Blessed are they that mourn: for they

Blessed are the meek: for they shall

Blessed are they which DO hunger

Ed. Howe of Potato Hill, Kansas,
thinks he has a grudge against the

duty to improve every opportunity to
exhibit it. He honestly thinks, no
doubt, that he has one on them here:
when the newspapers begin ex-
plotting a man, they go to any limit
of absurdi1y; they are row saving
Buffalo Bill killed his first Indian
when eleven years old. AS a matter
of fact Buffalo BilIs greatness was
largely due to long connection with
the circus business; the biograpilers
of Bill printed after his death were
taken from Beadle's dime novels,
That story about having killed his
first Indian at eleven may or net be
true, but it would be disrespect to the
Colonel's memory to doubt it, since
the opening line in "True Tales Of the
Palms. q book which on it's title

The American liner St. Louis was
the first liner scheduled to sail from
New York for Liverpool under an
American flag since February 1, when
the new German blockade began, and
the first to test the new German war

fixed for today, but the sailing was

American line steamship Finland, un-

Warrington, Feb. 5.-New objections
from Japan to the language of the
Asiatic exclusion section of the vetoed
immigration bill We're disclosed in the
senate today when Senator Reed,
lighting the proposal to re-pass the
bill over the presidents veto, an
nounced he had been authorized by
the state department to say that the
Japanese embassy had called atten-
ton to the provisions. The bill as
finally passed was thought to meet all
objections.
The administration already has
successfully used its information to
prevent passage of anti-alien land bills
in Oregon and Idaho objected to by
Japan and a desire not to agitate re-
lations with Japan now is evident in
all administration quarters. This has
been accentuated by the favorable re-
ception in Japan of President Wilson's
action in breaking off diplomatic re-
lations with Germany, which has been
gratifying to the government
