The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-10-07


 race is 9 frugal one and will eventu-
 ally become a benefit to this country through that trait. We must not for get the class of work they perform, which no other nationality will so will fngly or readily do Their work is such as to bring more actual good to this country than even that of the manufacturer, the importer or the gen.
 erai business man. They are fearless Of danger and perform hazardous work of blasting, tunnelling and general
 construction. The subways, railroads
 and tunnels are evidence of what has
 been done by their hands and should
 stand a5 monuments to their industry
 and labor If in their infancy here the American people would treat them
 as the baby race and try to con
 cf11ate them rather than antagontze,
 they would no doubt on their part make double efforts to become better
 citizens and such a people as this country would ultimately feel proud to own
 .tOn the other hand, realizing the deficiencies of the Italian people and their prejudices, I would suggest to my people that in order to enter bet ter social, civil and commercial rela- tions with the people of the land Of
 which they must ultimately become a par, they now obey the law implicit ly, even though they feel that injus- tice is at times meted out to them. I i'm lD3Cre them to keep cool heads, and when ir difficulties explain their cases to persons whom they can trust and who can sanely advise them. Let them avoid the use of all weapons, for which in this country there is no use today. As none has necessity for the use of weapons they must be abolished. There must be less sectional feeling between the Italians and they must froVn up on the 1awless element and stamp it from their own ranks They must ever uphold the laws of the country in which they elect to live.
 gro the American people I would warn them against the man of any naticnality who disowns his own couzn- try. He is an unworthy citizen and usually an anarchist at heart. I can only Hken him to the man who after marriage loses his flial love. Such a feeling is unnatural and in the words of exGovernor Edward Stuart of Pennsylvania, The man who does not always love the country of his birth cannot make a good citizen any where
 1T believe the adopted citizen, who being born in one country espouses the cause of another is always to be considered more loyal than the native born. It is easy to be a citizen of the land in which one is born and has always lived, but to become a citizen Of a, foreign country predtcates that the individual has. seen much that is superior to his own. Therefore the Italian who naturalizes himself these shores is worthy of respect and aid in becoming a good member of the community.
 while [ always have the ideals of my country at heart wish to see those who make this country their home become able, Iaw-a'biding people respected by the community in which they live, and trust that the readers of the Farmer will fully appreciate the import of my remarks from their un prej judiced source. The Americans today have attained such superiority that they can afford to cater to q small minority to the end that they may become a larger factor eventual ly in the great scheme of American 
 Cavalier Ba1di is honored not only by his own government but is one of 8 large family of merchants, lawyers and newspaper men in Philadelphia highly honored by the judiciary Of Pennsylvania. He has been appoint ed one of the trustees of the famous Glenn Mills reformatory schools, which are considered the model juvenile i'm stttut1ons of America where none are kept indoors in shops, but are taught and open air pursuits
