A PECULIAR LAW

AZ NhS 'tN 1885,
up land urder any of our land laws
requiring that the entry a be d
citizen of the United States must
make a showing as 10 her citizen
ship whether she is a native born
citizen or not. If this is neglect
ed the entry will be held up and
All affidavit of citizenship required.
Many married women who are re-
quired to furnish this affidavit Of
citizenship regard it as a useless
bit of red tape, but it is very nee
essary owing to a popularity in our
laws.
On March End, 1907, Congress
passed a law d~ecreeing that hence
forth all married women sra Of the
same citizenship as their husbands.
but this law does not apply to per-
sons who were married before
March End, 1907. 1t is plain to see
that if an American born girl mar
ries a foreigner she loses her citi-
zenship and can only regain it by
inducing her husband to become
naturali7ed. If d foreign born girl
comes over to this country and
marries an American citizen she
straightway becomes a legal CITIZEN
Of the United States.
This law is not we'll understood
by most people and much confusion
results from it's working. Most
married women believe they are of
the same citizenship as before mar
riage and If asked would unhesi-
tatingly swear that they are native
born citizens, notwithstanding the
fact that they may have married an
alien since March 2, 1907, and
thereby lost their citizenship. The
land office has found that it cannot
rely upon the simple assertion of a
married woman because she is liza
BILE not to be fully informed on the
point, and therefore they require
that every married woman show be-
yond the possibility of a doubt that
she is a citizen OF the United States
according to law. 1t is not a mat
ter in whiSh the Interior Depart
ment has any option. Congress has
made the laws which govern citi-
zenship and has also decreen that
the public lands pass only to per-
sons who are legal citizens of the
United States. The Interior De.
partment, through the Land Office,
must take such steps as are neces,
sary to carry out the provisions
Of the law, and this showing as to
citizenship of married women is
one Of them.
If every married woman would
remember this and whenever she is
called upon to show her citizenship
make a full showing as to the date
Of her marriage, if married before
March End, 1907, then show her
citizenship by birth or natnraliza'
tion, if married since March 2
1907, show the citizenship Of hcl
husband, she would avoid beins
obliged to return later and make
an aff Javit to these facts.
A woman who has married al
alien since the passage Of the Ac
Of March end, 1907 must produc,
a copy Of her husbands naturuliza
ton papers, duly certified to b.

he was naturalizcd, and must max

QUITE A DIFFERENCE

An item going the rounds OF the

2,714.767 acres. This included all
