AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

The question of restricting immigra-
ton will again agitate the people of this
| country, for the reports for the fiscal
year from the immigration bureau show
| the largest number of arrivals since the
year 1892. during which year the figures
went beyond the 800, 900 mark. The i'm
migration movement is in exact proper
ton with the financial and Industrial
condition of the country When the peo-
pie are prosperous emigrantS come here
from all parts of the world and when
times are hard the immigration falls off
It is true that our laws are more
stringent than they once were and our
inspection system has been constantly
improving but nevertheless we are get
ting a large number of undesirable peo-
pie into the country because our laws
are not as strict as they should be. The
report of the commissioner shows that
one-third of the enormous immigration
of the past fiscal year was made up of
illiterate persons. 1t is almost impossi-
Bile to instruct an illiterate foreigner and
the expense of education is greatly in
creased by this quality of immigration.
This country can not afford to allow
its political destinies to be entrusted to
men who can not read or write. In a
republic education is absolutely essential
l AOr SOOQ anu the DAY Will
come when literacy will be necessary for
/ the franchise.
A law restricting foreign immigration
to those who can read and write should
be passed by the next congress. There is
| enough trouble in this country from fg-
norance without accepting all the scum
of the world to make it worse.
Besides the question of literacy the i'm
migrant should be required to have
enough money to support himself at
least three months. but the report shows
that the average immigrant has less
than $40. The German immigrant is ex-
cepted in both cases, but the Germans
have quit coming at the rate they form
erly did and the great majority of the

Permission Asked to Present Him

Chicago, Aug. 1911. c. Griener,
postmaster of the Chicago Lawn sub
station, yesterday requested the COM
mittee in charge of the coming G. A. r.
encampment to allow him to present
President Mckinley with historic bat
tie flag from the reviewing stand the
day of the great parade. The flag was
presented to Mr.. Griener by Mrs Phil
Sheridan, and was made by General
Sheridan's mother. The request will be
considered by the committee.

SWEETS OF MARRIED LIFE.
Sad Experience of Bald Husband
Who Used Molasses to Catch Flies.


Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug ia week
ago Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold Smith of this
city went to Lake Winona. where in a tent
they camped along the shores and enjoy
ed life. Mr. Smith is bald, and the
humid weather of the past few days
drove many flies into the tent They
saw Mr.. Smiths tender spot, and did
their duty On Monday night they
head that he could not sleep. Being a
man of ideas, he poured cupful of mo-
lasses on a palm leaf fan, put it close
to his head, and slept peacefully, the
flies going for the molasSes and leaving
him alone. All went we'll until day
break, when his wife. rather restless,
turned over. The next moment piercing
shrieks awoke Mr.. Smith. He saw his
wife tearing around, choking and sput-
tering, and with the fan, molasses, her
face, and hair all mixed up When he
extricated her she vented her anger
him, left the tent and came to this city
and had a warrant sworn out for him
for assault. This morning he was taken
before Alderman Donohue. His wife ac-
cused him of trying to smother her. He
told his story meekly. The alderman
said something about the sweets of
married life and sent them home.

USE OF THE FIRE BELL.

The question of the fire bell is one of
perhaps more Importance than most peo-
pie appreciate.
The question will come up before long
before the city council for discussion.
The Topeka fire department needs the
fire bell The people wish it. The ar
gument that the ringing of the bell at
tracts crowd is offset by the fact that
if the bell is not rung the neighborhood
to the fire furnishes a crowd just the
same. Careful people watch for the fire
engines when they hear the bell ring.
Careless people will be careless, bell or
no bell.
The doing away with the fire bell will
work hardship upon Chief Wilmarth and
his men. The chief has many duties to
demand his attention in all parts of town
besides fires. If he is away from head
quarters inspecting a building and hears
the fire bell ring he knows where to go.
Without the fire bell he would have no
means of knowing anything about fires
when he was away from the stations
The men are on duty "a hours in the
day. They get a half day off once in nine
days. They go to their meals but if a
fire occurs while they are off at meal
time they hear the bell and know where
to go and respond to the alarm if nee
essary. If they wish to leave the station
for short time on business they are al
lowed to do 50 and if there is an alarm
during their absence they are cognizant
of the fact by the ringing of the bell
and they go at once to the fire. With the
bell the companies are able to exercise
their horses and go to the blacksmith
and wagon shops and be aware of
alarms without loss of time with the fire
bell in use
The fire department will be seriously
handicapped without the fire bell.

