A Large Number Of Naturalization Pa.
pers Taken Out During the Week.
Since the days Of suffrage, when . voter OF
foreign birth was required to show his 'citi-
zen papers" there has been comparatively but
little use made Of the declaration of inten-
ton" and naturalization record" in the Office
OF clerk Of the court in this District, and so
infrequent have been applications that some OF
the clerks scarcely knew in what case to look
for them. From recent experience, however,
they have become as familiar with these vol
umes az the marriage license record and the
court dockets and minutes.
The naturalization laws require, in cases Of
minors who are under eighteen years when
they arrive In this country, a residence of three
years and proof Of that fact and if the applicant
ID attached to the principles of our form of gov
eminent and is of good moral character-these
are sufficient for the judge of the court to direct
his admission to citizenship, Then the appli-
cant repairs to the clerks Office, the oath is
hlled up with the name. age. country, DC, the
applicant takes the Bible in hand listens to the
clerk kisses the book, signs his name and is,
to all intents and purposes, an American.
In the case of those who we're adults
when they first set foot on American soil five
years residence Is required for full citizenship,
but the applicant must have declared his IN
tenion two years before, and in each case he
must produce evidence that he is attached to
the government, is Of good character, DC.
During the war an incentive was given to
foreigners entering the military or naval
service By provision that the service Of one
year and an honorable discharge entitled them
to admission to citizenship. With many il has
been thought that the honorable discharge was
sumctent Tor all purposes Of citizenship, and .
large majority Of those applying nov are in
this category.
The recent action of the Commissioners in
regard 10 liquor licenses has had the effect of
largely increasing the roll OF citizenship, and
the act Of Congress Of March 8, 1887, to prevent
foreigners acquiring and holding real estate
will likely give further impetus 10 our citizen
roll.
