SHALL WE BE MAN HUNTERS FOR KINGS?

Editor The Post: If the Root
amendment to the Dillingham; Imi-
grafton Bill becomes law the right
to an asylum in this country will
be denied to the oppressed Of other
lands. The amendment, which Sen
ator Root, in the interests of for
eign aristocracies, slipped into the
bill and got passed through the
Senate, provides that any foreign
born persons who ''conspire"
against any government recognized
by the United States shall be de-
ported. This country is already
filled with Russian and other spies
and to make the safety of patriots
who have fed from Russia, Spain
or other countries having oppress-
i've governments, depend upon their
not having spoken or given money
for freedom in their native lands,
is to destroy that safety. If the
amendment becomes law no foreign
patriot will be safe, for to make
what is said in private talk basis
fordeportation isto not only destroy
freedom Of speech, but is to put
into the hands Of the spies. who will
readily purjure themselves, the
power to have any foreign-born
resident seized by our government
and delivered over to czar or
king; men, women, youths, girls, to
be imprisoned, tortured, executed
or worn into mere shreds Of human,
ity in Siberian mines. To make
the United States, with all it's
boasted free institutions, a man,
catcher for tyrants, is Infamous,
turning away from our traditional
opposition to tyrants, a debasement
of free people such as no one but
an intellectual slave Of the million.
aire class, like Root, would be
guilty of knowingly supporting.
Our country was founded and
maintained by refugees. 1t was
Catholic refugees who founded Bal
timore and Quaker refugees who
founded Philadelphia, German ref

and fugitives who helped establish
Delaware. The Huguenots, the Nor
avians, and Cromwell's men built
up the civilization Of the Carolinas.
and of the Virginia and MARYLAND

The continual coming of the Irish
to our land has been because the
Irish conspired. and would the more

who financed the American Revolu-
tion. were working against the gov
ernments that drove them across
the seas. The great masses OF for
eign peoples who come here TODAY
come because of evil conditions of
government in lands as rich as fer

the age-long hope to those we ad-
nit Shall we encourage foreign
kings to SET spies beneath the win

extreme. The electrical effects are

pical Irish wit supply the comedy.

full prima donna will be remembered
for her clever work in previous
shows. Miss Hilda Burton the charm
ing little soubrette who has been with
"The Winning Widow before will lie
remembered for her artistic singing
and dancing. Others of note III the

ability and the pos3essor of beauti-
full contralto voice; Leona Thompson

Linemen and Conductors in Series OF
Cross Fires and Flank Move

What was given up as dull night
was turned into one Of adventure
and sensations last evening when two
distinct bands of Christmas joyseek-
ers engaged in a Roman candle battle
on the downtown streets and Tor
hours the conflict ragged fiercely, es-
pecially on Main street, i'll that dis
trict lying between Barraque street
and Second avenue. The war man
of the Graphic staff witnessed the
hattle from start to finish.
While a band of Indians headed by
some we'll known linemen were tax
ing refreshments in a downtown sa-
loon, a troop Of street car conductors
and others came up from the rear
and began cross fire into the flanks
of the linemen.
The linemen were quickly organ
lied a quantity of ammunition secur-
ed and the forces made sally from
their stronghold. The besiegers
who were strongly posted in the en-
trance to the linemens tort manfully
resisted, but were finally forced to
fall back to the Merchants & Planters
Bank corner where they made stand
and checked the onslaught of the
linemen
Time and again the linemen hurled
balls from twentyshot Roman can
dies into the ranks of the insurgents
who held firm and returned the fire
with deadly effect. Coats were spot
ted where the fiery balls struck and
the battlers were forced to duck and
dodge to prevent facial disfiguratlon
