CITIZEN WONG KIM ARK

(By Enoch Knight)

Advance sheets Of the forthcoming 10th
volume of the United States supreme court
reports contain decision of great interest
tc. the country and particularly to the peo-
pie Of this state. Wong Kim Ark, born in
San Francisco OF parents domiciled there,
went to China on visit In 1890, when he
was II years old. Upon attempting to land
or his return In 1894 he was refused the priv
ilege and deprived of his liberty.
The district court upon habeas corpus
proceedings decided against the contention
of the collector of customs, and the young
Chinaman was discharged upon the ground
that he was a citizen of the United States
At the hearing the district attorney was
permitted to intervene on behalf of the
United States and urged In defense that the
petitioner was shut out by the Chinese OK
clusion act, The case came before the su-
preme court on appeal from the judgment
of the district court and was submitted in
May, 1896, as test case under the clause
of the fourteenth amendment of the con-
stitution, which says: "All persons born
or naturalized in the United States and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citi-
Gems of the United States and Of the state
wherein they reside"

SAILORS SUPERSTITIoNs
Some of the Weird Fancies That Dis
tract Seafaring Souls

Spanish sailors on certain days OF the
week or month lay aloft at sunset and beat
the sheaves and pins OF the blocks to drive
the devil out Of the gear, and the noise they
make Is horrid din. This Is said to have
originated In an order given which resulted
in disaster. A certain Spanish squadron
that had been anchored some time was sur
prised by the enemy and could not make
sail and escape, as all the blocks were rust
ed and useless.
The Spanish sailor has no prejudice
against starting out on a voyage on Fri
day, that being the day on which Columbus
started on his voyage OF discovery. Eng
fish and American sailors will not sail on
that day If they can help It. They would
consider the whole trip hoodooed by such a
beginning.
A sneeze at sea would hoodoo the ship
unless it happened TO turn to the right,
when it brings good luck. Sailors have
faith in odd numbers and naval gunners
carry out this belief In the number Of times
they fire a salute.

PARTING SHOT OF PAT
Salute to General Whose Wife Was
Commander in the Home Field

Two visitors at Camp Black had saluted q
general and passed on when one chuckled
and said: ..
II never meet an officer of that rank
that am not reminded of an incident that
occurred on the veranda of a retired gener-
ais house where l was a visitor He had
just been retired. He had been a brave SOL
der, and his advancement was due omerit.
But his excellent wife had the reputation of
commanding the home field. Her word was
law.
"A Quick-witted son of the old sod had
been employed about the place as a general
utility man. He had the usual weakness.
which caused him to be forgetful, and the
day l was there he had received his dis
charge from the wife for over-indulgence.
There was an agreeable party on the YER
anda as Pat passed with his bundle on his
shoulder. He halted Immediately in front
of the general and saluted him, and then he
said in the hearing of the generals COM

the constitution must be interpreted by
the common law. by which the place of
birth was made the criterion Of ma tlonality,

fourteenth amendment the English rule

Of foreigners as strict as we please, but we
cannot deny citizenship to the native born.
We may even refuse to naturalize the sub
jects of the emperor OF China, but we call
not deny citizenship to their offspring born
here.
Justice Gray takes twenty double column
pages to elaborate the opinion, and It is an
exceedingly able presentation OF the case
all the more elaborate because of the d.
vergence of Views among the members Of
the court Indeed, In no previous instance Of
q divided court can be recalled a conflict
Of opinion more pronounced and insistent
Chief Justice Fuller, with whom Justice
Harlan agrees, writes a dissenting opin-
ion hardly less elaborate and even moro
confident and emphatic In tone. He de-
clares that the rule of the English law that
the child born in England was irretreva-
bly, British subJect-"once an English
man, always an Englishman'-was the
outcome Of the feudal system which con-
nected the subject with the SOIL the allie
glance of liegemen to their lord, and was
never adopted here or considered consistent
with the policy of the American colonies
or states. In general 1t Is true that we
follow the English common law. but the
claim of the crown or the feudal lord as to
the allegiance has never been recognized
here. and would BE- inconsistent with out

was declared ratified. were. and are, aliens,
unless they have, or shall, on attaining
their majority, become citizens by natural
izaton In the United States; and no stat
utOry provision to the contrary is of any
force or effect"
He closes with the following striking
passage: II am of the opinion that the
president and senate by treaty, and con-
gress by naturalization, have the power,
notwithstanding the fourteenth amend
ment, to prescribe that all persons of a
particular race or their children. cannot
become citizens, and the consent to allow
such persons to come here does not carry
with 1t the imposition of citizenship upon
children born to them while in this country
by such consent In spite of treaty and
statute"
1t is apparent that this decision will not
be freely accepted as the last word on the
subject. One university professor Of law
makes this comment:
From the point Of view Of public
policy, the present decision OF the SUI
prone court seems to be q distincs re-
trogres sion. In this age Of rapid transit
citizenship should have more sub,
startial basis than the ancient feudal
doctrine Of birth within the allegiance.
Napoleon, with the progressive spirit
which characterized him in the forma-
tion of his Code, discarded the jus sol
In favor OF the jus sanguinis as the de-
terminlng principle in citizenship.
Great Britain has abandoned the doc =
trine Of indelible allegiance. Almost all
nations now accord to their citizens the
privilege Of expatriation. In view Of
supreme court in giving to a doubtful
clause a construction which is contrary
to the manifest tendency Of ra tions may
we'll be questioned; and IL the matter is
again brought before the court, it will
mot be surprising II the present decision
Is reversed"

policy and the spirit of liberty upon which
we have built a nation. English law de-
clared against expatriati ton, but England
has never abandoned the doctrine OF indel-
ible allegiance, as have nearly all nations.
The dissenting opinion goes on to declare
that not only is the majority conclusion an
tagonfstic to the modern tendency but Is
against the principle involved In our treaty
with China, and an interference with our
express laws on the subject. The chief
justice asserts that the strict rule Of mere
territorial Jurisdiction is not to govern In
such case, but 1t Is the political jurisdic-
ton that Is to be considered. He says

sons has admitted the validity OF this
