GOOD ADVICE
(Springfied Daily NeWs)

(Springfied Daily News)
Aliens who come to the United
States expecting to make this
country their future home, were
advised the other day by justice
of the supreme court Of the state
of New York, to forget their ma
tive political sentiments when
they arrive on American soil.
This is good advice and also time
ly.
One of the prevailing troubles
that our Amerizanization authori-
ties and agencies encounter in
their work of popularizing the de-
mocracy OF the United States Is
that of overcoming prejuuices and
political differences Of opinion
which possess SO many of the for
eign born who come to our shores.
1t ought to be plainly apparent,
for example. to any intelligent
man or woman from another coun-
try that so long as they cling to
native customs and political prin-
ciples. they cannot take a firm
grasp upon American ideals.
In short one cannot come from
Poland or Germany or Italy or
any other European country and
divide his affection for the new
country with devotion to the old.
There has been entirely too
much of this sort of thing prac-
ticed among the foreign-born in
America. The result has been
that we have branches here of the
Fascist, the Bolsheviki and other
alien political principles. and in
terracial controversies break out
ever so often.
Somewhere it was related the
other day that when Locatelli, the
Italian aviator who lost his plane
while accompanying the American
filters, landed in Boston, a division
of opinion existed between his
former fellow countrymen as to
just how far they should 60 in
honoring him. Some claimed he
was a follower Of Mussolini and
enemies of the Italian dictator re-
fused to engage in the welcome.
This sort of thing greatly re-
tards the growth of Americanism
Of an alien-born resident here and
AWAY it is unpopular among ma
tive Americans to observe such
movements fostered in our cities.
All Of which we should think the
well-meaning foreigner would see
and appreciate.

drawer some memento of your grief.
Poor little, gay little Marquise! You

great penance for your sin.
That one letter which you left to
me who found it in the secret draw

most tragic of paftiifgs, and some

Marquise, and the words that you
wrote: "They tell me am going to
die, and so l am taking back my con-
fidences and laying them one by one
on the fire, for no one, not even
these who love me best, may know,
as these yellowing sheets Of paper
might tell, that the gay little Mar
, quise was beloved by king"
They had not known your joy,
Little Marquise! They must not
know your sorrow. You had to bear
it alone. Under this guise, nothing
is more tragic than Death, when he

In that great moment after my

in his arms, and l know there was

thought of living my life without
my husband, of not being able if
should be left as is my mother, to
say: Tonight, let me have him all
to myself" had completely gone
out of my mind. Consequently, when
my thoughts went back to you, and
I remembered that you had had no
right to mourn, that you were still
called "the gay little Marquise,"
while all the while your very soul
was clamoring to be called "the sor-
rowful little Marquisc," knew that
my place was with Jack, whatever
the years might bring.
