SENATOR JOHNSON Of Californi,

SENATOR JOHNSON Of California
expresses the sentiments Of all
true Americans in the following ex-
cerpt from his speech on the alien bill:
The citizens Of the United States
are through with being told by alien
revolutionists, communists and anar-
chists, who are within our borders by
our courtesy and by our grace, how to
run our government" declared Mr..
Johnson. Free press in the United
States Is ours; not theirs; free speech
is ours, not theirs; and they have
gone just AS far as we can let them
go toward running our most precious
rights. They have been guests in our
house. They have misbehaved most
They are welcome no longer
and they must go And those who
come from foreign shores in the fu-
lure must come only on probation.

TOOK IT AS A COMPLIMENT
Whittier's Pet Dog Had Reasons for
Showing Appreciation Of Sing
ing Of robin Adair."

An old lady who was a friend Of
the poet Whittier tells the following
story:
AT one time, when his birthday was
being publicly celebrated, he had as
a guest Mrs. Julia Houston West,
then the most celebrated oratorio
singer In America. After the dinner
Whittier asked her t. sing. She chose
for her selection the ballad Robin
Affair."" which she sang with great
pathos and feeling. Hardly had she
begun the song when Whittier's pet
dog came into the room. walked oyer
close to her side and stared up at her
with every expression Of delight.
When she had finished. he lifted his
paw to shake hands, and then, leap
ing up, he licked her cheek.
His name is also Robin Affair.""
explained Mr.. Whittier, 80 he takes
that song Ms a tribute to himself"
And very evidently he did. From
that moment he devoted himself TO
Mrs. West, hardly leaving her side,
indoors or out, during her visit and
when she went~away he carried her
travelling bag in his mouth as far as
the carriage, and showed his sorrow
over her departure in every way that
a dog could.-Youth's Companion.
