THE MAKING OF CITIZENS.
Mr.. e. C. Rogers Wishes to Have II
Few Words Anent 1t.


To the Editor of the Globe.
Allow me few words in reference TO your
editorial OF yesterday entitled, The Making
OF Citizens" While l am not disposed to
disagree with your generalization in regard
to the Importance and dignity Of American
citizenship, allow me to say that in the case
in question the Judge and other officials
confront a condition and not a theory
Prior 10 the passage and adoption or the
constitutional amendment Of 1880 a simple
residence Of a farmer in this state for the
period Of four months, and in the United
States for one year, accompanied with a
declaration OF his intention to become a citt-
zen of the United States, entitled MIN TO vote
at all elections in this state, and to hold most.
If not all the offices in the gift of the people
Of the state.
The constitutional amendment of 1895, linn
iting the right OF elective franchise to citl-
zens of the United States, was adopted by
a very large majority OF the voters OF the
state, showing that most OF the very men
who are now applying for full citizenship,
voluntarily voted for the good of the state
as was supposed, to curtail their own rights
and privileges.
That certainly showed no narrow or pro
vincial spirit on their part A little inquiry
would show the writer of the article i'm Ques-
ton that most Of tine men who are now
receiving full citizenship at the hands o. the
courts of this county, are men who have lived
and voted in this city for the last ten Poo
thirty years and most of whom are perua-
nent residents of the city.
To say that these men should be subjected
to such a rigorous examination as To- their
qualifications as citizens, as might perhaps
be properly applied to practically new COM
ers to the United States, is, in my mind.
to state an absurdty.
These matters have all been well cOUs.dary
by the judges and other officials of the couu-
ty and perhaps as carefully and colseieH-
tiously as by the writer Of the article re-
ferred to-
A proper understanding OF these reasons
will perhaps induce you to modify your iudg
ment in the premises. Yours respectfully,
Edward G.. Rogers.

a unanimous vote, and the board ad-

a unanimous vote, ana the DOard al
journed.
D. j. Prendergast, representing the
Carbon Light and Power company,
was an interested spectator at the
meeting. Seen after the board adj
journed, Mr.. Prendergast said he was
not prepared to say whether his firm
would submit another bid. He was
of the opinion that the firm had not
been given fair play in the matter.
The company had put in a proposal
for doing the lighting, which was about
$1,000 less than the amount now paid
for the same service. Instead of be-
ing awarded the contract, the council
had rejected all bids and readvertiSed.
He suggested that perhaps as good a
way as any for him to do would be
to wait until after the new bid called
for was opened, and then go before
the council and agree, if a third adj
vertisement was published, that he
would under-bi the lowest figure.
One thing Mr.. Prendergast said his
company was doing, and that was saw
ing the taxpayers of st. Paul several
thousand dollars, which he thought
should be appreciated.
Charles A Pettingill, representing
the American Development company,
which now has the contract, stated
that the company would submit anoth-
er bid.

is needless to say that Capt Bean and
his men will be entertained most roy
ally While in the city by Lake Michi-
gan. The Company D quartette sang
a number of their original songs in a
particularly happy manner last even
ing. Messrs. Allen, Bookstaver, Bach
and Hinninger compose the quartette,
and that their music was appreciated

which followed each selection. Col. w.

the Minnesota national guard, wit

MAYOR DoRAN's LATEST.
Committee on Police to Inquire
About Our Fellow TOyvnsman."

A meeting of the committee on police of
the assembly is scheduled for o'clock this
evening. The question Of whether Thomas
Flynn, recently appointed to the police force
by Mayor Doran, is eligible for the place will
be considered. Flynn at the time of his ap
pointment was stated by Mayor Doran to be
a native Of Minnesota. When the appoint
ment came up in the assembly last Thurs
day night, President Arosin read from the
Clear Lake Courier of South Dakota an item
to the effect that Our fellow townsman,
Thomas Flynn. had been appointed a member
provides that all patrolmen appointed to the
police force shall have been residents of
the city for two years preceding his appoint
ment. Those who secured the appointment
of Flynn claim that he has been resident
of St Paul for a number of years and Went
temporarily to Dakota as stationary engi-
neer last summer.

person holding an elective office must have
tse qualifications required by the constitution.
A person not having such qualification now,
although qualified at the time of his election,
becomes disqualified, a vacancy ensuing the
same as in case OF death or other disquall-
fcation.
The constitution is the supreme law, and
wipes out all preceding conditions; its oper-
alton depends upon nothing preceding It,
Hence a person elected to the assembly who
had not taken out his second papers is oy

to hold his office. He must be full citizen
for three months to have the qualification OF
an acting legally qualified assemblyman.
