When men bona-fide accept American citizenship their first duty is to the welfare of this country. That duty is higher than any ancient national grudge or inherited hatred they may have brought to our shores » We cannot afford an asylum to all the hatreds of Europe, nor permit each to organize war on our soil against enemies with’ whom this country is at peace. The law makes it a felony for a citizen tc accept, while within the jurisdiction of the United States, a military commission to serve any foreign Govern- ment against one with which we are at peace. It is also a felony to, for like purpose, enlist or procure en- listment. Foreigners transiently on our soil are not included in this. Our law further provides that if any person shall, within the territory or jurisdiction of the United States, whether citizen or alien, begin or | set on foot or prepare or provide the means for any military expedition or enterprise to be carried on from thence against the territory or dominions of any foreign prince or state, or of any colony, district or people. h whom the United States are at peace, person so offending shall be deemed guilty of meanor and shall be fined not exceeding nd dollars and imprisoned not exceeding be seen, then, that every feature of the pro- Canadian adventure is highly obnoxious, not to our treaties, which are the supreme law of the to our domestic statutes citizen, native and naturalized, comes within o these laws, and they apply to aliens who Those wful acts within our jurisdiction. who contemplate this movement, ii such there be, learly that instead of helping the Boers g Great Britain they will only harm them- and hurt the United States.

The resolutions are carefully drawn and decla:= | under a penalty of fine or imprisonment or both that “no corporation, firm, individual or _copartnership® operating, or which may hereafter operate, a tele- phone line, or render telephone service, within the | city and county of San Francjsco shall charge or re- | ceive any compensation for any telephone message or | communication in any instance before the telephone | number or party called for shall respond to the call of, or on behalf of, the person ordering the ser- PROTECTING THE 'PUBLIC. Y the action of the Board of Supervisors in vice. This resolution, taken in connection with the for mer order of the board imposing a fair license tax upon each nickel-in-the-slot telephone machine in the city, promises to be of great advantage to the com- munity. By them the public is assured first that the | service for which the telephone company is paid will be rendered. and second that the city will derive a revenue from the enormous profits which the tele- phone corporations derive from their monopoly of what has now become a public necessity. Thus this Board of Supervisors in the closing weeks of the term has added. another to the many | beneficial acts of local legislation which mark its record. It has once more demonstrated its fidelity to the campaign pledges of the majority of its members and to the true interests of the city. It has set an example which the incoming board will do well to emulate. Senator Morgan is having such a hard time in his fight for re-election that some of his friends say he is making his way back to office through a slough of political mud that reaches neck high.
