Seventh, If he be citizen and so
much more foul betrayer, put him
where he will be safe but useful. We

ment of ample size to house these
traitors

"The biggest of all the big prob
lens facing this nation in these great
days of readjustment is to make
America safe for Americans" said
Mr.. Davey in discussing the need Of
legislation.
81 am in thorough sympathy with
the plan and purpose to establish in
ternational justice and right. The
world must have law and order among
and between nations. We can ex-
pect nothing less as the proper fruit
of the tragedy through which man
kind has lately passed.
"But we must not become so alb
sorbed in the affairs of the world that
we overlook the thing dearest to the
hearts of real Americans-the pro-
lection of our own country from foes
and traitors within.
"This war has taught us some
things that an alert citizenship ought
to have known. Good Americans
have had such faith in our institutions
and such an assurance of our national
security, that we have taken for
granted many unwarranted things and
trusted fate to lead us safely through
the unfolding scenes Of our national
life.
"We have permitted the Teuton to
plant his diabolical and insidious
agents everywhere and anywhere
with sharpened knife to lay open
the national heart. This danger is
now known and guarded against and
therefore less to be feared-if we do
not sleep again.
Likewise, we have extended the
hand Of welcome to the oppressed of
of every land and have thrown wide
the doors of freedom and opportunity.
Thank God, a large portion of them
accepted the spirit of America as we'll
as her hospitality.
"But there are all too many of
them whose character makes them
impossible of assimilation, whose
idea of liberty is silence, whose at
titude toward hospitality is treach-
cry. They partake of our blessings
and our prosperity and hold the dag
ger to our backs. They come into
our house and plot it's destruction.
'"This is a country where the ma
jority rules. Evolution may move
bit too slowly to suit the wild-eyed
radicals. But the rule of the major
ity is fundamentally right and the
majority can have anything they
want Even if the majority should
want something that might prove to
be wrong, they can still have it.
"The hour has struck when Amer
lea must protect herself from those
within, her borders who would de-
stroy her. Else we shall deserve
whatever fate may overtake US. We
cannot play with snakes and remain
forever unbitten. We cannot leave

CONGRESSMAN DAvy
after THE ALIENS
Says United States Must Be Protected
From Traitors.

"Rid America of those who would
do her harm. Cease this soft handed
dealing with these ingrates who would
destroy the things that we hold most
dear. Make America safe for Amer
icans."
That is the policy enunciated in a
published interview by Representative
Martin L. Davey, of Kent, whose dis
trict, of which Medina county is a
part, contains one of the greatest for
eign populations of any district in the
state.
Mr.. Davey said that he has decided
to devote his greatest attention dur
ing this session of congress to legis-
lation to deal with radicals and dis
loyalists and the promotion of Ameri-
canization.
II am only one of 435 members of
the house, but in so far as it lies
within my power, here are some Of
the things l shall earnestly strive to
accomplish, said Mr. Davey in outlin-
ing his program of endeavor.
"First, make it little harder to
secure citizenship, so that in the fu-
ture those who assume the sacred OBJ
legation may at least know how to
read and write the English language
and understand the simple fundamen-
tails of American government.
Second, give large federal aid to
educational work thruout the country,
seeking thoroughly to Americanize
all who are willing to be and to spread
the advantages of education to en-
Tighten and bless every adult and
every child. Education is assuredly
the bulwark Of civilization.
"Third, place a heavier tax upon
aliens who grow fat upon our pros
perity and who steadily refuse the
responsibilities of citizenship. If
they do not like it, let them depart
in peace and make room for a more
worthy type.
Fourth, forbid the right of citi-
zenship to all those who, when the
test came, withdrew their first papers
to escape the draft and remained here
to receive the highest wages in his
tory, while noble Americans went
forth to battle to save democracy and
civilization and to protect them in
their cowardly gain. Having denied
them citizenship send them back
where they came from.
Fifth, open the door for worth
while and sturdy immigrants who
measure up to American standards
and who can pass reasonable but
necessary restrictions. We must not
eliminate one large group without ad-
mitting another and more desirable
group.
"Sixth, make it a crime of severest
kind to advocate or attempt the des-
truction of this government by force.
Whether he be |. W. w., Bolshevik,
or any other radical who seeks to des-
troy by force this, the best govern
ment on earth, let him pay price

