The Ooukhobors.

The other day we touched in this
column upon curious phases Of re-
ligious mania as manifested in Zionism
and Sandfordism. And from Manitoba
there now comes story of those poor
crazed fanatics. the Doukhobors, who
have abandoned their homes and are
marching, ill-clad, with women and
children fainting from hunger. across a
region that Is almost arctic at this
season. They are without leadership.
plans or reason, but the idea is upper
most In their fevered brains that they
must convert all Canada to their doc
trine and 50 they have senselessly
stampeded as herd Of cattle some
times does In the night on the plains.
The Doukhobors found a sanctuary
in western Canada, three years ago,
when they fed from the prosecutions
Of Russia. They have sometimes been
called Russian Quakers." but about
the only resemblance they have to our
Quakers is their passive resistance to
military service. When they first came
they seemed frugal and Industrious
emigrants, and in all ways desirable as
settlers of a new country. Their con-
duct deepened the universal condemna-
ton Of Russia's persecution. but now
they seem to be little more than a
colony of lunatics. One Of their
strange doctrines is that of equality
between man and animals. They have
turned their cattle and sheep loose and
refuse to profit by using their flesh
or products. They are barefooted.

affair suggests that the prosecutions"
of the Russian government which
drove these people into exile may have
been too harshly judged. The expert

that few immigrants are desirable un

citizens in their own land. The suf

welcome on our shores, but America
cannot afford to make room for colo

1t can for anarchists. criminals or the
hopelessly ignorant pauper class of
southern and western Europe. The case

A Hartford, Connecticut. magistrate
gave the dodger habit a heavy blow,
last week, when he fined A men and
boys $50 each and costs for circulating
dodgers about the streets. A city
which has pride in it's appearance can
rot afford to have its streets Uttered
up that way, and Hartford has set
other cities good example. Probably
the judge did not fine those who caused
the dodgers to be circulated because
he realized that they had already suf-
fered the loss of whatever money they
mad thrown away In that form of ad-
vertising.

when sportsmen come here hunting
it would be better for them not to go
into mans barnyard looking for
game" suggests the Monson cor
respondent Of the Fort Fairfield Re-
view. "A certain man came here
hunting. put up his team at a farm
er's house, shouldered his gun and
went to the barnyard. There he saw
some hens. and was about to take aim
at them, thinking they were cartridges,
when the lady of the house interrupted
him by screaming. He then went to
the pond in search of wild ducks and
cranes. emptying the magazine of his
rifle at his intended victims without
disturbing them in the least. Taking
boat, he went out to gather in his
supposed ducks. and behold, they were
nothing more than the roots of some
upturned trees. How is that for
