COLBY SHAKES THE MAILED FIST

The severe arraignment of the Bolshevik government contained in the note of Secretary of State Colby addressed to the Italian Ambassador will meet with the approval of all true Americans, who, it may be re- marked. have frequently been dis mayed by evidences of a sympathetic feeling between the Wilson admins tration and the present rulers of Rus Sia. Neither can any exception be taken to the expressed wish of MT. Colby that an armistice between Po- land and Russia may bring speedy cessation of hostilities. But the American people are going to take emphatic issue with the Secretary in his attempt to pledge all available means' to the maintenance of the territorial integrity of Poland.
 Let it be remembered that the President is possessed at this mo- ment with every one of the emer- gency powers granted to him for the Waging of war, with the exception of the control of our transportation

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

A young man in the East has just
 astonished the country by the revela-
 tion of a new and easy way to make
 money. He discovered a loophole in the international money order system by which he took advantage of the enormous inequalities of exchange to make quite irrational profits. Not having enough capital to swing this business himself, he went out seeking it by promising profits that seemed fabulous, and, what is even more astonishing, made good his promise.
 The business, a novel form of wild cat business, legitimate in itself, pro duced nothing but profits. Its only actual effect, except that of enrich ing it's benefciaries, is very slight one on foreign exchange. MT. Ponzi himself, has displayed some very ad- mirable qualities-shrewdness, a tall ent for organization, talent for ex- ploitation. Being equipped with cap ital, he will doubtless employ these ad- vantageously in solid and useful lines.
 To those whom he has enriched, the new fortunes will be fairy gold. They have been lucky. Instead of worth less oil stocks, fake gold mines, or what not, they have stumbled into a profitable venture. They have dis played nothing but the simple faith | of sheep. Next time their faith will | miscarry, and the example will build l up in others that quaint notion that can be got for nothing.
 The promoter deserves credit. One can only guess at the amount of work involved, the endless detail, and work even on nonproductive enterprise wins His certificate holders are another breed of cat. They played ,he red and the red won.

OUR BREAD AND BUTTER

Arizona supplies a world product, copper, and therefore copper mining in the state is more or less depen- dent on world conditions for prosper ity. Since the war it has weather ed difficult period of high operat- ing costs and short orders at low prices.
 Taxation laws have tended to dis courage the industry and it is only by the absence of serious labor trou- bles that the mines. have been able to operate to the extent they have.
 Arizona is the greatest copper pro ducing state in the union and the success of the copper industry has a direct bearing on the prosperity of virtually every citizen in the state.
 While we may not be able to change world conditions we can stand for a conservative and constructive pro gram which will encourage production and development in our own country, thus helping to that extent to stabil ize conditions here where we earn our bread and butter.
 Sound labor conditions, uniform and equal taxation laws and an ab- sence of radicl and freak legislation will help build up all our industries. Laboring man and capitalist alike are equally interested in such pro gram.

CAPITAL, THE FRUIT OF LABOR

Except corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.-John xii, A.
 God made no mistake in creation. The desire of man to save and invest and acquire wealth for themselves is blessing to the world; for they can not do this without beneftting their fellow men, whether they wish to benefit them or not. All that men save and invest, helps other people to get living. It is all, or substantial ly all, paid out in wage, and the more they save and the richer they grow, the more they pay out in wages, and the things produced continually fur nish a new fund for saving, investing and increase in wages. This is the explanation of good employment and high wages in ''capitalist" countries such as the United States.
 All saving involves sacrifice. He who saves wheat for seed has refrain ed from consuming it; and so in all the list of things saved
 If a man is not to have legal title or control of what he can save. he will not save. History and experience teaches this.
 What have American workmen to gain by following the advise of radi calls who would confiscate capital and wreck industry. Nothing but unem- ployment and misery.

systems. Congress passed a bill re-
 pealing practically all of the war leg
 islaion, but MT. Wilson refused to
 sign it, and it failed to become a
 law. Under the powers with which
 he is clothed MT. Wilson ordered our
 soldiers to Archangel to fight the
 Reds, sent other military detach-
 ments into Poland on a similar mis- sion, and transported several thou sand men across the Pacific to guard against the Bolsheviks in eastern Si- beria. There is not doubt in the world that he could, if he wished, send an army to Poland tomorrow.
 If Secretary Colby means what he says, the United States is on the eve of another great war more than a thousand miles further from our shores than the last. If the admins tration actually intends to resort to 'all available means to make effect ual the maintenance of Poland's political independence and territorial integrity the nation will soon see the draft in operation once more, the cantonments humming with a new life, the communicating of ships for the transportation of troops and SUD- plies, and of industries for the manu- facture of munitions, and last but not | least the sad fareweIls in hundreds ] of thousands of homes as the boys march away to vindicate the inter- national obsessions of the White House autocrat.

