LEGAL SAFEGUARDS
ON NATURAL IzATI0h
Columbus Judge Will Check
Matter Of v Undesirable
Citizenship.

Columbus. Aug. 29.-Judge Tod B.
Galloway of the probate court has es-
tablished a precedent in the matter Of
naturallzing foreigners which is a fit-
ting complement to his six years of
public service in, this office. '1s-
Henceforth, naturalization papers
will be granted only after a thorough
hearing and Friday morning of each
week has been set aside as the tina
for hearing all such applications.
Judge Galloway, in deciding upon this
course. said:
"The matter of making citizens OF
the United States has been entered in
to too lightly and unadvisedly and l
am determined to do what little can
to make applicants appreciate tho
boon they are asking. g
''"I believe that an examination In
open court will have a. tendency to
check the professional witnesses, who
seem to be acquainted with the ante
cedents of all of their fellow-country-
men. who, come to this country. The
right Of citizenship cannot be too
carefully; guarded and any safeguards
which can be. legally thrown around
1t should be made available and l be-
lieve this procedure will aid.
"Only recently All application was
made, by one who, on an examination,
had been three times refused In New
York and / thought II the man was
not good enough for that state no
certainly Is not good enough for
Ohio"

Public Building Site Questions,

Senator Fairbanks bill for new build

State and Justice on the square north of
tha War Department building may be re-
garded as in a sense a formal embodI-
ment If the views of the administration
as expressed. according to report. at a re-
cen- cabinet meeting and, 1t Is stated is in
harmony with the general plans of the
Park Commission. As to the necessity
for new home for the State Department
there can be no question, while the govern
ment Is already in process of providing a.
building for the Department of Justice.
The bill now pending proposes that an
entire square be taken for this purpose
Inis Is the only proper method of site pro-
vision. \ government building should he
built on no less than a full block. thereby
avoiding Objectionable neighbors and as
sociations. There was general denur when
the corner opposite the Treasury was des-
ignated for the Department OF Justice
building. for it was felt that no adeouate
architectural display could there be made
whatever the design and material. The
architect himself protested against his
plan being executed under such unfavor-
able conditions
II the site proposed in the Fairbanks hill
has been chosen with reference to its bearing
on the project of the Park Commission for
the emplacement OF future government
buildings a change has evidently occurred
in the minds Of those in charge of this
great scheme of capital Improvement. The
tendency OF any scheme of which this bill
is a part will be to throw some of the
structures to the north of the avenue away
from the great triangle which II was be-
heved would form the general site for all
public structures later TO be erected. If
this new proposition is adopted. IL should
be with some distinct idea of the future
treatment of the immediate vicinity, In
ciEding. perhaps. the acquisition of the

new executive building Is regarded as
among the immediate needs Of the govern
ment, the present sentiment favoring the
preservation of the White House intact
as the official residence of the President,
with provision for his offices outside.
Among the principles governing the choice
of site for either the State or Justice De-
partment that of immediate accessibility
to the executive offices has always been re-
garded as paramount. The new joint de-
partment building can not be safely located
on the assumption that the executive Of
fees viii remain permanently In the White
House. Therefore the choice of the site
named in the Fairbanks bill is to be con-
sidered with reference to the future needs
of the government in making provision for
the Presidents offices. BY designating
the block east of Lafayette Square as the
site for the executive building the SYM
metry of the building scheme in this neigh
borhood VIII be preserved, while ensuring
the necessary proximity between the State
Justice building ard the presidential work
rooms.
In any event, there should be no more
haphaZard site selections leading to prob
lens of difficult solution to confront the
present or the future capital-makers.

still Harping on MY Daughter.

