Lakes Shipping Declines
CONGRESSMAN PEAVEY URGES
HIS BILL TO RESTORE COM
MERGE ON GREAT LAKES

Representative Hubert HI. Peavey
has returned to Washington from his
home in Wisconsin where he went to
obtain additional data in support of
his bill to restore general commerce
on the Great Lakes and relieve agri-
cultural depression in the northwest
In this connection he says the ST.
Lawrence to the Sea waterway has
long been used to divert the public's
attention from the subject of the pass
ing of general. commerce on the Great
Lakes.
Il am a firm supporter of the ST.
Lawrence Waterway but a mere cur
sorry glimpse of commerce or harbor
statistics on the Great Lakes will
show the most optimistic supporter
of the ST. Lowrence seaway route
that long before this channel can be
promoted and built, general COM
merce on the Great Lakes will have
deprecated and disappeared from our
several harbors. When that time
comes, there will be neither general
commerce nor harbor facilities with
which to receive or support our for
eign visitors.
This project has been held out to
the people of the Northwest as the
Savior to Be Of that section of Amer.
lea, said Mr.. Peavey. 1.-THE people CT
that section have been made to lose

Foreign Born Citizens
Becoming Americanized
AMERIcANlzATION WORK THAT
is DONE IN OUR EVENING
SCHOOLS

The term Americanization is often
confused with the term naturalization
We have in the United States today
over 14,000,000 foreign-born residents
one-half of these or 100000 have
been naturalized or in other words
have been made citizens; as such
they are entitled to all the rights and
privileges of the native-bOrn citizen.
You may ask whether these 100000
who have been made citizens are
able to perform all of the functions
and duties of a citizen of the United
States? Have they been thoroughly
Americanized? This term is capable
Of many and divers interpretations.
To some it means the same as nat
uralization as stated above; to others
it means saluting the flag and other
outward expressions of loyalty and
patriotism; to still another class it
means forgetting the country left be-
hind and all that it stood for, and
learning to do all the things that we
do in the same way that we do them
talk as we talk, and dress as we
yes as we amuse ourselves, go to
church as we go to church, etc. The
foreigner may have done all ofsthese
things, and yet has he been AmeTi
canized in the true sense of the term
Has he really learned to understand
and appreciate and respect our in
stitutions, our laws and our govern
ment? Has he, sensed our national
ideals, and has there been created
within him desire to attain them?
Does he, love this country and its
traditions? This condition can not be
brought about over night OF the T.,
100000 who have been naturalized
probably large per cent have not
been Americanized to this extent
Perhaps five years is not time enough
in which to work the change, it may
take ten, maybe twenty years. When
we think of the number of foreign
born in our country, and what Amer.
canization really is, we begin to real
ize the size and seriousness of our
task.
The character of the immigrant has
much to do with our problem. If he
has had fair schooling in his own
country, and has been law ;siiisn6s
citizen our problem will not be so
difficult OF the 100000 already in
our country we find large numbers
who should not have been permitted
to enter it. Some of these are ignor
ant and of low degree of intelligence
some are lawless and criminal in
their tendencies, while others are
antagonistic to our institutions and
our government. However under our
new immigration law the number of
immigrants permitted to come into
our country is limited while the char
acter of the immigrant must be of a
higher type than that of the average
that came to us from 1900 to 1920
Also measures have been taken to
see that laws are better enforced
than they formerly were. OF course
wecan not expect the best from any
land; those who have been successful
will not want to leave their native
land. while on the other hand the
poorest and most shiftless class will
not want to come; but there is a
medium class of people who have

