ATHENA, NOVEMBER 20, 1908

The Walla Walla rumpus brings to
mind the fact that thousands Of un
naturalized aliens vote at every election.
It is only necessary that they should
declare their intention to become citi-
zcns. Then if they have been in this
country from six months to two years
the time varies in the twelve states
with alien voters-they may go to the
polls with native-born Americans and
cast their ballots. The right to vote is
a gift from the state, on the comforting
or withholding of which there is no lin
itation save that contained in the If
teenth amendment to the constitution.
That says that the suffrage may be de-
MED to no one on account Of race, color
or Of any previous condition of servi-
tude. In the exercise of the discretion
allowed to the states, Connecticut, for
instance, has required that voters must
not only be citizens OF the United States
but that they must also be able to read
English. Ia Mississippi voters must be
citizens, and must be able to read or to
understand the constitution; whereas in
Nebraska an alien who need have been
In the United States only six months,
and who, thirty days before election,
declared his intention Of becoming
citizen, may vote, whether he can read
English or even speak it. In the great
majority of states voters must be citizens
and in all the states judges exercise wide
discretion in admitting to citizenship
those aliens who have lived the neces-
sary five years in the country, and made
their declaration Of intention to become
citizens at least two years before apply
ing for their final papers.

There has never been any peculiar
punishment invented to fit the crime Of
the man who for the sake Of gain will
deliberately supply savages with guns
with which to carry on war against his
own countrymen, but doubtless there
ought to be. In connection with this
subject it is interesting to notice the re-
cent removal by Germany from her gun
makers of the prohibition against send
lug guns to China guns into the muz-
zles Of which German soldiers may have
u look in some future Pekin expedition.

Our millionaires' daughters may marry
English dukes and earls and thus with
American money repair the financial
decay OF the English land values. But
the few such family alliances that can

GRAND AVENUE.
CHIEF JUSTICE MILLS HEARD
LONG ARGUMENTS YEsTER
DAY IN CHAMBERS.
judge Takes the Matter Under Ad-
visement--A semlcolon Causes
Trouble

After hearing the argument In the
case OF the town Of Las Vegas rs. the
city OF Las Vegas, relative TO the
keeping open OF the Grand avenue ex-
ienfion. Judge Mills took the matter
under adyisement The town, repre-
scented by veeder u Yeeder, claimed
that the city Of Las Vegas was nol
1 party 10 Inc anit, but only abutting
property holders could appear; also
thai the condemnation proceedings
were illegal. and further that the town
had exclusive control Of that portion
Of the disputed road lying within ITS
limits.
To such arguments as these, CITY
Attorney Rogers made answer that AZ
far as the alleged condemnation pro
ceedings were concerned, the order
of the court opening the road wa
, still iii fun force and effect, and thai
the proceedings could not be attacked
c%ollaterally. Moreover, that the con
demnation proceedings had been care
fully brought, that the city's money
had been paid for the land taken
and that the other side had been rep
resented by m attorney. II the mat
Tor went through without objections
by the attorney, the other side wai
now estopped from declaring the pro
ceedings Illegal, The matter OF th'
condemnation proceedings was, II
fact, ancient history and could neye
be brought UP again.
The city attorney quoted the terri
torial statute 10 show TINT q spccia
easement was given 70 the cit!
for il distance 81 two miles from II
limits The other Side argued that III
statute did not extend To streets, blu
confined the easement to sewers, tn
argument turning upon the interprt
tation OF the punctuation. The city al
torney quoted authority To show tina
as the court had accepted one intel
probation within a year. II settled tn
point. When the road had been opel
ed the court had clearly interprete
the clause Iii such manner AZ % max
the easement apply to roads an
streets M well Ms sewers.

RARE METALS.

A short time ago DR.. Charles r.
Reyes, president Of the New Mexico
school OF mines, announced the dis
cpyery In the mountains near Socorro
OF certain ores which he believed to
carry the rare and much sought for
metal radium, about which the sci
entific journals are now making SO
much commotion. DR.. Reyes Is now
ready TO announce that his discovery
has already turned out as he expected
and that he has found radium in these
ores. The main part of the ore ON
tains the rare mineral uranium to the
amount Of SIS per cent Il seems likely
that, lpsides radium, the ore also
| carries the other rare elements, actin.
ium and poIionium. all of which pos
sess high radial activity The ore in
question Is nov being carefully inves-

ment by Prof, r. G. Lincoln, and in

r. M. Bogy. The results Of these in.
~yestigations will be made known as
soon as the experiments have been
completed. The extent Of the deposit
of this rare ore Is not known q the

Thursday morning OF last week. pre-

the offices OF the lumber companies in
Grand Junction. The officer visited
were those OF the Raney Perce Lumber

with the exception Of the P. A. Rice
Office. from which they were frightened
away before doing any damage. The
booty secured amounted to the small
sum OF about sl2. not including few
copper cents which they took or threw
away. Following is the detailed account
Of their depredations:
At the Ramey Perce company's office,
the burglars drilled into and blew open
the small Office safe. The door was
blown of and flew across the Office ahd
through the window. A drawer full Of
valuable papers was also blown through
the window and across the street into
the weeds. but all OF them were recovered
