Are You a Voter2

The following is the opinion of the
Detroit Tribune in the question Of the
qualification of electors. AS it is an
open question with the majority of the
male residents above 81 years of age
whether they have right to vote
we publish the article in full:
/. Every elector must have reached
the age of p years.
:. He must have resided in the state
three months next preceding an electi-
on, and in the ward township, or election
district in which he offers his vote. ten
days next preceding such election.
3. AS to aliens. AS already stated.
a foreigner coming to this country.
being above the age of 81 years. can
declare his intentions to become
citizen immediately upon his arrival
and take out his first papers"
!. But if he does not do this. after
having resided in the state two years
and half, and having declared his
intentions and taken out his FIRST
papers" six months prior to an election.
he will be entitled to those papers at
such election, The time is now past
when. under this provision, first
papers" can be taken out emitting an
alien to vote at next falls presidential
election.
.. Before second papers can be
taken out and an alien become a full |
citizen of the United States, he must
have resided continuously in this coun-
try five years.
g. The children of an alien who were
under twenty-one years of age when
their father become naturalized
citizen, become themselves citizens
upon arriving at the age of 81 years
without taking out any papers.
I. The same is true of the children
of an alien who had declared his inten-
lions and taken out his "frst papers"
but who subsequently died.
8. We were in error in stating that
aliens could not vote for president or
members of congress until they had
taken out their full papers. There is
no distinction In this respect. When
ever they can legally vote for state Off
GERS they can also vote for all Others.
8. There is also a provision of Unit
ed States laws that an alien of 81 years {
and upward. who has enlisted in the
regular army and has been afterward
honorably discharged, may apply to !
become full citizen without having
declared his intention. and

Than one years residence in this coun- {
Try previous to the time that he makes
his applications. '
These are the chief qualifications for J
electors and we believe are accurately a
stated. c

of God into our breast.
Two powerful elements within our

yearning and craving after change on
the one side, and the love of the old

Il the past on the other, have since

Struggle for dominion. Change is
indeed the essence Of life, or, as the
Greek philosopher Heraplyt so fit

the law of progress and development.
Hence stability and progress are still
the two great extremes and rivals for
popular favor. There is no man SO
conservative that he does not favor
progress ia some respect, and
there is no man 30 radical
that he is not swayed by a
certain reverence for the tranitions of
