Talks Too Much.

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
The Springfield Republican has been
making list of Mr.. Roosevelts 3 speeches
since he attained the Presidency, and t
asserts that counting only addresses which
were something more than mere casual re-
marks uttered ant places where his train
has stopped, he has put forth l9l Of these
in about twenty months. Al this rate, Il
points out, he will have made not far
from four hundred speeches by the time
his frs, term in the White House expires.
II Is unquestionably a good thing for the
Executive of this Republic to come into
frequent personal contact with the people,
and TO outline frankly what he thinks
ought TO be done regarding important pub
lic issues. But even friendly observers
may De excused if they incline TO THE be-
C-ef that the President talks rather too
much. A single well-constructed, care
fully prepared address on public ques-
lions carries more weight than "a dozen
more or less hasty speeches which may be
opea to criticism for looseness Of express
sion and are not considered of sufficient
interest by the press Ito warrant their
fun reproduction.

JEW BATTING.

Russia has made a Dretense in recent
years Of being a civilized country. and
there has bcen a disposition among all
peoples to take her az her own esti-
mate but when you scratch Tartar
you know what you may expect. The
stratum Of sayagery underlying the
people of the czar appears to be very
near the surface 1t was Russia that
suggested the peace conference. and
the present Car recently issued a proc
lamation granting to all his subjects
fdll religious liberty. And. yet. in
about a month after that decree had
been proclaimed throughout the En-
pire "a massacre occurs that wipes out
every Jew Of a whole city sparing
neither age nor youth.
The stories Of the butchery OF Kish-
nen We're discredited at first; they
could hardly be believed, but they have
now been verified and are not dis
puted. But the Russian government
adds to It's shame by admonisfing the
Jews in the threatened districts that
they must not arm themselves nor pre-
pare for resistance. It is hardly rea-
sonaole TO suppose that men seeing
their lives and those Of their loved ones
in peril, with the thought Of outrage
for thair women win submit without
selling their lives dearly.
This is the government that banish-
ed Tolstoy and which bears upon its
brow the guilt of Siberia The aged
ana kindly philosopher could not be
suffered to contaminate the Russian
people who in their orthodoxy were
whetting their knives to spill the blood
Of the Iewsl
And, yet civilization can never pay
its debt 10 the Jewish people. They
gave to the world Moses, Paul and
Christ That system OF laws upon
which all modern codes are based was
the jurisprudence OF Israel centuries
before the birth Of Jesus And what
is the cause Of all of this Jew batting
the world over? Are they not good citi-
zens? Are they an alien people? They
are loyal to whatever government pro-
teots them. They have shed their blood
in the defense of almost every govern
ment on earth. They obey the laws,
contribute to the support OF the gov
ernment and live uD to the social laws
more consistently than most races.
They drive shrewd bargains 1t is
true, but so do other people They
have their rich and their poor, their
wise and their foolish, their sages and
their criminals. But their poor rarely
become public charges, ana their crim-
inals are few. The Jew will work and
deny himself IN order to be independ-
ent. one Of the greatest blots on
Christianity is the persecution in its
name Of the race that gave it the First
Christian.

WILL NOT BRING UP
BRIBERY RESOLUTIONS
Adjourned Meeting of New
Castle Presbytery To
Appoint Pastor

That the Rev. Charles S. Stevens, of
Philadelphia, will be elected pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, OF this
city, at an adjourned meeting of the
New Castle Presbytery to be held in
Central Church this afternoon, is al
most an assured fact. Indeed the meet
ing is called for that purpose.
There was talk of the presentation Of
the bribery resolution at this meeting,
which were brought up at the regular
meeting i'm Princess Anne last month,
but they will not be considered at this
meeting.
The Rev. r. A. Elwood. who made
such a stirring appeal for the passing
Of the resolutions before the regular
body. will not father them at the
meeting this afternoon. In speaking
of the case this morning, the Rev. FL
wood said:
"The resolution was laid upon the
table at the last general meeting of the
New Castle Presbytery, held in Prin-
cess Anne until the next session, and
the bringing of it up at this meeting
/ is not in accordance with Parliament
larry rules. If I'remember correctly. as
this session is only an adjourned meet
/ ing of the regular one.
Another reason is that I do not be-
lieve there viii be a full attendance

thing when the attendance does not
