It is this: that the commonlaw right. the old feudal idea. that a man who is "raey of the soil" is always a citizen. has become more or less obsolete. This is manifeet by the progress of civilization and international law. as well as by the laws of all countries. including our own. So that now the question is not between a man who was born here and one who is naturalized here. for they are exactly in the same condition. and so far as our Gov. ernment and its faith aie concernel we are committed to the doctrine that a naturalized citizen is in the same troth and plight as one born here. We iuust love and comfort him the same. at home or abroad. His children are our children. his folk and kin are our folk and kin.
