.INCONCRUOUS NATURALIZATION LAWS.

-HE courts often Ana incOngruities
IL the statutes Of the states, and
LZorSA not ihfrequenty in those OF the
4 dANNN federal government. Judge Car
- Ger, OF Chicago, discovered one 3
.aaA few days ago when Lee Guy Dean,
en- intelligent young Japanese,
- applied 10 him for naturalization
papers. The court sought In vain for either Law or
precedent which would justify him in granting the
Jap's application. The young man win have TO
continue, for some time at least, an alien.
'sThe statute on naturalization" said Judge Car
ter, 'reads that any free white man, or native Of
Africa or allen Oi African descent may be natural
lied, bat that does not apply TO MOngOlians, and
Japanese is surely Mongolian." This interpreta.
tOn Of the law seems unquestiOnably correct, but it
ts pretty hard on japanese who may settle In this
country and want 10 become citizens. The people
Of that nationality have made greater advances in
the last fifty years than any other people IN the
world. None but the more intelligent emigrate to
the United States; and If they did their total NUM-
bers are so few, and their ability to assmilate
customs and adapt themselves to strange institu-
tiOns is extraordinary that they could not Justly
be regarded as a menance, like the Chinese. But
according to Judge CaTters decision, although the
most ignorant ROumanian Jews African negroes,
Huns, P0lacks and Italians may be and are con-
verted into citizens by thousands within few years
after they touch the shores OF America, q bright,
active and ambitious japanese, with diploma from
an American university, must be denied that right
and have withheld from him all the privileges and
opportunities that citizenship carries with it.
Those who believe in the doctrine OF "America
for Americans" may consistently argue that the
Jap ought not, under any circumstances, to be
naturalized. But his exclusion, while we admit all
the rihTah of Europe, may reasonably excite his
resentment and would rouse the indignation OF his
government II it did not dislike to lose it's more
Intelligent and progressive subjects. Judge Oar.
ters ruling calls attention again to the WEAKNESSES
and Inconsistencies OF our naturalization as well as
our immigration, laws. If congress intends ever to
revise them and make them Just, suitable to mod.
ern conditions and q protection instead of g
menance to the cOuntrys peace and prosperity, this
winter would be good time to begin.

70 the rule. zenObia, AspasIa, CleOpatra, or even
Maria Theresa do not furnish data enough to over
throw the idea that long prevailed, which was that
physical force Youchsaed to men, was the dOminat-
Ing force In the world, to which morals Of intellect
we're inferior. In-the last fifty years women have
begun more and more TO assert themselves. For
merly ruling only In the home their tact and intu
iti0ns have become 90 important TO the human race
that they are no longer ignored. It is women who
have helped In every moral and patriotic issue
since this country was established and it is
today who are teaching men the principles OF true
moral government It is true that there are those
who have no confidence in woman suffrage, but
they have been compelled to admit that the women
have won 8 substantial victory by showing that
men have not reached their ideals. Women are
not perfect, but they have met every argument that
men can advance, and have scored victories in
many ways. We do not pretend to say that women
have all virtues or al knowledge, but in the light
OF past decades there s to doubt that this
s going to be the century OF women and that It is
going to be the best in history.

w The American Lawyer, q very
able and Interesting periodical T. Of the opinion
that the outlook for the profession t represents is
not encouraging to the average practitioner,
mainly because too many persons are trying to
make q living at ID. The number Of lawyers is
increasing at q much more rapid rate than the
population or tue amount Of legal business. In 1891
there we're 5S law schools in the country, with
500 students. Nov there are 100, with 1900
students. The last census recorded l14OO0 law
yers in active practice. It Is the most crowded Of
81 the professions, except teaching and medicine.
According to Mr.. Chaplin, the distinguished editor
Of the American Lawyer, the lawyers chance for
business Is somewhat in reverse ratio to the supply
Of lawyers. BE says that all law business may be
divided into ten parts, reckOned prOpOrtOnately as
follows: Real estate, 8, corporations, 2, CONNER.
cial business and collections, q Wills and Estates Il
accident and negligence SUITS /; defense of crim-
mails, 1. In all these Mr.. Chaplin says, except the
last, the lawyer is beginning to be superseded by
other agencies. The unattached lawyer finds it
difficult to compete with the title insurance CON.
panies in real estate. sSuch companies have q
standing that most lawyers cannot reach, and they
do business on such scale that they take fees
that most lawyers cannot afford. In corporation
practice similar situation arises from the fact that
many corporations keep a legal department. and
incorporation companies can and do provide the
legal work for new corporations at q fee that an
independent lawyer can hardly afford. Collection
agencies with ten-dOllar.a-week employees take col
lection business at rate that the independent law
yer cannot afford to work for etsf
Mr.. Chaplin sees IN the legal profession as IN many
other branches 0f business 8 tendency toward
absorption into the hands Of the comparatively few.
This he believes TO be true especially ol the crimi
nal practice. This despondent editor tells Us that
he haa been driven reluctantly to the conclusion
that within 20 years the individual general pFae
tce lawyer viii be extinct except in remote cOun-
try districts. AS calling ne declares the law Is
fast becoming obsolete.
This Is undoubtedly pessimistic view and one
that will not be accepted either By majority Of
the legal profession, or the public 1t large.
The legal profession is crowded undoubtedly, but
not more 80 than The profession Of medicine and
some others that might be named.
We have an abiding faith that the average
American lawyer will continue to take care OF him
self.

