John JenswoId, Jr., Of Duluth was
introduced by N. N. Bergheim as
speaker of the day. The trend of his
address was that>the privilege of being
an American citizen is greater than
was the privilege of being Roman
citizen, which at that time was con-
sidered the height of honors. To
prove this, the speaker enumerated
some of the advantages the American
citizen has over what the Roman
citizen had, such as religious freedom,
political freedom, freedom in CONGRESS,
etc.
Mr.. Jenswold stated that some
people are alarmed over the large
amount of immigration to this country
from the many different foreign
IS, 600, 900 people coming to
this country during the past IS years,
ON the ground that it will prove of
injury to its citizenship. He claimed
that this mixturewould not act IN this
manner, but on the contrary would
rebound to the advantage of this
by developing a higher. class
of citizenship, advancing this nation
far ahead of any other.
The remarks created a good i'm
preston on the packed house which
