C, Andresen, Tyler, Minn. PA.GE 1 I NOTHING in the world is ab- solute or unchangeably, but ev- erj^thing is relative and is under unchangeable laws of nature. Nature lavrs of the organical world determine individuals, na- tions and governments manner of proceedings. The human beings are psycho-physical a product of condition and occasional circum- stances, and so are also nations. There are alterations, diversifica- eation, variableness, changeable- ness, relativity ; but there are co- herency in nature's household. Not a thing keeps its created form, unalterable ; but be chang- ed, alter by the surrounding na- ture's stimulating influence. Past PAGE 2 tini's.

That is consequential and ac- cording to natural and historical development and evolution.. Tliat will be the main factor by ihe youths appearance asd eon- scions i'orlli coming here in tha V. S. of America, equrilb^, parti- cnlarhf because those surronnd- ings tlicy have been influenced bv, and that foreign historical diversified national atmosphere they have imita'od are far from hem^ traditional American gov- ernmental in principles, ideas, ideals and purposes. ' U MEANWHILE, I have said, that the nature laws of the organ leal Vv^orld determine individuals and nations manner of proceed- T-iTtys and that we can not change the laws of nature, but nature can change us. But what is then education! Education is a special art of de- velopment, but v.'hat is then de- velopment? Darwin said : In all domains development consists in conver- sion from incoherence, uncertain, homogenious attitude to coheren- cy, certainty and inhomogenious- PAGE 4 Universally it can br^ niirlor- stooi that development consists, in a connected statutory series of alterations which together make ovo m itself complete whole, Yrhere a development takes piaee there is statutory coherence between cause and effect and a series of stipTilations and means for development. To abolish coherence between cause and effects we can not, BUT WE CAN CHANGE THE OEOUPING OF THOSE ON CERTATN OCCASION EXIST- JNO STIPULATIONS BY TAK- ING NATURES CAUSE AND EFFECT IN OUR SERVICES. To educate a human being is to ^oTT'iop it, and to use such means which exist in nature surround- in p-s and which are esneciallv a- r'aT3^ed To develop and form both nv'r^pT s^(\ phvsical quality, and il-^ro!;v help the purpose which ^xis^s in patnre and surroundings, 'Ti similarity with other human- h/-nin-s and that certain human PAGE 5 Education sliould have for its ])urpose to explain ^ovei'*nmc]it, .•Tid the iieccrMity of. enforcement ^'t the laws. How the govern- ment powers are divided, made, executed and interpreted. What nature laws control thetn. What alterations can be made satisfac- lory; and what recording to laws of nature are imposr^ible. Re- -onsibility for own and equally r-hers life, liberty and property. Feeling of national universality and solidarity, and v/hat that im- T:)ly. Respect for law and order, moral courage, truth, iionesiv, moral doctrine"^, national tracli- ^ 'on and what power- this is and have always been in mankind. Educative methods and princi- pU'S should train both physical and mental qualities. Instruction about the body and soul, disease?; prevention. Education should train instincts, eirect:"', feelings, wi-h fantasv. temi^eraments, the building oP characters. HI MEANWHILE, bv reading of PAGE 6 mankinds cultiirai hi: toiy we hr- come conscious, that education and means have been subordinat- ed by changeable physical laws ; and made and chang'ed by diver- siiied culture people 'r- under- standing of life, evolution, .na- ture condition and circumstances in different times and in histori- cal coherency, and after their geographical surrounding'. Educative means and method^v * have always been a product of condition and occasional circum- stances where people have tried ~to use imaginary means and me- thods without considering gov- ernmental tradition, circumstan- ces, nature's laws, have the result manifested itself in demoraliza- tion. The higher-^ grade of educa- tional perfection manifest itself in indivdual and nations precep- tons of solidarity, morality and justice. Tliese peoph'. socialises, who think to create the whole world after their principles imbodied in PAGE 7 tliese followino- \voi'ds -. LIBER- TY, SIMILARITY, BROTHER- HOOD, are making the mistake i>f their lives. These people wit^h to create a ^^ommnnitj' which will cripple tlie integrity .of the homes and fam- ily and the human beings, sonls, energy, progress, liberty and struggle for perfection. They will cripple the greatec^^ ideal ?ind power for progress and take ;;way hnman liberty, and create •'espotism, stagnation and de- moralization. Does not both past and present time^^ culture history with its many examples of the human be- ings creatino- of lofty ideals and r-urposes which have no founda- tion in the organical world and nature laws and the liuman be- rnffsi dissimilarity, egotism, make these ideal:' and purposes and communities impossibh\ and a fruitless, bloody and reactionary reduDlication and experience for mnukind. Liber! V can only be spoken PAGE 8 about vdiere liberty exit's irnrl'M* tbe laws of natnre and of gov- ernment where people respect life liberty and property of others lepaily as we}] for themselves. Social L-'milarity will never exist either brotherhood among beinc: . because dissimilarity is a nature law, that breeding- can rot chansre : but never abolish. DISSIMILARITY is the FOR- WARD ADVANCING REVOLC TIONARY, or REACTIONARY. ENERGICAL MOTIVE WHICH FORCE MANKIND TO BETTFR rNDFRSTANDING AND AC- T^^NOWI EDOMENTS OF THEM 8ELVFR- AND CONDITIONAL CIUCFMSTANCES. V>uf edneative methods and principles should become equally and universal ihmout the nation, respcetmtc tradition, of our union for coherency, equality in ideals a^^d nurposes, for the formation of tlio national charac' or in Am- erican nationality, for