Five Glasses Are
Entitled to Citizenship.

TO begin with, citizenship be-
longs not to men alone, but to wom-
en- and children. 1t includes these
classes:
l. All people born in the United
States, except children born to the
families Of representatives of for
eign governments and to people at
enmity with the republic.
2. Children who are born in a
foreign country, if, at the time of
birth. their parents are citizens of
the United States
3. Women of foreign birth mar
ried to United States citizens.
4. Indians who have left their
tribes. giving up their tribe rela
tionships and paying taxes to the
government.
3. Naturalized foreigners.
Thousands of people come to the
United States annually from for
eign countries with the intention OF
making their homes here.
On arrival, such people are called
aliens This word means another,
inferring another country or ia
therland.
These people'have not the rights
and privileges of citizens, but they
may acquire many of them by resi-
dence and declaration Of allie
glance.
If an alien resident here desires
to continue citizen of the coun-
try in which he was born he may
do so. Or he may renounce his
allegiance to the mother country
and become citizen of the United
States.
This is accomplished by natural
tzatfnn

TN the strict meaning Of the word,
citizen is one who enjoys the
rights and privileges of the
city where he lives. But as we
use the word in reference to the
republic it means the rights and
privileges that belong to you as
the resident of the city, state and
nation
In this sense, the word is used
much as we use the word man. He
has rights and privileges as an In
dividual. When we call him a fam
lily man we add to his rights and
privileges a group of factors called
responsibilities and duties.
Every individual that walks the
streets may think he is a free
agent, but he has rights, privileges;
esponsibilities and duties toward
"a himself. (2) his family. go his
neighbors, "a his city or town, 60
the state, CD the republic at large.
And they do not stop even here.
The constitution did not make it
clear exactly what is meant by the
word citizen and the twelfth ar
ticle of amendment was introduced
and adopted to settle the matter.

How An Alien May
Become Naturalized.

In order to become naturalized
citizen the alien must go before a
Judge and state his intention of
renouncing his allegiance to his
mother country, and state his de-
sire to become citizen of the

court again and declares his re-

Lonu and Honorable Carer.

Sir Ralph Williams, who has re- signed as governor of Newfoundland, has had a long diplomatic career, during which he has been in many i'm portant situations. For time he was treasurer of Gibraltar and sat on the gate to the east. Then he was secretary at Barbadoes and saw a quarter of the population swept off the earth by hurricane. But it was in Africa that he had his largest experience, ruling over blacks and Boers He first saw the Dark Conti- nent in 1882, during hunting trip. In 1901 he was made governor of Bechuanaland, with c. M. G. as a decoration of merit. Sir Ralph was appointed governor of Newfoundland about three years ago. He is sixty four years of age, and in retiring does so to spend the remainder of his life in leisure.

Art and Enaineerinq.

The close connection of the artistic and the mechanical instinct is shown again in recent developments in France.
 France is doubtless the most emil .nent modern nation in the world of art. But in the past 30 years she has come to be one of the foremost in me- chanical engineering; as the develop sment of the automobile and the aero- plane bears witness. Coincidentally, there has been at least a relative fall ing off in her standing in art.
 This looks as if the demand of mod ern times had turned machine-wards the genius which in an earlier day would have expressed itself with brush and chisel.
 The artist and the engineer or in- ventor have the same faculty of sec ing thing before it is finished, the same keen sense of proportion and relation, the same intense desire to put ideas into concrete form. When America pauses from her rush in mechanical invention, she will de- velop an artistic power that will as- toriish the world.

