MAKING A FINAL APPEAL. !
PrOtectiOnists Want Senators to Ig-
more Pledges to President.

From the American Economist.
Without fear of successful fcontradic-
ton, we make the following assertion:
But for promises of support, made at
the urgent solicitation of the President,
the free-trade Canadian agreement bill
now pending in the Senate OF the United
States would not have one chance in a
hundred of being enacted into law.
Also # Is undoubtedly true that If the
President would release all the Senators
from whom he has obtained pledges Of
support, the free-trade Canadian bill would
be voted down in the Senate inside Of e
week.
1t is a fact well known in Washington
that within the past few days three Sem
ators have requested release from their
promises, and that the President has re-
fused to release them.
One of these Senators is known to have
said to Mr.. Taft:
"I have heard from my people at home.
They are opposed to the Canadian agree
ment. Therefore, I ask to be released
The President refused to grant the re-
gust, whereupon the Senator said: Then
I will release myself"
Another Senator is known to have re-
leased himself. and a third Senator will
probably take the same course.
The names of these three Senators have
up to this time been included as among
those certain to vote for the free-trade
Canadian bill.
The unfortunate feature Of the situation
consists in the large number Of Senators
from whom the President has secured
promises of support at a time when the
dangerous character Of the .free-trade
measure and Its certain consequences Of
party disruption and Decentralization were
but imperfectly understood.
VIII the President release all these
Senators from their promises, and thus
permit the free-trade Canadian bill to
come to a vote on its merits as an eco
nomic and political question?
If he will release them, the Senate is
ready for vote,
If he refuses to release them, will not
other Senators follow the excellent ex-
ample already mentioned, and release
themselves?
1t is to be hoped that this will come to
pass.

TRACES KINGS ANCESTRY

Boston Rector Finds Interesting Genealogical Tree
Extending Back to Judea.

Boston, July 2.-Rev. William Hyde,
rector of the Trinity Episcopal Church,
of Weymouth. believes not only that the
British are direct descendants of the
Israelltes, but that King George V is a
lineal. descendant of a cousin Of the
House of David.
THE royal house of Britain" says Mr..
Hyde, traces It's ancestry back to the
line of David and of Judah.

The End Of a Useful Career.

The useful and promising career of
John B. Sleman, jr., has been ended
by death. In the prime of life, and
when he had demonstrated his value
to the community in which he lived,
he has been called hence An earnest
and industrious worker for the better
ment of humanity, his labors were un-,
selfish and effective. He was a phi
lanthropist in the broadest and best sense
of the word, doing good to his fellow
man without thought of personal re-
ward and rendering assistance to those
less fortunate than himself without os-
tentatious publicity.
His name was identified most closely
with the work of the Young Mems
Christian Association, which organiza-
ton secured his valuable aid when it
was in struggling condition. Through
his untiring and well-directed efforts it
grew into an important factor in the
community. He was, however, most
catholic in his endeavors, and the As
sociated Charities, the Neighborhood
House, and, in fact, every agency that
tended to help the unfortunate, enlisted
his active cooperation and sympathy.
Nor were his labors confined to this
city, for his identification with the Lay
mems Missionary Movement gave to
this important phase of religious work
a character and impetus that it would
not have otherwise attained
His interest in the development of
the city was equally marked, and, in
fact, he would have taken a prominent
place among the leaders and developers
of public opinion. While his career
has been brought to an untimely end,
the work that he had already accom-
plished constitutes a memorial to his
memory which may we'll serve to
stimulate those who believe in good citi-
zenship as the crowning glory of human
life.

The San Francisco Earthquake.

Although the earthquake on the Pa
cifc Slope was not serious, the fact
that there is an unsteadiness of the
earth's crust in that portion of the
United States leaves an unpleasant i'm
preston upon the mind.
It is evident that there are conditions
underneath the surface which mans wis
dom cannot fathom or mans ingenuity
prevent. The earthquake comes with
out warning, and ceases when its force
has been spent. 1t may be that the re-
cent volcanic disturbances in Mexico
are indirectly responsible for the pres
ent phenomenon. Whatever the cause,
the human race stands helpless in the
face of seismic disturbance. 1t is dem
onstration of nature which cannot be
avoided by foresight nor is it even sub
ject to prediction.
1t is a curious fact that nearly all
the great earthquakes of the past have
occurred upon the sea coast. Lisbon,
the scene of one of the greatest dis
asters in the worlds history, is near
the sea. Charleston is on the Atlantic
coast Messina borders the Mediter-
ranean The earthquakes in Mexico
are most severe near the Pacific Ocean
The same is true of Chile and Peru.
San Francisco IS a seaport. The sus-
ceptibility of the coasts to earthquake
shocks has led to the theory that the
water of the ocean seeps into the earth
under great pressure and is converted
into steam, which, in turn, seeks an
outlet The fact is, however, that
science has been unable to cope with
the problem Seismographs have been
invented to record the tremors of the
earth, but they throw no light upon the
origin of the disturbance. The force
displayed by earthquakes has been cal
culated, but the knowledge thus gained
is of little practical use The regions
of the earth where earthquakes are of
frequent occurrence have been explored,
but still the mystery remains unsolved.
Science, in all probability, will never
be able to afford practical assistance
The tremendous forces at work in the
heart of the earth are beyond the con-
troll OF man.

the royal house Of the Scots, and this
line in time, through the Bruces and
stuarts, became the royal line Of the
British empire.
George V, therefore, is a descendant
of David, and belongs to dynasty which
can never cease to exist, for it has .ne
promise of God that it will never cease
to have a descendant to reign over
people of Israel The English-American
people are this race; hence, they are the
people Of God.
Further we can trace the lineage Of
the British ruler back even as far as
Adam. Anna, a cousin of Mary, the
mother of Christ, married a prince or
the royal house of Britain, and, hence,
became an ancestor of that house.
God said that he would establish the
throne Of David forever, and that David
would never cease to have a descendant.
George V is a fulflllment of these words.