solidarity .iustincation and vindication of jrs-icc. Amerioanizaticn and na-- P^GE 9 tionalization socially, industrial- ly and educational can not be- come universal and enforced a& lon^ as fortj^-eight States have ■'cross purposes' in laAv -making-, law-enforcing and law-interpret- ing. I have said, that nations' indi- viduals is a product of condition and occasional circumstances which metaphorically, character- ize surroundings nature's' possi- iDilities in its impression and ex- pression, in their methodr^, prin- fiiples, ideals, languages, tradition history and culture. The creating of unreal, imagin- ary principles, ideals, morak' and purposes which of course have no foundation in surrounding cir cumstances, nature 'r^ laws, is the consequent stagnation or demor- alization. Those foreign-horn who work for preservation of their peculiar na+ional idea, principle, method,^ and purposes are alr^o making the mistake of their lives. These foreign-born are work- PAGE 10 ing, disorganizing^ against gOTpni mental tradition and evolution. These foreign-born, conr-.^rva- tive nationalists seem not yet to I'ecognize and acknowledge, that their foreign national souls must liave a foreign national body and surroundingr. under the govern- ments protection before the souls^ their methods, principles, ideas, ideals, morality and purposes can develop, in moral doctrines. But that does and can not exis;^. therefore are the result and ad- ^'ancins" proa'ress accordingly fol- lowed by the undermining of their methods, ideal and purpo^^s and stagnation and demoraliza- tion follows. A foreign farmer coming to this country cannot farm on for- eign principles and methods ; but must get his r.-^ed and farm bv American methods and princi- ples if he does not he will grow chaff, and there is comparative similarity in the soulr- worlds. Meanwhile, the greatest ideal to work for is educative Ameri- PAGE II canization of the many diversi- fiod nationalities in tlie United States, subjection of the foreig-n traditional tendency and doc- trines like the bolshevik Rush.ian thistle which is injurious and de- structive for the American na- tion. Universality and r-:milarity in educational principles, me- thods, stipulations and means in natural, national and traditional American nationality, for solid- arity, asrv'milation and justifica- tion social, industrial and educa- tional, should be everybody's ambition and purpose ; but at the same time acknowledge climate and physical circumr-tances which according and probable necessi- tate diversification. IV HOWEVER, there has been used many different methods and principles in educational training thru changing hir-^orieal times. Education has mostly been as a self-defense against nature, more or less har- the education success- fully subjugated nature, and PAGE 12 made nature serve tliem by gTOu]> iiig* definitively cause and effect. The education has been pietis- tical, misanthropical, der^potical,, philanthropical, anthropomoph- Gus and humane. They have tried to humalate the children^ shrivel their bodies and souls as in the middle aa:e intermixture of barbarity and humanity, because their nature were bad, wicked. Tliey have elevated and g-lorified their children because they were created in God's picture. But on one educative principle have most prominent educators- been in harmonical understand- in o- it does not matter what un- elerstanding* they had of methods- and childrens nature, and that was: A HEALTHY BODY FOR A HEALTHY SOUL. But how does the modern Am- ericans understand education and the childrens nature, and what educative means- and me- thod are they usino-? The modern Americans acknow ledcre the neeessitv of healthw . p\aKi3 hy^^ieal condition and suri'ouncl- : p^s for the good and iiealthy luoral development, and a heal- - Hiy body for a Iiealthy sonh Tile modern Americans ai-e for eonsolidated schools, and are al- ways building great "school houses in modern sanitary architee+ur-^ Avhere instruction • is given in agriculture, commerce, physiolo- gy, hygiene, chemistry and allied F.eienees also in arithinetic, draw- ing, Avriting, declamation, history I'oetry. music ; but so far as pub- lic and high schools are concern- ed no instrnction in THE CIVIL OOYFENMENT of the U.

AMEEICxV savs of DISLOYAL- TY in PUBLIC RCHOOLS '^ Af- ter twenty years of snoring, about one-tenth of one per cent of tlie American people have aroused sufficiently to realize that for twenty years the greedy Huns have been thrur-'dng and driving and worming the Ger- man language into American Page !4 jniblic scliools; and along with it lluTo have licen jammed into the- hands of American school pupils Juindreds of tlionsandr- of Ger- man readers which openly and "brasenly extol the Kaiser and military power of Germany and pan-G ermanism generally. ' ' Meanwhile, for bodily develop- ment and perfection are used o:ymnasties and many different phyrvieal culture methods and sy- stems. The moral qualities in char- acter building which mostly are- f-^^'eloped is self control, truth- fulness and hone^-'y, but educa- tion as a rule thruout the coun- try have been specification and commercial mostly without that moral training Avhich would make nn iedal law respecting Ameri- ca 7i citizens. But it should be acknowledged rj: parents do not, that what the '• hoo;s can correct and habituate in the building of characters is r disorder, indocility, obedience, falsehood, vulgar violence, defi- P\GE i5 «nce, malignity and thievishness that about the r^ehools educative domain but of course schools can awaken ambitions, create ideals and the will to serve their coun- try and not foreign counti'ios. The pioJit'cr American;, in forming their schools and me- thods, had the experience of the mankinds encroachments against the human nature and the conse- ]e nersonality tow^ardr- others, his own personality and national p-oyornmont.

