One Nation. Immigrants and All

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: A number Of respondents
have expressed in the columns OF your
paper their desire to bar immigrants
from citizenship on the ground that
their loyalty is naturally divided be-
tween the country of their birth and
that of their adoption. "Amerca for
Ame mericans" is the slogan.
True, immigrants for a long time re-
tain their love for their cold country"
But do not Irish Americans of the sec
ond and even of the third generation
pride themselves on being "Irish"? Did
not the late Theodore Roosevelt pride
himself on his Dutch descent?
Benedict Arnold was not an imm-
grant, nor son Of the h-slandered
history of our country have immigrants
| (the fathers and grandfathers of your
extremely nationalistic correspondents
betrayed this country in time Of emer-
gency or worked contrary to the in
terests Of our nation in peace time?
Unity IS OF course desirable in our
rational life, and though in certain
phases of life assimilation comes
pretty slowly, in political and in in
dustrial lines we are one unit, one ma
tional entity. Not to quote statistics,
look at our roadways and at our streets,
paved by immig igrants-ltalians; take
glance at our elegant women wearing
suits made by immigrant Jews from
Russia and Galicia and you will have
to admit that, immigrants and "natives"
alike, we all have built, magnifed and
beautifled this country. By the very
nature of things we are all nodded
into ONE nation, OUR country!---
whether one likes that or not

''The Lac Of the Land''

Mr. Wilson raises his hand to the
cbjectors to prohibition, with the cx-
ciamation, Gentlemen, it IS the law of
the land. and what are you going to do
about it?' 1t is supposedly the duty
OF all good citizens to obey the laws
Of the land. Mr. Wilson forgets that
there is higher law than any human
law There are laws of nature, laws
ordained by God Almighty, such as the
lnalienable laws of life, liberty, the
ownership of property, the inviolability
or the home and the pursuit of happi-
ness--laws recognized as divine and
written into our Constitution by the
fathers of our country. The Eighteenth
Amendment, by robbing us of our per-
aonal Liberties guaranteed in the Con-
stitution, violates and breaks a God
ordained and sacred law, and he who
chooses to disobey the Eighteenth
Amendment and who chooses to dis
obey the Volstead act, or any act

BRITISH FLAG CUT
DOWN AND BURNED
BYA.E.E.VE VETERAN
Couldn't Stand It Under My
Nose Any Longer" He
Declares.

NEW YORK, July "a crowd of
thousand watched yesterday. an1
some applauded. when James Barry.
an A. z. r. veteran. and two COM
panions pulled down and burned a
British Union Jack that had been fly
ing all day as part OF the decorations
OF the Hilltop Apartments. at 1O6
Audubon avenue. The flag hung In
a group OF three. to the right Of the
French and American flags. but was,
according to Barry. larger and more
conspicuous than either. II was fivs
by eight feet in size.
Barry and two companions-P. J.
Murphy. OF 5O4 West l72nd street, a
Spanish war veteran, and James titz-
patrick. Of 191 Audubon avenue-had
been sitting in Barry's apartment,
and ono OF them comment eG"on the
size Of the British flag. A small
crowd was standing in front OF the
apartment house gazing at 1t as he
spoke.
II can't stand that under my nose
any longer" Barry says he replied.
He went downstairs, got a stepladder,
and carried II across to the Hilltop
Apartments. where, watched by a
gathering crowd, he climbed up to
the flre escape from which the flags
were swung and began to cut the
offending ensign loose. There wero
some cheers from tho crowd as the
flag nuttered to the sidewalk.
Fitzpatrick and Murphy picked up
the flag and, with Barry in the lead.
carried II to a nearby vacant lot.
where II was swung on to pole AMI
set on fire. The crowd followed. ana
there were again some cheers. Tho
bunting burned quickly.
There were no police in sight when
the incident took place. and no re-
port or complaint was made to the IN
OF the occurrence.

OIL TRUST KN|F|NG
SMALL PRODUCERS,
SAYS 0KLAHOMAN
Score Of Little Firms GobbIed
Up in cut-Price War. Charges
Omer Benedict.

