Every employer of labor, from the
man who hires thousand operatives
TO run his mill, to the woman who en-
plovs single domestic in her httie
kitchen, could tell a similar story OIL
the misconceptions of their employees.
On every side are stupid people who
never seem to catch the true slgnlh-
canoe of tasks they are set to 90.
As result, they bungle their jobs,
lose time, destroy machinery, deter
iorate products and put the business
out of gear.
Rut what is true of the minor tasks
of life, is as true of life, as whole.
The very people who complain the
loudest at the inefficiency OF their
helpers are the ones who often make
the most terrible mistakes them
selves, in that great factory where all
of rs are merely operatives. We are
put in our posts to play supolulha'e
parts in the great plan of the divine
Providence and try to run the Whola
machine for our personal proht ana
pleasure The misconception is al
ways terrible and, alas, too often fatal.
We are forever stopping trains and
not infrequently wrecking them, Mere
crossing tenders that we are, we IN

the Irish crossing tender, and so, nc

Gently made an admirable statement
of the case to President Wilson in
favor of the "literacy test" He de
clared it was necessary to have a test
which was simple, clear, and I'M
mistakabe in its terms: one which
could be understood beyond all per-
adventure by the prospective immi-
grant from Syria, Armenia, Bukovina,
and other far-off lands, and which
could not be juggled with in an arbi-
trary manner by minor officers of the
immigration stations. He said many
plans for the restriction of immi-
grafton had been proposed; among
them the establishment of agencies
abroad, so that the moral, physical,
and general attributes of prospective
immigrants could be inquired into
before they left their native land.
This system would be the ideal one
if it we're feasible. said Prof Ross,
but in the long run foreign nations
would find such surveillance by the
United States undesirable and inn
possible.

THE ''L|TERACY TEST"
FOR I'M MIC Ran is

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-For the
third time within two decades an I'M
migration bill, containing the So
called "literacy test" has been Veto
ed by a president of the United
States. 1t is true that in the present
case-president Wilson having re.
fused to place his signature upon the
Smith Burnett measure-congress IS
trying to pass the bill over the presi-
dental veto: but nevertheless the
fact remains that three presidents
have been so vigorously opposed to
the "literacy test that they were
willing to defy the will of congress
on the question.
It has become tradition that con-
gress is the stronghold of the inter
est supporting a thorough-going re-
striction of immigration while the
presidency has been the last resource
of those who, in fighting "llteracy
test" register their belief that I'M
migration from Europe should be
comparatively free and open. fresi-
dents cleveland and Taft also vetoed
Immigration measures at time when
there was a strong demand in con
gress for their passage. The bone OF
contention always has been the

the measure say that this Will be
the only effective and practicable
method of restriction, and they de

DECISION DEFEATS Law ENFORCEMENT.

ever, considered by liquor dealers as a
punishment, more as a sort of extra

only thing that will cure the illegal

far as practical results are concerned
the aftermath of the decision defeated
the effort of the State, although the
court itself found sufficient evidence to
impose a fine for the violation of the
law. The granting of license is OPP

case the court deliberately chose TO
grant the license again just as 1t made
deliberate choice of fine for the
accused instead OF a heavier penalty.
the result of the Colonial Beach

that the state will persevere until II
