THOMPSON PRESIDES North Platte, Neb, 30— (Special.)—"America, my own coun- try first, last and all the time,” and a governmental policy protecting American citizens & wherever they happen to be, was the theme of a speech delivered at the Lincoln coun- ty fair here today before the largest and finest county fair crowd that ever gathered in western Nebraska John L. Kennedy of Omaha, repub- lican candidate for United States senator. Mr. Kennedy emphasized the im- portance of understanding that be- tween government and citizen there exist mutual and reciprocal rights and duties. It was John L. Kennedy who, when a congressman from the First district of Nebraska, introduced into the naturalization law, by amendment of the law at that time, a provision making a language qual- ificaion take the place of the literacy test. Under the naturalization law as amended it became necessary for each foreign born person to learn the English language before he could be- come a citizen. Under the literacy test many of Mr. Kennedy's con- stituent 10 could ncither read nor write would have been disqualified. Common Language Necessary. It was and still is Mr. Kennedy’s jdea that because of the many dif- ferent countries from which America draws its population it was impossi- ble to have a common blood, but that it was therefore the more important | to have a common tongue. His amendment provided for this and to- day the foreign born coming Ameri- cans are in night schools everywhere learning the English language to| comply with the naturalization law.| This one bit of legislation has lent merc impetus to amalgamation of our | adverse citizenship than any other | one act. | Although Mr. Kennedy's speech | was for the most part nonpartisan ! and dealt with patriotic questions, he was roundly applauded when he made mention of the tariff and the hardship | it worked on the Nebraska farmer by. keeping his products on the free list while the products of the south ! are protected by a protective tariff. It was Mr. Kennedy’s view that a good thing ought to be given to all | parts of the United States and not | restricted in its operation to the fa- | vored states of the south. Chairman Thompson Presides. Mr. Kennedy was introduced by G. S. Thompson of Hershey, chairman of the Lincoln county republican cen- tral committee, and near his auto- mobile®while speaking ttood S. M. Souder, A. P, Kelly, A. ]J. Salistury and numerous other prominent re- publicans of North Platte. He left here in the afternoon for Lexington, where he will address a night meet- ing. County Fair Board May Refuse Fund Offered by County Sept. of Will the Dougias County Agricul- tural society accept the appropriation of the county commissioners after de- ducting~$2,930.60 under the law de- clared unconstitutional by the su-| preme court. | Secretary John McArdle said: “We | will refuse to take it.” | President Ed Agee said: “We'll think it over.” | The county commissioners have gasscd an appropriation of $3,145.40 for the agricultural society. Accord- ing to the law that provides an ap- propriation of 5 cents per capita pop- ulation of the county, the assgciation is entitled to §6,076. i When the 3-cent appropriation was increased to 5 cents in 1912, the qucs- tion was threshed out and the 5-cent award upheld by district court. The matter was appcaled to the supreme court by Attorney Ed P. Smith as a tax payer and the decision reversed. The 3-cent appropriation is now ef- | fective, according to the county com- | missioners, The agricultural asso- ciation claims the 5-cent pot. New Euildings for | Nine Months Are | Up to Last Year 4 | The total building operations in | Greater Omaha for nine months end- ing September 30 amounted to $5,266,- 062, which almost equals the total of 1915, which was $5,385,000. With three months of this year yet to draw on, the city building depart- ment is confident that the total for the year will exceed $6,000,000. During September 154 permits were issued, representing a building valu- ation of $715,705. The operations in September last year were 055. Another comparison in favor of this year is: First nine months of this year, $5,266, first nine months of last year, $3,724,875. September exceeded $63,000.
