EUR0PE'S MILLION NOMADS

Geneva, Aug. 2S.-American
tourists are being flooded with ap-
peals of a peculiar nature as they
enter Switzerland this summer. The
appeals come from a Swiss society
headed by Rev. H. Ecuyer, whose
aim is to Christianize the million
gypsies with neither home nor
country who move across Europe ev-
cry year from east to west. Nowhere
are they wanted, everywhere are
they eyed askance, out still every
year they wander, and the authori-
ties of the countries they cross
dread their coming and are relieved
when they go. There is always
trouble at the frontiers. Here the
wanderers are stopped. questioned,
and often imprisoned as vagrants.
But there is nothing to do but final
ly let them go, and they invariably
return the next year.

whereby the young men will have a
proper physical education. 1t will
be run strictly on a moral basis, and
all young men sixteen and up can
Join the club. The entrance fees
are but 50 and while no amount has

small-just enough to pay inciden-

the club to have competent in
structor, possibly, Prof. Grundahl,
on all lines and give three after
moons a week to school boys and
three evenings a week to all over
sixteen to 81 and three evenings a
week to all over 21; thus the club
hopes in time to be a means of an

the young men take hold Of It and
push It.
The next meeting will be held on
Monday evening at 1880 in the club
room. All members are urged to be
present and all young men of the
city are requested to be present.
Come and swell this club until we
vii have a downstairs gymnasium.

Repasses Immigration Bill; Vote -
to 1s.-Ketention of Provision
Imposing Literacy Test.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The Bur
nett-Dillingham immigration bill, We
toed by President Taft because it i'm
posed literacy test upon immigrants
was passed over the Presidents veto
in the senate today by vote of 72
to IS. The overwhelming majority,
given at the end of a short debate IN
which President Taft's attitude was
vigorously attacked, has strengthened
the probability that the bill will be
passed over the veto in the house
when it is called up tomorrow.
Support of the Presidents position
was voiced by only few senator's dur
ing the debate. Senators Lodge and
Dillingham;, leading the fight to over
ride the. president, declared the meas
ure contained so many important pro-
visions for the exclusion of criminal,
diseased and insane aliens that great
harm would result to the United
States if it did MT become law.

A CRIME.

1t seems to us to be almost, If not
entirely, crime to have a good road,
such as Mr.. Feagle built between New
berry and Prosperity, go to the bad
for the lack of just a little attention.
Nobody seems to care. 1t would take
a very little time and labor to keep
this road in fine repair, and yet just
now it is full Of holes, and if not
given attention it will go from bad to
worse and soon it will not be consid-
cred a good road If the supervisor
would consent it would pay the auto
mobile owners to employ some one to
drag the road and fill up the holes.
Every afternoon it is used by the au-
tomobiles and it would serve sell
fish motive to pay for working the
road, because the cost to have the road
worked would be less than the addi-
tional wear on the machines by not
having it worked.

HOUSE PASSES PENSION BILL.
Largest Measure of Hind Ever Re
ported to Congress.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The largest
pension bill ever rcpoNed to congress,
carrying appropriations aggre eating
s18O,30O,O00, was passed by the house
today by vote of 219 to 40, with an
additional appropriation Of more than
s1,O0O,0O0.
A small number of democrats, led by
Representative Roddenberry, of Geor-
gia, made futile efforts to add amend
ments to bar from the pension rolls
veterans having incomes exceeding
$1,000 a year, and not entitled to pen
sions on account of wounds or dis
ability sustained in the military SER
vice.
AS reported by the committee, the
bill contained paragraph providing
that after July /, 1913, no pension
should be paid to a nonresident not
a. citizen of the United States, ex-
cept for actual disabilities inc RED
in the service. A motion by Represen-
tative Goode, of Iowa, to strike out
this paragraph was carried, 154 to
112, many democrats joining with the
solid republican minority in support
of the motion.
1t is estimated that something over
s1,O00,O00 is paid annually to veterans
who would have been barred by this
paragraph.
