’ aturalization Court - Wanted for This City Wrote This Soldier in Diary “Commonwealth Club Would Work for| Benefit of Foreigner--Guy D. Gold Advances Ideas on Citizenship aim | an understanding teacher who | leads them out of their narrow views of the meaning of freedom into our conception of liberty. Not Merely Right to Vote, Mr. Gold emphasized tae point that citizenship does not mean simply the right to vote, ‘Remember this,” he said, “that in teaching a new Ameri- can citizenship you are not necces- sarily teaching him to vote.” | though the alien population does its duty better at the polls, it soon learns its lesson from the Americans and re- mains away when convenient. Amer- icans, ne said, are the laziest people politicaily on the face of the globe and we cannot put the blame for dirty politics on the foreign voter. The speaker gave a short history of naturalization in the United & pointing out that the rights of zenship in one state are not those a man can claim in another. He said A movement having its ‘@reater eficiency {n the assimilation as of foreigners was started last night by ““the Commonwealth club following the address of Guy D.

ILast year more than four thousand foreigners transacted business with the New American ociation and in this number were séventeen different na- tionalities “You ought to be ashamed of your- self if you do not get wunder this proposition and make it go,” said Mr. Gold in closing his address, and his hearers, who had listexed closely to “ his story of the work done in Brock- ton and the results accomplished, agreed with him. Similar work on a small scale has been attempted in New Britain by the French Naturali- zation club and the naturalization classes held in the Y. M. C. A. this winter. i A. H. Andrews Mr. Gold was introduced by A. H Andrews, secretary, of of the Cham- ber of Commerce, the two men having | been closely associated in their work in Brockton. Mr. Andrews as presi- dent and secretary of the Chamber of Commerce there and Mr. Gold as president of the Civic bureau of the chamber. Mr. Andrews said that two ago a yvoung man came to | ton with ideas. The city soon realized that Gold knew the solution of the problem of the foreign popula- tion and he regarded as one of | the best authorities in the country on | the subject. “American Citizenship and Demo- cracy,” was the subject of this ad- dress.

The value of a declaration of in- tention to an immigrant and to the commurity is very great, he said. In Brockton a machinery for hunting up arrivals and getting them to file declarations has been organized among those interested in civic work and he suggested a similar system for New Britain. “If, as part of vour program,” he said, “you let it be known in all the foreign quarters of New Britain that if each man will come with an interpreter and fill out the ne~essary blanks, or, if the blanks cannot be filed out here to send them to Washington; you will be confer- ring on New Britain a great bless- ing.” There is great value in getting the new arrival to file his declaration at once, for then the things that must be known are fresh in h mind. Hundreids of persons do not remem- ber the dates of their birth and many others do not even remember the name of the ship which they crossed the Atlantic. Every man places great valte upon his citizenship papers, sald Mr. Gold and because of the difficulty and ex- pense of proving his residence he removes to another state, he will likely become a permanent asset in the ¢ munity he first chooses, at least for the five vears necessary to give him citizenship. This will be a long enough period to do some good with him in the work of making him a valuable asset to the countr \With a first paper on his person a new arrival will be less likely to com- | | Introduces Speaker. on zenship. papers and the five years for residence, comes the time for the most valuable service, the time wiien the candidate goes before the court for examination. Here, said the speaker, is an excellent cpportunity for a kind of big brother work. Heretofore this work has been done by the saloon keeper or the po- litical boss, and in many places a | lawyer has made a business of swear- | ing that he had known the man for ! five consecutive years. The school for naturalization in Brockton took this matter in hand however, and when the time for tI examinations arrived Mr. Gold and all the students that had been under the various volunteer teachers went to the court house to be made citizens Mr. Gold said the opinion foreigner get of our city, state and national officers by the talk in the factories REPORT MANY CASES OF RHEUMATISM NOW Says we must keep feet dry; avoid exposure and cat less Stay off the damp ground, avoid exposure, keep feet dry, eat less meat, drink lots of water and above all take a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep down uric acid.

The organization kept in touch with the men afterward by assisting in registration, by means of occasional meetings to show the use of the bai- lott, and by means of the Cosmopoli- ‘[ tan club. | Mr:. Gold answered several questions after his address.
