The untimeIy death of Mrs. Booth
Tucker, under circumstances most
painful and distressing. removes one
Of the strongest and gentlest figures
in the world of militant philanthro-
py
AS the daughter of the founder and
commander of the Salvation Army.
she was actively and earnestly identi.
fed with its evangelistic and philan-
thropic work in this and other lands.
She shared the zeal and enthusiasm
OF General Booth, and dedicated the
energies OF her life and the splendid
powers of her eloquent and persuasive
oratory to the work of ameliorating
the condition of the submerged
classes. Her gentle pleadings were a
benedlction TO the outcast and ray
of hope for the fallen. To the in
mates of prisons everywhere her fire.
quent visits brought messages of hope
and cheer. They hailed her as a good
angel. and listened attentively to her
simple and earnest plea for the bet
ter way"
To her work for the army she
brought the fruits of the ripest ex-
perience and training gained from the
work among the slums of London and
from her connection with the interna-
tiona training homes in that city.
In the United States she was given
full and equal authority with her hus-
band. Commander Booth-Tucker. in
directing the affairs of the army.
To those who believe that the work
Of the Salvation Army is the nearest
approach to a practical application of
the teachings of Christianity the
death of this admirable woman will be
in the nature of a personal loss, while
all Christendom will mourn her de-
mise with a common sorrow. Here in
Durango the local army workers are
sorrowful over the loss to the army
and the world as whole.

The Norwegian author and publ
cist, Bjornson. wants the United
States, England and France to stop
lending money to Russia. and thereby
head her of in her march OF conquest
in Asia. This Russian hater says
that that country has recently borrow.
ed $700.000,O00 from the three nations
named, and that 1t has spent tho mon
ey equipping armies and navies and
in establishing military posts In Asia.
All this. as he views things, means
that another long step has been taken
towards the subjugation of the world
to Russian ideals. II every country
should refuse to lend Russia any more
money, as he reasons. she would be
compelled to give up some of her con-
quests in Asia and thus would shrink
to smaller place on the map.

THE IMPORTATION OF COAL.

Last January congress authorized
rebate Of all duties on coal for one
year. The law went into effect at
once, and since then the importation

of statistics has now compiled figures
comparing the importations in the first
nine months of the current year with
the importations In the corresponding
nine months OF last year. and indicat-
ing what effects the rebate OF the duty
has had.
