in short. become Americanized. This has
happened, We say. so much as a matter
of course that until recently scarcely any
one has given a thought 80 legislation TO
effect the naturalization OF aliens. The
abuse of the privilege of naturalization,
however. and the rapid injection into the
electorate. through the interested efforts
OF politicians. OF a mass OF ill-prepared
voters, uniformed as 10 our mode Of
government and unacquainted with our
language. have very properly led to more
stringent requirements as to citizenship.
particularly that the prospective citizen
shall be able to read and write the
English language. To realize what an i'm
portant requirement this Is one has only
to recall the serious situation in Hun
gary and Finland, for instance, where
actual revolutions have accompanied ef-
forts Of their sovereign powers TO force
an alien language upon their peoples. No
question will be raised by anybody as to
the wisdom Of requiring of every citizen
a knowledge of the language Of his
adopted country. The homogeneity of the
nation, which a very rapid influx of i'm
migrants has somewhat threatened, will
be greatly furthered by the operation of
the new law.

Mr.. Bryan and the South.

There is accommodating evidence Of the
reputation by the Southern people Of Mr.
William Jennings Bryan-in the editorial
columns of Northern newspapers. 1t is
ali well established now beyond perad-
venture. No one can doubt tiff he reads
the Northern newspapers. They are all
discussing the opposition to MI Bryan
in the South" Meantime the Peerless
One has visited the territory of his enc
mics, receiving everywhere tremendous
ovaJions. His tour was little short of tr!-
Umphal in its character. He was intry-
duced as the next President of the United
States" and hailed by Southern Demo
Gratis as their leader. Newspapers which
opposed him in 1896 and 1900 paid him
their tributes Of praise, and if they did
not themselves nominate him for the
Presidency in 1905 at least acquiesced in
his nomination.
The South is unquesdonably opposed to
government ownership of railroads, and
it is easily reasoned, therefore, that no
man who at any time declares that under
any circumstances he might be in favor
Of the national government taking con-
tIOl OF LlC LfduSpOIIdIlUn companies OF
any other companies can expect to have
the favor Of the Southern people. Hence
the "repudiation" of Mr.. Bryan, according
to the Northern press.
Many Of the papers which have praised
Bryan, many OF the people who have
yelled for him, and many of his lifelong
friends everywhere have expressed dis
agreement with him on this question Of
government ownership. But the South is
looking first for d man who represents
them in their general principles, and who
has the ability and the courage to fight
and win. If Bryan is the man, Southern
Democrats will follow him, regardless Of
what he thinks about this one matter Of
government ownership, and regardless Of
what they think.
Although Mr.. Bryan aroused opposition
in the South by his views on this subject
there IS. nevertheless, every trustworthy
indication that he is as sure of the solid
South in the National Democratic con
vention Of 1905 as he-or any other Demo-
crat who should be nominated-would be
Of the solid South in the electoral col
lege.

The New Naturalization Law.

The new Federal law governing the ad-
mission Of aliens to United States citizen
ship, which has just gone into effect, has
great significance as marking a step for
ward in what is termed in continental
countries the naturalization Of alien
populations. In those countries the gov
ernmental policy is directed toward Sc
curing as quickly as may be the homo
geneity OF the populations under the
sway Of a single sovereign. As repeated
conquests have added to their original
territory domains containing various ele-
ments Of population, the policy of CONT
mental statesmen has been directed to-
ward bringing these diversified elements
under the sway of uniform laws, Ian
guage, and customs. The carrying out Of
such policies has not, as a rule. been
relished by the subjected peoples, many Of
whom have opposed the policy Of nation
alisatlon by force.
In this country We have been Iuckier.
for we have taken the same diverse ele-
ments, and have hitherto rapidly assimi-
lated them into our body polite in the
natural course Of things, and with scarce
ly any friction It has been taken as a
matter of course that the foreigner COM
Ing to this country would learn the Ian
guage, If he did not already know il: that
he would conform 10 the laws and Gus
toms Of the country: that he would be-
come a citizen as soon as possible and
take an active part in political affairs

Georgia Does thc square Thing.

