Without hastily committing ourselves
on the question of the status of the
second wife, we nevertheless agree
with the professor that there is no
safe way of rushing naturalization.
Our electorate, already embarrassed
by Indifference AMI Ignorance as to the
form of government we are working
cut, should not be increased by a class
of citizens who are not surely in SYM
patty with the purpose and ideals of

this when naturalization is too quick.

NATURALIZATION PROBLEMS.

Prof. Robert F. Forester of the de-
partment of economics of Harvard I'm
iversity sees many reasons to expect
an enormous influx into this country
after the European war. Especially
does he look for immigrants from
those countries which are impoverish-
ed and exhausted when the war ends.
To prepare for this condition he
thinks our course should be Ito tell the
rest of the world what kind of raw
material we want for the making Of
American citizens and then we will get
it."
We are especially token with his
ideas concerning the fastening of nat
uralization after the emigrant is once
admitted since we have long been
convinced that there is more danger
in attempts to assimilate our foreign
elements too promptly than in keeping
an alien element among us. Speaking
of the emigrant, Prof. Forester says:
81 do not approve of rushing his nat
uralization too fast or attempting to
convert him into an American by arti-
fetal means When so converted or
transformed he is much less apt to
remain an American when the real test
comes; such test, for example, as
offered by the present war.
Somebody has proposed that a head
tax be imposed on every alien for every
year that he remains an alien beyoni
the period within which he might be-
come citizen as provided by the pres.
ent naturalization laws; the purpose
of the proposed tax being to aeceler-
ate him into citizenship
II doubt if that would be advisable
1t would be artificial. There is no test
Of foreigners fitness for citizenship

ITALY WANTS TO INCREASE
ITS MERCANTILE MARINE

ROME Italy, Dec. 21.-In order
to increase its mercantile marine, Italy
has by governmental decree dropped
its subsidy policy and made q bid to
shipbuilders to place their vessels I'M
der the Italian flag by ordering the
removal of practically all ship taxes
for five years and exempting such
ships from military requisition for a
similar period. Already twelve new
ships are building in Italy under the
new law and, inasmuch as a vessel
pays for itself within three or four
trips under existing freight rates, it Is
anticipated that foreign firms will take
advantage of these new conditions.
The immediate reason for the new
law is that Italy has been suffering
severely during the war because of
high ocean freight rates on grain, coal,
and every other product imported.
However, Italy has been actively in
creasing her merchan marine for the
past dozen years and she intends to
continue that policy after the war. Be-
fore the war she was spending S,000,-
600 q year in subsidies, five million of
which went to vessels carrying the
mails, one to cargo boats, and two to
shipyards. She has lost through sub
marines during the war more than
100000 tons of vessels. which has cut
down her increased tonnage obtained
by subsidies. Her total net tonnage
January 1, 1915, was 1,2S2,115 as com
pared to 1,632,614 tons in 1905. Her
number of steamers at present is 949,
representing a tonnage of 933,156.

THE KAISER'S MADNESS.

Napoleon is quoted as once having
said that the Lord is on the side of
the heaviest cannons. william, OF
Germany, seems to think that the Di-
vine godspeed has followed him all
the days of his life and now in the
hours of his peace proposal, the will
of God is quoted in an address to his
troopers. How the world can sympa-
thize with the chickering's of such a
mad monarch is more than some peo-
pie are able to reason. 1t is blasphemy
and Gods judgement shall never rest
in favor on such a ruler. In an address
tc the German soldiers in Lorraine
William is quoted as follows:
"The brave endurance and iron
tenacity with which you have re-
pulsed all enemies on all fronts
for years has made 1t possible for
me to address to my adversaries
a proposal for peace negotiations.
Whether they will accept I do not
know and the result is uncertain.
The act is in Gods hands as in
our whole struggle. He will de-
eide upon 1t and we will leave it to
Him. We must not argue with
what he orders.
1--WE will still be grateful to Him
that we have thus far had the
honor of being His instruments In
the divine judgment that has come
upon our enemies. Let the decis-
ion fall as 1t will. The hewing
will proceed further until our ad-
versaries have had enough"

A SANTA CLAUS LETTER.

There are many things which VI

when the cause is apparently right

The usual requests during thii
season are from the children witt
their Santa Claus letters. but som
etimes there are other letters-greeteC
with the same interests. The Albany
Chamber of Commerce has written
letter to Santa Claus-and the same
pointed gifts can be asked for Ameri-
Gus. Because of its uniqueness. we
herewith publish the Albany letter:
Dear Santa Claus;

"a citizenship great in heart,
high in thought, and strong in pur-
pose not to do or suffer wrong.
0,,ng to them spirit Of loyal
anG lasting cooperate in the
work of upbuilding their city and
section; untrammelled faith in
their town, and a sincere desire to
contribute toward her moral and
material advancement.
Bring a consciousness of the
duty each owes to the community
in which he lives, and determ-
ination, imperishably strong, to
walk unfinchingly in that high
path which leads to self-reliant
nobleness.
Bring to the chronic crouch,
knocker, and Pathfinder pair of
rose-colored spectacles to correct
his vision, that, wearing them. he
may see more Of the roses and less
of the thorns.
To the representatives of our
municipal government bring that
inward sense of better things
which will make them men impreg-
nable to fear-brave, unyielding
men, who will legislate wisely, la
Dor tremendously, and, as the
guardians of the peoples welfare.
do those things which will make
us love our city, not only for what
she is, but for what she is to be.
Give to the Chamber of Com

we owe to all the people, an ideal
ity of aim that finds tits truest re-
ward in unselflsh service to our
fellowmen; that with good humor,
pluck, and patience, we may give
increasingly of the best that Is In
us, and strive with unwavering en-
enthusiasm for the successful ac-
complishment of our aims and
desires. Faithfully yours,
