LETTER OF

IA Straightforward Declaration
Of The Principles Of The
Republican Party.
The PRESIDENT STANDS PAT

oyster Bay, N. ". Sept II. -Presi
dent Roosevelt's letter accepting the
Republican nomination for the presi
dency has been made public. II is In
part as follows:
II is difieult to hud out from the ut
terances Of our opponents what are the
real issues upon which they propose to
wage this campaign. 1t is not unfair
to say that, having abandoned most of
the principles upon which they have in
sisted during the last eight years. they
now seem at loss both as to what 1t
is that they really believe and as to
how firmly they shall assert their be-
lief ia anything. IN fact, it Is doubt
full Il they venture resoluteiy to press
d single issue. AS soon as they raise
one they shrink from 1t and seek to
explain 1t away.
The party now In control of the gov
ernment ID troubled by no such diff
culties We do not have to guess at
our own convictions and then correct
the guess II it seems unpopular The
principles which we profess are those
In which we believe with heart and
soul and strength. Men may differ
from us, but they cannot accuse us Of

When we take up the great question
OF the tariR we are at once confronted
by the doubt as to whether our opp0-
nents do or do not mean what they
say. They say that protection is
robbery" and promise to carry them
selves accordingly II they are given
power. Yet prominent persons among
them assert that they do not really
mean this and that IL they come into
power they viii adopt our policy as
Fegaros the tariff, while others seem
anxious to prove that 1t is safe to give
them partial power because the power
would be only partial, and therefore
they would not be able to do mischief.
The last Is certainly curious plea to
advance On behalf Of d party seeking
to obtain control of the government.

say word as u the attempt 70 iden

those two gloves are not alike? How
can wear one of each kind? Go

DECREE OF TALMUDlC LAW.
Wives of Jewish Soldiers All Given
Conditional Divorce.


According to the Jewish World, a
very touching editorial appeared in a
recent issue of the Hebrew Daily
HaZefirah Of Warsaw, Poland, where
the editor, Mr.. Sorolow, calls atten-
ton to the Talmudic law which re-
quires every married man before go
ing on the battlefield to grant con-
ditional divorce to his wife, that she
may remarry II he does not return
within a reasonable time after the
end of the war.
The rabbis Of Lodz have caused all
the Jewish soldiers that left that city
for the seat Of war to grant such d.
vorces, and Editor Sorolow suggests
that the example of Lodz should be
copied all over Russia.
Every married soldier, volunteer or
reserve, registers with rabbi his
name. address, age, height, birth
marks, name of company and regi-
ment he joins, and the rabbi keeps a
record of same until the soldier re-
turns from the war.
If a reasonable time after the close
Of the war elapses and the soldier
does not return, he is counted among
the lost and unidentified dead, and his
wife obtains the divorce from that
rabbi granting her the right to re-
marry.
