Show uu THIS COUNTRY OF OURS. In addressing the American Insti j tute of Banking at Portland, Oregon, j Governor Mabey devoted his time to a i I defense of American institutions and : I i he gave a warning that there has been pouring into the United Slates a great i utream of foreigners unworthy to be-! come American citizens. Dealing with the Constitution he said he lately had read a book which j claimed the Constitution was made by J rich men for rich men and it needed gevera reconstruction. I "At present there are others de mandlng that certain powers be taken away from the supreme court." .-aid Governor Mabey "Thit- soundH too much like the propaganda of Lenine and Trotzsky to be given Bober, se rious consideration by the American who knows his government America Amer-ica a land for the rich man? Rather h land in which men can get rich If this is not true, tell me why men don't enter into Mexico and Russia and Si beria and make a place fit for civlli-j civlli-j zatlon to make her seat. America is a land for opportunity and it applies with equal force to rich and poor." Those who are- not in harmony with i he Bplrit of our government should be shown the open door through which they entered. Changes In our government will be made, but they will come gradually and without disturbance, That is the strength of our government It operates oper-ates as does nature as a whole by gradual changes. |
