ship Of $4,000 and it's headquarters are

needy, burying the dead, helping the
widow and educating the orphan. 10
relieve the members in distress is the
cardinal feature of the order. The MEM
bers help each other, not with feeling
Of pity, but with consciousness that it
is their duty to help-that by so doing
they are performing an act of justice.
In addition to helping it's own members
the order is doing great deal Of outside
charity work. 1t set apart last year
the sum Of $4,000 to help Jewish
hospitals throughout the country. One
third of the above sum was given to the
peal for help to relieve the conditions OF
the Jews in Russia, by the request of the

Atrocities of COssacks

Fresh details Of the horrible atrocities
being enacted upon the Russian Jews by
the soldiers in the realm Of the czar con-
tinue to pour into Denver in the form
Of letters written to Denver Jews by
their relatives in the fatherland
The latest Of these letters to reach
Denver was received yesterday by Abra-
ham Stein, who conducts small black
smith shop at 251O West Colfax avenue.
Stein has three brothers and one sister
residing in the province Of Kief, where
large number Of Jews were stripped Of
their clothing and thrown into the river.
Children were torn limb from limb and
thrown to the dogs, while still others
had the life tramped out of their bodies
by the cruel Cossacks.
The letter was written by Morris
Stein, and contains an appeal for fnan-
cial aid that he may be able to leave the
country with his family of seven chill
dren. He states that the lives Of his
family and himself are constantly in dan
ger. Rocks and other missiles are thrown
through the windows of the house at
night, and it is impossible to secure any
rest.
The police were called upon for pro-
lection, but they refused to interfere.
Another letter received by prominent
Hebrew merchant Of the city, from a
brother in Odessa, tells Of heart breaking
horrors 1t is dated Odessa, October oath,

Swords in War,

For many years tradition has prevailed
among the civilized nations that the sword,
when used as a weapon in war, should
never be sharpened, but should remain a
blunt, non-cutting implement. Just how
this belief started and why it spread is
somewhat difficult to understand. Perhaps
there idea of refining warfare by
dulliug the edge of its most ancient weapon.
At any rate prior to the conflict now raging
in Manchuria no army representing a civ
ilized power has gone into action with
sharpeued swords. The Japanese, however
threw the convention to the winds and en-
gagged the Russians with keen-edged blades,
thereby preserving a Japanese tradition
much older than the other. For ages these
little brown men have been past masters
of workmanship. The samurai were
probably among the most expert wlelders
OF the blade ever known. 1t was altogether
too much to expect people with such a
skill to forego it in contest with larger
and more resourceful foe.
One immediate consequence of the disre-
gard By Japan of the prejudice against the
sharp sword in war is that the United
States has now in a way officially declared
in favor of the keen-edged weapon, and
henceforth, ii is announced, mounted men
may carry blades brought TO an effective
cutting edge, after the oId-time custom of
fighters.
There was never any good reason for
adopting the blunt-edged sword. War is
a cruel, killing work. The business of the
soldier is to render his enemy incapable of
ofense or defense, to wound him beyond
the possibility OF further activity or to
Kill him outright 1t is well established as
vital principle of civilization that if war
must occur the more deadly the arms en-
ployed the better for the world. For the
more effective the arm OF a fighting power
the briefer is the struggle AS well might
the guns of the men in ranks be loaded
with sub-charges of powder capable OF
sending ball merely through the skin of
the human target. as 10 dulI the edge of the

Vice President Fairbanks.

There is news in Indiana that Mr. Fair
banks will be very welcome at the White
House during the next four years, and that
suggestions from him will be expected and
most respectfully considered. 1t is good
news. and should prove of general inter-
est.
1t was Mr. Hobart who. in the first Nc
kinley administration, showed how useful
a capable man in full sympathy with his
chief can make himself in the office of Vice
President He and MIR. Mckinley were in
perfect agreement on public questions, ana
confer ences between them were frequent
In many things each was the complement
of the other Mr. Mckinley was thorough
politician. and had had large experience as
a legislator. Mr.. Hobart was a thorough
business man, and had had large expert
ercc in matters of purely business com
plexion. So that when these two men met
in council each assisted the other with in
formation and views which the other found
of value in che discharge of his official
duties.
Mr.. Fairbanks brings to the Office of Vice
President ampler knowledge of public
questions2and a far wider acquaintance
among public men than Mr.. Hobart pos
sessed. He made excellent record as
senator. He has the high regard of the
leading men of both parties and presiding
over the Senate will bring into play but
a small part of his equipment for political
affairs. His advice will continue to be good,
and why should not his party and the Pres
ident enjoy the benefit of it? Where is
there man better qualified to till the
place of member-at-large of the cabinet?
In fact it was his thoroughness, his cool
headedness and his sagacity which recon-
mended Mr.. Fairbanks for the Office he
now holds
This news may be used and seized by those
who are already discussing the next presi-
Dental race Mr.. Fairbanks is generally
feckoned as factor in that contest. But that
is very much in the future. Present pros

connection with the botanical studies which
form a regular feature of the school work

Apart from the educational and esthetic

Venezuela and Sanuo Domingo.

