Governor Bamberger's Speech Governor Bamberger analyzed correctly the Americanization problem. Foreigners who came to the United States to make it their homes should have dropped at once all allegiance to their native lands and become full fledged Americans, and the United States should have insisted from the very outset that a complete surrender of allegiance be made to the American flag. It is preposterous to believe that aliens in this country should be permitted to perpetuate the customs and habits of their native lands, keep alive sentiments that bind them to foreign shores, encourage love and devotion to a flag which neither offered them the political nor material advantages of their adopted country. Governor Bamberger is right in saying that foreigners in most cases owe nothing to the country from which they came. They fled these countries because America held out hope and relief. They found here conditions so advantageous that few of them ever returned. Most of ' them acquired a measure of wealth and comfort j which they never dreamed of possessing in their native countries. And yet. these very men and women, in an

hour of grave national crisis, instead of coming out unmistakably for their adopted country still

destroying free institutions and making the whole world bow to its autocracy. The American people have been far too lenient with these people, too forbearing and generous. They accepted with finality the statements of these persons that in the hour of national peril they would be faithful to the flag and the nation. Now, the tolerance of the American people is changing into a grim and determined decision to exact absolute proof of loyalty and devotion. Where this is lacking, the patriots are quickly taking action and demanding a manifestation of that loyalty which is commensurate with the benefits these people are enjoying. The New York Times believes the hour for determined action has struck. It says: Dead is the illusion long sincerely, held by many, perhaps by most Americans, that some mysterious alligation or alchemy blended into unity a heterogeneous population; that Americanism was miraculously bestowed on those who lived in America. The war has shown us great foreign islands in the country, centres and branches of hates and loves brought across the water, deliberate, long fomented, and persistent submission and allegiance to the interests of a foreign country. For nearly three years it seemed as if the United States was to many of its citizens a province of the German Epmire, and small provinces, cities, villages of Prussia or Germany still subsist in the United States. 'We can count too many of them in the Wisconsin election. In many states these German dependencies, these

Little Germanies, are found, in language, education, thought, utterly German.

Former Senator Lafayette Young of Iowa told the Americanization Conference at Washington of schools, thousands of schools ia the Northwest, where every day's session ends with the. singing of "Deutschland Uebery Alles," where "Die Wacht am Rhein" is better known than "The Star-Spangled Banner " schools where German text-books impress lies upon the children at that uncritical age when the utterance of the book ia gospel truth and the fresh, unincumbered memory and mind are likely to retain for life ideas then thrown into them. The German Emperor, the swaggering, mediaeval, divineright figure we know too well is set forth in these corrupting, dishonest German school books as a great and noble ruler and man. Germany, the feudal military state, the oligarchy of the drill stick, is represented as another America. Another speaker at the conference, Mr. Rich

ard Lee Metcalfe of Nebraska, sometime civil governor of the Panama Canal Zone, described

a similar Germanization in schools of his state.

Incidentally, as an illustration of Deutschthum

in Nebraska, he said that, a Nebraska German paper commemorated the Fourth of July by enriching its subscribers with "souvenir spoons" radiant with the counterfeit presentments of Wilhelm ,11, and Hindenburg, that savior of the empire whom Herr Ballin is said blasphemously to have called "that Wooden Ass with the nails in him!" These instances from Iowa and Nebraska may make more concrete and definite in our minds thoughts now becoming general, destined to bring changes indispensable in our system of education if America is to be a nation of Americans. "There as several things" said Secretary Lane at the conference, "which we have come upon recently which seem to those of us who have not been wise to be discoveries. The first is that we have a great body of our own people, five and a half millions, who cannot read or write the language of this country. That language is English. A million and a half are native-born." These native illiterates and the foreign-born ignorant of English must be instructed in it. It must be made the language of the country. It is not so at present, with all regard for Mr. Lane. The eighteen governors and other delegates at the conference adopted a set of resolutions recommending congress to pass certain legislation in the interest of Americanization. This is the vital one: In all schools ' where elementary subjects are taught they should be taught in the English language. Substitute for "should" "Must." There is the beginning of Americanization.

Watching Strangers The destruction by poison of valuable horses in Kentucky a few weeks ago and the mysterious death of cattle in Wayne county, also attributable to poison, both incidents being traced to German agents, shows too what length the Berlin government will go to attain its ends. The county council of defense has issued a warning which farmers ought to heed. No stranger has business on the land of a Wayne county agriculturalist. Report his presence to the defense council at once, and if necessary hold him until authorities arrive to investigate his excuses. Germany has been guilty of such atrocious

outrages against men and property that the

American farmers need not be surprised if its agents try to poison their cattle and interfere with their work.

By HAL POD Clem Carr likes to tell of the time that he and Frank Strayer went out on a little hunting trip In the -wilds of the foresta somewhere in "Wayne county. Clem says that they did not have a great deal of luck but finally did see a squirrel which scampered madly up a tree. Frank took a Ions and steady aim and luckily managed to hit the little animal bringing it tumbling to the ground as dead as a small town on Sunday. The two county officials went up to inspect their prize. '"Gee, I wouldn't have had to shot

him at all. Frank declared, according to Mr. Carr's story. "The fall would have killed him." Many Richmond people who read the Talladium are wondering what poor old Father Jiggs will do now that Dinty Moore has had to close up. Lewis Bow man said that he was driving his big car down town, the other day and stuck out his hand to signify that he intended to turn the next corner, when along came a flivver and ran right up his sleeve and bit hint. Ed Wcldner says that it is a funnything about a chicken. We eat the blame thing before its born and after it dies. . If Billy Sunday came to Richmond we wonder if many of our local citizens would hit the breakfast food trail.

sucn country now.