Mr. Bryan's voice is still for the Chicago
platform. The talk about reorganzing the
democratic party on lines accepting the gold
standard as the settled policy of this gov
ernment does not please him. He refuses
to concede anything on the subject to the
opposition. and he warns his party friends
that success is not to be achieved by chang
ing front on great issues under the pressure
of defeat. If they are to win they must be
steadfasr to their principles. In no other
way can they hope to impress the country
with character and sincerity, and gain it's
confidence.
Mr. Bryan evidently assumes that all
those who supported the Chicago platform
in 1896 and 1900 believed in it as he did
But that is very far from being the case
Even in 1895 there were many democrats
who, though unwilling to break with their
party, had serious misgivings as to the
platform. Nor were they surprised at the
party's defeat. Between 1896 and 1900 the
number of men of this kind increased They
were not strong enough, however. to with
stand Mr.. Bryans influence at Kansas City,
and were obliged the second time to accept
a platform to which they did not subscribe
And second time they went to defeat
How many of such men there were cam
not be stated. But 1t is idle for Mr. Bryan
to address them. few or many, on the SUBJ
ject of steadfastness to something they
have never in reality accepted. They voted
for Mr.. Bryan's platform under protest
They did not expect it to win. They were
not deeply grieved when it failed-could
not be because 1t did not represent their
own ideas of what was good for the party
or best for the country. Naturally and
properly they want new party creed It
is not defeat alone that leads them to ask
for this, but desire to see their own views
prevail As a matter OF fact. although they
have voted for him twice for President,
Evening star., 1902-01-09

they have never been, and are not now,
Bryan men, He has no claim upon their
attention in this day of new issues and new
men.
The more cynical of these men might re-
ply to Mr. Bryan by telling him that his
steadfastness is q matter of necessity.
He could not very well Change If he would.
He and his platform are inseparably con-
nected. IL one is done for, both are done
for. He may not hope even to dictate a
new platform. much less stand upon one as
the candidate, If the essence Of the Chicago
platform is now out of favor. But he
talks well even on so discouraging topic.
and nothing is more likely than that he will
keep it up until next convention time.

The Southern Patronage.

The selection by the President of two
democrats to federal offices in Mississippi
will renew in some measure the discussion
about partisanship and patronage that pre-
vailed at the time Ex-Governor Jones Of
Alabama was chosen for the federal bench.
The reason given in this latter case is the
same as that indicated in the former. The
President found 1t advisable in the public
interests to go outside of his party.
Strictly speaking. there is no republican
party in Mississippi. There has not been
one for many years. Even before the pres
ent state constitution was adopted. which
was designed, and operates, to disfranchise
the negroes, the democracy had everything
it's own way in the state. The new consti-
tuition simply eliminated force and fraud
from the election equation. AS a result the
republican organization went to pieces, and
the field was abandoned to the party in
power. The republicans have ceased to put
up state, city, or congressional tickets, and
the electoral ticket is but a form. 1t re-
ceives but few votes, and never has the
ghost of chance to win. 1t need not be
surprising therefore to hear that the Presi-
dent, within the ranks of his own party in
Mississippi, found his choice in the matter
of filling federal offices extremely limited.
The democrats who have been chosen
make, it Is understood, no concessions of
any kind-were not asked to make any.
They were recommended men of COM
potency and good standing, whose appoint
ment would insure a faithful performance
OF the governments commission. But it is
also TO be noted not only that they were
willing to accept the places. but that among
their supporters We're prominent democratic
senator's We have probably heard the last
For Immediately following that episode the
south rose in arms against the President,
and Judge Jones OF Alabama was even ad-
vised to resign his office.
Many southern republicans will complain
OF this treatment 1t is new departure,
and it opens up an interesting field of con-
troversy. But, however the question may
ultimately be settled, one immediate good
effect will be to force the republican state
organizations throughout the south to pre-
sent their best men to the President when
they come to town seeking patronage. They
are admonished that he is inquiring closely
into the character and qualifications of all
applicants. and that mere partisan 'regu-
larity' puts no man through Not every
President has been in position to take this
stand; but Mr.. Roosevelt is, and having
taken 1t he is of course not to be driven
from 1t.
