CITIZENSHIP

TORTY-N NINE men applied for citi-
II zenship before Judge James.
Il Twenty-four were admitted. The
tests for citizenship are more severe
than ever before. This is step IN
the right direction. Some men born
in other countries are Americans from
their youth up-like Jacob R1is ana
others whom we could name. They are
impressed by Americanism rather than
by the materialism of the United
States and seldom think of Washing
toms land and Lincoln's in terms OF
gold and silver.
When these men realize the dreams
of their youth and take advantage OF
the personal liberty called coming OF
age" to transfer themselves to the land
the THEORIES of which have had
their allegiance ever since they could
read and think. great and lasting is
their astonishment and bitter Is their
chagrin to find the average American
knows less than they about American
ism and that some Americans by birth
are as densely ignorant of their coun-
try's reason for separate and indepen-
dent existence, apart from the numer-
GUS other countries of the great Eng
lish speaking group as any Hottentot
or Zulu could be. Their view Of Amer
lea resembles Topsy's theory of her
origin. Says the famous little darky
of Uncle Toms Cabin" when asked
about her parentage: "Specs l
growed." Some Americans act as If
that was their theory of America. They
"spec it growed." We cannot Danish
such people from their native land.
They have a right to be here; but
their wrong thinking and their ignor-
ance of the first principles of Ameri-
canism are a constant menace to the
peace and prosperity of the nation.
Now it appears a large number of the
men examined in naturalization pro-
ceedings were not fit to be citizens of
this country. They were rejected. But
thev will remain in this country and
will enjoy equal rights with American
citizens. Indeed, they may take the
bread and butter out of the mouths of
American workingmen and their wives
and children, and if they underbid
American competitors in the labor
market their services will be preferred
by American capital. The men who do
not know anything about Americanism
and are not fit to be citizens will be
fed, perhaps; and perhaps Americans
by birth or by education or both will
be deprived of the opportunity of pro-
viding daily for their wives and fami-

lies. For that matter, we could give
instances right here in Los Angeles
where aliens, who do not care to be-
come American citizens, have been en-
ployed by Republicans while Americans
whose families are of revolutionary
descent were deprived of the opportu-
nifty of making even bread and but

and cast it to the dogs" said the out
spoken Master of Christianity. All
aliens who are untitled for citizenship
should be deported, or, better still,
they should be prevented from estab-
fishing a residence in the United States
unless the times are so prosperous that
there is no surplus or unemployed pop
ulation. 1t is not right that American
boys should have to give up part of
their education in order to go to work
so that they may not be starved to
death, while Republicans, who are for
ever crying peace, peace, when there
is no peace keep the doors wide open
and invite all the world and his wife
to dine off our children's victuals.

PADLOCKED LIPS

VIZ LILLIAN THE SILENT was a eel
w ebrated character in history
W But until recently no one
thought William Hearst resembled HIM
He was not suspected of being silent
on any subject. Nobody thought he
could remain silent and survive the
agony of the ordeal. But all of sud
den he became silent on a subject In
which Californians take keen inter-
est.
After posing as the peoples cham
pion against railroad and every other
kind of tyranny Mr.. Hearst suddenly
became silent about Hartman and all
his works. Then, at first cautiously
and afterward without reserve, he be-
gan to be the chief horn blower for
Hartman and his projects. But why
were Hearsts lips padlocked? Why did
he assume an antic silence which was
unnatural to him? Why did he sud
denly make up his mind that things
that might be said about Hartman
would better be left unsaid?
Who can explain the inconsistency
between the anti-Harriman Hearst of
yesterday and the pro-Harriman
Hearst Of today? What sealed the
mouth once so eloquent? What par
alyzed the pen once so busy? Who put
the paddock on Hearst's protesting
ups? Whisper it softly and tell it not
in Gath. 'Tis delicate question.

