.LAMBASTS LEOPOLD
English Peace Delegate AT.
tacks King of Belgium

BOSTON, Mass, Oct liking
Leopold of Belgium was assailed for
his policy as sovereign of the Congo
Free State, at a public meeting held
this afternoon in connection with the
sessions of the International Peace
congress. The attack was made by e.
T. Morel, of England, who represented
the Congo Reform association. Mr..
Morel charged that the king was per-
sonally responsible in large measure
for cruelties practiced on the natives of
the Congo Free State in the terrific
endeavors of monopolistic commercial
organizations to obtain from the coun-
try all the ivory and rubber possible.
The king was defended by George
Herbert Head, of Cambridge, England,
who submitted that King Leopold had
done all possible to stop the cruelties
practiced. The government policy in
the Congo also was bitterly denounc-
ed by Rev. w. M. Morrison, for seven
years a missionary in the Congo land.
The congress today accepted re-
port of the committee on propaganda,
recommending. that the congress in
1905 be held at Lucerne, Switzerland.
One of the first things which the con-
gress did today was to adopt resolu-
tons recommending to all nations to
enter into treaty insuTing in case of
dispute between countries, that the diff
ference would be submitted for set
tlement to a union of all the powers.
A second public meeting this after
noon was held in the old South Meet
ing house to consider the progress of
the peace movement in Europe, with
addresses by prominent foreign dele
gates A dinner was given tonight at
which the foreign delegates were the
guests Speeches were made by Bishop
Percival of England, the Baroness Won
Suttner. Booker T. Washington and
others.
In his address Mr.. Morel said:
The errand which has brought me TO
the United States is a very simple one. IL
Is to appeal to you in behalf of the OPP

DORMANT LAW is
USED AGAINST STRIKERS
Under 1t Iniunctions Are Not Neces-
sary, 1t Is Commended

CHICAGO, Oct. 1.-The Chicago En-
ployers' association today, through At
torney Taylor brought into operation
a law that has lain dormant for years,
by which, it is believed, picketing, vlo-
lence and the Gripping of industries by
strikes can be prevented. 1t is IAN act
to prohibit any person from obstruct-
of the business of any railroad COM
pany or other corporation, firm or indi-
vidual" Under this measure, Attorney
Taylor contends, employers may pro-
coed against pickets without injunc-
lions and have the guilty persons held
to the grand jury by examining magis-
trates.
The law, which was put upon the
statute books of Illinois in 1877, was
applied for the first time in connection
with violence growing out of trades
unionism today, when three members
of the janitors' union were arraigned
on a charge of attacking a non union
janitor in a downtown office.

DISTRIBUTION IN

Heavy General Crop Movement
Helps Coiiecfions-Good
Tone in Pig Iron

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: Popular estimates
of leading crop yields continue to en-
large, corn has passed out of the frost
danger stage and distribution improves
as cooler weather approaches. Addi-
tlonai favorable features are the con-
tinuance of the good tone in pig iron,
freer buying by railways of material
and rolling stock, and heavy general
crop movement helping collections
North and South. While the buying of
dry goods, hardware, groceries. shoes
and clothing continues of good volume.
particularly at the West, conservative
influence finds reflection in small but
frequent orders, calculated to meet ne
cesslteS. The transportation move
ment is heavy and railway earnings
show an expanding tendency, the gain
for September promising to be per
cent over 1908.
There are some of the laws in the
situation which stamp this as an off
year when compared with previous pc
RODS of great prosperity. Relatively
most activity in current distribution
was in the way of dry goods clothing.

