BILL VETOED

PROVES MEASURE IN sPE.
ciAL MESSAGE.
TESTS ARE RESTRICTIVE
CHAIRMAN BARNETT ANNOUNCES
THAT HE WILL RECOMMEND
PASSAGE OVER VETO.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Washington.-Presid Wilson ve-
toed the immigration bill Thursday be-
cause of the literacy test for admis-
sion of aliens. His message was re-
ceiyed in the House and referred to
the immigration committee, whose
chairman, Representative Burnett, Will
move that the measure be passed over
the executive veto.
Much informal discussion among
members of the House followed the re-
| ception of the veto, and while advo-
Gates of the bill expressed confidence.
other members asserted that the re-
CURED two-thirds majority to force the
measure into law over the head of the
chief executive could not be procured.
| Three times has an immigration bill
containing a restrictive test been
vetoed, first by President Cleveland.
next by President Taft and now by
President Wilson. Twice Congress
failed to override the presidential dis
approval and House managers were
insistent that the veto should not be
considered until there had been time
for reflection.
The President in his message frank
ly told the House. which originated the
bill, that he had no pride of opinion
on the question and was not foolish
enough to profess to know the wishes
and ideals of America better than the
body OF her chosen representatives
know them"
''If the people Of this country have
made up their minds to limit the num-
ber of immigrants by arbitrary tests
and so reverse the policy OF all the
generations of Americans that have
gone before them, 1t is their right to
do So" he said. Il am their servant
and have no license to stand in their
way. But do not believe they have.
| When the message was read In the
House the attention given was marked.
Upon its conclusion there was ap-
plause from both sides of the chamber.
Similar applause followed statement
by Representative Burnett that, at the
proper time. he would move for re-
consideration of the vote by which the
bill passed and that the measure be
passed over the Presidents veto.

GREAT MANS DEATH
Country He Served So Well Re-
members LincoIn's Work
With Gratitude.

At TWENTY minutes past ten
"A O'Clock Friday evening, April IA,
1865, Abraham Lincoln was shot by
John Wilkes Booth in the back of the
head behind the left ear and mortaliy
o'clock the next morning, Saturday,
April Is, 1865, he died.
There have been many and vast
changes since that fateful day, and the
prayer which Lincoln prayed that the
country might be one again has been
answered in a way that would have re-
joiced his great heart. Not an ami
versary of his birth and death has
passed since his cruel taking of on
which some tribute has not been paid
to his memory, and so it will be to the
end of time among generous Amerl-
cans, wherever their residence or in
herited sentiments; for, however he
may have been misjudged in the con-
fusion and stress of antagonistic opin-
ion, there is none now who does not
praise him for his courage and his
faithfulness to his honest convictions.
He was born in Kentucky February
IL, 1909, and died in Washington April
15, 1865, in his fifty-seventh year at
the very zenith of his powers. The
books are full of the story of his life
and work, but there are still many in
teresting facts connected with him
that have not yet been noted, notwith-
standing the industry of those VINO
have collected great masses of every
thing they could find in any way con-
nected with his life and death.
Mr.. Lincoln. as everyone knows,
was shot by Booth while he was at
tending theatrical performance at
Ford's theater in Washington. "Our
American Cousin" held the boards that
night and Laura Keene was playing
the part of Florence Trenchard for
the last time. She had already per
formed the same part for a thousand
nights. Five years before she hac
played the role at McVicker's theater

Chicago.-The highest wheat prices
with four exceptions since the Civil
War were reached in the local pit Jan

ner engineered by b. p. Hutchinson
hnown as "Old Hutch"
No. 2 red and No. 2 hard wheat
were right up with wheat futures. both
reaching sl.5O3s. Operators pointed to
this fact as significant. as indicating
that high prices were not at least
chiefly caused by speculation. as dur.
ing the Letter and Patten corners.
Thursdays prices were the highest
recorded since the Civil War on the
local board of trade, when legitimate
supply and demand largely governed
the conditions, said pit leaders.
The rise to Thursdays high mark
has been gradual but steady since the
first declaration of war. May wheat
was selling at S4ia cents on July IA.
1914. Within short period the price
went 10 sl.32. This was in September.
Then came n sharp reaction, the mar
ket going back to sl.1lA, when opera
tors began to believe they had become
too greatly excited over the outlook.
The bulge upward from this price
started early in January and has been
steady ever since. operators giving as
their reason renewed activities among
foreign governments in bidding for
wheat.

misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache.
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush off
the body's urinous waste get four
ounces of Jad Salts from any phar-
macy here; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for a
few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acids of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia, and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine, SO it no
longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
