.ludnest Wiqs,

The wig is only worn by English
barristers to give them a ster' judi
cial appearance, and no one can say
that it fails in this respect. The GUS
tom was originated by a French
Judge in the seventeenth century
when, happening to don marquis
wig one day, he found it gave him
such a stern and dignifled appearance
that he decided to get one for himself
and wear it at all times In court
This he did, and the result was SO
satisfactory from legal point OF
view, that not only judges, but bar
risters, also, took up the custom
throughout Europe.

ANNUAL LOSS IS ENORMOUS
TWO Hundred Million Dollars a Year
Might Be Added to Wealth
of Country.

Computing that there are In the
United States at least 100000 INDECENT
c0nsumptives who should be cared for
in charitable or semicharitable sana-
toria and hospitals, the National AS
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton Of tuberculosis estimates that
the annual cost to the country for the
treatment Of these persons would be
$50,00O,000 at the rate Of $1.669 per
day per patient, At the lowest pos
sible estimate the country loses $780,
100000 year from the inCapaCity Of
these INDECENT victims Of tuberculO-
sis. This would mean a net saving Of
$50 100000 year to the United
States If all victims Of consumption
who are too poor to afford proper
treatment in expensive sanatoria were
cared for at the expense Of the munic-
ipality, county or state. And this an
nual gain does not include the enor-
nous saving that would accrue from
the lessened infection due to the seq
regati0n of the dangerous consump-
tiyes in institutions.

A RULING BY WALTHALL
Assistant Attorney General Passed on
Case Involving Proposed Charter
for Residents of E! Paso.

become citizens of Texas, nor can
they become incorporators of private
corporations under the laws of this
State. A ruling, of which the fore.
going is the substance, was Monday

eral Walthall. the question having re-
Gently arisen over a proposed charter
subscribed only by three Chinese resi-.
dents of the city of Ell Paso.
In his ruling NJ. Walthall says: THE
courts Of this State held that a citi-
zen is a person, native or naturalized,
who has the privilege of voting for
public officers and who is qualified to
fill the Offices in the gift Of the peo-
pie; or one who under the constitu-
ton and laws Of the United States has
a right to vote for representative in
congress and other public officers and
who is qualified to fill Offices within
the gift Of the people. (See Abrigo
VS.. State, 20 Texas, Court of APP
peals)
1T follows from the above decisions
that Chinaman can not become a
citizen of this State, and therefore
the charter referred to above, not be-
ing subscribed by two citizens of this
State, should not be filed by you In
the office of the secretary of state.
Il have answered your inquiry upon
the assumption that the subscribers
to said charter were not born in the
United States, but in China. If this
assumption is not correct, a different
question might arise.
I'VE are in receipt of inquiry of
July 80, involving the question as to
whether Chinese residents Of this
State may be incorporators Of private
corporations under our laws. The
proposed charter submitted to US In
connection with said inquiry Is sub
scribed only by three Chinese resi-
dents of the city of Ell Paso.
Article GA Of the Revised Stat
utes of this State provides that the
charter Of an intended corporation
must be subscribed by three or more
persons, two of whom at least must
be citizens of this State, and it has
been held that members of the Chi.
nese race are not eligible to natural
ization under naturalization laws Of
the United States. The question OF
the right Of the court to naturalize
Cinnamon came before the circuit
court of the United States in the case
of Re All Yuh, lis Federal cases, 104.
and the court denied the application
on the ground that Monaghan is not

of the term as used in the naturaliza-
ton laws of the United States. This
case has been generally followed by
