LAW PASSED BY LAST CONGRESS

ed to become a citizen of any other
land, and that, i'll fact, he has always
behaved as a patriotic American should
The law which has made Mr.. Croker
an alien was framed at the behest of
the state department to prevent for
eiSners coming to this country and be-
ing naturalized for the sole purpose of
returning to their own land and max
ing trouble by defying the local authori-
ties on the ground of their American
citizenship. 1t was passed in March

Refused an English Office.
As a matter of fact, Mr.. Croker, a
few months ago, when there was a re-
port that he might enter parliament.
declared emphatically that he would
not renounce his allegiance to this
country.
The old Tammany leader was born in
Ireland and came to New York when
small boy. He became naturalized
as soon as he reached the voting age.
He has lived abroad for the last six

to be regarded as aliens after they have
been in the country of their former
dOmicile two years, or in another for
eign country five years.
How TO Regain Honors.
But while Mr.. Croker can no longer
be numbered among the distinguished
American citizens residing abroad in

puts itself in the position of the Mis-
sourian and metaphorically says to Mr.
Croker, "Show me-" And it is up to
the former Tammany man TO submit
proofs that he has always been citi-
zen of the United States, though he
may have resided in some other coun-
