TROUBLE FOR RUSSIA,

whirlwind any day.
If there is revolution of proportions attract at

the union of the student class the mechanics and the

be possible to tell him the meaning of liberty. --
But there the material in the great cities of Russia
which is standing menace to the autocracy. The

THAT PETITION TO RUSSIA.

It is difficult to understand Just what foundation
there is for the persistent that the forwarding of
the petition of the Bnai Birth society Russia by
President Roosevelt will bring about strained relations
between this cOuRtry and the cars dominion. The men
who framed the petition and brought the president
the COregionsts of the prosecuted Jews of Kshe-
They made the request that be forwarded by the
president Nicholas, and after due deliberaton the
president decided comply with their suggestion I'm
less Ambassador Mccormick has distinct instructions to
the contrary he will present it the merely
expression of the opinion of number of the citizens
the United States who have the best right feel
ed at the treatment that has been melted their Rus
sian brethren 1t will have official significance for
it criticism of the Russian government by the
United States government.
If there large colony of negroes in Russia
who took exception of the negro and
who requested Nicholas forward petition to us stat
ing their views this country would be justified in
taking umbrage at the Indeed the mere fact that
the Bna Birth petition forwarded to the car is in
itself ntmaton that the United States does not hold
him personally responsible for the Ksheney riot The
petition merely reviews the massacre calling the cars
attention to it and the disabilities under which the
Jews abOrng and concludes with the request that
he amellorate their condition 1t contains nothing de-
mandatory of the Russian government as represented in
the person of the car.
Tactully presented the petition will be an evidence
OF the United States friendly relation with the Russian
government and expression of interest the welfare
of Russian citizens rather than aront But even if
the Russian government looks upon the petition as a
sugarcoated pill she is pretty certain nevertheless to
swallow it without wry face, for there are many
reasons just why she should maintain at least
show of friendship with the United States At any rate
It seems very certain that the petition of the Bna Birth

A GLORIOUS FOURTH.

The Commercial clubs plan to tam the children
of St Paul Harriet i.pd the Fourth of July IS
most commendable and ST. Paul citizens should re
snond literally the call that has been made them
for funds with which carry out the scheme Not only
will the of this plan insure happy Fourth to the
little folk who will be entertained that day. but 1t Will
insure a safe Fourth we'll.
Moreover, the programme mapped out by those who
have originated the plan, will fail impress the
children with the significance of the anniversary which
they will celebrate. To the majority of children, the
Fourth of July merely fireworks and a general
good time. Children who live in small town or viii
lage have much better chance learn something of the
real meaning of the day than the city children for the
majority of these villages and still keep up the
practice of holding outdoor meeting at which the
Declaration of independence is read and patriotic
ton delivered.
1t that young children make little nothing
of the oral features of such meeting but actions speak
loud these and the respectful demeanor of the
and women who present such gathering and the
mpressiveness that characterize meeting held for
such purpose cOnvinces them that the day IS not merely
for merriment alone, but that it is anniversary.
Such public meeting is not feasible in a city the
size of ST. Paul. but if the present plan of entertaining
the children does not miscarry the little folk will assist
at celebration somewhat similar for they will be taught
patriotic songs and they will sing those before they begin
their and merrymaking. They will hear, too short
but instructive talks appropriate to the day -

waking to the Importance of having celebration that
would ftngly honor the day The plan just evolved by
the Commercial club the best that has been oeredso
far, for nsures almost noiseiess Foufthstch

Otto societies of the city have been longing.

Sorrow comes and sorrows goes,
Lif is lecked with shine and shower,
Now the vteaE5j of grieving, flows,
a Now We smile in happy hour;
Death awaits us, every one
Toiler, dreamer, teacher. writer
Let us then, ere life be DONE
4 Make the world a little brighter!
Burdens that our neighbors bear
Easier let US try to make them;
Chains. perhaps, our neighobsr wear.
Let US do our best to break them.
From the straitened brain and mind
!, Let us loose the binding fetter,
Let US, as the Lord designed
Make the world little better!
Selfish brooding sears the soul
Makes the heart a nest of sorrows
Darkening the shining goal
OF the Sun-illumined morroWs;
Wherefore should our lives be spent
Daily growing blind and binder?
Let US, as the Master meant
Make the world little kinder!