Wittenberg High School put up a
scrappy battle Friday evening at the
local gym, but couldn't keep Eagle

ended with Eagle leading at II to TO-
The DOWNSTAIRS came here as a
rather unknown quantity and being a
husky looking quint, enthusiasm ran
high at the outset of the game. But
Eagle soon convinced the crowd that
they had the edge on Wittenberga
beating them two to one in the first
period.
In the second the invaders picked
up bit, and in the third held the
locals to a tie. In the final period
Eagle beat them two to one again
which ended the game at IL to TO-
Wittenberg had lost to Crandon IL to
s the night before, which did not
leave them in the best of shape for
the game with the fast locals.
Considering the two teams (Cran
don and Eagle) results against Wit
tenberg last week, it can be seen that
therein lies the big contest of the
coming -Crandon and
Eagle. Those teams stack up quite
evenly and when they meet again
as they will some time in March, it
is going to be neither teams game

These are points in Henry Ford
statement that interest every Ameri-
can.
Il am willing to cooperate with the
Government in developing Muscle
Shoals into great nitrate plant, max
ing cheap fertilizer for the American
farmers
In my opinion, the Shoals should
be used for the production of nitrate
and fertilizer
Il believe that the Government
could itself keep Muscle Shoals and
run it, not as a power plant but as
nitrate plant, to help the farmers
in peace and safeguard the country
in war The people OF the United
States spent $14O,OOO,OO0 to create a
government nitrate plant, not pow
err house.. We should not lose sighs
of the original and biggest reason
for Muscle Shoals being built
IF the Government keeps Muscle
Shoals and operates the nitrate plant
by the army and navy, shall be glad
to put at their service all that the
Ford company has of knowledge and
experience. Our engineers have been
working for three years on the pro
blem of making cheap nitrogen from
the air for farmers. We believe air
nitrate can be made at price that
will materially reduce the cost of fer
tilizer on the farm.
..The Ford company will turn over
to the Government, without cost, the
results of it's research.
I'VE will lend the men to help
to build up an efficient organization
to run the Shoals. AS a citizens duty
we worked with the army and navy
during the war. We are ready to give
the same cooperation to the Govern
ment in aid of the farmers now
cost free, to the, Government
1T is a mistake to say that the
Government cannot run the nitrate
plant as we'll as any private party
This is the very kind of business the
Government ought to engage in. Elec
tro-chemical methods of air nitrogen
fixation do not require great forces
of employees, 1t is straight job OF
letting the forces of nature work for
YOU The Government has as good
men as there are in this field. We
talked with some of them when we
were figuring on the Shoals.
IF the Government keeps Muscle
Shoals and runs it for the farmers, !
will help, so far as technical help
goes, just as much as l could have
helped if | had taken the property
over"

The question is, "Shan Muscle

developed primarily as nitrogen pro

be given to private monopolists to be

that the traffic will bear?"

plain carelessness and indifference.
Such devastation Of any other ma
tional resource would be looked upon
are strangely apathetic over the de-
struction of their forests. They seem
to accept it as a visitation Of Provi-
dence, when it is nothing Of the kind.
Destruction Of wealth through the
burning of forests runs into amazing
figures. but there is an immeasurably
vaster loss Of wealth through lack of
any consistent forest program. Secre-
tary Jardine estimates that about
10000, 900 acres Of forest land is now
idle which ought to be at work today
growing timber for future genera
tions. Americans, with respect to their
forests. are like the improvident peo-
pie Of old who ate their seed corn and
slaughtered their heifers.
A great deal OF thought is being de-
voted to conservation of our coal and
oil resources. but all that can be hoped
to be accomplished there is economy
in consumption. 1t is not within the
power of man to replenish these reser-
voirs of fuel supplies. Not SO with our
forests. If we are wise we can do
what the little girl was unable to do,
we can eat our forest cake and have
it. too. With an intelligent forest
policy, supported by law and public
opinion, a hundred years from now
the forest resources of the Nation will
be as great as they are today.
And that is the reason for American
Forest week which President Coolidge
has proclaimed. There is not man.
woman or child in America who has
not a stake in the game, and all must
be brought to a realization that each
must do his part in the way of sup
port and encouragement for a ma.
tional forest policy.

