Grover Cleveland once said. "The sentiment of .our fathers. .made up of the patriotic itentions. their sincere beliefs. their �homely impulses. and their noble :aspirations. all .entered into the Government they .established. and unless it isconstantly supported and guarded by a sentimentias pure as theirs. our scheme of popular government -will fail." We have. an American type of citizen which we believe is a superior type. and which we hope will be perpetuated. This .average citizen has ideas and Idealson language. culture.-education. government. respect for law. standards of living. morals. manners. health. .physical and mental superiority. and this -American type will not sit idly by and observe these ideals. .hopes. and aspirations corrupted or destroyed. Our country. .by their Congress in forming this immigration law. has not only the right but also the duty to fully .protect the social. .the economic. and the political heritage of our Republic as vigorously as we would defend our national honor or would protect our citizens against military invasion. Let us :renember that democracy is not alone political principles embodied in constitutions and.statutes. It is a national spirit of devotion .to respect our .traditions. love .and obey .our laws. that oar country may continue its virtue uncorrupted. .and :equality and happiness .maybe our countrys future herit.age to our 6hildren. that they may :lead the world to higher .planes of civilization.