Down in Georgia Hon. Richard B. Rus
sell has just been nominated IN the Dem
ocrate primaries, by an overwhelming
vote over all of his competitors, for
judge Of the recently created Court Of
Appeals. He Is not known as Judge
Russell at all. but goes. by unanimous
consent, under the affectionate title OF
plain Dick Russell" The name, or
rather the nickname. was Of his own
choosing, and was Immediately seized
upon by his friends with Unction and dis
patch.
Several years ago plain Dick was a
candidate for chief justice Of the Su-
preme Court Of the State. Although he
ran brilliant race and set the State all
agog with his eloquence ana his logic, the
voters stubbornly failed 20 rally to his
standard, and he went down to defeat.
but not dishonor. This initial catastro-
phe did not discourage plain Dick in
the least He called it the first battle
and bided his time.

had won. by his pluck and gameness, the
admiration, If not the votes, of his fellow
crackers. They admire a man with sand
If they viii not always vote for him.
AS time went on, another election came
along, which had for its object the nam
ing Of three judges for the Court Of Ap-
peals. and Plain Dick was impOTtuned
to run. Having twice played the role OF
chOpping block, the Hon. plain Dick
was weary and would not consent to run.
His enthusiastic friends would not hear
10 this, so they paid his primary assess
ments, without his knowledge or consent,
and entered his name, whether or no.
Then awoke the mighty heart OF Georgia.
From lowland and highland, from far and
near. they came in punches and bat
talions to vote for plain Dick" There
never has been such an OutpOuring Of the
true and unterrlhed Democracy of the
Empire State OF the South within the
memory Of living man. The vote was
pretty evenly distributed between the
other candidates, but everybody was for

ness Of plain Dick" to lay his services
at the feet Of the State. as we'll as the
services Of his thirteen children. had won
the fight at last. and old Georgia came
nobly to the front and bestowed her gifts
where they were entirely deserved.
And for all Of this Georgia IS to be
commended and congratulated. The doc
trine Of the square deal is winning new
friends every day, and the whole coun-
try will rejoice that Georgia has given a
square deal, in every sense Of the words,
TO PLAIN Dick" Russell.

A Very Quiet Campaign.

The Congressional election is less than
a month distant. The welkin does not
ring. however, with the music of brass
bands or the reverberating tones OF the
political orator. The country seems to be
pursuing the even tenor of its way
Except in New York, where a contest Of
more than usual interest is being waged,
there is hardly a ripple on the surface
II Is evident that the American peo-
pie are too busy 10 devote much time TO
political matters. There are no burning
issues The nation is not in danger
The present Republican Congress, while
it may have left undone some things
which 1t ought to have done, neverthe-
less accomplished a remarkable quantity
of work in the last session, and gener-
ally speaking, it was good legislation
There is no such thing as widespread
or universal discomfort The country IS
prosperous, the era of commercial devel-
ppn1eIrt,. has not been checked.
Il would be well for the country If all
our campaigns could be marked by the
same absence OF political hysteria. The
fiamboyant spellbinder, who allows his
enthusiasm 10 run away with his judg-
ment, and the caloric candidate who viO-
lently attacks all who do not agree with
him on every topic, are really not essen
tial 10 our political peace and happiness
We can get along without them. Astute
politicians are beginning To learn, in fact
that brass bands do not win votes, nor
do empty, high-sounding, and extravagant
utterances influence the thoughtful mind
People are very practical nowadays. They
do not study government from a senumen-
tai or theoretical point of view. They
want to know what is best for their
material interests. and then they follow
the dictates of their deliberate judgment
It is Il quiet campaign, therefore, be
cause the ship OF state IS sailing along
on an even keel with fair winds, and
the barometer steady. There is "a cloud

nation, but is is hardly large enough yet
