CITIZENSHIP STANDARD =:
IS CUT, EXAMINER SAYS
Call. \. Americanization Craze
Responsible for Lower
" Standard for Aliens
tBy United Press)

Hartford, Conn, May ,29-"The
Authorization craze is RESPONSE
BILE for the lower standard in the
education of aliens presenting them
selves for Naturalization"
This statement was made by Allan
F. Church, of Boston, who is chief
examiner of immigration for the Inn
migration Department of the United
States, during a naturalization ses-
sion of the United States District
Court here.
"The rush for citizenship started
with the war;" Examiner Church
said, "At that time there was a
trend towards the Americanization Of
all foreigners and Americanization
movement was extended to the fac
tories, with the result that there
has been a heavy increase in nat
uralization. work since the war, at
great loss of time to the courts
and the examiners"
Church stated that before the war,
when an alien, of his own accord,
wanted to become a citizen, he would
study up the principles of American
government and when he presented
himself for examination he invaribly
was able to pass the required tests.
Under the present system, the
alien is urged to become citizen
by manufacturers and employers of
labor. The employees being urged,
also get the notion that unless they
become citizens they will lose their
jobs. ...
"The result is that aliens are fock-
ing to the courts to be naturalized
under the squirting on of their en-
ployers," Church said. Many Of
them can neither read nor write,
but are drilled in few questions
that may be asked.
= "This cannot but lower the STAN
dard of citizenship but there appears
to be little of actual study on the
part of the applicants that was so
noticeable before the war"

HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
GIVEN fine ADDRESS
DR.. Zentz Gives Baccalaureate
Address at Union Service
at Methodist Church

Graduates -of the Pemidji high
school, as we'll as all others who
attended the union service at the
Methodist church Sunday evening,
were given an. exceptionally able
address by DR.. G. H. Zentz, who
had been chosen to deliver the bac-
ca1aureate sermon. DR.. Zentz used
for his theme "Revelation and Truth"
and the text was John 17:17.
Rev. l.. P. Warford, pastor of the
Presbyterian church offered prayer.
Rev. r. B. Nordale of the Bethel
Lutheran church, officiated at the
reading of the scripture. Rev. Geo.
rye Kehoe, pastor Of the first Baptist
church, pronounced the benediction.
The musical program included the
anthem "Send Out Thy Light" by
the choir, and number by the Meth
odists Mems chorus, "The Angels
Song.
The main thoughts expressed by
DR.. Zentz in the baccalaureate adj
dress were as follows:
acknowledge of Revelation is alb
solutely necessary to liberal and
polite education. The writings Of
Shakespeare, Browning and other
great writers cannot be understood
without knowledge Of revelation.
Raphael, Dore, Ruebens and other art
lists take their masterpieces from the
biblical history; and if you wish to
interpret the thought Of their great
productions you must have knowledge
of revelation; This is likewise true
of the great musical productions as,
for instance, the Orator1o Elijah,
and the Oratoria Messiah.
"This from a standpoint Of cul-
ture alone, a study Of revelation is
of great Importance, but its greatest
Importance lies in another direction,
1t is truth, the truth concerning
God and man.
1--WE must also recognize that the
Old Testament is not text book
on science, geology or anything else.
Gods purpose in history has been
to make Himself known and not to
make men expert in science and
history. All that We can hold the
writer's of the Old Testament to is
that they adhere to the facts OF
history or science at the time it was
written. Revelation had to be made
through contemporaneous modes of
thought.
"The implications Of the truth
fulness of it's record are, first that
it will abide, and we need not fear
the researches of modern scholarship.
Tom Paine, dying, said II see the
twilight of Christianity TWAS in
deed the twilight, but that of the
morning. When Tom Paine died the
Bible was written in thirty-eight
languages; today ii is written in
over five hundred different lam
guagesa
"The second implication is that
we should obey the truth. This
revelation teaches us that righteous
ness exalts a nation, but sin is
reproach to any people. Your house
will stand the test Of time if it
Is built on the solid rock of truth.
but build It upon the shifting sands

