I should like to vote for the amendment of the Senator from Massachusetts. but I would suggest. as an amendment to it. to strike out the word " agricultural" and the words "from Belgiumn." Then it will take in humanity pretty completely. It is remarkable to me how the Senators mind seems to have changed. A day or two ago in the Senate the only test which was known to us was illiteracyan immigrant must be able to read. and if he could not read. even though he was blessed with the form of Apollo. however desirable in the way of physique and general good health. all these things counted for nothing. He might be frugal. he might behonest and faithful. but if he could not read. that was the thing that should bar him out. Today we learn that he is all right if he has the cash.
