United States, as that law stands to-

But can you prove the story true?
Why count yourself among the they
Who whisper what they dare not say
Suspicion may arise from naught
But malice, envy, want of thought
They say! but why the tale rehearse
And help to make the matter worse2
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue:
And Is 1t not a nobler plan
To tell the best of all you know?
They say! well II 1t should be so,
Why need you tell the tale of woe?

Or make one pang of sorrow less?

of compilation years ago. confesses
in his preface that he entered upon
the work with the expectation OF
completing it within twelve months,

occupied him nearly four years. He
resorted to every possible avenue of
information to make the compilation
complete and the result is that In
these twenty volumes we have all
public presidential papers from the
beginning of the government down.

knowledge these volumes, compris-

no less directly to the busy man of
affairs or the casual reader than to
the specialist and scholar. The vol
umes originally were limited to six
thousand copies for official use. But
when the character of the books be-
came generally known the demand
for them grew so widespread and in

act authorizing further editions in
order that they might become avail

average income; otherwise, no doubt,
it would be purchasable by institu-
tions only and comparatively few
individuals.
The range and variety of inform
alton embodied is truly wonderful. It
sums up the development Of every
institution and treats every phase of
the country's economic. political,
educational and social history. 1t is
a record not only of facts but Of ten
denotes and movements. 1t deals
not simply with the past, but with
the unfolding present. 1t contains,
for example, all the messages and
diplomatic notes of President Wilson
down to Feb, 1916, and at the
same time it goes back to the ma
tons dawn. presenting at every step
and on every subject original his
toric documents. The index to the
entire work is quite voluminous and
so thorough that it affords a COM
plete key for the inquiring reader to
the mine of information at hand.

ever had for the passage of such
bill. Labor is scarce. The negro of
the South by the hundred thousand
is coming North to take his place
in industry. This has never occur
red before. The states which are
most largely responsible for this bill
will not be exempt from its evil re-
suits.
Japan, when she fully realizes
what has been done, will resent our
action also, and the diplomatic stu
alton which the president points out
is fraught with danger and difficulty.
1t is strange that the very day
that the eloquent gentleman from
North Carolina urges us to stand
by the president is the day which
we choose as that on which to re-
pudiate the presidents leadership in
foreign affairs.
A Message to Congress From the
Men ut the Gate.
We've dug your million bitches;
We've built your endless roads;
We've fetched your wood and water.
And bent beneath the loads.
We've done the lowly labor
Despised by your own breed;
And now you won't admit us
Because we cannot read.
oh, statesmen, high in congress,
From North, South, East, and
West.
You render valued service,
AS pen and tongue you test.
The sons are like the fathers, -.
Hard work is not their creed;
They won't swing picks and shovels,
But then-they all can read.
We've given honest labor
And liked our humble lot;
Our children learn the letters
Their fathers haven't got.
We've fled from persecution
And served you in your need;
But now you would debarus
Because we cannot read.
Most crooks are educated
And to the manner born;
Their white hands show no callous;
They look on us with scorn.
Mere learning is not virtue,
The word is not the deed;
Disdain, then, not your toilers
Because they cannot read.
Good friends, II we are brothers,
Why do you raise this test?
VIII talk, then, till your acres
And feed your people best?
Rich children, trained as idlers,
Some workers you must need;
The Logan Republican. [volume] (Logan, Utah) 1902-1924, 1917-02-15

Because we cannot read.

B Up goes the price of bread!
Your bcasted education
Turns men to dudes instead.
We bring our picks and shovels
To meet your greatest need;
Don't shut the gates upon us
Because we cannot read.
