Roosevelt, in his editorial in the Metropolitan
Magazine of August, after severely arraigning
"fifty-fifty Americanism," says:
"We must
treat every good American of German or of
any other origin, without regard to his creed,
as on a full and exact equality with every other
good American, and set our faces like flint
against the creatures who seek to discriminate
against such an American, or to hold against
him the birthplace of himself or his parents.
The friends of whom I am proudest and in
whom 1 believe most include men like Loeb and
Mans Zinser and Dolge, and the late George
Meyer and August Vogel, and innumerable
others, who are themselves in the army, or
whose sons are in the army, and whose patriot-
ism entitles them to fill any position from the
Presidency down. To discriminate in any way,
because they are in whole or in part of Ger-
man blood, against such men as these, who are
typical Americans of the very best kind this
country yields, is a base infamy from the per-
sonal standpoint, and from the public stand-
point is utterly un-American and profoundly un-
patriotic."

The Dolge mentioned by Col. Roosevelt in
the foregoing is Alfred Dolge, Western repre-
sentative of the Haddorff Piano Co. Mr.
Dolge, whose home is in Covina, Cal., a small
town near this city, organized and was for sev-
eral years president of the Alfred Dolge Felt
Co., now the Standard Felt Co., of West Al-
hambra, Cal., and previous to coming to Cali-
fornia had been prominently identified with the
founding of Dolgeville, N. Y. He has been the
Pacific Coast representative of the Haddorff
Piano Co., of Rockford, 111., for about two years.
He is naturally very proud to be remembered
by the Colonel, especially in the manner cited;
and his many friends in the piano world are also
proud both of his acquaintance and of the fact
that one of their fraternity has been so highly
complimented.
