A Xevohiuion In America
Bwj'ia Of Fa.eijners. II]
Treated, tie Sayt.
-riitor ol 'Tile .Star:
’-.tit n»t mi old acquaintance
v.-h.y hut year had :n»dis a trip
through the Southeastern states m
cV.idir.it North and South Carolina.
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, etc.,
;>nd who since has been traveling
n the north, southwest and mid
thcwestern state*, and in inct dur
ing the last two years he lias been
in nearly every state ir. the union
and har, observed conditions, in
these various places and he re
marked that our Southern states
are the most American states and
that m case of a revolution tn our
own country it will be the south
that will hold together and save the
country.
Tire southern states have an al
most 100 per cent American popu
lation and the volunteer rolls of all
past wars have proven that the
southerners are the most patriotic
of all the American people. The
Southwest in my opinion Is the most
unDatriotic.
Bloody Revolution.
In talking with this friend he
brought out the fact that in less
than ten years time that the Unit
ed States will be in the midst of one
• of the most bloody revolutions In
the history of the world. I did not
’ quite agree with him but he fur
nishes abundance of logic for his
theory. He states, and we must
agree with that, that the large per
i centage of foreign population that
we are allowing to come to the
- United States care little about
American ideals^ and American
traditions and it is this element
that the "Reds” are working on
continually breeding discontent and
a hatred for our government and
that a revolution is sme to come re
gardless of our ideals, regardless 6t
our patriotism, and regardless of
everything else.
The "Red'’ element is noticeable
everywhere and especially in the
middle west and in the southwest,
where I have been for the past
number of years. Even on the
streets one can bear remarks tha':
during the war they would have
feared to utter.
And whom can we blame for this
condition here in our southwest?
The answer is obvious. A few years
a so they started to raise cotton in
Turn a and Maricopa counties in
this state. The farmers begin to
have difficulty in getting sufficient
laboV to take care of the raisins and
the harvesting of the crops. The
various chambers of commerce
throughout the state started in to
help them by bringing in large
numbers of natives from old Mex
ico. The beet farmers in Colorado,
Wyoming, had the same labor trou
bles and their chambers of com
merce started in to assist them in
the game manner urftil now the
country is so filled with Mericar.
labor that a white mdfc cannot get
a job. The same condition pre ail
ed in the western Texas oil fields
and the native Texans recently
drove the Mexicans out with guns.
Every time an American employ
l fr hires a foreigner he is just aid
ing and abetting a revolution in our
Sj\\n country. He Is hurting himself
, more than he can realize now. Ard
•this friend of mine predicts that In
less than ten years that we wUl be
,'fct war. not with a foreign na'icn
but among ourselves.
Down On "Wops
I have met all kinds of foreignets
In my time, and 89 per cent of all I
have ever met could never be mold*
,ed into real American citizens in
' the true sense cf the word. The Ital
ians work ir. this country until they
save a good sum of money and ‘hen
return to their own country where
they live the balance of their lives
-In ease. That is the purpose o! most
of the foreigners who come to' our
land. They want to save up enough
money to return to their own coun
try and live in ease. That is not a
bad ambition within itself. but
most of these people do not cere
how they go about saving this
money. And in anyway the country
is the loser. If a foreigner commits
a crime and Is confined in one of
our prisons he is an expense to our
country. If he is sent back to ht.s
own country, he will spend the bal
ance of his days trying to get tack
or will instil in his countrymen a
hatred for the United St at hi and
when they, themselves, get over
they will bear this grudge and try to
get even.
Suggests Plan.
We should close our ports to all
foreigners who are not educated and
bar out those who are educated that
do not have at Itest $50,900 or more.
No o;;c should no admitted to the
V.'dted States who cannot speak the
Snshsh language fluently and this
should b« i. ru e rn the Mexican
««l“r that no Mexican labore* who
cannot *pe*k and understand the
WnglUh language could enter the
t * <u.r..ry on:« passport to work in ary
t>? c*ar industries and whilo at werk
whh hn fellow Mexicans ho should
r.-CK be allowed ti converse with
them in any language save our own
tTigilsh.