The plight OF the independent oil
producers OF the country is so serious
that literally scores Of them are being
"gobbled up" by the great. powerful
oil interests, II was said here today
In a statement issued by Omer X.
Benedict, of Tulsa, Okla. representing
the Mid Continent Oil and Gas Asso-
citation, whose membership comprises
most OF the producers OF Oklahoma.
Texas, Kansas. Louisiana, Arkansas,
and other Western States.
THE market value OF crude oil pro-
duced in the United States" he said,
has shrunk since the latter part OF
January over $2.60o.Oo0 a day: an an
nual loss to producers OF approx
mately 81, ,000. 900 900, which Is reflect
ed In all dependent lines OF business
and will probably cause a decline in
Federal taxes for 1921 OF several hun
dred millions Of dollars. This shrink
age Is the result or cuts in the price
Of crude oil, which have not, II will
be noticed, been accompanied by cor
responding cuts In the price OF gaso-
line.
Concerns Of great capital are stor-
ing millions OF barrels of domestic
petroleum. which has been displaced
in the market by cheap. imported oils
and during the period OF demoraliza-
tion they will purchase for a fraction
Of their real worth many OF the inde-
pendent producing properties OF the
United States because OF the financial
necessities OF their present owners In
the end they will be more securely
than ever entrcnched in the domina-
ting control of the entire oil indus
try"
Benedict said tho import duty OF 35
cents on crude oil and 20 cents on
fuel oil. provided in the new tariff
bill. is inadequate, but a step in the
right direction"

Says a Chafing Dish Is Nothing But Frying
Pan With improvements
BY JOHN p. MEDBURY.

There 10 social rivalry among
household utensils the same as there
Is between human beings. A chatting
dish feels very superior, but in re-
ality it's nothing but q frying pan
with improvements.
A chafing dish Is nothing but .
skillet which has worked its way
from the kitchen to the living
room.
Some Of the kitchen utensils may
have the swelled head during tho
day, but they're all equal when they
get in the dishpan.
A percolator isn't anything but Q
coffee pot with extra parts.
It was planted In the gas house
district, but blo0med on Fifth Ave-
nue..
It sings the same as an ordinary
coffee pot, but it has an accent.
~ uuStpdIi bcco UOIn biucs VI Iuo.
It works in the parlor and sleeps
On the back porch
The carpet sweeper Is the same
as the family motor car, only it's
driven in the house over the differ
ent carpets by a lady chauffeur.
The only difference between a kit
chen chair and a parlor chair is
The Washington times., 1921-07-05

that Q policeman sits In one and
banker sits In the other.
An armchair Is called Morris In
an ordinary neighborhood, but when
it moves up on Fifth avenue 1t
changes its name to Maurice.
There's usually q cuckoo clock in
tho hall. A cuckoo is nothing bN
an alarm clock which took singing
lessons.
The cuckoo wakes the family up
and the alarm clock calls the cook.
The family sleeps on the second
floor and the cook sleeps in the attic.
It seems to be that the higher you
sleep the earlier you have to get up.
OF course the nearer the roof you
sleep the longer it takes you to get
downstairs.
Then there are the door mats, one
at the front door and one at the
back. II you're lucky enough to be
the one at the front you'll have mill
ionaires wipe their feet on you,
otherwise you've got to be satisfied
with being walked on by the butcher
and the grocery man.
It is wise for the household uten-
sils not to get stuck up. You may
be a beautiful linen duster today
and q dish rag tomorrow.

MARY MILES M|NTER

Is it cruel to deceive when the de- ception is for a good end2 That question forms the theme of Mary Miles Winters latest screen triumph, Eyes of the Heart" which opens two day stay at Mauks Columbia theater today. The screen play is a picturization of Dana Burnets "Blindness.''
 As the blind girl whose restored sight brings a train of intensely dra- matic revelations, Mary Miles Minter has a role entirely different from anything she has ever done. The struggle through disillusionment to happiness is said to be an especially rare piece of acting.
 Eyes of the Heart" is declared by critics to be better screen play than Anne of Green Gables" or "A Cum l berland Romance It is said to be 1 Miss Winters master screen work. l A Selected comedy. an International 1 News reel, filled with timely world news pictures. and a Literary Digesi 1 Topics, are other program number.

It's a Great Lifeo-strand

It is not often that the making of a picture enhances story which has been found popular prior to it's trans ition to the screen. However. this is
 the case in the making of Mary Roberts Rinehart's story entitled
 .The Empire Builders" into the Gold
 wyn picture renamed It's a Great Life'' Even Mrs. Rinehart, the authoress of the story, is authority for the statement that the picture is even more interesting and entertain
 ing than when 1t appeared in it's original form. This is a great con
 cession on the part of the writer be-
 cause most of them complain bitter lv of the butchery that they claim takes place when their brain children are transferred to the screen. It is a wonderfully done story from theme that meets the understanding of every one who sees 1t and the Gold wyn people have simply out-done ] themselves in the laVishness of the production which serves to bring this splendid effort to the silver sheet l The picture remains at the Strand again today and tonight and will bt replaced tomorrow by one of the truly remarkable society dramas of tht
 past. twelve months when Thomas H Ince offers his personally directed all
