Shipbuilding in the South.

The award OF the construction of two
batticships to the Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock Company is note
worthy as indicating the remarkable pro-
gress the South has made in the Industrial
arts in the comparatively short period since
the war. While it is true that the great
ship yards at Newport News are the work
OF the leading spirit of a railway corpora
tion which was not of Southern origin,
yet its connections and affiliations at the
present time are distinctly Southern, and
it constitutes one OF the most notable In
iustries OF the Old Dominion.
OF course, there are other shipyards in
the Southern States OF more or less i'm
portance, but cniy one, at Alglers, La, with
facilities adequate to the construction Of
modern batileships. The present achieve
ment OF the Newport News company was
hardly counted among the possibilities
by lis managers when The plant was es-
tablished. It was called into existence,
in fact. by The. acceptance of a bid for
a commercial steamship, and so the ac-
ceptance OF us bid for the two battleships

when he has rendered the State no service
that would give him a claim to consIdera
tion.
While it is no more than right, therefore,
that offices under the government should
be held only by its citizens, it is no less
desirable that the greatest care should
be exercised in the naturalization of
foreigners. There is considerable loose
ness in the methods and requirements re-
lating TO the process OF naturaIiza ton.
One rule, and a stringent one at that.
ought to apply in every case. 1t is an
open question whether the period OF ante
naturalization residence in the country
should not be extended beyond the present
term OF five years. One thing is quite
certain and that is that very large pro-
portion of naturalized for eigners fail
utterly to appreciate the dignity, the re-
sponsibilities, and the duties OF American
citizenship, and for that reason they are.
in their collective capacity, rather dis
advantage than an advantage to the
body polite. This is said with the fullest
possible recognition, OF course, of the
thousands, aye millions of natura llzed
citizens who are an honor and a source
OF strength TO the state.
The whole subject OF naturalization is
one OF such grave Importance in its ulti-
mate consequences that our ab,est states
men cannot give 1t their considerable too
soon OF too thoroughly.

The proceedings today opened with al

for the Defender. and Mr.. Aisquith, Lord
Dunraven's counsel as to the advisahilit

After this Lord Dunraven was recalled

who said that any such changes Of ballast
as was charged would handicap rather
than aid the yacht. He said she had
been found to be stiff enough for any
weather, and the addition of ballast would
only retard her.
He also stated that only three tons
of movable ballast had been provided
and that it would require AT least fourteen
tons TO sink the boat four inches beyond
her measured water line. After Mr..
Aisquith had made Mr.. Herreshoff go over
his statements several times and had failed
to tangle him up, Mr.. c. Oliver Iselin,
the managing member OF the Defender
syndicate, took the stand.
He told in answer to Mr.. Choate's qGes-
tions just what was done on the De-
fender on the Friday night preceding the
first race aud the following night. He
declared with some feeling that no ballast
had been added after the official meas
urement had been taken, and that of
course none had been removed before the
remea su rement.
His testimony was direct and convincing.
He said that ii was absolutely impossible
for The alleged changes in ballast TO have
taken place without his knowledge; that
he certainly would have known If The
Defender was four inches deeper in the
water on the day of the first race than
she had been on the previous day, and
that the quantity of lead necessary to
make such change could not be slowed
so as TO escape his observation.
Mr.. Aisquith gave him u severe cross.

hot under the questions that were asked
by the English barrister. He was inclined
to resent the inference to be drawn from
the questions, and Mr.. AisqGiLh had n
difficult task to obtain direct answers
AT 1910 O'Clock recess was taken for
luncheon.
At 2 p. M. the hearing was resumed
with Mr. Isciin still in the witness chair.
He was followed by Capt. Hank Haff, who
testified positively that there was no ad-
dition OF ballast and no increase of the
water line. He stuck TO that in spite OF
all the subtle,ies OF Mr.. Aisquith's cross
examination and corrobcrated the testi-
mony OF Mr.. Iseiin as to the work on the
Defender before and after the first race
1t was nearly O'Clock before Mr..
Aisauith finished with Capt. Haff, and it
was concluded to adjourn the hearing
till 10 a. m. on Monday.
1t is said ttiat Mr.. David Henderson, who
was Lord Dunraven's representative on
the Defender, las declined to testify for
business reasons.

to a man are opposed to the use OF silver
as q factor in any monetary system, and
they dislike TO purchase our bonds for fear
the silver element will some day obtain

There is sufficient gold in the United
States To supply any sum the administra-
tion may require, but the men who hold

purposes or 10 sandbag the government

Some Phases Of Naturalization.

