it depends in the case of every one of
us, be he foreign-born or native, upon
our press, that of keeping the
mind of every citizen of this country
unalterably fixed upon those funda-
mental principles of government laid
down by our immortal forefathers."
The Public Is Sovereign.
In conclusion Mr.. Andreae said:
at is fit and proper that the press
should bowto the public, because the
public is sovereign. But, when we so
bow, let us first be sure that it is the
sovereign public we are bowling to-,
and not a mere bogy, ingeniously
dressed up to resemble it. And,
above all, even in bowing, let us re-
member that though, right or wrong,
the public ever remains the supreme
sovereign, the press, too can never
divest itself of its own supreme
responsibility towards that sovereign,
upon the faithful fulfillment of which
he relies, and for the neglect of which
he is ever ready to exact a stern ac-
counting: its responsibility as the
Keeper of the Public Conscience"

r"It is not a pleasant task to sim
gle out public officials and diserei-
It them in the public mind; but wher
men called to high positions of hon
or and trust, as Mr.. Mann and Mr.
Underwood have been called by the
people, step down from their lofty
positions to become the specific
guardians and protectors of the liq-
uor interests against the people, they
forfeit all right to the favorable con
sideration of a decent, self-respect-
ing, home loving public. Mr.. Mann
the alleged author of the law against
the white slave traffic and Mr.. Mann
the sponsor of the liquor traffic
become the Doctor Jekyll and Mr..
Hyde of the United States congress
There was great fitness in the
theme used by Doctor Boynton, wno
lives in Mr.. Mann's district, when he
presched on the following Sunday
night upon The Fall of Mann and
uttered that keen sentence that ought
to live, that no presidential bee can
live in alcohol. The liquor interests
are already trying to reimburse Mr.
Mann for his activity in their be-
half by backing his candidacy for
the presidency"
In speaking, of the general situa
ton, DR. Baker said;
The past eighteen months has
broken the record for prohibition
progress, not only in the United
States but throughout the world. ;.
If Russia can abolish five hun
dred million dollars per annum in
revenue from drink while engaged "a
the most expensive war in history
and yet declare the surprising pros
perity of her people, it would seem
that the United States, which claims
to be civilized and Christian, could
safely abolish less than half that
amount in time of peace"

searching it to its uttermost depths,
aud giving it new and lasting
shape?"
The distinction between the foreign
language press in America and the
American press, Mr.. Andreae thought
lay in the efforts of the former to
make a good American of the immi-
grant and the duty of the latter to
keep him a good American. In this
connection he said:
Foreigners View of Liberty.
81 am not at all sure which of the
two tasks is the more difficult. The
foreigner when he reaches these
shores comes in many cases with that
one-sided conception of American lib
erty which renders him blind to the
fact that the exercise of his liberty is
conditioned upon his due regard for
the liberty of others. In his first
exaltation upon being delivered from
the shackles of his old life he is apt
to suppose that, since the order of
things he has left behind him meant
the denial of individual freedom,
therefore the state of freedom into
which he enters here implies CORE
spondingly an absence of all necessity
to submit to the exigencies of social
order He has to learn, in other words,
that, while order may exist without
liberty, there is no liberty conceivable
without order. 1t is the task of the
foreign4anguage newspaper to bring
this fact forcibly home to him. and 1
am making no idle boast when sly
that it has succeeded in accomplishing
this self-imposed task in a remarkable
degree.
81 have characterized that task as
one of making a true American of the
foreign-born immigrant. Whether,
after becoming merged in the general
citizenship of the country. he remains
a true American or not, depends, as
