NEEnLnss pRoTEsrs.

One of the unfortunate results of advance and progress in the worlds affairs is that the adoption of new and improved methods of doing things in- evitably injures those who are foilow- ing the old way. History tells us that when saw mills first made their ap- psarance in England there was such hue and cry raised as almost to amount to a rebellion. The thousands who were engaged in saving lumber by the slow and laborious use of the whip-saws declared that the mills would ruin tfeirs trade and they and their families must suffer. So. too, when the first moving and reaping ma chimes came into use there was objec- tion on the part of the men who were making their living by tho use of reaphook and scythe. for the new plan would throw them out of employment. And we distinctly remember that there were the same complaints made when sewing machines were invented. and 1t was at once seen that as one ma
 
 hands there must naturally come lack of work for those who used the hand methods Of sewing.
 And so 1t has been with all im- proved methods of doing the worlds work. Every invention or discovery which increases the capacity or speed in any direction leaves some out of business, but the march of improve ment is not stayed nor is there any turning back. People adjust themselves to changed conditions and the world moved on. If machine is invented by which one man can do the work that two were doing it follows that one must find something else to do. Nc one now thinks of going back to the whip-saw or the reaping- hook. or of discarding sewing machines. Those who are thrown out because of new in- ventions must adopt new plans. And this reminds us of the following item from an exchange:
 Thousands of London cabmen march ed into Hyde park on Sunday and held a meeting there in protest against the decision of the home secretary that cheap motor cabs, with strictly regu- lated fares, may be introduced In Lon don. They assert that it will take the bread out of their mouths. They de- clare that they are going to make It warm for Herbert Gladstone, the of- lending official. It is, indeed. a shock ing upheaval that is threatened by the prospect that thousands of London ham, soms will soon be retired from use. for ever.
 This protest is perfectly reasonable and equally useless. What has been proposed for London is bound to come in all the cities. Motor carriages Of all kinds are here already and they are bound to increase and bound to remain. They are just as certain to supercede animal carriages. at least to & great degree, as machinery has su- perceded hands in almost everything else That many thousands of cabmen. or hackmen as we call them over here. { will be thrown out of employment is inevitable, but there is no avoiding the result. Protests will not stop the wheels of progress or prevent motors from being used, if, as now seems cer- tain, they are cheaper and better than animal vehicles. The world moves and humanity must move with 1t or be left out.

Teller Declares the TOga Was sold to

 Denver Special to Record-Herald.
 Senator Teller, bent with age and en- feebled by disease, wept this after noon as he denounced the shame of its Legislature had sold a seat Tn the United States Senate to simon Gug- genheim, head of the smelter combine.
 The veteran senator spoke at a con- ference of Democratic leaders of Colo- rado. Tears streamed down his cheeks. and he talked with so much emotion and Yigor that he was too exhausted to attend the Democratic banquet this
 Referring to the recent election of Guggenheim to the Senate, MT. Teller said:
 We have sold the great office that for money. That ought to make every honest man ashamed.r No party tie ought to bind men to a cause which has created such indignation and crit from now you will repeat the sale un- less the State is then Democratic State You will again sell a senator ship, perhaps to some man who has merely been fortunate enough to dis cover a rich mine Awaken the hon est Republicans to the enormity of and we can carry the State. for there are many honest Republicans who are
 The speaker also made a sensational attack on the conduct of President Roosevelt
 "The man at the head of the gov ernment has suspended the laws by his arbitrary methods the senator said We are closer to one-man power than ever before in our history. The head of the government has been just as successful in abrogating some of the laws of our country as if they had been repealed by an act of Con- gress. He has suspended statutes as to the entry of coal and mineral lands"

Busy Day For ortAodox Jews.

New 4ork IFiDune.
 this will be q busy day, because to- morrow at sunset the Feast of the Passover will begin, and for its proper celebration every nook and corner must be cleaned, all table and kitchen service and utensils must be removed and replaced by others which are used only at Pasach time, and the heads of families will make the final prepar- ations for the celebration of the Seder. The stock of unleavened bread and matzoth meal, which for a week will be used instead of bread and flour, has already been stored away ready for use, and today the people will be SUD- piled who are too poor to make the purchase themselves by neighbors, who form clubs for that purpose.
 It has been estimated that 100000 Jews in New York adhere to the old custom of eating no bread in the Pass over week. and that the average con- sumption of matzoth is ten ponnds for each person, or 7,o00,oo0 pounds for the week.
