What the Law
Allows

~ NLY members of the black and white
races may be naturalized in the United
States; that excludes the Chinese and
japanese But every one born on United States
soil is American. Thus, the native born son
of Chinese parents may be tZxen from them by
the draft and made to hLht for the United
States, although his faMer and mother may
have lived here most Of their lives and been
refused the privilegez of citizenship.
There are four r<ads to citizenship: by birth
American so% or under the American flag
at sea; in the of minors, by the naturali-
zati>1 Of the father, mother if the father is
dead; by taking out naturalization papers;
and, for an adult woman, by marrying a
citizen.
woman automatically becomes citizen Of
the United States if she marries man who is
-one without passing any of the tests or going
through any of the examinations that are re-
quired of man an unmarried woman who
wishes to qualify for acknowledgements
only that she is a member of one of the races
that may be naturalzed. She need not have
qualified by five years. residence in the country
and one in the state, know how to speak
English, nor be able to write her name, nor
produce evidence of good character, nor even
take the oath of allegiancel
Conversely, woman born in this country,
brought up in this country, feeling and calling
herself an American in every sense of the
word, promptly becomes an alien if she mar
ries an alien.
President Grants daughter married a
foreigner and instantly became foreigner in
her own land. When later she divorced her
husband she tried to establish her rights as a
citizen, but found it impossible; so She could
not be an American again until she was made
one by an act of Congress, after her husband
died, although she was Presidents daughter.
The young American lawyer and suffragist
lnez Milholland, when she married Mr.. Boisse-
vain became a Dutch woman and a subject of
Queen Wiheln,ina, although she was born and
brought up in the United States Moreover,
since the practice of law by an alien is for
bidden, she was barred from her profession.
Therefore, when woman goes to register
for an election she is asked, in addition to the
questions that asked of men, care YOU
married or single?" And if married, els your
husband Americana" No one asks her
where she was born!
If her husband is not an American she can
not vote, regardless Of her own nativity. If he
is naturalized she must take his naturalization
papers with her when she goes to register for
an election.

The noise of children playing on the dirty

there came thick, angry words, and the sound
of blow was answered by child's frightened
shrek.
"You hear that?" said the Social Worker.

up the stairs.
"How do you find out who is the best candi

whether he is an honest man or not? That

said Instead of charging us for the decora-
