son who has. been invited to attend the
wedding Of President Woodrow Wilson

day. Dec. is.
Lynn b. Evans, Of Lebanon, KY,
who has been in the engineering de-
partment of the c. A. Durham Com

young man who has received the invi-
tation. 1t is not formal, engraved
announcement of the ceremony which
is to make Mrs. Gait the first lady of
the land, but it was extended to young
Evans with great deal of >heartiness
and If he could possibly go he feels
sure he would be welcome.
The invitation came from Jack Boil
ing. whose father is a surgeon in
Louisville, KY, and a brother of Mrs.
Gait. Evans and Jack Boiling were
classmates and chums at the Univer-
sity of Kentucky at Lexington. and
both We're graduated from that insti-
tuition last June Young Boiling went
to Detroit and Evans came here, where
he entered the employ Of the Durham
company.
Recently Evans received a letter
from his college friend saying that he
was going to Washington with his
family for the wedding, and extending
to Evans hearty invitation to go
along. The party intends making the
trip by auto If the weather permits.
Mr. Evans does not think he will go.
but has the satisfaction of knowing
that he could be present at this inter-
esting affair should he so desire.

GOOD FOR YOU, WOODROW.

The yetolng OF the immigration bill
by President Wilson has caused wide
spread comment throughout the coun-
try, both sides having advocates. The
President evidently proceeded on the
principle that because q man cannot
read and write should be no bar TO
his becoming a citizen Of the United
States. In other words, this de-
ficiency would not prevent him from
becoming a good citizen. That all the
rascals are not 10 be found among
the ignorant and uneducated. but
rather that the preponderance Of ras.
oality is on the other side. A similar
proposition Is pending before the
Texas Legislature as prerequisite
10 suffrage. The Waco Times-Herald
IS against both. and In discussing the
subject says:
THE Times.Herald rejoices IN the
fact that President Wilson returned
10 the Congress with his disapproval
the bill that sought to set mp a III.
eracy test for the immigrant. The
measure may, Of course, get by, but
the President has been true to Ameri.
can Ideals.
"The TimesHerald has little or no
patience with this character OF legls.
lation. Here In Texas It Is sought to
set up a llteracy test for the voter.
All such legislation contradicts the
principle Of freedom. A man can be
a good citizen without knowing how
TO read and write.
"The plea is sometimes advanced
that such legislation IS needed to
safeguard the purity OF the ballot box.
II Is safe to say that for every ignor
ant rascal In the land there Is a match
among the educated. Education
makes a man somewhat shrewder: II
doesn't change his character one iota.
There is another thought in this
connection. II we would confine the
government to the few simple duties
for which II was created there would
be little or no temptation for men TO
corrupt the ballot. The more the gov.
eminent NEEDLES where It has no con-
Germ. the more determined the inter.
