THE HYPHEN IN POLITICS
Chicago Tribune)

Before the United States can be
completely nationalized it must get
rid of alien nationalism. To some ex-
tent the cure will be found in time. A
new nation being formed of many
nationalities cannot look for a mir
acle. 1t cannot completely and in
stantly destroy motherland traditions
in the affections of its naturalized
citizens.
A stock which could have such ira
ditions destroyed in such fashion
would be stock incapable of national
perceptions and emotions. It would
be incapable of giving loyalty to a
new nation. A nation made of such
peoples would be only geographical.
What nation in formation hopes to
do is to command instant loyalty and
gradually eradicate every particle of
alienism, even the Harmless forms of
it. When American nationalism is
fully developed there will be no such
things as German clubs, Swedish
clubs, Polish societies, Bohemian So
cieties, etc., nor even for the purposes
of athletics, music or any form of So
liability, or for any sort of enter
prise. The existence of such societies
indicates the incomplete fusing of
elements to citizenship.
In a completely nationalized Amer
lea the distinguishing labels of alien
ism will disappear, and until they do
disappear America will not be COM
pletely nationalized. In the meantime
we have them, and time alone will ac-
count for them. In time citizens will
not form choruses as German Choir
uses, and shooting clubs as German
shooting clubs, and citizens will not
go to Sunday concerts as Swedes be-
cause the concerts are Swedish, or as
Poles because the concerts are Polish.
These organizations are harmless,
but they will and must disappear
when complete American nationalist
ton has been achieved. Two forces
can keep them in existence longer
than they would remain naturally.
One is the desire of the various ma
tionals to preserve something indie
ative of their descent, just as various
American societies endeavor to link
themselves to periods and achieve
ments of colonial history. The other
force may be one directed against the
organizations by people who object to
I them.
Any nationality in the United States
will stiffen under attack. Under at
tack its organization will gain cohe-
sion and solidity. If the hyphen is to
be political issue, and if common
sense and good judgment are not
used, the ostensible purpose of the
Americanizing propaganda will be de-
lfeated by the methods used to fur
Their it.
i If the Poles, Bohemians or Swedes
were subjected to violent criticism
4 they would become more consciously
and stubbornly Poles, Bohemians, or
Swedes. If the Germans are to be
damned all over the country as trail
tors unworthy of franchise, they will
be more consciously and stubbornly
/ Germans.

The following from the Montgom-
cry Times is specimen of the opin-
ion of Cats in his home state: "Syd-
ney j. Cats, formerly of Lowndes
county, has been nominated by the
democracy for governor of the great
state of Florida He removed from
Lowndes to the state of Florida less
than four years ago. He started a
crusade against Catholicism and has
won out for the office hetsought on an
issue of that sort. The editor of the
Times has known Mr.. Cats for a long
time and he is not the kind of man we
would have voted for to be elected to
any Office, much less that of governor
of a great and growing state. He
could not have been sent to the legis-
lature from the rock-ribbed democrat
ic county of Lowndes."

1t will interest the friends of the
Ccala Rifles to know that Mrs. Ed
ward Drake, wife of the present COM
mander of the company, is cousin OF
Mrs. Davidson, wife of Captain En-
NETT Davidson, who was in command
of the Rifles when they volunteered
for the Spanish-American war. Cap
tain Davidson made most efficient
commander and was promoted to a
majority. Captain brakes friends
expect him to do as well or better.
The Ocala Rifles, thru no fault of
their own, were not sent to the front
in the war of eighteen years ago, but
they are not likely to have such a
bloodless record this time.

If Mr.. Knott had majority and
Mr.. Cats instituted a contest, cont
you imagine the very virtuous indig-
nation that would be expressed by the
very men who are now advising Mr..
Knott Tampa Tribune.
So far as the Star sees, the Tribune
is more afflicted with virtuous indig-
nation than anybody else. Cats
hasn't majority by some thirteen or
fourteen thousand votes, and it isn't
certain that he has plurality. We
can't see why anybody is aggrieved
by Mr.. Knots contest as long as Mr..
Knott pays for it. If Cats has a
plurality the courts will make his hav-
ing it a certainty. He isn't being
kept out of office by the contest.

In the war with Mexico, the United
States has a long, hard struggle be-
fore it. Mexico is weak compared
with the United States, but this
country has with a fatuous disre-
gard for its own honor and safety
stubbornly refused to prepare for
war. The Mexican border from the
Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific ocean
is 1900 miles in length. The entire
force of our state troops is not
enough to adequately guard it. At
present it is not possible to muster
more than hundred thousand reg
ulars, which force is not enough to
invade such vast country as Mexico.
The government will probably block
ade the Mexican coast, guard the
border and strike at the most vulner-
able points along it, and meantime
try to raise an army. 1t is not like
ly that a serious invasion of the
country can be undertaken until next
spring.

When one contrasts the alacrity
with which the law moves in trivial
cases and how slowly in really serious
offenses one is inclined to think there
must be something wrong. One sees
a woman arrested for throwing a
painful of dish water in her yard and
no arrest made where a man en-
beetles money, gives a forged check
or shoots another, and one feels that
the law is not playing fairly; that it
has cats eyes, able to see only mice
and roaches.-St. Petersburg indie

Discussing the results of the recent

periences? How was the state made

Mark this prediction: IF there is
any boiling or independent running

the adherents of Mr.. Knott, but by his
opposition. The whole tenor of the

throughout indicates this, and the at

state is little short of anarchistic and
rlot-inciting. Mr.. Knott's character

for us to observe it's such as pre-

of a seeker of fairness and justice,
and if it is shown that he is fairly

cannot expect more; his friends would

THE NURSING BABY.

The best way to ascertain whether
the baby is having enough food or
not is to weigh it Immediately before
and after nursing. The difference in
weight represents the amount of nour-
ishment the child has obtained. Dur
ing the first month the gain after
nursing should be from two to four
ounces-the second and third month
from three to five ounces. After the
third month, from four to seven
ounces, according to age.
If the baby nurses ravenously for
a few moments, then stops and cries.

for an hour or more, and then cries

Janco, just remembering what his
father had told him to say. And this
scared the trusty messengers more
than ever, so they hurried to tell the
king. The king was shaving at the
time, and when he heard this he
jumped so quickly in his fear that he
cut off large piece of his ear. In
deed, it was enough to brighten him,
for he knew that 10000 men, with
long, sharp knives, would not fool
away their time with killing ordinary
people, but would go hunting for
kings. So the king called his trusty
generals and told them to go to Janco
and tell him to go away and take his
giant and 10000 men with long, sharp
knives with him; for it wasn't safe
for king to have this many long
knived persons and sixty-foot giant
around close to his royal person.
