Sixth commandment: The Revised
 Version Is evidently a preferable read ing. Thou shalt do no murder" Never
 in the history of the race has this com
 mandment held such universal sway.
 The number of capital crimes of which
 the law takes cognizance is reduced to
 a minimum. There was time when stealing a sheep was punishable with death and there was a barbarous GUS
 tom of exposing felons' bones to public view; time when processes of law
 were so crude that mapy innocent per sons suffered death penalties; and the only atonement which could be made
 was to plant white flag on the grave of the unfortunate. The causes of war
 recognized by the international code have also been reduced to minimum Risk to life of employe has also been | greatly diminished. However. we are not quite ready yet to efface the sixth | commandment from the table. since
 murder and suicide are yet fearflly | common events. Murder is yet com
 mitted also by ignoring the demand for | sanitation of tenements, And Jacob | Ris has said it is just as bad to kill d
 man with a house as to kill him with | an ax.

Nothing has happened for a long time to more stir up the opponents of the administration both south and west than the decision of Judge Swaine Of Florida this week that Japanese settlers could be naturaIiz- cd iu this country. Their right to this privilege has been the chief stumbling block to the settlement of the present Japanese oontroversy. and
 while there is no specific law against It. there is no specific provision for 1t and the matter is left to the de- cision of any court Of originai turis- diction that wants to take a chance on it. More than that there is no provision for an appeal from the rul- ing of the court unless it might be through the roundabout method of challenging the laps vote at the first elscfion and subsequently, earry- ing thf case to the supreme court The 3aturaIizstion law Is eurioasIy inds1lks on the subject It provides
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-06-27

for the naturalization of any alien who is free, white, or of African birth or African descent. It leaves 1t to be inferred whether the Japan ese are included in the rather loose term of "White." The action of Judge Swaine who is merely an ap- pointee to the bench in Florida and a native of Delaware, has aroused bit- ter comment. It will be remembered that he was impeached by the house but let of by the senate. It is de- clared in many quarters that hia escape was through political in- fluence and that his decision in the Japanese case at the present critical time is a payment for this aid. Of course the decision of his court is not binding on court of equal jurisdic- tion in any other part of the country but it helps to complicate matters and doubtless will be used by the pro- Japanese element to point out that the Japanese question is already le- gally settled andt hat there is no req son a Jap should not be naturalized in any part of the country. One thing is very certain, and that is that no court on the Pacific coast is likely to follow Judge Swaine's lead, and Japanese who want to be naturalized had better go to Florida.

WOULD HANG FOR BROTHER.
Disappointed When Told Law Would
 Not Allow Sacrifice.

Montgomery, Ala. June 27.-"I want to hang in the place of my brotherv' was the startling statement Sheriff Belzer heard yesterday from the Rev John Beeman. negro Bap- tist minister, whose brother. David Beeman, is sentenced to be hanged on July 26. for the murder of his wife.
 T don't think David is ready to go," continued the preacher, and l believe that I am. David would real ize the sacrifice I am making for him, and it might make him lead better life, and we may meet in heaven. David has always been weak, and I think I should suffer in hrs place"
 When told that the law would not allow such a sacrifice, the minister was much disappointed. He is an in- telligent negro, and made the offer in good faith.

CRUSADE AGAINST HAT RAISING
Rich Bohemian Tells Why He Objects
 to the Custom.

Count Johann Harrach, the head of the Bohemian aristocracy and a very wealthy glass manufacturer, is or ganlzing a society for the abolition of the present conventional hat lift ing form of salutation. writes Vien- na correspondent of the Pal Mall Gazette. The count and his support CTS in the new movement declare that this practice of barring the head In winter frost and snow Is extremely dangerous and induces neuralgia. in- fiuenza and other disagreeable ail- ments.
 Frugal persons afflicted with 4 large lowing acquaintance also com plain that this form of politeness causes hats to wear out in less than half the ordinary time of fair wear aud tear And 90 to avoid all these evils 1t is proposed 10 substitute the military salute of merely raising the hand to the head.
 Count Harrach's proposal Is not en- tirely original. the authorities in q small Bohemian town having also dealt with the question in a somewhat summary manner. 1t is true. by pro- hibitiug the lifting of the hst under penalty of a fine. but their mandate met with little success.

TELEPHONES ON CARS.
Useful in Train Dispatching-Con'
 nections Quickly Made.

