Lewis in Address | at Philadelphia Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. triotic influences fostered by born Americans, growing out of the | lack of harmonv among classes and resulting in “an order of universal condemnation,” were held largely re- sponsible in an address here last night ' by Senator James Hamilton Lewis, of Illinois, for the activities of foreign- born citizens condemned in President ‘Wilson’s recent address to Congress. “It is appropriate,” said Senator Lewis, who spoke before the New England Society of Pennsylvania, “to call attention to the truth that the na- tive-born American citizen has been the educator of the foreign-born adopted American citizen.” Nothing to Praise. | “For the last ten years,” he con- tinued, “there has been nothing in America which the native-born Amer- fcan could find to praise. Every- thing has heen unworthy of support | or credit. This order of universal | condemnation has been divided nto | two classes: “First, the powerful, holdinz their power from wealth or the accident of position, could see nothing in the de- mand of the masses for justice except the cry of anarchy. They ever con- demned the effort to equalize the privileges and opportunities of men as the protest of socialism. They | concluded their arraignment of the poor for justice, the middle class for opportunity, and those who struggled for the acknowledgment of the laws of man and God, as either ignorance or crime. First Damnation. Here began the first damnation by one set of Americans of the other class in order to avoid listening to | their complaints or respecting their ' grievances. Then followed the natu- | ral revenge. The under classes, cried out their condemnation against every- thing that was property or prosper- ous. This retaliation took the form of accusation, and judgment and exe- tion against all authority, political | or religious or possessions, earned or inherited. “Then there arose in the commun- ity self-selected leaders, who to vance their ambitions for office or noisy recognition, capitalized these roarings of discontent under the ruc and cry of—‘Down with society— Death to the court—Contempt for the law~—a scoff at religion and a de- —Unpa- native- | | | | | Among the most interesting phases of the national political situation is the movement that has brought Henry D. Estabrook of New York and Ne- braska so prominently to the front as a candidates for the republican presidential nomination. First spokea of as a presidential possibiliy less than ad- | six months ago, Mr. Estabrook is to- day one of the leading republican | candidates. Mr. Estabrook, who is an orator of note, has made speeches in important cities in various parts of the United States. He is a suc- cessful lawyer, a man of dignity and fine physical pressure and a student of government, economic and social problems. He is opposed to the tariff policy of thé administration and was one of the first men to outline a con- crete program of national defense. He presented his defense plan in a speech before the American Bankers' asso- ciation on Sept. 8 at Seattle. His address was called by the Seattle Times ‘“one of the most remarkable addresses ever delivered in the northwest.” fiance of God. % Result in Twenty Years. “The result was that in the last twenty years the new-born American and the imported American has known nothing of America except that it was a place where all other Americans certified there were no men of honor, no things of decency, no institution in which any man could have a purpose except to overthrow as being unwor- thy. “As a remedy we should promptly establish by law that the right of a citizen to participate in elections is a duty; that the failure of the citizen to perform his duty at the ballo box consecutively for a certain length of t4me, should be punished by having the right of suffrage withdrawn from him. To this there should be added the further law, enforcing upon all who have enjoyed the benefits of nat- uralization, the duty to comply with citizenship as loyal Americans, and prescribing that any citizen whose conduct is such as to be unworthy of ciffzenship should. upon the proof of such fact, have the citizenship with- drawn by the order of the courts. ‘With these two remedies reserved to the government, there would be less disbasement of this high perrogative and more of devotion to citizenship in order to be worthy of its continued enjoyment.” EXPLOIT OF YOUNG | AUSTRIAN CAPTAIN Entercd Plevlje Surprised Mayor and Council in Session and Demand- ed Surrender of City.