VI MEANWHILE most govcrn- mentf' of the world has been a re- sult of accident; but the United States government is the result of forethought and design, and is the most representative govern- ment in 'exi;V ence. The necessity of government consists in the facts that because human beings always desire to live in commun- itief-; and because human beingr, are selfish by nature, and w^ere it not for the law to hold them in check, no man Avould be safe in either person nor property. The strong will oppress the weak ; rigrht and justice would yield to might and cunning and crime would not receive no punirhment except thru personal revenge. There must therefore exist a power to regulate the relations between individuals and a power to make, execute and enforce the laws, and that power is govern- ment. P--.G'£ 2 2 The strug:g:io for exi'-laiice, ^nd the struggle between right and wrong, is the fundamental idea of the human being's perceptions and understandings of govern- ments, jur-tices and morality, and the satisfaction and well-being of these two primative instincts: self-preservation and propaga- tion Vvdiieh utters itrolf as hunger the second as love and from vdiicli religion, etiiical and asthc- tical feelings have developed. The~ highest object of all gov- ernments is the adminir-'ration of justice, and the individual equal- ity and right is protection of life, liberty and property together with the necessary conditions ; e.nd. protection of them means.' not only individual welfare, but the exi'^'''ance and prosperity of the erovernment itself. The duty of the national gov- pmment and administration which has suprem.e authority over all matters which concern the peo- pV of the nation as a whole is to educate equally, syr.'ematically P-IGE 2 3 \he i;eo])Ie to u'Tderstancling of its principles and constitutional laws; and what there is posc-ible for government to accomplixsh, and what there is impossible, and that similarity in educative prin- eiple:- and methods are necessary for abolition of disimilarity which exist in nature so far as that can be done by education, for coher- crey, solidarity and justification, and that ignorance is a friend to unjust government while intelli- gence ir- a friend of justice, and 1]iat only in a government where the people be educated thru one language, and in similarity to each other will be a government where right and justice will pre- vail, and the greatest good to the most people. The government of the U. S. is a republic; not only the nation; but each state in the Union. States must not make lawr- wdiich conflict, and are in opposition to ^h^ n?)^ional laws of the nation. It is the people representative rrovernment and the govern is ac- cornplished of the three Dorrer'-: LEGISLATUKE, or laYr-maklns EXECTTTTVE, or law-enforcing^ JTDICTAL, or la'Y-interpreting" ^.Fost nations of the world nev- er separated, these p»o\vers, and i-peocnized their separate domainr* , ^ind difference between moral. jiT^'iee and religion. These na- tions or jiTOveriiments and thes-^- f'livis^'onal departments, wer^» mostly m one person's control who attributed their power to Ood dvA consequent!}^ what they doTG against him they done a.j^ain s^ God. These rulers took the li- berty to m.ake, execute and en- force laws according^lv. which described how they should think, believe, -clothe themselves-, act nnder certain conditions, even forever to live on that place they were born. It is not so in the United States of Amf^rica. it is a s:overnmen^ : OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOPt THE PEO- PLE. The people of the United States: P.\GE 2-5 of America have right to think, eliove and. move, clothe them- selves as they wish. There is freedom of religion, and the Congress must^not make an}^ religion state religion. State and chnrch are separated and there is no religion^' instruction in the public schools. The government acknov/ledges their right to govern and punish individual acts and encroach- ment upon the moral and legal laws circumference and not the man'?:- conscience. Sectarian, religious, dogmatic and scientific morality have most- ly been in contrast. Religion has i^s power, and consistr- in the be- lief of the Vv^onder. While scien- tifical morality, which is the foun dation for our moral and legal laws, has it in the understanding and acknowledgement of phyc^i- cal and mental condition neces- sity and if the people shall sub- jugate and control their inclina- tions, bad habits, must they have understanding of the evil effects F..G3 20 f)n themselves, fellow citizens and g^overnmeiit. Ecclesiatical dogmatical ortho- doxy believe in the power of their belief, withont the necer.-^ary con- ditions and explanations and con- sequent of bad habits, evil influ- ence and effects on themselves, fellow citizens, next generations and governmentp'. Church and Christendom have* mostly been contrasting-, and that ecelesiatical dogmatical or- thodoxy have been the reason to many bloody and barbarical wars: in the past times, therefore are r'ate and church separated. Morality is relative, universal sense or season if we by morality understand and accept sens3 or reason as a universal, conscien- tious, natural scientifical and traditional faculty, which har- manical and rolidarical control and regulate a nations natural, traditional conscientious and svmpathetical will, ideal and pur- poses, which make the nation to* a natural willingly, responsible,. P.\GE27 idealized coherent and .'^•atisfied community. Justice is the same principle ae oepted, divisined, established and executed as the necesoary punishment as a self-defense a- gainst violence and encroach- ments executed againr^-t govern^ ments moral and legal laws. The government of the United States of America is founded up- on the mankinds scientifical ex- perience in governing and is a re- r-ult of that experience. Where, in a nation the under- standing of jurisprudence moral and justice is barbarical develop- ed do punishment utter itself as hate, vi^hereas there on highest developments status punishments perforce as a raction, as the ne- ce~'3ary self-defense of from the people and government because of violence and encroachment against moral and legal laws. There is no encroachment from the national government, quite contrary; but there is, and has always been encroachments from F GK 9.B the C'tates upon the rational gov- ernment and conslitutional laws. Divisional departments differ- in the difiierent states, in lav- making, enforcing and interpret- ing, soeial, edueational and in- dustrial, not becan:o of climate and physical circumstances. Many states have difierent laws about immigrants and oc- eupation.:>, their right to vote on their first citizen papers. There is different laws for marriage, punishments of crimes and crimi- nals, about parochial schools, and the use of foreign language in Fchools, books and newspapers. If you go from one state or com- munity to another you will see signs: ''Hier sprich man Deutsch''' and a hubbub of other diffusive- ness, as, ''English spoken here.'