Plillntk'lpliinn te take advantage of tin
new law safeguarding Atmrl mi citizenship
fcir women who lime married foreigner,
constitutes a speedy anl illuminating reac
tion te a law the benefits of which ere
likely te he increasingly manifested. It
wns, of course, upon the logic f the suf
frage amendment that the fable lull was
framed.
There was an obvious lnennitouev In
regulations cemppllin numcn. of nual
tandlng with men ns uter and vitiens,
te accept, willy-nilly nnd autematical!, the
national itntus of their lutubiiml". Tliis
difGculty has lieen obviated b (he new nit,
whereby upplliutlens mii be made by whet
desirous of conserving thelr original tlti
icnRhip. It has been argued that the new rulitiK
will increase the complication-) Involved in
the problem of naturalijtlen. 'luce there
Is no assurance that ether (leicrniuents
will take tlie American pens' of view lint
the tnnclc cannot be removed except b an
international (otiventien briiuint; the law
of the varleuH nations into home frame of
conformity
Until that tntlicr unllktlv undcrtnKliu i
launched, it is at lcnt littini; for tlie United
States te apply s-ucli measures of justice n
it can enforce at home and te respei t tli"
plain implications of the amended (Vm-nt'i-Hen.
LAW WITH A LOOPHOLE
IF THE law regulating n ship's ni.inlfe-t
is what tlie Supieme feurt has jut ile
cided it te be, most laymen will think that
the law should be amended.
The (leelelnti wns handed down in a die
againnt the master of a -hip putting into a
Pacific fenr.t pert with a let of opium for
smoking en beard which did net appear in
his manifest. He in-i-teil that as the im
portation of Mich opium into the 1 'nltcd
States is forbidden, it was net necessary
for him te put it en his manifest. The
lower court sustained his centintlnn. The
Government appealed te the Supreme feurt.
which has by a vote of four te font sus
tained the lower court.
This ruling would seem te make It com
paratively easy for men who wi.-lied te
bring prohibited commodities into this coun
try te get the commodities where they euld
be smuggled en shore. If they de net h.ne
te enter opium for emeklng en their mani
fests, then they de net have te enter cham
'pagne or whisky or brand
If the stuff appeals en the m.imfct. the
' authorities can be en their guard Other
wise, the smugglers tan have things almost
all their own way.
INTOLERANCE DENOUNCED
rpiIERK Is no doubt that the resolution
JL condemning the Kit Klux Klan adopted
by the Administrative Committee of tlie
Federal Council of Clinches ,,f cust
America express the opinion of the great
mass of church people
The resolutions dcneunie vfTerts te incite
religious, prejudice and 1 acini ntit.tgnnl-m
and condemn mob law. The Federal Coun
cil could tnke no ethei ceurhe without doing
violence te nil that it stands for.
It wan organized for the purpose of bring
ing about a better state of feeling among
tbe churches nnd te secure, if possible, unity
of effort. These tesiilt cannot be attained
unless there is the broadest tolernnce for
difference of opinion en doctrinal question.
The Ku Klux Klan l Intolerant and mi
fuided. It Is devoted te 1111 attack uien
one great branch of the Chi Minn Chur li
and te two branches of the human r.ice, en
the theory that no one but these who held
certain religious view lime nglits whldi
any one Is bound te ri spe t
Such 11 view is net enlv subwrsn,. of all
religion, but of all political lihctt It
Ignores the btotherheod of man and the
fatherhood of (Jed. whlih are at the l)(l.
Jein of the foundations of the Chiltiau re
ligion WHY THE BOYS LINGER
THE revival of the report that all Ameri
can troops are seen te be vwthdt.iwn
from the Hhlne is unlikely te ei ite am
narked intensity of tnteiet in n public well
trained in disregarding such announce
ments. It no happens, however, tint the pros
pect of nn ca-ly evaeuntieti is at this time
actually worth attention. Witinri a few
weeks the Mixed Claims Commissi,,,, tc, ps.
tablibh the amount of (iirman indebtedness
te the United State in connection with
property losses te this fievernment and te
ether nations during the war and the period
f American neutrality will be at work.
There Is ever indication that anion upon
these financial problems will be taken as ox ex ox
peditleusly as possible
As the United States lias lung since parted
company with Its fetmer allies, it should
be clear that the presence of American
troops en the Uhlnc Is for the safeguarding
f strictly American interests in this in
stance, debts as yet undetermined and un
paid. Reasons for the occupation will van
jib. when these claims nre disposed of te
the satisfaction of this Government.
"When Oermnny has made arrangements
for footing thn bill which the United .States
Is te present te her our little army of lliCI)
regulars In the llhinelaud will undoubtedly
be ordered home. There N nothing inys inys

? for t-ettllng International disputes without
resort te force. Jlen have been taiKing
after this manner for n long time, but war
continues.
