The very purpose of the amendment is to do exactly what the junior Senator from New York desires to accomplislin other words. to hasten the work of naturalizationand the testimony all shows that that is being done. According to the letter the Senator has read. apparently they seem to think that only the Federal courts attend to this business now. That is not correct. The Supreme Court of the State of New York is dealing with the matter. just as it did under the old system. The only difference is that the naturalization officials. who are fairly familiar with the preparation of these papers. prepare the papers and file them with the clerks of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. just as they were filed before. and they are dealt with by the judges of the courts in New York just the same as before. In other words. both the State courts and the United States courts deal with the matter. The real vice of the old system was that when those papers were made up by the deputies of the county clerks they had to be then referred to the naturalization peopie. and they were found in many cases to be imperfectly filled out. The papers had to be gone over again and checked up. But now the men who are thoroughly familiar with the work. who are trained in it. make out. the papers in the first instance. and as they will make them out correctly. the papers do not have to be exunined again.