^ They make laws for minorities to suit certain persons and partiea and to protect foreign propagand ism. I shall believe, that the U. S. ;0-overnment should Vfork for- more simalaritv in law making. PAGE 29 'iiforcing and interpreting be- cauro disimilarity is a nature law, and that also the fundament- al reason and necessity of gov- ernment, which also increaser- the struggle for existance, and, in the peoples struggle for social similarit3% and the United States ;« a country where EDUCATED DISIMILARITY prevail in all its CONTRAST and DIFFU- SIVENESS. We can not entirely change or abolish disimilarity ; but we can do romething by educational and statutory means and methods ; group the existing conditions and circumstances ; the natural and educational cause and efuect of di'.'milaritv to serve us and our purnose: ASSIMILATION, AM- ERICANIZATION of the m.any diversified races. There is plenty of contrast in life and our purpose should not be TO IMPORT and DEVELOP MORE as Alien-rocialists, nation- ?^^s and internationals doctrines do but v:e must create and de- PAGE 30 velop national similarity and fed- eration (as the farmer::- have be- gun to understand) and that, for the formation of the peoples char- acter tor justification in moral and justice for order, coordina- tion, coherency and solidarity. MEANWHILE the people of the U. S. have the right to take and hold property what they can take and hold legally; but not to vs'rong others in their right pro- perty, or murder, steal, rob etc the ton commandments are c-^ill in force. There is freedom of speech pnd the press; but they must not abuse ^-uch liberty, and they must not slander or publish Vv'hat there injures peoples morak- rr to maliciously attacking a per- son's reputation, or blacken the memory of the dead : ridicnle up- ^-n the Christian religion. There is right for peaceably a-^-^embling and the rieht of petition the gov- enrnment for redress of grievan- ces, to repeal oppressive laws, e.^^r^ enactment of new one^ There is no statutorv libert-v* P.\GE 31 for free love, polygamy, anarchy sedition and treason against gov- ernment and the people. There is no statutory liberty for opeak- ing and printing Socialism's, I. W. W. 's and Bolshevism 'C' doc- trines to help their destructive work for demoralization of the U. S. ; but that alien revolution- ary, evil element are working if not evidently, then secretly ex- citing, destroying and poiconing in books, newspapers both in for- eign and American language the youths the integrity of homos, schoolf. and government. The enemy of our free institu- tions have unhindered come in- side our gate, and benefited also with religious, cultural, national and international propagandism'^- so that every political, paralyti- ca!, nervous reflex movements evolve the same pathological and rtholoQfical state wliich becomes chronical and firmly er-'^ablished in our body polite, and there seems not to be any remedical cure which has univorsal reco^- PAGE 3 2 nil ion of those deplorably re-- iiex movements, said to be of Teutoun, Slavic-li, Han and Vik- ings propag-ated and descended blood. Tiiese movements are felt ev- erywhere among the people, in l!ie homes,, churches, schoolr-, in lni!:iness, in politics, in law-mak- ing, enforcing and interpreting* thruout all divisional depart- ments, laws are made but no en- forcing and interpreting, no re- action in the government of the proDle. People are theorizing about the reason to the present unrest and many contrasting phenom.e- r^ns in public life, Sancta Sim- pi Titas. we speak about "unrest"' and theorize whilst we import and inject in the "melting pot"' ^>-erTiic?il disimilar material. It has been poured in, in a never eroded stream, and the chemj'st sh'^eping on duty, only awoke V hen that unequal material over- f'ov.'ed and endanorered surround- ings, and what did he do thenf PAGE 33 He did not jis a good ciii'inisr would do consider the chemical leason to Avhy the material can not crystalize; but he only clamp- ed down the cover, fell asleep again stupefied of the "melting pot's'' sterility and cockney at- mosphere. VIII Moreover, to get away from the existing hubbub ,of contrasting paralytica! nervous reflex move- ments which characterize our public life, and manifest and ut- ter itcolf thruout all government- al departments; our literature, induC'try and' culture to more similar, natural, normal and har- monious conditional develop- ments characterizing especially honest and serious minded peo- ple. The&3 movements and pheno- mena are p^vchologically not a result and consequent of the war and reconstruction period ; but a result of our past and hasty so- cial, industrial and educational development and evolution. P\GE 3 4 Political graft and boasting:, dishonesty, race hatred, cla:'3 hat- red, consciousness, diversifie I ^'ate rules, city rules, labor rules^ minority rules, treason and trea- sonable utterings, allegiance witli criminals, the foreign borns man- ifest and educated dic-iimilarity, the increasing of insane, feeble- minded, deaf, blind, crippled race suicide, immoralities and di- vorces, self-raicide, self-justice, accidents, acts of violence, as- sault, holdings, strikes and van- dalism in destruction of life and property, and not to forget the numerous crimes committed which the indolent and indiffer- ent people protect and habi tuate does not impres"- us as a respon- sible people to the government. These dissimilar, diverc^'fied movements, indictable offenses, photological and pedagogical im- moralitier-' which care free and in- efficiency of the past brings forth and combine with the present fime further deveToDs and creates: disparage mentr; disorganization. PAGE 35 disrespect for law and order, in- stability, race prejudice, absurd- ity, quarrelsomeneC'3 and unex- pectedness, develop insanity", fee- blemindedness in the weak and faicide in the strong, hypoerancy scruples eceptisism, self-justice and egoti^'Hi in uneducated and un-responsible individuals and unsympathy, anarchy, incoheren- cy and unsolidarity in our gov- ernment and on the formation of the people's habito and character. And as the great American Theo- dore Roosevelt said: "The Amer- ican people can only learn by •catastrophes." The great American in whoo3 administration was made, enforc- ed and interpreted many federal laws, and who was an enemv of incoherency, and who by his fear- lessness, straightforwardness and righteousness electrified the whole nation to moral acting and unionism. Because Theordore Roo-^^^velt as a great statesman and educa- tor always understood and recog- and universality in law-makinir, ent'oreincr and interpreting, in language, lliots, ideas, idea-s: principles, belief custom, bccau o it develops coherency, sympathy Yoiuntairiness, love, colf-sacrifice and solidarity. Different language, nationality tradition color; different belief, custom and religion ; different social occupations and livlihoodb and culture have always been great obstacles and hindrance^i for coherency and f^ympathy among the sexes, individuals and among nations in mankind's his- torical evolution and develop- ment. Internationalism, brother- hood and similarity will never exist among the nations of the world because those national bar- riers which they have evolved, metaphored and developed and which consist in language, cus- tom, ideas, principles, methods- temperament, art, inventions, in- dustry, literature in their peculi- ar national character and culture- is a result and consequent of na- P.