OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS GIVE HIM A CHANCE | ; Hundreds of thousands of foreigners have been flocking | into this country since the war. Millions more will seek entrance in the years to come. - i ‘Whether or not they will become good citizens and eventu- ally good Americans will depend as much upon us as upon them. | They come to us in comparative ignorance of A.me_ncan' manners, customs and traditions. They will learn principally that which is taught them by others. ¥ If they fall among the minority element that disparages Jaw and order and good government it will not be surprising if time finds many of them allied with that class, . | But if-they find: the kindly and paternal hand of the gov-| efnment outstretched to greet and guide them there is every, reason to expect that they will develop into good and valuable\ citizens. Some effort is being' made to enlighten these immigrants upon their arrival in the United States, but it is only a beginning | ‘and the end is too quickly reached, It can hardly accomplish| the full purpose for which it is designed. : A more comprehensive and detailed course of instruction in the duties of American citizenry and business activity should be| provided every foreigner who lands upon our shores in future| {years, and not one of them should be sent out into the hive of; UAmerican industry until he has acquired a clear understanding | of the opportunities before him and of the duties that devolve| ‘upon him. i Good citizens are what we want, but good citizens are not 'made standing idly by while the untutored walk into, the wait- ing arms of those who thrive at the expense of good society and rational government. Give the immigrant a chance. 0. THEY FOUGHT A BETTER FIGHT Unlimited sums for pleasure! K .. Nothing for humanity! " . " Ingratitude for services well performed. ¢ § Thousands of rich men ‘will pay great sums for the privi- lege of seeing the fight between Carpentier and Dempsey. Hordes of people who can ill afford the price of admission ‘will also view the battle of the pugilistic giants. i . But there are thousands of others who will not see the[ . “mill”—who could not if they would. 'They are men who have fought in a greater.battle, with nobler impulses, and. for a more! ‘worthy cause. They are the sick and crippled veterans of the| {World war-—young men who crossed the seas and gave of their| {blood and their: manhood in the cause of home and country. These helpless heroes are herded in over-crowded hospi-| ‘tals or farmed out to other institutions where neither the com- fort or the food is what it should be. Will these battered and emaciated sérvice men think of the coming fight in their isolation and neglect? 1 They will! ! They will wonder why millions of dollars can be spent on a single prize fight by men who sidestep the expenditure of a few| dimes on those who fought in a nobler cause. | They have reason to wonder. E OVERHEARD BY EXCHANGE EDITOR COMMERCIAL CLUB, WORK © There was probably no member of the Commercial club who attended the, annual meeting on Wednesday evening who was not impressed by the list of club activities presented by Secretary Stanton in his annual report. | Incidentally. the report itself was an excellent statement of the purposes nnyl possibilities of a commercial club and of the conditions necessary to make it & successful working body. Mr. Stanton is entitled to the hearty commenda- tion which his report received, and to the vote of appreciation given by the club at the close of the reading of his report.—Grand Forks Herald. The Fergus Falls Journal,: commenting on: the;small number of boys graduating from high schools in that city and at Perham, wants to know “What is the matter with the boys, anyway?” -Perhaps the question might be amended, to ask the parents. In Fergus Falls there were only 15 boys fand over 70 girls in thd graduating class this year, and at Perham the rela- tive number of boys was even smaller. If the boys do not take advantage 'of their school opportunities they are going to be so badly handicapped in the years to come, that the girls who have been wiser, will outgrow the boys jn’ mental attainments that they will be looking higher up for mates. This isithe era of women, and men cannot be laggards and win out.—St. Cloud Journal Press. . Colonel George Harvey, described President W. G. Harding to his Lon- ‘don audience as “‘a typical, modern American, proud of his own country, {but jealous of no other man’s; resolute_in maintaining his own nation’s|| xights, but not less scrupulous in recognizing the rights of others; a fair, {just, modest man, humble, but unafraid.”—Mankato Free Press. - Minnesota; js the land of fertility and ideal climate., When the Good Lord created the North Star state he contributed all the fundamental things ‘that the heart of man could desire, but he left some things for the inhabi- tants to do, and only slackers want to postpone improvements ‘‘until next ‘year.”—Hibbing Journal Press. The president has asked for the judgment of the children on what should be done with the two owls that have taken jup, their abode on the White House grounds. He is getting a lot of opinions on what should be done | with Ambassador Harvey without asking.—St. Cloud Times. {1 The United States is very properly not dropping into matters which ¥ ’l.!e peculiarly of l}‘.uropean ¢:om:emfp But the history of the past few years L flows that a war in Europe becomes quite distinctly a matter of American ¥ fgycern.—Gran\i Forks Herald. l } i A cong'ressm};n has introduced a resolution déiefi;in : th .tvfl;l il : hail ““The Star Spangled Banner” each day.

Sown by the winds, by the wandering birds, propagated by the subtle agriculture of the elements which are its minis- ters and servants, it softens the rude outline of the world.
