DIFFERENTIATION AND

An Alien Will be Interested Only
in That Of Which He is Part.


Much has been spoken and written
concerning Americanization of the
foreign-born. and many methods, more
or less good, have been devised.
OF course, the immigrant should first
know English. He Will be more inter-
ested in American institutions when
he can understand what is written
and spoken about them.
He comes to the United States be-
cause he expects to better his condi-
tion,-be better housed, have better
food better clothing, better opportuni-
ties for his children. Sometimes he
acquires all this-and more Often he
is disappointed He is thrifty; indeed,
it is said of him that if forced to work
for ten cents a day he would find a
way to save at least one; but unless
his savings are we'll invested they are
like the talent in the napkin.
Why not express solicitude for the
immigrant in terms Of Government in

history and our methods of Govern

WHAT THE CHILDREN DO.

Who'll buy a stamp"

There is never a doubt of It; the
school children will! They'll save
their pennies from candy and gum and
the movies, and what they cannot
save they will earn. Do you know
that in a certain New England school
of 1900 children coming from families
of only moderate and very modestly
moderate means, the children own
several thousands of dollars worth Of
War Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps bought mostly from their own
earnings? This is In addition to Lib

teasively and many of which were
paid for in whole or in part by the
children 1t is in addition also to Vic
tory pledges. Red Cross memberships,
and dozen other things that have
appealed to their patriotism and their
sympathies for contributions.
This is what one little girl said:
AZ worked this summer and earned
two dollars "A week. l gave il all to

Heroic Louise says simply; Last

mother gave me five cents to get Ice
cream with, but l saved It for Thrift

for the bank and Thrift Stamps"

To the Editor of 1.-THE Patriot:
In anticipation of the coming

highly esteemed Governor Marcus II.
Holcomb, and thinking it will be of
interest to your many hundreds of
readers, take pleasure in sending to
you the following first printed Fast
day proclamation in America, which
appeared in the Boston News-Let-
ter" on May 8, 1874, "by order of His
Excellency Joseph Dudley, Captain
General and Governor in chief
upon consideration of the trouble
some state Of Europe by reason Of
the calamitous wars together with the
hostilities acted against us by the
treacherous, murderous, salvages
within our limits, l have thought fit
to appoint Thursday, the 18th day of
May, day of Publick Fasting with
prayer to implore the Divine Mercy,
for the preservation of her majesties
sacred person. That the defense of
divine protection may be over our sea
coast and inland frontiers; that our
seed time and harvest may be under
benign influence of heaven; that
there may be a plentiful effusion of
the Holy Spirit of God for thorough
reformation of all those evils, which
are amongst US. That so God may
turn away his anger and restore us a
prosperous state. And all servile la
bour is forbidden thereupon."

STATE POLICEMEN GET SALARY
INCREASES
Law Passed BY Last Legislature
Made Maximum Pay $1.S20
Year

The salaries of three state police
men have been Increased since the
law passed at the last session of the
legislature, fixing the maximum pay
for state policeman at $500, went
into effect. The increase in the max
imum was about $400. But the addi-
ton to the salaries voted by the state
police commission did not bring the
compensation of the men up to the
maximum figure, and at the present
time there is no state policeman in
the receipt of compensation for the
full amount which the statute says
he may receive if the commission
thinks he is entitled to it.
The commission does not determine
the amount of salary paid the super
intendent, the captain, the lieutenant
or sergeant The statutes state the
amount of compensation which each
of these officers shall be paid. There
is another branch of the state police
service where the compensation is
not definitely regulated by the law
nor by the commissions and that is
made up of the special men. The su-
perintendent has power to employ
men for special work and to fix their
compensation.
