for the unpatriotic acts and tendencies

last night by United States Senator
James Hamilton Lewis, the guest of
honor at the thirty-ffth annual festival
of the New England Society of Penn

at is appropriate" said Senator
Lewis in his speech. ito call attention
10 the truth that the native-born
American citizen has been the educa-
tor for the foreign-born adopted Amer
lean citizen. For the last ten years
there has been nothing in America
which the native-born American could
find TO praise. This order of universal
condemnation has been divided into
two classes:
First. the powerful. holding their
mower from wealth or the accident OF
position, could see nothing in the de-
mand of the masses for justice except
the cry of anarchy. They ever con-
demned the effort to equaize the privi-
leges and opportunities of men as the
protest Of socialism.
Here began the first damnation by
one set of Americans of the other class,
in order to avoid listening 10 their COM
plants or respecting their grievances.
Then followed the natural revenge.
The under classes cried out their con-
demnaton against everything that was
property or prosperous. This retala-
ton took the form of accusation
against all law-breakers as crooks, the
impeachment of officials as cmbezzlers.
and judgment and execution against all
authority, political or religious, or pos
sessions, earned or inherited.
"Then there arose in the community
self-selected leaders, who, to advance
their ambitions for Office or noisy rec
ignition. capitalized these roarings Of
discomfort under the hue and cry Of
Down with society! Death TO the
courtsl Contempt for the law!" a
scoff at religion and a defiance of God.
"The result was that in the last TWEEN
~ years the newborn American and
the imported American has known
nothing Of America except that it was
a place where all other Americans GER
tilted there were no men of honor, no
things of decency. no institution in
which any man could have a purpose,
except to overthrow as being unworthy.
AS a remedy we should promptly
establish b. law that the right of a
citizen to participate in elections is a
duty; that the failure of the citizen 70
perform his duty at the ballot box con-
secutiyely for a certain length Of time
should be punished by having the right
of suffrage withdrawn from him.

official circles here that the British gov

the principle that parcel post matter
