SEND THEM BACK

CONGRESSMAN CLYDE KEL-
LEY, of Pittsburgh, is respon-
sible for a bill just introduced
into Congress providing for the de-
portation of all aliens who withdrew
their declarations of intention to be-
come citizens for the purpose of
avoiding military service during the
war. He wants these alien slackers
sent back to the places whence, they
came and denied the privileges of
this Government. This is perfectly
fair proposition.
During the mobilization of the
men of the United States we had
examples right here in Harrisburg
of aliens who had declared their in
tention of becoming citizens only to
change their minds on the entrance
of this country into the war. They
wouldn't fight for the homeland or
the United States and placed them
selves in the contemplate position
of slackers by failing to become
naturalized during the war. Their
room is more desirable than their
company, and the Kelley bill, which
provides further that all aliens living
in the United States shall declare
their intention of becoming citizens
of this country and that they shall
learn the English language and sup
port our institutions, is a perfectly
proper and logical measure.
In Pennsylvania to-day most of
the industrial disturbance can be
laid at the doors of foreign-bor
workers who have no sympathy with
or understanding of our institutions.
Mr.. Kelley's bill provides further
that when these aliens come to us
they must avail themselves of citi-
zenship or within a year after the
time limit be deported. About 200,-
900 aliens who had taken out their
first papers and were of draft age
declared they were aliens and not
subject to the draft. So be 1t. Let
| them go back and provide room
here for thousands of immigrant!
who desire to. come to this country
of freedom and opportunity and
adopt the United States as their new
home, taking part in it's development
and acting as decent citizens. As
Congressman Kelley has indicated
we must have a Nation unified, de-
voted to definite principles and ideal!

To Catch an Eagle

In an Indian story which appears
in the October issue of Boys Life
entitled THE War Trail of Lost Ar
row." Remington Schuyler describes
an Indian boys preparation for the
feat of catching an eagle:
1t was quite dark in the "medicin"
lodge. The many layers of blankets
and hides shut out the hot prairie
sunlight.
Lost Arrow, an Indian lad of
thirteen winters, swayed slowly as
he chanted.
AS he sang, someone outside lift
ed the coverings and thrust in a hot
stone. The blankets dropped into
place. The stone glowed DULY red.
Deity Lost Arrow rolled it towards
a water-filled hide. The stone hissed
like serpents.
A smoldering flash of vapor arose.
The water smoked. 1t began to
simmer-then boiled.
Great masses of steam filed the
| small oval lodge to bursting. The
sweet pungent smell of scorched
buffalo grass grew stronger. Per-
| spiration formed in tiny glistening
body. He cleaned like polished
| copper.
Steadily the hot stones appeared.
The air grew sitting. His hair hung
Imply plastered against his face and
neck. He breathed with great diff
| ficulty.
Slowly on the surface of the wa
ter there began to form a dull in
distinct ething. Some form of a
bird it was. He peered more closely,
Boiling water splashed unnoticed on
his face and chest. Finally he made
it out 1t was the barred war eagle
of the Sioux. The vision faded. He
sat for awhile considering. This
was what he had prayed for so long,
! He rose abruptly, heaving up the
lodge coverings. He shook free OF
the tangle and ran swiftly down the
steep bank and plunged into the
clear waters of the Antelope.
The sun set redly.
Twilight deepened. The distant
camp lay quiet.
Lost Arrow built a little fire OF
sweet pine and fragrant buffalo
grass. Through the slowly ascend.
ing column of smoke he passed his
arms and legs.
small stuffed prairie owl lay oddly
awkward on its back. 1t was his
medecin.
In the fitful freight he seemed to
see it shiver slightly, then roll over
onto its face until its bill sank into
I the soft earth. This was good. II
was clear that he should go at once
to the eagle-pit on Lone Tree Butte

Miracle Wheat Again

(From the Toledo Blade.)
An efficient swindle is never per-
mitted to die.
Years ago miracle wheat" was
marketed to the farmers for a price
that would dent the conscience of
a food profteer. The wheat turned
out to be just ordinary, everyday
seed-or worse. Finally, farmers
rose up and made the seed sellers
hard to catch. The affair received
as much publicity as an actress re-
ceives.
Yet here is the agricultural col
lege of Idaho sending out warnings
that marketers of miracle wheat
are in the land and prospering amaZ-
ingly. Experience, publicity, trials
and punishments - the common
knowledge of the countryside-seem
to count for nothing. Miracle

crop of farmers bit as eagerly as

Protection is a live issue In the

We have been easy to the point of

HEFLIN SEES LIGHT

TONGRESSMAN HEFLIN, of
Alabama, a vociferous supporter
of President Wilson. has intro
duced a bill "by request" providing
tariff protection for graphite, an i'm
portant Alabama product. Without
discussing the Importance of the
graphite industry or the need of
tariff protection for its development
It is interesting to observe that the
Southern free trader is such only so
Long as such policy is advantage
,ous to his particular constituency.
Mr. Hefiin has frequently been heard
10 denounce the "robber barons of
New England" and the "steel barons
OF Pennsylvania" but it is doubtful
whether he will so characterize the
4raphite owners of Alabama.
Protection is rapidly becoming a
1ive proposition in the South, owing
TO the increasing development of in
rdustrial enterprises in that section,
NO that the Hefiins who have been so
ygifb in their denunciation of the in
idustrial and mmercial leaders of
Pennsylvania and other sections of
lkhe North are going to be greatly
embarrassed by the growing need of
protection of the expanding South
yern industries. 1t all depends upon
whose OK is gored.
Heffin's Alabama friends have ap-
,peared before the Ways and Means
ICommittee of the House in support
OF the graphite bill and declare they
will be put out of business IL they
do not have a protective tariff

Liberty Bonds
[From the New York Herald1 I

lfrom the new YORK Herald
The change undergone in the
market for Liberty Bonds of all
issues in the last few weeks is one
which ought to and will engage
popular attention because of the di-
rect interest the people have in
ownership of these bonds. The bet
ter quotations are due to the Gov
ernment and all Government agen-
cles having urged the people to hold
on to the bonds, and also to the fact
that the country is full of bar
gain hunters" who have bid for
bonds in the hands of many people
unable to hold them. 1t goes with
out saying that the United States
Government bonds are the best in
vestment in the world.
