The idea that the United States
should urge a vigorous remons-
trance on the government of Rus
sia-which in reality is the czar-
ON behalf of the Jews, and calling
for Justice on the Kishinev muir
ders and robbers, has been pretty
generally abandoned on the ground
that such remonstrance would have
precisely the contrary effect from
that intended. 1t would increase
hostility among the common peo-
pie of Russia to the Jews, and
would make the lot of the four mil
lion Jews in Southern Russia hard
or than it is at present. 1t would
irritate and provoke the ruling
race, and would be held in remem-
brance as a great wrong and re-
proaoh on a friendly people or GOV
eminent. No nation or govern.
ment cares to be held up to the bar
of public opinion of the world as
guilty of high crimes, or as a con-
senting or oonniving party.
Then there is great doubt wheth-
er the Russian government is blam-
able to the extent alleged, any more
than the Government at Washing
ton for the lvnching of Chinese in
the West or of Italians in Louisi-
ana, which we have endeavored to
condone by the payment of certain
sums of money. The czar is be-
lieved to be humane man, and is
opposed to the persecution of the
jews or any other class of his peo-
pie. 1t is believed that 500 Rus
slams are now in Jail for failing to
enforce the laws guaranteeing pro-
tection to the Jews, while the gov
ernor of the province in which
Kishinev is situated has been dis
missed in disgrace. The central
government appears to be in ear
nest in its endeavors to punish the
lawless, and shows a purpose TO
protect the Jews. 1t is not likely
the Kishinev ortrages will be re-
peated in any part of Russia.
This is a commercial age, and
there is every reason the United
States should maintain friendly
relations with the czar and his peo-
pie in the interest of trade and CON-
merce in Northern Asia. There is
no thought of war by the United
States or any European war be-
cause of the crimes against the
Jews. The empire is as unassaiIble
as the United States.
Bitter words and hot reproach.
es can do no good. We must trust
and so must the Jews and their
sympathizers throughout the world
to the quiet protest and verdict
of civilization and Christianity
against the horrors of religious per-
secution, and there is every evil
dence that it is now having pro-
found effect in Russia.-Pittsburg
Post.

The sympathy of the whole coun-
try is with the food sufferers along
the Mississippi river. Thousands
of acres, including countless fertile
farms have been ruined for this
season, at least, and the loss to the
owner and other residents within
the ill fated territory is simply
enormous. Aid is literally flowing
towards the unfortunate. but it will
be years before the loss is over
come.

Through the efforts of Mrs. John
McCulloch. Secretary of the
"Charles Lewis Chapter" Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution,
copy from the old medallion por-
trait of Col Andrew Lewis, soa OF
Gen. Andrew Lewis, has been
secured by the Society. This old
historic portrait, over a century
old, was kindly loaned to Mrs. Mo-
Culloch by Mrs. q. w. Powell, of
Bent Mountain, a near relative of
Col. Andrew Lewis. He was SO
much like his father, the General,
that this picture was used by Rog-
-ers in his statue of Gen. Lewis at
Richmond, Va. It was also on
exhibition at the P Philadelphia Gen.

The copy our society has is a
water-color copy finished by our
photographer, Mr.. l.. Hoyt. Our

One of the most useful forms OF
philanthropio work, and one that
is growing in favor all over the
United States, is the encourage
ment of small savings. There is a
common tendency to squander the
pennies until one learns by expert
ence that they make dollars. One
of the most popular forms of the
work is the stamp system of the
provident socities. The first PEN
ny Provident society was organ
lied in New York with money
furnished to make a beginning by
those who foresaw the good to be
accomplished. There are now in
the country more than 100 similar
socities scattered over twenty-five
states, which patronizo this cen.
trail Office in New York. The
method is to keep on hand a large
assortment of stamps printed es-
pecially for this work and of various
denominations from one cent to a
dollar. Each depositer is furnished
with blank book containing ruled
spaces for the attachment of stamps
as money is deposited. The de-
positor hands his money to the
society, and receives stamp of
proper value in return. This he
places in his book. and when by
this process he has evidence of
deposits amounting to S. he can
turn in his book and receive the
money for use or for deposit in a
savings bank which will pay him
interest.

A little trick of the PRESIDENT,

A little trick of the Presidents
during his Swing around the cir
ole" was to give to the Associated
Press representative accompanying
him type-written copies of his adj
dress to be delivered at any given
point, to be sent out broadcast over
the country as the speech he de.
livered there. That speech, as sent
out was carefully built and edited.
1t was not the speech he delivered,
however, by a long shot. Roose-
welt said many things in his speech
es that did not reach the people of
the country, and things he did not
want the country to hear. The
Butte, Montana, Miner, sent stem
ographer to hear Roosevelt and
took his speech down batim, and
it differed materially from the type
written copy sent to that Office
early in the evening. He said many
things of radical nature. and they
were things he would not want the
business interests of the country
to get hold of. for fear that there
would not be the same unanimity
in endorsing him for nomination
as there seems to have been lately.
If this isn't sayings on the etump
that he does not say off of it, what
would you call itP If this isn't ap-
preaching the game of the fakir
who sells soap from the tail-gate
of wagon, name it? That sort of
work has neither the color or the
odor of craftsmanship. 1t is the
mere trick of a politioastro. IT this
be less majestic, make the most of
it.-Grafton Leader.

since saw you of an important use to
which a similar wood is put in the man
ufacture of storage batteries, the sup
ply of which comes from Central Amer
lea, and it has occurred to me that if
there is much of this light wood to be
had in Honolulu an important trade
might be begun. If you could let me

me, Very truly yours.
CLIFFORD PINCHOT,

Prof. Brigham says. apropos of Mr.
Pinchot's request:
The wood is wiliwili (erythrina mo-
nosperma). The Central American wood
is also a species of erythrina (of which
specimens grow freely in my garden in
Nuuanu). but the Hawaiian wiliwili is
of less specific gravity and hence would
probably be better for the use mention
ed by Mr.. Pinchot. There are trees of
wiliwili in many parts of this group but
do any Of your readers know of a suf-
ficient supply for commercial pur-
poses?"

LUVERNE CITIZENS ASK FOR Me
 LENDoN'S IMPROVEMENT.
Delegation Visited Governor Jelks in Interest of Justice of Peace Who Was Removed
 from Office.

The delegation of prominent citizens of Crenshaw County yesterday presented a strongly endorsed petition to Governor Jelks asking the reappointment of John C. McLendon, the Justice of the Peace at Luverne. who was recently removed from office.
 MT. McI1endon was removed from of- flee for "transcending his authority ' The charges in question related only to the trial of some labor cases in which justice of the peace had no authority. Mir. McLendon's friends say that in trying the cases he did so under the belief that he had a right to sit in such cases. They say his error was innocently made. and that the same error had been made by other justices,
 MT. McLendons action in the cases in question was made the subject of warm editorial in The Luverne Critic. Mir. Mo- Lendon Is the editor of rival newspa- per, The Luverne Journal. and consid- erable animosity has existed between the two editors.
 The Critics editorial was brought to the attention of the Governor, who sent Assistant Examiner T. J. Rutledge to Luverne to investigate the charges.
 On the Examiners report. MT. McLen- don was deposed from his office for transcending his authority.
 Mir. McLendon's friends immediately set to work to have him reappointed to the vacancy created by his removal The petition which was presented to the Gov ernor yesterday was signed by 114 of the 200 qualified voters of Luverne beat It was presented by Major Charles R. Brick. en. Dr. J. G. Horn and Sheriff P. b. May.
 The signature bore the signature of every county official except the Tax As sessor.
