Schools for Aliens

In some parts of the country especially in the Rocky Mountain region schools have been started to aid aliens who are desrous of becoming citizens. They taught to questions usually asked in aminatons into the qualifications of applicants for citizenship These questions at most are not severe tests of ones familiarity with the structure of our government of the natural intelligence of the applicant
 The other day one of them. a Hungarian, who lived in Austria Hungary until he was of mature .ears replying a question said he believed the ps-or was elected by popular vote He not only badly norred e. ta~ Character of the govern neat under witch ae 'Va- lorl but Ae proved urob- servant of his surroundings. He was asked what were ue colors of our flag and replied Green" Al first dance might think this alien would have a long way to go before he could be admitted to complete fellowship a citizen. but when we think of it, there many of us who born and have been bred under this government and not yet familiar with many of its forms For instance during the late campaign. 1t developed that many usually we'll informed persons had the hay ideas regarding the mode of eectne president of the United States They knew it somehow accomplished through the medium of officers called that these electors assembled in institution known as an electoral college. What happened there shrouded in mystery. But somehow, out of the proceedings pItsiutHl came m manner as pOpuldriy lneXpncaDle the process the conversion of the contents of chrysalis into butterfly.
 Probably not twenty-five per of the people knew precisely how the electors chosn and we think that not more than per cent could describe accurately the procedure of president making from the primaries the inauguration.
 In Arizona under the territorial form of government comparatively few citizens ever understood our exact relation to the federal government especially with respect to judicial system majority the citi had nothing to do with the courts and had no occasion to concern themselves about them This former Hungarian citizen had had nothing to do with Francis Joseph, who emperor when he arrived on the scene and still emperor when he left Hungary. So far he knew the emperor was the most popular person in the dual nation and would naturally have beat any other man in an election.

Hunting Out Heretics

There s law the books of Connecticut enacted in lc92 which survived the revolution and all the

 The law provides for the prosecution for blasphemy Of anyone who denies the literal truth of any part of the Bible. Gnmndfu of this law.

Werner OF Oc0nee Says State Schools
Compete Unfairly With the DenOmi.
national

Columbia. Jan. Ex-senator Werner
spoke at length yesterday in the upper
house on the question of free tuition
at State institutions, when Senator
Sinkler moved to strike out the en-
acting words of the Werner bill to re-
quire all students attending State COL
leges and universities to pay not less
than $40 session. tuition and abolish
ing scholarships in these schools.
Senator Werner said he had not ex-
pected to speak on this subject, yes
terday. Taxes are getting higher and
higher each year. He would rather
talk anywhere than on the floor of
the senate. Many persons who are
ale to pay tuition for their children
perjure themselves In order to save q
small sum Of money. The janitors at
the university were discussed. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the Carolina
boys i'put on airs" He did not think
that free tuition at State institutions
was fair to other colleges. and he
wanted everybody to pay or every
body to get free tuition. Senator ver-
ner referred to pamphlet issued re-
Gently by the president OF a denomi-
national college in South Carolina
The senator did not think that tuition
charges would keep any worthy boy
out Of college.
Senator sinkler said: ,"You are
right sir, when you say there is vice
and that some people get scholar
ships unjustly." But Senator sinkler
added that he would ask the senator
from oconee to draft bill to remedy
the situation and not to abolish schol-
arships. Senator Sinkler told the
senate that at recent meeting OF the
board OF trustees of the university q
committee was appointed to look into
this matter and he invited Senator
Werner to meet with that committee.
Further debate was postponed until
after third reading bills today.

BY reason Of the beneficiary scholar

lower house by Mr.. Hutto. who in his
bill sought to create the Office OF a
commissioner. at an annual sllary of
si,soo a year and travelling expenses.
whose duty 1t would be to investigate
and pass upon all beneficiary ,,cholar-
ships in the institutions of higher
learning In the State. 1t was said
that tho bill would not deprive any
boy or girl In need from obtaining !
scholarship. but that It would keep
parents comfortably orr from per-
juring themselvts to get free tuition
for son or daughter. g
Mr.. Mccullough Of Greenvilis called
attention to the conditions OF rece,v-
ing free tuition and said that the
problem Of remedying the evil had
come before the board Of trustees of
the University Of South Carolina. He
said that he was on special com

vexing problem and asked that tho
bill be recommitted so that the mat
