Must Obey the Law.

One of the first things the newly
organized public domain commission
is going to do is to get after certain
railroads which run through wooded
districts and which are not living up
to the law requiring that effective
spark arresters be maintained on all
locomotives. Instances have been re-
ported where the mesh has been used
so long that holes as big as a pan
cake have been burned in them.
A good many destructive forest
fires are started by sparks from loco
motives. The worst offenders are the
small roads, whose principal traffic is
hauling logs out of the woods to mills,
or logging branches of a few of the
more important companies.
The domain commission, having au-
thority over the state game warden In
his capacity as state fire warden, has
directed him to notify the railroads
that they must have good meshes on
the stacks of all their locomotives
and keep the meshes closed all the
time when running, or else the law
will be put in force.

NATURALIZATION
IS NECESSARY
SOME SUPPOSED CITIZENS ARE
TO BE APPRAISED THAT
THEY ARE NOT.
GIVEN JOLT BY NEW LAW.
Many Cases In Washtenaw County
and Elsewhere Requiring Attention
Of Foreign Born Voters.

It Is estimated at the county clerks
Office In Ann Arbor that there ere be-
tween 500 and 1000 men in Washte-
nav county, who are either foreign
born or the sons of foreign born par
ents who have been voting for years
at local and general elections, but
who, under the new naturalization
laws, are not citizens. They are
chiefly of German stock, for most of
the foreign born, or second genera
ton, in this county, belong to that
stock.
A large majority of those who have
lost their citizenship on account Of
the new law are said to belong TO the
second generation. Their fathers took
out first papers, but did not bother
about second. Under the old loose
naturalization regulations they exer-
cised all the rights and privileges of
complete citizen, even to holding
township Offices, on their first papers
and no one bothered to question their
right to do so. Sons who were minors
when the family came from Germany
have taken it for granted that they
are now full citizens, although the
fathers never took out any but first
papers.
The new law is clear that unless a
father took out both sets of papers
before a son attained the age of 81
the son must now himself take out
first and second papers. An inspector
from Washington who was in Ann
Arbor recently said that conditions in
Washtenaw are not exceptional, but
that there are hundreds in a good
many counties who believe they are
citizens, but are not. and who may
be inconveniently apprised Of the fact
should they be elected TO an Office, or
be challenged at the polls. to prove
their citizenship. He says that all
who came to this country as minors
should lose no time in ascertaining
whether, before they reached their
majority, their fathers took out full
papers.

LOCATION OF LOTS
 IN IDYLW|LD RESORT
A Jolly Crowd of Patrons at the Or flee Of the Arizona Auction Com pany.

Over a hundred people gathered yes terday morning at the rooms of the Arizona Auction company, 23 South First avenue, to participate in the To- eating of the lots recently bought in Idylwild. each to discover the one that would be assigned to him. The di- visions were made in a very ingenious way so that each person had a fair opportunity for securing the lot de- sired. Two hundred and forty lots were disposed Of. or rather located, in accordance with previous sale.
 The presence of Glendale, Tempe and Mesa City people was very notable in the crowd as there were many buyers from each of these places, and when the Idylwild resort is built up these Maricopa county towns, it is expected, will be well represented in the noun tain population.
 Quite a number of lot owners were offered an advance on their holdings yesterday, but so far as was learned no offer was accepted. None of the buyers desire to dispose of their lots until they visit the ground and get personal view of their holdings.
 In the meantime there are goodly number of the lots left yet by the original owner and during the next ten days they will be disposed of at from s25 to $50 each, according to location. After that the price will be materially advanced.

A "GENTLEMAN's DRINK"

The St. Louis Post Dispatch is en- deavoring to collect a consensus of opinion on a matter of what may be regarded as of timely interest. It will be remembered by readers of The Republican that a few days ago United States Senator William J. Stone of Missouri was arrested in Baltimore, charged with an assault upon a negro porter The distin- guished statesman after having been given a ride in the Black Maria to the police station was arraigned and discharged. The dispatch did not en- tighten the reader as to the provoca- tion for the senatorial assault, but it was assumed that it was sufficient for the senator went hence with the commendation of the presiding magistrate.
 It transpires that the senator and the porter held conflicting views re garding what constitutes a gentle mans drink" which the senator had just ordered. Though the contention of the senator, whatever it may have been, seems to have been sustained by the Baltimore magistrate, the Post Dispatch declines to accept that adjudication as final. It has there fore appealed to the great body of the people The Republican yester- day received a telegram from that en- terprising journal inquiring what in the opinion of this paper as the rep resentative of the customs and prac- tices of this community is a gen tleman's drink" We suppose that similar telegrams were sent to the leaders of advanced thought all over the United States.
 The "gentleman's drink" is hard to define as to quantity, though ev- erybody knows that it is whisky but how much? There is a tradition that three fingers" from time out of mind is a "gentleman's drink" but then we are up against the circumstance that fingers vary in thickness. This circumstance further complcates the recognized fact that the capacity of gentlemen differ without regard to the thickness of their fingers. Alto gether the question is too complex for off hand solution and so far we have had no opportunity to se- cure the views of the experts of Phoenix, much less of the territory 1 at large But we fear that those | views will be so conflicting as to be useless for the purposes of the Post | Dispatch, which seems to be to es- | tablish a uniform "gentleman's drink | throughout this nation.
 Gentlemen cannot be brought to | drink by rule, by metes and bounds, | so to speak. One of the finest gen. tlemen we ever met, a prominent | Arizonian, had his own idea, and a | unique one, as to the dimensions of | a "gentlemap's drink" It was an ordinary mineral water glass filled | with whisky to two-thirds of its | capacity. To this day thirsty gen tlemen invite the frown of saloon pro prietors by saying, Give me -," designating the poison by the name of the gentleman who estab- lished that measure.