Of every hundred native •xrn
Mexicans now in tlia United Strtes
o: ty .-.bout three per cent can talk i
and understand thoroughly the
English language, and among tnose
that can spealc a few words of Eng
lish, they will not attempt to learn
It unless it is mandatory with ♦heir
employers.
Mexico requires that eighty oer
cent of all men employed in any
establishment be Mexicans. This
rule is rigidly enforced In the bor
der towns to my knowledge, except
in a few cabarets and saloons.
Mexico does not allow anybody, lust
Tom. Dick and Harry, to enter her
country. On the other hand the
U. S. A. admit a certain number of
aliens from other countries, includ
ing Mexico, and they permit thou
sands of native Mexicans to enter
the United States through the head
tax system and to work for the
large corporations, such as smelters,
mines, beet fields, cotton fields, etc
These Mexicans can manage to
live on one half what it requires an
American to get by on as the Mex
icans’ standards of living are differ
ent from that of the Americans
Every time they bring over one of
mese ureasers ’ that means some
American is out of work.
According to my friend, this is
one of the chief reasons we will
find ourselves in the midst of a re
volution in Just a few years. The
American must live and before he
will allow the foreigners to crowd
him out of his Job and ' take the
bread away from his family, he will
fight to the death. I was a soldier
for ten years and I know the feel
ing of most of the soldiers. Few of
them would take up arms to mur
der their brother Americans. That
is against American ideals and
traditions. If we have a revolution
it will be the fault of the employer
class and not the working class of
individuals. Its hard for a million
aire to understand how a wage
earner lives. He does not appreciate
the hardships encountered in rais
ing a family and making ends
meet on a small wage. He is looking
towards profits all the time and for
gets that when he brings foreigners
into the industries that he is inder.
minipg the main foundation of his
business. The foreigner, himself, Is
not the friend of his employer. He
will no doubt perform his w'ork in
a docile manner, but there is in his
breast a hatred for his boss that is
not in the breasts of loyal Ameri
can workmen.
Back On Farm. __
Personally, when this revolution
breaks out I hope to be back in
North Carolina with one mule, a
carry-all wagon, cow, a few chick
ens, single shot breech loading shot
gun, and enough wood laid up for
the winter and I hope there will be
plenty of snow so that I can track
the rabbits. I also forgot that I also
will have a pig and the inevitable
pig pen, without which no farm is
ever complete.
A Real Meal.
I will read about this revolution
and talk it over with my nearest
neighbor, tut I will not participate.
Give me a good meal or corn bread,
back bones and ribs, washed down
with buttermilk, and It would be
mighty hard to pick a fight with
me. But on the other hand let me
get hungry and I’m: fussy to the
extreme.
I volunteered for the last war and
was happy that they took me in
but believe me whenever I volunteer
for another one, I will think It’s a
picnic.
Hard On Bill.
About two more wars and our
government would be enwrapped
in so much red tape they never
would get untangled* I contracted
tuberculosis from German gas, in
the World war, the Veterans bu
reau said that same was not due to
| my service. I went in an able bod
ied man came out almost a wreck
and they said that my t. b. was not
due to my service and I would like
to know what it was due to They
cannot tell me that. That’s wny I
would never volunteer for another
war. In a few years they will prob
' ably hold that I owe them money
for having gotten gassed and wlil
maybe want to courtmartlal me.
On the other hand I know of sev
eral cases of men who never wrs ’n
France, in fact was only in the army
a few days before the armU ice.
They are paying them from $130 to
$207. per month. Not saying *bpy'
are not entitled to it, but it shows
what a mess our so-called Veterans
bureau has gotten matters in, es
pecially under a Republican ad
ministration. But if I have to vote
the Republican ticket to get Justice
from my government I will teil ’hem
to hold on to their justice, I prefer
to be a Democrat even though the
Democrat veterans are getting the
worst of it, and especially th~.se of
the old regular army whom have
i been altogether forgotten.
It’s a great old world if we don’t
weaken. And revolution or no re
volution, Veterans bureau, or to
Veterans bureau, I am glad to be
an American and to live among true
Americans, what few there are left,
and I believe the Worlds Series is
being played fair even If I did lose
$25 on Chicago’s team Saturday,
Sincerely,
‘RAMBLING BILL.”
