ALIEN EXCLUSION URGED

William Wiesman, member of the Ari-
zona state legislature, is, we assume, a
full-blooded Indian, member of tribe
which can trace its history back to anti
guilty. The assumption is based on the
gentleman's name and on resolution
which he introduced into the legislature
this week
The resolution would memorialize con-
gress to deport Immediately, all aliens in
the country
Indeed it is pity that the move which
Mr.. Wiesman suggests was not taken
when the nation was being organized back
in 1776. Had this been done it would
have excluded such undesirableS as Alex
ander Hamilton from citizenship. 1t also
would have eliminated Button Gwinnett,
Francis Lewis, Robert Morris, James
Smith, George Taylor, Matthew Thorn
ton, James Wilson and John Wither-
spoon, eight rascals who signed the Dec
laration of Independence, as well as CAST
mir Pulaski, Tadeusz Kosciusko, Freder-
ick William Augustus Won Steuben and
Marie Jean Paul Roch Yves Gilbert Mo-
tier, otherwise known as Lafayette.
The new nation not having recognized
its mistake at that time might have
learned by experience. 1t might with
profit to itself, have adopted such an eX-
clusion act some years ago, to take IN, for
instance, the father of Colonel Charles A.
Lindhergh, Isador and Jacob Straus, ia
cob Riis, Edward Box and DR.. Hugo
Steinmetz.
Coming down nearer our own time, we
could have, if we only thought of it, put
up the bars against George Arliss, Mary
Pickford, Irving Berlin, Al Jolson, An
thony Fokker, the airplane manufac-
turer, Bernt Balchen and scores of 9TH
ers. Getting closer to home we could
have excluded the present congressman
from our own twentieth California dis
trict, a former mayor of El Centre and
several of this city's leading businessmen.
We intimated Mr.. Wiesman is an In
dian. We meant of some such tribe as

LION :
GALA OPENING
HERE TONIGHT

A topnotch floor show, excellent
food and drinks, splendid music,
good dancing and beautiful decora-
tions await the large crowd which
is expected tonight to attend the
gala opening of the new Golden
Lion Cafe in the Elks building on
Main street. which has been COM
pletely renovated and enlarged at
an expenditure of $1,000.
Ed Porter, who has managed the
Golden Lion since its opening over
year ago, has shown his faith in
the future of Ell Centre and I'M
perial Valley, as well as his belief
that the people of this city and
adjacent community will appre-
ciate the best in food and enter
tainment, by a heavy outlay of
money in altering and expanding
the cafe.
A seven course dinner prepared
by Don Brooks, new chef at the
Golden Lion, will be served tonight
in the beautiful La Fiesta" BAN
quet room, which visitors to the
cafe will find one of the most
handsome in Southern California.
Brooks is direct from Lewis and
Wiltshire Broiler in Los Angeles.
AL Richardson, Hollywood's sweet
heart, will be master of ceremonies
for the big floor show and revue,
with group of acts direct from
| the Orpheum circuit and famous
Hollywood night clubs.
| Acts to be shown include Donny
and Lou, adagio, acrobatic and tap
dances; Betty Ann, in songs that
make old men young; La Mark,
comic strip and hi-jinks; Con-
suello. songs and dances of old
Spain; Honey and Mickey, music
and songs of Italy; Rumba Quar-
tet in songs and music that make
the feet skip.
Dancing to the strains of a real
dance band, carnival, favors and a
/ general good time is promised all
who attend the opening Advance
reservations indicate there will be
many who will want to inspect the
valleys newest fun center.
Porter stresses the fact that the
+ Golden Lion will cater to the de-
sires of its patrons If they will
make them known, whether it be
, in food. drink. music or entertain
ment. All help at the Golden Lion
! Is American and the work of re-
novating the cafe, so far as pos
sible has been done through local
firms employing local residents.
This is an Ell Centre institution, .
Porter said land we want the
people of Ell Centro and friends in
other valley cities to enjoy it. We
will do everything possible to
make their visit tonight and all
, other nights enjoyable affairs.

UNCLE wIGGILY's ICE JUMP

One day Uncle Wiggily's lady rab-

IF you haven't anything special
to do today, Wiggy, my dear you
might take a chocolate cake over
to Mrs. Twistytail, the lady pig. :
Il shall be very glad to do that,
Uncle Wiggily said. for 1 think
Mrs. Twistytail very much likes
chocolate cake. But how can 1, take

"Don't worry about that" said

this morning She made a specially
large one for the pig lady who has
been sick"
I'm sorry to hear that Mrs. Twis-
tytail has been i'll" said Uncle
Wiggily. do you think she is well
enough to eat chocolate cake?"
"Oh, yes" answere the rabbit lady.
She is all right now. So take her
the chocolate cake, Wiggy. Perhap
you may have an adventure"
Perhaps" said Mr.. Longears. 1t
was then afternoon so the rabbit
gentleman, taking his pink, twink

on and-Dear me! I've made mis-

basket, Uncle Wiggily started off
over the fields and / through the
woods to the pen house of the lady
pig who was the wife of Mr.. Twis-

When Uncle Wiggily reached the
Duck Pond he saw that it was fro
zen over with ice which sparkled
in the sun. There were no animal
boys and girls on the ice of the
Duck Pond as it was too soft for
skating. The animal children were

the rabbit gentleman. The weather

melting fast. And when the rabbit
was near the middle it cracked
loudly.
Il must hurry across before it

shuffled on, for he had no skates.
When he got to the middle Uncle
Wiggily saw where there was a big
hole or crack in the ice. The crack
was as wide as two automobiles and
the black, cold water showed in the
moonlight.
II wonder if can Jump over that
crack and land safely on the solid
ice beyond it?" thought Uncle Wig

1t is difficult to understand this preiu-
dice against foreigners in nation made
up entirely of foreigners or their de-
scendants.
We will agree most emphatically with
anyone who suggests that criminal aliens
should be deported and deported prompt
ly, But to exclude all of them is some
thing else again. This nation owes every
thing it has to foreigners or aliens as Mr..
Wlesman chooses to call them.
The millions of men and women who
came here from all parts of the world are
what made this country the nation it is
today. They owe no apology to the
United States of America or to anyone
for their residence here, their loyalty or
their worth to their adopted country.
Perhaps it is beyond the ability of
those on an intellectual plane with Mr.
Wiesman to realize that a man or woman
may come here from some other nation
and become as fully American as those
whose people have resided in this country
for generations. If so it merely means
that they Just do not know their own fa-
