was moved TO intense enthusiasm Dy the
address.
Not Afraid of Immigrant.
"T have no fear of the bugbear of
foreign immigration, said Mr.. More
house. Especially do welcome those
peoples who come to US from southern
Europe Although those races have
suffered retrogression in the past few
generations, due to temporal causes,
they have back of them the splendid
ideals of great and glorious past and
given the nurture which intellectual
freedom and fair living conditions of
fer, will re-assert themselves and aid in
the development of a splendid racial
strain.
Voting But One Expression of Citizen
ship.
When touching upon the question of
the vote, Mr.. Morehouse urged that
voting is by no means the only way of
expressing good citizenship. The newly
come foreigner without his enfranchise-
ment may begin Immediately the ex-
preston of his good citizenship, just as
may unenfranchised womanhood, by up
holding the best ideals of Americanism
and helping them to become perma-
nently part of the every day life Of
our land.
And He Spake In Parable.
"All the people of the world are
divided into three classes,'' he said.
"The first class is represented by the
boy who tramps happily and carelessly
down the street peeling and eating q
banana. He losses the peel to the side
walk and thinks no more of it. He has
no malicious intention of causing any
one to slip and fall. He is so selfishly
absorbed in his eating and himself that
he merely has no room for the consider
alton of the rights Of others.
"The second class is represented by
the man who comes next along the walk
and seeing the peel, carefully protects
himself from injury by stepping over it,
but has no thought for the safety of
those who come after.
"The third class is represented by
him who coming, sees the peel and
stoops to pick it up and throw it from
the walk to place where it can en-
danger no one else. He not only con-
serves his own safety but he takes
thought for the safety of his fellowmen.
1t is to the third class that the good
citizen belongs.
Right Kind of Men.
"It is to the man of this third class
that is entrusted the future of the ideals
of the American flag
Mr.. Morehouse promptly disposed of
the idea that the American home is a
thing of the past, as poppycock, an
article which he read proclaiming that
it was, to the contrary notwihtsta1d-
ing. He said the newspapers have
been filling space by printing pessimistic
announcements that homes have shriv-
eled away leaving only dove cote
squares In apartment buildings in their
place, where 40 ideals of home could
find shelter.
Home Still Exists.
ut is arrant nonsense said the
speaker. "Of course the American
home still exists, and more are being
| established daily. A home may be main
tanned in an apartment as we'll as in a
palace. Home is a place where there
are a community of interests and perfect
accord between husband and wife, par
ent and child, and spirit OF helpful
ness and wholesomeness to be carried
forth from the home by each one who
goes out of it. The same principles
maintain IN the establishment of an
ideal government as in the establish
ment of the ideal home. We must build
| our nation s government on an existant
love and sympathy between all classes
and groups which go into the eonstitu-
ency of that government
Let No Hate Survive.
Mr.. Morehouse made a strikingly i'm
pressive appeal to the sons and daugh-
tiers of the warning nations of Europe
to hold no thought of enEnity in this
land toward the children of the men
against whom their fathers were fight
ing. He asked that the Austrian or
