Obituary..

Mrs. John Lyon, for thirty-five years
a resident of Hamilton county, passed
away at 1890 Friday noon follow
ing an illness with heart trouble and
Indigestion. She had suffered with
heart trouble for many years and had
a severe illness in September and Oct
ober, being belfast for six weeks. Her
condition improved, however, and she
had been we'll until about four weeks
ago when she contracted her last ill
ness.
Had Mrs. Lyon lived until May II,
1918, she would have passed her
eighty-third milestone. Fifteen years
of her life were spent on Hamilton
county farm north of harrisburg; the
last twenty in Webster City at her
home on the north end of Bell avenue,
on the east side Mr.. Lyon passed
away March 20, 1909. The deceased is
survived by four sons: F. f. Lyon,
who lived with his mother; Il. q.

lives two blocks from his mothers
home. Two brothers and sister also
remain. F. Butler, Omaha, Rufus

acted by the state. Mr.. Gardner was
a member of the lower house of
congress from a Massachusetts dis
trict and when the war broke in
Europe he was in England and his
family was somewhere in Flanders.
Mr.. Gardner rescued his family in
an automobile and the things he
saw while in that country made of
him an unconmpromising foe of
Germany. From his seat in the
house he championed the cause of
preparedness and unbranded himself
and his colleagues for remaining SO
long silent upon this most import
ant question. We have all been
towards, he said. We have declared
i that the state MALTA was ample pro
lection when we knew better. We

intention of becoming citizens and fill
ed application for citizenship before
the declaration of war with Germany.
It seems that a statute Of the United
States, passed in 1913 during the war
of the United States with Great Brit
ain, provided that no citizen of coun-
try with which the United States is at
war shall become a citizen Of the
United States during the continuance
of the war; but that statute specifical-
ly provided that those alien enemies
who made their declaration of inten-
ton to become citizens Of the United
States prior to June Is, 1872, might be
admitted, thus admitting alien enc
mics Of the same class of the appli-
cants necessarily turned down yester-
6ay.-Sac Sun.
It is quite evident that congress in
tended when this law was enacted that
their intentions to become citizens of
the United States prior to the declara-
ton of war with Great Britain in 1912
should be accepted to full citizenship
upon satisfactory proofs of Qualifica-
tons. There are now thousands of
Germans in this country who made
declaration OF their intentions to be-
come citizens of the United States be-
fore war existed between America and
Germany These Germans should now
be accepted to full citizenship upon
satisfactory proof of loyalty, but of
course they cannot be SO long as that
statute remains upon the law books Of
the nation Therefore, Congress ought
to amend this law and fix the except
ing date as of April 6, 1917. All Ger
mans now loyal to the United States
ought to be admitted to full citizenship
and the only way possible to bring
about such results is to make the sug-
gested change in the law.