There are three methods followed in the application of the telephone to electric railway despatching: Q) Fixed telephone sub-stations in booths placed at suitable points along the line. @ Jack boxes at poles to which portable telephones carried in the cars may be hung and connected for temporary use. (3 Portable telephone sets hung upon the front of the car. the vestibule platform of which serves as a booth, and attachment made by flexible wires to jacks at numerous poles along the line.
 On some railway lines, says Techni- cal Literature, the method of connect ing a telephone on the car with the line is not by means of a Jack at one side of one of the poles. but by 8 long slender rod carrying the wires, which may be hooded upon the main lines at any place.
 The telephones used on electric railroad systems must give transmits sion which Is clear and loud. and must be of types not liable to be placed out of service by the jar of con- tinuous transportation on car.
 Application of the telephone to train despatchIng on electric railways has resulted in marked economy of both plant and operation. in that the sbil- ity of the superintendentr 10 be inform ed as to the position of the various cars and to communicate with their operators gives greater service efi- ciency to the road.
 The telephone Is of great service in severe snowstorms by reason of the facility which it affords for informa- ton to be given the train despatcher as to the condition of fhe road In cases of mIshap the telephone affords means for the quick clearance of the track by the facilities of obtaining wrecking cars or repair hands. In cases of accident not only can medical help he summoned for the injured but means can be taken to p-ncure in- formation relative to details of Im- portance In ascertsining the liability of the company

Naturalization

To become a naturalized citizen of the United States is now much more difficult than ever before, and people born in a foreign country who desire to be naturalized should study up the law if they do not want to have to wait almost lifetime before being admitted to the franchise. Applica- ton has to be made to the clerk in the district court at least two years prior to being naturalized and this ap- plication must be accompanied by a lot of information, including the date of your arrival in this country, the port at which you landed. and the name of the ship you sailed in. Not less than two years nor more than seven years after filing the first ap- plication another has to be filed simi- lar to the first This has to be cer- tified to by two citizens of the United States who have known the applicant to have resided hero continuously for five years. In no case shall final &C., ton be taken upon petition until at least ninety days have elapsed after filing and posting the nouce of such petition. And 1t is further provided that DO person shall be naturalized nor shall any certificate of naturali- zation be issued within thirty days preceding the holding of any general election.
 For further particulars parties de. slring information should call at the office of
 HENRY o"coSNoR, Registrar of Voters.

Representative Mondell, of Wy, oming. has gotten his in the shape of a call from the interior depart ment for the return of Is acres of government land to which he is not entitled says a Washington writer. In the general shake up and straight ening out of the land office records, it was found that Representative Mondell had filed on 160 acres of government land, filed on 1t as agri- cultural land when in reality it had a vein of coal on 1t. Further he had never lived on the land to per- feet his entry as is required by law, but had simply had 1t handed to him by the land office probably more because he was congressman than for any other reason. MT Mondell has been very active in western land legislation and has been a strong opponent of the president in a num- Der of his western land programs. Possibly this pernicious activity had something to do with his being singled out by the department to be made an example of. Anyhow he returned the land and no questions were asked. It is a wholesome ex- ample. but what the country needs is more than an example. Of course 1t was wrong for a congressman or anyone else to missappropriate gov ernment land. but there are hundreds of thousands of acres of valuable min- eral and timber land that have been stolen by the thousand acres under the lax administration of the land office, and it will be cheering thing when the public gets examples" of more than 160 acre cases.

The British government Is making trial of an automatic stamp-selling machine which has proved successful. The machine is so perfect in its mech anism that it eliminates all bad coins. whether they be bent, counterfeit, foreign. or specially manufactured. Another advantage of the invention is that no lever or handle has to be manipulated, the machinery being worked entirely by the weight of the coin.

Hardship in transportation has al- ways been the case in virgin terri tory. h America. the wagon team preceded the Pacific express. and more recently in British Africa the pioneers in Rhodesia and Uganda were followed by long bands of na- tives carrying on their shoulders and on their backs the stores and impedi- ments of the expedition. says a writ CT in the Engineering magazine. The Congo authorities have had to adopt the same means under the same con- ditions in the vast regioh subject to their sway. It is necessarily a some- what harsh method, accompanied with considerable amount of sever- ity, and no doubt attended occasion ally by a certain amount of sickness and mortality. But these conse- quences are the common accompani- ment of the early stages Of coloniza- tion in an unexplored and unreclaim- ed region. no matter what may be the continent or what the flag under
 which the advance guard of the col ontzing or condueiing Dowe. moves towards its goal. They are a pass ing phase, however. as 1t is clearly to the interest of the ruling state, quite apart from humanitarian motives. to provide as soon as possible a more expeditions. economical and. let me add, popular means of conveyance than the employment of human car- riers. No government could have shown more clearly than the Congo state that 1t realized that portage was a system to be superseded by something better in the upper Congo region as quickly and as effectively as had been done in the lower Congo.
