Samuel Gompers, President American Federation of Labor: "It almost
grieves me even to recommend the slightest restriction to the full
and free immigration of anyone who desires to escape from the
iniquitous conditions from which he may suffer, but the progress of
our civilization is hanging in the balance, and intelligent and brave
men should not be afraid to express themselves to secure us against
results which may be appalling. Unrestricted immigration injures the
people of our country and does no good to the people of other
countries. It injures all."
A.S. Draper: "I would hang the flag in every school room, and I would
spend an occasional hour in singing our best patriotic songs, in
declaiming the masterpieces of our national oratory, and rehearsing
the proud story of our national life."
Francis Marion: "Men will always fight for their government according
to their sense of its value. To value it right, they must understand
it. This they cannot do without education."
Winship: "The public school is the one force, is the only force, that
can unify all classes and conditions of society. Here we have the
children of the nation in their entirety, and we can, if we will,
teach them in the schools so much of the grandeur of our possession,
of the heroic in our history, of the brilliant in our prosperity, of
the fascinating in our traditions, that the fathers of the future
will be willing to vote for and die, if necessary, for the American
idea; that the mothers of the future will teach their sons to develop
our resources by industry, to honor the active duties of private and
public system, because it lies at the foundation of our national
existence."
Where does the vicious element which is found in this country come
from, and to what church does it belong? Ah, 98 per cent of those
whom we call anarchists can trace their origin from foreign
countries, and they are always identified with the Roman Catholic
Church.
Wherever you find a national disturbance, and wherever you find the
spirit of anarchy in this country, you will find a spot where Roman
Catholicism exists, as her teachings are anarchistic, as she teaches
her followers a doctrine that is as sure to lead to anarchy as water
is to flow down hill.
