DEAR CHING-FOO: It is all settled, and I am to leave my oppressed and overburdened native land and cross the sea to that noble realm where all are free and all equal, and none reviled or abused-America America, whose precious priv-ilege it is to call herself the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. We and all that are about us here look over the waves longingly, con-trasting the privations of this our birthplace with the opulent comfort of that happy refuge. We know how America has welcomed the Germans and the Frenchmen and the stricken and sorrow-ing Irish, and we know how she has given them bread and work, and liberty, and how grateful they are.
