HINDU EXCLUSION
IS TOPIC OF TALK
STATE UNIVERSITY MAN HAS
PREPARED INTERESTING
ARTICLE.

Iowa City, July 29.-Exclusion Of the
Hindus from America Is the subject
of an interesting article by DR.. Sud
hindra Bose, of the department OF
political science at the state un:vers
ity of Iowa, in the current number OF
the Modern Review" the leading
English journal of India. In this arti
Gle DR.. Bose explains to his country.
men that the agitation against the
Hindus Is largely the work Of the Pa.
cific coast labor unions, and that the
people of the United States as whole,
are we'll disposed towards the East
Indians.
Americans have shown every cour-
tesy to our distinguished travellers
from India" DR.. Bose writes. They
have accorded our students in their
universities every facility enjoyed by
their own students, and they have ma
terially aided in many good cause In
India"
The proposed Hindu exclusion law
has aroused much heated discussion
in India. Some of the nationalist
papers have even urged the Indian
government to adopt retaliatory meas
! ures, and they are calling on the peo'
pie to boycott American goods
DR.. Bose shows in his article that
there are less than 5000 Hindus IN the
whole of continental America. They
do not cut down the wages OF the
American workmen. THE H1ndus
may bring with them lower stand
ard of living, but" he contends, their
unceasing desire to improve their con-
dition forces them to raise that stand
ard to the level Of their new American
surroundings"
DR.. Bose also maintains that the
Aryan Hindus can be assimilated into
our American population inasmuch as
assimilation means understanding
and sympathy with American ideals.
He declares that since the Hindu
immigration is declining Of itself, an
exclusion law is therefore wholly I'M
necessary The Hindu laborers, IN
the opinion of Dr. Bose, should not be
excluded by harsh legislation. but 1T
could be excluded or restricted by
diplomatic arrangement between the
United States and the government OF
India

All Successful
Business Men Are
Bargain Hunters

The women are not the only ones
who try to get the most for their
money. Sometimes the man who
speaks of the woman who reads adver
tisements az a bargain hunter" Is as
good bargain hunter as the party he
Is talking about.
II he is a successful man it Is safe
to assume that he has all his life been
a bargain hunter.
The man who looks around to get
terest Is bargain hunter.
The business man who goes to mar
ket and spends his time and effort
and money in searching for bargains
for his store is bargain hunter.
The man who wants to buy a piece
Of land for less than it Is worth is a
bargain hunter.
The woman who reads an advertise.
ment is seeking to avail herself of the
bargains that the merchant is able to
give to his customers, because he
hunted and found the bargains in buy
ing from the jobber or manufacturer.
Ottumwa has in all lines of bust
ness, merchants who are bargain hunt
ers. They put in a great deal Of time
and effort seeking bargains for their
stores so that they can in turn give
their customers the benefit Of those
bargains.
The big stores and stocks to be
found in Ottumwa's retail business are
due to the fact that the Ottumwa mer-
chants are successful bargain hunt
ers. The Ottumwa merchants not
only hunt for bargains but find them,
and they bring them to Ottumwa and
offer them to their people and these
bargains attract the attention of shop
pers for miles and miles around Of
tumwa.
The fact that Ottumwa's merchants
are successful bargain hunters Is the
very factor that has built Ottumwa's
big retail businesses. Men as well as
women in all southern Iowa and north
ern Missouri know that they can find
bargains in the retail stores in Ottum-
wa. The people in this section Of the
country have come to realize that Of
tumwa's great retail institutions are
the places where men and women can
hunt for bargains and find them. And
the fact that men as we'll as women
are bargain hunters Is what has made
these conditions.
