NO DEFENsE FOR HIM. he Philadelphia Records says:

The allegation Is now made that eleven corporations Tn New fork clty paid into the Roosevelt campaign fugq which in So far as the contributions of the great life insurance companies are concerned is already Il matter oI B Parker was right in denouncing the solicitation and use Of corporation money in the Presidential campaign Tn aba abat '1 theodore as spRlt pRoosevelt was wrong in Mir. Rooseveit may have been misin- formed; but he can now resdiiy ortsvaS ascepr or Chairman Bliss. It is not too late TOT him to make acknowledgement Of his error and to bring his weight to bear The. corrupt use of. money to deter mine the result of elections Is crime that strikes at the very root or free government
 It is true that when Judge Parker made his charges he was not pre- pared to furnish detailed evidence to support his allegations. and to that extent he may have been at fault. but that does not change the situation in any material, way. MT. Roosevelt was no better fortified with evidence than the Judge was. He made his denial in a manner that was premature and positive, and was highly unjust and offensive to the Judge. In his usual impuisive and clustering manner he accused Judge Parker of lying, and made the accusation without knowing his ground.
 The upholders and supporters of Mr. Roosevelt try to defend him by say ing that he felt outraged that such a grave charge should be publicly made by one occupying Judge Parker's posi- ton, and that he denied it on his own responsibility without waiting for evi- dence that the charge was not true If that was a valid defense at the time it has long ceased to have any value. because ample evidence has been produced to show that Parker was right As soon as he learned that he had done Judge Parker a grave in- justice he should have apologized. as brave and honorable man will do when he finds himself wrong. He has not seen proper to do so and there is no defense for him.

the Christian religion that this money comes from all sects and denomina- tions. all shades of religious belief in aid of a sorely stricken people. In the words of The New York Commer- cial: Never before in history has such a worldwide movement been consummated. It is no less rebuke of the nations to Russia than a token of substantial sympathy to the strick- en Jews It is a strong testimonial of the interest that the peoples of the world have in the internecine affairs of Russia. Russia stays her subjects ruthlessly; the charitable of the world contribute millions to alleviate the suf- ferings of the survivors.
 while this relief is going on Russia stands condemned in the eyes of the world, for in silence the government permits outside help to come to the outraged Jews, but offers no contribu- tion itself. It will be difficult to be- lieve that the Russian government did not connive at these massacres. Ger tainly by proper measures it could have prevented them. There will be one good effect resulting from them. The Jews will be given courage to re- sist. They are Justified in armed re- sistance and organization against a government that suffers them to be massacred. abused and pillaged. More- over. when they reapze that they have the sympathy of peoples everywhere, regardless of race or creed. it will add force to their purpose to protect them selves"

To be musical artiste has it's draw backs as we'll as it's compensations Here's Jan Kubelik going about with his hands in a nun to preserve the Aexibility of his fingers for the violin. and here's Miss DeForrest Anderson re- training from Kisses to preserve the fiexibslity of her lips for the flute.

A HORRIBLE sUGGEsTIoN.

That is horrible suggestion, com ing from a woman, that is made by a young lady in Ohio. Her mother is a hopeless invalid, and this shame to her sex made application to the family physician to be allowed to ehloroform the mother as a means of putting an end to her sufferings, and. we have right to infer, to put her out of the way.
 It is not very uncommon of late to find so-called- scientists advocating putting one to a painless death, and we always feel that there Is some- thing wrong in the moral or mental makeup of a man who would seriously advocate the taking of human life merely because the physician thinks death is certain in any event. There are cases in which a practitioner cam but all who have kept up with such matters know that doctors are mis- taken in this, as they sometimes are in diagnosing disease. The doctor is not infallible, and most of us know of recoveries where death had been pronounced inevitable.
 We also know that physicians, in order to relieve excruciating and in tolerable pain, sometimes take risks iii administering anesthetics, but that a physician should deliberately chloro- form a patient for the purpose of pro- ducing death looks very much like murder. The case is infinitely more shocking when the would-be life-taker is a woman and the sufferer is her own mother. We think most people will agree with us that this young woman should be examined for evidences of irrnniA,,

The LouisviIle Courier-Tourra, o,o,

The Louisville Journal quotes q Republican organ as somewhat boastfuily declaring that none of the engineers find any physical reason why the Panama canal cannot be con structed." Is not that a somewhat childish cause of satisfaction? After nearly two years of time and many millions of dollars have been spent we are to consider 1t cause for thank fulness that the engineers have not pronounced the project physically im- possible. Truly some of the organs are hard up for comfort.

SEPARATION or CHURCHES.
Negro Presbyterians Will Form syms
 Of Their Own.


 Of Their Own.
 Knoxville, Tenn, Dec. 5.-The first step taken in the Presbyterian church of the Northern Assembly. looking to separate church machinery for the ne- gro members, was taken here today when the negro churches of the synod of Tennessee formed separate Presby- teries and the, synod endorsed a me- morial to the next general assembly to allow a separate synod to be formed for negro churches in the same terri tory as now covered by the synod of Tennessee.
 At the last meeting of the general Assembly a law was passed allowing the formation of two synods in the same territory. the law having in view the separation of the races. By sep aration, the colored churches will have more responsibility, greater represen- tation in the general assembly and their usefulness may be enlarged. The synod of Tennessee covers a large DOT tion of Tennessee and parts of Ala bama, North Carolina and southwest Virginia.
