tuge, The Omaha Bee says:
THOSE who attempt to justify the
llteFacy test from the standpoint
OF principle are undertaking more

measure care to. Senator Dillinr-
nam, one of the chief opponents.
according to The New York Times.
frankly admits that ut is merely
an eXpedient to reduce the volume
OF those who come to the United
states from undesirable countries, ;
In other words, defense Of the
admittedly unfair and inaccurate
TEST IS attempted by playing on
race prejudice and passions,
which is sufficient of itself to con-
denim the measure which three
presidents have now refused to
sanction. 1t is not n part of the
mission of America to set up lines
OF false distinction between tho
peoples Of Europe. Not vet has
any n given a satisfactory dcf-
milton Of "undeSirable' in this
connection.
The Forum is rather inclined to be-
lleve that The Bee is right in this con
clusion, although there are thousands
or honest Americans who sincerely
believe that the nation should put IN
tlls bar to the 'hordes from southern
Europe Undoubtedly italy, Turkey

lave sent over much OF the worst ele-
ment to be found in American life to-
day. The blackhanders Of the cities

a constant atmosphere of the bla
crime, arc a type that has come ex-
ciusiVely from the south Of Eurone
AND yet would it be fair. would it be
American, to bar thousands Of honest
earnest souls who are trying to bet
Ter thelr condition, in order to kcer
this criminal element?
Much of the strength back Of the de-
for a literacy test comes from
the churches. For years the danger
from cities filled with this rimina
class has been pointed out, and MANY
church people sincerely believe that il
would be to the best interests Of the
nation TO put up this bar.
Admitting that America would he
better off without the criminal ele-
ment from southern Europe. it seems
to The Forum that some better and
tairer way can be found than +hro,,gh

VALUABLE INFORMATION,

The Forum has arranged for a series
Of short articles from Secretary Cush-
Ing Of the state railroad commission
dealing with the state laws that reg
ulate railroad traffic in North Dakota.
This information will be Of great prac-
tical value to the travelling public as
1t will show what rights people have
while travelling. and what tho railroads
are compelled to do for the safety and
convenience Of their patrons in this
state.
The first OF the series will be found
on his page and others will follow Oh
The same page from day to day.
The Forum is Of the opinion that
The public does not fully realize the
Importance Of dealing with the rail-
roads through the state railroad COM
mission. The state has provided the
commission exactly for that purpose
and has clothed the commissioners
With large powers. 1t has provided
state laws that the roads must respect
and obey, all this for the benefit Of the
public and in justice and fairness to
the roads.
A wider knowledge of the powers Of
the commission, and the laws Of the
state should work for a better UNDER
standing between the railroads and the
people. Generally when a man has a
grievance he writes to some official of
The railroad, or to the head office OF
he road. Often such a course means
veNatious delay and an Indifferent set
Element.
If the public would take up it's
grievances directly with the commits
sion it would undoubtedly get promp-
ter n more satisfactory adjustments.
The commission has the power TO en-
force its orders and it is always ready
TO AXE up my matter that is present.
I'd to 1t.

stone. 1t Is doubtless true that MI.
Tumulty prevents a good deal or this
sort of stuff from ever bothering the
president. If he does not, he doesn't
do his duty.
Having thus given our opinion of
this latest Catholic plot" we are
| bound to add a. word about the great
mischief which is done whenever the
Catholic church, or anybody protesting
to speak for it, does try to exert the
influence Of Catholics as a unit in any
election having to do with general
political questions and results. We do
not say this because we dislike the
Catholic church in politics more than
any other church. If it were a ques-
ton Of the Baptists voting n ticket
same about it.. In President Grants
time it used to be said that the Meth
odists voted for him as one man, and
that Methodist bishops owned the
White House. This was a responsible
ity which they might well have dis
claimed! IF the Presbyterians were
to rally unitedly to the support of
President Wilson merely because he is
a Presbyterian, it would be as objec-
LIOlldDlS DIS IL tdIllUllcS were SO TO act,
Possibly, the latter are more tempted
to make themselves felt as a political
unit-or politicians are more inclined
to seek their ~aid-owing to the fact
That their communications are, as a
class, more subject to ecclesiastical
control than are members of most
other churches. In any case, the thing
Is bad, and should nave no place in
our public life. The very doubt that
it may exist works to the prejudice of
a candidate for office, as we'll as
sometimes to his advantage. 1t has
been freely said, for example, that
Governor Glynn feels hat the fact
that he is a Catholic would be hurt
tul to him if he were to be nominated
Tor reelection. 1t ought to count
neither for nor against him. And the
Catholic authorities ought v~igilantlv
to see TO it that, both in the inter
ests Of their own church, and for the
sax of Catholics who are public men.

Why They Fight BurIeson.

Kansas City Star: The attack on
