Show HYPENATEOJMERICANS It seems ntraugo Indeed that the hyphenated Americans should cling so tenaciously to the countries of their birth, nfter having professed to r& iiouuco their allcglanco to them, nnd after having swprn allcglanco to this, the laud of their adoption. Such people peo-ple nro dangerous In any civilized community, and aro wholly unfit to bo regarded as doslrablo American citizens. citi-zens. Traitors aro shunned nnd dos-plsed dos-plsed by both God and good men, even the Dovl'l himself, would hesltnto vto trust them, lest they might betray him, and bring Borne ot his bc3l laid hcbemoa to nnught. Wo think that when Much persons as nro now under consideration, n"ro found conspiring against this government, govern-ment, to benefit and favor tho governments govern-ments whence they came, they should bo deported nt once, so they mny have a chanco to fight hi tho open for thoso whom they so persistently adek to favor and sustain. It Is no small or trifling thing to possess tho sovp- lgn rights of American Ameri-can cltlzcm 'la obtain, thoso rights and 4 ges wo gladly came o this favored land, where we could freely pnrtnUo ot tho comforts and blessings of life, which were so often denied us in tho lnnds of our nativity. When wo reflect upon lh8C things and properly consider the vast sacrifices sac-rifices ot blood and treasure that had to bo mndo by tho noblo heroes and heroines or this grand free government, govern-ment, before It was, wrested from kingly despotism nnd domination, how grateful wo ought to feel and how loyal and patriotic wo ought to be. To fight against the best Interests, or thin government that has set us oil our fnrt nnd emancipated us ffonr kingly and autocratic mlsriilo nnd ty-ranlcal ty-ranlcal domluntlon, proves plainly that thoso who do so me base, henrt-less, henrt-less, scuseless, moral weaklings .unworthy .un-worthy of public respect or of national nation-al protection and support. It Is sincerely to bo hoped -that the base unscrupulous zealots, who arc now plotting bo strenuously to' favor tho lands or their birth, will reconsider reconsid-er their foolish course, nnd hold In rcsorvo their present Ill-spent energy for tho future well-belug or their own homes nnd the fuluro homes of their posterity, nnd glvo their undivided allcglanco to tho land or their adoption, adop-tion, which him lcdecmed them from vassalngo nnd tho Iron heel of mon-archlal mon-archlal thrawhlom. Thoy may yet seo tho tlmo when nil their sympathy, and energy will ho needed for their own safety nnd protection at home. Instead of wasting It to roster dlssen tlonJf4Uid mischief both nt homo and abjoad. J- I' |
