1t appears that ven the Democrats
of congress have reached the point
where they think it necessary to in
struct officials of the administration
to comport themselves according to
the law. In the discussion incident
to the passage of the sundry civil
appropriation bill in the house, a
Democrat from Texas offered an
amendment directing the secretary of
the treasury to allot sufficient funds
to customs districts along the Next
can border to enable them ito per-
form adequately the duties authorized

ment received the endorsement of the

they ought not to "object to this in

BANKS DO
GOOD WORK

The banks of the country deserve
great credit for the educational work
they are doing to guide the public
along conservative and constructive
lines.
Leading financial institutions are
encouraging industrial development
and preaching the work and save doc
trine as the logical remedy to bring
about normal conditions.
Some of the best reading matter of
today is found in bank publications
dealing with current problems.
This is free to the public and has
great educational effect from the
standpoint Of showing the reasons for
abnormally high prices and the
remedy.
The truth the banks are teaching
is that our national prosperity rests
on a sound industrial system and the
ability of our people to create new
wealth through production and saw

ASSIMILATING
THE ALIEN

One of the outstanding revelations
of the war to America is the alien
menace No sooner had the upheaval
in Europe begun than our much
boosted "melting-pot" began to stir,
and we found out for the first time
just how little it had really boiled,
and what a mass of unassimiliated
matter it contained.
Now we find that we have IL, 500, 900
aliens in this country, only six mil
lion of whom have been interested
enough in this country to become citi-
zens, while more than ten millions
allegiance to foreign govern
ments.
If American institutions and Ameri-
a ideals of justice and morality are
to be maintained, it is manifest that
our assimilating process will have to
be speeded up. To use force is out
of the question. That method has been
tried in Europe and found unsuccess-
full. 1t is neither desirable mol eff
fective.
To accomplish this huge task of
Americanizing ten million aliens, the
various forces of uplift and education
must join hands with the government
in a mighty campaign of education in
Americanism among the alien groups.
