SEND BACK The
ALIEN Who CAN
NOT Be TAUGHT
Ole Hanson. Moline Speaker, Strong
for Application of 100 Per
Cent Americanlsm.
Especial Moline Service .

Former Mayor Ole Hanson, who
won fame by his decisive methods
OF dealing with anarchistic leanings
during the Seattle strike last spring
was a speaker before the Moline
After Dinner club last evening. He
proved a strong advocate for 100
per cent Americanism and urged
consideration of home problems
before dealing with those in other
lands. He was particularly warm
in his advocacy of prompt and eff
fective measures to assimilate for
eign born members of the popula-
ton. He said in part:
"a large number of unassimilated
and irreconcilable aliens have come
to America IN the last few years.
They have come here with hatred
in their hearts for all governments,
believing if they overthrow our
government the millennium will
have arrived.
There is only one thing to do
with irreconcilable agitators-put
them on a boat and send them back.
But the great majority of unas-
simulated aliens are unassimilated
because the rest of US haven't been
constructive Americans. They
don't know any better. We have
put them in the factories as we
would mules.
IT'S the foreigners ignorance
and our neglect that's made most
of the trouble in the United States.
Better Pay for Teachers.
1arIorad nnnrIU M III
teachers are a menace to America
and to the 100000 school chill
dren of America. The antagonism
aroused by poor pay makes Social
lists of teachers. he said, and that
socialism is passed on to the chill
dren.
It's not good business to pay
teachers a pittance," said Hanson.
Poorly paid teachers are unfit to
teach. II is absolutely necessary
that our teachers be able to sing
My Country 'Tis of Thee"-and
mean it.
There is no need of any preach
ing of revolution. We can change
The man who advocates overthrow
Of government and the establish
ment of a dictatorship should not
receive employment in America.
Your business is Americaniza-
ton of the alien. You are now
faced with a graver condition than
during the war I want the men
and women to save what the 100,-
900 died for. You owe it to every
boy who fought to maintain the
freedom and liberty we received
from our forefathers."
The real danger today, according
to Hanson, is that lot OF red en-
ployers and red employees are going
to bring the decent employers and
employees into bad repute.
Laws" he said, will not pro-
duce one bushel OF corn or one car
pet tack. Somebody's got to work"
