As TO NATuRALIzED CITIZENS.

The president in his message notes
that our relations with. Turkey are not
satisfactory, and this is due largely to
the fact that our statutes do not al
low this government to admit any dis
tinction between native and natural
lied Americans abroad" In other
words, we have in Turkey many Amer
lean citizens who make that country
their home and still refuse to accept
the governmental conditions existing
there. Citizens are refused admittance
into Turkey or are expelled after en-
trance, and as Americans they immedi-
ately enter protest, with the result that
the two countries are in continual tur-
moil. -
The solution OF the difficulty is easy
enough. and in solving 1t remedy will
follow an abuse already existing by
reason of the demands of naturalized
citizens In other countries. The trouble
is that this government gives to citi-
aenship a prestige which too many al
legged citizens use for their own ag-
grandizement. In foreign countries
everywhere are American citizens who
are never heard Of unless by some
transgression of the law of the land In
which they live they are brought to
account, and then they demand the
recognition of their rights as American
citizens. Foreigners come to America,
and having made competence In ten
or twenty years. go back to their ma
tive lands to enjoy it, and they are
absolutely valueless to this country,
contributing nothing. doing nothing,
caring nothing. yet retaining their
rights as American citizens and ready
at any moment to demand the assist
ance Of government to which they
give not one iota of encouragement OF
strength.
The remedy is simple enough and
should be applied. 1t is that three years
or five years residence out of the coun-
try. except in an official capacity, should
deprive a naturalized citizen of his
rights as an American. A law of this
kind would compel residence in the
United States or would relieve this
government of responsibility in case the
person sew fit to establish his residence
under some other. Such a law might
but it's general benefit would more than
atone for that, and the law should be
enacted, and our country be made good
enough to live In when it had been
found good enough to make money in
and to fall back upon when help was
wanted.

With this issue the management and
control OF the observation-disclosures pass to
new ownership. The change involves no
startling transitions. but marks the be-
ginning Of new and greater period of
activity, enterprise and usefulness on
the part Of the great journalistic rep
resentation Of the Pacific Northwest.

in which we live, 1t will stand with
dence for ali that Republicanism means
to our country today.
1t has no enemies to punish, no
grudges to satisfy. no favorltes to re-

nection. not an entangling alliance.

all that makes for the interest Of the
city of Seattle and the state of Wash

the highest happiness and welfare Of
the American people.
In this. It's task. it's hope. its mission.
it will be reinforced by the best ability
and the completest resources that am
pie capital can command. 1t proposes
to acknowledge no superior in journal

Who bravely strive for fame,
And proudly they are going

Whence come these tattered fellowp
With hair so badly torn,
While some, ali cut and battered,
Are by their comrades bornef
And here and there Is limping
A chap with bandaged shin,
And some have both eyes blaekened--
Where have these victims beenf
They've not been in q battle,
Although 1t looks that way;
Their wounds were not inflicted
By men In deadly fray.
All. no! these tattered fellows.
Some cut. some bruised, some lame.
Are heroes who're been playing
A Rugby football game.

They never shrink at mire
For laurels they are striving,
To glory they aspire.