-A&0 addressing the reunion Of the
TFiS1 Grand Army Of the Republic, s'is
llkJ4s too pure to be used for the erection
SecPf ct q monument to any rebel. p
These sentiments are echoes OF q passion and BIT.
terness Of q generation ago--of sentiments long
since discarded BY all loyal and brave men. It is
safe 20 say they met no sympathetic response from
the men whose breasts we're barred to the storms OF
battle. They are the words Of the warrior OF the
suffers camp, whose wrath neither blood nor time
can ever appease.
For some years the secliOns have been drawing
closer together in fraternal reunion. With the
lapse OF time there has come q broadening kn0Wl-
edge Of the absolute fidelity to conviction Of both
armies in The great interDecne struggle. The
years have brought q kindlieF sympathy and a
deepening love to all except those small souls who
feast upon hate.
There have been too many evidences recently of
the kindly feeling, admiration and respect of the
veterans Of the Federal army for the soldiers Of the
C0nfederacy for any Importance to be attached to
the utteranees Of Captain Potter. It has been but
few days since the commander Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic issued letter breathing the greatest
tenderness and profound respect for the men who
wore the gray At the last session OF congress
bill was unanimously passed providing for the care
of a cemetery in which were buried Confederate
dead. The magnanimOus return OF war relics, the
decoration Of graves and thousands OF cOurtesies
and kindly deeds by Northern veterans have shown
budb the war was over
The sentiment of the South has not only been
voiced in expressions Of good will, but her sons
have shed their blood in defense of the flag Call
the roll Of the heroes of the Spanish American war;
and the South answers with Fitzhugh Lee, Joe
Wheeler, Victor Blue, Richmond Hobson and
thousands Of others who eagerly offered their lives
to their country. From Cuba to the Philippines
stratched the chain Of Southern valor and courage
The South needs m defense against the attack Of
Captain Potter, and least Of all can be sally the
memory Of Robert E. Lee, 8 monument to whom
would cOnsecrate and hallOw any soil; nor can the
meant-to- be contemptuous term Of "rebel" detract
from the glory Of one who 'wore the white rose of
blameless life, and who embodied within himself
the highest aspirations and the nobIest virtues
linked with tTanseendant genius and daUntless eOur
age.
This estimate of the character OF Lee is shared by
the civilized world, Captain Potter is out Of har-
mony With the times, and may be dismissed with
pity.

The statesmen who predicted twenty-five or
thirty years ago that when the pension expend-
lures Of The United States reached S75 600 600 they
would begin to fell of and continue steadily to do
so were wOefully mistaken. AS the civil war, upon
which the great bulk of these pensions is based
cedes the number OF pensions and the amount paid
out for them grows incessantly. At the beginning
Of last month the United States pension roll pass
ed the one one hundred million mark for the first
time in history. The actual number reported on
the first Of August, 1901, was 1,O01, ,497. In con-
nection with these figures it snteresUing to remem-
Der that the total enrolment Of the United States
army during the period OF 1s61.65 was 2, ,S59, 1872
Of these there killed IN battle and died from
wounds end diseases 304, 1863 men. The war came
to an end nearly forty years ago, and since then
great numbers more must have passed away. The
extension and increased liberaty OF the terms upon
which pensions are granted, the food Of private
pension bills that pour through congress ct every
session and the frauds that are worked Oh on the
government much more than Offset the natural de-
crease in the number Of pensioners. We have pen
sioners Of the OF 1872 still On the roll, being
widows Of soldiers Of that var. There were about
1000 men enlisted In the United States army for
The war with Spain, first end last and nobody cen
calculate how long the pension roll viii continue ct
its present gigantic proportions, how far above
them it viii 50.
