NATURALIZATION REFORMS.

In report just presented TO Congress Secre-
tary Hay recommends a critical revision OF
our naturalization laws. Strangely enough, the
processes by which we turn aliens into citizens
have had for years the scantest consideration
in out of Congress Though no power, State
or federal. should. on general principles, be
more carefully and intellgently guarded than
that which sifts and proves the raw material
of citizenship surging through our gates, we
| have gone along scattering naturalization GER
tihcates broadcast without scrutiny or restraint
We have insisted on no stringent and uniform
| naturalization law. We have left the doors
wide open. not only to citizenship itself, but to
all sorts of misuses of the privileges we so Law
ishly and hastily grant.
As Secretary Hay points out, there are to-day
about five thousand distinct and separate courts
exercising the function Of naturalization. The
rules they follow vary widely, and the result
ing confusion in practice absolutely defeats the
intention of the Constitution that there should
be a fixed and uniform naturalization system.
The very certificates OF citizenship Issued differ
in wording and appearance. and. there being no
definite legal standard, the State Department in
issuing passports cannot apply rigorous rule
to defend itself against misrepresentation and
fraud. OF the 16,117 passports issued in Wash
ingtOn in the calendar year 1908. G,444-or 46
per cent-were applied for by naturaliZed citi-
matte and consular officers abroad. 2.10S-or
40 per cent-were given to former aliens Cases
have repeatedly come to the attention OF the
State Department In which these passports
contested by foreign goyernmentS-have proved
TO be fraudulent. And the department can do
nothing under such circumstances but confess
its error and swallow its chagrin.
1t is suggested by the Secretary of State that
Congress put an end to present abuses by re-
stricting the function of naturalization to GER
tain specified courts. by enacting more definite
rules of procedure, and by prescribing a form
| of certificate which cannot readily be counter
| feited. IT is also recommended that all courts
! authorized TO issue certificates make full re-
| turns of naturalizations TO the State Depart
ment Should these very sensible suggestions
| be accepted by Congress, should have
system Of naturalization still liberal, but not
| inviting and encouraging tine grossest forms of
! fraud.
In his recent message TO the New-York Leg
| slature Governor Higgins referred to the prac-
| tice long in vogue in this city of voting on
| forged borrowed or defective certificates of
naturalization This abuse is one which the
Bureau Of Elections has striven hard to eradl-
cate. Yet much remains to be done, and the
| Governor fully justified in recommending
| stricter registration requirements for natural
lied voters. The leniency Of our naturalization
laws and practices has been abused too long.
| We hope Congress will do what it can to sim
pity and amend our haphazard code of natu-

The fall OF Port Arthur raises an interesting
question for England, to what she shall do
about Wei-Hai-Wei. BY the terms Of the lease
signed at Peking on July i, 1898. three months
after the lease Of Port Arthur and Talienwan
by Russia. it was stipulated that Wei-Hai- Wei
should remain in British hands for so long as
Port Arthur shall remain in the occupa ton of
Russia Russas lease of Port Arthur for
twenty-five years from March 27, 1898 has been
terminated ny General Nogi's cannon. Will ia
pans ally now come forward and give up pos
session of Wei-Hai-Wei? Probably not, or at
least not until the convention following the
termination of the Russo-Japanese War. Wheth-
er she will do so then is a question of great
interest

If a tree could be made to take the place not
only of a pole tower In Hertz wave teiegra-
ply, but also of the vertical wire hitherto
deemed necessary, both time and money might
occasionally be saved in military signalling.
Major Squier, who is said to have discovered
that such substitution is practicable. is an
electrician of fairly good standing. STILL before
his announcement is accepted as altogether
correct. some uncertainties should be cleared
away There is supposed TO be a definite math-
ematical relation between the length of verti-
cal wire and the number of electrO-ma gnetic
waves emitted sideways from It per second. 1t
has also been considered desirable, If not essen
tial to have the corresponding feature OF the
receiving equipment equally long and no longer.
Can that requirement be dispensed with without
affecting the efficiency of the mechanism?

MRS. Vidal in support of Kyrle Bel

ut is difficult for one to judge what
will please people in the way of acting.
1t is more difficult for a woman to say
what will please another woman. Dur

footlights with man.
Somehow women expect more OF a

Dr.. TYndaITs Lecture

The new year opens up with an ever
increasing interest in things psychical
in every country of the world, and in
almost every department of investiga-
ton.
The keynote of the age is psychology
and that too of practical, mystery
dispelling kind.
Here in Los Angeles, DIR. Alexander
J. McIvor-Tyndall. the distinguished
and thoroughly capable leader of psy-
chic science, has had splendid audiences
each succeeding Sunday throughout the
year, since his opening lecture last jan
uary, and the number of those who
have taken up the philosophy taught by
this able teacher has increased very
considerably.
DIR, McIvor-T yndall is unquestionably
practical and comprehensive to great
proportion of the public, and his object
seems to be to bring into everyday life
the truths contained in all creeds and
PHILOSOPHERS, rather than to establish a
new and distinct religion, philosophy or
ism" He will continue the Sunday
afternoon lectures at Blanchard hall
during the winter months, although
there will be no meeting this afternoon.
Next Sunday afternoon there will be

Leah KIeschna"

Mrs Fiske and her Manhattan stock
company of New York have just scored
a tremendous success in Leah Klesch-
ma" new play by c. M. S. Me-
Lellan. The play was turned down.
by dozen managers before 1t reached
the hands of Mrs. Fiske. Now those
men are probably wondering why they
allowed a mere woman to run away
with one OF the pronounced successes
Of the season. The idea in the drama.
according to writer In the New York
World, is as follows:
The Leah of this drama had been
brought up outside the pale OF all
Christian Influences. Under the tutel-
age OF her father, brave and un-
scrupulous burglar, she had been forced
to take part in his ventures until she
ultimately came to look upon her Vo-
cation with the same pride a doctor,
lawyer or artist manifests In his. But
once had a note from the world Of good
deeds penetrated TO her heart. This
was when Sylvame, unknown by name
TO her. had saved her life In common
with those of a score of other ship
wrecked Voyagers. His courage, dar-
ing and goodness In that awful ordeal
struck an untouched chord In her be-

little things are characteristics of the
play. Besides its eccentric comedy
there is a deal of dramatic strength i'm
the play, as well as an undertone OF
pathos in the story of how the simple
country girl became aware of the ways
of the world. There will be a special
matinee on Monday.