\GE 37 tional, educational and historical evolution and development, which can partly be changed but never completely abolished unde-r the tvime geographical condition and circumstances without terrible result which have been tried once in France and at the present in Russia and aC' the mankind's cul- ture history exemplify, and no- body in those nations wanted it abolished (of courc^e with the ex- emptions of conquerors and an- archists) because their peculiari- ty eC' or national barrier they in- stinctively built to great perfec- tion was for their own self-defen- se and for their conditional struggle for existence. Thoco nations instinctively and intellectually wanted similarity and universality as a criterion of truth in forming their nature ha- hits and characters to coherent, equal and satic^^ed communities as conditions and circumstances could accomplish. That i^- the real cause of nation al barriers built between nations PAGE 3 5 and therefore internationalism will onh^ bring- chaos to them b% many people are" still inr.'sting and to be their ideal for the hap- ])iness of mankind. Those nations' intentions and purpocos have always been to keep contrast, dissimilarities away from the people in general for their own good and from harmful influence on their inner a^airs which foreign influence mostly creates. IX However the United States of i\merica is a country where all contrasting foreign races, diffen- siveneos and educated disimilar- ity from the whole world meet, prevail, rub elbows and imitate each other, and where foreign born dissimilarities and its m-any r-'ded nfluence is felt everywhere and bear on, if not control our politics, business, industry, com- merce, home, church, school in law-making, enforcing and inter- preting and very few of our eongrec-smen and state law mak- PAGK 39 ers have moral courage to ac- knowledge it and stand up and fight for American principles against Alien voters. Every year about 500,000 aliens become voting citizenr. of 1he United States and as I under- stand that under the present re- gulation of naturalization the most dir'"'oyal have more oppor- tiiuity and encouragement to be- come citizens than the loyal. The Uniteed States present de- velopment habituates more trea- son and dic-'oyalty than honesty, inteofrety and loyalty, more un- patriotism than patriotism. And I think that the govern- ment of the people, by the people and for the people are still inten- ing to in;iect more disimilar ma- terial in the alreadv overflowing "'melting -not" of humanitarian rea^'^n auvd to such a great extent that the imitation becomes real dangerous, even endanger the sleeping chemist on dutv, "they niDv e^^en ha^^e tlT^ir bpo blov/n away from_ under them if they do PAGE 4D not wake up in time. But the old American popula- tion of the U. S. that fifty mill- ion block of Anglo-Saxon tradi- tion founded by men of their blood, belief, temperament and habits doe£' not want to be loited or railed at. They do not want or need more material injected^, they also have children of their own, and they do not want or need their national barricade- which the foreign, born put up in their settlements to keep out Am^ ericanism, quite contrary. The American's purpor-s and ideals is especially and equally to abol- ish all those contrasting- and con- flicting manifec>tations and meta- morphose those racial and nation- al peculiarities and traditional tendencies among- the foreign born in accordance with our con- stitutional laws, and that oath they took to become an Ameri- can citizen for c-imilarity and" uniformity in ideas, ideals, prin- cirjles, methods and purposes for- their own ^ood and ao- Americaib' tradition history and culture evo- lution contain for unionism, soli- darity, justification and vindica- tion of justice. "Wake up Americans! conc-id- er where you are. You are sur- rounded by snakes that you in your folly have taken in out of the cold, warmed at your fireside and that now are all ready to strike you and your children." Thebe peculiar ideas and evil doctrines which are created im- ported and fantastically develop- ed and metamorphosed and exist among advanced Socialists, I. W. W.'f' and the Bolsheviks must be subjugated and educated to har- monious subjection of our govern mental and fundamental laws. Thev must learn and recognize the fruitless and fantaC'tical in their proceedings : that people must not have what they earn, that thev must be forced and tended like children and forced like slaves to srive the money they make to nationalized women and to thoco Vv^ho have the slave J'AGE 42 whip in their intended workin;^ people's republic; but so far as it eoncerns the United States thej will by "might make right,"" *'frightfulness" by criminal vio- lence and terrorism overthrow and create a new governmental order contrary to all civilization, nature, science, tradition and cul- ture developments of the United States. They want to destroy a natural and historical development, which will create despotism and chaotic conditioner by cruel and brutal methods; they want such educa- tional perfection which is ovir self defense against natures de- structive influence to be lessened. Revolution, brutality, blood flowing are the words every "Ad- vanced Socialist, Anarchists, I. W. W/s and the BoIshevikf:> like to flourish witl^ and express. "We must at the first favor- able opportunity proceed to an immediate rv-^izure of all means of production and make the working- class masters of all general weal- PAGE 43 th. At the same time we must mercilesr-ly destroy all remains of government's authorit}-." ''De- stroy all legal papers pertaining to private ownership of property. In the work of destruction we must be mercileos, for the slight- est weakness upon our part may cost the working classes- a whole sea of needless blood." These people wioh to create a revolution which brings only fa- mine, pestilence, wrecks