REAL INSTRUMENTATION.

MAKE the United States a One Lam
guage Nation is the watchword adopt
ed by the National Security League for
one of the great divisions Of its work,
directed by a Committee on Foreign
Language and Foreign Press. This
committee Is devoting It's attention 1T
the present time toward obtaining the
elimination of the teaching Of German
i'm the public schools of the country
and the discontinuance of newspapers
printed in German. The thought back
of this effort OF tho Security League,
however, rs set forth by Col. Charles
e. Lydecker, president of the League,
In u recent interview goes far beyond
enemy alien considerations.
"It is the duty of every citizen to
know the English tongue" says Colo
mel Lydecker. ITO refuse to learn 1t is
to fling defiance at the nation. To neg
lect to learn 1t is voluntarily TO remain
unfit for the duties of American citi-
Zcnsbip. We are justified in expecting
open and loyal conduct. and we claim
the right to insist upon this. Alnert-
canization really means education. IL
we educate people properly we
shall make true Americans of our citi.
zens of whatever blood, Americans
wise In knowledge Of the principles of
democracy and true in heart for fair
ness and generosity between mon.
Great patience has been exercised in
our efforts to convince the foreigners.
In the case of those not now convinced
Justice to the cause for which we fight
demands stronger measures. They
must be compelled to convince them
selves of the value and the justice of
American ideas, and this requires o
knowledge of the English language"
All the arguments on that so fire.
uuently nebulous term 'Amerieani2a-
ton would seem to be summed up
here. What could be simpler or more
Common-sensible than that a man IL
fully appreciate America must know
its language?

A Y CONGRESSMAN.

President Wilson seems to have
rather definitely settled a much moot
ed question by his opposition to the
candidacy for reelection of Congress
man Slayden of Texas, which resulted
in that gentleman Withdrawing from
the race. Mr.. Slayden voted for both
the Consumption Bill and the Declara-
ton Of War, but had q consistent anti
preparedness record and voted against
the Kahn Amendment substituting the
selective draft for the volunteer sys-
TEN in the Consumption Bill.
There has been much discussion as
to whether n Congressman's loyalty or
war record should be Judged accord
Ing to the way he voted on the Dec
laration of War and has voted since,
or whether his opposition to antc-war
measures looking to the military eli,
cheney of the country should be count
ed against him. President Wilson APP
pears to have answered the question.
In line with this viewpoint as to the
war fitness of a Congressman the Ma
tional Security Leagues Congressional
Campaign Committee has just issued a
chart giving the record of the votes
of all the members of the House OF
Representatives I'm the S~ixty-fourth
and Sixty-fifth Congresses on the eight
principal preparedness and war meas
ures, from the McLemore Resolution
to the Kahn Amendment. The Securi,
tn Leagues committee analyses the
chart by individuals and by states. II
shows that of the 374 men who sat in
both Congresses only Al voted right
on all eight measures thatD7 voted
wrong on all eight, % wrong on sever
Of the measures, 80 wrong on six and
% wrong on five.
North Dakota heads the bad record
list with a percentage of 1916 wrong
votes. Colorado is a close second with
q percentage Of 1872.
These figures clearly indicate that
there Is decided room for Improvement
in the present constitution Of Con
gress and make an unanswerable argu-
ment for the support Of the National
Security Leagues campaign for a 1O0
per cent. loyal Congress by all patriot.