Mr.. Dawes Enters the Fray

Vice President Dawes is promptly
going to the people with his fight for
reform in the Senate rules of debate
outlined in his inaugural address. He
will take the war into the enemy's
country, meaning by this that instead
of conducting a contest with the Sen
ate he proposes to induce the constit-
uents of Senators to bring pressure
to bear from back home" on the
Senators themselves in favor of the
reform. He is to build fire in the
Senator's rear.
Persons in the confidence of Vice
President Dawes declare that he is in
deadly earnest in his fight against the
existing rules of the Senate which
permit unlimited talk, to the detri-
ment of the public interest. In his
opening address to the Senate Mr..
Dawes made plain his realization that
he is under no obligation for Office
to the Senate. He was elected by the
people and is not indebted to the Sen
ate in any way for his tenure of office.
Naturally VI very INDEPENDENT Hd'
ture. he is said to be in no mood to
consider anything in this campaign
for reform but his stewardship TO the
voters at large.
His first address on the subject will
be delivered at the annual luncheon of
the Associated Press of New York,
April 81. Later he will speak in Ohio
and then in Indiana. Assured of the
widest publicity for his campaign, he
will urge his proposed reforms in
quarters where they will attract the
widest public attention. 1t is his ex-
pectation to be able to create vol
ume of public sentiment in favor of
his proposed change in the Senate
rules which may be reflected in the
attitude of Senator'S when they come
back with the new Congress and face
the duty of revising the ancient rules
of the upper chamber.
Vice President Dawes does not look
upon the issue of rules reform as par
tisan. He will, therefore, not make
his intended speeches before parti-
san political gatherings, but to non
partisan meetings. The Associated
Press audience, of course, will be non
political in the widest sense.
That Mr.. Dawes fight for reform
will bring discussion and expressions
of varied tenor goes without saying.
The extent of limitation of senatorial
debate is a two-sided question and as
old as the Senate itself. Between
1906, when the present rules were
adopted, and 1917, when the cloture
rule was added, 81 different resolu-
tions were introduced in the Senate
to bring it into effect. Yet the power
exerted by the individual Senator
through the right to talk legislation
to death has proven so precious TO
the senatorial mind that for Ill years
practically nothing was done to cur
tail it. And when, under President
Wilson, a cloture rule was finally
adopted, it was only in such restricted
form as to have created an apprecia-
tion Of the need for additional reform.
1t is this desire on the part of an
unknown portion of the public which
Vice President Dawes has rendered
articulate and virile-the desire to
secure the right of a responsible ma
jority to obtain a decision on its legis-
lative proposals. 1t is now his mis-
sion SO to crystallize national opinion
against his proposals.

Walter Camp.

Americans III every walk Of life are
mourning the passing of Walter Camp,
often called the father Of foot ball.
dean of athletic mentors in this coun-
try. who was laid to rest Monday in
New Haven, the place of his birth, his
college career and his lifework, large
ly a labor Of love, in promoting clean
athletics.
AS a fine and appealing type of
modern American manhood his su-
perior would be difficult to find.
Those who played against him dur
ing his college career pride them
selves on the fact as highly as do
those fortunate enough to have been
his teammates. Those who had the
benefit of his skilled coaching and his
understanding advice are scarcely less
proud. Men of more than middle age
today thrill to the achievement of hav-
ing been placed on one of his long
series of all-America foot ball teams
His annual selections were noted with
interest by thousands of persons who
never saw him and never saw one of
the players on his mythical elevens.
AS good a commentary as any on
the esteem in which his powers of
discrimination and fairness of mind
were held comes from a rival univer-
sity, Princeton. Some years ago that
college had number OF players of all
American caliber. Opinions differed so
sharply as to just how many. that
bets were made on the subject. Sew.
eral well qualified experts were then
publishing these elect elevens When
the results were made known all the
others gave Princeton more places
than did Camp. But the bets were
cheerfully paid according to the
dictum of the man from New Haven.
Although Yale University was his
alma mater. and throughout his life.
time received the special benefit Of his
fine mind and fine body, he neverthe-
less belongs TO all American colleges
first and to Yale second.
