I'm NBLEHEE ROlfCIIM ANQhMc
I

Out of the melting pot of nations
has come some of Our best citizens.
To be foreigner is not crime
even if you came originally from a
country now at war with this
nation. Naturally there are some
living among us who neither re-
spect America or its laws. There
are also many living here who are
not citizens but who obey the laws
and give proper respect to our
government. For some reason
they have never become citizens
and it i'll behooves people with
records that cannot bear light to be
forever referring to these as the
damned foreigner" Take this
city for instance. Many of the
principal men of Our town were
originally foreigners or descendant
from foreigners. The same is true
of every town. 1t is unnecessary
to damn fellow man simply be-
cause he was foreigner. This is
not good citizenship.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1917-05-04

For the benefit of the SYM
pathisers of foreign nations we
call attention to the oath taken at
the time they were made citizens
of this country. Many forget this
in their pro-this and pro-that argu-
ment. Here is what you sub
scribed to:
L hereby declare, on oath, that
I absolutely and entirely renounce
and abjure all allegiance and fdel-
ity to any foreign prince, potentate
or sovereignty, and particularly to
(name of ruler of foreign country
from which applicant comes) of
whom I heretofore have been SUBJ
ject, that will support and defend
the constitution and laws of the
United States of America against
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1917-05-04
all enemies, foreign. and domestic;
and that I will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same"

The Ely Council of Defence after
becoming fully organized can begin
serving worthy cause by eliminat-
ing the storing of supplies practic-
ed by some of our people and thus
cut down the cost of existence to
those whose patriotism prevented
them from stocking up. Merchants
inform us that -four, sugar and
canned goods are being purchased,
where possible, in wholesale GUAM
titles by families not needing such
quantities. 1t is foregone fact
that should food supplies get low
in Ely as we'll as other towns, the
surplus stocks will be conhscated.
It is proven that the storing OF
certain food supplies has raised the
price out of all proportions.
