The Place of the Foreigner

few days ago we had conversation with =
LAWYER who has been prominently identified with or
ganized labor. He was crticising our NATURALIZATION
laws which deprive many laborers in TINS country
of voice in legislation which establish conditions
of labor While organized labor he said constituted
very large part of the male population OF TINS coun
try its voting strength comparatively small since
a. majority of the members were not naturalized and
therefore had nothing in the elections OF men
who adopt state or national policies affecting labor
This was state of things which he feared would Ill
timately lead to great industrial uprising
This was most extraordinary, even an impudent
view of the situation 1t might be answered by the
rejonder that if an unnauralized laborer is unwilling
to assume the of citizenship that he could
have voice in such things, and if he is dissatisfied
with the counrys policies with respect to labor there
is nothing will prevent his return to the country
of his citizenship where he may have voice in the
election of men who formulate labor legislation We
have no laws in this country holding the dissatisfied
unnaturalized foreigner.
We will set against this extraordinary opinion
that the foreign-born unnatura1ized worker should
have a voice IL. labor legislation a radical, but
do not think an unreasonable belief that he should
be deprived of voice in organized labor on any
question affecting the American public.
This view expressed by a reader of the New
York Tribune who had read article in the Tribune
in which it was stated that only per cent of Rus
nauralized within five to niney period
He asks why should the other go per cent of Russian
citizens in this country have the right to cast vote
in labor unions any other union that would
a closing of American industry.
The writer goes to say:
Il would suggest the passage of a law that would
prevent citizens from participating in labor
movements insofar they might influence be
responsible for the closing of American shops. Why
should foreigner be permitted to vote to close an
American institution?
This would bring about that every foreigner who
is enjoying American rights, etc, will become
an American citizen and carry a citizens respon-
sbility before having anything say how Amer
leans should conduct their businesses"
A very large proportion of the steel workers are
foreigners. Most of those organized in the campaign
previous to the calling of the workers strike
were foreigners and may doubt whether but for
the foreign vote on the strike, it would have been
called In much of the disorder that has followed the
list of the killed and wounded strikers in an outbreak
at one of the Corn Products plant near Chicago last
summer all the but two were foreign Slavic

Columbus and the kniahts

little before daybreak 427 years ago this morn
ing sailor on the Santa Maria the Pinta or the
Nina caught the first glimpse of land he had seen
since the caravels had left the Canaries more than
a month before. This land was a small island now
of uncertain identity, but America was discovered BY
that lone and keeneyed watcher for las Indasp
Great as this discovery it is not now gener-
ally observed. Like many of our anniversaries
of important events it is allowed to pass almost for
gotten But there is one organization which remem-
bers it though it may not celebrate 1.-THE Knights
of Columbus which has taken it's name from the great
dscoverer.
SO long as the memory of that great event is in
keeping of the Knights of Columbus it will not fail
for that is one of the organizations which will not
fail Though the organization is comparatively Young
it has had rapid growth and within the last two
years most remarkable growth It was in the war
by the self sacrifice of it's representatives and the
self sacrifice of its members home that it gained
such an impetus
whether 1t was rendered debarkation point or in
the fury of the battle front It's service was without
price. The boys found K c. huts free cigarettes
free everything, welcome and a warm handcIasp
Representatives of the order were found some
times in the trenches rendering service to tho
wounded and to the weary, overstrained soldiers II
is no wonder that thousands of the boys of different
religion or no religion at all were impressed bv that
service and felt that such Organization was worthy
OF membership. That is why the Knights of Columbus
nave SO wonderfully fourished since the war;

The Lacelle Consolidated Indepen-
dent Schol district election held
September 18th, the second election
of its kind to carry in the history of
Clarke county, was favorably voted
on by the people of that community
This district is to include eight dis
tricts, six located in Knox township
and two in Ward. The consolidated
school building will probably be
erected in or near Lacelle. Two other
petitions for consolidation are being
circulated, one for consolidation
near Jamison of six districts in Ere
mont township and another for the
consolidation of five districts in
Liberty township. Though several
times prior in the history of this
county were attempts made to con-
|solidate various school communities
nevertheless the voting was always
unfayorable to the issue. This year
however the consolidation projects
are evidently being favored and two

PIE HUNTERS
MEET IN JACKSON

Leaders of the two factions of the
Republican party met in Jackson
Monday. one group meeting in the
American Theatre, and one in the Hill
hall. Each delegation elected officers
to fill the vacancies of the state Re
publican executive committee, and
made plans for the state, district and
county convention.
The split in the party appears to
be irreconcilable, and doubtless meuls
that both factions will send a dele
cation to clamo. for recognition by
the National Republican convention.
The meeting in the American Thea
ter building was headed by William
@. Liton, chairman, and George G.
Cranberry, secretary Of the older
party faction. The newer faction was
headed by NJ. J. Mulvihill, chairman.

COMMUNICATED
WANTED-'A LIBRARY
AT S. ID. LEE II. S.

Dear Citizens:
We, the students Of the S. d. Lee
High School, appreciate the fact that
you dug" mighty deep to give us
this splendid school with an equip
almost complete. But there is
one thing lacking which keeps our
school from being one Of the best in
the South. That thing is an up-to-
date library. We are counting on
you to bring US up to the highest
standard.
am Senior and we Seniors know
how much this school needs the pro-
per books. All the classes have a
certain amount Of reference work
throughout the year. How are we
to do this work, If there are no books ?
In certain departments much par
allel reading is required. Ii we had
enough books to do this reading with
out having to borrow, think, as a
whole, we would get much more out
of them. The Seniors thinks they
have about three times as much work
as the other classes, and they do have
much. know If we could do all this
work properly And systematically we
would Be the bet informed people III
the worldg9T That y your ambition for
us, So why not give us those badly
needed books? t@
Fathers, mothers, and patrons, just
look at West Point, our rival town;
she has library Of course it is not
in the High School, but the students
use it as much, or more than the cit
liens. If we had a library at the
school, the townspcoplc would have
the privilege Of using the books.
There is no doubt that Columbus
needs library. Why not install one
at our new school? Don't let West
Point get ahead of Columbus!
We cannot but feel sure of your
aid in this urgent matter. You have
never failed US in the past. You will
not fail us now?
Expectantly yours,

RAILROAD NOTES

Engineer w. H. Billy Connell, a
passenger engineer on the NJ. & o.,
running over the Montgomery Dis
trict rails and an engineer with much
seniority on the Mobile and Mont
gomery districts was here in at
tendance at court the past week, be-
ing summoned as a witness. The
killing Of canine near New Hope
brought a full crew here as witnesses.
Billy is not very loquacious at any
time and proved very invaluable
witness. He declared while driving
the mogul that he had any recol-
lection of hitting the canine. 1t is
recalled that a number of years ago
he was known in railroad vernacular
as "whistling piece of furniture"
and that once upon time when an
opera house in West Point was filled
to it's capacity he tried out a new
caIliope whistle. The show was full
of chestnuts and when he signalled
for West Point a small boy exclaim-
ed: "Billy Connell, by golly, with
his new calliopel" Most of the au-
dience left and went to the M. & o.
to see the fast midnight express go
by. If Billy's eyesight is dimmed he
is yet the same good engineer that
handles an M. & 0. throttle.
