JmmiErntfou and NATURALIZATION
In dealing with the questions Of In
migration and naturalization It is In
dIspensabIe to keep certain facts ever
before the minds Of those who share
IN enacting the laws. First and fore
most, let us remember that the ques-
ton of being good American has
nothing whatever to do with mans
birthplace any more than # has to do
with his creed In every generation
from the time this government was
founded men Of foreign birth have
stood in the very foremost rank o.

HsViEiOn of Naturalization Lava
There should be a comprehensive re-
vision Of the naturalization laws. The
courts having power to naturalize
should be definitely named by national
authority the Testimony upon which
naturalization may be conferred should
be definitely prescribed, publication Of
impending naturalization applications
should be required IN ADVANCE OIL tht,r

Not only are the laws relating 10
naturalization now defective. but those
renting 10 citizenship OF the united
States ought also to be made the sub
ject Of scientific inquiry with a view 10
probable further Legislation. The pow
er Of the government to protect the N
tegrity Of the elections OF Its own OIL
cals IS Inherent and has been recog'
uized and affirmed by repeated dec.
laradons OF the supreme court. There
