DR.. CAVANAUGHS AMERICANIZATION
PROGRAM.

The address by Rev. John Cavanaugh, former
president Of Notre Dame. before the Chamber OF
Commerce Monday. has had our advance indorse-
nent almost every time we have had occasion TO
mention Americanization, since It became anything
Of an issue Without pretense Of being forerunner
Of the Cavanaugh Americanization gospel-It rather
makes US feel good to meet with such Endorsement
OF our ideals We cannot Amercanize the
corners to our shores by seggregatng them or BY
holding them to association only with men OF their
own nativity.
The swiftest process to Anericanization is assmI-
Iation and association The so-called foreigner is

only as we have made them American politicians
who have herded them political pawns. those who
have worked them slaves responsible for
practically all the dangers that have accrued from
the Inm gration that so many feel has UPSET In
denstand that substantially the language in which
Father Cavanaugh put it. we have said as much be-
fore. but perhaps. quite boldly. These people
as a rule. want to be Americans, but too often we
Americans stand IN the way.
Speaking on the subject Of immigration. the prob
Tenn OF Arnericanization naturally up for con-
ssderation Few OF US have realized one situation
which he referred: that every European coming to
America, and swearing allegiance to the United
states becomes in the estimation of the home land
across the sea- virtual traitor at least those Eu-
roLean powers do not recognize his remuneration Of
allegiance to them, should he return. This
should be changed The United States should insist
upon treaty agreements by which the immigrant
swearing allegiance this country. and renouncing
allegiance TO any other. can have our protection as
an American citizen wherever he goes,-and it will
be pretty hard TO thoroughly ground him IN his
new-sworn allegiance until that IS done.
We must give the foreigner the best that there is
in us If we would expect his thorough assmilation

ble neighborness OF attitude, a generous welcome,
and the full protection within power. Immigra-

speech deceiving themselves if they think they
Will have any considerable measure of popular sup
port. The chance to play politics seems be too
good TO be resisted and the opportunity is likely
to be improved to the utmost. Sims is a loyal and
patriotic American and who officer in

there is nothing here TO INVESTIGATES" There are

report OF the speech is correct Sec'y DENLY Is

Nothing could better prove the folly OF the speech

sonal abuse OF the individual is another and very
different thing.

BIG ARMY NOT NEEDED.

The senate at the last minute Topped 10000 off
the army strength for the fiscal year beginning
July 1.
If the house concurs the army will have 10000
instead OF the 100000 that the senate has been
insisting The house ought to concur. 1t will
mean the saving of millions Of the taxpayers
money. and army of 10000 seems plenty largo
enough far the immediate future is concerned.
There is room for an honest difference of opin-
ion as to how powerful navy should be, but
the proponents of a big regular army establish
ment have never made good case

she is wrong about of humor. 1t isn't
necessary to explain jokes to Americans.

THE BENIGHTED STATES.

THE BENIGHTIED STATES.
Raymond Hitchcock used to sing
song about a corpse that was all
dressed up and had no place to go.
I would say off-hand that popular
song writer's belong to the same frat
ernity as Hitchcock's deceased
friend. Not that they are dead, but
they are all dressed up and always
wanting to go somewhere, but can't
seem 10 decide where TO go. Che
month they are all yearning TO go to
Indiana The next TO Mississippi. A
few weeks later they want to go TO
Hawaii. and just about the time
you feel like congratulating them up
on their decision and hoping that all
the boats returning from Hawaii will
refuse to carry passengers, you learn
they have changed their minds and
they are now wishing they could go
to Michigan or moaning for Ohio.
You often wonder what makes them
change their minds so frequently.
You wish they would all decide some
morning 10 go to Australia and then
stick to 1t. I believe it would not be
difficult TO launch a national cam
paign for funds-that 1t would be
over-subscribed in "a hours.
Mississippi seems to be the most
popular state and then comes Ala
bama, followed closely by Kentucky.
Occasionally a fes Of these New
York song writer's look at the map
and discover there is a place called
California somewhere OIL the west
coast. They have only the vaguest
idea Of what California may be, but
it occurs to them that California may
be made Of rhyme with Mourn va
or 'Scorn-ya.' That is to say, they
make them rhyme. In fact. there
isn't anything that modern song
writer's cannot make rhyme.
The Other evening we went to a
vaudeville show hunting queer and
curious popular song rhymes. and in
three acts secured the following
choice specimens;
