dren. and Tootie was a very jolly
little chap. There was only one thing
about Tootie which was queer and
this was he was so slow about hav-
ing his loose teeth pulled. All the
other rabbit boys and girls, even
Baby Bunty, the orphan, never made
any fuss when they had loose tooth
that needed to be taken out so a
new one could grow in its place.
Here, Unkie Wig!" Baby Bun
ty would say when she found she had
loose tooth that needed pulling.

Then Uncles Wiggilv would gently
take hold of Bunty's loose tooth in
his paw and lift it out so easily that
Bunty never felt it. She didn 'tEeven
try to talk baby talk, which she
might easily have been excused for
doing at such times.

QUOTA BASIS DESIRABLE

1t is not likely that the most rabid adj
vocate of japanese exclusion can find
fault with the proposal rapidly gaining
favor IN congressional circles for remov-
ing the 1924 exclusion act against the
Japanese, and placing them on a quota
basis.
The 1924 act limited the number of
japanese to come to this country annual
ly at 100. Under the quota plan, not
more than 18O would be admitted, diff
ference so negligible that it is hardly
worth considering
Japan has always considered the ex-
clusion act as direct insult and one can
hardly blame her people for feeling that
way. Unfortunately, a most indiscreet
letter by her ambassador to this country
at the time exclusion was being dis
cussed, famed the flame against the
japanese and brought to the support Of
the exclusion act many who did not fav
or it.
In removing the act and substituting
the quota plan, we remove what is Of
fensive to Japan and yet in no way deny
our right to regulate the immigration to
this country in a manner to suit our
selves. There is every reason to believe
that the exclusion act will shortly be
discarded.
With this lesson of poor craftsmanship
before it, there will not be much excuse
for congress if it commits another blum
der by passing the Harris-BoX bill, which
fair-minded persons can only see as
deep insult to Mexico and the imposition
of handicap on the industrial and agri-
cultural districts of the Southwest.
A nation which presumes itself to be
intelligent, should not be so dumb as to
make the same mistake twice in the same
decade.

WHO LAUGHS LAST?

While the whole country is laughing at
Vice-President Curtis, Secretary of Labor
Davis and other prominent Republicans,
over the hoax perpetrated on them by
Cornell students, it is reasonable to as
sumo that the victims are sharing in the
laugh
The students sent kilograms to G. 0. P.
leaders, announcing a memorial banquet
for one Hugo n. Frye, supposed to have
been prominent in the founding of the
Republican party in New York. The tel
egrams urged those receiving them to
send some sort of laudatory message to
be read at the banquet, in case they could
not attend in person.
Mr.. Curtis, Mr.. Davis and others, be-
ing unable to come, sent kilograms laud-
ing the work of Hugo N. Frye, though
the vice-president was careful enough to
make his so ambiguous that the laugh falls
less on him than on Secretary Davis, who
was more outspoken in his admiration for
the good work of Mr.. Frye and the high
place which the latter's memory should
hold in Republican circles.
1t so happens there never was any
such party as Hugo N. Frye (You go
and fry) pseudonyn used by the stu
dents to hoax the Republicans and pro-
vide laugh at the annual banquet CIV
en- by the college paper.
The incident cannot be construed as
exhibiting ignorance on the part OF the
victims, but it does show how the polltl-
clan is at the mercy of the citizenry. He
must be careful never to offend, II he
would remain successful politician, and
must figure that it is better to be made
to appear ridiculous occasionally than
to make the bad break of sighting even
a small number of possible votes.
In reality the joke is on the citizenry,
for we fail to recognize, except perhaps
in such instances as the present one, how
much the politician depends upon US. U.s.
ually the shoe is on the other foot.

Uncle Wiggily thought and
thought of some way to do this so
Tootie would not scream and veil and
then the rabbit gentleman started
to hop over the field toward the Hol.
low stump School. The Lady Mouse
Teacher might know of way. And
what happened next YOU shall hear
in the story after this which will be
called Uncle Wiggily's IS tooth trick.

but it isn't that way with
Tootie,'' Uncle Wiggily would say.
He certainly makes terrible fuss
over little loose, baby tooth. Why,
Tootie,' - the rabbit gentleman would
say to his little boy rabbit, you
know that loose tooth is one that
must come out so new and better
tooth can grow in place of il. If you
don t let me take that loose tooth

crumpled horn of the cow that toss

that caught the rat that ate the malt
that lay in the House that Jack

"No, no, Daddicums!" Tootie
would say, backing into corner and
holding his front paws over his
mouth. - Please not now. After a
while | will let you pull my loose
tooth. -
So it went on and il would some
times take Uncle Wiggily az long as
a week to get Tootie brave enough
50 loose tooth could be pulled.
Then, one day Tootie had another
loose tooth. The way his father
found out about il was this Uncle
Wiggily brought home some early
apples and gave them to his bunny
boys and girls to eat. He gave an
apple to Tootie. but the little rabbit
boy never took bite.
"Why don t you eat your apple,
Tootie2" his father asked. "Don't

"Oh, yes answered Tootie.
''Thank you. But | don 7 care for

II know why Tootie doesn't bite

Why - asked Uncle Wiggily.
