THE LITERACY TEST.

The immigration bill containing the
literacy test for aliens. has passed
Congress, and is In the hands Of the
President. The lteracy test is an
absurdity. President Wilson was op-
posed to 1t, but he will probably sign
the bill. in spite OF that objection.
The ability to read and write is a
good thing. but the lack of that abil-
ity need not necessarily condemn the
stranger who seeks admittance to the
United States; nor will the posses.
sion of that ability make the an
archist or the terrorist who seeks ad.
mittance. a better citizen. In fact II
is a difficult process TO frame any
test that will operate to exclude un.
desirable immigrants other than the
usual test for disease and criminal
records.

A PROTEST AGAINST WAR

The Scottish Independent Labor
Party In secret session Ia Glasgow.
adopted resolutions opposing British
participation In the European war.
and calling upon all members OF the
Independent Labor Party to refrain
from aiding the Government In the
prosecution Of the war.
While this action doubtless indi.
Gates the sentiment OF relatively a
small minority. II Is significant OF the
growing opposition to war among the
working classes everywhere. War
takes its heaviest toll from among the
common people. Its rewards, IL there
are rewards. go most often to the
captains and the leaders who have
kept a safe distance behind the firing
lines. Most wars have been brought
about by the ambitions OF rulers and
The selfishness and greed OF great
financial and commercial interests.
The common people who pay the
taxes, in suffering and in loss OF life.
have little to expect from war, what
ever its results.
We may thank God that the day OF
princely rulers and aristocrats is rap
Idly passing. The era OF the COM
mon people is at hand. and when the
common people understand what war
means to them. we may look for the
dawn OF universal peace In the
meanwhile, however. no one need
cherish any Illusions by reason OF the
actions OF the Scottish anti-militar-
lists. The British people. like the Ger.
man people. are committed to war.
and the British working men. the Ger
man working men, and the French
working men. win fight and die just
as cheerfully in this war as they
have in the past.

AMENDED ADVICE.

Hon. VIM. II. Hinebaugh, member
OF Congress from Illinois. apd. Chair
man OF the Bull Moose CONGRESSIONAL
Committee. has issued statement
advising members of the Progressive
party TO unite with the Progressive
Republicans in the 1916 campaign.
TO the end that the re-actionary ele-
ment Of the Republican party may
be cleaned out and the continued
domination OF the Democratic party
be prevented"
Mr.. Hinebaughs advice comes a
little late. Nevertheless. IL may be
timely as applied to certain indlvid-
uals. We trust. however. that Mr..
Hinebaugh will amend his advice TO
these Progressives whom he urges to
cooperate with the Republican party
In 1916 to this extent: should they
fail TO clean out" as Mr.. Hinebaugh
puts It. the standpat Republican ele.
ment. who happens TO be distasteful
70 them: in other words should they
fail to have their own way. that they
will abide by the results and not pro-
coed to bolt and again attempt to
disrupt and destroy the Republican
party. Returning strays who come
back 10 the Republican party In 1916.
will doubtless realize that the Re
publican party is going to live and
is going TO triumph. either with or
without them.

THREE DAYS FLYING

The popularity Of the Register and
its usual good reputation for the
"facts" was questioned last week when
our attention was called to an error
in our first page article on the Brook
ings County Fair. 1t said that ION all
days except the first three will be two
flights by an aviator of national repu-
tation." 1t should have read ION all
days except the first, there will be two
flights by an aviator of national repu-
tation." The change in n little word
means a great deal sometimes and
might lead to dire results and disas-
trous consequences. We are extreme
ly sorry that Secretary Brooke was
called upon for so many unnecessary
explanations in regard to this state.
ment on the part of the Register but
errors are liable to creep into the
best of newspapers and the utmost dill
gence is the only preventive. There
fore bear in mind that barring acct
dents and sudden DEATH" there will be
flights by an aviator OF national repu
tation three days of the county fair.

II CROW'S-NEST

A striking bank advertisement ad-
vises the use of a speedometer on
ones spending %proclivities in order to
induce people to save money and de-
post 1t with the banker. AS encourag-
ing the habit Of thrift 1t is very good
advice. 1t Is not intended that the
saving habit should be carried to the
point of being misery but that some
precaution should be taken against
the inevitable rainy day. 1t is doubt
ful whether some Of those who spend
their money freely or in fact as fast
as they make 1t would pay any more
attention to q money speedometer
than they do to the ordinary kind

SO
The sacred concert given by the
Brookings band on the school grounds
Sunday afternoon was listened to by
the usual number OF music lovers. 1t
vas noticeable, however, that there
vas not as much applause given as
at the evening concerts and it might
have taken as an evidence that the
musical numbers were not appreciated.
1t was a Sunday audience and the
music, being sacred in character, did
not necessarily call for applause any
more than the response given to music
rendered by a church choir. Apprecia-
tive attention given to any public per-
Torrance of merit is as much of a
compliment to a speaker or a per-
former as some kinds of uproarous APP
plause. For instance, the honking of
the various kinds Of auto horns after
a pleasing number by the band is Of
doubtful value as a mark Of apprecia-
ton. 1t might be interpreted in either
of two ways. To say the least it is
very discordant.
1t is probably not as wei known as
it ought to be that it Is a crime to
offer a man a drink who has taken the
Kelley cure. If this were strictly en-

TO QUARANTINE
Foot and Mouth Diseased Cat
tie to Be Killed.
INJUNCTION WRIT is QUASREl


forced That Farmers Were Unable
to Sell Their Products-Chicago
Milk Supply Was Threatened
Cuarantine in Kansas Counties.
CHICAGO, ILL. - Strict enforce
nent of quarantine regulations
brought the farmers of Kane county
to. time, and they will no longer try
te prevent the killing of cattle infect
cd with the foot and mouth disease.
Sitting at Geneva, Judge c. E. r.
win dissolved the Injunction he issued
some weeks ago against the state vet
erlnarian restraining him from killing
cattle found to be affected with the
disease.
The hearing was attended by scores
o. farmers, who had driven for miles
cfer ice-coated roads to urge that the
INJUNCTION be dissolved. They told
the judge that, after the issuance of
the Injunction the state had imposed
such stringent quarantine regulations
that they could no longer market
their milk, their butter, their grain
OR their hay.
Business Is Ruined.
AS a result the business of practi-
cally all the farmers of the county
was brought to a standstill and their
income practically cut off because a
few farmers wished to protect herds
OF valuable cattle which had become
infected with the disease. It was ar
sned that the whole county ought not
tc be made to suffer for the benefit
of the few
1t was pointed out that since the
injunction was issued the state and
federal governments had done practi-
taily nothing to wipe out the disease
i'll the district, but had <e11ed solely
on the most stringent quarantine ever
ordered to check the spread of the
disease to other districts.
Milk Supply Reduced.
Chicago was almost as vitality in
terested in the situation as was Kane
county 1t was estimated that $4,000
gallons of milk a day were shut out
by the quarantine, and that the ban
on the shipment of grain and hay had
much to do with the advance of
prices of those commodities in this
market, a
It is thought now that the state
will reverse its policy, and that as
soon as the known infected herds of
cattle are disposed of the quarantine
will be lifted and the products of
Kane county allowed to go to market
again,
