TRUE AMERICANIsa.

The methods hitherto adopted to Sc
cure the Americanization of inmi-
grants have resulted, for the most
part, in the acceptation OF American
citizenship either for personal or OPP
portunist reasons. This fact is not
very consoling because it is something
entirely different from loyalty to the
adopted country, and in the course of
time 1t may produce some unpleasant
surprises. The first step towards
Americanization is the fraternizing
of the immigrant masses with the ma
tive element. Upon that depends al
most entirely the arduous task of
bringing ennigrants from every coun.
try In the world into the great Ameri-
can family.
Coercive laws may force the innnli-
grant into submission and even conn
pei him to become naturaiized. but
moral contacts, the esteem and con-
sideration which may be shown 10
him. the corporation which may be
asked OF him-these will make the inn
migrant feel that his moral being In
not ignored. that an attempt Is being
made to make him an active member
of great family. and this vein In
duce him loyalty and enthuslasticaliv
to accept American citizenship. 1t is
therefore imperative TO think ffrst of
all OF the heart and mind of tho
immigrants. II one of tho most COM

Theatrical Manager Blames High Higher Star Saare

London, June 14--British theatrical
producers and managers are expori-
encing the worst slurnp IN years. With
but two exceptions, every theatre in
London is losing money. anything
from ave thpuaand dollars upwards,
weekly. Six plays were taken off this
week provisional notices are out for
withdrawal of others. From the thea
tres throughout the provinces comes
the same story; theatres shutting
down everywhere.
London is full of out OF work actors
and actresses. Thousands Of them are
without employment; the majority
have no prospect 1T all OF getting any.
Many actresses are taking jobs in big
stores and restaurants as saiesladies
and mattresses; others have bado q
long farewell 10 the glitter Of the stage
and are crowding the business scad-
enies, learning how TO be typists in
the city Offices az fifteen to twenty

theatre rents and inflated salaries paid

SHOULD HEED WARNING.

The prediction made by James W
Godd, who has Just resigned as chair
man of the House committee on appro-
priations. that unless the expenditures
of the government are materially re-
duced, and the burden of taxation sub
stantially lightened, the Republican
party will be swept out of power at
the first opportunity that offers. is a
warning that Republican leadership
at Washington and elsewhere will do
well 10 heed.
Beyond a doubt the American people
have been greatly disappointed by the
up-to-date sum OF accomplishment in
the directions indicated. They were
told during the Presidential campaign
that just as soon as possible after the
Republican party had been restored
60 a pienary control OF the political
situation the tax schedules would be
revised downward. and that the many
oppressive, veaatious and confiscatory
features would be eliminated. That
unquesrionably was the chief issue
upon which the election turned, and
by which the unprecedented Republi-
can majoritiea we're determined.

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.

Wilmingtonians who patronize ths
some motormen do not stop theil
cars TO pick up or discharge passen-
gers, but expect the latter to aglely
leap on and Off while the vehicle IL In
motion. This is especially done in
the residential sections.
Many men can perform that stunt
but IL is asking too much of women
and children to become acrobats i'm
order To accommodate motormen who
are too lazy to properly apply the
brakes. 1t Is especially dangerous for
women with babies In arms TO attempt,
or for old men and women.
We do not live as fast In Whining
ton as people do in Philadelphia. New
York. st. Louis or Chicago: yet In those
cities the surface cars are brought 20 a
fun stop before passengers are per-
mitted TO alight from or enter the car.
The managers OF these other companies
have learned that such precautions
prevent many accidents. why this
awful haste in wilmington?
In all fairness it must be said that
most motormen bring their cars 10 a
full stop. But a few seem to believe
that it is sufficient, il they merely
slow down their cars so that man
may leap from the platform to the
roadway. and vice versa.
Now what have the officials OF the
street railway to say regarding this
situation? We harbor the belief that
motormen are required to make fun
stops in picking up or discharging
passengers. We believe that these
officials wish TO render the best SER
vice possible in return for that eight
cent fare. win they condescend To
investigate this matter. especially for
the benefit Of old women, ana women

Immediately through the mails
speed ten or fifteen thousand letters
containing tickets of admittance To a
grand concert. bal masque, and the

say, ten dollars each. A letter accom-
panying them states Please send

Thus, If you do not feel that the
Fiji islanders should have overooats
the blame is placed on you if you fail
TO return those tickets, or if they are
lost In the mails. or if the recording

turned them. In more brutal words

present rate is S2.51. it's altitude hav-
ing been necessitated by the unset
tied conditions of recent years. But,
the opportunity being favorable. the
commissioners promptly extended re-
lief. This is how the affairs of the
people are conducted not only in Kent
county, Md, but generally throughout
the almost solidly Democratic East
ern Shore. and have been FOR many
years. The people of Delaware should
note this startling contrast and resolve
to follow the good example of their
taxpaying brethren and sisters Of
