Shipments of fall goods and collections have improved at various markets. Industry exhibits a lull in some lines, notably iron and steel in It's cruder forms, though the immediate effect of the strike of iron ore miners in Minnesota has been to stimulate tempo rarily at least the demand for pig iron at all markets. Lumber Is quiet, espe- cially at the south, where production is being curtailed and prices are easier as a whole It Is significant, however that one of the country's basic ndustries-coal-is very active at the west with general stocking up reported and good quality bi- luminous coal sells well at the east

New York, July 26.-New York has the greatest supply of water on hand in its Croton system within the his tory of the city.

of habit and mixture Of sentiment

has been crucified on the cross of con-

A storm of Indignation
CnrlStmaS and protest has met the
ExorrisoS recent order Of the New
York board of education
eliminating all references to Christ
or Christmas from the school song
books of New York's public schools.
The fighters on behalf Of sectarianism
are hard at work in their eff
forts to induce the board to rescind it's
action in the matter, and declare that
if unsuccessful, they will take it into
the courts. They urge that the board
has no legal right. Reports say that
the board has somewhat relented. If
this be so, it is matter for deep regret.
The public schools of this country
have right to respect the religious
convictions and principles Of all the
children, and if any portion of the
work be obnoxious to even a minority
element, the rights of that minority
must be upheld and maintained. We
know that there exist many don 't-carc
Jewish parents, and it is just on ac
count of people of this peculiar type
that the hands of those who would as
sert our rights as American citizens
are, in large measure, tied. In spite
of such like individuals, however, we
will persevere in our efforts. The

suffering the necessary and inevitable
changes to come naturally and as

remarkable symposium on conserva-

which is appearing at monthly inter-

than passing interest The compost
ton of the Anglo-.Jewry ministry,
patterned in II measure, after the En-
glish church, differs largely from our
system. The chief rabbi is its virtual
bishop, with almost papal powers.

still room for improvement. The sew

prove valuable for the time being, but
there will have to be very drastic
measures adopted before the Anglo

a correct standard We hope that
symposiums such as these will arouse
our co-religionists of the tight little

and determination, and bring about
the desired development which will be
of incalculable advantage for the
cause and evolution of English Ju-

New York as four-ffths foreign, and
asserted that during each five years

We must boldly protest against such
language. We would emphatically
state that these foreign Jews, for the
most part, bounded and prosecuted,
subjected to every insult and indig-
nifty, possess a higher degree of NOR
ality than the vast majority of other
foreigners who come to these shores,
and when they have doffed the trap

the cream of American culture, are

churches. Perhaps if he would as
simulate his particular phase of Chris
