FoRFE1ruRE OF NATURALIZATION.

FORFEITURE OF NATURALIZATION.
There will be no little objection TO
enforcement in the United States of
the policy Endorsed by the Pan-Ameri-
can conference whereby naturalized
citizen is to be presumed to have for
feited citizenship IL he renews resi-
dence in his native country for two
years. There are doubtless special
reasons why some of the American re-
publics, parties to the conference. de-
sire such a rule, but such reasons have
not been apparent in our experience.
According to our practice and senti-
ment naturalization wipes out utterly
distinction as to rights and privileges
between native born and foreign born
citizens. 1t would hardly be proposed
seriously here that a native-born citi-
zen should forfeit citizenship on
a presumed abandonment by resi-
dence abroad for two years or any
other period. and 1t would be generally
regarded as an unjustifable discrim-
nation to infiict such a consequence
upon others who have in good faith
acquired our citizenship.
So far as the United States is con-
cerned, the government has been sub
jected to interminable annoyance and
at times to serious embarrassment by
persons of foreign birth who have
neither sought nor used citizenship in
good faith. but subsequent residence
In the land Of their nativity is not a
satisfactory test of, good faith, and in
our circumstances at least is one of
the least of the difficulties.

NO FJFTY-YEAR FRANCHISE.

When the Omaha Gas company I'M
dertook to railroad a fifty-year extern
sion of its franchise through the city
council some twelve years ago The
Bee voiced the overwhelming public
sentiment with a vigorous protest
against the f1fty-year term, as we'll as
several other odious features. and
after stubbornly contested bout in the
courts the gas company was compelled
to abandon its effort and content itself
with a twenty-five-year extension.
Without entering into the merits or
dement's OF the dual telephone scheme,
the same arguments which told so ef-
fectively against the hfty-year gas
franchise apply just as strongly
against any hfty-year franchise,
whether for telephone. electric light,
gas or street railway service. Fifty
years goes far beyond the next gen.
Grafton. No one can foresee what will
occur before that period shall have ex-
pired. apd the present mayor and
council have no right now to tie up
those who are to come after them for
fifty years.
One of the points made by the city
in the recent water works litigation to
set aside the maximum rate schedule
exacted by the water company from
private consumers was that the
twenty-five years which this schedule
was to continue constituted an unrea-
sonable length of time. and while the
court did not sustain the contention,
it would have done 80. in all prob
ability, had the period been fifty years
instead Of twenty-five years.
II twenty-five years we're as long as
our people were willing to extend the
gas franchise, reserving the right to
make a new extension under more ia
vorable terms at the end of that time,
1t should be the limit for every fran
chise ever granted by the city. II 1t
should be deemed desirable to give our
streets over to a second telephone
company the city surely should not be
required to wait more than twenty
five years to get a readjustment of the
terms to conform to conditions as
they then may exist. In twenty-five
years any franchised corporation
might be glad to stipulate for another
twenty-five years at five times the
royalties it is now willing to pay. If
Omaha grows as it should grow It
will be a city Of not less than $4,000
at the end of twenty-five years. and It
would be rash to venture guess as to
its probable wealth and population at
the end of fifty years. To ask for a
ffty-year mortgage on Omaha's future
growth seems to us to. be overstepping
all bounds.

In the reiterated assurance by Chair
man Sherman of the congressional
national committee, after another con-
ference with President Roosevelt, that
''the campaign text book will be a
stand-pat document" the term stand
pat" is, OF course. employed in a broad
sense, with special reference to the
record Of the administration and of
congress at its last session. In short.
the party will go before the people on
It's freshly made record. as the late
Senator Hanna six years ago proposed
to go on the record of the then expir-
ing congress, including particularly the
Dingley tariff act. when he declared.
I'VE shall stand pat"
In the nature of the case there Is nc
alternative, unless the party should re.
solve expressly or implicitly to repudi-
ate its own record and the president
and to appear before the people con-
Tossing unworthiness. The strongest
claim It has for the renewal of public
confidence is precisely the legislative
and administrative results which, UNI
der the leadership of Theodore Roose-
welt, have been accomplished. He was
elected two years ago by phenomenal
popular majority because his program
contemplated such results, and in for
warding them he has received up to
the present time not less notable evil
dences Of popular approval.
AS two years of the presidents term
yet remain, during which he was COM
missioned in 1904 to carry out the pro-
gram of subordinating the representa-
tives of centralized wealth. corporate
and individual, to the equal rules
of Justice and public welfare the para
mount issue necessarily must be
whether the people In the coming cleo
ton will on the record sustain him
and his party. @|'-'-

gical strength of President Roosevelt's
position. as emphasized by the stand

more apparent every day as the Contest

THE CAusEASp THE PARTY.
Roosevelt Policies VIII Prevail Long
tr After 1905.
Philadelphia Press,

