DECISION OF NAGEL WILL
 ADMIT MANY IMMIGRANTS

Washington, July 12.-All bars re- stricting the admission to the United States of minor foreign born children CT naturalized citizens, whether imbe- ciles, idiots or other forbidden classes, were swept away today by a far reach ing interpretation of the immigration and naturalization laws by Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor.
 The secretary authorized the entry into this country from Russia of little 11h year old Riwke Polayez who has been held at Ellis Island, New York, for several weeks threatened with de- portation on the certificate of surgeons of the public health and Marine hos pltal service that she Is an imbecile. Granting she is an imbecile the sec Ietary held that the immigration laws were not applicable to her because her father, Jacob Polayez, of New Haven, Conn.,, is naturalized citizen.
 Mir Nagel interpreted the law to mean that the naturaliza tion of ma conferred American citizenship upon his minor children as soon as they re- llnquished their residence abroad.
 This decision completely overturned the previous policy of the government. The law provides that minor children

Chicago. July 12.-Chieago dealers of vegetables of all kinds today tell story of cheer for housewives who have been on the verge of panic because of high food prices. Dealers declare that pro- visions of all kinds are selling 50 per cent lower than last year at this time

PRAISES LOCAL
 FIRE DEPARTMENT

Birmingham has the fastest fire de- partment in the south," said R. F. Blakie of Atlanta, Ga. last night. Mir. Blakie was present last evening when the department answered a call up Fourth avenue. and their speed made him marvel.
 T have timed the Atlanta and the Mobile departments when they have made short runs, and once or twice have ridden the wagon when there was long run. l timed your men when they went up the avenue just now and l find that they excel even Atlanta and Mobile in their. speed"
 MT. Blakie is much interest in fire departments and fremen and he held quite lengthy and interesting con- versatton with the boys at No. l sta tion last night. He says that he hates very much to see the passing of the fire horses and was very enthusia stic over "Alph,' the fiery, stalwart hero of many a fire. who pulls the ladder wagon.

of an alien who are living in the Unit ed States automatically become citizens of this country as soon as their father is naturalized but officials have in variably held In the past that all chill dren dwelling outside the United States at the time of their fathers natural ization must pass the immigration tests before they can enter and claim cit izenship.
 The secretary said the question re- volyed about the Interpretation of the word reside" in the immigration act which provides that the citizenship shall become operative when minor child "begins to reside permanently in the United States" Residence being largely intention, MT. Nagel declared that the constructive residence" of the child as soon as 1t abandoned it's for eign home was the dwelling place of the father. Consequently when the lit tie girl sailed from Russia she was con structively residing in the United States.
 The question never has been decided by the courts In connection with the present immigration laws and there was wide divergence of opinion among of hcials. Attorney General Wickersham and practically all of the authorities of the department of commerce and labor at first disagreed with the secretary. but he is said to have convinced them of the correctness of his position.

HIGHWAY ROUTE REMAINS THE SAME: Marion = UniOntOwn High way Will Follow Lower
 Course

Marion July 2-(Special) )-The final action of the county board of commis- sioners in refusing to change the Marion- Uniontown highway from what Is known as the lower route, going out from Marion through the plantation of George w. Thomas, has doubtless put an end to a contest that reached bitterness and vittI- peration on the part of some citizens.

The board was evenly divided on the question and It required the vote of Probate Judge j.. B. shives to settle the contest.

Colonel Thom Against Recall

Col A. r. Thom or Washington, gen eral counsel for the Southern railway came out unequivocably against the in itiatlve, referendum and recall during his address on "The Pending Revolution"
 He declared Q revolution in the Amer ican government is coming. and that the new government would be q govern ment of men and not a government of law" Such system, he asserted, would be reaction toward a species of democ- racy described by Aristotle. which was repudiated centuries before the Christian era.
 We need men in public life who would rather be right than elected" declared the speaker "and we need men who. in public life, will realize the conception of personal duty and responsibility.
 "The fact is that the proposal to in- troduce the principle of initiative and referendum and of the recall does not come from any idea that the people may not ultimately, by orderly constitutional methods, carry into effect their own ma- ture and settled purposes, declared Colo mel Thom. "It is an expression of inn patience with all restraint upon imme- date popular action, and with all oo- stacles in the way of the immediate specialization into law of impulsive and capricious popular judgments. 1t is a demand by the majority for freedom from all restraints and for immediate suprem- acy. The consequence of such impulsive action would be that the minority would be without protection from the Temporary passions and capricious Judgments of the majority. This can never be sound po- litical philosophy until every passing view that controls the majority of the people is right and just. It would put upon the people every political craze that may dominate the majority during the period of a political election, and would reduce to more or less permanent form every brainstorm' that may sweep the country.
