RELIGIOUS


Since the visit to the President at Oyster
Bay made by Secretary Hay, IL has been
made known to the public that the alleged
delicate question between our country and
Russia. respecting the Jews, is not a deli
cate question at all. The Russian govern
ment has no occasion to be vexed. nor has
our government any occasion TO be embar-
raised, by anything the Jews here have done
or have proposed TO do. 1t has been stated
that they have made a protest against the
massacre OF their people at Kishineff. that
our government has undertaken TO forward
this protest TO the Car, and that his I'm
perial Majesty has threatened 10 return the
document with such practical comments as
would amount to telling US 10 mind our own
business, and let Russia do the same. We
are now informed that there is nothing of
this kind on the carpet. There cannot be- any
possible complications over q Jewish protest,
for the reason that there is no such protest.
There has been a petition put i'm ton
praying the Car To consider the righteous
ness OF religious liberation. with. a sugges-
tion that il might be made the subject of
discussion before The Hague tribunal of
peace. This petition is probably the founda-
ton OF the protest story, but there Is not
even a sentence of remOnstrance within it's
four corners. Furthermore, the religious toll
Grafton movement is not exclusively i'm the
hands of Jews. the petition being signed by
Christians as well. III this later report en-
bodies the facts with regard To- the address,
there does not seem to be anything in IL
which the Car need resent.

In that rejected clause Jefferson had ar
raigned king George III for waging cruel
war against human nature itself, violating

incur miserable deaths in their transporta-

opprobrium of nfide powers, was, said
JEFFERSON, the warfare of the Christian
King of Great Britain. Determined to keep
open a market where men might be bought
and sold, he had prostituted his veto power
by suppressing every legislative attempt
on the part of the colonies TO prohibit or
restrain this execrable commerce. And,
finally, that this ~assemblage OF horrors

king George III, was now melting those

against the liberties OF one people with
crimes which he urges them TO commit
against the lives of another.
Jefferson himself has recorded how the
clause ~reprobating the enslavement OF the
Inhabitants of Africa came to be elided
from the Declaration. 1t was omitted, he
says; In compliance with the wishes of
South Carolina and Georgia, which, unlike
some other colonies. had never attempted
to restrain the importation OF slaves. but

Northern brethren also, L believe, felt a

1t will be remembered that IL was a like

slavery to be p~erpetuated in the federal

CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN.
Your attention has not been called to
this public danger for some time, and We
believe it is our duty to inform the peo-
pie that the majority of fatal pneumonia
cases are caused by the patient taking
for a cold some so-called cough cure or
''balsamr which depend upon poisonous
drugs for their effect.
These drugs deaden the nerves and
stop secretion along the breathing tract.
which is always followed by congestion
and nfammation-that causes pneu-
monia.
Without these injurious drugs, Father
Johns Medicine cures colds. long stand
ing coughs and all throat and lung
troubles. 1t is not patent medicine or
cough syrup but body builder and
tonic. it cures colds by soothing and heal
ing the throat and nourishes the system
at the same time. It's gentle laxative eff
feet strengthens the stomachsand corrects
the digestion, 50 that each organ of the
body is able to properly perform its
work-that is how the poisonous waste
matter and impurities are driven out of
the system. Its food elements make
