Many thought that tho scenes in st.
Petersburg were but the opening of n
revolution similar to the tragedy that
hathed France in blood. There was lit
tie similarity between the two.
In Russia we have on the one side the
nobility; the rich and powerful. On the
other side, the poor and ignorant. who
have never had any voice in govern
ment nor single right that the throne
was bound to respect. The line is sharp
ly drawn. The ruling class has soldiers
and the will TO use them. In France
the people had been given a taste of
government in the assembling of the
States General. They wanted more of it.
Not only that, but in their ranks were
many men and women of the titled class
who believed that the governed should
have a hand i'll government. that the
power of the monarch should he strictly

a mild-mannered individual. without any
great amount of force. Leaving the jus

had the soldiers and the nerve to use
them, as they were used in st. Peters

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT ADOPTS
RIGOROUS MEASURES

forms Pledged in Proclamation Is
sued by Trepoff In St. Petersburg.

While at the time this is written the
military evidently have the situation in
st. Petersburg well in hand, advices say
that great excitement exists through
out the country. Gen. Trepoff, the
new Governor General of St Peters
burg, has been given absolute authori-
y over the military and police, and
even vested with the power of exile,
and it is evident that the govern
ment is dealing firmly with the situa-
ton. Many persons have been ar
rested, among them being Maxim
Gorky, the author and reform leader,
who, the Associated Press is privately
informed, was taken into custody at
his home at Riga. A notice was posted
at all the works in st. Petersburg CIV
ing the strikers twenty-four hours to
return to work and intimating that
those who do not comply will be de-
ported to the villages.
Governor General Trepoff and Min
lister Of Finance KokOvseff issued a
proclamation which reveals the gov

The dry cocaine has laid such
hold on the natives of India that the
authorities are making strenuous ef-
forts to prevent its unrestricted dis
tributiOn.
Within the last few ye3rs a ship
ment of cocaine worth a lac of rupees
(S333 ,33W was shipped to Calcutta, and
the excise department interviewed, with
the result that the cocaine had to be
sent back to England.
The results of taking cocaine regu.
larly for any length of time are dread
full. The immediate effect is a de-
lightful feeling of languor, the ulti-
mate effect is the ruin Of mind aad
body.
In Europe and America the drug is
usually taken by injection, but the In
dian found another method. Pan na-
supari'' was kind OF native chewing
gum. 1t consisted of leaf smeaIed
with lime and rubbed with areca nat,
cloves and various aromatics. Tlren
the native added cocaine and found
"pan supari" an excellent means Of
taking the drug.
The abuse of cocaine by the natives
grew to such an alarming extent that
two years ago a measure was intro
duced prohibiting the sale except by
licensed persons. Native Offenders
against the law have been prosecuted
in large numbers.

tiouists.
While the British government has not
openly offered any aid to the revolution
lists, the leaders i'll the foreign office have
let it be known that they would welcome
a change in the form of the Russian
government. That the sympathies of
King Edwards advisers is with the revo-
lutionists is further shown by the speech
of the war secretary. Mr.. Arnold Fors-
ter, at Croydon, in which he expressed
the sympathy of the people of the United
Kingdom with the people of Russia.
In addition to all this the foreign office
announces that it views the situation in
Russia with alarm and believes that
while the present uprisings will be sup
pressed. Il change in the form of the
Russian government is inevitable as Il re-
suit of the march of the people toward
the winter palace and the consequent
slaughter by the Cars soldiers
This official confidence in the prospec-
tive demolition Of Russian Bureaucracy
tends stronger than anything else to con-
vince the British people that its govern
ment is prepared To lend IFS support to
the cause of the revolutionists in way
that will do the most good.

for the ministry. There Is q slight
back-set at the present time. but it is
not so great as has occurred in other
years, and reports of attendance Of
students in the theological seminaries,
when compared with similar reports of
twenty-five years ago. show a marked
and marvellous increase.
In some quarters there is deteri-
Grafton in the quality of students, but
the reports are not altogether unani-
nous. Methodists and Episcopalians
report a decided increase in numbers
and in quality, and other religious
bodies vary in localities and colleges
in this respect.
There is a marked change in the
sources of supply. The West and
South provide a much larger proper
ton of students than the East. The
response is greater in the newer re-
than in the city, in the small churches
than in the larger. There is also a
steadily increasing drift away from
the seminaries located in the country
to those that are located in or near
the large cities.
The chief causes keeping young men
from the ministry are the poverty of
the calling. the fear of the lack of
intellectual and moral freedom, the

A short time ago inquiry came from
the union forces TO know if Mr.. Post
would keep stir if they couid call
off the boycott on Postum and Grape
Nuts.
This is the reply: 1.-The labor trust

because We would not join its GRIM

can citizens and differ from the labor
union plan in that we do no. force
people to strike. picket, boycott. as
sault, blow up property or commit
murder.
We do not pay thugs $50 ts break
in the ribs of any man who tries to
support his family nor $50 for an eye
knocked out.
We try to show our plain, honest
regard for sturdy and Independent
wOrkmen by paying the highest wages
in the State.
We have a steady, unvarying respect
for the law abiding peaceable union
man and most earnest desire to see
him gain power enough to purge the
unions Of their criminal practices that
have brought down upon ttem the
righteous denunciation of q long-Suf-
fering and outraged public, but We
will not fawn, truckle. bend the knee,
wear the hated collar of white slavery,
the union label. nor prostitute our
American citizenship under ''orders"
of any labor trust.
You offer to remove the restriction
on our business and with union" gold
choke the throat and still the voice
raised in stern denunciation Of the deS-
potism which tramples beneath an
iron shod heel, the freedom of our
brothers.

The public should remember that
there are few Labor Unions conduct

as they are worthy, they have won
esteem, for we, as people, are strong
ly in sympathy with any right act that
has for its purpose better conditions
for wage workers. But we do not for
get that we seek the good OF all and
not those alone who belong to some
organization, whereas even the lazy
abiding unions show unden.able evil
dences of tyranny and oppression
when they are strong enough, while
many of the unions harbor ard en:our-
age criminals in their efforts to force
yoke of slavery upon the American
people. As a public speaker lately

King that reused the fiery sloQuence
