De met IN the coming session Of con.
sress. 1t may be met in the national
OF 1916. and on this issue ev-
cry American voter has a right to
know how his neighbor stands.
The blame for the situation that con-
fronts the country does not rest alone
upon the hyphenated citizen. 1t must
be shared by men who knew better but
VINO capitalized the foreign vote for
sordid partisan advantage.
For a managing politicians Of
both parties have made a business of
manipulating this vote and have
helped thereby to maintain its soiidar-
lty. Every campaign has a it's APP
peal to the German vote. to the Irish
vote. to the Jewish vote. to the Italian
vote, to h Scandinavian vote, to the
Polish vote and to any other kin of
vote that desperate partisanship could
consolidate and reach. How could true
Americanism be expected to take root
IN a soil that American politicians de-
lioerately starved of its Americantsm?
In the easy, tolerant, humorous way
OF the American people, these appeals
to the racial consciousness of the for
eign voter ave been treated playfully
and jestingly, but the foreign voter has
not regarded them in that spirit. He
has taken them seriously, and he nat
urally came to believe that he was
important politically not because he
was an American citizen but because
he was German or Irish or Italian or
Polish or Scandinavian or Jew, until
we have at last reached a stage at
which a president of the United States
can be threatened, here and in Eu-
rope. with political determination for
daring to put The interests of the Unit
ed States o the interests of Euro
pean monarchies.
President Wilson is not alone in his
desire to a q lineup and let the
men who are thinking first Of other
countries stand on one side-bibltcally
1t should be the left-and all those who
are for America first. last and all the
time on the other side" We can not
have this lineup too soon and h re-
suit can not be allowed to remain in
doubt. Either. an overwhelming ma
jority Of American citizens, regard
less of their racial origin. are for

The details of government are less 4
mystery than they were. The pressure
from public opinion for economies, Of
course, grew as public opinion became adj
vised as to what economies were possible.
But I suppose the most enlightened
changes nave been made by Philade,-

tegration of the nation.
Mr.. Roosevelt did not overstate the
case when he said in his speech to the
knights of Columbus last night, echo
ing the sentiments that President Will
son had voiced the day before in
Washington:
For an American citizen to vote as
a German-American, an Irish-Ameri-
an or an English-American is to be a
traitor to American institutions; and
those hyphenated Americans who ter
rorize American politicians by threats
of the foreign vote are engaged In
treason to the American republic"
President Wilson could not we'll an
swer these threats, because they have
been made against him personally. but
MI. Roosevelt has answered them for
him. and the sentiment hat Mr.. Roose-
velt expressed in this quotation from
his speech must be the sentiment of
every American who is loyal to his
country. to his country's flag and to
his country's institutions.
The issue which President Wilson SO
felicitcnsly stated in the words Amer
lea First" can not be evaded. 1t must
