill the commemorative gun
powder that was ever exploded.
