They are (,f the Mine flesh and blood as tlieir eastern brothers and fully as intellectual. They understand what they want on this question better than New York does. The Chinese are complaining of the President because they say he is tlisi rlmlnatliig against them and In favor of the Japanese. They are not far wrong In their contention. It looks queer that one set of these , people have so much more con sideration than the others. The right way is to exclude, nil of them as they all compete with American la bor and do not become citizens. the next two years. The papers are publlshin every sum asked for, It matters not by whom, and then add thirty to fifty per cent and the ag gregate Is in excess of that appro prlated by the last legislature.

She replied that it was required by the teachers in the Bchools. Investigating further, she was asked who Washington was. The-answer was astonishing in one so young. The little one had an abundance of information as to his life and works much more than many older persons of a generation ago. The same was true concerning Inquiries of Grant and Lincoln. The child kenw details of their lives which older people would have been Ignorant of and their great works were firmly Impressed upon her memory. This child was tne aaugn ter of a Dutch citizen not a high grade German, but of the platt dutch so-called.

I am especially fond of that kind of music, particularly when the voices harmonize, and they are well trained. I spent ten years as a teach er in the school room, and taught music some years, and have not got ten so old but I appreciate a fine pro gram such as your committee of fif teen furnished. The three piano numbers were above the average, and the young man who used notes played wen, as did the young man who played without notes, which of course seemed more remarkable, because it was a feat of memory, and expres sion of a musical talent aside from musical training. I shall look forward to the pros pect of attending another reception and meeting of your Council i Plattsmouth with great pleasure. I am glad to have become acquainted with you, and regret the shortness of my time In your company. With kind personal regards, I am Yours sincerely and fraternally, E. S. Pettijohn.
