CREEDS AT WAR

1t seems that the Catholics and
Methodists, through some over
Jealous subordinates, attempted to
make capital out of Theodore
Roosevelts visit to Rome. As a
result neither creed gains any
point. Roosevelt is an American
and aims to treat all religious
creeds respectfully and to show nc
partizanship. He says:
"As regards all efforts, by whom
soever made, to bring about and
inflame religious animosities be-
cause Of what has occurred in con.
nection with the Vatican and nv.
self, l can do no more than to re-
fer to the emphatic statements
contained in my open letter to DR..
Lyman Abbott, already published.
"All that / there said l desire
to reiterate with my whole power"
A little girls leg was cut off by
a trolley car in New Jersey and
the jury gave her 5000 damages.
A wise judge -who had not been
run over by trolley car, but per-
haps who had other experience
with superintendent to let
tho legless girl get the money.
He said the jury had failed to take
into consideration "the great i'm.
provement in cork legs" Cork
legs are so much better made now.
according to this judge, that hav-
ing cork leg, instead of meat
leg, is almost n blessing. There
fore the judge refused to let the
legless child get damages, as
awarded by the jury. And the
verdict of the jury was set aside.
What are juries for anyhow?
