tXVIHAT shall be done with the
w alien enemies at the close of
the war who may be found still
with our borders ? The answer to
this question depends wholly upon
the conduct of such aliens during
the period of hostilities and their at
titude toward this country of their
adoption. Those who have depOrted
themselves as becoming honorable
men and loyal citizens whether eX-
pressed intentions or merely sug-
gestive possibility, there will be as it
, should continued welcome to them
and full and free share in all the
benefits accruing from such resi-
dence among us, for by their peace
fuI demeanor, their proven loyalty
and good will, they have naturally
made themselves ore Of us. They
are not enemies but friends. This,
then, will be our reply to them.
But in regard to those who Lave
come to this country, received its
unstinted hospitality, enjoyed its
freedom of an untrammeled liberty,
the peaceful pursuit of their daily
vocations without fear or molesta
ton, sharing without forcible re-
strictions of the comforts and happl-
ness of their new environments and
associations and greater advantages,
its protection of life, liberty aRd
home, who have been extended a
cordial welcome to the land of the
free aud the home of the brave
but who has so f1agrantly abused
every hospitality, violated every
confidence and betrayed every trust,
who as asneaking, crawling spy, un-
der cover of a pretended friendship
attempts to strike down the trustful
and beneficent hand held out to
them in unfeigned cordiality and
welcome, or like some midnight as.
sassin creeping silently and stealth
ily under the mantle of darknes seek
to murder in cold blood, in deliber-
ate and premeditated thought, his
unsuspecting victims, there should
be but one answer. Return them to
their native land with the warning
that cannot be mistaken in its full
est meaning never again to set their
polluted feet upon the sacred soil Of
these United States. Their very
, breath is corrupting to the pure, free
air of American liberty and freedom
, We do not need them, we do not de,
f: sire them. There is no rightful
: place here for them.

haven of the worlds oppressed and

star of Hope, braving the perils o.
