NaturaIixfng Aliens.

The naturalization laws are intend
ed to operate uniformly all over the
United States; consequently the deci-
sion of a court in Minnesota as to the
right of an alien to be admitted to
citizenship is precedent which may
properly be invoked as an authority
in support of an application for nat
uralization to a court in New York.
A petitioner for admission to citizen
ship is required by the act of Con-
gress to show that he is attached
to the principles of the Constitution
of the United States, and well disposed
to the good order and happiness of the
same"
Notwithstanding this requirement,
the Supreme Court of Minnesota has
just decided that an alien may prop
erly be naturalized who admits that
he does not know what the Constitu-
ton of the United States is-and this
after a residence in this country of
twenty-four years.
If this opinion is good law in Mime
sofa, 1t is good law in New York, for
1t deals with the application of a fed
eral statute which, properly construed,
operates uniformly in both jurisdic-
tions. We should be sorry, however,
to see a court in this State sanction
the naturalization of an alien who
was wholly without knowledge of
the Constitution of the United States,
or of the principles upon which it is
framed. To admit persons thus igno-
rant. is wholly to disregard one of the
most important requirements of the
naturalization law.-New York Sun

GIVE MIR. TAFT HIS DUES.

The Democratic papers are not slow
in making use of the abuse that GER
tain Republican papers have com
menced TO heap on President Taft.
These Republican papers. or so-called
Republican papers. are impatient with
Mr. Taft because he has not taken hold
of the tariff in the manner they would
have him do. They are saying that
the President is recreant to his prom
ises, made in the party platform and
in his own speeches. They want the
President to act according TO their
ideas. or failure to do so on his part
will bring him abuse.
President Taft is not Congress.
Under our constitution the President
has no right to command or TO threat
en- the legislative department of the
government, which Is department Co
ordinate with his own. We have come
to believe that the President ought to
be driver. man to WELD big sel,:E
and compel Congress to act according
to his wishes. But President Taft cah
find no such authority in the constitu-
ton. 1t is for him TO advise Con-
gress of the state of the union and 10
recommend matters to Congress, bur
further than that he has no power
over Congress. When a bill has been
duly passed he can veto 1t. If he sees
fit, but such veto should be based upon
constitutional grounds. he has no
right to use his veto power even mere
ly to carry into effect his own idGas.
Whether or not Congress is recreant.
that is another question. The mem-
bers of Congress represent the people
direct. The present House of Repre-
sentatives comes fresh from the polls.
They were elected last fall. The pre-
sumption is that they know what their
constituents want. They are voting
with the fact before them that within
another year they will come before
their constituents in the primaries ana
caucuses for denominations.
We may say that such or such a
congressman represents or misrepre-
sents his constituents, but that may
merely be from our viewpoint. We
should take into consideration that we
cannot do the thinking for all the con-
stituencies in this country.-Cedar

Desiccated Water.

in, let alone to drink. after even the

Some months ago the authorities OF
Carlsbad were much concerned over a
decrease in the flow of the famous
Sprudel and other mineral springs.
The State took up the matter, and IL
was found that the working of the
mines In the vicinity was probably af-
fecting the supply of the thermal
springs. AS the prosperity of Carls-
bad, almost, indeed. its very existence,
is dependent upon its world famous
waters. the government ordered GER
tain mines to be shut down. Since
then the flew of the springs has in
creased greatly, the Sprudel throwing
out nearly hi ndred gallons a minute
more than 1t cid before. The Muehl
and Schloss springs also show a nota-
BILE increase. their supply having near
ly doubled. The people of Carlsbad
are naturally jubilant at this evidence
of the inexhaustible capacity of their
health-giving springs and are prepar-
ing for a big season.

AN ANCIENT ORDEAL.


How much the vacuum-cleaner has

suspecting that the vividness of recol.

My cousin. Julian Cleghorn, thought
he had 1.-THE carpet-laying afflatus-
and as his adventures are fairly repre-

fell to Juggling until he was black in

Julian tackled In silent wrath. Then
he found he had tackled the hearth rim
under the radiator, and 1t all had to
come up. A little later he drove us all
out. Some hours after midnight, when
things had quieted little, he came
out and remarked that In stretching
the carpet he must have upset the
lamp. At any rate, the town fire bell
began to ring, and while the family
we're all at the upstairs windows try
ing to locate the glow, the hose cart
arrived on our front lawn.
Cousin Julian was then seen cram

The efforts of Governor Joseph M,
Brown, of Georgia, to revive the blue
jeans style of craftsmanship, are not
meeting with much acclaim in the
South There was a Democratic gov
ernor in Indiana about thirty years
ago, who won his election chiefly be-
cause he had the habit of wearing
blue jeans. His victory was hailed as
a triumph for homemade Democracy.
Democracy at that time was pretty
much matter of externals. Uncouth-
ness often passed for vigor and cru
dity for the Jeffersonian simplicity.
We have happily passed that period in
politics as well as in social relations.
There are few States left in which a
desire to wear blue jeans and to drink
at the water cooler out of a gourd
from the old farm well. instead of
from an inconspicuou5 glass tumbler,
is not regarded as foolish affectation.
