WEDNESDAY. JUNE Il, 1913

Yesterday an application for the rights and privileges of citizenship was presented in the U. s. court at Juneau and the U. $. attorney objected on the grounds that the applicant had been convicted of felony during the past five years. The judge has taken week to consider. Whatever may be the de- termination of this case-ot it's merits we know nothing-it certainly appears to us that applicants for citizenship should come with clean hands. Aliens who land upon our shores no doubt have many ideas of government, but they should obey the laws at least un- til they become citizens. A large per cent of the criminal class is found amoug those who are not citizens, and We earnestly believe that they should be handled without gloves, and in every case where they are found guilty they should be given the maximum rather than the minimum sentence. Thus may they learn that true American loves his countryi and obeys it's laws. Otherwise our fair land may become the dumping ground of the wrong doers from every country, and the bur den will fall heavily upon our people.

Carnival Postponed

At meeting of the directors held last Wednesday afternoon, it was again decided to postpone the Merchants Fair and Mayflower Carnival. It was not done this time because of the scar letina, as that disease is now nearly conquered in Douglas, but because the Fourth of July is so near that every body will be busy for the next few weeks preparing for the great day. No date is set for the carnival, but it is hoped that time may come in the early fall when there will be nothing to interfere.

Upon the arrival of Judge Peter D. Overfield, of the U. s. court at Juneau, the matter of bail bond for Joseph
 Mac Donald was taken up. Ever since his arrival MT. Macdonald has been kept in jail, Judge Lyons having re peatedly refused to allow bail to be given. When it was taken into consid- eration that Mir. Macdonald came thou sands of miles to stand trial, coming out of Mexico during the recent trou blesome times, of his own free will and at his own expense, to give himself over to the United States authorities, the danger of him running away is per hnps small. Judge Overtield, after hearing he facts iu the case, immedi ately fixed the bal! at S50,OOo, which was soon ,forthcomipg, with 5. L. Thane, B. M. BehrendS, Emery Valen tine, J. c. Mcbride, P. H.

and kissed her, tenderly, just once.
Cupid lowered near-but alas! and,
alack! so did the policeman of the

Morville was taken to Jail. In court
this morning the case was continued
until Sept Morville threatens civil
