Americans and "Dagoes"

Some people call Italians and other foreigners in
country "Dagoes."
We do not believe that il is Christian or gentlemany
to call any human being by term of reproach.
The man, who comes from Italy any other part
of the old world, to America because he believes
America is better than his country That means, he
believes in America. Certainly ought to have some
kindly feeling towards who believes country!
II the average American is better than the average
foreigner is largely because the American has had
better chance So it is not thing boast about but to
be grateful for
The foreigners commit more crime on the average
than Americans but this is partly owing to the fact that
they strangers, unacquanted with laws and
cited by the great change from the old world to the
The great majority of foreigners become industrious and
law abiding citizens.
Many of the eastern make great efforts to give

that there will always be a number
