women, obtained it tho Bellovuc-Strnt-forl
today Kt tho Americanization confer
ence, are an Indication of tho feeling
throughout the United States concerning
the- next presidential election, American
politics Is In n chaotic state.
No two of tho bis men of the nation
gathered hero have the same opinion, ex
cept that all agroo thnt JUstico Charles
E. Hughes has a wonderful chance of
being President, It he will only consent
to run.
Abraham Dowers, a dolegnto represent
ing the City Club- and thb Y. M. C. A.
of Chicago, brought forth tho only hint
that "William Howard Taft has presiden
tial aspirations again.
"Taft, Mhlhk, Is the most rcccptlvo man
In tho country," said Mr, Bowers. "Ho Is.
I think, llkelv to bo a successful dark

this part or the country havo llttlo Idea
how Taft has been kept before tho pcoplo
of tho West. He, I think, has been doing
mora In tho West to kcep(htmselt In tho
public eye than has Itoosevelt.
"Although 1 voted for' Wilson nt tho
last election, my wlfo and I-for you know
the women vote In my State havo tnlked.

Wilson cannot have our vote this time.
We, Ilka thousands of others, do not like
his Lualtanln and the Ancona policies.
Wo wero thinking of voting for him until
then.-
"In tho West there Is feeling for
Hughes or Jtoot. Senator Borah and
Cummfns, tbo, seem rather In the lime
light, but wtj think Hughes has the best
chance for 'the nomination If he will
run."' -, ,
William t,nu,dor, secretary of the State
Industrial Board and a member of tho
Pennsylvania Bonrd of education, said
tha nresldentlnl situation lias, not reached
a point where discussion would be per
mlsslb'c. Of ono thing ho seemed .posl-,
tlve and that Is that T. C. du Pont had
little chance for nomination.
T. A. Morrey, of St, Louis, another
Western deleg&je, said:
"Although I myself am what Is usu

If we had a little more Teddylsm. tem

"I think Hughes Is the logical man for
tho nomination: If he will' consent to run.
Wilson, of course, will bo nominated by
tha Democrats. Ho Is their favorite rio
doubt.aoout that. As h whole his Admin
istration has been good." he added with a
smllo,. "bjit ho has not looked to pur com
mercial Interests ns he should havo.
"Possibly I might put It In this way:
ha has been lax In bringing those to
task who havo overstepped their author

money, but give It to the schools and
to tho children." "
Louis F. Post, Assistant Secretary of
Labor, said that the Bureau of Natural
ization of the Department of Labor,
which at first contlned Itself mostly' to
attempting to keep undesirable aliens
from becoming citizens, Is now turning
a creator share of Us attention to posi
tive work In aslstlng the desirable ele
ments among the aliens to become good
citizens. He advocated a school of Amer
ican citizenship from which a man would
graduate Just like In any school, and his
"diploma" would entitle hfm to citizen
ship papers.
INFLUENCE OF POSTAL SAVINGS.
"The Postal Savings Ban' s one of tho
best friends the Immigrant has," declared
Carter . Keeno, director af fhe division
of postal savings of the Poslofflce De
partment. 'IWe, do not take, thditnoney
away from banks," he .said. "On the
other hand, J70.O0O,0QO has been turned
into banking channels by the Postal Sav
ings Bank. Vn havo turned money from
disuse into use. We have .Invaded the
domain of the tln,can bank and the chim
ney corner, Ye have also Invaded the
illegal domain of the bogus private banker
and Immigrant, which pieys on the cre
dulities of his helpless brethren."
He said that E per cent, of the Postal
Savings depositors were born outside of
the United States, who own 72 pe? cent.
of the money on deposit.
' Mr. Kenne also said that the Russian Is
the biggest depositor" in'thc system. Next
to him comes the Italian. He said In
Philadelphia, however. 73 per cent, of
the deposits are by Italians. Advertis
ing in the foreign language newspapers
in this country, said Mr. Keene, has
greatly boosted the postal saving sys
tem. The fprelgn-born residents here,
aid Mr. Keene, are learning rapidly not
to trust their funds in the private bank.
RESOLUTIONS INTRODUCED.
A resolution was Introduced by EdwqnJ
C Ryblckl, of New York, to start' Rn
agitation to open the naturalization courts
at night. ' The resolution was referi ed-to
a committee.
Albert It. Rogers, of tho National Chris
tian Temperance Union, brought greetings
from lUfiOi churches, who wished to co
operate with the Americanization Com
mittee In teaching the detrimental effect
of American liquors to foreigners accus
tomed to different and less harmful
Nathaniel Phillips, of the League of For
tMp4 Born CitlzenB said that many men
wko wanted to become citizens did not
knew where to go.
A revolution was Introduced by Dr. P.
V, CWxfon, Federal Commissioner of Edu
cation, asking the United States Govern
jjoent to aid the Americanization Com
mittee by printing millions of pamphlets
for tha use. qf Immigrant and containing
information about American institutions
jn all languages, interlined with English.
Peter Roberts, of the International Y

