It was written by Samuel Whelpley,

EX-SENATOR THOMAS
CAN GO TO HOLLAND.

DENVER, March 29.-Former sena-
tor Charles 8. Thomas of Colorado is
urged to seek the companionship Of ex-
Kaiser Wilhelm in his village in Hol-
land, in letter addressed to him by
the George B. Steele Post No. n Of
the American Legion Of Denver.
The Coloradoan's fiery denunciation
on the floor of the United States senate
Of the soldiers compensation bill has
aroused members Of the legion to reply
with vitriolic attack on the former
lawmaker and to suggest that his resi-.
dence in this state no longer is desired.
"We suggest, Mr.. Thomas, that in
view Of the opinion which you heve
formed Of American soldiers, and be-
cause Of your apparent inability to
agree with the rest of the world, that
instead Of returning to Colorado, Z
state populated for the most part by
true Americans, it might be better for
you to move your residence TO GER
tain village in Holland, where We are
sure that you would find at least one
man, an alleged boon companion Of

graph of the letter.
The extraordinary philippe is ad-

Of jealousy over the fact that Ruth had
made the discovery.
''That depends upon what you want

of course the latest books are likely to
be the best, for the authors OF today

their command. But if you want his

vigorous expression of the opinion of

of course, it does not undertake to give

here is the place where he wrote about
Immigration. Now, remember, this was
written before 1903, for the book was
printed that year. When this book was
written there were only about 100000

however, that the future historian will
be compelled to say that our govern

through excess of benevolence and ur-
banity. Though many worthy
characters are found in so great an
emigration as has been to this country,
yet, for the most part, they are poor,

Chicago Tribune to the effect that It Is
fortunate for you, for the state which
you were supposed to represent, and
for the nation which you had sworn to

your statement also condemns yourself,
as by accepting senator's salary and

by measuring your services in terms OF

equally sordid and mercenary, the only
difference being that the soldier prob

or imprudences. Every foreign
er, soon after his arrival in this cosn-
try, by a course neither circuitous, ex-
pensive nor long, becomes . citizen in
the fullest sense. He immediately be-
comes politicians profound in the
science Of governments able to vet
all things right. He declaims
against oppression, flames with zeal for
liberty, and seldom fails to be at The
head or tail of innovation or reform,
perhaps of insurrection.
"Now, children, those things written
in 1908 might very truthfully have been
written in 1918. There are now, as
there were then, a lot Of good charac-
tiers among the immigrants. Yon know
Mr.. Nelson, the man whose farm we
visited out south of town last Sunday
there couldn It be a better citizen. Then
there is the Schultz family-one Of
them owns the dairy farm where we
saw the fine Holstein cattle, and anoth-
er of the family is president of the
bank on Main street. Such people az
they are, and people like Mr.. Reilly,
who was chief of police when your
father was mayor, are good sort Of
people to have come to this country.
But it is just as our old hist orian
Whelpley said more than a hundred
years ago, there are lot of foreigners
who never enjoyed liberty or good gov
ernment or prosperity in their native
lands, but who want to reform and run
this government before they have
learned to speak our language.
''That kind of people organize poll
teal societies composed chiefly of for
eigners and try to create dissatisfac-
tion and discomfort. One of them came
here and tried to overturn our govern
ment but finally went to Russia and
helped organize the bolshevik govern
ment there. I'm glad he went. Emma
Goldman was another of the same kind
and our government sent her back to
Russia, but she soon admitted that the
United States is better place to live,
even if she did curse the country all
the time she was here.
"Now, here is what Whelpley said in
this old history: No person should
hereafter become a citizen but by being
born within the United States. Let
foreigners find in this country an asy-
lum of rest-an escape from oppression.
Here let them buy and build and plant
let them spread and flourish, pursu-
ing interest and happiness in every
mode of life which enterprise can sug-
gest or reason justify, and let them be
cxonerated from the tolls of govern
ment. If we make good laws, they will
share the benefit-if bad ones, the blame
will not be theirs. Let their children
born among us become citizens by
hirthright.'
81 hardly think l would go as far
as Whelpley advised, but he was nearer
right than our present system. A for
cigner should at least be here long
enough to learn our language and Gus
toms before becoming citizen, and If
ne does not care enough to learn our
language within reasonable time, he
should he sent back home. The best
remedy, however, is to make the laws
strict enough SO that the trouble max
ers will never get into this country.

teresting things in that old history,
