COMPULSORY clIlZtNshlP.

Judge McIIatton's recent criticism
of the large number of residents in
Silver Bow county who have neglected
to embrace full citizenship, was none
too severe. The neglect is ~inexcusable
from any standpoint, but so long as
there is no law compelling a man to
take out his second papers, so long the
evil, for il can scarcely be called any
thing else, will continue. Before the
house committee on immigration Mr..
Simon Wolf has been advocating com
pulsory citizenship as the only ade-
quate remedy. From his speech before
the committe last week the following
is an excerpt:
What you ought Ia do. and la that direction
YOU may be- able 10 originate legislation, Is 10
enact "A compulsory law compelling n man TO be
a citizen of the United States. Change your laws
In that respect. do not favor people holding Of
fee or securing any immunity or any recognition
in the country, unless they have an interest in
the country itself, In It's welfare, and In its char
acier. and in its institutions. After "A man has
been five years here and has had "A choice as Ia
whether he shall become u citizen Of the United
States or not, give him the alternative, and II he
does not choose Ia become "a citizen let Him 90
back.
The Clairman-wou You force him back?
MIR. Wolff would force him To go back. for I
would not have u condition ~ things exist AS il
did during our late civil war, when some men had
been here twenty and twenty-five years, had
amass,d great wealth, had crowded ont other in
dustries, and when the crisis came Of our coun-
try's peril they fled Ia the consulates for proiec-
ton. | would have no condition ~ things like
that. would make u man feel an interest In the

ton, established by and for the benefit
of corporate wealth, and to make it SO
plain that the people are the masters
that no court, however shallow or cor
rupt, shall ever again attempt to sub
ject them to the domination of the ar
tificial personages they have them
selves created"
Perhaps the alliance appreciates II
vastness of this undertaking. Its ac-
complishment means something O
than an amendment TO the c0nstitu-
tion-it means in a sense a revision OF
that document. And before this i'm
portant work is begun the alliance
must tell the country precisely what IL
wants. 1t must point out a better sys-
TEN of judiciary than the existing sys-
TEN. Until this is done the movement
will gain not an inch of head
way. When their heat of indigna-
ton is over the farmers of Min
nesota themselves will come TO the
conclusion that they must have
something definite, positive, clearly
defined, ready as a substitute for that
which they propose to destroy. Other
wise they will lay themselves liable to
the charge of going il blind" They
will not be exempt from the imputa-
ton of anarchy. IL the farmers a
suggest a better scheme it will as
suredly receive the respectful atten-
ton of the American people. This is
not the first time that a cry has gone
up against the tyranny and injustice OF
a court. Courts nevertheless are neces-
sary institutions, and the wisdom of
the age has been eyerted to make them
as nearly perfect as possible.
The candor of the farmers in speak
ing of such questions is, withal, really
refreshing. The action of the Mime
sofa alliance recalls a resolution re-
Gently passed by the Kansas body OF
the same general organization relative
to Senator ingalls,. 1t declared it to be
a difficult matter 'for his constituents
to point to a single measure he has
ever championed in the interests of the
great agricultural and labor element of
Kansas, and we will not support by
votes OF influence any candidate for
the legislature who favors his re-elec-
ton to the United States senate" This
is plain enough for wen Mr.. Ingalls, to
understand.

FARMERS SPEAK THEIR MINDS.

The farmers of the country are get
ting enraged at what they conceive to
be glaring injustices practiced upon
them. Slow to anger, when once they
have made up their minds that they
are being imposed upon they speak out
in meeting regardless of customs or
consequences. The traditional halo of
reverence surrounding the judiciary
mas no terror for them. In their judg-
ment the courts have no more right to
claim immunity from criticism than
any other department of the govern.
ment. The honest farmer recognizes
no such thing as contempt of court.
Rather, as he looks at IL, an rroneous
decision should be an occasion for the
most scathing denunciation. How
otherwise shall right and justice he re-
stored?
Actuated by these thoughts and feel
ings, the Farmers Alliance of Mime;
sofa has met and in the strongest Ian
guage IT could command attacked the
United states supreme court for
rendering the recen Granger railroad
desicion. They ask whether any other
race would submit to have Their
liberties thus wheedled away from
them on t~echnicalities by a squawk OF
lawyers, sitting as supreme authority
above congress and the president and

kissing the BOOK,

From the North American.
The incident in court i'm which a young
lady avoided kissing the book on taking
the oath is not SO unusual as to require
extended comment. As a rule the books
on which witnesses are sworn are so filthy
by frequent handling that the kissing part
of the oath ought TO be abolished for sani-
tary reasons, If for nothing else. The
holding Of the book or the raising of the
right hand would be just as binding in
law and to the conscience as the oscula-
tory feature, and would be less %repugnant
and likely to spread disease germs.

The beginning of the debate on the
Montana question in the United states
senate yesterday was not marked by
any great excitement. IL is generally
understood that the result is a foregone
conclusion, and this understanding in
large eas robs the debate of the
interest that would otherwise attach to
it. The arguments in favor of seating
Messrs. Sanders and Power are fatally
defective, but a little thing like that
makes no difference to the majority.

The result of Tuesdays election in Mil
waukee was n paralyzer to Wisconsin re-
publicans. The Bennett compulsory edu-
c~ational law was the chief issue of the
fight, being opposed by the Catholic and
Lutheran clergy, who united with the
democrats in opposition to the measure.
The result was an overwhelming defeat
for the republican candidates. As
next autumn's campaign will be fought
there on the same lines, il is quite safe to
predict success for democracy.

was mistaken; that what she saw was
only a scawcrow. A little further
along and Uncle Walsh's farm was

Uncle Walsh at work. The little

of him, but she wasn't to be fooled so
easily this time. 20 papa" she cried,