An attempt has been made in the course
of the criticism OF the Santo Domingo
treaty now pending before the Senate to
draw invidious comparisons between the
attitude of the United States toward the
island republic and it's bearing toward Ven
ezuela and the European powers which re-
Gently sought to collect their debts by way
of a bombardment oil the coast cities. 1t
has in this connection been asserted that
the United States gave it's express permis-
sion for such an assault upon Venezuela.
This, it is known, Is absolutely erroneous.
No express permission to lombard the
cities of Venezuela was sought or given.
When the German ambassador at this cap
ital brought the subject of the German
claims against Venezuela to the attention
of the United States government, he said:
If the Venezuelan government contin-
ueS to decline before, 1t would have
to be considered what measures of coer-
clon should be used against it, But
we consider it of Importance to let first
of all the government of the United States
know about our purposes so that we can
prove that have nothing else in view
than to help those of our citizens who have
suffered damages. We declare es
peciaily that under circumstances do
consider in cur position the acquisition
OF permanent occupation of Venezuelan ter
i'itory.
In answer the President said:
This (Monroe) doctrine has nothing to
do with the commercial relations of any
American power, save that it in truth al
lows each of them to form such as it de-
sires. We do not guarantee any state
against punishment il it misconducts itself;
provided, that that punishment does not
take the form OF acquisition of territory
by any non-American power.
These statements suffice to draw a clear
distinction between the two instances of
American intervention. The United States
guarantees state protection against pun
ishment when it misconducts itself, and
yet when ii is in straits and wishes sin
cerely 10 extricate itself and to be truly
free and prosperous, it lends assistance to
that end. A false reading of the record
would have this country stand between the
South American republics and their OPP
ponents in every instance, whatever the
Offense, under a strained Interpretation of
the Monroe doctrine, and refuse to extend
the hand of necessary aid on that same
principle whenever internal conditions cou-
pied with foreign pressure threaten to cause
chaos and the utter decentralization of
American interests.

Railroad Rates.

The Economic Club of Boston at a dinner
last evening discussed the Presidents rail-
road policy. Among the guests and speak
ers We're Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner Prouty and President Wilcox of the
Delaware and Hudson River Railroad Com
pany. The following is taken from press
report of the function:
Mr.. Prouty defended the proposed ma
tional legislation, and, referring to the
criticism that legislators were not always
competent business men. said that while a
certain amount of expert knowledge was
necessary in the proper regulation of rail-
road tariffs. the questions to be decided,
though requiring good judgment, were not
difficult of compre hension to one habitually
engaged in hearing them.
Mr.. Wilcox vigorously opposed the in
reference of the government in the rate
question, and declared 1t impossible for a
small body of men at Washington to prop
ery dictate what the railroad rates of the
country should be. The remedy for existing
evils lay, he said, in thorough enforce
ment of the present statutes.
The argument employed by Mr. Wilcox
has done duty in other matters. Whenever
the tariff is taken up for revision we are
told that the question cannot be satisfac-
torily dealt with by politicians. Why turn
over to eight or ten men without business
connections experience the task of pre-
pairing a bill which is to touch business in
terests of so many kinds and of such enor-
nous values? What do sucn men know
about such matters? Who would set
matchmaker to cobbling shoes, or a cobbler
to making a watch?
AS a matter of fact these eight or ten men
do not proceed upon their own knowledge
of the tariff and its ramifcations. They
represent a popular sentiment which has
demanded tariff revision. and as legislators
they are executing a commission. Their
first step is to inform themselves from ex-
pert and business sources of the whole
situation Both sides are heard, the man
who proposes and the man who opposes
action. And even after bill has been
drawn and reported to the House the in
vestigation upon practical lines still con-
tinues. No tariff bill ever becomes law
Without passing through the fires of the
closest examination Of friends and foes
alike
NO tribunal would fix railroad rates in
any case without first hearing both sides.
It's members need not be experts in rail-
road traffic. They will be able to command
such advice as is necessary to enable them
to grasp technicalities. The main point
will be to commission for the work men
