The goy,e.rnment of the United States has been liberal in granting citizenship— too liberal, present manifesta- tions of a lack of loyalty seem to indicate—and millions of foreign birth have attained prosperity, peace and happiness under nat.- uralizatAm, have been held at all times on an equality with citizens of native birth. Now in the present crisis, \true faith and aliegiance, is a phrase with a deep meaning. There is nothing: perfunctory about it and those who have sworn their loyalty to this land sh )uld recall their oath and hold it a so;emn pledge. Everywhere in this land, it ap- pears, there are alien -born peo ple who are not in sympathy with America and Americaism. However, they have been wil'- ing to enjoy the protection of America, to live happily in Amer- ica, without, it seems, gaining anything of the real spirit of America, without, even when naturalized, becoming real Amer- ican citizens. Some of this class are a pwitive menance to Amer- ica—as countless incidents with- in recent months have shown — and all of_ them are . passive langer. And, if they but knew .t, these people are in danger themselves, for even American ; )atience may come to an end. Let the dissenting naturalized :itizen remember his oath and let the unreconstructed alien cease treasonable utterances. — Alissoula Sentinal.

Tiring ItTibove your hair as a reminder to the Apache thnt he must behave.\ He told the truth. Although there were thousands of settlers who had never been able to exact their debts from the blood-thIrsty tribes, the Colonel had collected, and, as he took off his mud and dust -covered uniform and laid it carefully away in the big chest in the attic he felt convinced that the bones of the Apaches, which were scattered across the big area from Las Vegas to Discovery, were physical notes that had long Iren overdue; that the brutal death Of one of the fairest -flowers of the Southland had been avenged. The land he owned, which consisted of several thousand acres; the great herds of cattle that roamed over his vast estate had been taken from the Apaches, while the btg mansion whieh W/1 S known as one of the finest across the border, had been constructed, un- der his supervision, by their hands. The Colonel had never been cruel at heart; in fact he was generous to the point of extravagance and hls chnrities were many and widely dis- tributed. Discovery had benefited greatly by his generosity and he had helped those whom he had never seen. Rut, when his old friends, Pancho Leon rind Mnjor Richard Winston, ap- pealed to iltrn on one occasion, to as- sist tribe of starving APaches, en- camped Hear 17h3 hacienda, he burst Into a rage. \Let thein die; the dogs!\ he ex, claimed, rts he arose rind paced back; and forth. \They killed the best part of me at Glorieta fifteen years agor w .

Those who could recall the night he rode into Discovery and sitor,'ed his horse in the shed back of the Alvarado Hotel, declared that James Horton waS one of the bravest men that eVer hit the trail between Al- buquerque and El Paso. His entry had been unheralded and unexpected; where he came frorn nobody knew. He had a frame, powerful in its con- struction, to defy argument, while his cold,'steel.eyes, seemed to define the ingredients of the whisky lie had called for, In addition to reading the soul of the man who served it. The Alvarado, in those days, was run by Jack AleGuirk, a rustler, who had slipped into the west from the east and never talked about his past. The ranch boys used to relate stories about a wife and children Jack had left somewhere in Vermont, and, ac- cording to their story, there seemed to be another man rnixed up in it somewhere. But, Jack nev6r told', and - the boys never asked, so, the,niore conservative inhabitants of the little border town were inclined to accept the whole thing as gossip. One thing was certain, Jnck Mc- Guirk was about the most generous institution that had ever struck the alfalfa _ country. If a fellow came Into his place to start something Jack served him from the rear of the bar nnd then walked around in front while he drank it, keeping his R,Ke firmly dr i fted on his holster during the trip . . 1 When the round -up was over and the ranch boys game to town, loaded to the saddle with sliver, and n deter- mination to ring It on iuek's bar, it was nothing unusual for the proprietor If the divarado , to hold them up nt the point of a six-shooter, when they reached -the istiflimental stage, take the remnants of videtr salaries and slip thorn into his safe, zitere they were kept intact until the next ii4y, when he wouLd return the money to them. The restrli_mess that to nrany it was just like receiving money frotn home, and many of them coma tionk Jack for thoir new boots arid raw- hides. which they had bought with their own money arid Jack's good judgment. This was one of the rea- so pov us ert7 w . hy Jack never suffered from DfcGuirk took a faney to Horton the moment the Mg, stalwart fellow crossed the threshold itud slouched up to the bnr. Before the dusty sir:nnger had gulped down his overgrown 11111. [Ion of whisky 31cGuirk had learned e.nough about him to satisfy a con- siderable part of 111:4 curiosity. In those days, a man who could hit the trail between Las Vegas and Discos , . cry and live to relate his experience considered himself more than fortu- nate, for prowling bands of Apaches lurked beyond the old Aatitn Fe ter- minal to steal nnd kill. Horton had reached the border, but a fresh grave near Glorieta, wherein Iris wife rested, turd which he had dug wIth his own hands, atter the Apaches hail tied, retnindk Itifft- of the cost. And. a prairie schooner, which was follow- ing him into Discovery, (surfed a tot of three, who had bi‘en snatched from the snenking, blood -thirsty tribe, when Horton sent sotne of them to the dust with his rifle. She remit - sae , ' him that the two of them were all that W/14 left of n fluidly, denrer to him thnn the belt whieh encireled his waist, filled with eastern gold.
