RELIGION OF UNITED STATES
DR.. Edward Everett Hale Says it Con-
sists of EccIesinsticism and
Not Service.

BOSTON, May Sl-At the forty-eighth
annual convention of the Free Religious
Association of America today Rev, Edward
Everett Hale gave the principal address
He said. in part:
MY four years in Washington have given
me an excellent opportunity to study the
religion of America and find that it con-
sists of ecclesiasticism and not service.
There were forty-eight religious con-
ventions in the city during the last session
of congress-twelve weeks-and all that
was attempted or done was to perpetuate
the life of themselves. Ecclesiasticism
stops progress all the world over: the
thing they ought to seek is progressive
religion.
Washington is a city of four corners
The southeast is occupied by negroes
whose death rate is twenty-one in 1000
while the northwest is for gentlemen, the
death rate being fourteen. 1 know but one
church in America which addresses itself
to the business of caring for the southeast
SO that 1t shall have an equal chance with
the northwest
My dream is that in every large city
there could be opened In its center a build
ing with the sign Kingdom OF Heaven 1
would have the pulpit supplied with strong
men OF various creeds-the Roman Catholic
beside the Salvation Army captain-and
have the various churches responsible for
filling the pulpit with their best men,"

SAN FRANCISCO. May H,-The first rift
in the series OF strikes and unsettled labor
conditions which have overshadowed San
Francisco for many weeks occurred today
when the strike of 1900 ironworkers was

Union Ironworks, the Fulton Ironworks
and all the foundries, machine shops and
ironworks. not only In San Francisco but
in all the bay cities. The men return to
their work upon the same conditions OF
hours and wages as prevailed when they
struck and which shall remain in effect for
eighteen months.
The committee from the Metal Trades

however, conceded that. commencing De
cembeT l. 1908, there shall be a reduction
OF fifteen minutes in the working day every
six months until an eight-hour day is
reached.

which we object come from dirty. filthy
farms and 1t naturally follows that the
dairy herds from which most OF them
come are diseased The danger to the
public by consuming milk and other dairy
products from the tubercular cows and
cows suffering from other diseases would
be appalling IL It were generally known.
The farmers who are responsible for this
condition of AFFAIRS have no incentive to
keep their farms clean and their herds
free from disease so long as they are
paid full value for diseased animals sent
to the market for slaughter, but when
cattle are bought subject to inspection
after death every farmer who has been
criminally negligent will Immediately clean
up his place and take measures to keep
disease out of his herd"

LIGHT ON RUSSIAN HISTORY
of Alexander II Pre-
vented FORMULATION of Consti-
tuition Many Years Ago.

ST. PETERSBURG. May s1ys7A number
of important letters written by the late
Constantine Pobeidonostseff, while pro-
curator of the Holy Synod are now ap-
pearng in the Archive, the leading his
torlcal journal OF Russia. These particular
letters deal with momentous events imme-
diately following the asss ssination of Alex
ander II. and shed new light on the fate
of the constitution that had been drafted
by Loris .Melikon,
The great mass Of Pobeidonostseff's cor
respondence is deposited under seal in the
Rumaintseff Historical museum OF Mos
COW. and according to the will Of the
former procurator general these documents
may not be published for ten years. but
copies of the present letters, which are ad-
dressed to Motutchieff were given by
Pobeidonostseff In 1895 to the editor OF the
Archive, with the understanding that they
be published posthumously.
It has been fairly well established that
Alexander II. at the time Of his assassina-
tion was about to proclaim the constitu-
tion drafted by Melikoff, who was then
virtual dictator Of Russia establishing
parliamentary institutions in the empire
The death of the emperor was even as
cribed to reactionary plot that had for
it's ultimate object the prevention of the
PRONUNCIATION OF constitution. Pobeido-
nostseffs letters fully confirmed the ex-
istence OF this constitution and gave COM
plete and authentic details OF the intrigues
following the accession TO the throne of the
successor OF Alexander H., as the result of
which Pobeidohostseft succeeded in deferr-
ing the establishment OF representative
government in Russia for a quarter OF a
century, or until Alexander ii. created the
present Parliament in 1906