DESTRUCTIVE EXPERIMENTS

This is liable to prove bad year for trust busters and onslaughts on industries
 The world is having considerable experience with the application of radical ideas in Central and Eastern Europe.
 They have been fairly successful in Russia and Austria in bursting the trusts, putting the banks out of busi- ness, wrecking the ordinary mechan- ism of trade and distribution, and taking industries away from the own CTS
 There were undisputed evils in the operations of all these apartments of life. But the old system did have this obvious advantage. It worked. It didn't work perfectly. It had inn perfections. Still, it worked and maintained millions of families in a fair degree of comfort,
 Now that it has been destroyed, to- gether with its incidental evils, we find multitudes of people on the verge of starvation, cities almost de- populated, and civilization threatened with breakdown.
 The lesson is that modern life is built on a pretty complicated and de icate scheme that has been develop ed over a long course of years. We expect to adjust and perfect the ma chine as rapidly as we know how, but we don't plan to scrap it and throw it out of the window.

it we'll to refer at this time, though
| previously referred to it and hat
is the Boyd case cited by counsel. In
the Digest the Boyd case is alluded
to under many and various headings;
and there is a great deal in the Boyd
case, as the court said, many things
in the nature of dicta.
However, the facts on which the
Boyd case was decided were these:
(1) That by reason of his status,
Boyd became a citizen of the United
States under and by virtue of the pro-
vision of law that provided for Nebras
ka's becoming a state.
(2) The Supreme Court sitting in
judgment on the matter reasoned that
as Boyd's father did complete his ma
t~uralization prior to the time of the
election of Boyd, and SO for that rea-
son it was held that Boyd was a citi-
zen in the year he was elected gov
ernor of the State of Nebraska: these
were the points on which the case
was decided.
There is another point l think it
well to touch upon: That is the rule
that-the records of court proceedings
cannot in after years be added to or
disproved by parol evidence. The rea-
son for this is as plain as it is sound.
II we could add to or disprove by such
evidence, nothing would be settled.
If after twenty years we could insert
in the minutes of the court a judgment
of naturalization of w. A. Mckay, then
any other kind of a judgment could,
likewise, be supplied and, likewise
any judgment that now appears could
be disproved, which would amount to
setting it aside.
In the opinion of this court there is
no rule of law any sounder than that
which prevents the respondent in this
case from placing in the records of
this court a judgment of naturalization
about which the court calendar and
court minutes are silent.
There is another matter that is of
importance and that is that naturali-
cation matters proper should have
been heard in term time and no com
petent evidence has been introduced
during the hearing hereof showing
that court was in session at the time
the alleged naturalization took place.
Ordinarily the court would consider
that after taking up and disposing of
the points as has been done that the
case was sufficiently covered; but, as
stated in the beginning, this matter
being of considerable public import
ance, l will touch briefly on certain
other phases of the case that l would
not ordinarily.
First-the question naturally arises
in our mind-was not something done
in this courtroom years ago that would
cause the respondent to hold himself
out as a citizen?
What Done Unknown
The court costs docket supplied
some information; 1st-it shows a
large number of names were entered
thereon (no number being given them)
showing that deposits had been made,
presumably; End, it shows that it was
just before election. 1t is reasonable
to presume that, perhaps, something

respects with the other requirements
of the naturalization law"
This means that under the condi-
tons that have been shown to exist
in this case that if the respondent is
bona fide in his intentions there is
now a speedy remedy available if he
desires to take advantage of it.
Deputy Clerk Unauthorized
Another point that, while l am COM
menting on the case, might well be
referred to is that from the evidence
on behalf of the respondent it appears
that the clerk of this court was not
in Wailuku during the alleged naturali-
cation and that a deputy clerk oficiat-
ed. AS to the powers of deputy clerks
in naturalization matters granting
that they were had) reading from the
American Digest, Volume 2, page 21S:
"A certificate of naturalization must
be attested by a ~prothonotary orr
clerk; attestation by a deputy not be-
ing sufficient. Anonymous, 2 Brewst.
1888"
If such is the law then, aside from
the fact that there is no record of
naturalization in the court records, no
valid certificate of naturalization could
have been issued during the alleged
opeCldl leIul VI COuTL IOT lue year
1900 during which alleged term the
contention is that naturalization pro-
ceedings had been had that, l think,
sufficiently covers all points necessary
to comment on.
From the evidence in this case the
court finds that Eugene Murphy, petit
toner herein, is a citizen of the Unit
ed States; the owner of real property
in the County of Maui, and a taxpayer
and elector of the said County of
Maui, Territory of Hawaii. And the
court further finds that there is no re-
cord in this court of the n~aturaliza-
ton of the respondent as alleged in
his answer; and that respondent has
not shown himself TO be a citizen and
eligible to hold the Office of district
magistrate of Waikiki, County of
Maui, Territory of Hawaii: and judg-
ment of custer is given as prayed for.
Dated at Waikiki, Maui, T. H. this
goth day of December, A. d. 1920.

was done, l wouldn't want to say what
it was; that while whatever it was
nothing appears on the court records
to show that any citizenship was
granted, nothing to show today. How
/ ever, a raft of voters were turned
loose upon the community. That may
sound like rather strong language but
| think it appears sufficiently from this
court calendar that the officers of the
court al that time didn't at least OBJ
serve or understand what constituted
court proceedings. For instance Cir

Easy Remedy offered

the model S speed truck, and the big
works at Springfield, Ohio, will be
turned over to the exclusive produc-
ton of this new model. Although
business in International M 0 t o r
Trucks has increased 1900 per cent
since the year 1914, sensational
growth in itself, it is estimated that
the development of this new model
will double the companq's production
as soon as the capacity is reached.
The Model S international will be
a 1900 pound capacity truck, 115 inch
wheel base, equipped with 34X5 pneu-
matte truck cord tires and electric
lights and starter. The list price of
the chassis will be 81 500 f. o. b. the
