AMERICA FOR AMERICANS. = }
G. II. Weller.

A recent proclamation, by the
Governor of Iowa, fordids the
use Of any other language than
English in al public meetings
throughout that State. This or
der has come verysnddenly and
may be asking too much from
people who have been born and
bred in a foreign tongue and
who, up until now, had been en-
couraged to continue the same
However this definite action may
only prove another agency that
will help to stimulate Ameri-
cans 60 think more soberly and
to formulate a safer future po-
LEY for America.
1t IS only natural for ppeople
who come to America from an
other country and who will con-
tinue to read and think in their
native tongue the thought and
sentiment Of their native country,
to also lean towards that coun-
try in their sympathies at all
times and more especially SO in
the event of war;, and now that
we have this fact brought home
to us so foreefully through the
events of the present war, it
should both inspire and direct
us in promoting laws that will
serve to correct this error by
some process that will instill
american thought and sentiment
into the heart and mind of all
who come to this country to
make it their place of residence.
Nor should this apply to any
one language alone, but to every
language and every one alike
who comes here to make this
their place of residence. Why
should we encourage or even per-
NIT a little Chinatown here or
a little Italy, or Germany or
Sweden, ETC., in some other place
and each one seeking to propa-
gate their peculiar thought and
customs through newspaper and
literature in their native tongue
and thus keep alive forces which
can serve only to separate our

population in thought and sen
timent into 50 many groups, each
one more or less antagonistic to
every other and serving to breed
discord and mischief.
If It is within bounds Of Ameri-
can principles to require certain
property value from the foreigner
who seeks to make this his home,
is ut any less American to re-
quire from the same at the time
of his entrance regardless Of
country, language or creed, that
he himself must seek, as much
as possible, TO learn the authoriz-
ed American language and that
all his children shall be educated
and trained in American institn-
tions in the American language
first and thus qualify them to
read American thought and sen
timent to make them intelligent
American citizens.
IF we have learned any one
thing so far during this war, it
is the fact that We should make
Americans Of all those who come
here to live and share our rights
and SO make America safe for
Americans and for American
principles.
In two things we Americans
have been too indulgent. We vel
come every stranger to our
shores regardless of language,
custom or creed and without
asking them to surrender any
thing that may be contrary to
our established customs. This ap-
plies equally to his un-Ameri-
can language and his open place
of business ON the Lords Day.
If we in America have any fun
damentally American customs
which we cherish because they
have been sacred through blood
and the sacrifice of our fore
fathers, then we have the first
right to say what shall be the
standard to which every one,
who dwells in America, shall sub
scribe by their surrender, when
they come here. Of every custom
that may be contrary TO it. By
50 doing we make America, in
deed, a great melting pot and
refusing to do 50, we will find
ourselves to gradually yield our
own fixed customs to those of
others and thus repudiate the
Judgment of our forefathers and
the ordinances Of our God.
If any man coming to these
shores to make America his home,
loves his native language or his
customs of Sunday opening more.
than he does our customs, let
him go back to that country
where those customs prevail, but
let US make America safe for
Americans and American prin-
ciples cut Of respect for those
through whose sacrifices we
possess them and the sake Of
those who shall come after US.

day. And some day - God
grant til our prayer is that
we may welcome him and "his
boys home again. But a tri-
butte to the living to my mind
is much more acceptable than
eulogies over the dead, hence
this brief appreciation.
Things move fast when a
regiment gets marching or
ders. There are a few days of
hurried packing. The whole
camp is astir day and night.
Every article to be taken a
broad is exactly stipulated.
Nothing else permitted. Chap
lain Keeyer had just finished
driving the last nail into his
overseas boxes He had just
two hours in which to rush to
Spartanburg to have lunch
with myself and wife, then we
rushed back to camp. As we
drove up re found the regi-
ment already on the move.
Sharp orders filled the air.
The .men were marching.
quickly We transferred to the
chaplain's mail ear, and in a
few moments were following
the cloud of dust raised by the
column ahead.
1t was about a mile to the
point where the men were
loaded. And there is no time
wasted for formalities when
that point is reached. In fiji
teen or twenty minutes 800
men are loaded, the signal is
given, and the long string of
cars move off. | knew, there
fore, that there was not mucl
time to waste.
Chaplain" said /, "have-
mt you got a message you
would like to have me give
to our Lutheran Church and
to our Lutheran people7"
We were standing in the
vestibule Of a miserable day
coach. Officers as we'll as
men are compelled to fore
go all comforts and conyen-
fences in these stirring days.
Why should not all citizens be
willing to make. sacrifices2
The grizzled old chaplain
stood thinking for a moment.
Eyes" he said, u have a
message for our Lutheran
Church. Tell/our people above
all to uphold the work Of the
camp pastor. He is the only
real representative our
Church has in the army camp.
Tell them also to back up
our boys who have gone to
France, and TO give them
every encouragement.
"Ten the mothers especial
ly not TO discourage the men
by pessimistic letters.
"Urge every American to
get into this fight with heart
and soul, for only thus will
we be able to win and have
this thing over with quickly"
The train began to move,
| swung off, grasping his
hand, and then standing by
the side of the track, [ waved
my hat andcheered as long
as the train was in sight. "a
good old scout" the men and
officers of his regiment call
ed him, and every memory of
three months association in
camp bears out the tribute.

The body of Richard w. Hoy, so
well and lovingly known to Bookings
people for years past as Dick Hoy.
was brought from Watertown last Fri
from the Lutheran church on Satur-
day afternoon with the interment in
Greenwood cemetery. A large number
of his personal friends and the friends
of the family attended TO show their
respect for the deceased and the floral
offerings were numerous and beauti-
full. The funeral sermon was preach
ed by the Rev. B. A. Benson, pastor
of the church. The Register joins
with his many friends in extending
to the bereaved family their sincere
sympathy. Taken in the flower of his
manhood, when his mind and body
were both at their best, his passing
seems one of the mysteries that are
past finding out.
Richard Watson Hoy was born in
Henry county, Ohio, Dec. S, 1881. He
moved with his parents to Sphinx coun.
ty, S. D., in 1883. where he grew to
manhood. He received his education
in the country schools, S. d. State
College and McAllister College, in Min
nesota. He later prepared himself to
be a railway mail clerk and for the
past seven years was so employed. He
was married to Minnie BOhlke OF
Bookings in July, 1913. They made
their home in Watertown, S. d. A
baby girl, Arlene Virginia, was born
to them Feb. 3, 1915, living but one
week. He left a widowed mother, Mrs.
Joseph Hoy, of Bookings, and five
brothers and three sisters. His faith.
er and one sister passed to the Be-
yond five years ago, making the first
break in the family circle. He died
at the Luther Hospital in Watertown.

a letter written by Mrs. Borst to a
friend in Brookings would indicate:
"Well, l never expected to have such
a good time and the weather has been
simply perfect and every day just the
same, and not a hot day so far. We
have had a little fire night and morn
ing so far every where we have been,
and l have worn a coat when w have
gone any place. They say it has been
unusually cold, but ! like it and have
not been sick a day since | left home.
The fog rises every forenoon about
nine or ten, and floats around until
about noon, then the sun is hot, then
the cool ocean breeze comes in about
four. Nearly every place We have
been they have had a machine, SO we
have seen a lot. | must have seen

saw Ivan Coble at the aviation camp

he is well, though | guess they work
them pretty hard. We also saw VIII

tainly has a fine wife. Also ran
across an old schoolmate of mine who
drove us over the Berkeley hills. It
is wonderful how they build on these
