~ ROM my usual Success Talk am
turning today to a question In
which every patriotic citizen of
the republic should be interested The
wholesale method Of granting citizen
ship has developed into an abuse
which is purely American.
The plain purpose of our naturaliza-
ton law is to exclude from the cleo
torate persons who fail to inform
themselves as to the nature Of the
government under which they are liv-
ing. No abuse can be more pernicious
than our wholesale granting of the
suffrage to men who know nothing
and care less about our American In
situations.
Recently one Judge in New York
naturalized 500 in one week. while an
other naturaliZed 500 and there were
still 1900 more waiting to get their
last papers so they could vote the
coming fall. A similar condition pre-
walls throughout our whole land. Be
fore the coming fall elections our
courts will be busy manufacturing
hordes Of the most debased and de-
graded aliens into voters to nullify
the votes of Americans at the ballot
box. 1 have visited the naturaliza-
ton bureaus of New York and have
seen men driven IN groves TO the
courts by INSCRIPTIONS ward heelers;
they were put through the courts by
the wholesale at lightning speed by
the aid Of subservient judges and then
driven to the polls to vote as they
were told.
Glory I'm Creating "Citizens.c
There are judges in every great city
throughout the United States who
glory in their achievements in show
ing foreigners through the naturaliza-
ton mills of their courts at a rate OF
speed which makes it certain that
these judges have no regard for the
sanctity of the oath which they have
taken.
Think of it. Rushing 500 foreigners.
almost imbeciles in their ignorance
through the naturalization court In
about 20 hours. The number of ap-
plications for citizenship every year
is so enormous, it would be impossible
for the court to test the character Of
each very thoroughly: but 1t seems to
have become the custom not to attempt
any such examination, the court re-
curing only proof of five years resi-
dence and two persons who will tes-
tify to good character. In some cases
the clerk conducts the examination
while the court is busy with other
matters.

Experts Work q Water Power Policy

have criticised it and approved it.
The basis of the plan is develop
ment without delay Of water power
sites. The plan holds that private
capital must be aided by the state or
nation through corporate franchises,
condemnation of private property, and
licenses to use public lands and OBJ
struct public waters, etc. Under the
plan, the power companies would have
certainty of tenure for Il reasonable
time, and a chance for generous
Profits on their actual investment. For
G public, the plan attempts to pEo-
he for good service, fair prices, full
ablicity as TO cost, honest capitaliza-
ton and fair rentals for public prop
erty used by the companies.
The plan comedies that the federal
government has no jurisdiction in
dealing with the problem of power
sites unless its land is to be occupied,
or navigable rivers affected 1t is pro-
posed that the regulation of service
and prices is to be a function of the
state, leaving to the national govern
ment the duty Of obtaining prompt,
full and orderly development, rea-
sonable time limit for the leases, pub

Trouble in Dealing With Drug Evil

number of victims, most of whom pur-
sue the destructive habit in its more
highly specialized forms, particularly
the taking of morphine in pills or by
hypodermic injection.
AS fast as a stop is put to one
method of procuring or using the
drug, another springs up in response
to an unfailing and always profitable
demand. For instance, the average
apothecary nowadays finds a large
and unprecedented demand for Co
deine"-one Of the alkaloids, or active
principles, of opium. 1t is only about
one-third as powerful as morphine, but
acts similarly The sale of morphine
is forbidden by law nearly every
where at the present time, except on
prescription by a physician, but in
most of the states there IS no such
restriction in regard to codeine-
whence the growing popularity of the
latter.
The sale of "heroin" also has great
ly increased since the enforcement of
restrictions on opium and morphine.
This is what chemists would term a
morphine derivative''-that is to say.
a substance derived from morphine by
certain monkeyings in the laboratory.
