KIWANIS CLUB
HEARS ADDRESS

At the regular luncheon Of the
members of the Kiwanis club at the
Warren on Wednesday, M. r. Olson,
Madison, spoke on the subject OF
"Americanism.'
He said the beginning of this ma
ton was the result of those in other
lands who desired freedom of speech
and freedom of worship and thereof
organized this government on
democratic basis
The early immigration to this coun
try contributed to this spirit, being
mainly from the north of Europe to
the rural districts and easily assimi-
lated.
The later immigrants, often impell-
ed by the love of high wages on the
basis Of their low standard Of living,
and propogandized by the industrial
interests and steamship companies,
have gravitated toward the cities,
causing congestion, low standards of
living, undertaking of American
workmen, and through ignorance and
lack of interest in our democratic
form of government, have contributed
to the political corruption of our land,
especially in our great cosmopolitan
cities.
Americanism of today, in my Judge
ment, said Mr.. Olson, is the spirit
which says: we must retain the Amer
lean ideals Of yesterday and not al
low the large influx Of people from
Europe to our country and to sup
plant those in which our country was
born and nurtured.
What It. Should Be
There should be steadfast adher-
ence to the principles of democratic
interdependence, whereby men arise

fee personal gain when that gain is
at the expense Of his fellowman. We
are members one of the other. The
greatest contribution en- individual
can make in his lifetime is that
which will build more strongly tho
social structure Of which he is a part
