President. It Is not a question of calling It up now. There is a mass of these bills for Individual cases of naturalization. and if we enter upon the business of passing bills to naturalize individuals. there will simply be a flood of such measures. and there will be no end to them. The number of individual cases of supposed or real or fancied hardships that will be brought before Congress will be without number. we shall have one bill after another to naturalize some man who. properly or improperly. has been exercising the rights of a citizen without having been naturalized. We ought not to think of dealing with these cases. except by general legislation. There Is a bill. which has been carefully prepared by the Senator from Idaho. and which has been reported here. that covers all these cases. as far as possible. to give individuals in cases where there has been hardship or error and no fault. an opportunity to get proper redress and restoration before the courts. but if we enter upon individual cases.
