Regarding Police Protection
Considerable dlHMdmfnctlon Is found
MtnotiK the buslnChs .men lis regards
the police protection now furnished
the city ut night. Whether the pres
ent policy Is being Adhered to OB tin'
fatggoMlon of the Mayor, or not, we
cannot s(itc, bul Tho Chief, together
yA' with n majority of the business men,
in in favor of the marshal being re
llovcd of work during the (lav time,
mid having him on duty at night.
Since UiOMilootiB In this city have been
thing of the past, it is a rare occhs
alon that calls for the marshal's ser
vice durlug the day light hours, and
to know he was on the job at night,
would relieve many of considerable
anxiety.
No man, no matter how ellluleut, can
work a night shift and a day shift to
Kttlier, without one or the other shifts
losing, and we trust, that the Mayor
may soon see that it is for the best
interests of the city to have the
marshal placed on a regular schedule
of hours, which will cover the night
shift exclusively.

Few Facts Concerning
Naturalization
The nccomponying Information rela
tive to naturalization U submitted
solely for the benefit of deserving
aliens who are eligible for citizenship
and reside in Webster county, and it
should confer a distinct benefit upon
them.
The naturalization records In the
ofllco of Miss Edith L. McKelghau,
Clerk of the District Court at Red
Cloud were reviewed on the 9th instant
by J. M. Ournett, United States Natur
alization Examiner, of St. Louis.
The examiner calls attention to the
fact that many aliens living in Webster
comity who' have filed their declar
ations of intention ("first papers") to
become citizens of the United States
are permitting them to expire through
carolcssuess, .
Under the Federal naturalization
law, any alien who has declared his
Intention to become un American citi
zen since Sept. 20, 1000, must file ap
plication for final papers in the dis
trict clerk's olllcc of the county In
which ho lives within seven years after
the date of his declaration of intention
or his rights under the declaration are
lost, and he must make a new declar
ation of intention, waiting two more
years before he Is again eligible for
citizenship.
The examiner states that there are
more than twenty five aliens now ru
siding iu Webster county who arc iu
possession of worthless declarations
of intention, as they failed to apply
for final papers before their declar
ations became seven yeirs of age. As
all declarations filed since Sept 2(1,
lrOO, bear upon theli fa:e the legend
"Invalid For All Purposes Seven Years
AfterThe I).te Hereof," the examiner
states that any use by an alien of a
paper which has expired Is contrary
to the laws of the United States. The
Government has a complete record of
the names and addresses of all declar
ants, including those who hold worth
less papers.
According to the examiner there nre
upwards of thirty aliens living iu
Webster county holding declarations
of intention which will become worth
less within a very short time, unless
the holders make application for full
citizenship. These persons may,' by
applying to Miss Edith L. MeKeighanf
Clerk of the District Court at Red
Cloud, obtain free of eharge, full in
formation concerning the steps they
must take to become fully naturalized.
The cost of tiling application for final
certificate of citizenship is 84.00
The naturalization of foreigners is
in charge or the Bureau of Naturaliza
tion, Department of Labor. The ex
aminer sta es that the chief purpose of
the llureuu is to, insure the legal na
turalization of aliens of good moral
character who have lived, in the United
States more than Five years and are
desirable as citizens
It Is not necessary for a foreigner
desiring to becomoa citizen to employ
an attorney for this nurposo, ns the
services of the bureau of Natural za
tlon are at the disposal of the appli
cant without cost to him. For con
venience in the administration of .he
law, the entire United States is divided
Into districts, each of whioh is Under
the jurisdiction of a chief examiner
The state of Nebraska is iu the St.
Louis district. Communications re'la
to naturalization addressed to the
Chief Naturalization Examiner, Cus
tom House, St. Louis, Missouri, re
el caremi auenuon
who are expert in
teal Bute irttttfera.