produc- tion and distribution and brings chaos to civilization that man- kind bar- worked on for thousands of years. X If we look .for the cause of the unrest which exists among intelli- gent and conscientious thinking people, we muot acknowledge and recognize that educational dis- similarity, tradition, language and immigration and as a conse- quent of this: our hasty social, industrial and educational deve- lopments, which again creates and develops disrespect for law, PAGE 44 or nor and nnexppctPcliiGss and make clar^ses and races segregate- and unionize according to tlieir interest and ismilarity and that hasty im-looked' for development and unexpectedness gave no time for reflection and reaction to get that necessary fore^ght which is philosophically and metaphysical- ly necessary for succeDsful gov- ernments. These egotistical and thought- les"' people who work for immi- gration are not considering these conditions : our over production, want of employments, unionism and revolutionary tendencies to uproot our civilization. Thero classes of people who' work for immigration think only of their own benefit and not what benefits the nation. That is : first those who want cheap labor for their industrial undertakings and land owners, r'''eamship agents and those who- will c^ain commercial benefits from the immigrants; secondly: those- revolutionary people who under=^ PA.GE 47 -Stand the immigrants (and there is truth in it) as handy took- for their revohition and their "work- ing people's republic," and those alien propagandists who also un- derstand the immigrants as a handy tool for furthering of their language propagandism, and thirdly : the political grafter and voter seeking among the ignorant and also with him the indifferent and indolent people who never x2ared to think independently on conditions as long as they not forcibly interfered directly with them. The federation of labor depends on their unions but can they de- pend on them by increasing of immigrants? I think not. The United States of America haC' for many years friendly ac- commodated and allowed immi- gration of about a million yearl}^, have given them opportunities and the diadem of American citizenship ; but these immigrants have not become a:.3imilated, but ignorant of American ideals and P\GK 48 institutions and are more loyal to the land of their birth than to tho T'r.ited States. The World War har. evidently unveiled it. Their disloyalty and their destruction of life and property, their blow- ing up of ammunition factories, derailments of trains, destroying of ships, assassination^', causing striken, worked against recruit- ing and enlistm^ents, incendiary fires, and their disloyalty to the government before and after our entrance in the War make bitter facts. They have been pouring into- the United States in a never end- ing rtream increasing and redup- licating the war for existence manyfold far natives, and with their increasing numbers they have made might their right dis- honestly and contrary to Ameri- can tradition and national evo- lution. They came to the United States to get rich quick many time;:;- without considering what means, they V\^ore using as the pioneer PA.GE49 history of the States indicates. They flocked together for protec- tion in accordance with their rimilarity without hindrance from the government; the governments left them to do as they pleased, ^nd after a while when financial conditions improved, surrounded themselves and cherished in their remembrance the secondary ef- fects of that national world where from the}^ emigrated. Most of them have not w^anted to undert'tand even considered their allegiance and duty to the United States. They have mostly propagandeered and conspired secretly and in public gatherings again&t American ideas and pur- poses and forced their American born children to live and breathe the same foreign atmosphere even in the third generation without wanting to understand American ideas-, institutions and purposes. They have formed foreign alle- giance and have been working for the overthrow of our government =as the pro-Germans and appendix FAGE 50 of other nationalities, and do noi believe they have changed their characters, and that the amputa- tion of kaiseric>m in Germany and the replacing of a republic wood piece makes any difference^ it has as before Kaiseric-m 's reflex movements and they are still in line to c>3rve Germany Avhenever there is occasion for the need of German power in America. And their Russia-Germany Alliance is not a5 ever^^body now can nder- stand a Fata Morgana or Don Quixote idea. They have made their own lit- tle governments and their educa- tional means and methodc' have been foreign, peculiar, national and historical and placed hund- reds and thousands of German reader"- m the American public schools", which made the children unconscious of their native right, love and duty to the United States The parentr> as well as their children have not learned to love- and cherish American ideals, in- stitutions and history. They have gI:o explained ' to their children that they could not become Am- erican, but only of that national- ity from which they came. Most of the immigrants are without ph^^siological and psychological understanding and believe their coul to be an immaterial ''sub- stance" in sangvinical under- standing, and those propagand- istC' want them to make believe as promising outright for two souls individualism, foreignism and for further barricading against Americanism (of course there are many thingo which go under the guise as Americanism.) Many have become rich on the fruitful American soil and op- portunities which even make idiot;:; rich also and riches have given that former or past subju- gated individuals might, which they true to their nature, used to ■subjugate others Their Jesuitical understanding and proceedings which they use to subjugate others for their own criminal purposes which utter PAGE 52 itself in throwing themselves over family life and r'3crets which are not in our statute books, but onlv as a self-defense and which imi- tater.. the unconscious j'ouihs, and. at the same time has an evil in- fluence on them, and vrhat those people very well know from ex- perience just to draw the youths: down to their level of moral r-tag- nation, and they never think about giving other parents' child- ren a helping hand v/hen occa- sion demands it for moral educa- tion and guidance. They have in many places made the rival school a breeding place for im- morality and foreignir-m. They have even propagandeered and legalized in many States compul sory instruction of foreign lang- uage, the settlement foreign lang- uage which also ir> the potentate -<^ -he settlement, and which alsa makes it a compuk>ory law. The foreign-born can be separ- ated and classified