MUST ELIMINATE THE ALIENS
New Registration Lists Must be Made
by Voters Appearing Personally al
Polls and Law Strictly Provides
Against the Copying of the Lists.

Every voter in the city Of Kenosha
who expects to vote at the coming
primary and city elections must be
registered. For the first time in years
the city council faces state law
which demands that the voters must
be registered and the law strictly pro-
vides that the only way that a man s
name may get on the voting lists is
for him to appear in person al the
polling place and have it properly
registered. The old plan Of copying
the lists of voters at the various poll
ing places can not be followed this
year and the men in charge of the
registration of voters must start with
a clean sheet and make an entirely
new registration.
Thousands of names which have
been carried ON the registration rolls
for years must be erased this year as
the new law which prevents the vot-
ing of aliens is now in full effect ana
the only man whose name can go on
the new list is the man who was born
in this country or who has taken out
his second papers. The attorney gem
eral has ruled that aliens when regis
tering must furnish copies of their
second papers or be able to give evil
dence that such papers have been
issued. The city will furnish an en-
tllely new form Of registration books
1t is probable that the council will
set aside two or even three days for
the registration in order to give every
legal voter chance to get his name
on the rolls. There are hundreds Of
men listed on the voting rolls now who
have long since ceased to be electors
in the county. The operation of the
new law against aliens voting will I'M
doubtedly result in twenty per cent
loss in the voting strength of the city
and some of the politicians who have
looked into the matter carefully claim
that the revised list win not give Ke-
nosha more than three thousand legal
voters.
This dropping of the foreigners will
make vast difference in the conduct.
ing of the coming elections. Many
men who have been active in politics
have counted on these votes to elect
them year after year and it is thought
that the change in the registration
will bring an end to the political life
of such men. 1t is declared that less
than ten per cent of the foreigners
who have voted III the city at past
elections have taken out second pap
ers. In some of the wards it is
thought that the vote will be reduced
more than fly per cent from the vote
cast at the election held in 1912.

CHANGE OF FORTUNE

Daniel Forsythe considered himself
Sone of the most fortunate men in the

that, young Denzil Bell and Lucia

Sabbath I'm Lapland.

Editor of The Virginian:
Sir-After reading the very interesting ar
ticle written by A. c. Sabbath Obser-
vance l have concluded that now is the time
to ask a question regarding Sabbath obser-
vance.
have asked the question Of representatives
of different denominations and mono have given

denominations say Sunday is the Sabbath and
all say 1t must be kept holy Personally have
no choice all days alike to me. If there

for days, and human joys and griefs. hopes and

it Is open to all Corners none are barred
If should ask of you If you lived in Green
witch and 1857 Saturday and 1901 was
Sunday what day would you keep, no doubt
but you would say the day would be from sun
rise to sunset from midnight to midnight.
But the question is this: If you in lap

what day would be the Sabbath? Would you
work eighteen months and rest three or should
lyou go nearer the North Pole until your day was

you do? A. r. C., speaking Of Moses law.

PFTERSBURG'S GRIEVANCE.

Petersburg has a grievance against Secretary
McAdoo. which the Inder-AppeaI voices in this
manner:
The value OF the products Of the farm sold
in Petersburg every year is greater than the
value OF agricultural products sold In any city
of Virginia save Richmond. The value of the
peanuts handled here every season Is estimated
at 81, 500, 900 upwards. Petersburg g the chief
market for Spanish peanuts. The money needed
ito move the bulk of this crop is supplied by the
banks of Petersburg.
The money to move the tobacco crop sold in
the Petersburg market is put up by the Peters
ltnrg dealers who get IT from the Petersburg
banks.
The cotton sold here every fall is paid for
with money advanced by the Petersburg banks.
The same is true of many thousands of dol
lars necessary for the handling of other staple
Icrops grown in this section and sold in the
Petersburg market
/ Iynchburg and Roanoke bankers to confer with
him regarding the distribution of the $50 600, 900
which he proposes to advance TO the banks for
crop moving purposes, but ignores the bankers
! OF Petersburg, whose needs are much greater
in so far as the volume of farm products han
+ ed nd the money needed for this purpose are
concerned
OF course the fact that Lynchburg is the
home of the chairman OF the house committee
ON banking and currency and the fact that Roa
Inoke Is situated in his district probably account
for the sighting of Petersburg by the secretary
Of the treasury. II these facts do not explain
there is valid explanation.
We do not really believe that Secretary Nc
Adoo TO give him the benefit of the doubt, intended
any slight to Petersburg. Knowing the proximity
of the two cities~-Richmond and Petersburg
and realizing probably that they have everything
in common and that their interests are prac
tically identical. he thought probably that thu
Richmond bankers could represent the Cockad'
City at the conference. But we really thinl
Petersburg, as does the IndcrAppedl, should have
been represented.
