] The second meeting of the Citizen- for their court hearing on June 90 was held in the Cha bcr of Commerce rooms last evening. More than 50 men attended 10 improve their chances of being sufficiently prepared when the day for examination arrives.
 The hour was spent upon the origin. meaning and uSc Of the American flag: the Consti ii ut ion. it's contents and importance; the government of the nation. it's general plan and present officials: the struggle and growth of unity in the development of the ma tion. Charts, maps and blackboard expla nations were employed to make the facts better understood. The treatment of topics was necessarily brief
 F. P. O'Brien stated plainly that there is no purpose of making the requirements for citizenship easier or of reducing the standards so that any but the most competent may secure that privilege. Making citizenship easier would tend to cheapen it for all. But the object of the meeting was to extend the fullest assistance to those who are ready to work and study in making themselves better fitted for all that citizenship de- mands of them.
 For several weeks Mir. O'Brien has been spending much time in the fac tories aiding the applicants for first or second papers during working hours.
 All declarants whose papers were filed before July list, 1918. are being reminded by a post card that it is two years since their first papers were filed and that they may report for assistance in making the petition for second papers if they wish to be- come citizens. The time designated for such purpose is on Monday evening" at the office in old Burritt school.

The papers these days arc busy in troduCing you to the republican prcsi- dcntial nominee, Senator Warren G. Harding, in many poses and many places. Here's Warren, or whatever they called him then, when he was starting his career which. it is pre- dicted, will land him in the White House. Beyond his ambition and the striped best suit" the politician had little in the days of his youth. The pained expression and the stiff atti tude of his posture is due to the heroic measures adopted by photog- raphers of the old school with their victims. not to a reluctance to face the cameras eye. Successful polii- clans are born with fortitude when :t comes to being photographed.
