that another attack on the Jews is i'm
pending. The Cars officers at Kiev,
who have been Investigating the
status of the Jews in that city, have
decided that 40 families and possibly
200 will be allowed to remain there.
The others Will be expelled at once
by Russian troops and will be driven,
in restitution. to other Russian cities,
which will probably be closed to them.
The story OF the plot which has
eliminated in this order is enough
to make man sicken with shame for
the human race. Many of the Jews
residing in Kiev paid heavy taxes for
the privilege Of membership in the
Firlt Guild. which entitled them to
live in the city. Some of them. who
thousht themselves secure, moved
from that section of the city set apart
for them. For some years they con-

Ostensibly this was to establish peace
prior to the adoption OF general Jew

catch the unwary. Naturally. when
assured that they would not be dis
turbed many of the Jews dropped
their connection with the guild, in
order to avoid the heavy taxes levied
on them, and followed other occupa-

this cannot be justified in the eyes of
the world. 1t must stand as another
chapter in the most disgracetul story
of Russia's dark annals for 1t is i'm
possible to conceive OF greater cruelty
than that which has been practiced on
the Jews by the Russians. and it is
difficult to see how nation, be 1t never
so benightcd and higoted. can go
against every law of Cod and man in
robbing, plundering and numbering
peace-loving and respectable citizens.
Russia doubtless insists upon her
right to regulate the treatment OF the
Jews in the Empire, and will resent
any foreign interference as an insult
to it's independence. Yet, If the
present incident marks the beginning
of a new movement against the Jews,
as seems more than likely, 1t is high
time Ior the civilized Powers to in
terfere and to demand justice for the
prosecuted race. There are national
crimes which become International dis
graces. and this is one of them.

aay in London, Is on the anxious
bench. despite his illustrious company;
Eallinger is calmly awaiting the out

rest of the small fry might as well
reconcile themselves to the inevitable
end hope no longer for a place on
the front page.
1T is easy TO forecast the verdict.
Mr.. Ballinger will be eSonerated, his
6enartment will be given clean bill
of health and tho Secretary VIII be
upheld in his efforts at killing
snakeso in the forestry underprush.
THE decision cannot be otherwise
pa1,,nper has not been perfect and
pipchot has not been altogether
wrong, but the burden of right mas
been so decidedly with the former
that the charges collapsed before pm
committee which has heard the case
would have to. go directly against the
evidence and directly against common
sense il it blamed the Secretary for
doing what any man who wanted 10
keep peace In his office would have to
do in the same circumstances.
The whole investigation has beer
remarkable. not for any evidence that
was introduced, but because it showed
the readiness of our people to con-
denim, regardless of the merits of the
case. When Mr.. Ballinger has been
exonerated, o good many people will
still think that he was in the wrong
and that he should have been retired
from office. Nothing that Mr.. Balm
ger can do will shake this conviction,
and no record that he may achieve for
public service will ever remove the
obloouy which has been heaped upon
him. He might as we'll retire of his
own accord, and relieve the Admins
tration, because, though right he is
thought to be wrong by so many peo-
ple that he can be of little use to the
Administration.
Then, too, the investigation has
been Remarkable because it demon
strated once more the tendency OF
those who oppose the Administration
to discredit st, no matter what it may
do. A great many Democratic papers
sided with Pinchot, when they knew
nothing about the real merits of the
case. He was "agin the Government"
and deserved partisan support for
that very reason. while Ballnger, be-
ing a Cabinet officer and Chosen
Vessel of the Republican persuasion,
was fair mark. If he were right ne
should be MADE. wrong, and if he We're
wrong his .evi..deing should be made
known to all.
This Is a common falling of Ameri-
can journalism the more is the pity.
We Judge man not by his merits but
by his politics, and we blame him for
everything he does no matter what
he does.
We may be a long time getting
there but sooner or later we will find
that the success Of a party and OF
party newspapers does not DEPEND on
their craftsmanship, and we Will havo
our eyes opened to the fact that we
can best get credit for ourselves by
giving the opposition credit for the
good it does, or, at least, by not
blaming the opposition where it is in
the right.

aspiration, but with adoring love anc
with loving alteration Is He to be
received. This is the real truth OF
the divinity OF Jesus Christ.
Think what 1t means when this
divinity of Christ becomes a part of
mans faith. For In addition to be-
lieving that he has q soul and that
there is God; that God rules in love,
and that God has time after time
spoken in the messages of tho pro-
phets, God has really been here on
the earth! What will 1t be to him
who holds this belief? The question
answers itself. To believe in God Is
a glory and delight, and the nearer
me. the more glorious and rapturous
grows my life. To tread an earth
which He has trodden; to think and
feel that which in their human shapes
He, the Eternal God, thought and felt
this is assuredly a marvellous en-
richment of my life.
| All this revelation is about God.
We have gone on and up, step by
step, until we have come to believe in
| Christ and that in very truth He Is
the Son of God. Christ does indeed
show God to man. but He also shows
man to himself. To lie like stone
and see the stars sweep over us
across the sky, with no movement or
response in our own heart, there is
no blessing in that. But when Christ
| shows us God. and we recognize the Di-
vinity with love and strive to repeat
in ourselves His image-that opens
infinite joy and hope.
He calls Himself the son OF God"
and He also calls us Gods sons.
There is no confusion. His Sonship
must always stand above ours. Yet
because we are able to see the Father

we truly share with Him His Som

heirs with Christ" Because we are
sons writes Paul. God hath sent
forth the spirit Of His Son into our
hearts. whereby we cry, Abba-Father.'
The manifestation of God In Christ
completes itself by the manifestation
of God within us.
Let us rehearse the complete faith
of the full Christian man:
First, man believes in his own soul.
he knows that he is spiritual. Then
he believes in God; for he knows tina,
his spirit is but an echo of the CEN
tral and eternal Spirit which is over
all. Then he believes that God rules
the world; all history Is His work. and
one special history stands forth, In
which Gods hand Is peculiarly mani
tested. Next he believes that God has
spoken to mankind, the voice of the
prophets being the message from Him.
And last. behold! there stands forth
one who bears Gods nature and Is
His Son! And In the presence and
power of that life the mans own life
opens into countless possibilities and
is filed with an ever-present power OF
divinity by the helping, moldine in.
spiration Of the Spirit Of God.
How much of this complete faith in
God do you believe? How fully do
you live 1t? How much of the life OF
God have you taken into your life:
May we to-day rejoice in all the
faith which God has given us! May
He help US, by obcdient lives, to make
1t ever more and more deeply ours,
until faith is lost in sight. and we are
forever with the Lord.

Water SAVERS Unite
South Siders Refrain From Using City
Water for SprinkIing
Purposes.

Many of the residents of the south
side have formed a volunteer alliance
to reTain from using the city water
for sprinkling purposes during the
present low state of the river. Those
who are doing this to assist the city
water and police departments in pre-
serving as large reserve supply of
water as is possible in case Of fire,
are DESTROYS that all others in the city
should cooperate in the movement.
The police department has taken
great pains to see that the city ordi-
nances regarding the hours when the
city water may be used are enforced
and no cases have been reported re-
Gently where water has been used
other than during the stipulated hours.
But this is as far as the police of
ficials can go, but they appreciate the
attitude taken by many of the citizens
who have of their own accord volun-
teered to discontinue sprinkling under
the present conditions, and they
would be glad to have others join in
the good work.
