The sentiment of the people is rapidly
crystallizing into verdict that the natu-
rallzatlon laws should be so amended
that no alien shall be admitted to the yot-
ing privilege on mere declaration of
intention" For the act of admitting to
citizenship in one State really admits to
that privilege in all, and the people are
awakening to this truth. The mere fact
that State bounds limit the exercise of the
suffrage does not prevent the force of the
vote OF the unnaturalized alien being felt
throughout all the States.

LOCAL AFFAIRS.

1t would seem that the people of this
city. are helpless in the presence of the
dives. One of the yilest in the city was
on Monday licensed anew in the face of
the statement of the police officers that it
is one of the worst possible dens of crime
and debauchery. An attorney for the
dive-keeper argued that the class FREE
quenting these places we have always
with us, and. it is therefore wiser to keep
them inside a certain district than to
scatter them over the city, and the Presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees appears to
have grasped this idea, and to have given
it his sanction.
1t seems not to have occurred to the
Trustees that it would be wiser still to
drive these vile elements out of the city,
by prohibiting the opening of resorts, in
the absence of which the Objectionable
class will leave for more congenial quar-
ters. These low people are social beings,
as are other men and women; they must
have their associates, and their resorts
also where they can meet one another
Failing of such places, they will depart
to places where they are permitted.
Nor does it appear to have occurred to
the Trustees that in the matter of s'scat-
tering" the dives, the board has power to
prevent it by refusing them licenses.
Moreover, the thugs, sneak-thieves and
head-crackers who congregate in these
places, scatter from them to prey upon
the people throughout the city. 1t is in
these dens that criminal expeditions are
plotted. Nor viii the closing of the dives
at midnight help matters. 1t will not de-
ter solitary criminal, or in any respect
affect his conduct
If the midnight closing ordinance is in
tended to be cloud to obscure the oues-
ton of higher license rate, it is an abso-
lutely vicious measure, working hard
ships on hotels and restaurants, effecting
nothing whatever in the diminishing of
the number of places of low resort. and
adding not one cent to the city's revenue.
to compensate, in part, for the enormous
expense to which the city is put because
of the number of dives. If this is to be
the outcome Of all the recent agitation.
then there has been great amount of
labor expended for the benefit of the
community, without good result.
The question is, will the people put
up with this weak policy?" Some weeks
ago the RECORD UNION asked for an
answer to this question: "Why should
the municipal license rate for sale of
liquors at retail be lower in Sacramento
than in any other city or town in Califor-
mia, or any other place in the United
Statesf To that simple stated inquiry
no response has been made, and no rea-
son advanced for the fact.
This city needs money for imperatively
demanded improvements. We have
shown how it can be procured without
increase of the tax rate No one has en-
deavored, or ventured to controvert the
statement that we can have S27, 200 net.
annually, from liquor licenses, instead of
$3.50, for the very good reason that no
sensible contradiction of the statement
can be made. In the teeth of the showing.
in the face of the city's need and the
failure to act on the part of the CITY
officials, what are the people going to do
about it?

THE BEHRING SEA MATTER.

1t now looks as if the close season
arrangement for seal taking will be
entered into by the United States and
England, pending arbitration of the main
issues of the Behring Sea matter. The
United States proposed closed season,
prohibition of seal taking absolutely,
during the period of arbitration. Eng
land accepted this after some vexatious
delay. Thereupon the President added
a condition that 800 seals might be taken
for the support of the 300 Aleuts living
at the seal-taking district. To this the
English Minister demurred, and mean
while the opening of the sealing season
was near at hand. The matter then
went into Parliament and bill agreeing
to the final proposition has passed to a
second reading under circumstances that
indicate its speedy final passage.
The demur ofthe English ministry was
that the Canadians object to the close
season, unless the fishers who have fitted
out are compensated for loss of pros
pective take of seals. It appears to have
been thought in Parliament that it was a
hardship to have this cost of compensa-
ton fall upon the British Government.
But why should it pay it? These men
fitted out in the face of the fact that nego-
tiations were pending for closed season.
They ''took their chances" as other bust
ness men do and certainly have nothing
to complain of But it is evident that the
English Government is afraid Of the
Dominion Government and people. This
fearfulness appears at this distance to
amount almost to cowardice.

Concerning the benefits of cooperation III
business ventures 1 would say that many
regard the Shiawassee Co. Cooperative
Milling Association as a scheme to make
money only, and engage in it only in that
spirit, but all who have made it study
have higher conception of cooperation.
Cooperation is science and not q passing
incident of the industrial movement. 1t is
the highest of social sciences. 1t is the
normal condition of man under a higher
state of civilization.
The question naturally arises will this
venture be a success in money making
view. We answer yes. No one, except a
monopolist who wants tolive off his neigh
Dor can answer differently. For the interest
of all honest producers are identical and
about equal in this and why can they not
unite on it? One of its chief benefits to
members is in securing them honest weights
and measures. The aim should be to secure
these results and return profits to members
in the form of dividends, rather than merely
to reduce prices.
If all who engage in this venture under
stand it and are in earnest they can make a
success. Correct ideas always precede sue
cessful action, therefore thorough knowl-
edge of the causes Of industrial and social
evil and the power of cooperation to remedy
them should lie acquired by the members
before attempting any cooperative project
knowledge and not capital is the potent
agency which will ultimately make CO
operation success.
But with the enlightened people of this
and surrounding counties there are scores of
good citizens who understand these princi-
pies. All that is needed is to help one an
other. Do unto others as you would have
Others do unto you. Cooperation cannot be
held together by signs or pass words or
verbal obligations or constitutions or by
laws on paper; sound morality, spirit of
justice and lofty intelligence are the cohesive
principles which hold co-operators in bonds
Of unity and will make cooperation sue
cess. +. ii. G.
