CITIZENS MUST SPEAK ENGLISH

One cannot refrain from indorsing
the opinion Of Judge Lewis OF the
United States District Court for Colo
RADIO, with reference to the natural
ization Of new citizens.
The Judge holds that among other
requisites for citizenship, the appli-
cant should be able to read, write and
|speak the English language before he
can stand on a par with the balance
OF manklnd in these United States.
These words are deeply significant.
The decision will establish q prece-
dent, and hereafter no hair-brained.
rattle worded foreigner may be admit
ter to citizenship, and the sacred
right to vote on an equality with 9TH
e r men, unless he shall. be able to
talk the language of the country, be
able to read the constitution M
write intelligently on ordinary sub
jects.
The fallacy Of n%aturalizing a man
less prepared is apparent.
Such a policy as that advocated by
Judge Lewis will do more to check
the growth of anarchisttc policies
than any other. @
Ignorant, misguided foreigners, ad-
mitted to the ballot in this country
in the past, have mistaken liberty for
license. In some cases these men
are criminal at heart. To admit them
to citizenship is to nullify the vote
Of a free born citizen.
1t is unfair, not alone to the native
born American, but to the intelligent
naturalized citizen. Above all, It Is
manifestly unjust to the man who 1o
cannot read, write or speak the Eng
fish language. Citizenship confers up
on him something he does not under
stand, and not comprehending, can
not appreciate. Unless q man ap-
preciate a privilege he has no right
Ito it, particularly when that privilege
entities him, to cast a vote that has
to do with the making OF laws for the
government Of mankind. His idea OF
law is directly opposed to ours-for
he knows only the government from
which he has fed, and his ideas OF
reformation are revolutionary. Men
who read and write and speak and
think in the English language are not
revolutionists, and hence, we say,
Judge Lewis has taken ground that
can result in no harm or injustice to
the applicant, If he be honest, and
that will result in great good to the
country.

PARCELS POST TO ITALY.

It is possible by the terms OF a
new postal convention to send parcels
from this country to Italy for u cents
a pound. By the terms OF the agree
ment it is possible to send a package,
up to eleven pounds in weight, from
Honolulu to points in Italy at the rate
of IL cents per pound. All of which
is very nice-and proper. ~
Now comes the ridiculous side OF
the proposition: 5
II the same package were sent to
some point within the county OF the
state, the cost would be 16 cents per
pound.
All OF which makes US wonder at
the mental machinery Of the average
government official.

HARRIMAN'S IDEA OF FREIGHT
a.l RATES. g.

AS a adTT1luau
has no equal, perhaps. But coupled
with his g%eneralship of the New York
stock market, and his control Of GER
tain money bags, the magnate has
ideas of his own.
From all over the country, the cry
has gone up from railroad men for q
general raise in freight rates, an ad-
vance, if you please, Of 10 per cent.
This elevation they would make hor-
izontal in character, that all might
bear an equal share of the burden.
And at first blush, barring the fact
that we do not like to e an ad-
vance, 1t would e that the horizon
tai raise is the correct method, since
1t would advance all alike. III
Then Hartman steps into the arena
and with a few short, concise sen
fences, shows that the horizontal rate
lis not only not necessary, but abso-
lutely unjust. Reasoning from his
point Of view, it would seem that his
ideas are at least as logical as those
OF the other railway men, and would
cause the least complaint. N@
Rather than a general advance, he
would have a REIMBURSEMENT Of rates,
on the theory that some rates are
now rid~iculously low. If such be the
case, then the man who is obtaining
these low rates can interpose no ser
ious objection to an advance that
will place him on the same plane with
other shippers.
The 10 per cent increase would
still leave the low rate as sadly out
of proportion after a general advance,
as it is at the present time.
Mr.. Hartman would compel the
men who are not paying enough, to
advance as much as the man who
is now paying all the freight service
is worth-alI he can stand, and all
the railroad companies have a right
to expect. II
AS he says, there is a right way and
there is a laundering way-meaning.
Of course, that if the railroads make
rates that will be unjust to the gen.
eral average Of shippers that the
transportation lines will be in for cy.
clonic weather, the like OF which has
not been known since the day when
the first locomotive turned a wheel
This, it seems to us. is the correct
way Of viewing the matter. && IT,
At least, in the REIMBURSEMENT Of
freight rates, if he is permitted tc
have anything to say about 1t, he vii
pursue the same orderly system he
has adopted In securing IN ocean tc
ocean line of rails, and his opinion
will cut considerable weight with
railway men for the reason that il
has become the fashion in Transports
ton circles to try to think as Har
riman thinks-for his thoughts usual
lily are productive of dollars by the
barrel.
