being probably more than an offset to
the rise of prices, and the greater
steadiness of employment making a
material addition to their average
earnings.
These advances probably are due to
the demand for manufactured pro-
ducts at high prices, necessitating in
creased production. The situation is
much like that of the farmer who
bought more land to raise more corn
to feed more hogs to buy more land
and so on.

Foxy HEARS THE AUTUMN.

FOXY HEARS

Mr.. Wilson demanded that the

them that the American people have
right to expect his plans to be ac-
cepted, and in the next breath hints
that the railroads will be allowed
to raise their freight rates. The

What the American people have a

parties to lay their complaints be-

PLAGUE MAKES
APPEARANCE IN MEXICO

Mexico City, via Galveston, Tex,
August 2O.-Several cases of infan-
tile paralysis have appeared at points
on the Tehuantepec Isthmus. The
sanitary authorities are taking en-
ergetic steps to prevent a spread of
the plague to other parts OF Mexi-
co.
Twenty-Five of the best physicians
in Mexico City departed last night
for Puerto Mexico to direct the fight
against the plague. The Board of
Health is sending the sanitary corps
to assist the physicians to stamp out
the disease.
Officials here believe the plague
has been imported from New York.
The quarantine against the port has
been strengthened the last two
months.
More than 600 families who left
Mexico owing to the fear of a Mex
can-American war have returned
through Vera Cruz.

Senator Beckham lined up with
Republicans Tuesday in their fight
for a much needed immigration law.
other Senators voting with the solid
.G. o. p, were Ashurst, Chamber
lain, Culberson, Hardwick, Lane,
Myers, Overman, Smith and Varda-
man. Kentuckians of all parties who
want the amazing flow of illiterate,
filthy, low-bred foreigners; scum OF
the earth so to speak, cut off rejoice
that Mr.. Beckham and his handful
of colleagues have not allowed the
disciples Of Woodrow Wilson to
choke them into submission.
Every passenger ship that drops
anchor in American waters after
crossing the seas deposits from its
steerage loads of undesirables. In
tellectually undeveloped they seek to
replace American laborers. They
learn Just enough here to be dan
gerous and sometimes dreves of them
strike. kill and loot at the command
of roughneck leader. We bend on
our knees to drink dry the pond OF
illiteracy but even while we drink
it swells to larger proportions so
lastly is it fed by the stream of ig-
norant foreigners. And Woodrow
Wilson, the President of these Unit
ed States; he who proclaims, Amer
icanism," refuses to take the first
step towards pure Americanism.
An immigration bill, containing an
illiteracy clause, was passed by Con-
gress not long ago but Wilson vetoed
it on the grounds that it contained
the illiteracy test,the very thing that
we want and the very thing that Wen
have, thank God, when we elect a
President.
It's not yellow peril, nor black
peril, nor a peril of any particular
color; but simply a peril. A peril
to the working man, a peril to socie-
ty, a peril to business and a peril to
! the nation. We should consult no
one as to their views in regard to
our permitting these low-browed for
eigners entering the United States
no more than we should ask who we
might bar from the doors of our
homes. 1t is needed legislation that
is bound to come and we are glad
to see men like Mr.. Beckham cham
pioning, with Republicans, its cause.
If war comes to the United States
in the near future a test will be ne
cessary TO ascertain who are Ameri-
cans. The test had better be made
now that we may see who are wor-
thy of being Americans and let those
who object join hands with the Haps-
burg and Hohenzollern and obey the
commands of Watterson.

vETOEs ARMY BUDGET.
Wilson Says Bill Failed To Provide
Discipline.

Washington. Aug. 20.-In protest
against provision which removes
retired army officers from liability
to service and from army discipline,
President Wilson today vetoed the
army bill, thus sending back to Con-
gress the appropriation measure
which carried 100000, 900 for the
preparedness program.
At the time that this Joker" was
inserted in the army bill the circum-
stances said to surround its intro
duction were published. Represen-
tative Hay of Virginia, chairman of
the House Committee on Military At
fairs, was author of the provision and
he slipped it in quietly while the bill
was in conference, thus preventing
debate upon the provision in both
the House and Senate.
1t was said that Hay did this par
ticularly to relieve from liability un-
der the articles of war his friend,
MAJ. zen. rTtu y. AlhSWOItH' WIN
is reported to be writing a book Civ
ing his side of his old feud in the
War Department with Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood. Hay denies that this
was his motive.
President Wilson's action was I'M
expected, although the opposition of
the War Department to this and 9TH
er provisions favorable inserted by
Hay have been well known.
When the news reached the House
Hay reintroduced the bill in the
House without the provision contain
ing the articles of war. In his veto
message President Wilson particu-
larly asked for the inclusion of the
articles of war as being essential to
proper army reorganization.