The refusal of liquor license to an
applicant who was not a fully naturalized
citizen OF the United States, directs at
icntion to the fact that there are a nuinber
of persons resident in the United States
who enjoy all the benefits of It's laws with
oat themselves assuming the duties and
obligations OF citizenship. 1t is a singular
fact, bat one easily susceptible of proof,
that there is quite a number of foreigners
ments in this city who have never taken
even the first step toward naturalization.
Some of these even do not hesitate to speak
sliGhtingiy of the government that enables
them to draw a salary, and to extoi the
institutions OF the country which, for
years ago.
The foreicn-born citizen of the United
States is placed by the Consultation upon
equal footing with the native in all re-
spects, save the election to the Presidency
or Vice Presidency. He enjoys the same
privileges and the same protection; he has
equal claim to all the prefermcnts and all
the enolnments that may fall to the share
of the man born on the soil of the republic.
Wherever he goes the same power protects
him that shields the native. 1t is proper
that this should be so, for the assumption
of the duties of citizen entities him TO all
that Butby the inverse reasoning, the un-
naturalized foreigner should not be per
United to enjoy these privileges, especially

II Ought to Be a Felony.

No doubt the Commissioners anxiety
respecting the carrying of concealed wcap-
ons is fully justified by more or less
Attorney Thomas is in the dire ction OF
strengthening the law regulating the sale
of weapons of all kinds. IT will urquesuon-
ably act more as n deterrent to make
Imprisonment the alternative penalty for
violating the provisions of the statute.
With all the precautions thrown about the
sale of dangerous weapons, however, it is
n question if the core of the evil is reached.
There is no doubt if law Were enacted
prohibiting the sale in the District alto
gether that there would be but little dirni-
mutton in the number of weapons sold TO
residents, because they could be obtained
from dealers in other cities. However Gd-
visable or useful, therefore, may be the
law regulating the sale Of dangerous weap-
ons, IL does not strike at the root OF the
evil, even though the dealer be threatened
with Incarceration.
The most effective remedy against the
carrying of concealed weapons will be to
make the offense a felony instead OF u
misdemeanor, and to make the penalty
both fine and imprisonment, the latter to
be not less than thirty days nor more
than twelve months. While this might not
nave a deterrent effect upon the profess
sional lawbreaker, ii would uId cubtedly re-
strain the sporting element and the hun

The suddenness with which Lord Dun

in which he departed for England after

but sufficiently tinged with stage fright"
to make him wish he hadn't. His charges
against the owners of the Defender were
ridiculous from any standpoint, and they
must have been made more in spirit OF
bravado than from any other cause.
The report of the committee of inquiry
will doubtless disclose that the Defender
was not tampered with; that she was sailed
fairly unde the rules of the regatta, and
that both her owners and crew have been
grossly maligned. Perhaps the report will

state the case in milder terms, but it will
emphaticaliy deny Lord Dunraven's libel,
and brand him In courteous English with
the epithets used by Mr.. Isclin, which, By
the way, were that he was a .lia and a
blackguard."
Should war be declared between the
United States and England n few such
officers as Lord Dunraven would be looked
upon as special blessing by the soldiers of
our army. They would march their men
up the hill in bold ar ray and thenmarch them
down again to fight another day. They
would bluster and brag and look danger
ously astUte, but their fIerceness would
end in a Dunraven fluke. But all Eng
lishmen are not Dunravens any more
than all dogs are Gu rs, and should there be

Every man that carries concealed

may be otherwise inclined, is a menace

may be but the signal for further develop
ment, which will place 1t in the very front
OF the great shipbuildiDg establishments OF
the country.
There is little doubt but that the success
OF the Virginia company will stimulate this
sort OF enterprise in the South, which IL
Is specially favored by nature in this
respect by reason of a mild climate that
makes ID possible TO work nearly all the
year around. Wilmington, Beaufort, Port
Royal, Pensacola, Mobile, Galveston, and
other points not yet as well known as these
cities, contain the possibilities of grea, es-
adjustments like that at Newport News.
They may not all get shipyard where big
men-of-war can be constructed, but they
may foster establishments where small
cruisers, gunboats, and torpedo boats can
be built. and the merchant marine en-
larged.
The Southern people are quick to take
advantage OF opportunities when these are
presented to them. Here is one that they
are not likely to permit to go by.
