BELIEF AND CITIZENSHIP.

One of the leading newspapers Of California a
element protest against the proposed emigration of the
)oukhobor from Canada to the land of sunshine and gold
The protest timely and for the sake of the good people
If the far West the Blade hopes may prove effective But
it not the fact of the protest upon which desire to
make comment rather the motives that induced the protest
% be made and the ground upon which the exclusion Of
this strange sect is sought.
In editorial upon this subject the paper in question
says: ''The Doukhobors good to any community.
Their beliefs make it impossible for them become good
citizens, and they trouble to the authorities
IN any civilized country
The objection may be a good and the Blade canddly
admits that it is but the principal fault be that if
the Doukhobor to be excluded from the United States
and from California in particular merely because of their
religious beliefs which, it is said renders it impossible for
them become good citizens could the objection
be raised against many other Christian present
domcied in this country Are all the believers in all the
innumerabe Christian capable of being good citizens
Are not the Doukhobors also Christians? Do they
believe in a crucifed savior for redemption from sin
True, they may have extremely peculiar notions about the
and mode of their religious devotional exercises
but at that they could scarcely be than the
calling themselves Holy Rollers.
When Christian seeks to force his religion upon his
neghbor through the medium of poiceman'G club is he
really good citizen If not ought he to be suppressed2
Though different in their style of worship than the
bers of the Salvation Army, it is doubtful if they could
become greater nuisance Objectionable pests.
Where the Blade sympahizes with the California effort
keep the Canadian of their country is that the
proposed emigrts are amenabe modern progress
and regiously refuse to ally themselves with modern
methods Sef-abnegation and self-torure to be
their principal tenets, and such class is by

Count Alexander TorOk, tWenty-eight
years of age, attache of the embassy of
Austria Hungary, fell from Capital
Traction car near Rock Creek bridge last
evening about { o'clock and was severely
injured. The count was struck by a troll
ley pole while endeavoring to climb over
the guard rail from the wrong side of
the car. He was not rendered uncon-
scious, but was suffering great pain when
removed to the Emergency Hospital.
Baron Louis AmbroZy, counselor of the
embassy reached the hospital shortly
after the count was taken there. He was
permitted to see the patient and heard the
latter's version of how the accident hap
pened.
| Count Torok asked Baron Ambrozy that
| no word of the accident be sent his aged
| mother. The latter. who is rather feeble.
| is in Europe. Baron AmbroZy assured
| the patient that his wishes would be re-
spected.
Condition Improved Today.
The patient seemed much brighter this
morning. Considerable uneasiness was
caused friends of the count last night by
the accident. and it was feared he had
received serious internal injuries which
might result fatally, but this morning it
was said he will probably recover.
| Count Torok proceeded to the courts of
the Bachelor Lawn Tennis Club. late yes
terday afternoon, in Woodley Park, and
enjoyed game. He left the club shortly
| after o'clock to return TO his apart
ments at 1916 Jefferson place.
There was fast-moying car going
south. and the count decided to board
| it, thereby avoiding a long delay in
| reaching the city. Being somewhat of
an athlete, he experienced no difficulty
| in reaching the and getting aboard.
but when he made the effort to climb
over the guard rail he evidently forgot
the trolley poles.
Thrown Violently to Ground.
When the trolley pole was struck
the count had one foot over the rail, and
friends are unable to understand why
his leg was not broken He was thrown
violently to the ground and seemed
dazed when passengers and the con-
ductor. who hurried to his assistance,
picked him up. Reid Riley. real es
tate dealer. who happened to be passing
in his automobile, offered to hurry the
count to the Emergency Hospital.
Everything was in readiness when the
hospta! was reached. and no time was
lost in carrying the patient to the oper
ating room. Later he was removed TO
private room on the upper floor.
1t was only few minutes after
Count Torok reached the hospital be-
fore Baron Ambrozy arrived to see him.
The patient was suffering greatly from
shock and complained that his side
panied Unless he has sustained severe
internal injuries. it is explained, he will
be able to leave the hospital in few
days.