FELL DOWN STAIRS
AND FRACTURED BOTH ARMS

On Saturday evening Mrs. E. C.
Wilbur, who lives on the center road,
over in Granger, suffered the fracture
of both arms by falling down stairs.
One arm was broken above the elbow
and the other near the wrist.
DR.. Cumberworth Of Remson Cor
ners, was called to reduce the frac-
ture. Reports say the unfortunate
woman is getting along very well,
considering the nature of her in
juries.
Besides the broken bones the wom-
an sustained a severe cut on her head
from which the blood flowed consid-
erably prior to the ordeal of having
her arms placed in splints.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
only one way to cure catarrhal Deafness
and that is by a constitutional remedy
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an m
famed condition Of the mucous lining Of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infiamed you have rumblng sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases Of
deafness are caused by catarrn, which is
an infiamed condition Of the mucous sur

will be examined tomorrow by the war
expenditures committee OF congress. 1t
is understood that in addition to q,Ies-
tions of a general character regarding
the disposition of surplus stock he will
be asked about attacks made on Ger
mans the day after the armistice was
signed and other features of military
operations. -
The destruction of material owned
by American forces in France Is re-
ceiving particular attention from the
war expenditure committee of con-
gress. which yesterday inquired into
the burning of 100000 of aviation
stock and the destruction of motor
vehicles.
There seems to be a difference of
appreciation between French and Am
erican officials as to the value of the
material broken up. 1t was generally
considered worthless by American
army officers, while the French placed
certain value on it as junk.
The committee has obtained evil
dence that the aviation stock burned
included machines of value. The com
mittee will spend several days exam
lining in detail the bulk sales of the
French government Of American goods
comprising s135, ,0OO. 900 OF food and
$137, 900, 600 Of clothing.

Washington, Aug. 29.-With the non
chalance of laundryman handing
over his bill for the weeks wash, Pres
ident Wilson asked congress to settle
little amount of about $1,500,00O, the
cost of negotiating the peace treaty in
Paris.
The American commission, headed
by the president. has spent and in
Cured liabilities to date amounting
to $1,250,629.74. To keep the commits

cenber to work on the other treaties,
as the president plans to do, will can
for an additional expenditure Of $780,
629.74, and to meet this expense the
president asked congress to appro-
pirate $S25,000.
Many of the expenditures in the ac-
count sent to congress are merel's
estimated, and it is believed the total
cost Of the treaty-making commission
will be approximately $2.000,000.

eighty eight were civilians.

Another item of large expense was
due-to the impairment of communi-

establishment of a courier system
and the sending of commissions to
Poland. the Balkans, Turkey. the
Baltic provinces and Russia to OBJ
tain information. Automobiles cost
ing $4,000 were purchased by the

House Committee Votes to Recommend
Flat Increase to Al Employees.
Washington. Aug. 29-Ignorfns a
protest from the postoffice department,
the house postoffice committed decid-
ed to favorably report bill granting
bonus of $50 year for virtually
every regular employe in the postal
service.
The bill also provides for an increase
for temporary employees by raising the
minimum wage for this class Of work
ers from 40 to so cents an hour
About 25O0O0 men and women will
be affected and this aggregate addi-
tional expense to the government will
be approximately $40,000,000 a year.
The bonuses and increases are made
retroactive to July and will be paid
in monthly installments.
The only restriction upon payment
of the bonuses is that the salaries of
third class postmasters shall not Nbe
increased to more than 81, 900 a year
and fourth class postmasters shall
not be advanced to more than $1,000.
The refusal of Postmaster General
Burleson to allow increases sufficient
10 meet the 4ncI eased cost of living
made congressional action necessary,
members Of the committee said. They
denied that threats of strikes prompted
the action.
In it's formal protest against the
workers requests. the Postoffice De-
partment contended that the proposed
increases would impose an unnecessary
burden upon the public. In a strongly
worded letter TO the committee. First
Assistant Postmaster General Koons
said the department could not grant
the increases unless higher rate are
allowed or additional appropriations
authorized.
The measure agreed upon embraces
some of the features Of several plans
but follows the bill offered by Rep
resentative Madden of Illinois.

Leaders Continue Conferences.

Washington, Aug. 29.-Labor unrest
over the country was the subject OF
further conferences today between
President Samuel Gompers and the
members of the executive committee
of the American Federation OF Labor.
After these conferences Mr.. Gompers
was to discuss the general labor situa-
ton with President Wilson at the
White House.
Matters understood to have been
considered today by the labor ofIIcial;,
Included the threatened strike OF steel
workers and the demands of railroad
employees for increased wages unless
living costs are reduced. As the fed
Grafton chiefs assembled. Frank Nor
rison. secretary. said a general state
ment probably would be issued during
the day.
Wilson Appealed to BY Steel Workers.
President Wilson is to be asked to
take a hand in the controversy be-
tween the steel workers and the Uni
ted States Steel Corporation in an ef-
fort to prevent a general strike. This
announcement was made today by the
committee Of the steel workers, who
charged that the steel corporation was
trying to force the issue before the
president could have an opportunity to
pass upon the merits OF the contro-
versy.
In telegram TO the union of steel
workers at Gary. Ind, the committee
said the strikers were not to strike
"under any circumstances" until the
strike date had been set by the COM
mittee. The Gary union had tele-
graphed that the steel workers were
being disseminated against and dis
charged wholesale for the purpose OF
forcing q strike.