schools. Wo do not want so much of
this 'uplift spirit ns we hnve had In
America wo want to get away from the
Idea of making Immigrants Into clumsy
Imitations of native Americans. We
should give them an opportunity to de
velop along their own lines."
OPPOSES ANARCHIST BOOKS.
Robert Bliss, of the American Llbrnry
Association, said that the problem of
Americanization had been a problem of
the Library Association for 10 years. "It
Is not a question of Inducing the foreigner
lo read,' but of what kind of books he
shall rend," ho said. "It Is Important to
remember that tho Immigrant reads, ns
U shown by the pnpers and books pub
lished In his nntlvo tongue. And, for
example, nt Plttston the Lithuanians hnd
n Llthunnlan Free Library. But much of
tho literature which Is circulated among
Immigrants Is anarchistic, vicious and Im
moral. Wo must chnngo the Immigrant's
point of view, first of all by Inducing him
to rend books that teach English."
"We have a great deal of social unrest
and inflammable material on hanu, sniu
Bcrnnrd Hotlmcll, or the Massachusetts
Commission of Immigration. "Investiga
tion In my State has forced mc to believe
thnt efforts of private bencvolenco In
Amerlcnntzntlon tosult only In failure or
partial succrsi. Suspicion Is aroused In
tho Immigrant by these efforts. The pro
tection wj'ich tho Immigrant must havo
should come from tho State and nntlon
In order to secure tho Immigrant's re-
rpect and loyalty to tho land of his
adoption."
Speaking on "Tho Catholic College nnd
tho Immigrant," Dr. Frank O'Hnra, of the
Catholic University of America at Wash
ington, said that tho college could aid In
tho Americanization or Immigrants by
evening school courses teaching English
nnd showing that Catholic nnd American
ideals harmonize. Ho attacked Intoler
ance. "Tho Immigrant Is not to bo blamed for
raising tho question of whether or not he
wants to be nn American," Doctor O'llara
declared, "If being an American citizen
menus being Intolerant."
STOTESBURYS ENTUR.TAIN.
Tho objects, scope nnd methods of tho
Amcricnnjzatton movement were elenrly
stated Inst night nt the E. T. Stotcsbury
residence. Mrs. Stotcsbury, who Is n
vlco chairman of tho Amerlcanlzntlon
Committee, cntcrtnlned 173 notable men
nnd women nt dinner, and as many more
were admitted to her residence to listen
to nddrcsses by some of the most prom
inent citizens of the nation.
Governor Martin O. Brumbaugh's was
only one of n dozen eminent names that
stood upon tho list of speechmnkcrs. The
dinner. It was said, was the most Im
portant ever held In n prlvnte residence
In this city.
Sessions of the conference, addressed
by such authorities as Anthony Cnml
nettl. United States Commissioner of Im
migration; Dr. P. P. Claxton, Federal
Commissioner of Education; Louis F.

