An error has been discovered in the Immigration bill which, in so far as known, was made entirely unwittingly. The provisions of the bill are made to apply to all of the insular possessions of the United States, in- cluding the Philippines, Porto Rico, Hawaii, Guam, etc. Heretofore the immigration laws of these colonies have been enacted by the War depart ment or the local governments and enforced by them. Just what compli- cations the error will lead to is not yet known as the matter has been re- ferred to the Attorney General.

Our merchants complain that many of our citizens send away for mer- chandise that can be bought at home. It is a poor rule that will not work both ways.

It seems to be case of where a man thinks he can get the most for his money.

The early riser that goes about doing nothing better than boosting of how early he gets up in the morning is not of very great benefit to anybody. It all depends on what you do after you are out of bed. Better sleep all day than to get up at four o'clock to find fault with your neighbors. The fact is the world would be whole lot better of if some people never got up.
