Recently some places when men are being examined
for their citizenship papers government attorneys have
got the habit of asking applicants if they would light
against their native lands in the event that such native
lands entered into war with the United States. It really
looks as if this question is rather brutal and unnecessary.
You cannot take away a man’s love for his native land no
matter how sterling a citizen of his adopted country he
wishes to be. When that question is asked one can unde r
stand the applicant for citizenship papers turning over
in his mind the flag that he was raised tv) love, the liffls and
vales of his motherland, the school where he was educated,
the brothers and the father against whom he is asked to
swear he would tight. Why, the chances are that if the
United States went to war tomorrow with some Kuropean
nation this great nation would hardly ask men to tight
against their own flesh and blood, and even it such a
course were necessary nothing is gained by anticipating so
frightful a tragedy. It sounds too much like a wife asking
that a mother be thrown out of the house.
Let it be supposed that it-is a man’s duty to light for
his adopted country against the country of his nativity
and, yet. what is gained by asking a man if he would do
so before there is the slightest danger of such an event
occurring? Such a question probably very often causes
perjury and cannot do any good. A man will fight for his ,
adopted country against his native country or he will not,
but it is certain that the asking of such a question will not
determine him one way or the other.
i
The plank in the Democratic platform asking for the ,
spending of the territorial funds for the establishment of :
schools and the building of roads ought to receive suppoi t. 1
We here know that there is a district not a thousand miles
from Seward where over a hundred children are left with
out schools entirely. Next spring the territory, it is said,
will have something like half a million dollars at its dis
posal and no better way could be found for spending it.

Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.

Th**M* striped sweater coats worn
vith one-toned corduroy of linen
kills are a sort of vice versa IIip
lop of fashion from one toned sweat
ers worn with awning striped skills
hat were so omnipresent at the be
ginning of the season.
Although the stripes are riotous in
heir color effects, they are not so
vithout rhyme or reason by any
means. They are striped in regi
mental colors and each daughter of
he regiment may express by her coat
1 of many colors her regimental prefer
ence.
For the patriotic preparedness per
son there are the stripes of red, white
and blue and her sentimentals as well
as her figure may thus be embodied in
her garment. Regimental colors are
a deal more exclusive however, and
express a preference not quite so broad
and promiscuous. Worn with white
skirts these gay striped sweater coats
are particularly stunning and there
also are accompanying accoutrements
of hats and parasols striped to match.
The expression: “Oh, she is that
stripe" herehv gathers new meaning
and the regimental sweater offers, as
well as warmth and adornment, a de-j
lightful modern method of wearing
your heart on your sleeve by wearing
instead HIS stripek.
Verily, no regiment would fad to
present arms to such color bearers.