morning until 6' tonight.
All sessions nrc open to the public.
So many Important persons are sched
uled to speak In ono day that tho ad
dresses of even the most potablo per
ssns ore limited to jlvo minutes.
Ono of tho very Important leatures in
connection with the conference was the
opening yesterday afternoon of Mrs.
Stotesbury'a "Americanization Through
Art" exhibit at Memorial Hall, Fair
mount Park., Tho exhibit contains only
tho works of Pennsylvania's forclgn-born
artists nnd nrtlsts with parents of for
eign birth. It Is designed to show what
tho Immigrant has done, artistically, for
America, and what America has done
for him. Tho exhibit, begtnnlnrtoday, Is
open to tho public.
Tho scene at the dinner rftn by the
Stotesburys last night was Jiresslvo In
Its beauty and dignity. Tho' if Idence had
been transformed within the Inst few
w'ecks to an even greater beauty than it
hnd before. For a month past a Btnnll
army of workmen and decorators had
been nlterlng Its Interior, throwing two
buildings Into one. Working night and
day, they had finished their task early
yesterday morning. The rooms and hall
ways had been enbowered In masses of
azaleas, acacias and camellias. Ths great
ballroom. In which ITS or more guests sat
down to dinner, befo.o they were Joined
by the other guests Invited to listen to
the nddresses, made a brilliant spectacle.
The magnificent new annex to tho
mansion at 1323 Walnut street, which car
penters and painters have been working
night nnd day to finish In time, was
thrown open to the public and private
agencies answeilng the challenge to pub
lic Bplrlt. Hundreds of their represent
atives were ushered Into the mansion,
rich and poor alike, types of every walk
in life, to be entertained in sumptuous
manner.
HOSPITALITY TO NEW CITIZENS.
"Hospitality to the newly arrived citi
zen" was the keynote of the talk that
occupied the dinner guests. Serious pur
pose animated all the men and women
gathered there. At the speakers' table
sat Mr. S.totesbury, Governor Brumbaugh,
Governor Miller, of Delaware; Frank
Trumbull, Itobert Bacon, ex-Ambassador
to France; Miss Kellor, Mrs. Cornelius
Stevenson, Mrs. Vincent Astor, Charles
Custls Harrison, Alba B. Johnson, John
It. Fahey, 8. Stanwood Menken, W. J.
i.lchards, Felix M. Warburg. John Hus
ton Finley, Miss Agnes neppller and John
Price Jackson. It waa nearly 11 o'clock
When the dinner was over, the tables re
moved, and the ballroom converted Into an
auditorium, where addresses were given.
"No fewer than 108 cities of the United
States already have manifested their
eager Interest In the work and alms of
the National Americanization Commit
tee," said Mr. Trumbull in opening the
meeting. "What we are trying to become
Is a sort of clearing house to supply
plans for this work to municipalities,
civic; bodies,, chambers of commerce, col
leges, schools and clubs, and to offer
them suggestions for things to be done
in a concrete way, The response haa been
so eager that we feel convinced that
we are engaged In a great work."
Mr Trumbull paid a graceful tribute
to the hostess.
"We. must express, at -this moment,
our gratitude to Mrs. Stotesbury. She has
proved that she Is a 'good housekeeper In
a. blsger, sense. The best housekeeping In
these lager times Is to have good house
keeping miclty, State and national affairs.
She is helping to make the 'world a better
place ta live In. She is making hospitality
a real thing to the foreigners who come
tq us. And 'hospitality' must be the key
note of our committee's work."
DRAMATIC TOUCH TO MEETING.
A touch of the dramatic, and certainly
of the enthusiastic, was given the meet
ing when Mso Mary Antin. the Jewish
girl who saw In America "The Promised
Land" and wrote of her adopted coun
try under that title, was lifted up on a
chair. She had an American flag pinned
to her dress. She talked so eagerly that
.her words fairly raced and tumbled over
each other. '
"Ah, this. Jj a good sight to met" she
exclaimed, with her quaint accent, "a
good, good sight. I cannot tell you how
good! The old stock gathers together to
give of itself to those who come to
America's shores seeking liberty, oppor
tunity and equality. It I good to know
that our prosperity has not killed us after
all It is particularly good to find that in
Philadelphia, in the old town where the
Liberty Bell pealed out, they are up and

