very moment there were races of men
far more numerous than the Jews.
which had their civilization and their
systems Of government, and Of whom
records are preserved antedating this
event thousands Of years. These races
were not selected as custodians of the
truth, 1t is reasonable to assume, sim
ply because they had not reached that
degree of development which justified
the divine confidence. They had religion
suitable to their capacity, and it would
have been idle to undertake a system of
PROSECUTING. There is no more striking
example in the records of time that the
Almighty adapts the divine truth to the
capacity of His creatures than the
selection of single race of people for
It's repository which is fitted to receive
it
Before the advent OF Jesus there
were great races enjoying a degree of
civilization more or less advanced,
which IN some mysterious way had be-
come possessed of great religions.
Their religions contained many of the
truths of revelation, and were singular
ly well adapted to the character and
temperament of these races. 1t would
be arrogant to assert that the Almighty
had not in His own way revealed to
these people more or less of divine
truth. In fact, so admirably were these
religions fitted to these peoples it is
scarcely presumption to say that God
had revealed to them as much as was
good for them. These races exist to
the present moment. They have multi
piled tremendously, until today they
number eight hundred million souls
fully as much as the inhabitants of all
Christendom.
When Jesus said preach the gospel to
them it is natural to infer that He in
cluded them along with all mankind.
1t is on this account that the Christian
church has spent SO many millions of
dollars-a sum in the aggregate which
would civilize every man, woman and
child in Europe and America. These
peoples cling to their own religions, and
as they have developed through the
centuries they have undoubtedly purifi-
ed those religions, but as compared
with Christianity they are Seeing
through a glass darkly." Unfortunate
ly, the great bulk of them--so many of
them, in fact, as to suggest practical
unanimity-do not care to see anv
clearer. They resent the efforts to
convert them. The resentment is pas
sive and exhibited only by dislike at
ordinary times and under ordinary con-
ditions, but as soon as there is a NOM
entary flare Of patriotism their resent
ment becomes active. In the few spots

trust is given a place the delegation sent from
this State to the Denver convention.
1t coincdent with the discovery of the
spracy of the trusts against Mr. Bryan that the Jack
Mormon Democrats of Idaho became exceedingly
active in their efforts to secure control of the
venton that is to elect delegates to the National
Democratic convention. That they are the friends
of the Mormon church and that they would direct
the Twin Falls convention in the interest of the
church, should they gain control, they openly admit.
They have probably identified innocent Democrats
with their movement by giving them plausible story
of their alleged aims and intentions. 1t is not too
late for such Democrats to honoraby withdraw from
the alliance and labor in good faith for the nomina
ton of Mr. Bryan.

The Administration Sustained.

1t has been decided by majority vote of the
members of the Senate committee military af-
fairs that certain unidentified negroes, members of
the Twenty-ffth United States Infantry engaged in
a shooting ARRAY the night of August 1914 at
Brownsville, Texas
If the Senate adopts the report of the commit
tee, President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft will be
sustained in act by which three companies of that
regiment discharged without honor as pen
atty for an ofense committed by not more than
half dozen of their number
The Senate may so decide, but senatorial votes
cannot make right out of wrong. Should any civil
court nfict punishment all the members of a
certain portion of town or city because a few of
the residents of that particular section had COM
mtted a crime the higher court and public senti-
ment would Immediately declare that there
warrant of law or justice for such an infection
Nearly all of the soldiers so discharged were of
excellent character according to the record Placing
the stigma of dishonor upon such men will not
mend the service to the youth of the land stimu-
late the numerical growth of the army.

Financial Legislation.

The upper house of Congress is still engaged in
termittenty upon what some of its members beguile
themselves into believing is bill for the relief of
the financial condition of the country and for relief
of any future stringency that may present itself
The measure under consideration is called the
Adrich bill. The country has been viewing it with
suspicion ever since it was incubated in the nest
of the special representative of the money trust of
the financial center of the Nation Suspicion is
changing to conviction that the bill is the product

of design to give added advantage to the large
operators in money at the expense of the small
operators and the individual producers of the coun-
try.
Men who read at home and discuss what they
read among themselves who watch the course of the
business of the Nation and arrive at practical con-
illusions have nearly determined that the gentlemen
that represent the States and Congressional dis
tricts at Washington have the most meagre COM
prehenson of the science of finance and currency.
With this belief we'll established in their minds, it
will not take them long to themselves that
Mr.. Aldrich and his coconspirators of Wall street
can impose almost any scheme for the manipulation
of money upon their poorly informed associates of
the Senate and House.
Those who have been unable to fathom the be-
wdering mysteries of the financial legislation of the
past are now beginning to very clearly that its
continuous tendency has been towards the enrich
ment of a few at the expense of many.
They are also able to understand that the archi-
tects of Mr.. Aldrich's production are of the few
that have been elevated to the class of multi-mllon-
aires through financial legislation procured during
the past forty years 1t is to be presumed that they
would design legislation that will improve their
future opportunities.
And it is to that class of manpulators that the
country is looking for relief from grievous
SITUATION while congress SITS idly BY the least IN
terested spectator among eighty millions of indus
trious and deserving people.
Rascality, incompetency and ineficiency in high
places at this crisis in the industrial and CONNER
cial affairs of the Nation are enough to provoke
political revolution that will turn the back of
every defaulting Statesman" upon the scene of his
mpotent efforts and give to him perpetual leave to
remain at home.
The session of Congress will probably end with
either nothing done the Aldrich imposition crys-
ta11ized into law. And this at a time when bust
ness and productive industry are crying for the
relief that is everlastingly promised them under a
representative form of government.

Animals Convey Disease.

Attracted by the evidence that bubonc plague was
extended in Pacific Coast cities by the movements
of rats, DR.. William B. Meany calls attention in the
New York Medical Record to the fact that infec-
ton may be transmitted by cats and dogs or by
other animals.
A study of dphtheria epidemic at Enfield Eng
land, in 1878, enabled the doctor to trace diph
liberia infection from boy to cat, from the first
cat to second cat and from the second cat to four
girls. These were all cases of direct communication
and the tracing is considered unmpeachable
The author of the article in the Medical Record
continues
In 1886 Dr. George Turner, medical officer of the
local government board stated to the writer that in
the village of Braughing, England, diphtheria
prevalent at a farm among the fowls A man from
a neighboring village bought chicken from in
fected farm; he took it home, and diphtheria broke
out in the house shortly after. This was the first
in that village Dr. Turner further stated that
his attention was called to these facts by the ned-
cal attendant, and the himself corroborated the
information in all particulars Similar accounts

VOGUE of Old Novels.

1t is not uncommon to hear elder
ly people lament that no one now
reads the books which were popular
in their young days, and they will
probably add that no living writer
can for moment compare with the
generation of authors that has pass
ed away, by which they generally
mean Dickens, Thackeray, George
Eliot, Bulwer, Trollope, Bronte,
Hawthorne, etc. We have, however,
every now and then report from
Librarians of large Libraries which
goes far to disprove the correctness
of the complaints of these cold
SOULS" since they show that many
of the authors named are still in
great demand by the public and hold
their own very well alongside of the
