where the Fraud started.

The student of American politics is
not apt TO forget the explanation of
those. remarkable majorities which
have distinguished Philadelphia in the
past. and have ever been a source Of
wonderment. II was due TO wholesale
bogus voting Now that the fraudu-
lent voting schemes SO long employed
there have been laid bare, the secret is
out. and il has caused amusement at
the expense of the men who have
blindly followed the republican ma
chine for 50 many years. as wei as
scandal aud sorrow that American citi-
zenship has been SO misused. Il is as
serted by no less authority than the

Proposed Remedies I'm Naturalization
Lava.

The abuses due to the loose admin
istration of the naturalization laws are
well known TO be fragrant and of long
standing and President Roosevelt has
taken the initiative TO restrict the
worst of these evils by the appoint
ment Of a commission composed of a
member Of each state department. the
attorney generals Office and the immi-
grafton bureau. which is 10 report TO

sary amendments TO the existing laws
The most fragrant scandals in con
inection with this subject have arisen
from TWO sources, the turning of Ger
tain courts into naturalization mills
which ground out certificates almost
indiscriminately to applicants regard
less Of fitness. and the issuance in
large numbers Of forged papers which
were sold abroad To intending immi-
grants to be presented at the ports of
entry on their arrival here. Both of
these methods have contributed TO the
detriment Of the public welfare
] ne HESI OF the ABUSES HOltO mas
been due primarily TO the fact that all
courts. federal. state and even some of
the minor municipal courts have been
permitted 10 issue naturalization certi-
fiCates In the administration OF this
function there have been no uniform
rules. each court being in a large de-
gree a law unto itself. even the certifi-
Gates varying in form. thus making the.
manufacture of fraudulent documents
difficult Of detection II is understood
that the commission will recommend
that the issuance of naturalization pa
pers be confined TO the more import
ant federal and state courts. and that
there be but one official form of certi-
ficate. printed on paper that cannot be
duplicated except in violation of the
law. It. is suggested also that slight
educational requirement may be re
uuired. that the government shall be
represented at all hearings of appli-
cants for naturalization and that no
naturalization papers shall be issued
80 days prior TO national elections.
These proposed restrictions would
seem to he entirely proper. While no
unreasonable or yeXatious obstacle
should be placed in the way Of those
who desire in good faith 10 become
American citizens, those really worthy
should be willing to establish their le-
gal claim TO this favor.

ton for some time. and which receives
the approval of the president, pro.
+ vidng it does contain a pit.
fall adroitly concealed in it's verbal
construction, has been introduced in

al way are as follows:
Upon complaint the interstate CON-
merce commission shall declare and
order what shall be a just and rea-
| sonable rate, which order shall take
enect III sixty days, the carrier hav-
ing an appeal to a court of commerce
10 nave the order of the commission
reviewed. Pending the review, the
court may suspend the order requir.
ing a bond from the carrier, for the
payment OF all damages incurred bv
shippers.
The commission is also authorized
TO Tx a Joint rate in case two or more
carriers tall to agree on rates, orders
Affecting these rates being subject 70

/ Inc president is authorized to an.
point an assistant attorney general
ior the enforcement of the act The
interstate commerce commission is
authorized during a judicial review of
us order to modify or suspend the or.
der under review. Carriers refusing
TO obey an order of the commission
are subject to a penalty of $4,000 a
day.
An appeal from the court of com.
merce can only be taken to the ST.
preme court of the United States.
The present interstate commerce
commission is abolished and new
commission created composed of sew.
en- commissioners at $1,000 a wear.
l he terms of the commissioners shall
be ten years.
"A court OF commerce. composed of
flVe circuit judges of the United
ates, is created which shall hold
four regular sessions each year in
Washington. The court shall have
exclusive jurisdiction over cases
brought by the interstate commerce
commission.
The chief justice of the supreme
court of the United States is author
lied to designate on the first of each

slltute the court of commerce. The
president is authorized to appoint an
additional circuit judge for each of

States who are authorized to perform
the duties of the judges of the circuit
court.
The bill consists of twenty-one Sec
tons, much attention being given to
the details and methods of procedure
under which the commission and the
court of commerce shan proceed.
The bill is not looked upon with
favor by many senators and represen-
tatives nor Ey the press of the coun-
try, and at best it will only be taken
rs basis for working out something
more acceptable TO the shippers and
the people. At present there is lit
tie hope of any railroad legislation at
this session, owing to lack of time.

Helena, Jan. 28.-The announcement
has been made that President Roose.
welt has sent to the senate the nom.
nation of Capt. James z. Dare, U. s.
A.. retired as agent foI the Indians
OF the Blackfeet agency. Montana, to
succeed Major James S. Monteath,
who has held the position for six
years past.
Major Monteath has been contem.
plating retiring for some time to en-.
gage in private business, being anx.
ious to return to his chosen profes.
sion, the newspaper field, (which he
left to take the position.
Mr.. MOnteath has had many things
to contend with during his admins.
tration of the agency and has been
subjected to more or less criticism
because he would not allow any in.
fringement of the rules governing his
charges. Many notable improve.
ments have been brought about on til
reservation during Agent Monteath s
administration. MONTE as he is
called by his many friends, was for
years connected with the Butte Inter.
Mountain in responsible positions and
it is expected that he will again en-.
gage in newspaper work.
The presidents decision to appoint
| Major Dare in place of Major Mon
teath is in accordance with the policy
OF the Indian department to name
army officers for Indian agencies
whenever possible. Major Dare will
take charge within the next two or
three weeks.

TALKS ON IRRIGATION.
Consulting Engineer Of the Fedora
Service at AeIena

Helena. Jan. 27.-For three hours
tonight the senate and house commit.
tee on irrigation listened to n. n
Savage, consulting engineer of the
federal reclamation service, in a re.
view of the work that has been &C.
complished by the general gov
eminent toward the reclamation of
the arid lands of the west, and on the
question of legislation needed in Mon.
tana in order that more perfect CO.
operation on the part of the federal
and state governments might be Sc.
cured. The meeting was held at the
Brandon hotel, and in addition to the
members of the committees. was at
tended by Senator Carter, state Off
Gals and citizens.
After Mr.. Savage had explained the
work and suggested legislation along
the lines desired. there was a great
deal of discussion of the questions
arising and many interrogations were
nut to the engineer. principally by
Senator Carter, who showed a thor
Ough knowledge of the irrigation
scheme. He thought it would be bet
ter to have the final work on a pro-
posed project spoken by a competent
engineer rather than by a layman,
the secretary of the interior.