Philadelphia Press,
Associate Justice Brewer OF the supreme
court Is added to those who have in the
last week repeated what the Press authori-
tatively recorded still earlier. that Presi-
dent Roosevelt will not be a candidate for
reelection two years hence.
The president has passed his word to his
fellow citizens. He will keep II. His pur-
pose will not change. Like his Industrious
predecessor. Washington, Theodore Roose-
welt knows that to republic no one man
is ever necessary. When only one man Is
available to become its chief executive a
country has ceased to be a republic, and
when a party has but one man with whom
II can carry the country that party has
ceased to be a great national force. This
is not true OF the republican party. 1t
has not been. 1t will not be.
Cause and party are more than men.
President Roosevelt has launched great
cause. He has begun the application Of
the twin American principles Of the SUI
premacy Of law and the equality Of rights
to the control OF great corporations. and
the work he has begun will be completed.
It is not dependent on any one man; but
the candidate selected must represent the
cause, inspire the party and be himself. in
his own person, record and associations, a
nledRe that he understands the task. 10
equal TO II and has full sympathy with
and understanding of the policy OF the
present administration.
Such a candidate will be found he will
be nominated and he will be elected. The
executor Of President Roosevelt's political
testament as he retires from the great work
he has done is not going to be selected
by the democratic party.

DrFFEREsT1ALs TO THE sEABoARD.
Problem of Adjusting Grain Rates 10
the aulf and the Atlantic.
Wall Street Journal.


Wall Street Journal
One of the most persistent questions In
railway practice Is that OF differentials 70
and from the seaboard. The primary mar
kets accumulate large quantities of grain
destined for export For this movement
outward the gulf ports and the Atlantic
coast ports compete. Every year, and
often several times year, there is an
upsetting of rates, resulting in fierce COM
petition for control OF this freight Rail-
way men have as often gotten together and
patched up some kind of an understand
ing. 1t does not however, last very long,
and the problem Is still with us and will
probably come before the Interstate COM
merce Commission for further adJudica-
ton.
Heretofore, the efforts to equalise joint
hauls to foreign markets by combining
shorter rail hauls with the longer ocean
hauls has been the basis on which adjust
ments have temporarily held. 1t is doubt
full, however, whether the ocean haul can,
under the jurisdiction Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. be properly taken
into account because the constitution pro-
hibits discrimination against ports in rate
making. II not, the question resolves itself
largely into one of operative distances or
rates on a mileage basis. In that case, the
gulf ports would have considerable advan-
tage. within certain territory, especially
that south and west of the Missouri river.
One fundamental difficulty in the rela-
ton OF gulf to Atlantic port competition
lies in the southwestern shifting of the
grain area. Wheat is grown now regu-
larry as far south as the center OF Texas,
and corn as a factor for export is becoming
OF increasing importance in the southwest.
The Missouri river is looked upon as some
thing of a dividing line between the gulf
lines and the Atlantic coast trunk line
territory: but here again such a market
as Chicago comes into account. The rail-
roads leading to Chicago do not wish to
all possible efforts to gain control Of the
movement of grain from portions of the
Missouri territory. The grain-dealing con-
Germs at Chicago have recently combined to
prevent that market from declining as a
grain center. This means still more
intense composition with gulf-feeding lines.
No one knows as yet what developments
will occur; but the question seems to be
almost as far from solution as II was
several years ago. One hopeful prospect
lies In the fact that several OF the lines
running west from Chicago have estab-
lished their connections with the gulf, and
are therefore more nearly in control OF the
situation than when they had only one
market to serve. There is still. however.
enough difference in control OF freight
lines TO make this one of the most difficult
questions of railway adjustment.

LABOR FOR THE CANAL.

The labor question is proving for us
as it did for the French one of the
most formidable involved in Panama
canal construction. The labor, skilled
and unskilled. has ALI to be imported
because 1t does not exist on the 18th.
mus. 1t is utterly impossible to secure
the amount required. or even a small
fraction in the United States, In spite
OF the high wages and other induce
ments offered II has been found ex.
tremely difficult to get competent men
to accept the more desirable places or
skilled labor for the indispensable
places.
But the great problem. of course, is
common labor. for which tens of thou
sands are required. White men,
whether of the United States OF any
other country, simply will not do the
work. and the only possible supply in
the neighborhood is the black popu-
lation in the mainland countries or the
islands of the Caribbean sea. They
are native to the climate. and thou
sands of them have been employed by
the government in the operations since
1t took over the work from the French
But they are unreliable and their EN-
cheney from one irremovable cause
or another is extremely low. II
the government IL forced TO depend
on them, years will be added to the
period of construction and unnumbered
millions to its cost.
This Is the extremity which has
driven the, government to seek for a
better labor supply among the Chi
nese. 1t is known that. while endur-
ing the climate better even than the
blacks, they are incomparably more
efficient as common laborers. II is i'm
possible, at least for a long time. to
render healthful or even tolerable to
whites the conditions under which the
common laborers will be employed, al.
though in the towns and In a large
part OF the canal zone sanitation has
