ROTARIANS TOLD
Of NECESSITY FOR
UNITED ERICANS

Americanism and The need of United
Americans was the subject of a
strong talk by A. b.. McMillen yester-
day at the Rotary luncheon.
Mr.. McMiuen was recently chosen
national committeeman for New Mex
leo to the national convention of
United Americans in Chicago next
June.
That with the present trend Of rad
icalism. Bolshevism and l. W. W..
teachings in the country the present
was no time for Americans to keep ST.
lent, was the burden of Mr. McMillen's
talk. He explained clearly that the
organization of United Americans IS
not anti anything except those things
that are contrary to the constitution
and the representative form of gov
eminent.
He said that the the ideals of the
United Americans were those OF
Washington, jefferson and Lincoln
and its principles the principles upon
which the very foundation Of the ma
tion were built.
The declaration of independence,
which states specifically that govern
ments are instituted among men, de-
irving their just power from the con-
sent Of the governed" was being as
sailed. he declared, and the constltu-
ton which was founded by the people !
of the United States in order to form
a more perfect union, to establish
iustice insure domestic tranquility, |
provide for the common defense, pro-
mote the general welfare and secure
the blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our posterity," was i'm grave dan
ger unless Americans should snow
the forces that are at work against
the government that the real spirit OF
American still lives. /
In contrast to the purposes anu
ideals of the United Americans, MI.
McMillen produced some |. w. w. ana
anarchstic literature which Is beng
circulated extensively and whlch, ne
said shows to all right thinking men
and women, Americans or not, that IL
is time the forces of right and justice
were aligning themselves, The follow |
ing song was read from a book of l.
w. W songs. On the cover page TINS
book. which is an official one, carries
this clause: ITO Fan the Flames OF
Discomfort" The song IS cared
christians of war" and was written
by one John f. Kendrick. This is 1t:
coward, Christian neghbors, Dutys
way is plain:
Stay your Christian neighbors or by |
them be slain.
Pulpiteers are spouting efferYesceht
swill
God above is calling you to rob and |
rape and kill, -. |
All your acts are sanctified by the |
Lamb on high;
If you love the Holy Ghost, go muir
der, pray and die.
Onward, Christian soldiers, rip and |
tear and smite;
Let the gentle Jesus bless your dyna-
mitef
Splinter skulls with shrapnel, fertilize
the sod;
Folks who do not speak your tongue |
deserve the curse of God.
smash the doors of every home, pretty |
maidens seize;
Use your might and sacred right to
treat them as you please.
Onward Christian soldiers; eat your
drink and fill;
Rob with bloody fingers Christ 0. KS
the bill |
Steal the farmers savings, take their !
grain and meat; |
Even though the children starve, the |
Savior's buns must eat.
Burn the peasants cottages; orphans I
leave bereft;
In Jehovah's holy name, wreak ruin
right and left,
onward, Christian soldiers, bhghting
all you meet,
human freedom under
pious feet.
Praise the Lord whose dollar sign
dupes his favored race,
Make the foreign trash respect your
bullion brand of grace.
Trust in mock salvation, serve as pl-
rates tools;
History will say of you; THAT pack
of G. D. fools"
When the men at lunch were able to
get their breath after the above was
read. A. B. Stroup was given the |
floor and said that pledges were be-
ing gotten ready and within a very
few days every citizen of Albuquerque |
and of New Mexico would have the
to line up with those who |
will stand by the constitution or those
who can produce and teach such doc
trines. |
Fl. b, Watkins and John Milne both |
smoke about the teachers convention, |
the first sessions of which will begin
There will be no rotary meeting
next week
