TEST OF AMERICANISM
WELL DEFINED
SECRETARY LANE GIVES HIS
VIEWS ON THE SUBJECT
IN HARPER’S WEEKLY.
Franklin K. Lane, secretary of
tilt interior, easily the ablest man
*in President Wilson’s cabinet, and
who is said to be towering head
and shoulders above all others, tells
in a recent article that appeared
in Harper’s Weekly, why he has
the right to call himself an Ameri
can. In part he says:
“My right to call myself an
American does not turn upon what
America Has done for me, but what
I have done for it. If I have made
it richer, if I have made its life
more wholesome, if I have given
to it a boy or a girl who loves
it, if I have shown that I am loyal
to the ideals of freedom and jus
tice which it represents, I have
the right to call myself an Ameri
can. The test of my Americanism
is the way I look at things with
relation to the present and the fu
ture of this country.”
Every American, however obscure,
may apply to himself the test which
this distinguished Californian so
clearly provides. Note particularly
the test “if I have given to it a
boy or a girl who loves it.” Sec
retary Lane must have had in mind
the multitudes of foreign born citi
zens who would be untrue to them
selves if they had ceased to love
their mother country. Since the mad
war in Europe we have heard a
great deal of intemperate talk about
hyphenated Americanism. According
to Secretary Lane’s test the for
eign bom parent who has given
to the United States a child that
loves our flag is entitled to call
himself an American. In such cases
the hyphen is a sign not of separ
ation but of union. Our public
schools testify that the hyphenated
children of former hyphenated par
ents are numbered by millions.
FATHER ASKS LEAVE
TO KLL HIS CHILD
DES MOINES, March 5.—The ac
tion of Dr. Harry J. Haiselden, of
Chicago, m permitting the death of
the deformed Bollinger baby several
months ago, was recalled today in
this city by Charles Cleveland, a
laborer, who asked the chief of
police for assistance in killing his
two-month-old daughter.
Cleveland spoke with discouraged
earnestness.
“Chief,” he said, “won’t you tell
me how I can kill my baby so it
won’t be against the law. Maybe
you’ll help me so it will be all
right like that baby in Chicago.
“What’s that? Say it again,”
gasped the chief.
“You see,” went on Cleveland,
“this baby is defective, and, chief,
she has fits all the time, and my
wife she does nothing but cry all
the time, and she’s sick. So I ask
ed the doctors to kill the baby,
but they wouldn’t because they said
the police wouldn’t let them. So I
came to ask if you’d help me to do
it all regular.”
At Cleveland’s desolate home the
city physician found the baby in
convulsions, and the mother in hys
terics. He instructed that both be
taken to a hospital. He said it
would be impossible to operate on
the infant during the convulsions.

CITIZENSHIP AND
EXPLANATION
In a letter recently received, the
following question was made:
“A man 'born in Germany and
naturalized as an American citizen
is obliged to return to his native
country. How long are his Ameri
can papers good, and to whom must
he apply to have them renewed so
that he will not lose his citizen
ship in America. He intends to
come back to this country?”
A foreign-born person who is
naturalized as an American citizen,
becomes so for the rest of his
life, unless by some definite action
lie loses his citizenship. His papers
in themselves are good permanently.
However, in the “Expatriation Act ot
1907,’ provides that a foreign-born
Amei'isn citizen loses his citizen
ship here if he resides for two
years in the foreign. state from
which he came, or for five years
in any other foreign state. This
may be overcome on the presenta
tion of satisfactory evidence and
in conformity with the rules and
regulations provided by the State
Department.

nection with settlement of affairs
of the former Pacific Coast & Nor
way Packing Company of Peters
burg, that has been in the hands of
a receiver, and which business will
be settled within the next two
months, said Mr. Smith to the Pro
gressive-Miner.