shows little improvement. The East

doubt that this is an off year in that

A RIGHT OF CITIZENSHIP

A neglected duty of this country is
the enforcement upon Russia of the
right of an American citizens passport
to be respected, regardless of the ma
tionality or the creed of him who holds
it. This is not a question of religion,
but of citizenship. We must shake off
prepossessions, we must be all around
Americans and maintain the dignity
of American citizenship on an equal
footing in every corner of the globe.
1t is not for us to dictate policies to
foreign governments in their relation
to citizens or subjects of their own.
Unhappy though they be, these people
may not escape injustice unless they
overthrow intolerant domination or
seek the happier realms where free
dom reigns. But the arm of the United
States government should be so long
and so strong that every citizen in this
country may be secure and unchal-
lenged in the exercise of his rights
wherever he chooses to go. That these
rights should be denied to some on no
other pretext than that of race and re-
this line, and disgraceful to us who
submit to it,
The position of the Russian govern
ment, that the laws of that country
exclude from Russian territory all peo-
pie of the Jewish faith, cannot with
out shame be forced upon the American
people. An administration which vaunts
its Americanism, an administration
which does not hesitate to shake it's
fist in the face of some weak power at
the beck of commercial interests and
declare that it must pay its debts made
ed, until the campaign was on, to es-
tablish the right of a great section
of our population whose industry,
whose intelligence, whose thrift and
whose thoroughgoing Americanism
entities them to every right of the citi-
zen under the law. Our administration
is boastful and loud and wordy with
the weak, but it halted in securing for
the citizen of Jewish faith the common
rights that belong to all.
Acquiescenee in this policy of Rus
STA has been virtual setting aside of
the constitution of the United States.
Our fundamental law allows no dis
tfnction to be drawn between citizens
on account of religious faith. Our
diplomatic custom has established such
line. The American citizen not of
Jewish faith may enter Russia with
his passport freely. The American citi-
zen of Jewish faith has been barred
out. The government that acquiesces
in such a regulation becomes party to
1t. If this can be done, then France
could bar out the Roman Catholics and
England might prohibit the entrance of
persons Of Irish birth, and every nation
of the world set up its own petty
prejudice as law of adamant for us.
1t is to our shame that we have al
lowed this discrimination to be made.
There is but one position in the United
States today-one rule. one law, one
faith. This position is that American
citizenship is the one sufficient title
to privilege. and that the price of diplo-
matte relations with others powers
shall be that free recognition Of this
principle which we grant to them in
turn. The feeble and faltering policy

a CLIMAX. OF Stiffness

Whoever is responsible for trying to
import into the present campaign in
this state the issue of a possible con-
nection between this election and the
seat of Nelson in the United States
senate deserves a gold medal for first
class idiocy. 1t is, indeed mark of
the desperate state in which Repub-
lican affairs have been reduced in Min
neseta when campaigners and news
papers bring themselves to discuss Sc
riously such ludicrous opinion.
Its purpose, of course, is to appeal to
the friends of Senator Nelson and to
get them to vote against Democratic
nominees this year; but even in that
respect it has a double edge. 1t pro-
ceeds upon the assumption that John
Lind is his rival. Now it might be
quite an open question whether John
Lind or Knute Nelson could poll the
larger vote in Minnesota, and Repub-
licans may be more unwise than they
think in suggesting such a possibility
to the people. Be that as 1t may, how
ever, the connection of this projected
ress does not exist.
1t has been shown already that in
number of legislative districts, consti-
tuting a majority of the entire number
in the state, the Republican candidates
are unopposed. If, therefore, it could
be supposed that the Democratic party
would get every vote in Minnesota, ex-
cept one vote in each of these districts,
it would still be in a small minority.
The Republican party might stay away
from the polls, with the exception Of a
few score of voters properly distributed,
and still be in absolute control Of the
next legislature. This being true, there
can be no question Of the political COM
plexion Of Senator Clapp's successor,
and no more bearing in the events of
the next month upon the choice Of a
successor to Senator Nelson than upon
the presidential election in 1908 or any
other year for generation to come.
If there is any injury to Senator Mel
son in this campaign it must come from
one of two sources; first, his very in
discreet certificate of character issued
to r. c. Dunn; and, second, the equally
indiscreet suggestion by his friends to
the voters in this state that John Lind
would make more satisfactory repre-
sentative in the United States senate.
The supporters of Dunn have done a
good many crazy things since this CAM
paign began, and have helped immeas-
urably the Democratic cause. Hardly
any of their performances has been
crazier or more against their own in
terest than the raising of the question
here referred to, absolutely without
possible present force or application as
1t now is.

HIPS Probable Inf uence With Herriok

Would Judge Herrick as governor be
free from Mr.. Hills infiuence-free
enough to be his own man? He says so.
That was the gist of his few remarks
at Albany last night. He is evidently
sensitive on the subject. But it is in
conceivable that any Democrat in that
office would hold aloof from the coun-
sells of man of Mr.. Hills experience
and resources, and the bare fact that
they have for long been such bitter en-
emies suggests that in the full tide Of
reconciliation they might become
chummieF than men who had never
had a difference. Judge Herrick is the
