U. S. LIKE ROME
Colonel Dean Sounds Warning
in C. of c. Speech.
He Sa-s All Languages Except
English Should Be Checked.
Need BIGGER men IN POLITICS
Practical BOlshevism Taught at
Washburn, He Says.
Melting Pot Idea of Americans
Must Be Abolished.
Need BIGGER men IN POLITICS

Declaring that all business should
be transacted in the English language
in the United States; that no news
papers should be permitted to be
published in this country in any lam
guage other than English. and that
no societies should be permitted to be
established unless 1t was known that
they would support the constitution
of the United States and all that this
government stood for; Colonel Dean
chara cterized these features as meas
ures which would aid in suppressing
growing unwelcome tendencies in the
United States.
He stated it has been shown that
the melting pot idea is wrong. He
compared conditions in the United
States with those in Rome shortly be-
fore the fall of the Roman empire.
Rome had become a melting pot.
There were no Roman citizens left.
The entrance of the blood of other
races had wiped out the true Roman.
Dean says that is what this country
is approaching IL the lax emigration
laws are permitted.
Conditions In n. Y.
As an example he mentioned con-
ditions as he observed them in New
York where in many parts of the city
there were large districts in which the
! English language was never spoken.
| When war broke out we were sure Of
the support OF those people who were
allied with this country in the war
| while those not so allied were in spirit
bound to our enemies, he said.
| To show how great hold these
| things had already taken upon this
country. Colonel Dean. picked up a
| book. 1t was The Only Possible
! Peace" by Frederick c. Howe. 1t was
text book used in Washburn college.

might just as we'll Lave been written
| by Trotzky or Lenine. 1t classified
the United States as an imperialistic
country. France and England were
also so classified.
| Need Big Public Men.
Dean asserted that the man who did
not stand for the American govern
ment was a revoiutionist. The civil
war was fought for the maintenance
of this country as n union. The late
great war was entered into to protect
the rights of American citizens and
preserve the liberty for which this
country stood. Politics is to be con
sidered as not an attempt to fool thu
people but must be handled by mel
big enough to always have in sight tn
:, things for which the United States ha
always stood IL 1t is to maintain it,

The great inflow of undesirable EN-
migration is threatening to disrupt thi
unity. Dean says. The scum o
Europe. full of aEitators. boisheviks
anarchists and revolutionists. is beins
dumped into this melting pot. Tn

There were IS states represented in
the National Guard rifle match. and
the Kansas team came out third. The

Each state team consisted of sixteen

were represented, one from the regu-
lar army. one from the marine corps,
one from the navy, one from the ma

this match were won by the marines.
Owing to the fact that most of

However, most of the other partici-
