Naturalization and State Rights.

The proposed reform legislation in
favor Of more stringent naturalization
laws aims to remedy abuses which, it
is held, have reached dangerous pro-
portions. The right of full citizenship
is granted presumably to the immi-
grant who has qualified himself in GER
tain formalities land is of good moral
character" But the chief feature chal-
lenged by agitators of reform in nat
uralization laws is the facility with
which voters are made as the laws now
stand.
This evil may be a crying one, but
the remedy seems to lie in part outside
of the national authority, since the
states individually decide upon the
qualifications of voters. Many Of the
states allow aliens to vote when they
have declared their intention to be-
come citizens, which is before they
have proved a good moral character
sworn off their allegiance or resided
the requisite five years in the United
States. One Of the arguments used
by aliens when asking that the laws
be strained in their favor is that they
are as good as some others who have
been admitted, and so on, plea which
carries weight If the applicants are
worthy. And if a bunch of good men
are admitted irregularly that fact is
cited in favor of immigrants less desir-
able. With easy laws in operation In
one state it is difficult to restrain
abuses across the line, especially IL
the applicants make as good showing
in support of their claims as their
neighbors,

A recent appeal by college presi-
lent for the gift of dress suits to stu
dents unable to buy them for them
selves called forth wide comment, both
editorially and in communications
from the outside. AS feature mark
ing the social tendencies of the times
the dress suit offers subject to think
over and one to be treated gingerly or
radically according to the stress Of
fashions edicts in particular circles.
Some college boys of today plead that
they will miss something worth getting
at college unless they disport in claw
hammers, and some old timers declare
that they had none in their day and
had no use for them anyway.
If it takes three generations from
shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves" the dress
suit ought to figure in the second of
the three. At present blue jeans and
broadcloth contend for place on the
same peg. The stronghold of the dress
suit fad when, as often appears, it is
q mere fad instead Of a dignifed and
sensible regulation is that social Dor
derland known as Bohemia. Men in
Bohemia affect dress suits as the badge
of a clique and inaugurate functions
purposely to wear them and shut out
their less fortunate fellows. 1t mat

Concerning Free Seeds.

Former Representative Thomas Ball
of Texas, who left congress to practice
law and make money, arrived in Wash
ington recently on a visit. The first
man he saw was Colonel Bill Sterrett
of Texas, goat expert and purveyor OF
canned molasses, in addition to being
an active correspondent.
Bill" said Ball, "dern your hide, do

speaking for the representatives now in
congress from Texas. They daren't
speak for themselves because they are
in congress yet. l am out of politics,

ago, saying that the representatives
from Texas had plenty of seeds to dis
tribute and that every farmer in the
state should write to his representative
and get what seeds, plants and trees
he needed. You know well enough that
the government supply of seeds is linn
tied, and your piece cost those mem
bers of congress $3.50 apiece. They had
to 60 out into the market and buy seeds
after their quotas were exhausted

An Incident.

This story is told by ]. p. Carter OF
the American embassy in London. 1t
was a fashionable function and the
orchestra had been playing somewhat
oudly. A well known Englishman was
discussing the friendly relations OF
England and America with very at
tractive American woman. The music
stopped suddenly, and in the silence
which followed the Englishman was
heard to remark In heartfelt accents,
"And the more we know one another
the more dearly we must love one an
other" Both fastened to offer expla-
nations as to the entirely political char
acter of their remarks, but nothing
could stop the laughter Of the delighted
audience.-New York Herald.

RUSSIAN STRIKE WINS.
Count Witte Grants Demands Of Rail-
road Employees.