SILENCE OF THOMAS B. REED.

Early in June it was announced in the
Associated Press dispatches that ex-
Speaker Thomas B. Reed would not be
invited by the Republican national COM
mittee to take the stump this fall for
President Mckinley.
1t was stated at the time that Mr..
Reeds sarcasm has made several well
known party leaders in New York weary
and that his filings at the president were
doing more harm than all the Demo
cratic speakers put together
Another paper, high up in admlnlstra-
ton circles, gave it out that the man
from Maine was on Mr. HannaS -DiacA
list" For just what reason Is not stateu.
1t should be remembered that Mr. seea
has a long memory and has "black
list" of his own and high up at the top
of the column is -emblazoned the name
of the senator from Ohio, Marcus A
Hanna
The ex-speaker can not forget that
four wears ago none were so active IN
fighting his presidential boom as the
cannaign head of the present admins
tration.
Perhaps this is one of the strongest
reasons why Mr.. Reed will not stump
Maine this fall for the Republican ticket
If will be the first time in twenty years
that he has failed to uplift his voice on
his native heath prior to November cleo
lions. -
1t is pertinent also toquestion whether
the ex-speaker is under any Obligations
to herald publicly from the stump the
very political doctrines which ne Is
known to disavow.
The air is charged with talk OF Co
Ionial possessions and expansion ms
appearance in the campaign would give
aid to the administration which mas trl-
unphed over him, even though ne shoui0
avoid the topic of imperialism

party as his party has done LOT nm

INGALLS, LAST VISIT IN TOPEKA

John ]. Ingalls, death recalls the last
time he visited Topeka in a public ca
pacity. 1t was on Labor Day, several
years ago. and he was scheduled for a
speech at Garfield park in the afternoon.
Kansas most famous statesman-for
John J. ingalls, was Kansas most ia
nous Statesman-arrived over the Santa
F'e from his home in Atchison. 1t was
known just what hour ne would reach
here, but Notwithstanding, there was
not even a committee of one to meet him
at the station. He boarded an electric
car and rode to the Copeland hotel He
passed along Kansas avenue as the La
Dor Day parade was in progress, and al
though many caught a glimpse of the
familiar face, the remark of There goes
John J. Ingalls, was as much recogni-
ton as he received.
On previous visits during the time he
represented Kansas in congress and pre-
sided over the United States senate, his
arrival had been the signal for a demon
stration and he had been escorted along
the streets of Topeka in a way BETTING
the most prominent citizen of the state
But his last visit was after he had
disappeared from public life and his re
cept1on was a commentary on fame
John j. ingalls,, the citizen, was allowed
to arrive unobserved and find his hotel
as best he might, while John J. Ingalls,
the senator, had been met with the
crash OF bands and the welcome of a
thousand voices, and paraded in state
along the streets of the capital of the
state he represented.
His last reception here was a slight.
He felt it keenly, and never returned to
Iopeka on public business. The euIog-
les which those who knew him in To-
peka may deliver now can never atone
for the hurt that was inflicted then.

SALOON ON WHEELS.
Thirsty Persons Protect it From al

Cleveland, O.. Aug. 1s.-A saloon on
wheels shocked the residents of the
hamlet of Rockport beyond expression
yesterday. Early in the morning a large
moving van, fitted up as a saloon and
stocked with beer and whisky, stopped
at the roadside near the PuritaS Springs
temperance picnic grounds.
The tailboard of the wagon was let
down as a bar and a rushing business
done from the start. The hamlet mar
shall attempted to raid the novel saloon,
but the drinkers kept him and his as
sitants from getting near enough to do
anything. Then the barkeeper drove
calmly over the hills to the lake.
