alization papers by wholesale just
prior to elections, with little or no
regard to whether or not they being
properly bestowed. Another evil
is that there is a great traffic
abroad in forged certificates, which
have a value of $40 each in Eur
ope, as they will enable their hold
ers to enter this country without
further formality. Many who ac-
quire citizenship in this country
nail their papers to friends on the
other side who come over and gain
admission with them. Last year in
New York 200 frauds of this sort
were detected, and some of the Of
tenders prosecuted, punished and
deported. There certainly can be
no objection to the requirement
that the applicant for citizenship
be able to make himself understood
in English after five years residence
in this country. An ability to read
and write at least their native
tongue may also be required. Be
sides, some system of Identification,
by photograph or description, may
be attached to the certificates.
The work is along a worthy road.
American citizenship means some
thing. 1t ought not to be granted
to unworthy subjects, and those
who receive the privilege should be
capable of approaching it's worth
and behaving accordingly.

SOME changes in the naturaliza-
ton laws of. this country will be
proposed at next winters session
of Congress. The process of max
ing American citizens at present is
too simple and cheap. Too much
fraud is prevalent and there is
little about the process of securing
naturalization papers likely to i'm
press the new citizen with their
value. A committee of three gov
eminent employees is engaged in
preparing suggested changes and
a report will be ready in time for
opening of congress. There is no
uniformity in the character of the
naturalization certificates now
used, and too many courts have
the authority to confer citizenship.
In the large cities some of the cor
rupt city courts have issued natur-

GOVERNOR Johnson has issued an
appeal to the citizens of the state
for assistance for the flood sufferers
at the headwaters of the Mississip-
pi, especially in Aitkin county
where much property has been de-
stroyed and many people made
homeless by the high water. Both
of the Duluth dailies are receiving
donations of cash and it is esti-

to tide over until another crop can
be raised and to assist the home

To those who are figuring on a
new congressional district by reason
of the increased population, it will
be well to say, that the congress
sional apportionment is based upon
the result of the federal and not
the state census. AS an exchange
aptly puts it, Minnesota must wor-
ry along with nine representatives
in the lower house for five years at
least.

Many sections in this state are as

New York, and no good reason can be
given why more OF our farmers should

account OF less than two acres that
gave over 500 net profit the present

the trees, gathering and marketing the
fruit, rental value Of land, etc, amount
TO $40 or more. The owner SPRAYS

Bees Useful to Farmers.

has been tersely put by Prof w. p.
Hedrick Of the agricultural college of
Michigan. He says: The fruit grower
who complains of bees is an migrate.
full wretch. At best fair exchange is
no robbery, but the bees take nothing,
A crop of honey removes no fertility
from the soil, no substance nor flavor
from the fruit, nor even the fragrance
from the flower. Multitudes of bees
may store their hives with "choicely
culled sweets" from your orchard. and
you may take II and feast yourself on
the appleDlossom favored honey. or
you may sell it for dollars and cents.
yet neither your trees nor your farm
is the loser by one penny's worth. If
the bees take little toll from the
fruit what of it? Should they ot.be
repaid for officiating at the nuptials
of your fruit blossoms. But do they
take toll?