St. Petersburg.-Count Witte Is get
ting his hands on the helm, and the
Russian ship of state is beginning tc
right itself. Gradually the disorder
that followed the PRONUNCIATION of the
constitution giving the people liberty
is being put down.
Count Witte solved the railroad
strike at conference with the strike
leaders, at which he did not hesitate
to make practical surrender of the
governments demands. The bases o
settlement are comprised in the fol
lowing communication sent to the
strike committees throughout the EN-
pire:
First-The remuneration of all rail-
road employees is increased. and the
budget of 1906 will be revised to pro
vide therefor.
Second-The creation of commits
sion on which the employees are to
have elected Representatives to con
slider questions of Improvement in
their condition.
Third-Permission is given railroad
employees and workmen to have a Co
operative organization based on
models of western Europe and the
United States.
Fourth-The abolition of military
regulations applying to railroads.
Fifth-Freedom of meeting for EN-.
ployes of railroads to discuss questions
of strike without notice being given
to the police.
Sixth--lnviolability of the person OF
strikers and the unemployment of men
dismissed for striking.
Seventh-The canceling of all cir.
culars limiting the employment OF
Poles on the Polish Southwestern and
Western railroads and giving permis.
sion to use the Polish language in pri-
vate.
Under this settlement all of the rail
roads are resuming work

Fremont County Apple Crop.

Denver.-The Republican cores
pondent at Canon City says: Owing to
the fair weather of the last few days
the bulk of one of the finest and mos
profitable crops of apples in this sec
tion has been gathered and marketed.
During the last two weeks every avail
able man and boy in this city has been
picking apples. Never has the Canon
City apple had better flavor or more
attractive color than this year, and
never have prices been so good or the
demand from outside markets so great.
In fact orders have been so heavy that
local dealers in many instances have
oversold and will be unable to fill their
contracts.
Already nearly 400 carloads have
been shipped from here, approximate
ing 100000 boxes. AS there will prob.
ably be 100 carloads more to ship the
total product of the Canon City
orchards outside of apples retained for
local consumption will be near $50 900
boxes, representing a revenue OF the
growers of about 100000.

Fraud in ArchuIeta County.

Denver.-The report of F. A. Moss.
one of the bookkeepers in the state
treasurer's Office, has been made pub
lie, giving the facts arrived at by his
recent investigation in Archuleta
county.
The investigation covered a period
of from January /, 1898, to June 10,
1905, during which time A. d. Archu
leta was county treasurer, and shows
deficit due the state of $1,1625O. Mr..
Moss says in his report: THE careless
ness in keeping the records during his
administration can be called nothing
short of criminal"
No entries whatever were made on
the cash book by Archuleta during the
five years of his incumbency, and Mr..
Moss confirms the statement of the
Continental Trust Company of Den
YER, which conducted the original in
vestigation, that "carelessness, ig-
norance, incapacity, fraud and falsiti-
cation by all parties who had anything
to do with the book. We're met at
every turn of the road after January
1900. Favoritism was shown in the
collection of taxes, and no allowance
was made to the state in many in
stances where the county got its
share"
The deficit due the state was as fol-
lows for the different years: 1898 and
prior, s36257: 1899, s315.23: 1900.

DANGERS OF FOOTBALL.
It Can Only Be Properly Played BY
Gentlemen.

Football has always been gentle
mans game. because no one but gem
tleman can be trusted to play the game
honorably and fairly and with due re-
gard for the rights of his opponents.
The spirit of the "slugger," in football,
is the spirit of the thug and the as
sassin. and it Is just as criminal to-
kick an opposing player in the back.
or jump on his body, or foul him in
someother way, for the purpose of
winning the game or retaliating for
some unintentional injury, as 1t would
be to sandbag him in an alley to get
his watch and pure or to avenge an,
injury.
The number of accidental injuries in.
football is not large enough to warrant
giving up game that possesses most
valuable training features, which are
not possessed by any other game. But
the number of injuries that arise from
malice, or passion, or brutal indiffer-
ence to the rights of other players and,
the courtesies of the game, is sufficient
to warrant the demand that the game
shall be played better, or not at all.
No game can be Just as good as
football" unless it makes the demands
upon self-control, courage, strength
and endurance that football makes.
Football is a game that should be
played by gentlemen, or 1t should not
be played at all. No boy has learned
the principle of football playing until
he has learned self control.
Present day football is dangerous
because 1t is dirty football. The only
kind Of football worth playing is clean,
football, and clean football is not
angerous.-Pueblo Chieftain.
