"Spelling-Book" immigration

THE spelling book" immigration law has
! safely weathered the conference commit
tee and now goes to the President. A lit
eracy test, certain gentlemen intimate, is the
easiest way to keep down immigration. 1t
is neither fair nor just and it is wholly
un-American but what difference does that
make to statesmen who value their time so
highly that they will not permit business to
interfere with pleasure2
AS teacher the President probably knows
that reading and writing do not make men
honest, and the most dangerous Of all Grim
inals is the educated one. So 1t may be
taken for granted that Mr.. Wilson will veto
the measure That is what Mr.. Taft did in
similar circumstances. Many who voted for
the bill will be glad If it is vetoed. They are
against it on principle and for it on the
records They have simply put 1t up to the
President" with the expectation that he
would make good"

THE romance OF Detroit is the romance of

There is a college in Virginia, Washington

Increasing Horrors of the Earthquake

TNVERYBODY hoped that the first reports
II of the italian earthquake were exag-
gerated. Such reports are usually discounted,
because of the human disposition to magnify
a calamity when 1t first befalls. But the
mighty hand that grasped the Italian penin-
sula and shook 1t has caused more wreck and
ruin to lives and property than score of
devastating battles. Instead OF 10000 lives be-
ing lost, the Italian Premier estimates the
number at $4,000 and the injured at $4,000
more. Scores of towns are known to have
been wrecked, and there are A in the stricken
area from which no reports have yet been
received. They, too, may have been de-
stroyed.
We are speculating, on this side OF the
ocean, on the effect of the earthquake on
Italian participation in the war; but the
Italians who are stunned by the blow cannot
consider such a question at this time. They
are absorbed In relief plans for the benefit
of the survivors. And relief is the pressing
need OF the country. Italian citizens here
are already raising money for their COM
patriots at home. They should have the
assistance OF all generous persons. And Italy
may well share with Belgium in the kindly
thoughts OF every American home.

Greece Cause Of Worry.
Greater anxiety exists as to the at
itude of Greece. 1t is known that
Austria, Germany and Bulgaria have
seriously complained Of the hospital
ity shown the Allies at Salonili, and
one account goes so far as to say that
The Greek government has asked the
Allies to leave Greek territory. Then
there is the quoted assurance given
by the Greek minister at Paris to the
French government that Greece has
no intention of committing any hos.

Except around Riga and Dvinsk
there has been no heavy fighting in
the Riga region.
Danube Will be Reopened.
The junction of the Austrian, Ger

on the Danube means the speedy re-
opening of that river for traffic, it was
announced.
Numerous vessels are now engaged
in removing the mines and other OBJ
structions and communication between
Hungary and Bulgaria and Turkey
will begin forthwith. Travel by river
will necessarily be slower than by
the rail route through mid Serbia.

FRENCH CABINET I
T. HAS RESIGNED | ed

Paris, Oct. 2S.-The French cabinet
Of which Renne Vivani was head re-
signed today and UP to a late hour
tonight, Aristride BRAND, who was
called upon to form a new cabinet,
had not succeeded in completing his
task.
The subject of M. Vivianis retire
ment from the premiership and the
reorganization of the cabinet was dis
cussed at length by the political lead
ers, but as no definite agreement
could be reached, the Chamber of
Deputies which was awaiting the new
premier's appearance in the House,
adjourned in the afternoon without
any formal announcement having
been made. -...
There had been rumors since the
resignation of Theophile Delcasse,
the foreign minister, but thebr
the foreign minister, of Of important
changes in the cabinet, but the with
drawal of M. Viviani was in the ma
ture of surprise, as his ministry re-
ceived a vote of confidence in the
chamber recently by a large majority.
One explanation offered is that Pre-
mier Viviani has overtaxed his
strength in his official position by his
strenuous efforts in connection with
the war.
Aristride BRAND, who held the of.
fee of minister of justice in the late
cabinet, and who was Premier in
1913, in a statement respecting the
changes in the cabinet said thai he
had received no official mandate as
there was no ministerial crisis.
Throughout the day he conferred with
the political leaders of all shades of
opinion, with the purpose of reorgan-
izing the ministry SO as to include
the best available men in the coun-
try. It is believed that NJ BRAND
will be officially invested with the Or
ganization of a new cabinet as soon
as his election for the portofolio is
made. 4
