When the WOOdchuck Chucketh.
Rolled snugly in a furry ball
The chuck lay dreaming of the hour
When 10 the outer world he'd crawl
And exercise his power.
Ger earth and air and Boreas
He'd visions of control supreme
When came the day Of Candlemas
To wake him from his dream.
He fears not the law Of universe,
Nor the prophecy of Hicks,
He'll rule for better or for worse
For at least the next six weeks.
His day is come; at last he wakes,
Mankind his power to prove,
The dust from hair and ears he shakes
Then ventures up above.
Alas! The dreams of chuck and men
Get many a distracting blow;
He found the entrance to his den
Beneath four feet of snow.

one of the peculiar and interesting
developments OF the suffrage move
ment is the discovery that under the
naturalization laws OF the United
states "A native born American wo-
man loses her citizenship when she
marries man Of foreign birth who
has not been naturalized. This is
known as the expatriotton clause of
the naturalization laws and was added
% them in 1907.
At first glance the provision looks
like hardship. bat the reason is
plain As the wife OF foreigner "a
woman becomes a subject OF the
country 10 which her husband claims
allegiance The section covering the
case reads as follows: ANY American
woman who marries q foreigner shall
take the nationality OF her husband.
AT the termination OF the marital re-
lation she may resume her American
citizenship. II abroad. by registering
as an American citizen within one year
with a consul Of the United States. or
BY returning 10 reside in the United
states. OF. il residing in the United
States at the termination OF the mari
tai relation. by continuing 20 reside
therein"
on the other hand a foreign woman
automatically becomes citizen OF the
United States on marrying an Ameri-
can and retains her citizenship after
his death unless she forfeits il by
failing 70 maintain her residence in
the United States. The law Is OF CON
siderable importance in Illinois where
women now have the right 10 vote and
where there have been many inter
marriages between American and 9th
er nationalities. especially in cases
where the alien husband has failed OF

TILE PLAIN TRUTH.

Sen. Lane put il brutally. but he told
the truth when ne described how the
widows. orphans and trust funds of
New England were robbed to swell
the fortune Of a New York master Of
finance and his beneficiaries. 1t mat
ters little who Sen. Lane designated
lin this particular instance the princi-
pie stands.
The big fortunes of the country have
been made at the expense of the home
comforts and the happiness of the
plain people. 1t is all very we'll for
apOlOgists for legalized robbers TO say
that they prey upon each other. but
they don't. The plain people provide
the money they take from each other.
Little if any Of the money which con-
stitutes the big fortunes is earned. 1t
is the unearned increment of the hold
up.
1t is no worse to say of j. PierpOnt
Morgan because he is dead than Of
others of his class who are alive. A
mans death does not expiate his sins
either with those who were his fellow
btluBS OF Will HIS MAKER. w nat ne
leaves behind him is as property a
subject of criticism and censure as Of
praise and commentator. Many men
who have amassed great fortunes have
done commendable things for the
world. but though they claimed all
the credit for ii they did it largely
with other peoples money obtained
through means recognized by business
rules as honest but which would not
stand the test of conscience.
And yet Sen. Lane was out of or
der" when he made these statements
concerning the wrecking Of the New
Haven railroad system in the senate.
OF course he was out OF order in the
senate because his reflections were not
clothed in parliamentary language.
but he was not out of order in the
forum of the people, where the right
to use plain language and call a spade
a spade is becoming recognized.
