their circulation the rates are lower than
practically all other high grade farm

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia. Feb. ITO the
Editor OF The Bee: The article OF F. b.
Houseman to my mind demands an
answer. 1t is poor argument to cc&
names. but the salient features OF the
defunct immigration BILL can, think, be
discussed fairly.
The literacy test Is not a test of
character. It is true, but Il would assure
the government that aliens desiring our
franchise would be educated enough 10
read and become cognizant of our laws
and institutions.
The bill passed the lower house of con-
gress By a two-thirds majority. The
senate by 50 to vote. The democratic
vote for the bill was 1se. against 1t 1o1. a
clear majority in the party OF sixty-five
votes. Should any president have power
to veto any measure when tho vote of
our representatives. which reflects the
sentiment Of their constituents was over
whelming in favor of fits passage?
To my mind representative government
has been dealt a severe blow. Let us en-
courage an alien immigration that is
assimilable and amenable to a country
with free institutions but let us strongly
bar the door to those who lower our
standards. The present bill has been eost
and those responsible will soon appear
before the American people for a verdict
Of commentator or condemnation. So
mote It be. r. 8. MOTH.

There was quite an exciting game
of base ball among the young boys
Saturday morning. Two pickup
mines went to the ball park to con-
tend for honors. One of the mines
was called Propriety Hill and the
other nine was called Tough Guys.
The battery for the former was Hart
and Northup and for the latter Nc
Carville and Roth. The Tough Guys
were victors by score of 10 to 2.
Audubon and Griswold played a
game of base ball on the home dia-
mond last Sunday afternoon. Up to
the seventh inning the game was
very close when the score stood to
l3. In the eighth inning however,
Griswold made two scores and re-
peated the dose In the ninth. Audi
bon was unable to score after the
seventh inning and the game closed
Ia to in favor of Griswold. The
game was clean throughout and the
home team acknowledges Griswold's
superiority. 1t is expected that a
return game will be played later on
in the season.
