THE EDUCATIONAL TEST.
MRS. M'KJNLEY'S PENSION.
Tho dispatches inform a waiting
world that Mrs. William AIcKinley
received today the first quarterly in
stallment of the pension granted
her by congress. As a wife of an ex
soldier and ex-president she Is to re
ceive 55000 a year. That she is de
serving of it as the wife of a man
who fought as a soldier for his coun
try goes without saying; that she
is entitled to it as the wife of an
ex.presldent Is open to doubt.
But more than all, she is not in
need of it, as she is a wealthy wo
man In her own name, and, in addi
tion, was left several hundred thou
sand dollars by her husband, the late
William Mckinley.
Mrs. McKInley had an abundance
During the debate in the house on
the proposal to insert an educational
test in the immigration restriction
bill a good deal of opposition to the
plan was developed. The arguments
of the opposition were to the effect
that a great many good people can
not read or write and that a great
many bad people can do both, and
consequently it would be an act of
injustice aud of folly on the part of
the United States to demand that all
intending immigrants shall be able
to read their own language.
a a
One of the loading opciu .its of
the test was General Grosveuor, who
argued that it would not include an-
atchists. He is quoted in the dis
patcher as having said that Luccheni,
who assassinated the emperor of
Austria, spoke three languages; that
Bressi, who killed King Humbert,
was educated; that the assassin of
President McKinley was an Ameri
can and the product of American
schools; that Gulteau and Booth
were both men of education. "They
could all 'have come in under the ed
ucational test," Bald General Gros
venor. "Most of them could have
taken chairs as professors in our
universities. You woud keep out the
honest but ignorant man, but you
would let in the educated criminals
who come to plot against the insti
tutions of our country."
a a
That any one of the anarchist as
sassins or that most anarchists
could take chairs in any of our uni
versities is of course too absurd a
statement to be worth refuting.
General Grosvenor 1 sa man of light
and leading in the nation and has a
reputation to lose which he will sure
ly do if he make many more such
assertions as that. It s to be
noted only as an evidence that when
an orator gets excited on the floor
of the house he will say anything.
Sitting aside all the extravagances
of statement, the argument remains
weak and futile. It is well known
that many educated men are rascals,
out that fact does not prevent an ed
ucational test from being one of the
best possule protections against un
desirable immigration. Other teBts
of course should be united with it,
but it fills a place in the exclusion
program that no other restriction
can do so well.
a a a
An educational test sits a stand
ard oy which we can exclude the
horde of immigrants coming from
regions where the peopie are so il
literate that they are unfit to become
American citizens while it leaves the
way free for people fro mthe great en
lightened races where schools are
common and the mass of people have
been taught to read and write. One
of the serious evils of later immigra
tion is th&t it conies more and more
from Southern and Eastern Europe
and is composed of people whom long
ages of despotism and oppression

was not complimentary of Roose
velt Six months ago when Hill was here
, wtiltp House. This
time he put up at the Arlington and
lunched with Hanna. He told ever
hodv he met that the mau in the
Wh'alK House was i nnrgeroi:" radi
cal; that his auti-railroad campaign
was a menace to the prosperity of
the country; that he was stirring up
populism in the northwest; that he
was no better than a socialist, and
many other things of the kind.
What the eminent merger railroad
klnc told Hanna was much to the
same effect. He also told Hanna
'something to be repeated to Roose
velt, and it was to tail; over uus mes
sage that the now famous breakfast
was arranged at the unseemly hour
of 8 a. m.
Without professing to repeat the
exact words used at the breakfast,
and without violating any confidence
es, it might be stated that Mr. Hill,
wished Roosevelt to understand that;
he could not go on as he had been 1
doing, bringing suits under the Sher
man anti-trust law against his rail
roads, stirring up the inter-state
commerce commission to bring in
junctions, prosecuting the meat and
other trusts, and generally interfer
ing with the peaceful operation of
railroad business, without being
brought to account for it.
. a
A groat many people have byen
unrated because of Mr. Roosevelt's
proceedings against the beef trust.
It is true that those financiers who
are not directly interested in the
packing houses have no great con
cern for the beef trust and yet it is
evidently feared, and naturally so,
that If the proceedings against the
beef trust are succesful, a popular
demand will be made for similar
proceedings against other trusts.
If Mr. Roosevelt would in all ser
iousness proceed against the trusts,
it cannot be doubted that a very
strong opposition woud be built up
against him in his own party, how
ever much he might have the approv
al of the rank and file of the party.
a a
However important the figure of
J. J. Hill may be in business circles,
it is humiliating that a trust magnate
engaged in violation of law would
dare to threaten the president of the
United States if the president under-,
took seriously to enforce the law. ,
If Mr. Roosevelt seriously intends
to wage a serious war against the '
trust system he wil have neea fori
all the "strenuosity" he can summon, j
He will be discouraged by party lead
ers and threatened by men of high
influence in business and political
circles. It is probable, also that a
serious fight against the trusts by
Mr. Roosevelt would result in his
defeat for the republican nomination,
but there are things worse than po
litical defeat and there are things
better than political victory.
The people are feeling the exac
tions of the trusts and if Mr. Roose
vellt shall make a determined effort
to protect the people from the evils
of the trust Bystem, and to punish
the wealthy and influential law
breakers, even though he be defeated
in the republican convention he will
retire from office honored and re
spected for patriotic effort against a
mighty evil.
In a speech at Minneapolis, when
he was vice-president, Mr. Roosevelt
said that it might be necessary In
the future to "shackle cunning as in
the past he had shackled force."
The "future" to which Mr. Roosevelt
referred is at hand. It is time the
"shackling" process was commenced.
The shackles will not, however, be
