Ior which these mnen gave their blood and one gave his life. because. forsooth. their descendants can not stand a literacy test of this kind. Mr. Piresident. we hear it said that this test is Intended to exclude undesirable people from certain states in Europe or parts of states. but. mark you. it applies to all Europe.
