Senator Pittman. Let me suggest that
Some of the other Senators want to touch
on this. Reading:
Sec. s.. The District Court of the Vir-
pin Islands shall have jurisdiction for the
naturalization Of aliens residing in the
Virgin Islands Of the United States, and
for this purpose residing in the Virgin
Islands Ell the United States shall be
counted in the same manner as residence
in the United States.
The Chairman. Is there any comment
on that section ? After a pause That
Will be passed, and | will read the next
section reading
That no law shall be enacted in the
Virgin Island Of the United States which
shall deprive any person Of life, liberty,
or property without due process of la ~,
or deny to any person therein equal pro-
lection Of the laws.
That in all criminal prosecutions the
accused shall enjoy the right to have the
assistance of council for his defense, to

of the accusation, to have a copy thereof,
to have a speedy aud public trial. to be
confronted with the witnesses against
him, and to have compulsory process for
obtaining witnesses in his favor.
That is simply a bill Of rights.
Judge Williams. It is simply a bill Of
rights which is already there by court de-
cision, but it is well to have ii in this so
everybody can read it for himself.

The Chairman. That will be made by
unanimous consent. Senator Johnson
raised objection to that paragraph.
Judge Williams. May | ask if | may
at this J~uDcture say whether that inter

designed to interfe g with present ar
engagements ? 1t )oks like it might pos

that matter in mind fully q while ago.
Would that be considered as interfering

Simple---Lke a Fox

A total of a half million cop
les of the Minnesota Leader
have been sent out over the
state (precious few of them
were scattered among the vot-
ers of Schall's home city,, since
September 1st. If Schall isn't
trying to frame" the G.. O. P.
in this state, then he's letting
lot of shavings fall on the floor.
Schall doesn't come up for
his Senatorial licking until
1880 but here we find him
working in his little political
cabinet shop two years, plus,
in advance of his own cam
paign.
And bear this in mind:
Schall will be a Republican
regular" just as long as the
Republicans are regular
Schallites, but let them exhibit
symptoms of choosing another
man for the position he now
holds and Schall will be any,
thing else, but.

number soon off the press (and

If you were afraid of the old

was on a hospital bed, put
there by the gunner of your

in Chicago at a Safety" con-
ference. Surely you would
dare carry a message to an in
valid, unless your guilty con-
science made you cover and
cringe like the craven which
many members of your depart
ment declare you to be.
Your crony Barnett didn't
act as you do. He didn't run
around crying for sympathy
and telling folks it was all your
fault. When the heat got too
strong he exchanged several
silver beams of prosperity for
a one-way railroad ticket. If
he didn't leave his address
with you, you have earned the
right to get it from members
of his gang that you let out of

to his sanctum, or separating

With arms waving like lin

with genuine self pity por-

We won't regale the public

of special favor to him, we are
