NOT OUR PEOPLE.
There is no Questioning the heroic!
self-sacrifice and patriotism of the
thousands or Greeks, Montenegrins,
"Servians, and Bulgarians who have
been employed throughout the Uni
ted Elates and who when thoir far|
therlands have become involved in'
war with the- Turk, abandon their em-,
ployment and hasten across the sens i
lo offer themselves as sacrifices up-!
on the field of battle for country.,
for king and for faith.
America offers a haven to the op
pressed of all nations. The man who,
to better his condition, crosses thej
seas to seek a home in America isj
welcome for it is from these that j
we have derived in the past, and!
will derive ill the future some of the
best of our citizenship, but in c !
del* that such a corner shall be ac-j
leptable to us lie must -intend to
cast his lot with us. lb- must be'
willing to renounce in heart as well1
as in word his allegiance to hisi
old country and must seek to be
come an American in truth whose
only allegiance shall be to the couu-j
try of bis adoption. lie must be
such that he and his may become 'in-:
corporatod in the great body of tlio.
citizenship of the land, in fact ho
must become an American.
I
There is no room in America for
the Greek, the Montenegrin and thej
Serb remain such, recognizing all eg-1
i:»nee to the countries from whence
they came, they cannot l>eeoine true
citiztus of the I'nited States, and
1he fact that they respond to the
call of the monarchs of their old
count rieK and hasten to enroll them-!
selvt s in the armies of the Balk.,
ans, is evidence that they are not
Ann i'lean and could not become such
were they to remain here for a gen-i
or;'/.ion. In an emergency they could
not be depended upon t« support the'
country in which llwy live, but
would remain aliens to the end of.
the chapter.
HIGH TARIFF AND HIGH PRICES ;
The cost of living luis risen in
most countries. The protect ionists
make a great deal of the fact that
i' has risen in free-trade England,;
as well as here. But take a close;
look at the facts and figures. Brad-!
sin el estimate* the rise of prices!
of the necessaries of life as follows
between 1 SJ»7 and Ir»I«»:
In Kn^land |>er "ceiil.1
In Germany IS per cent.'
In United States .... s per cent.
Notice thiil in high-tariff tierniany
the increase lias he«:n l"» per eent ;
more tln:n in frce-trade Kngland
though England doesn't raise its own
food. Take notice that the increase
in the United States has been almost
twiee ;lint in Knglund. though we
r.iis« ne irly all our whe it, eorn, heef,
mutton, wool and cotton and sell vast
quantities to other countries.
Why has I lie increase in food and
clothing been so much biglcr in high
tariff coun'ries if I lie tariff has no-i
thing to do Wift.li it? t
Clearly |i in up to President TaP".
to make another defense of <Mie

The finding of one more mastodon
brings the mind to ponder on ihuj
strange scenes thai must have been
at one time witnessed on these slior.f
of ours. That Alaska had - a torrid
climate in the distant prist now goes
without saying. Kver since the rush
to Nome I his remarkable fact has
been proven ov< r ami over again, but
that it had been at some period the
home of liianlc monsters -Is a truth
which adds to the wonder.
Kwry year iu almost all pir'd of
Alaska r.keb Ions of mastodons ar •
found in prosp»»(| holes. The num.

Extract from address by George E. Baldwin of Val
dez, to the American Mining Congress, Chicago,
October 27, 1911:
FROM OUR STANDPOINT CONSERVATION TO DATE
IS AN ATTEMPT TO GATHER ALL THE PUBLIC LANDS
OF OUR TERRITORY AS AN ESTATE, ITS FORESTS, ITS
MINES, ITS WATER POWER, ITS WHARF SITES, TO BE
MANAGED BY A HORDE, A DEVASTING HOST OF GOV
ERNMENT UNDERLINGS AND WORKED- BY OUR C1TI- '
ZENS AS TENANTS, LICENSEES AND LESSEES; THESE
UNDERLINGS TO BE RULED BY A RETINUE OF OFFIC
IALS STATIONED AT WASHINGTON, THOUSANDS OF
MILES AWAY. ALL OF THESE LOCUSTS OF OFFICIALDOM
TO CONSIDER THEMSELVES THE PEOPLE'S MASTERS
AND NOT THEIR SERVANTS WHY THIS RETINUE STA
TIONED AT WASHINGTON? SO THEY CAN BE IN CLOSER
TOUCH WITH QUESTIONS TO BE DECIDED? NO! SO
THEY CAN BE PROMPTLY ON THE GROUND TO LOBBY
FOR MORE APPROPRIATIONS TO HIRE MORE OFFIC.
IALS TO LOBBY FOR MORE APPROPRIATIONS, AD INFI
NITUM. AND THEY WILL NEED THESE APPROPRIATIONS
FOR SUCH A SYSTEM HAS NEVER IN PAST HISTORY
PAID ITS WAY AND NEVER WILL.
FOR GENERATIONS WE HAVE BEEN DECRYING THE
HEARTLE8S GREED OF IRI SH LANDLORDS, YET HERE
IS A SYSTEM OF LANDLORDISM THAT 0"UTTrTSHES~THE~
MOST IRISH LANDLORD THAT EVER DISGRACED THE
HUMAN RACE BY HIS RAPACITY A LANDLORD WHO
REFUSES TO DEVELOP HIS PROPERTY, REFUSES TO
LET ANYONE ELSE DEVELOP IT EXCEPT UNDER THE
MOST ONEROUS CONDITIONS AND REFUSES TO PAY
ONE CENT OF TAXES TO BE EXPENDED BY LOCAL OF
FICIALS FOR LOCAL NEEDS. THE MANIFEST INJUS
TICE OF THIS NEEDS NO COMMENT.
