MERGE RACES, HIS PLEA.

An Americanization that will result

social and political, of all of them

America only receives their unquali-

urged by Associate Justice of the
District Supreme Court Frederick l..
Siddons, the principal speaker at the
closing session of the citizenship
convention held recently in Washing
ton, D. G.
Justice Siddons said that the ma.
tives of the United States, as well as
those coming from foreign lands,
should be instructed in American
citizenship if the motives and ideals
OF our government were to be looked
up to and respected by aliens.
Justice Siddons said that it was
largely this country's fault that
America has so-called "hyphenates.
The justice concluded by exhorting
everyone present to do all in his or
her power to perform "the great and
noble task of developing the ideal

It was in 1888, on July 18th, that
William Lloyd Garrison, speaking at
Exeter Hall, London, England, uttered
the momentous words: my country. is

Garrison's words are the ones which
will be treasured by the ages. They
are sparks from the fire within him.
They illuminate his breadth of mind,
his Catholic spirit and his indomitable
courage. In the summer of 1888, ever
