LINCOLN'S PRINCIPLES CHALLENGED
Is the Foreign born American Citizen Asset to Amer
lea or Liability, or Dangerous to American Insti
tutons, as Heralded by the Self-styled 100 Per
cent Americans?

cent Americans?
Let us anayze the spirit of 1776 the spirit of 1861
that has prevailed in the waning year of 1922 American
Democracy has touch of disease that has been the
scoge of Europe for centuries As review the year
gone by we have come to the conclusion that there is
something somewhere fundamentally wrong among the
masses, with the responsibility resting but few.
There is rampant epidemic prevailing throughout this
great nation and the element breeding this scorge that
eating the vtals of America is trying to entirely os
cizc the foreign-born American citizen.
Let us examine the merits of the case it presents
itself Every time the foregnborn American received in
dollar he has given in return double
the amountwo dollars. His balance sheet, therefore,
shows in his favor. There is certain element today
|propoundng propaganda that aliens wanted
in America and the claim set up that they becoming
La menace to institutions industries and social life
1t indeed singular that the element shall
prevail today while it didn't exist one hundred years
Iago when the steady flow Of immigration poured in from
the dark oppressed countries. These immigrants were
responsible for the upbung Of America which is today
The foremost industrial nation in the world
Are the good right thinking Americans going to stand
on the sidelne and look what is happening in this
country they going to adopt the principle
and spirit that prevailed in 1776 and 1861? Is mankind
today made up of different type or the Creator differ
ent who brought this earth to give him chance
to make living?

look upon conditions prevailing in this great country he
would hasten back from whence he and turn his face
from the country he loved and saved There is something
for every good, aw-abding American citizen to think
about Stop and consider the dangers facing.
There certain organizations working today in Amer
lean political life under coverdupcaes of the "Back
4O0 that prevailed in Russia, and the Malta of Italy
and all other mscrupulous organizations that have
worked at all times in the dark We readily see it's
consequences Look at Europe, twelve millions of human
souls extenninated and every nation the European
continent bankrupt. Why? The is that secret
diplomacy has prevailed and failed for which humankind
today in Europe pays the penalty DO want the same
conditions in America?
The founders of this nation specifically prescribed in
the Constitution that the affairs of the nation must be
transacted openly and above board and secret dpo
macy is countenanced will it be tolerated Those
principles inaugurated by the brave who founded
nation have proven to be the greatest protective
written for mankind the world None improve
them--only can they pattern after them.
| Do want today to abandon these principles and
tolerate the socaed self professed 400 Percent Amer
lean organization working under cover, will you
rather tolerate Democracy it's business and governmental
affairs transacted in the open light and subject to open
criticism? For open criticism is legitimate and beneficial
from beginning to end. @,.--..
We believe that the three percent law ought to be
repealed and system brought about mutually help
full to America and Europe; recognizing the fact that
economic conditions in America in the last three years
were such that it proved advisable to have limitation
