OUR FOREIGN-BORN

.THE Americanization plans of the
Chamber of Commerce of the
United States are taking def
mite form in many cities and there
is a work to do-an important work
along similar lines-in our own
community. Foreign-born residents
who want to become real Americans
have a right to their chances The
Telegraph finds, in a little investiga-
ton, that hundreds of those who
first saw the light in other lands
want to live among us as fellow citi-
zens. They should be encouraged
in every proper way-through the
public schools, in our civic organi-
cations and churches and by indi-
vidual effort.
Show these aliens sympathy and
disposition to help them. We can
do much to make the world safe for
democracy by starting right here in
America Let us give these seekers
after liberty a welcoming hand when

In Cincinnati recently the Chamber
of Commerce of that city, in CO.
operation with other societies, held
Patriots Day celebration at which
the Governor and other speakers ad-
dressed the foreign-born. More than
| five thousand were present and the
police turned hundreds away. News
papers entered into the campaign
to make the meeting a success, and
cards were printed in the press
everywhere like the following:
You will be serving your coun-
try If you will go TO the foreign
! born resident of your neighbor-
hood or who is employed in your
! home or your business and say:
| Il want you as my guest at Fri
day nights meeting; my per-
sonal guest, 1t is for you and
foreign-born man and woman
have been waiting for, or better,
! hoping for, says the American
ization Committee. There has
not been enough of the sympa-
| thetic attitude and good will ex-
tended to these folks. who. per-
force, can not but feel that they
are without the pale of Amer
icanism when they are regarded.
as too often they are, with little
interest by those they had hoped
to know some day as fellow
Americans, the Committee adds.

Commissioner Gross is wisely COM
ing to the conclusion that the pres
ent system of policing sthe parks
must be abandoned. Most people ap-
preciate official kindness and consid-
Grafton for old men. but the destruc-
tive gangs are becoming a serious
nuisance and cannot be handled by
the old park guards. These hoodlums
destroy trees and shrubbery without
fear of arrest or punishment. Young
officers on motorcycles would cost
the city no more than the present in
adequate force and the results would
be satisfactory.