F. P. WALSH CONDEMNS
AMERICANIZATION AS
'PATERNAL TYRANNY'
Chairman of Industrial Rela
tions Committee Sends
Sharp Letter to the
Conference
"TRADE UNIONS IGNORED"
Frank P. Walsh, chairman of tho Com
mittee on Industrial Itelatlons, sent n
letter to the Nntlonnl Conference on
Immigration nnd Americanization touny.
condemning tho purposes of tho-National
Amerlcanlzntlon Committee.
The Walsh letter declared that better
standards of living nnd of citizenship
among Immigrant workers can only be
brought about through tho betterment of
wages and working conditions nnd that
the trade unions arc the agency to do that
work. The letter, nddressed to Frank
Trurnbull, chairman of tho Americaniza
tion Committee, says In part:
"Several wocks ago, I, ns Chairman of
the Committee on Industrial Itelatlons,
wrote you nnd tho other members of
your Executive Committee, requesting
that the Board of Directors of tho Amer
lcnntzntlon Committee Indorse nnd urge
the use of tho American trade nnd labor
unions as Americanization agencies.
"My letter remains unnnsworcd except
as Miss Frances Keller hns replied to It.
"As far ris I nm ndvlsod, the commit
tee Ignores nly request thnt my letter
he nlnred before the Executive Com
mittee for discussion and nctton nt tho
meeting which Is to bo held at tho homo
of Mr. and Mrs. "Edward T. Stotesbury In
Philadelphia on Janunry 18, nnd ovndcs
mv urcent nlca that you use your pow
erful machinery of ngltatlon nnd direct
appeal to point out to the Immigrant
the advantnge and necessity of a strong
union organization If he and his fellows
aro to be protected from exploitation and
oppression
"Only ono conclusion can be drawn from
tho rcsponso to my letter nnd from a
close study of all the publicity material
and other literature which you have Is
sued. I am forced to believe that tho luat
thing your committee desires Is the Amer
icanization of the Immigrant, and thnt
Instead you are attempting to Bet up a
paternalism that will bring the '-srkers
of this country even more absolutely
under the control of the employer than
they are at present."
Mr. Walsh goes on to name "active
members of your committee" who, ho
says, are "relentlessly resisting any move
ment that threatens to free their em
ployes from Industrial tyranny." The
problem of the Immigrant, he says. Is the
problem of the wage-earner. The firm
of which Mr, Stotesbury Is a member
financed the New York subway, on which
Mr. Walsh says there are "unspeakably
wretched conditions."
He condemns the Pennsylvania Itallroad
system of "spies and armed guards, au
thorized by the corporation of which your
Mr. Samuel Ilea Is. president."
Mr. Walsh' letter was read by Dante
Barton, vice chairman of the Industrial
Relations Committee, of which Mr. Walsh
Is chairman. He prefaced )t by saying
that he didn't think his hearers would
like It. "but," he said, "Mr. Walsh and
I think it strikes a. fundamental note for
the Amencan workmen.
"Americanization means a state of sat
isfaction with bad industrial conditions,
and bad Industrial conditions are dis
tinctively American," he said. "No other
country In the world except this one has
its workmen driven so hard, nor is there
any other country In the world where
private individuals and private corpora
tions are so In control that soldiers of In
dustry may be shot down at their will.
"We should do our 'Americanizing' at
the top as well as at the bottom."
Then he read the letter. When he fin
ished the audience was distinctly shaken.
The delegates didn't know whether to
applaud or b9 silent. Justice Qoodwjn,
of Chicago, who was presiding, relieved
the tension by walking over to Mr. Bar
ton, taking hU hand and saying" to him;
"I want to congratulate you and thank
you for introducing a new and enliven
ing note into this conference." Then the
audience applauded.
MARY ANTIN TELLS WHAT IS
3IEANT BY "AMERICA FIRST"
Mary Antln, the young woman who
landed In Boston not so long ago as a
raw immigrant, and who In this country
has developed to be one of the leaders
In teaching the American idea to other
immigrants who do not 'learn as eagerly
and quickly as did she, spoke today of
her understanding of the slogan, "Amer
ica First."
Miss Antln gave tho Interview at the
Bellevye-Stratford, where she is one of
the majors of the Americanization Con
ference in session there today.
"J do not mean' by 'America First,' "
MUs Antln said, "anything like the Eu
ropean nations mean by slogans -which
have a similar connotation," 'Peuuchland
Uber Alle,' for instance. 'America First'
has an Implication of opportunity, not
force. We mean by it that the 'immi
grants should understand that their best
.opportunity lies here; not only Jn abso-
lue treeaom in religious thought and Po
litical thought and such other things fqr
which the country was established, but
firat also in happy opportunity to live
.and make progress. It's a different point
of view entirely.
"Wo must make the opportunity so sure

old friend. Dr. J. Wllllnm White, who
Is so exactly In nccord with tho Colonel's
temperament and Ideas that ho oven 10
scmbles him somewhat facially, has been
confined to u cot In tho University Hos
pital. But Doctor White threw off tho last
lingering weakness of his Indisposition In
n truly Hooscvoitinn manner to cniermin
tho Colonel, who went direct to me