BY Herbert w. Walker

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington May 29,-America
tomorrow will pay honor and tribute
to Abraham Lincoln.
Towering above the winding waters
of the historic Potomac, the $3,OOO,-
600 Lincoln Memorial. glistening in
immaculate wilderness against the
bright green sweep of upper Potomac
Park, is to be formally dedicated by
America. through President Hard
ing, to the memory of the "Savior of
the Nation"
Thousands are expected to gather
on this Memorial Day to attend
the dedication services. And just
across the river in Arlington ceme-
terry thousands, more will lay
wreaths on the graves of those who
fought with Lincoln to save the ma
ton, and on the graves of those who,
since the Cival War Presidents time,
have laid down their lives to main
tain ideals of American liberty. Off
Gals fittingly chose this Memorial
Day on which to perpetuate in ever
lasting white marble the name of
Lincoln.
President Harding will give the
principal dedication address. With
! the President will be host of dis
tinguishcd personages Of the country
including Americas World War Pres
ident, Woodrow Wilson, William
Howard Taft, chief justice of the

The Lincoln Memorial is part of

conceived more than century ago,
at one end of which is the Capitol.
monument 10 the government; to
the west, the inspiring tower to
George Washington; and still further
west, along the Potomac, the memoir
ial to Lincoln.
The memorial is classic in it's sheer
simplicity. Its isolation accentuated
on an elevated mound as feet above
the river, adds prominence and dig
nifty, typical the outstanding posi-
ton occupied by Lincoln in Ameri-
can life.
1t is composed of four distinct
fcaturcs-a statue of Lincoln, a me-
mortal of his Gettysburg address, a
memorial Of his second Second In
augural Address, and symbol of
the union of the United States.
Each feature is so related, by design
and position, that unity and simpli-
city are maintained throughout the
monument.
Lincoln's statue is exactly in the
center of the Memorial, unobscured
by any object nearby. Two smaller

BACCALAUREATE SERVICE
FOR COLLEGE GRADUATES
Rev. Warford Addresses State
Teachers College Students
Sunday Afternoon

The baccalaureate service at the
State Teachers college assembly
room Sunday afternoon was we'll at
tended. Two pleasing selections by
the college glee club, of which Mrs.
A. J. Macmillan is instructor and
Miss Ragnhild Moe accompanist, pre-
coded the address by Rev. Lester P.
Warford. Invocation was given by
DR.. Zentz. Following are the main
thoughts advanced by Rev. Warford :
f"This has been the song Of Gods
servants in every age. 1t is song
of triumph, and is the note that
every life should seek. If you were
to sell the names Of Gods disciples
and followers you would find them
answering TO the meaning Of this
verse. Matthew was led into large
place when he left the toll booth to
follow Jesus. Peter had never seen
anything larger than the sea of Cali
lee until Jesus made him fisher OF
men. Paul was a mere heresy hunt
er until Christ appeared to him and
filled his heart with passion for
preaching the gospel of the cross.
Surely it is evident that obedience
to God never contracts life.
ut is to be served that We are
inclined to make light of the little
things of life; to scorn the common
place, and thus to outgrow humility.
God never meant it so to be. Moses
reverenced the burning bush. Jere-
miah reverenced the almond tree
which grew in the waste place. Will
liam Wordsworth reverenced the
simplest flower, and honored the
humblest walk of life. So God would
have US to wrap our reverence about
the simplest gifts that he has bless
ed US with, so that we can climb by
the right use of our gifts to higher
ground.
ut is to be observed further that
there is a tendency toward self-suf-
ficiency in the life of today; which
exalts the self to the exclusion OF
God. To be independent Of God is
to be fool-hardy. When we travel
we should travel to reach the goal.
Much of life is travelled aimlessly.
"There arc in the text two per-
sons mentioned, God and Me. He
brought me forth into a large place.
It is God that leads me out into the
large place. The very moment we
are cut off from God, that moment
we are helpless. TO lose the con-
nection with God is to lose the large
place of His promise.
'It would be we'll for us to define
the large place. 1t is not physical
place; for it is right that makes
might.
ut is not an intellectual place;
for the mind cannot find it's way
alone without God. 1t is not
numerical place, for, as George Gis-
sing says, 1T is the few that have
always kept the world alive II is,
however, a spiritual place, for, as the
German philosopher Lotzc said years
ago, THE only real power in the
world is the spiritual power
$50, as you live, aim for the large
place of Gods promise; and when
YOU come to the stilc which spells
difficulty, remember that God makes
possible the stepping stones on which
you can pass over. He will bring
you forth into large place.
The closing number, a vocal solo,
"Just for Today" by Miss Myrtle
Wickham,. with Miss Moe as accom-
PIANIST, was very we'll given.

A GAME ACTRESS.

"One Of the gamest actresses /

turn of the company from six
weeks sojourn in Wyoming, where
the exteriors for "The Cowboy and
the Lady" in which Miss Minter Is
co-featured with Tom Moore, were