into three^ g"rouT^"«: First the serious mind- ed who have segregated and bar- ricadet llie]nsc4ves from others, because they believed and under- stood that they by segregation would be a better American citi- zen and by prec-ervation of their language, religion, and tradition; secondly those hypocrites who support everything foreign for business rea:on, and at the same time would be Americans for business rea.con and in accident- al occasions ; thirdly those who honestly and eonfi'Cientiously wish to become American in ideas, principles and purposes and sup- port everything American, be- cause they believe in American- ir^-m and know that Americans need their moral support, and that, to become an American is self-education and that self-edu- cation as an American first in reality begins, and for that mat- ter all .c-elf -education, when he forgets evil habits and tendencies and their national peculiarities and develop and habituates new range of perceptious and pre- PAGE 54 sentaticnc-, new views of them- seives and snirciLnding and so tionc^ presentations and views gets siipreme control over their con- science. I am not thinking and classifying those people and pro- pagandists who comec^ to this' country to demoralize it and over throw the governments and those w^ho work for foreign countries so as to keep control over it and ::o that they can use their power when political reason demands it for the benefits of those countries. But as a rule, that conserva- tive foreign nationalir-^. disease has become firmly established be- cause of governments stupidity and indifference to its foreign born population and their doinsro still believing to govern thru poli- tical parties, and on account of that needful and forceful asser- tion to the contrary', so that many and especially certain races ridi- cule everything American they of cour'-o can not classify and define. Manv of those people have al- co at the same time dischargedi P^GE 55 »4"^4HH--§"f4-»'f'S^»4"M'»» 44 fl I I I I -every moral principle wliicli they before had recognized in the land of their birth as ,.: necessary and as inciimbrns in thir.. country, they have no respect for any- thing of moral value and univer- sality, and no respect and admir- ation for ^^merica'i:' great men and heros, to whom we owe ev- erything of comfort, who gave i-!S a flag, country, history and valuable tradition. Others again separate moral from ,iu^''ice and justice from moral, because of their interwov- en religious morality and preju- dice, which foreign government- al authority has made them for- cibly believe contain the only truth. They want combination of state and church, and religion in the school, and do not under- r-'/ind seientifical morality, but still they seldom live up to reli- gieus principles in their homes and in their bu vness and occu- pations. Many of those have no respect for law and order and they praise PAGE o9 only that liberty which consic'^^p; in the emancipation -of moral, laws, honor and truthfulness. It seems- and it is- a psycho- physical fact, that people of good liabits and characters when they come over here under different climate, physical and pcyehologi- cal condition and circumstances develop bad habits and evil thots ai)d that their remembrance, &3- condary effect, wish to oust or not remember their experience- combined with feelings and pre- ceptions of pain; but only in the end of their lives do they becom.e con^oious of it, and with it valu- able educational experience, that they should have had before for moral education of their growing- children, but they only want to remember and idealize, love and cherish their feelings v,diich is: psychologically combined with nrecpptiori'- of pleasure and tra- dition from the land of their birth Many of the immigrants do not want nor care if their children be' come properly educated in moral. PA.GE 57 prmeiples; others think themsel- ves jur-tified in having their two language schools, the settlements language and potentate believing that they can make it brighter for their children to habituate two co:itrao-'ing languages, which is impossible. XI The immigrants have been com ing to this country not unlike a great migration of tribeC'. They have brought some money, made money and increased the nations wealth many billions, which we unfortunately had to spend in the World War." The immigranlr- have broken the soil, made homes and cities in the wilderness and created over-produc?tion, unemployment bv our har-^y industrial and par- ticular culture development with- out foresight and reflection and Rs a consequence they have de- pended on foreign trade and ships to carry our over-production to m.arket, which trade we now for many year-? will be Vvdthout, be- PAGE 5B cause of the international condi- t-ion, our distances from, the mar- ket, extravagance, national bar- riers and reiornis, without con- r.'dering consequences: reduction of incomes for the farmer on whom our industrial develop- ments and progress depend. Thirty yearS' ago the United States had not as many machine making factories as it has now, and theoe machine making factor- ies are making machinery of all kinds, for all industrial under- takings by the millions which r-u^plant the laborers many per- cent. The farmer laborers are migrating to the- cities to help to make machinery which supercil- iously supplanted them on the farm, and it ir- the same ratio in all o^her industrial undertakings. "For the first time in this f^ountry'p h's'ory mo-e than half the population is living in the cities. Factory workers and thos^ engaged in nrofc^^ional servicer outnumber those dir'^ctlv denendl ent on the soil for livlihood," PAGE 59 Cities grew at a rate of 23.6 per cent. The growth of rural sections war- 3.1 per p-ent and still we have a chronical over-produc- tion of farm products and if the farmer can not get any living price for his product he can not l3uy machinery nor hired help Price fixing on farm products which best r^erve the purpose con- sidering our national and inter- national commerce and condition for the farmer, cities and manu- facturers* i^....-. tU^h «i If we would conscientiouS'Iy compare the Dast, near past and the present time wouldn't we un- derstand an^ recognize that there ]V, a ^reat difference in our social industrial and educational devel- opments, which especially and particularly can not allow more immigrants without dire result. The United Stater^ is not China ?