NATURALIZATION, LAND

Forgery and Perjury to Secure Citi-

The special investigation of the subject

attorney general. and the consequent prose-
cutions. reveal condition of affairs calling
for the immediate attention of the Con-
gress. Forgeries and perjuries of shame

petrated, not only in the dense centers of
population. but throughout the country;
and it is established beyond doubt that very

IN THE INTEREST OF
HUMANITY AND MORALS.

There seems good ground for the BELIEF
that there has been a real growth among
the civilized nations of a sentiment which
will permit a gradual substitution of other
methods than the method of war in the set
Element of disputes. 1t is not pretended
that yet we are near a position in which
it will be possible wholly to prevent war;
or that just regard for national interest
and honor Will, in all cases, permit of the
settlement of international disputes by ar
bitration; but by mixture of prudence and
firmness with wisdom we think it is possible
to do away with much of the provocation
and excuse for war. and at least in many
cases to substitute some other and more
rational method for the settlement of dis
putes. The Hague Court offers so good an
example of what can be done in the direc-
ton of such settlement that it should be
encouraged in every way.
Further steps should be taken. In Presi-
dent Mekinley's annual message of Dec.
5, 1898, he made the following recommends
ton: 1.-The experiences of the last year
bring forcibly home to us sense of the
burdens and the waste of war; We desire.
in common with most civilized nations, TO
reduce to the lowest possible point the
damage sustained in time of war by peace
able trade and commerce. 1t is true we
may suffer in such cases less than other
communities, but all nations are damaged
more or less by the state of uneasiness and
apprehension into which an outbreak of
hostiiities throws the entire commercial
world. Ii should be our object, therefore.
to minimize, so far as practicable. this in
evitable loss and disturbance. This pur-
pose can probably best be accomplished by
an international agreement to regard all
private property at sea as exempt from
capture or destruction by the forces Of bel
ligerent powers. The United States gov
eminent has for many years advocated this
humane and beneficent principle, and is now
In position 10 recommend 1t 10 other pow

tives- L therefore suggest for your con-
sideration that the executive be authorized

/ cordially renew this recommendation.
The Supreme Court, speaking on Dec IL
1859, through Peckham, j., said: cit is, we
think. historically accurate to say that this
government has always been. in It's views

ital is now invested in foreign ships; and
among foreign nations il often happens
that the capital of one is largely invested
in the shipping of another. Furthermore;
as a practical matter, it may be mentioned
that while commerce destroying may cause
serious loss and great annoyance. IL can
never be more than a subsidiary factor in
bringing TO terms a resolute foe. This Is
now we'll recognized by all of our naval
experts. The fighting ship. not the COM

tablish her place among the great powers
of the world.
Interparliamentary Union.
Last year the Interparliamentary Union
for International Arbitration met at Wen
ma, GOO members of the different legisla-
lures of civilized countries attending. Ii
was provided that the next meeting should
be in 1904 at St. Louis, subject to our Con-
gress extending an invitation. Like The
Hague tribunal, this Interparliamentary
Union is one of the forces tending towards
peace among the nations Of the earth, and
ii is entitled TO our support. / trust the
invitation can be extended.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY,
INSULAR POSSESSIONS.
Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines
and Porto Rico.

The rural free-delivery service has been
steadily extended. The attention of the
Congress is asked to the question of the
compensation of the letter carriers and
clerks engaged in the postal service, espec-
tally on the new rural free-delivery routes.
More routes have been installed since the
first Of July last than in any like period in
the Departments history. While a due re-
gard to economy must be kept in mind in
the establishment of newroutes. yet the ex-
tension of the rural free-delivery system
must be continued, for reasons of sound
public policy. No governmental move
nent of recent years has resulted in
greater immediate benefit to the people of
the country districts. Rural free-delivery.
taken in connection with the telephone, the
bicycle, and the trolley, accomplishes much
toward lessening the isolation OF farm life
and making il brighter and more attractive.
In the immediate past the lack of just such
facilities these has driven many OF the
more active and restless young men and
women from the farms TO the cities; for
they rebelled at loneliness and lack OF men
tai companionship. Ii is unhealthy and un-
desirable for the cities to grow at the ex-
pense of the country; and rural free-deliy-
iery is not only good thing in itself. but is
good because IL is one or the causes which
check this unwholesome tendency towards
the urban concentration OF our population
at the expense of the country districts II
is for the same reason that we sympathiZe
with and approve OF the policy Of building
good roads. The movement for good roads
is one fraught with the greatest benefit TO
the country districts.
Two Expeditions.
I trust that the Congress will continue
to favor in all proper ways the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition. This exposition COM
memorates the Louisiana purchase. which
was the first great step in the expansion
which made us a continental nation. The
expedition of Lewis and Clark across the
continent followed thereon, and marked the
beginning of the process of exploration and
colonization which thrust our national
boundaries TO the Pacific. The acquisition
of the Oregon country, including the pres
ent States of Oregon and Washington, was
