Again, they refused to comply with the law re-

that God knew who was born and who died. ana
it was an affront to Him and violation of His

when it was represented to them that these
things were required by the law of the land FOR
the welfare of society. they boldly declared
their opposition to all human laws as contrary
to the will of God. The outcome of it all is that
they regard themselves as prosecuted in Canada
about as much as they were in Russia and they
want TO leave that country for some other where
they will be free from all trammels of law.
We do not know where they will find it, and
we cannot hope for them any success in their
quest for license. There used to be in Tahiti,
we believe. a state of affairs similar to that
which they desire; but even there some sem
blance of social order is now maintained. There
should be. and trust there is, no place in
the civilized world in which communities of
men and women would be privileged to live in
social anarchy. The proper place for human
beings who degrade themselves TO the level of
beasts is a Jail or an asylum. 1t would be
most gratifying to learn that the reports of these
people which now come from Canada are I'M
true and libellOus, but as we have said, they
come good authority and are not contra
dicted If they are to be accepted as true we
must transfer sympathy from the Doukhobortsis
TO the Russian Government and declare that at

in its exercise of what was hastily denounced
as intolerance and persecution. Intolerance
against anarchy is necessity of civilization.

MORE ABOUT SPEED.

EQUAL rights for automobiles Is the descrip-
tion of the provisions Of pending measure ut
Albany. That is we'll. Horseless vehicles are
no longer an experiment, nor even novelty.
They are Il we'll established form of lOcomo-
ton and entitled TO recognition as such.
There is no good reason why they should not
be admitted to the parks on the same terms rs
other vehicles They have in fact long been
thus admitted 10 Prospect Park. in Brooklyn.
without bad results. The continued exclusion
of them from the speedwayS in Manhattan and
Brooklyn seems desirable. however, and cannot
be accounted n discrimination against them,
since-at least in Manhattan-aH heavy and
cumbersome horse vehicles are similarly eX-
cluded. as, Of course, they should be, The
speedwayS are for the speeding of fast horses,
and nothing else, and coaches, bicycles lumber
wagons. automobiles and all such vehicles
should he kept off.
Equal rights for automobiles then. is a sound
principle. But l. should not be interpreted as
the HiheInian interpreted equality as being "as
good as any man and n blanked sight better"
The automobile should not enjoy superior rights
TO those of horse vehicles. There has been talk
OF granting a higher rate of speed on the high
ways 10 the former than TO the latter. That,
for reasons which we have already pointed out,
city street nor on a country road should steam
or electric vehicle be permitted to travel at
rate of speed forbidden 10 a horse drawn
hcle. Equal rights and equal speed for both.
That is the proper rule.
BY the way while the matter of regulation
Of speed is under consideration, official and
otherwise. it would be 4 particularly good plan
To stiffen up observance of the eminently salu-
tary rule for slow drvng-and steaming-at
street crossings The vast majority of col
lsiOnS and other accidents on city streets occur
at crossings, and the direct result of al
tempting to pass them at too great speed. ON
open street with no intersections there Is
little danger in rapid driving, save, of course,
TO pedestrians on the crosswalks. But when
every few hundred feet there is an ntersacting
street along which another vehicle may be ap-
preaching the same corner at similar speed. it
behooves the driver to proceed with caution and
TO approach the intersection Of streets with his
moderate pace. Such rules may seem eXacting
10 some, but they are absolutely essential to
the safety Of the many. Those who object-and
righty-tO the intrusion of slow coaches and
business wagons upon the speedways should
remember that it is equally Objectionable TO
undertake speeding upon the public thorough
fare. If the speodways are TO he protected

IN QUEST or LICENSE.

The Russian Government has often been crti-
cised fc5 intolerance and persecution in matters
of religion. In some cases there is no room TO
doubt that the criticisms We're we'll founded.
Justice requires, however the declaration that
in at least one conspicuous case there seems to
be good cause for doubling it. if not. indeed. for
approving the very acts of the government
which were recently so harShly condemned. We
refer to the case of the "Doukhobortsis" These
people regarded with stern disfavor by the
Russian Government-"savage prosecuted"

of several thousands 10 Canada. largely through
the aid of Count Tolstoi and the followers OF
that Master, whom might almost term
Tolstoaters. Various phanthropists in Eng

and they were generally hailed as new Pilgrim
