To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The foreign born element of our
country constitutes an important factor
in the development of its resources.
To eliminate criminal anarchy and
force action propaganda they must be
looked after, and strenuous care ex-
erted on the part Of our government
Our immigration laws are inadequate.
Congestion in ghettoes in the larger
cities should be prevented and rates
Of fare to Western rural and agrlcul-
tural centers reduced
Americanization centers should be
established everywhere and compulsory

press should be eliminated or placed
under control of the government The
schools should be stated with COM
petently paid teachers to make the
schools attractive centers and working
mediums between labor and employer.

sistence that law and order be su-
preme. We must not tolerate those
who advocate the overthrow of the
government or urge adoption Of Boil
shevism. With the privilege Of free
speech as principle Of democracy
make it clear that freedom of speech
implies no right to preach the doc
trines of lawlessness and anarchy. This
land IS the home of law-abiding Amer

time, however, we must get at the
root of this problem and remove the
causes of Bolshevism, for by this
method alone can we ever hope to rid
ourselves of it.
The second plank should urge Amer

disgrace. l believe that we should
insist upon q consistent cear-cut pol

tnat henceforth our borders and the
rights of our citizens will be adequate

The fourth plank should deal with
what probably will be one Of the most
prominent issues-the League of Ma
tons. On this issue let US be en-
phatic. An "Americanized League" or
no league must be our uncomp promis-
ing stand. We can not tolerate any
per,-government that interferes with
the Monroe Doctrine, our independ-
ence as nation or our right to with
hold from European entanglements.
Let US not ignore our natural obligation
in world affairs. But, let US, at ali

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A closer relationship between
capital and labor most emphatically
should exist for their mutual welfare.
If the employer Of to-day desires to
assist in stabilzing conditions he
should be Of broader mind and awake
to the necessity of cooperating with
the wage earners, the majority Of whom
are ready and willing to be consulted
regarding the bettering of conditions
for all mankind. y know, and many
others likewise know, that the condi
tions that now exist are responsible for
The "Bolshevik" tendencies that are so
widespread among the working people.
AS matter Of fact, there are some
whose Bolshevik ideas are hereditary
and cannot be eradicated. I am op-
posed to such people ard their meth
DDS. Then, there is another class of
lberty-loving people in our country,
who are dissatisfied with the intoler-
able conditions that exist, and l be-
leve they are justified. The principal
causes Of their dissatisfaction are the
paid to the workers.

Of the rise in price Of the necessities
Of life. l want to deny that for the
workers Of the building industry, as
government statistics have shown
that the cost Of living has increased
100 per cent, whereas the wages have
increased in the same period on an
average 35 per cent
Those employed in the building lins
feel they are making a sacrifice In not
demanding a 100 per cent increase to
cope with the 100 per cent increase In
the cost of living. with the hope that
the proper authorities soon will enact
legislation that will bring our country
back to pre-war times. which, in my
opinion, were satisfactory to every one
but the chronic Bolshevist.

Fo-day's Prize Letter

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: To my mind the most i'm
portant plank in the Republican
platform would provide for a
practical and eloquent "American-
ism Propaganda for Americans
and future Americans in Amer
ica."
The most sacred symbol in Amer
lea is the Statue of Liberty at our
front door, which greets all aliens
coming to our country. Do they
realize what it means? Few do.
Why should they? Who teaches
them? In ignorance they enter our
country to become a fertile field
for seeds Of unrest, anarchy and
Bolshevism, sown by professional
agitators.
Let us do away with the cause
Of this unrest. Let us teach the
alien what America stands for.
Let the Republican party pledge
itself to create a national board
of education for the purpose of
teaching Americanism to the
alien. On entering this country
the alien should go through a
compulsory course of education,
taught in his native tongue II

Proof of Loyalty Demanded

While unaquivocally committed to
the principle of popular representa-

ed States, the Republican party de-
clares that such representation is,
and necessarily must be, that rep
resentation which is provided for
and sustained by the Constitution
of the United States And, as
logical sequence, the Republican par
ty insists that every political party
or group seeking support among the
voters of the United States must

loyalty to the Constitution thereof

represent any portion of the people

Nectar and Beeswax.

According to M. CASTOR Bonner, of
the French Academy of Science, flow
ers make nectar for their own use
and not, as Darwin believed, to attract
the bees, in order that they may car
ry the pollen on their legs and bodies
from one blossom to another. M.
BONNER also has demonstrated that
bees do not get the wax of which their
honeycombs are built from the flow r..
as is generally supposed. They Sc
crete it themselves. The wax is
fatty substance, formed in special
glands, situated under several ring.
of the abdomen. 1t exudes in the form
OF whitish flakes, which the bees gath
er with their legs and use as building
material
The nectar formed at the base OF
corolla of many flowers is used BY
the fruit or seed as nutriment in
growing, much as the yo'k of an egg
is used by the embryo chick. This is
proved oy the disappearance of the
nectar as The fruit bud enlarges But
the nectar has another use; namely, 10
check the evaporation of water from
the surface Of the plant. for sweet
ened water evaporates much more
slowly than unsweetened.
The bees suck up the nectar, which
does not pass into the stomach but
into an expansion Of the esophagus.
There it undergoes a partial chem
ical transformation under the influence
of substance called invertase. which
acts as a fcrment. When the bee
disgorges the honey into the wax cell
it also discharges little invertase
and, before closing the cell, tiny
drop of venom from its sting to pre-
vent fermentation.
Thus" says Bonner, "the bees in
vented antiseptics before Pasteur or
Lister" 1t is this drop of poison that
preserves the honey for years.
