The Illiteracy Test.
I'M the Pittsburgh Post.

From the Pittsburgh Post.
According to carefully compiled sta
tistics, the highest percentage of illit-
eracy among European nations is in
Russia, Austro-Hungary and Italy. Tha,
the original bill is aimed against immi-
grafton from these countries, designed
to bar out these "undesirables," is ap-
parent The Presidents opposition to
the bill is worthy of more than -ordi-
nary consideration in view of the facts
Inasmuch as most of the unskilled
labor which the country needs is re-
cruited from among these illiterate
races, the literacy test is objected to on
economic grounds. Manifestly the coun-
try cannot get along without this clas
of labor, and to exclude this immigra- :
tion would, it is believed, be detri-
mental to it's growth and development
1t is pointed out that the children OF
these immigrants, thanks to our public
school system, become literates, so that
the disadvantages of illiteracy are over
come in a succeeding generation. Even
though the parents cannot read and
write, they are valuable citizens be-
cause they are physically strong and
naturally industrious. What Congress
should do is to pass an act which shall
exclude the physically unfit. vicious
and criminal class of immigrants. These
cannot be reached by literacy test.

Charity and War.

In one respect the sorrow that is
generally felt for the failure of the
principles of Christianity in the great
European conflict Is lightened by the
remarkable manifestation of charity TO-
ward the sufferers of the war Almost
from the outset of the contest the peo-
pie OF this country have been giving in
generous measure for the relief of the
sufferings caused by the war They he
gan to. give Immediately to the Red
Cross for the organization of hospital
units to supplement the various national
services in attending the sick and
wounded of the lighting ranks. AS soon
as the var wave swept into Belgium
and the people of that unhappy country
were stricken with privation American
bounty began to flow freely. and TODAY
nationwide organization is at work
stimulating and directing the gifts for
the practical rescue of these non-com.
batant sufferers.
AS never before in history the Chris.
tian spirit is being manifested practi-
cally to alleviate the distress of a ma
ton stricken by war. Yet the condi-
tion is not unique. Heretofore whole
peoples have been ravaged by the sweeu
of armies, their homes DESTROYED. tbeir
farms devastated and their s,1pplies
confiscated and yet until now there has
been no outflow of charity from anothar.
nation for their rescue This is the
one bright spot in the dark skies that

| remarkable manifestation of American
generosity. In the years to come il

present time the gifts of money and

The Civic Christmas Tree.

That the idea of a community Christ
mas tree celebration meets the desires
Of the public and expresses the civic
sentiment was well attested last even
ing by the large attendance on the
Capitol plaza. where for the second
time great tree was erected, tableaux
were presented and chorals were rem
dered The snowstorm, which lasted
practically all day, undoubtedly af-
fected the crowd somewhat, but not
withstanding the conditions the plaza
was filled and the program was rem
dered faithfully without hitch or omis-
sion. The scene was exceptionally
beautiful. the snow adding to the ef-
fectiveness of the tree rather than de-
tracing.
There is no measuring the good in
fuence of such an observance Of Christ
mas eve. 1t unquestionably brings the
public mind back directly to the
thought that this is d great religious
rather than a social festival, that il
commentaries the birth of Christ, how =
ever it may have been commercial lized
and changed in aspect of it's popular
recognition through the making OF
gifts. The thousands who attended on
the plaza last evening were deeply i'm
pressed with the Significance of the
occasion. The story of Christ's birth
was told to them in song and living
pictures. with cleaning star at the
top OF the great tree to symbolic the
birth at Bethlehem. and with the i'm
mortal sentiment of peace and good
viii blazing from the facade of the
Capitol.
Washington's thanks are due to those
who for the second time have planned
and executed this civic Christmas cele-
bration. They have conferred bless
ing upon the city, the full effect OF
which may not he directly appreciated
but which is undoubtedly of far-reach.

tional defense, .or want of it. Today
talked about as any other Not only
on the seacoast, but in the interior OF
the country. interest in the subject is
pronounced. Landlubbers share with
old salts in the anxiety as to what
would happen If affairs should take
sudden turn forcing us into some sort
of active connection with the war.
1t Is the war that makes everything
uncertain as to our immediate political
future. Everybody hopes we may es-
cape embodiment Everybody will sup
port policies well intended to keep US
out of the awful turmoil. But If, de-
spite everything done with that OBJECT
in view, this country is drawn into the
vortex, and the seething continues for
some time, situation will develop
which, while it lasts, will throw every
thing else into the shade. The tarlh.
the trusts, prohibition, and all the rest
of it as now disclosed, may be forced
into the background to make way Tor
something new and pressing.
In such an event the President would
have both an advantage and a peril.
His advantage would be in his position
as mander in chief of the army ana
navy. Matters would be managed In
his name. He would be entitled to gen
eral support. Domestic divisions "ouio
cease for the time. None "ouio DC LUZ
party, but all for the state
His peril would be in the great re-
sponsibility. If matters were misn'an-
aged. and heavy losses of any KIND 1ol-
lowed, he would pay the penalty at the
polls And the very best OF manage
ment would be necessary in situa-
ton so unprecedented. We have had
