BILL VETOED BY
THREE PRESIDENTS-BE
COMES A LAW.

A number of our readers have ask
ed us to explain the grounds upon
which President Wilson vetoed the
recent important immigration bill,
which was later passed over his head
The cause of the veto was the lit
eracy test which means that all for
eigners within certain ages shall be
excluded from our shores.
On this bill the learned Cardinal
Gibbons recently wrote:
1t is disappointing to many
thoughtful citizens that the i'm
migration bill has passed both
Houses Of Congress. By this
measure illiterates will, in the
future. be excluded from entra-
nee into this country. 1t is to be
hoped that Mr.. Wilson will act
with the same good judgment
as he has done on a former like
occasion and veto the bill. ST.
milar bills have been vetoed by
preceding Presidents, who have
been cognizant Of the harmful
effect this test Of literacy would
have upon desirable immigra-
ton.
Iliteracy Not Ignorance.
llliteracy should not be con-
founded with ignorance. There
is an old axiom which reads
that intellectual attachments
are not the test of virtue"
Many of the most dangerous
members of the community are
men of keen and trained intel
lect, but Of depraved morals.

upheld in dealing with our i'm

acy test.
President Wilson has for the sec
ond time vetoed an immigration
bill on account of the "literacy
test The president says:
In most of the provisions Of
the bill l should be very glad to
concur. but can not rid myself
OF the conviction that the liter
acy test constitutes a radical
change in the policy of the ma
ton which is not Justified In

character. of quality. or Of per-
sonal fitness. but would oper-

more Objectionable if practically entrusted to one

SUGGESTED IN THE DIRECTION OF ECON
OMY OR DEMOCRACY OR EFFICIENCY OR
ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT AUTOCRACY,
THE SITUATION is SERIOUS INDEED.
Since the bill was presented, Governor Bam-
berger and some of the legislature have paid visit
to the A. G. at Logan at which time the intimation
was given that nothing so radical as this would be
approved so far as concerned that admirable inst-
tuition. 1t behooves the friends of all other inst-

SPORTS CLOTHES

HINTS OF A NEW SILHOUETTE

AS rule, bright coats or blouses are
worn with white or light colored
skirts. Included in the list Of gay
colors that are used, red is often
found, which is rather unusual, as
this color has been looked upon for

and winter than for spring and sum-

early development. Had the
United States refused such ILL
terates from the beginning of
our Government, our country
would have lost the benefit of
their virtue, thrift, industry and
enterprising spirit. And the
descendants of such forbears
are an honor to their fathers
and a credit and an asset to our
country, for they have been rap
idly incorporated and identi-
fed with the native population
by the assimilating process of
education and the common use
of the English tongue. In con-
sequence of this, 1t would be
hard to differentiate the child
rem of foreign immigrants from
those of native American par
ents.
immigration bills have been We
toed four times on this test. The
bill of 1897 excluded from admission
to the United States the following:
"All persons physically cap
able and over 16 years of age
who can not read and write the
English language or some 9TH
er language :"
President Cleveland in his veto
message said:
Heretofore we have welcom-
ed all who came to us from 9TH
er lands except those who NOR
al or physical condition or his
tory threatened danger to our
national welfare and safety.
A century's stupendous gro
with, largely due to the .assimil-
alton and thrift of millions OF
sturdy and patriotic adopted
citizens, attests the success of
this generous and free-handed
policy which, while guarding
the peoples interests, exacts
from our immigrants only ply
steal and moral soundness and
a willingness and ability to
work.
1t is said. however. that the
quality of recent immigration
is undesirable. The time is
quite within recent memory
when the same thing was said
OF immigrants who, with their
descendants, are now numbered
among our best citizens.
In 1913 President Taft vetoed a
bill of the same kind using these
words:
l can not make up my mind
to sign a bill which in its chief

the new striped and dotted designs
also have fair showing, and the
heavy linens will undoubtedly be
worn.
The sketch shows one OF the ia
vorite models with the smart hip
length blouse. Stitched box pleats,
starting from under deep yoke and
disappearing beneath the pleated
pockets, give the Norfolk effect
which has always been considered
a good style for outing wear.
Separate coats OF fuzzy white ma
terial, somewhat like blankets, with
stripes of many colors around the
edge, and also on the collar and
cuffs, are among the latest offerings
in sports attire. The colored stripes
are also carried out in the same way
in coats OF oyster-white tussur.
New Notes In Frocks
Wide girdles crushed softly about
the waist are quite often seen on the
new dresses. They are generally OF
satin or silk in some bright contrast
ing color and almost invariably end
in tassels, for tassels are very much
worn at present both on dresses and
hats. The vogue for tassels is al
most on par with that for beads
and braid. the two most fashionable
trimmings that have taken with such
tenacity.
In afternoon frocks Of chiffon or
Georgette and on separate waists the
white chalk beads make very effec-
tive decoration on pale blue, flesh
and white.
Chiffon is rapidly taking the place
Of Georgette, the best authorities
say, but Georgette dresses are still
in evidence and two shades of this
sheer material are often combined
in dress. One dress combining
light and dark tan, and another of
white and pale pink were recently
seen. The result was exceedingly
attractive.
Some Of the new chemise dresses
have their straight lines broken by
deep founces. One of these is illus
trated here. 1t has a side pleated
flounce which comes above the knees
and the waistline is defined by deep
Paisley girdle in soft crush effect.
Further trimming is added in the
simple touch of braiding around the
neck and armholes.
Rumors of New Silhouette.
Rumors of a new silhouette have
been causing a stir in fashionable
circles. In fact, the rumors have
been turned to reality, for the new
barrel skirt has already been seen
in Paris and New York. The bar
rel skirt which produces this new
silhouette, wide below the hips and
narrowing down toward the ankles,
is strong contrast to the straight
line frocks inspired by the medieval
fashions. Whether or not it will be
accepted is still matter of doubt.
The barrel skirts that have been seen
SO far appear in different forms and
some are not unlike the "peg-tops'
which were fashionable some two or
three years ago. 1t is very likely
that the barrel skirt. If it takes at
all. will not at once replace the
straight frocks. 1t may be just a
! fad OF the moment and it may, be
taken seriously by those who arc tir-
ing OF the chemise dresses. Time
only will tell. but in the meantime
we need hardly have our peace OF
mind disturbed about it.

New York, Feb. 12.--Nothing has

Freezone dries the moment It is an

the surrounding tissue or skin. A small
bottle OF freezone will cost very little

How to Get Rid of Plant Pests.

Several inquiries have recent,
come to me concernieg plant
pests. One of these is where
cabbage leaves turn yellow with
almost black veins through which
the sap flows. One leaf after
another falls off until finally the
plant dies. This disease is popu-
larly called "yellowsides" from
the yellow appearance present
ed, and the best thing to do
when it gets into your garden is
to pull up and destroy all plants
as soon as they show signs of in
lection. Do not plant cabbage
next year on soil where you have
the disease this year as it may
live over in the soil. Chemicals
will not prevent this disease.
A disease of tomatoes which
causes the plant to wither is do
ing some damage. This may be
prevented by the application of
a spray made from unslacked
lime and bluestone dissolved in
water, called Bordeaux Mixture. |
If to this be added some Arse
nate of Lead it will also prevent
bugs and worms eating the foil
age and fruit. Write for direc-
tons how to make. A dry rot

siderable damage this year.
spraying may help this disease
some. but this being more pre-
'alent in a dry season with the
earlier fruit, indicates that cul.

Cholera MOrbus.

This is very painful and dangerous
disease. In almost every neighbor-
