All other differences have been compromised and the bill goes to both houses for final passage. The president, however, has decided to hold a public hearing to get the views of the people on the question of the literacy test before he makes up his mind finally whether to sign the measure or veto it. Personally he seems to be convinced that literacy is positively no test of a mans fitness to be let into the country. He con tinues to maintain that some of the honestest folks are those who have never learned to read or write.

DISPATCH SAYS WICK.
 WAS NOT FOR SPENCE,
Declares it Was Imagination to Say That Spence Was For the Dele
 gate in the Election.

The Daily Dispatch of Juneau is a strong Wickersham paper but, it must be said it received the news of the appointment of Bunnell to the bench very nicely. It complimented Bunnell and wished him well which was very nice. But it goes on to say that there was nothing to the rumor that Wickersham was for the appoint ment of Spence. Just at the moment that statement may pass unchalleng- ed but in the same paragraph it states that it was imagined that District Attorney Spence favored the delegate during the election" The mind plays funny tricks and it may be that the whole Third division might have suf- fered from some optical illusion when it imagined" it saw Mir. Spence re- fuse to contribute to the democratic funds. appear and speak at a Wicker sham meeting and saw his lips frame words such as these in substance; q cannot see how any man in Alaska can refuse to support Mir. Wickersham."
 Here is a paragraph from the Dis patch which, by the way, would never imagine things such as that the nov ing picture show at Seward might have been closed by Spence because they were not nice;
 "There is absolutely nothing to the rumor that Delegate Wickershar
 posed the appointment of Bunnell, or desired the appointment of District Attorney Spence of the Third divi- sion. The rumor was started by a Valdez paper because, through its 6ver-zealous desire to attack the dele gate, it imagined District Attorney Spence favored the delegate during the election. It is of such "stuff" that his enemies have been trying to man ufacture opposition to him. Any time the delegate opposes a candidate he does it in a manner that leaves no doubt in the minds of the public where he stands.
 Mir. Bunnell is still young man with his life before him and the op- portunity offered him does not fall often to the lot of men. He has his career in his own hands.-Juneau Dispatch.
