AMERICAN CITIZENS WHO EVADE
OBLIGATIONS TO THEIR COUNTRY.
BY MRS JOHN a LOGAN.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REpUBIIC.
An interesting question has arisen over
tho number Of persons claiming American
citizenship while residing In other eoun-
tries
They claim that they are naturaIized cit
liens. and thereby escape all tho responai-
bflities and burdens Of the Government UNI
der which they live, especially that Of mill
tary service. and Of other legitimate levies
that should be borne by the citizens Of
every Government In the world.
These people promptly register at the
consulates. legations and embassaries Of tho
United States. and then proceed to ply
whatever vocation they please without let
or Mndrance, though II may be in viola
ton Of the laws affecting the citizens Of
the country in which the dodger resides.
They do nothing to advance the interests
Of the United States. They pay no taxes;
they bear none Of the burdens of the Gov
eminent from which they claim protection
Many Of them never visit the United
States after they have once obtained their
naturalization papers. They forget the Eng
lish language. II they have ever learned Il.
and in no way express q desire to be use
full or loyal citizens Of any country. Yet
they make money and hoard II ND for
themselves and for their progeny.
Another class Of evaders Of the laws Of
the land are those citizens who have made
or inherited money in the United States
and then have. taken up residence abroad,
but still claim citizenship in the United
States.
They pay no taxes where they are doni-
ciled. and. by converting everything into
cash or its equivalent, avoid taxation al
together.
They in no way contribute to tho support
Of the Government where they really live,
nor to the one under which they were born
They abuse the one IN which they abide
and denounce that Of their nativity, while
they demand privileges and protection from
both. They are really without . country 80
far a. their loyalty and contribution to the
support Of any II concerned. They travel
much and are sometimes venders Of wares,
upon which they pay no duty.
Another class are those who have made
fortunes IN this country and have spent
them By prodisal living. or lost them In
one way or another.
They 60 abroad until the Storm h ever
and the nine days. wonder q Their collapse
has passed. but ultimately prolonr their
stay Indefinitely. % that they really be

A FOOLS AGE.

Courage in senseless undertaking Is plain TOM
foolery. That J. W. Glenister, athlete braved the
Niagara rapids and out alive Is not reason to
congratulate him II for the performance Of great
deed. That he still lives is remarkable, and he should
congratulate himself upon the fact Others will
slider him kind Of lunatic, who was preserved by
the fate which protects those blessed with brains
enough to protect themselves.
1t is heralded that Genister successfully" swan
the rapids At the time, 1t is chroniced that,
twenty minutes after beginning his swim, he was
taken from the water unconscious, gashed on the
head, arms back and legs The truth Is that he ven
tured into roaring whirl of waters, in which one
mans strength is nothing compared to the tremen-
dous rush Of tremendous force.
Tossed like cork, battered against rocks, now
sucked under thrown to the surface, helpless
a babe-the plaything Of an energy which could op-
crate all the lighting plants in the entire country-he
finally drifted limp and all but dead, into the quieer
eddies at the end Of the rapids. Then, raving, he
was picked up, carried to hotel and put to bed 1t
is hoped that he regrets his folly.
Moving pictures were TAKEN which, doubtless, will
be exhibited throughout the country sort Of lasting
memento Of Glenster crowning himself the chief idiot
In the land. Though regarding this daring swimmer
as simple fool sort Of admiration remains for the
since he rfsked his life to attain end Phys
ical courage is Q splendid attribute but It cannot
be crowned with appreciation unless 1t aims to or
does benefit something or somebody. Merely to do
deed which nobody else has been fool enough to do
is misdirected energy and ability. To achieve sue
in worthy endeavor, to risk life protecting the
weak the innocent involves both moral and phys
zeal courage of strain Infinitely refined. Let
the Glensters and others who Jump from bridges, or
loop the loop bicycles, devote themselves to bet
ter cause and they will get the applause they seek in
stead of cheap notorety.

UNION SPRINGS BOOMING.
New Oil Mill and Ice Plant to Bt
 Built There.

It Is announced by the officials of the Alabama Cotton oil Company of this city that plans which were in contemplation last year for the erection of a large cot ton seed oil mill and ice factory in Union Springs have now matured and work will commence promptly.
 Not only will the new oil mill com pany draw large supply of cotton seed to Union Springs from the railroads cen tertng there. but they will work up many carloads of seed which have been shipped away from Union Springs every season by their own and other ginneries.
 The erection of an ice factory will no doubt also be hailed with delight by the citizens of Union Springs and 1t is the intention of the company to have the new plant ready for business this sum- mer.
 The oil mill will be fully equipped for operation by next season and we con- graduate our hustling sister city upon her good luck in securing these two val uahle additions to her material prosper ity.
 When the new mill Is completed the Alabama Cotton Oil Company will have six large cotton seed oil mills in active operation in the principal cities of this State. viz.: Mobile. Selma, Huntsville, DemopolIs. Union Springs and Montgom- cry. the head office of the company be- ing at Montgomery. Adv.
