The Christmas Tree.

The Christmas tree at the
First Baptist church for the Sun
day school was decided success.
Old and young alike took interest
in the affair and much real pleas
ure was had by all who attended.
The large building was filled
when Santa Claus made his ap-
pearance and after a few remarks
began to pull presents from the
beautiful tree. A number of
| winsome maids and fine looking
boys assisted in handing out the
presents which required some
two hours of time. Perfect
order prevailed and all those who
attended were we'll pleased.
Speculation was rife as to the
personality of Santa Claus and
the children could not make out
who he was. but many of the
older people thought they had
heard his voice over the telephone
on several occasions.

What's the Matter With Boston ?

You have got to permit the young men
OF Irish, Italian, Jewish and French
blood to get into business in Boston.

Well. look around you. Look at

What do you see? You see the names
Of old New England families everywhere.
ght-fsted tenacious, these old families
hang on with a grip like death. They
squeeze out and freeze out the ardent
young soul of the Irishman. They pre-
sent cold front to the business enthus-
iasm of the Jew. Young men from the
provinces if they have an English name
are more to their liking than young men
born in Boston of foreign extraction, al
though these young men born in Boston
love Boston and are ready to think and
work and plan for the future of Bos-
ton.
Boston is the only place in the
country, the only place in the world, if
you please, where the Jew has not had
the fullest opportunity for the exercise
of his great natural talents. The atmos-
phere is too cold too hard.
And if the Jew, whose traditions
for ages have developed in him a sound
sense of material values, the Jew who
will bear everything, endure everything,
for the sake of that goal Of larger
freedom which comes with ultimate sue
cess-if the Jew has eound this condi-
ton in Boston, what in heaven s name

Root to the Car

WashingtOn-In consequence of the
agitation in this country against the dis
elimination exercised by Russia against
the Jews who visit that country with
American passports. the secretary Of
state has decided to renew the represen-
tatiOn which his country has made to
the Russian government in favor of
changing the Russian policy Of refusing
to recognize the passports. While there
is no official admission of the facts in
this connection, it is realized that the
State Department is prompted to this
move by the meetings. such as was held
in st. Louis recently, at which the de-
mand was made that this country in
terest itself in the matter.
When Mr.. Straus comes to the Pres
ident s Cabinet there will be the closest
sort of scrutiny of the administration
of the immigration and other laws which
have to do with our international recog-
milton Of race problems.
Demand Before Straus Takes Seat.
1t is an open secret that Mr.. Root de-
sires to renew the movement in behalf Of
Russian Jews now dOmiciled in this cOun-
try desiring to visit friends and relatives
or look after neglected interests in Rus
sia, before Mr.. Straus takes the oath of
office. The administration believes the
urgings Of the United States would be
greatly weakened, if foreign country
was led to believe that the entry into the
Cabinet of a Jewish adviser had any
thing to do with our renewed interest in
the subject. 1t is realized that we have
not strong case to present in our rep
resentations to Russia Russia s answer
