Alone Among Nations.
II fail to understand why IL is that
the United States alone among nations
is not thought TO have the right that
all nations have to say who shall come
within its borders" said Senator Lodge.
1T is the only country in the world
where IL is argued that people born in
other countries who never have seen
the United states. are entitled TO GER
tain rights therein.
1T is for the citizens OF the United
states TO say who shall come into their
country. That is primary right.
Still less do I understand this ex-
treme opposition 10 requiring that q
man shall be able to read before he
enters the United States We don't
dioW man 10 become part of our
body polite unless he can read and
write his name.
we don't hesitate to apply a lite
racy test 10 our own people. Why is
IT we should hesitate to apply it TO a
foreigner?
The opposition to this test is at
bottom the same opposition that is
made to every effort to improve our
Immigration laws or to restrict in any
nf ir,,r
comes from the steamship companies.
For twenty-five years we have met
that opposition at every turn. 1t is
here to-day"

wanted nothing to enter MO the text
of .,se' bill that would in any way de-
lsy itsapaSsage. He said the bill had
already passed the Senate and that its
course through the House should not
be impeded by the addition of an
amendment. The senator asked Mr..
lobe whether he would support an
other bill incluI ng all of Miller coun-
ty. Mr.. lobe said he wanted the
matter covered entirely by one mess
ure and claimed that unless the pro-
visions were made to cover the en-
tire county it would be possible to in
corporate a email community known
as Bad Lands across the river from
NJ Her county, in Hampstead county
which would enable persons to buy
liquor with ease.
J. D. Head of TeNsrkana was the
leader of those opposed 10 the bill.

favoring license and these were in
terrogated. They were S. L. Raines
and George Ledbetter, BARRIERS; S. Il.
Lee and T. H. Davis, carpenters; G.

Mayor Kline was one OF the most
vigorous opponents of the bill VINO
a nneared before the committee. He
said that liquor shipments into Tex
arkana were large each day and that
during THE hol day seasons they to-
tailed as much as two carloads each
day.
The trend of practically all OF the
onposition talks made before the COM
mittea denounced the bill as one
striking "a. local self-government. the
opponents of the measure declare
| +h,et interference wit hthe rights OF
the people of Texarkana and Miller
county to settle the liquor quest on
for themselves was unwarramed ana
should he resented. The people, the
sneakers declared, were perfectly able
to take care of themselves and their
community and that IAN appeal TO the
LEGISLATURE VIA: not a proper method
of handling the question.
Al the conclusion of the hearing the
! committee went into executive ses-
sion.

Juror Tells OF
ACCEPTING BRIDE
Clarence barrow Goes On
Trial at Les An

During the course of the SESSION
Robert Pin, Mcnamara juror,
.swore to have been bribed by Bert H.
Franklin, who represented himself as
an agent Of barrow, and a teller from
a local bank testified to having fur
nished Franklin with currency on Oc-
tober 6, 1011, he day of the br berry.
The failure of the state, however,
to show through Fins testimony
that there was definite agreement
between himself and Franklin slaat

caused him to go into the jury box
with a determ nation to vote mot
guilty. regardless of the evidence,
was considered the most importa MT
point in favor of the defense by OAR
row and his attorneys.
Balm also testified that Franklin
told him there was br berry on both
sides and there would be- others in the
same boat with him. On cross ex-
animation Earle Itogers, Darrow's
Chief counsel, asked Balm
did you ever tell him (Franklin)
you would do anything for that mon

II don't know. Franklin insisted
and l took it.
Balm stated That the $400 was paid
him in $40 bills. When the, bank
teller, George C. Young, was called

nation of the bills ne gave Franklin.
He sad he could not remember. In
the first Darrow trial Young sestifi-
ed the bills were not twenties.
In the opening statement of the
prosecution Assistant District Attor-
ney Ford outlined the states case
against barrow and from tn S it is
apparent that the testimony will be
much the same as in the first jury
bribing case in which barrow was
acquitted.
The case was adjourned until Mon
day afternoon when Mrs. Balm, wife
of the self confessed br bed Nc
Namara juror, will go on the stand
and tell how she. helped Influence her
