The idea of exempting Belgians
from provision of the literacy test
was originally proposed in an amend
ment by Senator Williams, but instead
OF naming Belgians, he got around II
by providing that the provision OF the
act should not apply to the citizens OF
any nation which had been conquer

violation OF its neutrality.
II was deemed advisable afterwards
to admit the Beixians by name In

by Senator Williams.
The amendment was denounce6 for
singing out the Belgians by Senator
McCumber OF North Dakota, who also
strongly opposed 1t because It pro-
posed to bring in these Immigrants

burnett OF the house immigration

That moderate drinking is only little less fatal

Alcohol the Great Destroyer

Alcohol is classed by scientists protoplasmic
poison" 1t is characterized because it in lures the
cells of the body and thus destroys life at its source
Professor DIR. Gaule of Zurich, summing up the
results of scientific investigation everywhere, says
that the harmful action of alcohol "extends all the
elementary organisms of the animal and vegetable
worlds, without exception Eggs and the unborn
young Of animals when brought into direct contact
with alcohol destroyed. Insects and creatures
which give light close their little lamps, song birds
their music, and all living creatures de-
stroyed by this poison.
Just what proportion of human deaths due
directly alcohol, it is impossible to say. The most
careful and conservative estimate is perhaps that of
Phelps the well-known authority vital statistics,
who places the number at 10000 annually one for
every 100 of the total population.
And if we add to these the deaths in which al
cohol is predsposing cause, the number is swelled
to calamtous proportions. The following chart, based
upon scientific inquiry into this phase of the subject,
shows the proportion of deaths from various diseases
in which alcohol predisposing cause:

graphically illustrates this argument But the old gen
teman is not SO hale and hearty as he appears. In

The same is true of his ruddy cheeks. The alco-

There is still another misleading effect of alcohol
to which the liquor advocates fond of referring.
They cite the wel-known experience of moderate
drinkers that glass or two of beer makes them
FEEL better. factory workman puts it this way
"When start home after hard days work, I
often all tired out but if go into saloon and drink
glass two of beer | feel like another man."
Here again appearances are deceiVing. The
workman is merely experiencing the stimulating and
narcotic action of poisonous drug. Other drugs,
such as opium, would have been grateful
in their action. But he not really rested
strengthened he merely ceased to feel tired and weak
Not only SO, but the relief he experienced was pur-
chased at the expense of actual loss OF vital energy

THE SELF MADE MAN

That dear old phrase about the | self made man" cropped mp again the other day. Self made men who advertise themselves as such are as
 rare nowadays as 5uffalos They
 were a good type. when they ac-
 tually did make themselves and were not made by accidentally stubbing | their toes on gold mines or oil wells With all their faults one liked them better than some of their horrifying descendants. They were at least fla
 miliar with hard knocks. They had slept on hard beds or on no beds at all they had undergone the hardship of dressing without a valet and or walking without a cane and they had known what it was to work until they were blind with weariness. The qualities by which they rose were not always admirable, but at least they
 were their own qualities, not those of an ancestor
 For the perpetuation of economic institutions the self made man was a boon. He gave a fictitious interest to life in the United States. He proved that there were winning numbers on the wheel of fortune The average mans chances, then as always were slim; the bet against the average man was a hundred to one or worse. But the average man persuaded him self that he might be the lucky hold CT of the hundredth number in the lottery. He wanted no changes in the rules.
 But those days waned win a second generation. They waned wken the MorganS AStors ROckefellers and hundreds of lesser beings the country over began to bequeath their for tunes and their power to heirs who had nothing to do with making the fortunes or assuming the power. The arrival. of the ready made man les sened the demand of self made men, If the odds against q brilliant sue cess for the average man had been hundred to one they became a thou sand to one The old doctrine of room at the top became a mockery.
 But the change has not been a mis- fortune. It was a poor set of nor tals which encouraged young men to chamber to success over the bodies of their companions. The curtaii- ment of opportunity has opened young mems eyes to more al.ruistic visions. More of them see that the ma joritY of people born into any generation must prosper or suffer together. Neither self made men nor ready made men are of importance in com parison with the whole mass of the people. Self made communities and self made nations and self made worlds are the newer visions.-San Francisco Bulletin.

RAY. July 22.-Hogan was very eff fective in his first game against the Shelter. his wildness being offset by strike outs of which he had ten. Cowan pitched a nice game for the Shelter. but weak hitting on the part of his tenn mates, who couldn't fin' the ball when hits were needed, was the cause of his defeat. In the first inning Ray scored two runs when Cay singled and Scanlon put one over the center field fence. They scored again in the second on walk sacrifice, and Riordan's single to center.
 Again in the seventh they put two moro across the plate on two singles and an error. after two were out. The Shelter got theirs in the fifth in the following manner. Free trans portation to Carnes. single by Pierce. another pass to McMurdo, and D. Miller's single over third
