RECEPTION AT
SCHOOL OCT. 2
Get Acquainted Bee Planned
for Friday Evening-In-
vitation to All.

Upon the theory that much of the
success of the Grangeville schools de-
ponds upon an acquaintanceship be-
tween the patrons Of the schools and
the members OF the faculty and with
a view of assuring the fullest extent
Of cooperation between these two fac
tors in the community q public recep-
ton to the faculty Of the local schools
has been planned for next Friday eve
ming, October 2, In the new school
building. The event has been planned
by the ladies' of the st. Agnes Guild of
Trinity church who will be in charge
during the evening.
1t is pointed out by the public spirit
ed citizens who have inaugurated this
highly laudable idea that out of the
fourteen or fifteen members of the
faculty at the school at least seven are
strangers in the city and have had no
opportunity to meet our people and be-
come acquainted with everybody in
the city and surrounding country.
There Is to be no formal program, ac-
cording to present arrangements, and
all who attend-and that should include
all who are interested in any way in
the school-wil be assured of an eve
ming Of genuine enjoyment and profit,
for the promoters will see to 1t that
the greatest possible good to the teach
ers, the parents and the children will
come of this meeting.
All the departments of the schools
work, and particularly the new branches
added this year, will be Informally ex-
planned by the teachers and instructors
and every school patron in the district
should feel II his or her duty to take
advantage of this opportunity to get in
closer touch with the actual conditions
at the school and the mission the fac
ulty and the students are trying to full
fill
There are to be no special invitations
issued and everybody In the communi-
ty should attend and share in the wei
come to be extended.

LIIERACY TEST
BELIEVED TO BE
A DEAD ISSUE
Over Veto of Presi-
dent Is Not Believed To
Be Likely Action
By C. S. ALBERT.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March So
The application OF the literacy test to
Immigrants may be regarded as a dead
proposition unless both branches of
Congress pass the pending bill over
the veto CT President Wilson. There
are sufficient votes to make that
course possible, but party expediency
probably viii prevent such drastic &C
tion.
The president sought to be- extreme
ly gentle in handling the literacy test.
tie implored members of the senate
committee on immigration to modify
the literacy test, or eliminate it, but
with no degree of success. The meas
ure was reported to the senate with
the provision exactly as passed by the
house. s
Finding pleading and persuasion Of
no avail the president sent Secretary
Wilson as a special emissary to Sena-
tor Smith of South Carolina, chairman
cf the immigration committee The
secretary made 1t perfectly plain to
The senator that President Wilson
would veto the immigration bill, when
presented to him, If 1t contained the
literacy test alcng the present lines.
The matter was discussed at length.
No possibility of doubt was left in the
mind of Mr.. Smith as to what course
would be followed by the president
when the Objectionable measure came
before him for approval
As the situation stands it seems GER
tain the president will have to exer-
else his veto power on the immigra-
ton bill There is no doubt what
ever but that the senate will concur
in the house literacy test provision
and leave ii in the bin when passed
and sent to the president There is
no chance Of its rejection or modifica-
tion by the senate unless the president
can exert sufficient influence to ac-
compliSh that unexpected result. A
large proportion of senators predict
the retention of the obnoxious clause.
Senator O'Gorman is almost alone in
declaring that the paragraph will be
eliminated when action is taken in the
senate
There is much speculation as to
whether the immigration bill will be
