Washington, Feb, 1.-THE Burnett
immigration bin prescribing a literacy
test for applicants 70 admission to the
United states, was passed by the house
this afternoon by a vote Of 2ll to 1926.
All proposed amendments relating to
the exclusion Of Asiatic immigrants

Az the BIN passed, it provides that
every immigrant admitted to the
United states must be able TO read
"the English language or some other
language ol dialect including Hebrew
or Yiddish' 10 prcscribes that each
applicant for admission must read a
slip on which is printed between thirty

IN its present form this measure
passed the house and the senate i'm
The last congress. but was vetoed by
President Taft. A similar bin was vc-
toed during President Cleveland's sec
ond administration. supporters Of tho
bill are confident that II will again
pass the senate although President
Wilson has let it be known that he
does not approve the literaey test.
Opponents Of the Iiteracy test fought
desperately to the last, but on final
effort to eliminate the test from the
bin they We're defeated, 40 to 239.
The final vote came ut the end OF a
day Of vigorous debate. which on sew
eral occasions. threatened to cause
serious trouble.
Representative Burnett, of Alabama,
IN charge Of the bin, tried TO hurry
the debate and frequently moved 70

The Bill provides for denial Of the

Senator hitchcock said the measure
wos an attempt to take from the states

asserted the wording Of the bill would
give the postmaster general absolute

As TO PREPAREDNESS

The United States is spending a
quarter OF a billion dollars. annually
on her military establishment and
judging by the object lessons of the
foreign war, she's wasting a very
large part of that vast sum.
She has a stable navy with first
class men behind the guns.-but we
see the combined British and French
navies practically muzzled.
Her artillery service is compare
lively weak.-but we see those for
eign battles largely fought by artillery.
Her Notifications. particularly the
coast defenses. are pretty largely a
joke. But we see the so-called i'm
pregnable fortihcations at Liege. Ma
muir and Antwerp speedily turned up
side down by a new Krupp gun.
AS to submarines and air craft, we
stand way down in the list.-and
these are shown TO be OF the highest
importance in the European conflict.
If Uncle Sam has got to defend the
Monroe doctrine against dangerous
demands of the victor in the foreign
struggle and if he should be prepared
for self-defense at any time. it would
seem wise in him 10 make some radi-
cal changes in the expenditure of his
quarter of a billion. He may have
the men and have the money but it is
being demonstrated that in war. as
everything else, quality counts fully as
much as quantity.
In just one particular-his new big
guns-Wilhelm is giving a tremendous
demonstration of this. Mines. sub
marines, big guns and air craft are
knocking all the theories as TO pre-
paredness galley west and making
Uncle Sans ways of spending his
money appear TO be antiquated.
1t is not a matter Of more money
but OF getting what you pay for.
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1914-11-19
AN OLD. OLD THEORY.

a business. big or little, has right
to live. no matter how profitable.
says a New York paper.
This idea Is not a new one. It
originated back among the cave
dweIlers and youIl find it a favorite
doctrine, today. among the barbarians
Of Central Africa as we'll as in New
York city.
Proht-that's the thing. that's the
justification. regardless of effects on
the present generation OF on posterity.
And the bigger the business and the
profit. the more elastic the justifica-
ton.
Why is it that the fellow who dyna-
mites a bank safe gets % years in
prison, with neatness and dispatch,
while the fellow who steals the bank
entire gets a short term. and that
usually curtailed by pardon? It's be
cause one is little fellow in little
business and the other a big fellow in
big business.
But. the theory that the public is
not concerned in the profits OF the
little OF big business is about played
out. 1t is seen that big profits are
simply public tribute. Indeed. in
most of our own states there is al
ready law against big profits. i'm re-
spect 10 the legal rate of interest for
instance. and the trend of popular
sentiment is strongly toward further
legislation along this line. Muck
rakers. visionary reformers and rabid
economists are not responsible for
this trend AbnOrmally profitable
business is. and it must curb its
frenzy if il would continue 10 live.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

ter. The loss of life is serious, Of
course, but as a world problem it is
not so threatening as it seems at close
range. The population of the world
is gaining in number every day re
gardless of the inrOads that are being
made on the battle fields of Europe.
Scientists estimate the total number
OF people on earth is 1900, 900, 200. 1t
is estimated that there is a daily
birth rate of 100000. and that nor
mally 10000 die each "a hours. A
margin Of 40, 900 increase exists. That
much more than covers the losses in
the armies of Europe and elsewhere.
While the battle losses on some days
may exceed 10000 there are only few
such days and many others when the
population of the world is increasing
despite the activity Of the war god.
The world is a large place after all.
The tragedy being enacted between
the world forces Of Europe and Asia
is only an incident in the history of
the race. Its significance is not 50
much in the number Of those killed
as in the quality. The young and
virile men of some Of the worlds best
stock are being sacrificed. Much Of
the 10000 gain in population the
world is making each day is among
the least civilized and efficient Of man
kind. The war, therefore, is lowering
the general average of human quail
ity more seriously than il is affecting
quantity-Terre Haute Star.
