The Revolving Russian.

Is it to be the Unspeakable Russ? Is The
czar's Muscovite subject to become the type
of the brute. beast-man, murderous fanatc'
mad incendiary? Must we revise our esti-
mate of the Turk and apologize for having
for so many years held him up to view as
the limit of human vileness, while so near
at hand lurked the demon spirit in the
breasts of people of the Christian faith?
Recent reports from Russia certainly sug-
gest these thoughts. Such cruelties were

terrible scenes of carnage and outrage. is
too shocking for full absorption. Every
day adds to the horrors and to the con-
victon that the Russian government. with
all it's boasted strength. is today either
impotent in the face of this great crisis, or
is secretly conniving at reprisals upon the
Jews and other classes.
The fanaticism of the Russian lacks the
virtue of being sngle-minded. He attacks
these people of another faith not solely be-
cause they worship God in a different man.

have prospered where he has failed. The
Turk shouts Allah IL Allahr' and Stays
with the heart of the defender of the faith.
The Russian roars forth his hatred of the
Jews and slays and steals and burns for
personal revenge.
Horror is pling upon horror throughout
the entire southern portion of Russia. AT
Odessa thousands have been slain and mil
lions in values have been destroyed or
stolen. At Bachmut, in Bessarabia. a muir
derous campaign lasting three days was
waged against the Jews. with the police
virtually leading the attacks. In Moscow
ugly rumOrs are spreading. and the Hebrew
residents are living in hourly dread of a
storm that may break with unprecedented
violence.
The President of the United States has
been appealed to by leading Hebrews of

mark of the beast. He has replied in
effect, that the government can take 10
step to this end. the matter being wholly
within the province of the established ad-
ministration of Russian affairs. The United
States is on record in the matter. however,
in its proffering of a petition to the st.
Petersburg authorities emphat ticaIly pro-
testing against the Kishineff outra ges. and
asking for the safeguarding of the Hebrew
subjects of the Czar That petition was not
received. but its effect was undoubtedly felt
in Russia. In view of the rejection of the
former overtures the United States cannot.

screens In front of its building, just as soon
as the conditions permit. The returns be-
gin to arrive shortly after the closing or
the polls, which in New York Will be at five
o'clock. In the course of an hour and a

faded to allow the use of the stereoptlcons
and it is expected that the bulletins will
make their appearance on the screens be-
fore seven. With the use of the motion pic
ture machine there will be plenty of enter
tainment at all hours.
The returns will be displayed immedia teIy

wires, running directly into the editorial
rooms of The Star. and also over the tele-
phone. The display will be continued until
all the points of interest have been settled
or until there is no hope of getting definite

Cuba and Sanitation

turned over by the President to Secretary
Root, who has ordered an Investigation
IL Is as important to the Cubans as to our-
selves that the facts be gathered and fairly

aseertainment Of the conditions and in ap-
plying whatever correctives may appear
necessary.
We must all agree. however. that we do
not come into the case with the strength
We formerly possessed. The recent experi-
ence at New Orleans revealed us in the
Hight of great remIssness about our own
health affairs. Several grave charges were
made after the fever became the subject
of controversy in the Crescent City. One
was that 1t had been introduced by an al
most criminal negligence in fayoring tho
tropical fruit trade with Central America
Another was that the fever had existed in
the town to the knowledge of certain people
for weeks before public disclosures were
made.
As TO the foul conditions OF the streets
and private premises in the poorer quarters
when the work of lighting the disease be-
gan the most abundant proof appeared
They were appalling, Gen. Butler himself
hardly had bigger job forty odd years ago
IN cleaning up. Days and even weeks
were necessary to remove the heaps or
disease-breeding dirt and garbage which
had collected in that part of the town

Foot-Pads at Work.

\ highway robbery is always shocking
affair in a city like Washington. Somehow
this crime is associated in the mind with
the open country, the lonely places of the
suburbs, the dark roads. But the footpad
as a matter of fact does occasionally ply
his criminal trade In the heart of the city,
as last nights affair in the northwestern
section attests The thief lurked In q sha-
dowed part of the street and attacked his
victim when no one else was in sight. His
work was easily done, for he had a woman
TO deal with and she was taken unawares.
This is the first serious street theft of tho
season. 1t VIII probably not be the last,
for the winter forces certain class or
ne r-do- wells into crime. They regard the
unprotected woman as their natural pro-
wider of means. and they do not hesitate
even to hold up men whom they find walk

nightfall.

England's Great Problem.

Pessimists may predict that the visit OF
a delegation of wives of the UNEMPLOYED
OF London to Premier Balfour asking for
assistance presages great events In
English history as did the march of the wo-
men TO Versailles before the fun fury of
the French revolution burst upon France.
There is interesting likeness in the two
spectacles. and an emphatic unlikeness
Beneath both OF these two demonstrations
may be found the same problem the in
ability of large masses of people to make
living But general conditions in Eng
land today are Numerically different from
those In France in 17s9
The leading British sociologists agree
that there is no more urgent question be-
fore the government than the disposition
OF the unemployed OF London and the
other large cities of the country They
are regarded as a symptom rather than as
a disease. Their numbers are constantly
growing. despite the efforts of charitable
agencies and employment bureaus. The
idle gravitate to London as naturally as

ROYALTY and America.
