A NEEDED PRECEDENT.
Colonel RoOseveIt'S Assault on Graft
at Chicago.


at Chicago.
Chicago Tribune:
Nothing Theodore Roosevelt has done in
his public career has been more significant,
more timely nor more courageously right
than his peremptory refusal to sit down at
a public dinner with William Lorimer,
Any man who clings TO a public office
when his election Is Swallowed by fraud,
as Lorimer has chung to his high office OF
senator, deserves the staggering rebuke he
has received from Mr.. Roosevelt.
A hide 80 thick that II has withstood
four confessions like those 81 Holstlaw,
White, Beckemeyer and Link hardly will
finch from the brusque treatment Of the
Hamilton club. 1t may be doubted IL any
thing less imperative would have been
noticed. Mr.. Lorimer does not withdraw
readily
Mr.. Roosevelt has set an example which
might be followed 20 the general benefit
II there was less complacent acceptance
among men OF careers and personalities
! like Lorimer's there would be good dea
less unclean politics and unclean bust
/ ness. Honorable men should not be led by
an unthinkng good nature into giving So
/ ciaI recognition to men whose activities
/ they know to be hurtful and dangerous &c

ings as to give them the weight to

titled them in public estimation.
II was apparent long ago that real
issues we're being obscured by partisan
and fractional feeling, so that few peo-
pie. if. indeed. any, looked for any
thing approaching a unanimous re-
port, but everybody had a right 10 ex-
pect at least an orderly outcome. The
divergence of views as to the issues
involved has been great in the public
mind, as accurately reflected in the
committees mind. but that does not
Justify the present situation.

Is it a DISTINGUISHING Amendment

Entering the discussion started by
The Bee as to the impending constitu-
tional amendment, endorsed by the re-
publicans and rejected by the demo-
Gratis, the Lincoln Journal takes issue
with the assertion that IF adopted 1t
will disfranchise a large number Of
foreign born citizens who have been
exercising the suffrage for many years
as duly qualified voters under existing
laws" AS corroborative evidence it
quotes the tail-pfece of the amend
ment, which reads:
Persons of foreign birth who shall have
declared their intention. to become citizens
comfortably to the laws OF the United
States, and are at the taking effect Of this
amendment voting, may continue to exer-
else the right of suffrage until such time
as they may have resided in the state five
years, after which they shall take out full
citizenship papers to be entitled to vote at
any preceding election.
According to the Journal this estab'
fishes the plain intent of the amend
ment to be that no present foreign
born voter shall be DISTINGUISHED by it
until he is eligible to enfranchise him
self by becoming full-hedged citizen,
and the Journal insists that the
amendment applies in practice only to
the foreign born yet to come. But it
is only obtuseness that prevents it
from seeing that enforcement of the
restriction must disfranchise many
present voters. 1t goes without say
ing that under the proposed amend.
ment foreign born citizens, whether
already here or yet to come, who fail
to take out second papers at the end
of five years residence will thereafter
be disqualified to vote. 1t is also a
matter beyond dispute that a large
number of foreign born citizens who
have been exercising the suffrage for
many years as duly qualified voters
under existing laws have resided in
Nebraska five years, but have not
taken out their second papers land
some of them cannot take out second
papers), and that these would be dis
| franchised. The proviso of the
amendment also refers to those who
have resided in the state" without
taking into consideration residence in
other states, and also without taking
into consideration time that may have
elapsed after acquiring residence IL
the state before taking out first pa
pers. If foreign born citizen who
has been exercising the suffrage in Ne
braska under present laws shall have
resided here part of the five years be-
fore taking out his first papers and
then makes every reasonable effort to
get his second papers, there would
still be an interval after the expiration
of the FIVE years during which he
would be DISTINGUISHED.
1t would have been so easy to have
made this restrictive amendment ap-
ply only to foreign born citizens ac-
quiring residence in Nebraska after it's
adoption that it is amazing how such
a complicated and confusing piece of
verbiage could have passed muster
with any body of Lawmakers.

Strange as it may seem the great in
