The japanese Loan.

New York financiers cannot under
stand how it was that the Japanese
government issued bonds at 50, as these
bonds have already been quoted at 81
and seem likely t.. reach higher in the
near future. 1t would look like very
poor Judgment on the part of those
who oversee the affairs of the Mikado's
treasury. Either the little Japs are
less clever at finance than they are at
war, or else there is financial corrup-
ton OH a stupendous scale at Toxic.
In discussing this matter the New York
Globe and Commercial says:

Short Cuts to "Citizenship."

The latest great fraud to be un-
manufacture and sale of bogus naturu-
iz1tion papers. one official, in that city,
declares that within the past fcw years
over 10000 such papers have been dis
posed of, the larger part of them SoinS
to Italians. Many of them, it is
alleged, were sent to Italy where they
were readily sold to citizens of thu;
country, who thought they might wish
10 come to America in the near future,
or who felt that the protection afforded
them by the possession of American
naturalization papers would be Il valu-
able asset in their own country. So
pcrs forged that it is said many Italian
immigrants possessing them have read
liz passed the inspectors. who thought
they were naturalizcd citizens return
lug from visit to their native land.
While most of these papers are said
to be out and out forgerics, there has
seemed to be a number of certificates
from which the name has been removed
and another substituted. Moreover q
large batch of genuine signed blanks,
kept in the office of the United States
court has been stolen by an emIloye
and sold one by one, to foreigners who
wish Il short cut to American citizen
ship. There has been some vigorous
prosecution of those carrying on this
fraud, and there have already been
over 100 convictions, with as many
more offenders awaiting trial AL
though nothing definite has as yet been
discovered in other large cities outside
of New York, government officials de-
clare there is reason to believe that the
same business has been carried Oh in
Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, San
Francisco, and other large cities where
aliens are numerous. One reason why
Il newly arrived foreigner is so anxious
to hold naturalization papers is that
only citizens are eligible to municipal
employment in New York and other
large cities.
This is a most serious matter and the
government is justified in taking cX-
IRENE measures with those who sell
and those who buy such bogus natural
iZation papers. American citizenship
Is not something to be held lightly and
sold for a song to any newcomer who
applies for il. There are stringent
laws upon this matter and every gooi
citizen will uphold the authorities in
seeing that they are ri6idly enforced.

for foreigners to become American citi-
zcns through legal means and that

Franchise Grabbing.

The present gubcrnatoridl campaign
has developed in certain quarters Il
discussion about so-callcd franchise
grabbing" and the epithct has been
freely used with some apparent ms
apprehension as to the laws of tn"
State.
1t is a fact which may not be Sen-
orally known that the Legislature OF
1895 passed a general law applicable 20
all telephone and telegraph companies
doing business in this State. and Sec
ton OF Chapter 1913 of the Public
Laws If that session reads as follows:
ANY such corporation shall be au-
thori2cd to connect its line or lines
with those of any other like corpora
ton. and to sell or lease its lines and
property. in Who'll" or In part, To any
other like corporation, and to purchase
or lease the line. or lines. and property,
in whole or in part. Of any like cor
poration. upon such terms as may he
agreed upon by the contracting par
ties"
That was the policy of the State as
expressed by its Legislature nearly 10
years ago and ii has remained the
policy to the present time. for that sec
ton has never been amended or re-
pealed and stands, today, as Section II
of Chapter IS of the last Revision of
our Statutes.
Instead therefore. Of the State being
opposed to the transfer of the property
of such corporations or to the making
of such contracts between corporations
of that class upon such terms as they
may deem best, the general law of the
State expressly sanctions and author
ICES il.
Further than that, a similar pro-
vision has been incorporated into the
charter of substantially all if not all
of the telephone and telegraph COM
panies that have received special char

The reason for this is apparent. 1t
has been deemed good business policy
on the part of the State to allow such

authority and approved the policy in
the express words OF the very charter
under which the company does bust

For instance. the Legislature OF 1901,
