AMERICA A REFUGE.

There arrived In New York the
other day forty Jewish children
whose parents We're murdered I'm .e
cent Russian masacres. Wea,,ay
New York Jews paid for the passage
of the orphans To this country and
made arrangements for homes for
them.
The immigration officers said these
children could not be permitted to
stay in this country, but must he sent
back To the desolation and hopeless
ness from which they came.
Among the excluded classes OF inn
migrants are those who are likely
to become public charges" and the
officials see fit TO hold that these
children come under. that classified
tion. Some OF the most eminent and
thoroughly responsible men ANA wo-
men of this country have protested,
declaring that these children will
never be permitted to become public
charges. but will be taken into good
American homes and be made into
good American citizens Fortunately
the higher officials at Washington
have overruled the decision TO send
these orphans back to Russia.
III this law We're inhexible, then Il
would be a disgrace to the United
States, and the sending OF these or
phans back to lives of misery and de-
spair ought to blister with shame the
cheek OF every liberty-loving Ameri-
can.
AS the ca 'ry'ag back children of
murdered parents back to the scene
"f their pareds murder. because
this greater nation OF ours has no
place for them-as this ship passes
out of the bay the greater Bartho!di
statue of liberty ought TO fall from
her pedestal and bury her face IN the
earth.
What must the world think OF
us?-what must We think OF Oursel.
ves?-if We say TO the LITTLE child
fleeing from the Cossack's naked
sword red with the blood OF it's father
and mother. "Hou can't come ia here,
go back TO death OF lifelong des-
pair -
We need those children In this
country quite as much as they need
us.
1t is from the children If the poor
and the victims OF oppression that
this country's greatness has sprung.

Who is so blessed with foresight as
to tell, or even guess, what is to be
the destiny OF child?
In its little head and heart and
hands are concealed the most un-
scrutable of earth's mysteries. the
most immeasurable OF earth's posi-
bilitIes.
At the worst, We can make no mis-
take to the spirit and traditions that
have made this nation loo cod tO AS a
haven OF refuge and opportunity for
the oppressed OF the world
A public charge" such as that of
forty orphans seeking refuge from
murder Is one that the generous peo-
pie OF the United States would gladly
assume.

argued that the medicine which was
40 good for their woman friends and
ncighbors was equally good for the
women Of the whole world.
The Pinkhams had no money. and
little credit. Their first laboratory
was the kitchen, where roots and
herbs were stepped on the stove,
gradually filling q gross of bottles.
Then came the question of selling
IL, for always before they had given
it away freely. They hired o job
printer to run Off some pamphlets
setting forth the merits of the medi.

Boston, New York. and Brooklyn.
The wonderful curative properties Of
the medicine We're, TO n great extent,

mand gradually increased.
In 1877, by combined efforts the fam

that time the growth and success Of
the enterprise were assured, until to-
day Lydia +. Pinkham and her Vege-
table Compound have become house

tons of roots and herbs are used annu-

Lydia f. Pinkham herself did not
live 10 see the great success of this
work. She passed TO her reward years
ago, but not till she had provided
means for continuing her work as
effectively as she could have done it
herself.
During her long and evcntful cxpe-
