Tort and well being of those who are
III the ranks Of the workers. We have
attracted to our shores millions who
nave come from conditions that are
lndescribable. Every now and then
we are told of the conditions of the
people who live in some of the poorer
parts of our great cities and those
VINO find conditions of life so hard and
pressing In nearly all cases it is an
improvement on what they left. The
Italians of New York own something
over seventy million dollars worth Of
property. Visiting once in the Ital-
ian quarter OF New York, the speaker
said, he found a few sacks on the
floor, two or three chairs. a table and
three cots in one room. He asked the
occupant where he had lived in the
old country, and he said Napoli. When
he was asked whether this was better
than Naples, he said "Heapa better.
Napoli smella heap worse" Anybody
who had visited Naples would under
stand that, The son of the italian
came in from school, and the father
asked him to read. He read with
good meditation and with voice that
might be the envy of many an Ameri-
can born child. The public school
was the hope of the nation. and it
reached children that the church did
not touch.
Another thing was the rapid develop
ment of our social life. This included
all that made for betterment. The
home, the school, the, government OF
cities and states. and. the organized
government of. the whole. country
Every hillside had its, home. and ev.

SO much had been accomplished in a
century and half. Yet here were
the facts.

many other of the dangers which come
to us and suggested that the remedy
was In education, and in the enforce
ment of law. We were the greatest
law making, and the worst law break
ing people on the face of the earth
We made laws, and then appointed
officers to administer and enforce
them, and then made laws to force
them TO enforce the laws and soon
we would make laws to see that these
were enforced.

has fewer, and no other. the oppor-

We gain nothing by declaring that

Dancer in Haste.

Now the danger was in the rapid
ity with which this had come to pass.
1t made us materialists. and we were
in danger of forgetting the higher
thing that we ought to seek, or at
least to remember. The rush for
wealth had led us to forget the mean
ing of the word which meant more
than money. or riches or mere pos
sessions. 1t meant all that made for
the general well being Of the people.
1t was an old Saxon word which took
in all conditions. Among other things
the speaker mentioned some OF the
ideas of amusement and pleasure
which had come into vogue. There
was a desire for more on the part OF
all This led to the formation OF
classes. Many people who were not
poor we're discontinued when theV
heard OF men who were what We're
called plutocrats. 1t had come about
somehow. that the idea had possess
ed us that more money meant more
we'll being. Glass distinction was be-
ing encouraged at each end of the
social scale. Any man who talked of
canitalist churches and capitalist
Judges and capitalist governments
and tried to make case proved, that
the man who had less was denied JUS
tice and was at a disadvantage and
was sowing a seed thae would produce
an undesirable harvest.

These words came at time when

end their wanderings, and possess the
land towards which their eyes had
been turned for centuries. ri was
part Of a historic retrospect and a
great prophecy. There is something
very bold in the attitude which the
old prophet took. Looking upon a
band of freed slaves without any
possessions, and as yet an unorgan-
lied body, he declared that the time
should come when they would rank
among the wealthy nations of the
nations OF the world, and would stand
at the head of all people because of
their greatness. They would have
rich lands, and treasures of wealth.
They would build magnificent houses.
and the time would come when they
would be able to compute but not to
calculate their wealth With the COM
Ing of wealth there would he q praat
danger. The danger was that they
would think of their possessions, and
would forget that they were the gift
Of God. The danger of materialism.
But that made no difference to the
broad and great vision that he had for
them. Prospect and retrospect both
led him to believe that the future was
great with blessings of wealth and
honor. -

The Pilgrims:

When We tried to make the transit
ton from the history of Israel to the
history Of this country, 1t was com
paratively easy. :; The Pilgrims who
came to this land from land of
tyranny and oppression. came with the
same ideas that were in the minds of
the children of Israel. They came to
establish not monarchy. but a
theocracy. Not the Imperialism of
Rome, nor the established order OF a
monarchy in other countries, but back
over all the centuries to the people
who were the chosen people of God
they sent their thoughts, and upon
Their governmental ideas they found
ca their ideals of a state. To great
el extent than we. are aware. the pur-
poses of these men have found their
luiiilment in the greatness and
sroWth of this country. OF course it
as now the fashion to- sheer at their
austere morals, and to- speak of their
habits of life and even of their re-
hgion with a sheer. This was usually
cone by those who We're ignorant of
Tie history of the early New Eng
ianders. Many of the men who spoke
OF the Puritan idea with curl Of the
Zip and a sheer, were unacquainted
with the work which they did. In
deed, many of them did not know
whether the Puritans were transport
ca from the Caribbean Islands, or were
some peculiar race who had no coun-
Try OF their own. Usually they
thought that they We're the people
who established the Blue Law code, of
Connecticut, though it served no pur-
pose to tell them that the laws were
apochryphal They believed that it
was really true that men were for
hidden to kiss their wives On Sunday,
Which was rather a compliment, mas
much as it suggested thst they did
KISS their wives on the other six days
o. the week But though we have out
lived the Puritan habits OF life and
nave outgrown their theology, we
must not forget that they were the
men who gave our country the Decia-
lation OF Independence and at least
pointed out the way in which we HAD
come to greatness and power

TAFT'S MESSAGE TO JEWS
EFFORTS TO SECURE RECOGNI-
TON OF PASSPORTS IN RUSSIA.
President Assures Hebrews of SYM
pathy and Publishes Letter
From Secretary Knox.

NEW YORK. March ia message
from President Taft to the Jews of
America will be printed tomorrow morn
ing In the twenty-ifth anniversary is
sue OF the jewish Daily News of this
city. The President publiches CORE
spandence with the Secretary of State
showing the efforts of the administration
TO obtain full recognition in Russia Of
American passports granted Jewish citi-
zens.
Secretary Knox, in reply to the Presi-
dents letter OF inquiry, replies In part as
follows:
THE question OF obtaining from the
Russian government full recognition of
the American passport without discrimina-
tion of the faith or race of the citizens to
wnom they are lawfully granted has
long absorbed the attention of this gov
eminent, and repeated efforts have been
made TO induce the imperial authorities
to recede from or relax the rule by which
Jews bearing native American passports
are excluded from Russia save In especial
instances OF specially granted permission.
Changes in Administration.
The late change in the orga nization OF
the imperial administration on constitu-
tional bases has been accompanied with
measures looking to the material
smelioration of the restrictions to which
Jews have long been subjected in Rus
STA, and among other measures announced
is an imperial commission to revise pass
port regulations. So far no result In this
direction has been observed, but the rec
ognition of the principle involved in OPEN
ing the question of revision is a hopef,,I
indication, of which the American en-
bassy has been instructed to take all pos
sibe advantage"
Personal Greeting.
President Taft adds his personal greet
ing. as follows:
Your constituency is an intelligent.
Woodworking. patriotic body OF men,
who appreciate the opportunities of free
government, education at public expense
and equal opportunity In general thew
make excellent citizens and justify our
policy Of hospitality to desirable immi-
grants.
