In a United States court at Phila-
delphia, recently, several applicants for
naturalization as American citizens
were before the bar. Judge Butler
questioned each one Of them to see
what evidence there might be OF his be-
ing attached to the principles OF the
Constitution Of the United States. and
well-disposed to the good order and
happiness oil. the same" To n appli-
can't he said. What privilege will you
get by becoming a citizen OF the United
States?' II would get a license, SIR
answered the man. In Philadelphia. 1t
seems, no one can obtain a license TO
sell intoxicating liquor unless he is a
citizen of the United States, and this
man had truly betrayed the fact that
the secret Of his attachment TO the
principles of the Constitution" was his
desire to poison the people with aico-
holic liquors! One purpose of our laws
relating to naturalization should be TO
exclude from the privilege men whose
motives are OF this type. They are al
together too common among the appli-
cants for citizenship.
