President Roosevelt's appeal for assist

Japan should meet with a generous re-

more good by sending money and pro-

than by sending troops to make war

coNnIrIoNs IN RUSSIA.

The news coming over the wires from Russia is disc ,urag'ng to all who 5s- leive in human liberty. When first the movement for constitutional govern ment was put in motion and it seemed that the people of that country were determined to secure at least porti ,n of that freedom iha. all men are ent; tied to, the indications were at least hopeful Concessions were made by the Czar and his ministers which looked as if they recognized the inevitable and would bow to fate and the saiiit of revolt that was rising throughout the gerat nation. There were evidences that the Czar himself Was willing tn yield portion of his absolute author ity and allow the people. through their representatives to take part in the mak- ing and executing of laws.
 The reports from that country plain ly indicate that all hopes of reace and ed. at least for the time The outlook now means outbreaks. bloodsAcd and carnage. The people all over Russia have seen at least the semblance of liberty within their reach. They have seen what they looked on as the be- ginning of a movement for freedom, and were looking forward to the time when they would live under a cohsti- tutionaI form of government and feel some of the blessings of human lib- erty, such as some other European peo- pie were enjoying, but that hope seems whatever the fuVre nay have i-- store for them.
 And among the greatest sun srers in all that great country will be the al- ready much oppressed Jews. In every autocratic nation, almost wish oIt tx- ception. these people have 't:arlIly been the oppressed of all nations, anl in few countries has their lot been herdel than in Russia. In that natiod 1t ma Y be truly said that the hand of every man is against them. From that coun | try we have had an almost continuous report of massacres. expressions and outrages against the unfortunate and sorely tried Children of Israel. Tn hardly a country in the world with any semblance or pretence of religious toll eration have any people sustained more intolerance. oppression and injustiee than have the Jews of Russia. and il Is safe to predict that the apparent | failure of all semblance of civil and religious liberty will make their con- dition infinitely worse. If the people of Russia had succeeded In establish. | ind and maintaining constitutional form of government 'it is hardly to b' doubted that the condition of the Jew; would have improved. as has been thu case in other countries where autocra cy has been overthrown, but the pros
 pect now is that their condition may b. even worse than heretofore.
 But when we come to consider thu clements composing the great Russian nation we can hardly feel surprised a

DRUNKEN MEN ON CARS.

The courts of Connecticut have had before them the subject of a drunken mans rights on street cars man on one of these cars, while too we'll loaded to look out for his own safe ty. was injured in some way and the company was sued for damages. The injured mans lawyers put in the plea that 1t is the duty of street car company. through it's employees, ''to take especial and particular care of a drunken passenger, so that he will come to no harm by reason of his lnebriety."
 This was the maip argument used in the claim for damages. The case went to the Supreme Court and that body refused to admit the plea. The judge who delivered the opinion held that the man who gets on a car, carrying Q jag with him. lis entirely and solely responsible for his drunken condition" and said that the man who boards or tries to board a car while drunk is himself to blame, because, as the judge expressed it. it isn't exercising. reasonable care for him to fuddle his brain and weaken his muscles with alcohol"
 That decision knocked out the claim for damages, and 1t is causing con siderable discussion. We have heard 1t claimed that providence takes care of drunken men. and we have seen and heard of many instances where a man while drunk escaped dar~9r where a sober man would have been killed or seriously injured. Many of us have seen men riding horseback when they were so thoroughly drunk that they had no control of the animal and no knowledge of where they were going, yet they would reach home in safety and perhaps fall off at their own gate with as little hurt as a rub Der ball would sustain. Such exam ples strengthen the belief that prov'- dence or something else cares for them while they are totally incapable of caring for themselves.
 But if a man is not in a condition to take care of himself, and providence fails to look out for him when he is on the street car, how far is the con ductor or the motorman responsible for his safety? He may assume that the conductor should assist him to get on or off. but that is about all that can fairly be expected of him. Obviously he cannot. without neglectIng his duty. remain by the man and watch over him. and If he does not do that the man is liable to get hurt at any time and no one to t,--~ hut himself 1T the plea of the lawyers in the Con- necticut case should be accepted gen orally every street car must have an extra man on it to look out for the booze-carriers and take care of them We should not be surprised to find the courts decision accepted as just and fair. and if so it is plainly up to the man to keep of street cars. while he is not in a condition to look out for himself.

That Is, 1t Is hard to explain 1t on any other theory than that one was pulled out and the other had no influence to pull him.
