This is important. II true. II the Rus
slams are granted the privilege u

to express opinions freely they will
thereby gradually become qualified for
full political liberty. Religious free
dom is the basis Of all freedom. The
countries that now enjoy that greatest

through struggle for the right to free
dom Of thought and expression. Great
Britain and the United States furnish,
in the history OF their development, the
proof Of this II IS on the battle fields

DIVINE RETRIBUTI0N.

God has surely branded with His dis
approval the acts Of the prosecutors OF
His Saints, In the fate that has over
taken them already in this life, as seen
In the records OF history. The Millen-
NAL Star reminds its readers OF the
consequences Of the deeds OF cruelty or
some noted rebels against the AL
mighty. Herod the Great, the slayer OF
the innocents, and first prosecutor OF
Christianity. was overwhelmed with
agonized physical disease; and his nu-
merous family was extinct in a hun
dred years. Pontius PLATE, who con-
demned Christ, was soon after expell-
cd from office. and committed suicide.
Nero, after staying thousands Of Chris
tians, attempted 10 take his own life;
but. falling through cowardice, called
others to his aid. Domitlan was muir
dered by his own people. So was It
with the Emperors Caius, severus, and
Hellogabalus Scarcely one, II any, Of
the prominent prosecutors OF the
Church escaped signal retributon. The
Emperor Claudius was eaten of worms
Decius. Gallus. Aurelian. MaHimian' an
prosecutors Of the Church, died deaths
Of violence. Maximus put out the
eyes Of thousands OF Christians, soon
after which a fearful disease Of the

tiers 10 be sent 20 sea in a snip and

All not to attempt to follow In their
footsteps.

DECLARATIONS OF WAR.

A congress on International law AZ
Client recently adopted a resolution
urging the recognition by all civilized
nations OF the obligation Of govern
ments involved IN disputes to declare
war formally before commencing actu-
al hostilitics. This would be a good
rule. II Il could be enforced. But
often the government really RESPONSE
bic for the breach Of the peace does
not care TO shoulder the responsibility,
and SO tries 10 make II appear that lls
attack is but an act Of defense. When
two powers about TO engage in u war
are. as II were jockeying for the posi-
ton OF the attacked party, there can
be no formal declaration OF war; only
a proclamation making It known that
state Of war exists.
Russia complained OF Japan's sudden
attack upon Port Arthur and Chemul-
90 In 1904, WITHOUT any other warning
than the departing Of the japanese
minister from st. Petersburg. The
fact is. however. that for several years
Japan had prepared for that war. Ever
since Russia stepped in between China
and Japan and took from the latter
country the most important fruits Of
It's victory, the war Of revenge was
planned. Russia could not have been
IN ignorance Of this. The Japanese
themselves did not conceal their in
tentions. Their magazine writers pre-
dicted the war years before 1t came,
and Russian diplomats must have had
inside information that left the UNI
preparedness OF the government with
out excuse. II, however, the rule had
prevailed that formal declaration OF
war must precede hostilities, II Is pos
sible that the war would not have
come For Russia would have had
time to make further promises con-
cerning the evacuation of Manchuria,
and by such promises the war might
have been delayed In the meantime
Russia would have been preparing for
the fray, ard perhaps Japan could have
been induced to submit the contro-
yersy to the Hague Tribunal
II Is doubtful whether the suggestion
Of the Client conference viii be gem
orally accepted. though It's effects un-
doubtedly would be to restrain 70 some
extent the war dogs. Governments
that prefer an appeal to arms TO a
submission to reason and argument,
are not likely TO surrender the prerog-
alive OF commencing war in any man
ner and by any methods that may seem
Of advantage TO them. As long as
there Is no power TO enforce the pro-
visions Of international law that law
will as often be broken as not

HEADACHE FROM HIGH COLLARS
Pail Man Gazette.

That high collors tend 10 produce
nervous headache among both men and
women Is the most recent discovery of
a well known Viennese physician. Quite
accidentally the doctors attention was
directed 10 the very high and very tight
style Of collar worn by the patient who
was always complaining Of headaches
and giddlness The collar was laid
aside, thus removing the compression
Of the neck. and the patients headaches
and giddiness disappeared Struck by
this result the doctor paid particular at
tention TO the kind OF collars worn by
his headache patients" and In very
many instances the change to lower and
easier fitting collars brought imme-
diate relief. In the case OF women
wearing high, stiff neckbands II was
found that doing away with these had
a similarly beneficial result. The doc
tor declares that nobody with any ten
dency 10 headache should wear high
collars.