Sam Vigran declares that every time he takes a walk down town and sees some of these Richmond young ladies all painted up like a new house, he begins to believe that things that sometimes are, 'aint. It- wasn't so many years ago we could afford to have eggs for breakfast. Every so often we read in the Pal where German so-called heroes have been decorated with iron crosses. We trust the time is not far distant when the kaiser himself may be decorated with a ten ton slab of marble reading, "Here Lies, etc."

DINNER 5TORIEJ Michael Tusick saw an electric drive into a gasoline station and was so consumed by curiosity that he followed it to see what an electric could want of gasoline. "The lady who drove the car," he reports, "bought a gallon of gasoline to take home to clean an old sofa." Jones had engaged a new office boy a raw looking youth. One of the boy's first tasks was to copy a letter, and, as is the custom in lawyers' offices, the letter and copy were read over together. "Dear Sir," the boy read. "I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th ult " "Johnnie," interrupted Jones, "what does ult. mean?" For a moment an expression tht

was absolutely blank overspread the features of the raw youth; then it cleared, and a smile of conscious knowledge took its place. "Please, sir," he said, "it's what they say to the soldiers when they want 'em to stop."

CONSERVATION The other day my wife and I bought a bdbk Entitled "French at a Glance," and we , thought The best war to practice the language would Be to use it at table, asking for things. And eo we started right in. It took fifteen minutes to ask for Another cup of coffe, and five minutes To ask for one lump of sugar. And we had to pass the book back and forth each Ume. We bought another book and made a little Better progress by.havlng two books, But we still figure that we have saved Enough food during the week To put us In Bro. Hoover's Good graces for some time to come, And to feed three or four soldiers For a month. 1 Nothing like boosting our boys along. The following Item is snipped from the Greenfield (Iowa) "Free Press": "In a letter received by his wife, Louis Dash states that he is corporal at Fort Riley and will be promoted to sergeant this month. He has charge of 45,000 men." In the eastern papers there is a tremendous conflict being waged over the poor old "Star-Spangled Banner." The various complaints made by good, loyal patriotic critics are: It Is not singable. It is pitched too high for the average voice. The words are involved and hard to learn. It is too drawn out and laborious. It lacks dash and pep. Outside of that, we take it, the old song is allright and we'll keep it for a while just as it is. Never change anthems while crossing a war. "Prisoner, what have you to say for yourself?" "Nothing." "What is the charge against you?" "I am charged with being a German spy?" "Is the charge true?" "It is absolutely true, I am proud to say." "We beg your pardon. Officer, remove the handcuffs. We will Bend you to a nice internment camQ, where the weather is fine, and you will be fed and will have plenty of pleasant occupation. We will make it as pleasant for you as possible. At first we thought you might be some American criminal who had failed to make out his income tax report, and were about to send you to solitary confinement at Sing

Sing for twenty-five years." A good many family skeletons are being exposed to public view in these days of decollete waists and short 6kirts. Help! There is going to be an awful flood of bum French in this country when the soldiers get back. What is the kaiser going to do when it comes to rewarding the little anthrax and typhoid germs which have been over here doing his bidding? Can they make iron crosses small enough?

The old-fashioned guy to used to boast the size of his income is another victim of the present war. He is heard no longer in the land. Let the income tax march on, and we will soon have a pleasant country in which to live.

tomatoes, p

The tomato Is one of the most satis

factory of all the garden crops and one

that Is found In practically every vege

table garden. No matter how small

the garden space available. It is al

ways advisable to have a few tomato

Tines.

Tomatoes will grow in almost any good soil, but the soil should not be too high in nitrogenous matter as this will cause the plants to go to vine, rather than to fruit The plants should be started in the window bot

or in the hotbed, some six weeks be

fore time to set them in the open. For

best results they should be transplant ed at least once. It is possible to se

cure a crop much sooner by carefully

growing the plants Indoors In pots and transplanting to the open ground as soon as conditions permit. They should not be set in the open until

about two weeks after the last killing

frost. If set sooner than this, they should in all cases be protected from frost with a muslin cover or with boxes covered with glass or by other means. The pot-grown plants are especially desirable, as they may be brought to the blooming period by the time It is warm enough to plant them in the garden. If the plants are not to be trained, but allowed to lie on the ground, they should be set about 4 feet apart each way. If trained to single 6talk and tied to stakes or a trellis, they may be planted in rows 3 feet apart, and 18 inches apart In the row. If to be used for table purposes only, 25 plants under good conditions will supply the average family. If for canning, from 50 to 100 plants will be necessary. One hundred plants should supply sufficient tomatoes for present ue, and enough to can at leat 100 quarts. Under favorable conditions, tomatoes will continue to grow and bear for' the entire season, and it should not be necessary to set a late crop. U. S. Department of Agriculture.