>s somebody used to illustrate. "We can not support a''- large a -nopulation either, nor any other ^'^reio'n nation, hut the United States of America with a peculi- PAGEe) ar and hasty development which can not, or be made to, support as large a population ar- old for- eign countries which allow very little of industrial advancement which would supplant the labor- ers. Unler.3 the United States industrial development should ad vance backward and use China methods, wooden plow& etc. but that again would make superflu- ous the laborers in the factories and the citieC'. Farmers, cities, manufacturers must co-operate and not stand as enemies to each other. T>iere is plenty of land in the U. S. about 8.50,000,000 acres, of this wece improved in 1910 480,- 000.000 acres. There may be, ac- cording to governmental report, from 600 to 700 million acrer.- of land lef^ suitable for iri!prove- ment. Of the agriculturally suit- able land is the forest and cut over land which take muscle and energy to improve and money al- • ,- • -^-niYi-n lanH which has first to- become drained,, also very expen- P-\GE 61 sive; and irrigable land which has first to I ecome irrigated, and that will cost about 2000 dollarr', and is the only federal homestead land left and it must be remem- bered that production dir.tribu- tion and transportation are very expensive and laborers shall- ako have living wages. We have plenty of foodC'tuff but without work and money we can not get it, and there is not and will only be very little work if we get more immigrants, -neith- er for them or natives, and we must rememxber alr-o that our in- dustrial development can not be changed to be as in old countries and that the immigrants produce 90 per dent more than he can consume. The United States of America is a pioneer nation wiiich in a short time har-- conquered tract- less wilderness and a new world, but which r-till reflect in its hasty develonment and evolution, pio- 7^eer characteristic both social, industrial, educational and phy- PAGE62 sicallv. XII The foreign born work for pre- servation of their language and culture, who organize and barri- cade againS't Americanism, and who from their own little govern- ment, with methods and princi- ples and who want to impose their language and culture on the American people and overthrow our government with methods and principles created and meta- morphos-^d on foreign soil, must first honestly remember and be obedient to the oath they liberal- ly gave to become American citi- zens : secondty, that their propa- gandism create dir^harmony, dis- organization, injustice, self -jus- tice and moral stagnation and de- moralization hmonsr them^-'^lves, ru'l that the barricades they have bi^il+ can not stand against Am- erica's natural and traditional evolution ; and thirdly, that thev help and support both directly ri-»'l iridirectlv that evil revolu- tionarv element in their inoane^ PA.GE 63 A ^ ^ »i»» »4 . f I fr. 9 .i«»>M»^ I S I 1 1 ■» ♦ » destr-uctive vandalism to over- throAV our government, and that languages are not only spoken and written words, but ps^yeho- physical a part of the human be- ing's organism and the expres- Ron of the soul, and that the Am- ericans do not want a many-soul- ed nation, a Babel Tower, ^'a poly glot boarding house." with many ■sided foreign window?, without any bright and traditional Amer- iefln window, who do not break off political earthouakes from Eur one, and that the many di- versified languages which prevail are different contraF-.t, linaruals, svnthesis of words, idea^^ ideals, liistorv and literature which cre- a^ef-. diffusi^^eness for people in fypneml and stands as barriers for developmf^nt of svmpathy be- cau<^''^ it is onlv their parents lan- s-uasre tbev learn and stand as contradictions and so their ideas ^nd thotF' w^hich ar^ "oeculiar na- tional and which follows it, and +^at children who are forced to learn two languages eontempor- PAGE 84 ?.ry in their homes and schooLs will aiwavr^ be partial betwist conflicting counter imitations and without ability for concen- tration and self acknowledgment especialh' as an American unless- one of th*e contrasting poles in their conrvMence gets supreme con '^'ol ajid that there is very much difference in learning a foreign language in this country than in old countries; first, because the&? countries have old and firmly es- tablished and defined national feelings ; secondly, because few speak foreign languages and their T'^udy of foreign languages is bound only to certain books and persons v.'hile thev both in this country have to become natural Vv'hat they of courr>3 can not in reality become but be only imitat- ed where they have to change their language and soul expres- s'on hurdred times a dav, and the^.-^ languages can not be ab- sorbed in each other.

Scientifi- cally it takes only seven years be- fore every muscle, nerve and' blood are renewed and changed in the human body in accordance with surroundings. It i£ then a matter of belief and to become conscious of this country's influ- ence both on body and roul, to >>^come an American as Theodore- Roosevelt said "Americanism isj Pc\GE 67 s question of r^irit, convictioTi nnd purpose not of creed or birth place/' ''But now what peculiarities characterize an American. First and foremost they love the coun- try, flap:, language, tradition and history." ''That flag and history which represent moral liberty and hu- manity." "Am^ericans love their langu- age and history and because it is the great lansruage of the world, and through the pages of United StateC' history they speak with the heroes of past times. That his- tory, these surroundingr- and tlirit culture are a part of himself. In historical persnective they see par-t and present times inner his- torical combination and act ac- cordingly to changed times." "What does it mean to love the XTnited States?" "That will say, to love and cherish, defend and work for the United States, for that which io benefleial for it, and fight against PAGE 68 everytliing which endangers it."" "That means to love anel che- rish our national constitution,^ moral and leg-al law?:-, our legal institutions and organizations ; our literature, history and tradi- tion, our poets : Hawthorne, Witt- man, Longfellow and many oth- ers ar. Washington. Lincoln, Roosevelt and to love them meanss to love what they loved and hate what they hated." "That will say, to be thankful to our m?.n of science, of art, in- ventors and indurytrial pioneers, and to those people who have sa- crificed their lives and happiness for univerMl good for the nation;^ those who have made our ideals,, our lives richer and more com- fortable so that we can live in peace. '^ The above about Americanism is quoted from pamphlet "Amer- ica for American r-" and which al- so contains the last public mess- ap-e of Theor^ore Roosevelt writ- t^^ +0 nn^ Dub]^*''oed by the Am- erican Defense Societv and wkicli:.

"Our principle in this matter should be absolutely plain. In the firr-':, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself with u.:-, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it if' an outrage to discriminate against such a man because of creed or birth place or origin."
