no attempt was made to educate him

pie reason that ii adversely affected
the ledger. 1t has been my ohsCrva-
ton that the man who learns our
language, yields 10 a controlling pub
lie opinion and respects our laws be"
sides in proportion as his devotion to
American life develops, his intercs,
in the impulsive processes of revolu-
ton diminishes. We must be patient
in the work of assimilation and stud
ously ovoid oppressive measures in
the face of mere evidence of mis-
understanding.
Nation Composite One.
We have a composite nation. The
Almighty no doubt intended it to be
such. We will not, however, develop
patriotism unless we demonstrate the
difference between despotism and
democracy. The necessity for the
drastic laws of war days is not pres
ent now, and we should return at the
earliest opportunity, to the statutory
provisions passed in time of peace for
the general welfare. There is no con-
dition now that warrants any in
fringment on the right of free
speech and assembly nor on the lib
erty of the press. The greatest mea-
sure of individual freedom consistent
with the safety of our institutions
should be given. Excessive regula-
lions causes manifestations that conf
pei restraint. The police power, there
fore, is called to action because the
legislative authority acted unwisely.
A forbearing policy is not the
proper one for the deliberate enemy
Of our institutions. He is of the kind
that knows conditions abroad and
here. The difference between auto
cracy and democracy is well marked
in his mind. He is opposed to gov
eminent in any form, and he hates
ours because 1t appeals to those whom
he would convert to his creed. Any
policy of terrorism is fuel to his
fame of anarchy. Those whom he
seeks to arouse, in time, realize the
difference between his and their men,

lays hand upon his wilful menace tn
