President Roosevelt realized fully,
and every other intelligent American
realized, that the right Of the United
states to protest against the massacre
OF Jews In Russia was distinctly weak
ened by the practice Of mob violence
and lynch law IN this country. There
was the added objection to the presen.
tation Of the B'nai Birth petition that
It was regarded by many persons as a
form OF Interference with the affairs Of

was apparent that Uncle Sam was es.
topped from throwing stones at Russia

The western branch of the Kennebec
has been given the name Dead river
because in iT75 it was full of drowned
soldiers. SO one may read. But there
is not 4 syllable of truth In it. And the
next picture conjured up by the name,
dolefu Styx, turbid and niasmatic,
is equally false. The plain fact is that
the river flows for long distance
through meadows, and unless the wa
ter is high it scarcely seeps to move
at all. That is why it has been called
dead. Nothing gloomy belongs TO the
name. A delectable and captivating
stream is Dead riyer.-Century.
