THE ALIEN LAND LAW.

An ex-member of the Canadian Parlia-
ment, lately in Seattle, expressed grave
doubts concerning the wisdom of that par
ticular law of Washington which bars the
alien in many ways from acquiring and
holding realty in his own name. The ex-
press provision referred to is found in sec
ton 80, of article II. of the state constitu-
ton, and reads:
The ownership of lands by aliens. other than
those who In good faith have declared their in
tention TO become citizens of the United States
Is prohibited in this state, except where &C
Quired by inheritance, under mortgage or in
good faith in the ordinary course OF justice, in
the collection of debts; and all conveyances of
lands hereafter made to any alien directly or in
faust for such alien shall be void: Provided,
That the provisions OF this section shall not
apply TO lands containing valuable deposits of
minerals, metals, iron, coal or fire clay and the
necessary lands for mills and machinery to be
used in the development thereof and the manu-
facture of products therefrom. Every corpora
ton, the majority Of the capital stock of which
is owned by aliens, shall be considered an alien
for the purposes of this prohibition
The provision of the constitution as at
present outlined is faulty, in that the
strict letter of the law provides too palpa-
bic opportunities for evasion. A fictitious
debt may be created between citizen and
an alien, in the collection of which the
latter may secure legal possession of real
property. There are numerous other ex-
pedients by which man lacking business
integrity might overcome the intent OF the
statute.
Even, however, if the constitutional pro-
vision were perfect and contained no flaw.
1t is to be strongly doubted whether the
policy contained therein is the proper one
to be maintained by our growing common
wealth. All restrictions of capital are
against the true spirit of trade, and every
state that has barred the door in any way
against the infusion of new mercantile en-
deavor has paid for the error in grievous
atonement.
Our state is lusty, the blood of an indus
trial and commercial Goliath flows in her
veins, but she cannot stand alone. and all
her laws should be framed with the incest
care for the encouragement and welcome
of every possible aid Tor the fostering of her
industries by outside money.
The original intent of the alien land law
was the prevention of the requirement Of
great tracts OF land by alien individuals or
corporations. There is, however, no JUS
tice to the state in preventing all who will
from putting in money in any enterprise
which requires land as one of its adjuncts.
The only thing that goes to the alien is the
profit The labor, the cost of production,
the sinew Of national or popular wealth
remains, and the people and community
in general secure the results.
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-05-24

of advancement has aroused deep concern.
Students Of sociology and right-miBded
people in general are prompted to inquire
what can be at the bottom of such phe-
nomenon.
Can it be that the course pursued by
these young people Is but a reflection, an
imitation, an echo Of the sentiments and
examples of the older members of the COM
munity from which they are drawn? Can
it be but an echo Of the sentiment and an
imitation of the example of the times in
which their lot has been cast? Have they
but caught from their elders the impress
sion that the only test of merit Is success;
that to succeed is the be-all and end-Al OF
human effort and existence, and that the
manner or means of attaining success are
matters of no consequence?
Such is the inference, and about the
only inference, that can be drawn from
this Oakland incident. The corrupt no.
ton that all is commendable which with
out detection leads to success, with which
modern society is largely permeated, is
working downward and injecting the ris-
ing generation. Men who carry this no.
ton into their business dealings, into
politics, and into the struggle for social
recognition and preferment, are being con-
fronted with the application of the same
idea by their children in the school-room,
in their struggle for educational honors
and advancement.
The San Francisco Alta is justified in
deploring it as "a lanentable state of
AFFAIRS" and in protesting that sits cause
should be sought philosophically." But
with the cause discovered, is not there
also call, and peremptory call, for
remedial philosophy. The remedy is
simple and palpable. The way to cure
the children is TO set them better and
worthy example.

A STRONG CASE AGAINST TO-
BAGCO.

The strongest case yet made against the
use of tobacco, or at least against the ac-
quirement of the tobacco habit BIZ youth
generally and by students particularly,
has been presented by DR.. Seaver, the
college physician and instructor in ath-
letics at Yale,

because it is based on results of an unbi-
ased comparative study.
Among the users and non-users of to-
bacco in the senior class he finds by actual
measurement that smong the latter the
lung capacity has increased about IS per
cent over the smokers. The excess in in
crease of chest imitation amounts to 10 per
cent. They have increased their stature
by 20 per cent. more, and have added to
their weight by . per cent more than
have the smokers. These results have not
been obtained by random or haphazard
investigations with but single set of
students. but by observations extending
through several years. Their influence on
the students has been manifested by alb
stention from the habit among the boat
crews and athletic clubs, where it is made
a condition of membership.
As TO mental effects, DR.. Seaver reports
that of those who received junior appoint

admitted. however, that the force of the
latter comparison is somewhat modined
by the fact that not more than 80 per cent.
OF the students have been users of tobacco.
Nevertheless these facts and figures,
reached by methods so careful, and ema-
mating from = source so reliable, are con-
elusive as to the dwarfIns and facilitating
effects OF the habit, both physically and
mentally. No ambitious youth, nor the
parents or guardians of such, can afford
to disregard them. Where the habit has

