New-York tribune., 1907-01-28
AGAINST PRISON SIGHTSEEING.

Massachusetts, whose legislators do not by
any means restrict their labOrs to the enactment
OF ''blue" laws is now rejoicing in new statute
which forbids the admission Of parties of sight
seers or other merely curious visitors 10 penal
institutions Even companies of college stu
dents are debarred from making prisons the
Scenes of social studies" Some unfavOrable
criticism of the law has been heard, but on the
whole it appears to be cordially approved by
public sentiment.
There is reason to wish that such a law were
in force. and had long been in force, in other
states. There has been, in New York and else
where, entirely too much indisCrminate visiting
Of prisons by companies of idle or morbid sight
seers. Sentimental and neurOtic women have
flocked TO the cells where notorious and most
loathsome criminals have been confined. Some
times gigglng schoolgirls in their teens have
been permitted to ''see how it felt to be locked
in the death cell and to sit in the electric chair.
Gaping holiday makers have gaZed at the con-
fined convicts as they would at beasts In a me-
nagerie, and have speculated. as to which of
them was such or such a notorious criminal.
1t is all very vulgar and disgusting, and
should be abolished. No conceivable good pur-
pose can be served by il, while its pOtentialites
for mischief are great 1t is not just to add to
a prisoners punishment by making him part Of a
raree show. 1t is not fitting TO public instl
tuition for the gratifcatiOn Of unhealthful curiOs-
ity and morbid tastes. IL is not profitable for
susceptible and impressible minds to be brought
into contact with reminders of vice and crime.
The state may properly provide places of in
structive and inspiring resort for the public.
Places which are depressing in association and
degrading in suggestion should be closed against
all save those who have serious business within
their walls

pay license fees in three or five or more states,
and must provide his car with signs bearing
a number for each state Even then there is
no telling ON what tour he may unexpectedly
want or need TO cross another boundary and
enter another state in which ne has not
license.
All this vexatiOn would, of course, be avoided
IF a man could get a federal license which
would be good in any state of the Union, and 1t
may be that some arguments for the constitu-
tiOnaity OF such a system can be adduced.
Nevertheless, there is much TO be said on the
other side. From practical point of view II
is obvious that such a federal system would
infringe upon would supplant the police
powers of the individual states so far as their
public highways We're concerned, and IL would
necessitate uniformity of speed rules and other
highway regulations in all the states, or, rather,
federal rules for all state highways, to which
there would be practical well as theoretical
objections 1t is highly commendable that the
American Automobile Associa ton takes so much
interest in the regulation of motor vehicles and
the restraint OF abuses OF Them and there GER
tainly should be corresponding desire TO free
automobile drivers from needless and annoy
ing requirements. But it is not at all clear that
this we'll meant proposal could be put into
effect
New-York tribune., 1907-01-28
THE RIGHTS OF THE HArURALIzED.

The 59th Congress performed an important
and long neglected task when il remOdelled
last spring our system of naturalization. EX-
traOr;linary abuses had been tolerated under
lax supervision shared between the federal gov
ernment and the states and thousands of GER
tificates of citizenship had been heedlessly or
fraudulently issued. The law of 1856 throws
valuable safeguards about tile process Of
acquiring American citizenship 1t needs 10 be
supplemented. however. by a law more explic-
lily defining the status and rights of natural
lied citizens and protecting the government
against fictitious or unreasonable claims on its
protection. Such a law. prepared by Repre-
sentative James Breck Perkins Of Rochester
and following in the main the suggestions Of
q commission appointed by the State Depart
ment 10 study the situation. has recently passed
the House Of Representatives. 1t is TO he hoped
that the shOrtness OF the present session will
not prevent its approval by the Senate.
The House act strikes at a practice which
has been constant source Of irritation i'm our
foreign relations We have had a class Of natu-
rallied citizens-naturalized under the old laws
which has brought us into much diseredit
abroad. These Americans 10y adoption have re-

have taken the same means OF shelterIng them
selves from punishment when coming into col
lisiOn with the government. In nearly every
country in Europe the State Department has
found itself at one time or another compelled

zens even though In many cases their very

erty. Collections more prompt at South
eastern cities where renewals and extensions
had caused complaint while the average gain

at leading cities outside New York. as compared
with the corresponding period in 1906 testifles
to the volume OF settlements Smaller clearings
at this city are due to the big decrease in spec
ulative activity.
Cotton has become established on the basis of
IL cents for middling uplands at New York. and
while this is below the price of a year ago 1t is
extremely satisfactory to producers. who have
probably secured yield of over thirteen million
bales. The Census Bureau reports the quantity
ginned up TO January 10 as 12,16I,SI3 bales
which is only 100000 bales less than the returns
two years ago, when much the largest crop on
record was secured. Two years ago the price
was $50 bale less than now, and there Is
prospect of almost large yield The re-
sulting increase in value is due to the vigorous
demand. Mr.. Ellison having increased his esti-
mate of requirements to 12S71OoO bales Of
American cotton, and some domestic authorities
making It 125OOOO0 More tangible support

as large as In the corresponding period of 1906.
Revival Of interest in the grain markets pro-
duced decidedly higher prices. severe weather
abroad. smaller Western receipts and better
export demand encouraging the speculative ele-
ment to operate more freely. while there was
evidence of Wall Street interest in the commod-
ity markets, which was not surprising in view
of the stock market apathy.
Manufacturing conditions are unchanged. mills
and factories being operated at full capacity in
the leading industries. and the volume of for
ward business is of sufficient size to maintain
prices firmly for products. while providing
demand for raw materials. fuel and labor that
distributes the prosperity over a wide field In
many textile and footwear plants the entire out
put of spring goods has been sold. and interest
is being transferred 20 orders for fall and winter
lines. There is element of uncertainty IN the
cotton goods situation as to the extent OF spec
ulative purchases some mills fearing cancella-
tions later in the season. but light stocks in all
positions minimize this danger

nor will these passports entitle them to our
protection in the countries in which they were
born. These provisions ought to put an end
90 the practices by which our former too easy
going hospitality has been abused.
The Perkins act also has the merit OF fixing
more clearly the status OF American women
who marry foreigners. They must surrender
citizenship. but can regain it on the termina-
tlon OF the marriage Citizens can also re
nounce their nationality except In time Of
war-an admission which Congress has never
made formally. although the courts and the
State Department have accepted the practice
as sanctioned by international law. AS was
the case with our naturalization system. we
have let things take their course In these mat
tiers IN a too free and easy way. It IS time
TO put a strlcter and clearer value on American
citizenship
New-York tribune., 1907-01-28
FEDERAL AUTOMOBILE REGULATION

The interesting proposal is made by the
American Automobile Association that the
licensing Of motor cars shall be made q func-
ton OF the federal government. We may prob
ably assume that the wish is father to the
thought for certainly, from the automobIlist's
point OF view. such an arrangement is a con-
summation deyOutly 10 be wished. It seems to
he pretty generally conceded that licensing OF
such vehicles by some authority is necessary,
and. IL So II is obvious that ii should be done
by the authority prevailing in the places where
the machines are used. 1t may be all right
for one state TO charter a corporation to do
business in another state, though there are
those who question it, But assuredIy it would
be absurd for New York 70 license automo-
biles to use the highways OF California.
Yet a very large and increasing number OF
automobiles are habltually used in more than
a single state. and many OF them are frequently
run through several states, while it is by no
means unknown for one TO be run across the
territory of a dozen states. man living In
