SVFelKn born, said Justlco uiarcnco in. uoou-
,wln, of the Illinois Appellato Court, in a
speech this afternoon, in nearly every
great ccntro there Is a German city, a
Polish city, a Bohemian city nnd a com
munity of Itusslan Jews, keeping to their
own language, their own traditions and
holding themselves apart from the rest
of the community.
"This condition Is the fault of tho na
tive born nnd of tho United States Gov-
eminent, and Is In no way the fault of
the alien hlmBelf. For nearly a hundred
nd twenty-five years the Government
adhered to n policy of absolutely Ignor
ing tho existence of the Immigrant after
he landed, and tho attitude of the native
born citizen has been cold agd repellent.
The Government has got to send the
alien to school. This matter of educa
. tlon Is almost exclusively a matter of
evening schools.
' "What wo need Is to have the teaching
forces of the country co-ordlnnted under
the United States Government for the
purpose of Americanizing the alien born.
NO HYPHENATES SAYS McGOWN.,
Chester McGown. president of the
American International College at Sprlng
' field, Mass., speaking ntthe morning ses
sion, said that of his 132 enrolled stu
dents 25 nationalities nre represented.
"In fact," he said, those who enter this
Institution catch the spirit of tho great
Brother of Man and learn what it means
to be a true American, even though he be
of foreign birth.
"No hyphenated Americans at the
American International College."
Etndlay Gullck, of the Federated Coun
cil of Churches of Christ, advocated es
tablishing a system of registration for
Immigrants. n.
"This system," ho said, "should have a
fee, lowered In proportion as aliens pass
examination. This woulil not bo com
pulsory education, but economic pressure.
A great majority woulh pass the exam
ination with rapidity because the giving
Of naturalization would depend on tho
, rasalng of examinations,"
Mr. Gullck also advocated the "open
door" on all coasts, making no restriction
-against either the Chinese or Japanese.
Dr. Jane E. Itobbins, of the Jacob nils
rHelghborhood Settlement, New York, said
the danger of "anarchy" lies not In the
, lover places but from the "rich don't-
-io cioss.
"If you are rich and don't care," she
aid, "I define you as an anarchist,

ROOSEVELT FLAYS WILSON THEORIES.
AND PLEADS FOR NATIONAL HONOR
The present Administration hits behaved, as rcpards Mexico, in a
icajf to make every decent American hann his head.
Individuals and nations who preach the doctrine of milk and wntcr
invariably hate in them n softness of fibre whicli means (hat they fear to
antaponie those who preach and practice the doctrine of blood nnd iron.
The United Slates has not a friend in the world.
This country's conduct lins secured for it the "contempt of every one
of the Rreat chilized nations of mankind.
"Stand bu the President" )cs, while the President is right: and
stand apainst him when he is wronu,
tf, after firlnjj on Sumter. Lincoln, immediately, in a speech, had de
clared that the friends of the Union might be "too proud to fifiht," nnd had
spent the nct four months in exchanging "firm" diplomatic notes with
Jefferson I)ais, he would hae recehed the enthusiastic support of the
nrdent adherents of peace and we would now have no country.
Mr. U'tfaoii finally has adopted m; principle about preparedness,
although he has sought to apply it in a half'hcnrtcd and inefficient
manner.
A year nftcr I denounced ncacc-at-any-prlce, Mr. Wilson followed suit,
quoting the verses from Ezchfel, which for months I had been quoting.
A ucar after I had attacked hyphenated Americanism Mr. Wilson
followed suit at least before the Colonial Dames.
No man has n right to live who tins not in his soul the power to die
nobly for n great cause.
t Shame on the creatures who would teach our people that it is any
tnina' but base to be unready and unable to defend right, even at need
of the Btcmcst of all tests, the test of righteous war, war waged by a
high-couraged people with souls attuned to the demands of a lofty ideal.

Joseph P. Gaffney, chairman of the

duced a resolution for the appointment
of a committee of five to investigate the
equity of existing meter rates and charges
for water.
'Ihe resolution recites the fact that of
ficial reports have been made to the ef
fect that the present charge of 80 cents
per 10CO cubic feet, or approximately t
cents per thousand gallons, is too low
and under the cast of production, and
that, as the number of meters in service
Is constantly increasing, the loss to the

Chairman Gaffney, in presenting the
resolution, which was adopted by both

he would retain her ns housekeeper. She
was writing letters to friends In Glen