Henry Ferd's rcmnrks about war, con
tained In the story of his life, Indicate that
he has thought just a little farther than
Secretary Weeks, for he bays that about nil
that war accomplishes is te make the com
batants willing te come te nn agreement by
negotiation en the Issues en which they
went te war.
Mr. Ferd thinks It would be much better
te negotiate tlrst and prevent war. If no
nation sought (hat te which it was net
justly entitled it would be much easier for
them te fellow the suggestion of Mr. Ferd.
Hut, unfortunately, nations seek te take !v
force that which they knew the could net
get by negotiation. Yet many wins could
be prevented If the disputants could talk the
matter ever In advance of hostilities mid
seriously consider whether it was weith the
Htcrlllce of life and Measure In get that
which the ether part was unwilling te
concede.
Tliete cannot be loe mm h discussion
about the importance of doing nwn.v with
wars, however, for It all bilngs the d.i of
disarmament a little nearer.

CURSE OF INDIFFERENCE
ENTHUSIASTIC believei In ileiuei nicy
have friipii title uigul that voting en
election day be cmiiputserv, with penalties
provided for these ililms who could give
no valid reason for stn.ving 1111,11 from the
polls.
Tills suggestion has usually hi en made
after the candidate's supported bv tlie en
thusiasts had been defeated The were
convinced that these who did net vote would
have voted ler the defeated candidate's.
This is a gratuitous assumption.
It would be nieie nearly In arceul with
tlie fiiH te ni) that the voters who stay
nwa from the polls are se well content
wltli tilings as they are that they de net
care te go te the trouble of changing them.
While the registration flgines In tills city
and In New Yerk are discouraging te these
who would like te see every one vote, they
nre mere) renew cd proof of the content of
the people or, as some might say, of popular
indifference te tlie performance of civic
duty.
Although a Governer li te be elected this
vear both in New Yerk and In Pennsjlrnnla,
H.1,000 fewer voters qualified te vote In this
city this venr "linn last, and In New Yerk
City the falling efT Ir 83.700. There was a
11111 ernlty campaign in Xcw Yerk Inst year,
which may explain the lessened Interest
this .vear, but there weie no Important offi
cers elected here, a enr age. It would
na In rally be supposed that when n Governer
nnd the members of the State Legislature
ate te be chosen the voters would register
in large numbers, Hut there seems te be
no justlllcntlen for this supposition.
Yet un interesting phnse of the situation
Is presented te view by the assertion that
at least i"0, 000 of the local shortage in regis
tration this j ear Is due te tlie fact that
the Republican organization refrained ftem
paying the poll las of that number of voter.
If this nssertlen be correct, then It is the
indifference of the organization intlier than
of the voters which Is responsible for the
shortage.
We are told in this Indirect way that the
organization has been In the habit of paying
tlie poll tax of a huge number of voters
who would net otherwise ipinllf. And
this; tee. In spite- of the fact that tills prac
tice is centraiy In law. The Legislature' of
IV.I" fei bade it In an attempt te break up
the practice of herding a let of unthinking
veteis te tlie polls te secure the election of
a machine tiiket which could net have wen
otherwise Rut it seems thnt a way has'
been found te get mound the- law, even if
It Is net dellheiatelv ignored.
If it were felt that there was any set ions
doubt of the election of Mr. Pincliet then
would have be i'ii a linger icglstratien of
veteis wlie de net take their eidcrs from
the machine Rut even e, this is no justl justl
liiatien for negleitmg te perform the duties
of a citlri'ti 111 1 11 piesciitatlve democracy.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL STORY
Its Fallibility Where Life Is nt Stake.
Mistaken Identity Famous Lecal -
Case Capital Punishment In
Portugal Abolished for a
Similar Instance
Ry GKORGH NOX McCAIN
ONLY once, I believe, during the last
thirty-five jenrs has nn attempt been
made te repeal the law imposing capitnl
punishment in this State.
In that Instance it was unsuccessful.
It never get be.vend the doers of the
committee room.
Everything had been set for its passage.
A innjetlty in both Heuse anil Senate
were pledged te its support.
Governer Rriitnbiuigh had agreed te sign
the measure.
Then 1 nine the Edd) stone explosion and
that sealed the fate of the bill.
Governer Riumbniigh declared that If
I hose guilt v of (he horror tepld be found
the) 111111 be hanged.
rpiIE death penally has been abolished hi
enlv four Slates of the Union.
In 11 number of foreign countries. In
cluding Italy, Portugal, Helland, Rumania,
etc.. it lias net been Imposed for .vcars,
Vai ions icasetis have been assigned ter n
refutui by some ceuntiies te adept the Mo
saic law of "nn ec for an ec, a teeth
for a teeth."
Principally it has been the fallibility of
human tisllmenv where life depended upon
its until or fnldty.
Anether argument has been the doubt
ful value of ciiciimstatillal evidence.
AT A dinner recently the question was
the principal topic of discussion. There
weie tlnec law vets piesent.
While' no coin liisieii satisfactory te all
was leached, it was tlie consensus of opin
ion that the human mind fellows the line