ASKS PERTINENT QUESTIONS
REGARDING PUBLIC MATTERS

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4-[Editor
Herald]: 1 cannot refrain from taking
up my pen as I read the editorial
page and Public Letter Box. am
thankful for a paper that gives the
people an opportunity to express their
views. What is the matter with the
lawmakers of this city that 1t takes all
this agitation to bring about even a
dog reform? Barrels of printers ink
have been used; the city hall has been
besieged with people, petitions and
protests, still nothing done. Members
of the council occupy their high seats
by the grace of the people and to do
the will Of the people, still the peoples
wishes are ignored. The dog catcher
is being paid for his crimes with the
taxpayers money. In the face of all
that has been said and done they have
the audacity to concoct a scheme to
retain him.
The dance halls are still running,
Notwithstanding their debaucheries
have been exposed. The houses of ill
repute boldly go on. The prosecutor
(all honor to Mr.. Woolwine) cannot en-
force what puny laws we do have.
viii some one tell what is blocking
the wheels of justice? Are we trying
to compete with the northern city in
corruption? If so, at the present pace
it is only a matter of time and we
will get there. / am not from Missouri,
but would like to be shown.

DEMOCRATIC UNION

I" HILE Judge Parker is preaching
w Democratic union in California
Governor Johnson is engaged in
similar work in Minnesota. United,
this is the year the Democracy will
win. In union there is strength. In
union there is force In union there is
conservation of energy. In union
there is the establishment of such
community of interest that Demo-
Gratis everywhere will work for success,
and Democrats everywhere will vote.
and since all the new Democrats win
vote, and all the ''old'' Democrats will
vote, and many former Republicans
who are Democrats will vote, the
Democratic party for the first time in
many years will poll complete, united
vote: and the last time the Democratic
party did that it won. 1t will win
again. 1t has the right candidates, and
the principles which appeal to men who
love the United States, and wish the
great republic to become greater than
ever, and to be a compelling MORAL
as we'll as a merely physical force
among the nations. This seems to be
hard for some citizens to comprehend.
We attribute 1t to the fact that Ameri-
canism is not taught properly in the
public schools. When the Democratic
partys returns to power 1t should and
will give attention to the education and
the training of the nation. Too many
boys and girls have left the public

cannot understand-they have not been
taught to think in way which would
make them understand-that the blind
beggar on the street may be a better
American than John D. Rockefeller or
Andrew Carnegie. Because he is blind
children think of him as an outcast, a
degraded and contemplate character.
This of course is directly opposed to the
teachings of original Christianity. But
what is the average little American
boy or girl ALLOWED to know about
original Christianity? The leaders of
Democracy have responsibility greater
than has been imposed on any human
beings since Lincoln's time. 1t is their
duty to emancipate the masses of the
American people, to rescue two million
child slaves from the factories and mills
and restore them to the public schools.
In view of the great task which it is
the duty of the Democratic party to
undertake disunion would not merely
be disloyal to the Democratic party. 1t
would be treason to Americanism.

PRIMARIES

1T IS of vital Importance that every
voter should do his duty at the
n primaries pext Tuesday and should
aid in the liberation of California from
rporation-controlled machine poll
ticians.
1t is absurd and outrageous that the
Southern Pacific railroad should be al
lowed to have an influential voice in
the conduct of public affairs in Cali
fornia, when there is a great and grow
ing population of more than ordinary
intelligence, we'll equipped for political
independence. If all voters will realize
their responsibilities they will take an
active interest in public affairs in Cali
fornia, even although in the eastern
states of which they were perhaps for
merly residents they have been in the
habit of sitting back and letting the
other fellow attend to politics. In this
state conditions are such that citizens
cannot afford to neglect any of the
duties of their citizenship. They
cannot afford to stay away from the
primaries, for just as surely as they stay
away the representatives of railroad In
terests will vote. We do not believe
any citizen has right to say: This
election, my party or the cause 1 favor
will get along without my vote"
In California especially he has not
that right Here there is an urgent
necessity for good citizenship, and for
an expression of active good citizen
ship, militant good citizenship, at the
polls.
We urge all voters who take a deep,
sincere, real interest in the welfare of
this state to assist in freeing it from
railroad rule and bossism by attending
the primaries and helping to vote down
the crafty corporation machine.
