When the Republican Speaker and MAORI.
W Oh the House formulated, adopted and
proceeded to enforce the new House rules,
tne Republican party Of the whole country
applauded their action.
Why? Because they dared to do right
they had the courage and backbone to say
to the minority obstructionists that the ma
1ority, responsible for the legislation de-
manded and expected. should not be deleat-
ed, and the wheels of legislation should not
be blocked, by the partisan minority that
had declared its purpose through Roger Y:
Mills to control the House the same as IL
would If it were the majority"
Had the same wise course been pursued In
the Senate, the Republican party of the
whole country would have applauded the
action of that body just as heartily, and the
course and progress Of legislation would
have been far more satisfactory than 1t has
been up to the present time.

the law has failed to very large extent tC
keep out the Persons whom 1t was designed
to keep out, while 1t has sometimes beer
very effective in excluding persons Congress
when it enacted the law had not the faintest
notion Of excluding. The amendments
offered to the law make 1t unlawful for an
alien to enter the United states under any
contract TO perform labor or service. A
master of any vessel, who may bring intt
the United States on any vessel, or who shall
land or permit to be landed from his vessel
any alien who. previous to embarking, had
entered into contract to perform labor In
the United States, shall. besides being deem
ed guilty and subject to fine and imprison
ment, be required to return the alien to the
port of embarkatien. 1t is also declared to
be unlawful for any person or corporation to
encourage any alien laborer, mechanic OF
artisan to emigrate from any foreign country
to the United States by promise of employ
ment, through advertisement or otherwise.
Any lalien thus encouraged to emigrate is
not to be permitted to remain In the United
states. Nothing in the act is to operate to
prevent any foreign citizen, temporarily liy-
ing In the United States, in a private or off,
cial capacity, from engaging, under contract
or otherwise, persons, not residents of the
United States, to act as private secretarIes
or household domestcs for such foreigner.

The Supreme Court of North Dakota has
declared the prohibitory law Of North Dako-

that 1t is an attempted regulation
of Interstate commerce. inasmuch as
1t forbids the sale of liquor in the original
packages. Though the court holds that it is
perfectly competent for the state legislature
to enact such law now, that was not the
case when the law was enacted, because
Congress had not then granted the necessary
permission. Hence the law is void. The
success Of the liquor men will be short lived,

Gems of Thought.

If thou art wise, thou knowest
thine own ignorance, and thou art ig-
norant if thou knowest not thyself.
There is nothing in the universe
that | fear except that [ may not
know all my duty, or may fail to do
it.
We do not become righteous by
doing what is righteous, but having
became righteous we do what is
righteous.
1t is a mistake to suppose that men
succeed through success; they much
oftener succeed through failure.
AS God has made it our duty to do
good to others, so He takes care in
His providence to furnish us with OPP
portunities for it.
Certainly in taking revenge a man
is but even with his enemy; but, in
passing it over, he is superior, for it
is princes part to pardon.
To return good for good is human
to return evil for evil is brutal; to
return evil for good is diabolical;
but to return good for evil is Divine.
