"PUsE AMERICAN PRINcIPLEs.r

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: In connection with the letter or
Louis A. Rappaport in a recent issue OF
The Tribune permit me to ask why 1T is
that the persons who write letters, IN
which pure American principles" are de-
fined and announced, are generally for
eigners? Why is it that these foreigners
are always SO ready to declare that there
are no real Americans at all? There is
something savoring Of impudence and high
handAdness IN the remarks of these per
sons. Did Mr.. Rappaport, or his ancestors,
help to build this Republic? II not by what
right does he presume to tell us what
''pure American principles" are?
There are thousands and millions of
American citizens who were born under
the Stars and Stripes. and whose grand
fathers were born here also. BY what
strange process of reasoning Is the theory
evolved by which the foreigner is entitled
to more free speech than the native born !?
Why is it ''intolerant'' for an American.
who cannot legally claim to be anything
but an American to wish to restrict inlmi-
grafton?
These foreigners, whom We are to toll
crate and help. gather in groups and. in
stead OF adapting themselves to our Amer
ican standards, ;hey attempt TO force their
ideas and institutions upon cur unwilling
population. They have introduced Glasses
or castles, socialism, anarchy, the Cont
mental Sunday and a host Of Un-Ameri-
can ideas, which they label American
principles"
There are thousands OF votes which will
be cast for any Congressman who will
fight for the restriction of immigration.
Nothing would be of more benefit TO our
country than an absolute stoppage OF all
immigration for a period of ten years.
Give us time TO digest this mass of hu-

THE VETERANS AND PENSIONS

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The veterans of the Grand Army Of
the Republic gathered at Atlantic City are
raising the cry for a dollar day IN pen
sions for life.
When Uncle Sam has shown an unparal-
leled generosity to the veterans Of the
Civil war and the annual appropriation for
pensions is now s155, 600 600, forty-five years
after the close of that conflict, and the
dminution of this great sum, naturally ex-
pected as the years go by. Is so slow to
show itself, can the old soldiers insist with
good grace that the present appropriation
be greatly increased? So many old soldiers
have passed away that steadily diminish

ADVICE FOR THE LEGISLATURE

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: I would like to advise a postpone
ment OF the direct nominations measure
which you say the Legislature has al
ready shelved-until after that Legislature
has passed upon the suffrage issue, the
reason being that direct nominations would
be very expensive, as would also equal
suffrage, and 1t seems inadvisable TO have
both drains on the exchequeT when one
might suffice. That one is equal suffrage.
for it would overcome the apathy that is
the bane of our politics to-day and es-
tablish American principles at the same
time. II. S. H

CERTAINLY LOOKS THAT WAY.

From The PhiIadeIphIa Press.
Chicago is a great city. with a country
of exceeding fecundity and wealth on all
sides of her. She will always be one OF
Americas greatest cities, but New York's
primacy as the dominant American me-
tropolIS for all time seems as secure as
anything of human creation can be. New
York is so far ahead of all possible com
petitors that the only question which her
growth still leaves debatable is at which
period will she secure the rank of the iarg-
est city in the world.

The capture by the ProgTessiVes OF

only portion OF the city in which reac-

New-York tribune., 1910-09-22

''The World tries to impeach our
statement that the Congressional appor-
tionments In most Republican states are
exceptionally generous to the minority
by pointing to the fact that only ten
Democratic Representatives out of
total of seventeen were elected from this
city in 1908. Mr.. Taft carried the city IN
1908, yet the Republicans got only seven
seventeenths of the representation in
the lower branch of Congress. No Dem

How to Care for Ducks.

Ducks are easily raised, and cost
but little more than chickens. They
grow surprisingly fast. and apparently
are not affected by neglect, requiring
only a reasonable amount of care
with plenty Of good substantial food
and water.
When the ducllings pip the shell
they do not emerge at once. as do
chicks. but remain quiet for possibly
"a hours. They then. burst the shell,
but must be left quietly alone, as
they are very delicate for the first
few days.
After "a hours remove the hen and
ducklings to warm coop and care for
them as you would for chicks.
The best food is one part OF corn

FEEDING Small Chickens.

Chickens do not require food for the
first twelve to thirty-six hours after
Matching. One Of the best foods that
can be fed for the first few days Is
stale bread soaked in milk. This
should be crumbled fine and placed
where the chickens have free access
to it, and where they can not step
on it.
Granulated oats, with the bulls re-
moved) make an excellent food for
young chickens. There is, perhaps,
no better grain food for young chicA
ems than oats prepared in this man
ner. It may be fed to good advantage
after the second or third day in con
nection with the bread sopped in milk
A good practice is to keep 1t before
them all the time.
