The Dual PaStorate Experiment
Proves TO Be a Failure.

From New York comes the information that
. justice OF the supreme Court, Judge Pryor,
has refused 10 nsturslize foreigners who can
not speak the English language, and an
nounced his discrimination 10 refuse natural
ization 10 any foreigner who has not read the
Constitution of the United States. This may
seem a little drastic 20 some persons. but,
after ALL il is tho proper coarse 10 pursue.
We have been altogether too liberal and too
lax in this matter of naturalization. and 10 IS
about time something were done in the way
of scrutinzing the charscter as well as the
qualifications of those who seek to avail
themselves Of the rights and privileges which
American citizenship confers. No man who
does not speak our language. ana who ~ not
sufficiently acquainted with it to be able 10
read ara understand our fundamental law
ought 10 be admitted 10 citizenship. There
Is ignorance enough to contend with and con-
troll on the part Of those upon whom citizon-
ship has already bean conferred. without in
cressiug thst dangerous element by adding to
the number of strangers to our language and
our laws. ANY man honestly seeking Citizen
ship, and who is worthy OF the honor, will
