THE LITERACY TEST

The question of limiting immigra-
ton by literacy test is again before
the United States.
The Lodge Literacy Bill was the
first attempt to restrict the large
number of immigrants to our shores.
Both houses of Congress passed it,
but it was vetoed by President Cleve-
land in 1897. 4 similar bill was vetoed
by President Taft in 1912 The last
attempt to pass such a law was in
1915, when Congress could not muster
enough votes to pass it over Presi-
dent Wilson's veto.
The purpose of the literacy test is
shut our gates to those foreigners
who cannot read any language Those
who are urging such an act expect to
decrease the number of undesirable
NllO NOillt Nllltily lltlH
southeastern Europe. Such nav
comers are not acceptable to labor
ins men, because it is claimed that
this class of immigration competes
too keenly with American workman.
Other reasons, such as that too much
immigration will undermine the ideals
of our democratic government are
also offered.
In the present bill it is proposed to
exempt political and religious refugees
from such a test. This is in accord
with our early principles Of political
and religious democracy
The President will have to decide
again his position. A veto may mean
that the literacy test will become a
national issue.

WHY NOT A GEOGRAPHY MATCH!

IF the war has done no other
thing said one man the other day,
lit surely has refamiliarized us with
the geography of Europe" To the
thinker this suggests, What is it go
ing to take to make us familiar with
the geography of our own state, let
alone the nation?"
How many persons can name the
counties in their state or even the
townships in their county And what
about the congressional and senatori-
al districts? Do you even know how
many there are? Can you recite the
capitals of the states as you once did
Maine, Augusta on the Kennebec;
New Hampshire, Concord on the Meri-
mac" and so on? Try it, and find out
how wofully forgetful you have been,
anu no" loIheu you are HoM.
Or take a pencil and try to draw
picture of the United States, getting
the states where they belong.
Columbia has been having spelling
matches. What's the matter with
having a geography match just to jog
our memories a bit?

without sea power, land power-tha'
is, soldiers-must be imprisoned. ant
in modern economic conditions may
well be reduced to starvation for want
of shells as well as food.
Sir Walter Raleigh once declared
that "whosoever commands the sea
commands the trade; whosoever CON-
mands the trade of the world COM
mands the riches of the world and
consequently, the world itself" This
is just what England has gained in
the present war. By bottling up the
German fleet, England has won the
greatest victory, to date, for the AL
lies. For this act alone has forced
the German merchant navy, second
only in size to Englands merchant
marine, to fly to neutral ports or be
destroyed; has strangled German
commerce. and has taken from Ger
many nearly all her colonial posses
sions.
What, then, has been England's
part in the war? 1t has been probably
to turn defeat into ultimate victory.
1t has made possible for the Allies,
and not the Germans, the landing of
troops where and when they pleased.
1t has made possible the use of the
neutral ports of the world and the
purchase of supplies rom the worlds
for the Allies consumption.
1t has made the fifteen years of Ger
man naval expansion a mere waste of
300 100000 pounds.

SOLDIER OR SAILOR. WHICH!

Many persons are sneering at Eng
lands part in the great war being
waged in Europe and are asking over
and over, What is England's share?
Is it true that she will fight until the
last Frenchman is dead?"
For to the casual observer of his
tory it seems that the soldier has
played the greater part in the wars
of the world. 1t seems that the brunt
of the nations fighting has been borne
by the land forces, and that the de-
cisive victories, the victories which
have made and unmade campaigns
and wars, have been won by the foot
soldiers of a nation And so many
believe that France and Russia are
bearing the brunt of the Allies fight
ing.
But now comes another view. that
''the predominant influence on the
history of the world has been not
the soldier but the sailor" A French
man once saw, says Archibald Hurd.

The Open Column
As 10 Drinking Water.

Editor the Missourian: Pardon me
for again so soon ntruding on your
columns, but an article in your issue
of March 81 entitled Pure Water
Needed to Prevent Disease" and sign
ed "N D. contains some statements
concerning the spread of certain dis
eases that are so far from the facts
that | feel impelled to correct them.
The tendency of the article is good,
being plea for pure drinking water.
Impure water is responsible for the
spread of so many troubles that
there is no necessity to add to the
facts in order to make out a case for
pure water.
The statement in this article that
scarlet fever and diphtheria are often
due to drinking water is entirely con-
trary to all known facts, and it is
difficult to see how such a thing could
be possible.
Where cisterns are in use epidemic
diseases are rare. They occur only
where there is a general water sup
ply common to many people which
becomes infected. The multiplied
ton of supplies necessitated by the
use of cisterns prevents epidemics.
This is what we would expect theoret-
ically and is found true practically.
This is, of course. not an argument
against keeping a cistern clean.

The Rev. VI. \. Hart, First Christia

The Rev. VI. 4. Hart, First Christian
Church-There are four standards of
success as given by Arnold Bennett
success in the pure sciences, in art, in
politics and in mere money making.
Only few out of the many that strive
for success in any of these lines are
willing to pay the price. Judged by
these standards Christ was a failure.
In the measure in which a man gives
out his life unhesitatingly, unselfsh-
ly, he reaches self-realization. Jesus
Christ got self-realization. That is
why his influence today is worldwide.
