Here in Wyoming we have been |fertunate in this respect, but condl- |tions are changing because of a grad- jual increase of foreign born people} {coming in, many of whom are unedu- cated, !mmoral, with little regard for law and order, a burden to the com- | munity. | | In the east and central parts of} this.country there are industrial cen- ters that are almost whol'y foreign, | who live practically the same as they lived in their native land, with no thought of bettering their condition, except to gather in the American dol- lars to squander in riotous living or carry back to the land from whence they came. | Immigration has been temporartly| restricted, yet the mining industry is| asking for a modification of the 3 per | cent immigration act, for the purpose | of allowing additional labor to come into the country.

We are well aware that among the} aliens now in America there are many that will develop into good, useful} citizens, but there are as mentioned above, a large number who will never become Americanized and whose sole purpose is to spread propaganda that trends toward *ne undermining of the government. The desirable citizen of any nation is he or she who does not seek to prosper at the expense of his fellows, who does not seek the ad- vancement of his group to the detri ment of all other groups, who rea‘izes that none are denendent, that a’l are interdependent.

The sate source reveals the fact that in the nation, In round numbers, over 10,000, 000 are either illiterate or without the knowledge of our language. One can readily grasp the results of a soap-box orator's destructive ar guments when addressing an audience of this type of peop'e. Philosophy and ethics will dispute it, but the hard facts and experience of life prove that “the pursult of happines: which Thomas Jefferson proudly claimed as the right of all men in the uew-born American Republic, means lttle else but the “pursuit of wealth.” A legiti- mate and worthy occupation we must a'l agree. Simply because he is not ession of abundance of the of the realm, the soap-box orator a dramatica!ly asks ‘Do you know v money scarce brothers? We Magine the answer coming from a tired looking woman standing in the edge of crowd, “It’s because so many of you men spend your time te'ling each other WHY instead of hustling to see that it aint.’ Injustice always has been and al will _be the cause of labor trou w bles. But we must not forget that it 1s sometimes on one side, and sometimes on the other. Misunderstanding is not infrequently its accompaniment. Imag- ination, sympathy, mutuality and co- operation are the handmaidens of jus- tice. There ts no intelligent man or jay who does not believe in organized labor. Organized labor stands in the way to gain much by intelligent and honest work and or. der!y procedure. And to lose much if through self-deception on its own part or through unworthy leadership, it deceives itself into believing that it is superior to the ferces of law and or The bane of organized labor in the past has too often been the un- scrupulous, the self-seeking or fhe bull-headed leader. Organized labor must be constantly diligent to purge itself of these, its worst enemies. Organized labor probably has never cccupied so high a position as it oc- cupies today. Its future depends on the caliber of its membership. For their own welfare, however, to say nothing of the we:fare of the nation, labor unions must rid themselves of all destructive elements. Force is a | two-edged sword, and the force of thiy nation when once its sere of justice and right is outraged and its temper is aroused, will be found to be infin itely superior to any particular class. whether it be capital or whether it be labor, Public opinion after all ts the court of last resort. No strike or lockout san succeed with us without that tre mendous weapon of public opinion be- hind it. Dr. Brown, dean of Yale university na recent address said “We aro liv ing at present in a wor'd not fit to live in.” To this I can not agree, for I! know of no better one. But we do ize that during the past eight years the word has been torn to pieces by a great disaster, politically. industrially and morally. Tt will have rebuilt, and built better than it was before the war, and in my judg ment it will have to be rebult on the basis 1 higher type of persona aracter, and in the case of this gov- rnment of ours on the basis of abso- ute American princip'es as laid down our forefathers, and tn the words Washington, “Confine each mem- ber of society within the limits pre- scribed by the laws and maintain all n the secure and tranquil enjoyment of the rights of person and property.’ In order to bring this to pass there are certain things to my mind that should have earnest consideration. Restricted immigration in my judg: ment is absolutely essential, and that under tho closest scrutiny, until this old world returns to normal condl- tions and the rious nations of Europe are at peace. Prevent, if pos- sible, the unloading upon our shores the criminal, the propagandist and he pauper of other lands. We have enough and to spare of these type a’ready. As a further safeguard, those who have the rights of suffrage, must see that good men placed in office. men that dare to do and doing dare. The laws of this land be they city, state or national, must be upheld and enforc regardless of class or poli- s. Let this be done and you will see a wonderful change for the better in the morale of the nation and fewer undesirable citizens in your commu- nity. Mutual confidence and a spirit of sympathy and real co-operation be- tween employer and employee, is an important factor in national life. It 8 here that capita! and labor, the cap- tain of industry and the man with the hoe, can prove their worth in the economic affairs of a nation, and with profit to themselves, In the industrial circle confidence building starts outside the gate and in the communty. Industry can not ex- Pect to win the confidence of its em- ployes unless {t first stands for those things in a community whch make for better homes, better educational fa- cilities and all that goes to make up a healthful and happy community life. Confidence will be created when carefully thought out policies are def. initety stated, so that the man on the job knows where his company stands on matters of compensation and the kind of service to be rendered in re- turn. It is pleasing to note the interest that is being taken by both employer and employes in the so-called Indus: trial Relation Plan, where company representatives and representatives from the employes come together in Joint council to discuss matters of vi- tal interest to both parties, The plan has proved to be feasible and mutu- ally beneficial. The company that jloes not have such an organization is ‘out of step with modern industrial progress and missing an opportunity for service it can ill afford to lose. In every community there are five doors that must be kept open if it would prosper. Retail store door—the shop door— the home door—the public school door and the church door, “We must educate, or short wi'l be our race from the cradle to the grave 8 as true today as when spoken by that great orator a century ago. Our public school system founded in order that every child might be able to read and understand the word of God and laws of the land grew with the growth of the nation, sus- taining the lofty ideals and noble pur- poses from which our Americanism sprung. It should be more than a place in which a few fundamentals of education are taught. It should be a mint in which the character of the true Americanism that {s to pass cur- rent all over the world should be molded and minted in the most thor: ough manner. Whatever we do we must keep sacred this great American institution. We must a'so see to it that those who come to us from for- eign shores avail themselves of this opportunity for education, and insist on our own people giving their chil- dren at least a common school edu. cation and a higher one is possible. Compu'sory education is absolutely es- sential. America cannot afford to do ‘otherwise than to insist on its fulfill ment to the letter. And further let us see to it that we permit no man or woman to teach in any school in these United States that does not believe {n our flag and the princip'es for which it stands. The nations that have fallen, the governments, the systems that have Passed have passed because of moral delinquencies and weaknesses, rather than because of material disaster. It does not matter how wealthy a people may be,,how wise or how industrially in the God fearing home, and the sense of responsibility to God are not present, that nation will not survive— no other nation has. It is “Righteous- ness that Exalteth a Nation.” In 1831 a French nobleman came to present, that nation will not survive— this country to learn if possible the secret of our success as a nation. He wrote a book called “Democracy in America.” As he laid it in the hands of his publisher he sald: “I sought for the greatness and gen- ius of America in her commodious harbors and her amp'e rivers and it was not there. I sought for greatness and genius of America in her fertile fields and boundless forests and it was not there. I sought for the great: ness and genius of America in her rich mines and her vast world com- merce and it was not there. I sought for the greatness and genius of Amer- ica in her public school system and her institutions of learning and !t was not there, I sought for tho greatness and genius of America in her demo- ‘cratic congress and her matchless con- stition and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great ‘As citizens of this great republic are we measuring up to our responsl- bilities in this day and age? Are we selecting the best men for positions of trust in governmental office? Is there the confidence existing in the indus. trial wor'd that should prevail? Are we gving our system of education the unqualified support it is entitled to? Do we give the thought and attention to the better things of life that should come from the people of a Christian nation’ If we are not doing these things then let us stop and consider wel! the ultl- mate results as viewed in of nations that have gone on before.