THE POOREST OF ALL. PEOPLE
Natives of the Arctics Who Have Enough to Eat Are Considered
 Very Fortunate.

have not known so poor winter during the whole of my stay among the Eskimos (now 22 years), says 8 writer in the Christian Herald While the coast is ice-bound, the days short, snOwstorms frequent and the ther- emometer often 40 degrees below zero, it is not possible for the Eskimo to for the women to produce something was to cut holes through the sea ice, which reaches a thickness of six feet, and there they stood fishing for rock cod, most days securing only between five and ten fish The mission en- deavored to help, but poverty was so general that all resources were taxed to the utmost.
 An outsider has no idea of what poverty among the Eskimos means. At the best of times the wants of an Eskimo are few and his food con- sists of the coarsest of substances. Seal walrus and whale meat form a large part of their diet, and the blub- Der of these animals serves in the place of pork or butter.
 In China the famished inhabitants subsisted on roots or some inferior vegetation, but here the vegetable kingdom has nothing to offer. The earth is frozen and deeply covered with snow and ice;> the birds have gone south and one might walk for miles without seeing a living crea- ture. At the same time it is of in terest to know even these primitive people have for ages found a kind of substitute for food somewhere. Along the beach, which is known to have plenty of seaweed, holes are cut through the thick ice and the sea weed and mussels pulled up through the holes, and it is on record that the Eskimos have sustained life on this, one might say, refuse of the sea, dur ing the long winter months.
 j The Eskimo has no word for God" in his language, and it has been fitly marked that the very austere aspect of life may have helped to exclude the conception of superhuman benevolent Being from the beliefs and superstitions of these people of the | Arctic.

BAR THE FIT FROM COLLEGE
Traditional Requirements Are Un- fair to Many Persons Who Should
 Be Sought anc Welcomed.

I suspect we are likely to underesti- mate the number of naturally fit men, now barred out of college by the tra- ditional requirements, who could readily enough prepare themselves to enter with quite as promising an equipment as that possessed by the regular high school candidates. They are to be found in every walk of life. Some are on farms, many are teach ing rural schools, others are clerking in banks and commercial offices or working at the trades. These promis- ing men should not merely be well comed. They should be sought out. All colleges and especially those con- nected with state universities should bear torches in the search. It is a phase of conservation which trans cends in importance the conservation of the forests, the water powers and the coal Why should there not be "state surveys for this higher ob- ject, something after the plan pro- of geniuses in Virginia?
 Not all naturally brilliant youth will desire to enter the professions, and this is well, for they are needed in the other walks of life also and will ever be found in goodly numbers, as now, in business, in the trades, on the farms. Those preferring these occu- pations ought to prepare for them at the vocational schools or in other ef- fectual ways. The college course would be open to them for the pur- pose, but they would be expected to pursue it under the severe intellectual regimen prescribed for those looking forward to the rofessions.-Joseph Schafer in the American Review of Reviews.

NEW WAYS OF EVANGELlSTS
Departure From Old Time Meth eds Has Been Made in Busy
 New York Streets.

They certainly have speeded up the gospel wagon hereabouts. Every one has seen the oldfashioned noon day evangelist at work. He usually stands upon soap box, he is sometimes aided by a bunch of singers whose voices need immediate patching, and he is always earnest, but often re- grettably greasy Also, a good many of him have the habit of passing the hat by proxy before the wary audi ence can make it's getaway. The most elaborate old time outfit only ren to cottage organ ill wagon. The wagon always wheezed and the organist knew only the sad tunes with universe full of joyous melo- dies to pick from. They don't do it that way any more. Street evangel- ism is on the first speed, along with everything else. Every noon nowa- days an up-to-date entertainment com- lnittee can be seen from the windows of the Times-Star office at work on Madison square, says the New York correspondent of that paper The evangelist rides to his daily task in a taxicab and when it is his time to speak he stands on the front seat and steadies himself by holding to the drivers head. In the cab are from three to five good looking women good looking; get that?-who can and do sing. Sometimes they are accompanied by cornetist who is real artist They sing regular songs, too, with gospel flavor and at a quickstep. Sometimes they use meg aphones pointed upward at the win dows of the surrounding skyscrapers. Heads jam those windows the mo- ment the first note is heard. There isn't anything cheap or commonplace or sordid in the outfit. The women are we'll dressed and have good voices. The speaker is always witty and eloquent-and he is just as earnest, even if his coat does fit and his collar is dandruffless. When the noon hour is over they ride to their homes in the taxi. It is a departure from the accepted rules of street evangelism--but isn't it like New York?
