AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.

X. C. Post.
Dispatches bring the news from the
East that several of she largest en-
/ ploying corporations, among them
the steel trust, are opening their
doors at present only to American
Sorkmen or TO those foreigners who
have been IN this country a certain
number OF years. Word has been
sent across the Atlantic to 10000
foreign laborers who skedsddled
back TO Europe at the beginning Of
last years panic TO remain where
they are, that there is no work for
them at present on this side Of the
big pond.
II this piece OF news Is true, it is a
most healthiul sign. 4 Heretofore
there has been entirely too much OF
the open door, the glad welcome to
the ignorant, the degenerate and the
criminal Of European and Asiatic
slums.
Land Of the oppressed" is a fine
sounding phrase and has done val,
liant service at every Fourth OF July
gathering since we walloped the Brit
ish and sent them scurrying out OF
she country, but In practice II has
been sadly overworked. The United
States has been not only an asylum
for the downtrodden. but also a
haven OF refuge for all the sore-eyed
and sore. moraled scum OF every con-
tinent on earth.
Nor has this wholesale immigra.
tion OF everybody from everywhere
been encouraged from any philsn-
shropic motives. Poles, Greeks,
Austrians, Slovenians and the like
would work cheaper than Americans,
and for this reason and none other
they have been imported by the hun.
dreds OF thousands. Is has mattered
nothing to the big employers OF the
nation that these contaminated the
moral atmosphere and lowered the
average OF intelligence. There was
profit In Il, and this fact overcame
all other objections.
But II these worked for little, they
spent less. Year after year they took
increasing millions out OF circulation.
Most OF them cared nothing for edu-
cation, for refinement, for anything
that would raise them above their
fellows il the acquisition involved an
expenditure OF money. They have
not been responsive to American In
tucnces nor have they caught the
true American spirit.
Employers have as lass awakened
to the truth that American labor,
when 1t can be obtained, is really
better for all concerned. The Ameri-

LONDON TRACKED
BY 'LALLAP AL00SA'

LONDON, July 15.-London has had
a bad attack OF the "Lallapaloosa. p"
Some Cockney heard an American
make use Of the expression and wrote
to the Daily Express to find out what
II meant. An Express representative
who secured London in search OF an
explanation was repeatedly bafied by
the fiippancy Of the solutions offered.
An American actor who was support
ing one OF the facades In Bedford-st.
expressed contemptuous surprise at
the question. why, | thought every
one knew what "lallapaloosa' was"
he said. Its the female species OF
your own gazeka family. Sure"
Other explanations were equally un-
satisfactory. A Maori war dance,
new temperance drink, and patent
medicine were some Of the futile sug-
gestions made.
Eventually an intelligent American
was found In the Haymarket Offices Of
the American Express company, who
declared, with some emotion, that the
word had no British equivalent.
"It Is the latest catchword in New
York." he said. 1T expresses aston
ishment at any strange sight or OBJ
ject. 1t might apply to a street ac-
cident in which a cabhorse. a coster
cart and an automobile were tangled
UP together, or to very tall story.
Il heard an Englishman say the
other day, Well, that's a Knockout.
and | guess that's a good translation
for Well, that's a lallapaloosa.'
For instance, IL spied a stout lady

garden on a three-foot hat. l should

MAN. FALLS
TWO STORIES:
BADLY HURT
William Tue, a Carpenter, PIungeS
10 Porch When Ladder Slips
Removed 10 City Hospital.
HIS INJURIES ARE SERIOUS

William Tue, carpenter, fell from
ladder at SO Jefferson street short
ly after l o'clock this afternoon and
was horribly injured His left arm
was broken at the wrist, the bone
protruding through a large opening
in the skin. He was also hurt about
the head and body He was taken in
the city ambulance to the hospital
where 1t will be ascertained whether
he sustained internal injuries.
Tue, who is Danish and a widow
er, was doing some work on the
home of Louis Tarkelsen, SO Jeffer-
son street, a two-story frame build
ing. The house is being painted and
repaired, and Tues task was to fix
the gutter at the edge of the roof.
His ladder was not quite long enough
to reach the top Of the house. To
overcome this difficulty he placed the
base of the ladder on a packing box,
contrary to the warning of his fell
low-workman.
His companion, much younger
man than Tue, walked off for a min
ute or two. Suddenly the people in
Jefferson street for a considerable
distance heard a terrific crash. Look
Tue crying in a pool of blood. He
had landed, with his left arm first, on
the third step Of the small porch,
breaking the step into splinters. A
large crowd gathered and the police
and DR.. Meinzer were notified. The
ambulance arrived simultaneously
with DR.. M. S. Meinzer, who put an
improvised splint on the arm and
then had Tue taken to the hospital.
A friend of Mr. Tue said that he
thought he lived at the Dana build
ing. He has four children The
Oldest is a married daughter, Mrs.
Hanson, whose husband is a car
penter She lives on Market street
and the three other Tue children live
with her. They are unmarried. Their
father is man of rather heavy
build.
At the hospital shortly after 2
o'clock it was stated that they did
not think that Tues injuries would
prove fatal.

STOCKHOLDERS ARE
IN HEARTY ACCORD
WITH DIRECT ORS

A special meeting of sixty-three
stockholders of the Citizens Electric
Light, Heat & Power Company was
held last night in Odd Fellows hall.
The meeting proved most satisfac-
tory In its purpose and every stock
holder who, prior to the session, had
disapproved of the action Of the
board Of directors In wanting to sell,
felt pleased with the outcome and
were loud in their praise of the di-
rectors, who had worked with might
and main to keep the concern on It's
feet.
It was discovered at the meeting
that the principal objectors consist
ed of three men who owned little or
no stock in the concern. They had
persuaded some Of the more promi-
nent stockholders to try and hinder
the work of the directors.
Two resolutions were unanimous
ly passed One, introduced by Leo
Schwartz, resolving that the action
of the board of directors be approved
and that the plant be sold to any in
dividual or corporation for not less
than $1.50 to each dollar invested,
the sale to be passed upon by the
Board of Aldermen, was passed.
The bill of sale will contain a
clause limiting the charge per kilo-
watt to seven and a half cents in
municipal buildings and ten cents to
the individual. It will also reduce
the charge on street arc lamps to
$86 year.
A second resolution was intro
duced by Albert Leon. 1t was to
the effect that certain reports, alleg-
ing that the affairs of the Citizens
company had been mismanaged or