1 BLIND PARTISAN CRITIC.

The Kettle Falls Pioneer of the 2ist inst.
prints a Democratic Chuckle," from
which we excerpt the following remark:
II the leaders of the Democratic party in
Washington could have openly dictated the
oolicy OF majority of the Republican news
papers In this state, since the adjournment oil
the legislature, they could not have laid better
foundation for the next campaign than Is en-
bodied in their vicious srraignment OF the party
for which they assume to SPEAK.
Just why anybody should "chuckle" be-
cause in some particulars the people have
been victimized by men to whom high
official duties have been entrusted, the
PosT-INTELLrGENcER fails to see. A news
paper that can rejoice at the mismanage-
ment of public affairs, simply because the
responsibility rests upon the political
party in opposition to his own, must have
a very extraordinary quality of patriotic
sentiment.
1t is perhaps natural that journal thus
considering the interests of its party be-
fore the interests of the state, should be
SO perverted in its moral character as
to fail to appreciate the courage which has
prompted the Republican newspapers of
the state in their outspoken denunciation
Of certain faithless members of their own
party. Instead of attempting to cover up
or to palliate the rank offenses of the
lieutenant governor and his little coterie,
they have spoken with frankness, re-
pudiating utterly both offenses and Of
tenders.
This is characteristic of the Republican
party. 1t is its habit to hold its members,
even including its men of highest rank,
to strict accountability, and if they go
wrong it does not leave their punishment
to the opposition party. The secret of the
moral strength of the party is this practice
of disciplining its own offending members.
No other point in its policy commends it
more strongly to the people; and it is
only once in great while that 1t encoun-
tiers critic like the Pioneer, so morally
blind as to deem this great merit subject
for q partisan "chuckle."

A sELr-EvrpENr MEASUREMENT.

A Boston gentleman" evidently of the
Mugwump class who draw upon their
imagination for their facts and trust to
public credulity for their acceptance, has
been favoring the Herald of that city with
a carefully concocted statement which he
offers as an "object lesson" on what he is
pleased to term, with sarcastic intent,
"the beauties of the protective system"
He says that with the new tariff staring
him in the face he undertook to import
SIS worth of cigars. The new tariff on
cigars is IS per cent. ad valorem and s4.50a
pound, to which, after they pass through
the custom house, an internal revenue tax
of 80 cents hundred is added" This
Boston gentleman" says that his SIS
worth of cigars were appraised at s54 by
the customs officers-why the increase he
fails to state-and then asks the public to
accept the following as true statement
of the final cost of his cigars:

JUVENILES CHEATING.

IL has been discovered that one-half of
the pupils in the graduating class of the
High School in Oakland, California, were
guilty of cheating in the preparation of
their examination papers for recent grad
uating exercises. Oakland, it must be re-
membered, is the educational center of
California. The citizens pride themselves
on the high standard Of their schools and
the exceptional average of intelligence
and refinement Of the community. Tho
State University is in the environs of Oak
land, and that city is noted for the number
and high reputc of its academies, semi
nsries. public schools, libraries, literary
societies and churches.
Oakland is in large measure residence
suburb of San Francisco. and quite large
percentage of its population consists ofthe
families of the prominent business men,
members of the learned professions and of
the iiterati Of the metropolis. OF these
characteristics and advantages the average
oaklander is never tired OF Boosting. These
being the facts, this High School revela-
ton has caused 4 surprise and shock tar
greater than would be occssioned by like
revelations from less noted and pretentioGs
quarters.
That one or small proportion of the
pupils in large graduating class should
crib and cheat in their examination papers
would perhaps not be e matter Of surprise
in any quarter; no; even in Oakland. But
that full half Of the most promising
pupils in High School drawn from such
resort 10 downright swindling a. 9 means

absence had no such effect, and if Miller
was citizen the day before he reached the
age of q, then this decision implies that
there is limit Of time within which citi-
zen must return to this country or be held
to have renounced his allegiance and be-
come expatriated.
In other words, an American citizen,
though he may never renounce his alleg-
lance to this country nor exercise the
rights of citizenship in any other, must
within some limit Of time return to his
country or lose his citizenship. The
courts have not yet sustained this decision.
Perhaps they may not. Itseems un-Ameri-

There is an old adage that a prevaricator
should be careful about going into details
and statistics. He needs to be far more
careful than one who strictly sticks TO the
truth. He should be sure TO make all
parts OF his story dovetail, the one into the
other. This the Boston gentleman has
Ezoss recklessly neglected. In the first
pace. no Boston gentleman worthy of
tie name would be 80 great

an insane asylum or TO be mulcted TO the
fullest extent he can bear for his clearly
proven Grass prejudice against home pro-
auctions. No man should have the right
TO go abroad for such cigars wherewith to
poison the free air of America.

A recent death in Vermont has served as
a reminder to the Hartford Post that Tru-
man Smith, classmate of the deceased at
Yale in 1916, was offered a seat in Presi-
dent Taylor's cabinet, which be declined
because, as chairman ofthe Wing National
Committee che had advocated General
Taylor's nomination for the Presidency,
and therefore could not take Office from
him. No such rehnements prevail in
these latter days. and he who should utter
and be controlled by them would be
deemed an inveterate crank in the present
advanced state of political ethics.

Eisstatements made By George Parks, postrnas-

nor true that received commission as dsputy
United states marshal last week, but il is fact
that was commissioned something less than q
year ago. II is net true that l was sent 10 this
place BY United States Marshal Brown in any
capacity whstever. Mr.. Parks depends alto
gether upon his imagination when he saws that
commissions for deputy marshals were received
here sunday or ai any other time for SIX of
the men employed as guards over the propsrty of
the Seattle Iron and Coal COMPANY at
this place. and that they were sworn in BY a
notary here. II is true that received bulky
package through the mail on the I-th inst,
which no doubt led our worthy ter to
suspect that il contained commissions for the
so-called Pinkerton men. I wish to assert rosi-
lively that there are 10 deputy marshais here
under the direction or by the order OF United
States Marshal Brown. Yours respectfully.
