INTOLERANCE
OF RUSSIA
Maryland Senator Declares
That Cars Government
Cannot be Dealt With
NO WAY OUT EXCEPT
ABROGATION OF TREATY
By The United Press.

by Inc Unlted Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19-"The night
of barbarism must close so far as we
are concerned" said Senator Isador
r. Rayner Dem. Md in a vigorous
speech in the Senate today on the alb
rogation of the treaty with Russia
This is the land of religious liberty,
so ordained by the wisdom of God and
so created by the genius of man. We
cannot permit any autocratic govern
ment to visit this iniquity upon our
citizens. The day of religious inquisi
ton is over It is useless to talk of
negotiation. The Russian government
cannot be negotiated with.
Without criticizing the State De-
partment or anyone else I cannot un-
derstand why this government has not
long ago demanded of those i'm author
ity in this despotic land that if they do
not amend their code of religious
persecution and become proselytes at
the altars of reason and humanity,
they will no longer be tolerated to re-
tain friendly contact and intercourse
with our free institutions.
What is the cause of this intoler-
ance? Have these Hebrew people COM
mitted any crime against the laws or
institutions of Russia? Yes they have
committed the same crime which their
forefathers committed and which
their posteity will continue TO commit
to the remotest generation. They have
worshipped God according to the tra-
diitons of their faith and the dictates
of their conscience.
If the Emperor of Russia who is at
the head of the ecclesiastical church
of the realm, by some supreme act of
humanity directed against these pros
trate victims of his intolerance. will
offer them the alternative of either
accepting the faith Of their persecu-
tors. OF the imposition of any ad-
ditional servitude, think know what
the result will be. They will never
abandon the affairs of their fathers.
Senators, take this as you will, it
is nothing but persecution directed
against citizens of the United States.
You ask for other methods of relief.
There is no other method of relief.
DO we propose TO keep treaties and
allow other governments with whom
we have made them to break them at
their will? No other civilized nation
on this earth would assume such a
humiliating position. The heart of
this compact has been pierced and
raising as il does with u. the ques-
ton of religious freedom, its most
sensitive feature has been mutilated
and trampled upon. We deserve the
contempt of mankind if we reel at the
blow and submit to this degrading in.
dignity. There is no way out of il
except the abrOgatiOn of this treaty

intolerance have gone across the

Full of enthusiasm with the pros
poets of better showing throughout
the State and with better courage for
the future because of the brighter
prospects the State Prohibition COM
mittee met. Tuesday afternoon and
evening in Waterville to talk over the
situation and formulate plans. Prac-
tically the entire membership of the
executive committee was present and
a good representation Of the State
committee. The meeting held, Tuesday,
was a continuation of a meeting held
just two months ago in Portland. AT
that time it was voted to hold a meet
ing in Watervilie and the discussion
of the plans and prospects for the
coming campaign commenced at that
meeting were continued here.
The executive committee held an eN-
ecutive session, Tuesday afternoon,
and among other things it was thought
best that instead of waiting for Ia
ter opening of campaign to keep ON
with the plans which have been in
force for some little time, in fact since
before the recent September election
on the referendum. This plan is the
sending out of literature on the sub
iect of temperance. The committee
has received reports which tend TO
show that many temperance RepuDli-
cans are dissatisfied with present con-
ditions and believe that there VIII be
a very much larger increase at the
next State election in the Prohibition
vote. TO increase this vote they be
Iieve that many will be influenced by
the arguments in the literature they
are sending out.