Square to talk preparedness with one who
believes In preparedness and rest up for
his big effort nt tho Metropolitan tonight.
Colonel Roosevelt will dlno at tho homo
of Thomas Itoblns nnd will go from there
direct to the opera house. Ills theme
will be "Fear God and- Take Your Own

Social and economic preparedness will
bo his message. While Congress Is In the
heat of discussion as to first and second
lines of defense, continual armies and
compulsory, military training, Colonel
Itoosevelt wt1 point out that ships and
armies unsupported by Internal prepared
ness will avail little.
Tho Colonel conceives Internal pre
paredness na tho promotion of internal
unity by Insistence on the samo ideal af
American citizenship, tho same language,
the same American standards of living
everywhere throughout the country In
short, Americanization: the nationaliza
tion of Industry or the adoption of a
national point of view for business,
whether for pence or war; railway pre
paredness, both as a practical defense
measure and a permanent business philo
sophy; Industrial organization with refer
ence not only to war Industries, but also
to nil o.liera; the actual federation of
such public functions as health depart
ments, etc. In emergency, and the con
stant potential federation of these In
time of peace; above all, a, national point
of vltM- on the part of tho average Ameri
can citizen.
IMMIGRANT WANTS ADVICE;
DELEGATES ARE AT A LOSS
Much amusement was caused by a let
ter from an Immigrant "In great trou
ble," which II. II. Wheaton, of the Bu
reau of Education, Washington, exhibited
to the delegates. It raised a question,
he said, as to whether or not Americani
zation should apply to Immigrant women.
The letter was as follows;
"I read your advertising that you wish
that every foreigner who came to Amer
ica should know how to be a citizen of
the United States. I love the country
and I used to go In the night school, and
I am much obliged to the Board of Edu
cation for that.
"But I am In great trouble. My wife
Is no stupid, but uho does pot allow me to
go to night school. She want I should
go with her out or In amusement places.
If not she curse ,mk and execrate me.
Kindly let me know what can I do'
Just what advice the man will get Is
not known yet, The delegates couldn't
make up their mind what ought to be
done.. They said they would probably first
Bend some women to see the man's wife
.and Interview her. They want the man
to go to night school, but they don't want
.him to get In trouble with his wife.
JIayor Ellis' Daughter 111
Much concern was caused today in
Camden, N. J., by the serious illness
ot Miss Elizabeth Ellis, tha youngest
daughter of Mayor Charles H. Ellis, of
that city. She hag been 111 at her home,

"This country needs Americanizing,"
said II. II. Whcnton..of tho United States
Bureau of Educntlon, In n paper read this
morning before tho Americanization Con
ference. "This applies nllko to native
and foreign born," ho went on to say.
"How to Americanize nn alien Is only

cational guidance could be done at the

Federal Government given full authority.
Mr. Wheaton went on to enumerate the
standards of education which his bureau
suggests. They nre as follows;
First. Tubtlc evening schools to cover
tho period of heaviest Immigration In
April. May nnd June.
Second. Evenings per week; three eve
nings aro suggested as a standard.
Third. Hours per evening should not
exceed two and ought to bo limited to

Fourth. Teachers should be selected
according to (n) teaching nblllty: (b)
teaching experience; (o) training; (d)
practical knowledgo of foreign types,
traits nnd characteristics; (e) personality.
Fifth. Subject-matter for English In
struction should be adapted to tho prac
tical need or the average Immigrant
English for conversation In his employ
ment, business, domestic and social rela
tions. Sixth. Subject matter of civics instruc
tion should teach more than government.
It should teach tho Immigrant that he
has responsibilities as a resident of his
' olghborhood, city and State, and of the
United States; that he Is a citizen' In
fact even though he Is not yet a citizen
through legal procedure.
Seventh. Publicity of evening school
facilities should enlist the active co
operation of Industries, foreigners or
ganizations and all Interested agencies.
