A COLOSSAL PROSECUTION.

Involving simultaneously more im-
mediate property rights than any
other case aver heard by the highest
national tribunal, the Tobacco Trust

to the splendid tenacity with which
these people hold to the laws and COM

1t showed how in this country there is
still that freedom of worship which
has made this country the asylum of
the oppressed of all nations. Doubtless
there were many fervent prayers in
terday for the Jews of Russia, upon
whom the Christian people of that bar
barous land have inflicted the severest
cruelties in the name of Christ, Him
self lowly Nazarene: that God would
send them deliverance from their per-
secutors and save them from utter de-
struction. 1t is a reproach to the name
OF Christianity that not one of the So
called great Christian Powers has ever
made any protest against the fearful
treatment of the Jews of Russia. We
spend millions of dollars to convert
the Chinese and illuminate Africa; bat
we do nothing for the rescue of the
Jews from the horrible prosecutions of
the barbarians. Yet they have Kept

AN onJEcr LESSON Fon TAr,


Mr.. Taft has been admonished by
ehe world tEat the Democrats are not
responsible for the statement that
S30oOO0,000 might be saved each year
In the ordinary conduct of the Govern
ment by the adoption of business
methods in its affairs. The claim that
such saving could be effected was
made by Senator Aldrich, of Rhode
Island one of the inventors of the
best tariff law the Republicans have
ever made" and we have no doubt that
as much. or more. could be saved by
the adoption of business methods: not
by cutting down some poor clerk S
salary here and there; but by reducing
the number of Government employees
and curtailing the activities of the Gov
eminent in matters with which it legi-
timately can have nothing to do.
From the Inauguration of Washing
ton as President, in 1889. down to the
beginning of the War Against the
South the total expenditures of the
United states Government aggregated
s1,795.273.344.12. The appropriation
bills" says the World, signed by Theo-
dore Roosevelt during his second term
in the White House. from March 4, 1905,
to March A. 1903 authorized expendi-
lures amounting to s3,522,9S2. S16.27.
Four years Of RooseveItism cost twice
as much as tho 6rst sapeptv-tu,o Won re,
of the Republic"
Mr.. Taft would find washington a
safe leader in re-arranging the budgets
for the remainder of his term The
right way to reduce the cost of the
Government is to reduce. not by find-
ing new objects for taxation, not by
amending the Constitution so that
the Government at washington might
lay new burdens upon the people of the
States by the taxation of incomes, not
by eSacting additional toll from the
corporations; but by cutting off all
unnecessary Offices and retiring from
business affairs. The only proper
business of the Government is the
business of economically administering
public affairs. All new methods OF
taxation are simply intended to SO
swell the revenues that the Govern
ment may embark in new undertakings
without exceeding its income. And
the people will have to pay the
freight

MAYOR GAYNOR AT WORK AGAIN.
When he returned to his work on
Monday Mayor Gaynor received a
great welcome at the City Han IN
New York. A committee of one nun
dred of the most prominent men In the
communityg waited upon him to say
how much they rejoiced at his re-
covery, how greatly they valued ms
services, and wished for him increas-
ing years and honor. The rich ana the

fitness that he had survived the

and politicians without regard to

show how glad the people of our city
are that you have been spared to

Mayor how all the people of New York

might be spared, that they were CRATE
full that their prayers had been an

day to take up again the duties which
have been so beneficial TO your be-

merchant, spoke the heart Of all New
York in earnestly Wishing the Mayor
health and happiness. Doubtless there
was never such a scene in New York,
and yet 1t is common thing TO say
that New York has no heart!
