The four gypsies who Tuesday rob

released from the Dakota county jail
yesterday upon payment of the $7

action' 'to ' lie superfluous, for they
left town hastily. .. .Ice cutting at

Tin: uniimtATiox imuhu.iim
By Rev C. R. Lowe.
A recent hondlino stated thcroworo
ten and a half million aliens in this
country of ours who owed nllegicncc
to n foreign government. Thnt moans
there is ono man in every ten who is
an alien. It means thnt one-tenth of
the population docs not know the
language they livo under nnd that
they do not know tho laws nor tho
customs. It means more, that a great
per cent of them do not want to
know them. It means they want tho
privileges and protection and tho op
portunitles, but that they are not
willing to give anything back in tho
support of tho government under
which they receivo a decent wage,
that fills their stomachs and clothes
their back.
Wo have long called ourselves tho
melting pot of tho world. Every
thing has been dumped here; all have
found n refuge and n place to grow.
More have been dumped hero than
we have been able to assimilate.
Ten nnd n half million pooplo have
failed to rrnsp the spirit of Ameri
ca; th :'ivo been untouched, yet
they 1.m n our midst. Sometimes
a man oi.t a thing that is hard to
digest. Some things even America
cannot do, for instance to American
ize tho foreigner as fnst as ho enn
come to our shores. Immigration
hns got fnr abend of tho molting pot.
And now what do wo find as tho re
sult? Tho war has brought a lot of
things to light thnt wore hitherto
hidden, mnde us tnko notico of n lot
of things wo would not noto before.
Wo hnve nwoko to the fact that in
romo respects these people hnve been
a danger to us. Wo have found a
whole system of German propaganda
under hcadwoy throughout tho coun
try. Wo have found it growing un
der American citizenship, but lot
that pass, it is more or .less dead
since wo were aroused to the war.
Wo find also that tho cast side of
New York City, for instnnce, is full
of Russians of pronounced bolshevlc
tendencies, and their propagandas i3
growing, wo find fruitage of tho
same thing in tho Senttlo strike,
whore it was attempted to found
Soiviot government. Tho daily pa
pers bring us tho news that it ic tho
alien who is tho stirrer-up of tho la
bor difficulties,'' and tho alien popula
tion that is tho most fertile ground
for such idoas to grow on.
To the man who loves his country
and who would havo her to prosper
nnd bo a homo for tho people,.-all
this would arguo that wo havo been
too lenient in the matter of immi
gration. It shows in somo mensuro
at least that it has not boon tho best
of tho people of the foreign nations
that has como to our shores, but in
somo instances tho worst. Tho ag
gressive bad aro just as eager to havo
better opportunities for their badness
ns thc aggressive good for better op
portunities for their good.
If wo havo found wo havo under
taken a big job nnd that it is- work
ing an evil to our nntion, let us
ease up on such freo dumping into
that molting pot. That is tho com
mon sense way of doing. If tho pot
is full, don't put more in. Bottor
take some out. That is what is sug
gested under tho nbovo mentioned
headline, prevail upon your friends
to bo Americans if they want to stay
here, in our land. I know an insti
tution across tho river who had a
man in their omploy in n good posi
tion and satisfactory in ovory re
spect, but ho was an alien. Jtcame
to a place whoro ho had twenty-four
hours to take out papors or his time
card. Thnt i3 the spirit for Ameri
cans. Thnt is whnt makes a country
solid for its people.
If wo find these nro stirring up
strife, wo had better get rid of them.
Sometimes tho doctor jjives his pa
tient an emetic. There nro n lot of
exportees at Ellis island who nro on
tho road to their nativo lnnd be
cause of their attitude toward our in
stitutions. Thnt is tho plnco for
them. If I came into your liouso and
started trouble, r know what I would
get; you woi ' I think I deserved it.

I had ever had.
If I were taking tho broad out of
tho mouths of your children by com
ing in, you would not lot mo como fn.
That is thc iden in shutting thc door
to immigrants for awhilo during tho
reconstruction period. I do not say
that is tho caso in tho Instance of la
bor, but there aro thoso vyho do
maintnin it. Whnt wo all do agrco
on is thnt our country is for Ameri
cans. It is our duty to protect our
own people. ,
And why should wo open tho door
of tho nation to thoso who hnve been
hor enemies? How many times wo
see that somo German officer expects
to como to this country ns soon ns
ho enn get away, or somo man not nn
officer. Cnn he expect us to quietly
give him a homo Thoso who lived
hero nnd wont bnck to fight for kul
tur, let them stny wliero there L
kultur, they should never have left it.
Lot us tnko un tho immigration
problem nnd denl with it ns is best
for our country Wo linvo no longer
broad ncres to give away. Thoso
coming do not go to tho country
anyway, but settle in tho cities till
the cities look foreign; congregated
in tho industrial centers in settle
ments nnd so precludo tho Ameri
canization process, Theso settle
ments ought to bo dispersed for tho
good of tho country, thon theso pco-
lio cQiuci oo wornod on, their lor
ejgn langungo could bo broken up,
nnd they would becomo Amorlcnns.
But until then it will bo n hnrd
thing to mnko them Americnns.
Americnn citizenship' ought to monn
Amcrlcnn lnngungo also.
If freedom is nbused, it dies of its
own accord. To secure it, there
would bo no hardship in undergoing
somo sacrifico for n time. Ameri
cans havo their country as n heritage,
their fnthers hnvo bought it with a
price. It is not necessnry thnt wo
give it nwny free to ovory mnn that
asks for it that it bo nbased. Lot it
bo purchased by tho immigrant by
tho denth of his own lnngungo nnd
tho putting nway of his foreign cus
toms. In tnking citizenship he re
n6unces of necessity his old nlleg
icncc, and in doing so it would bo no
harder to renounce thoso things
which hold him to his old allegiance.
As for those who do not want to bo
citizens, wo can afford to bo more
particular, especially under tho pres
ent inoor situation.
