RUSSIA AND THE
AMERICAN JEW

The continuance of the def
ance Of Russia to live up to the
terms of the treaty Of 1882 and
her refusal of the admittance of
American citizens of the Jewish
faith has long been blot on the
escutcheon Of the big European
empire, while the apparent ease
with which the United States has
moved in the matter has brought
the Misrepresentation Of the leading
writer's throughout the republic
to bear upon the dilatory course
pursued.
The passport question is not one
affecting alone the American Jew,
but is one appealing to the patriot
ic self-respect of every American
citizen. We are in the habit Of
boasting that an American citi-
zen can go anywhere where the
stars and stripes are recognized
and command the respect due to
a citizen Of the greatest country
on the face of the earth. But
here are American citizens, FORE
most in the business, professional
and financial world, who, because
of their religious belief, are treat,
ed with contumely by supposed
ly friendly country. And not that
alone, but the course Of Russia
seemingly receives the sanction Of
the Washington government, as
not even a perfunctory pretense Of
a diplomatic investigation has
been ordered, various secretaries
of state since 1881 having con-
tented themselves by merely call
ing the attention of the Russian
government in a formal manner
to the unfair discrimination.
A treaty that is constantly dis
honored and ignored had best be
abrogated, and the offending
country made to realize her posi-
tion-or rather to realize the po-
sition of the United States in pro-
tecting it's citizens, irrespective of
political or religious creeds, the
world over.

COST OF THE SMOKE NUISANCE
An Interesting Attempt to Esti.
mate the Loss to q City in DOL
lars and Gents by Reason
of Absence of Anti
Smoke Ordinance.

An interesting attempt to. esti-
mate the actual loss to a city in
dollars and cents by reason Of the
smoke nuisance. is that recently
made by DR.. j. H. Kellogg, Of Bat
tie Creek, Mich, concerning the
problem in that city. His idea
and estimates should be Of special
interest in Virginia, where the Ia
dies Of the Virginia Study Club
have attempted to arouse public
enthusiasm in the matter of the
passage Of an anti-smoke ordi-
nance, their request to the council
year ago being tabled.
DR.. Kellogg calls attention to
the Importance Of abolishing
smoke in these words:
My estimates are as follows {:
''For laundry work, estimated
at 10 cents for each person, $780,
900 annually.
"For extra homework, dusting,
scrubbing, repainting, etc., $751;
0O0..
"Waste Of coal, $4,000.
"Total, 100000, or $1,000 for
every working day.
'In addition to this there must
be added the large expense for
soap, extra clothing and washing
carpets, injury to goods in stores,
repainting houses, to say nothing
of the great injury to health which
arises from the inhalation of SCOT.
The lungs have surface of nearly
1000 square feet, over which fine
particles of SCOT are deposited the
same as upon the hands and cloth
ing. If there were no remedy for
smoke we would be- compelled to
tolerate it as necessary evil, but
there are now a number of efficient
and comparatively inexpensive
smoke consumers upon the market
which can be relied upon to con-
sumo the fuel so thoroughly that
little SCOT will enter into the at
mosphere in the form Of smoke:
We have been testing a device Of
this sort at the sanitarium and for
a number of years back have had
in use~devices which we find thor
oughly satisfactory! They not on:
ly consume the smoke, but are a
distinct economy in fuel consump-
ton.
"The sanitarium is perhaps
more interested than any other
institution in the city in the sup
preston Of the smoke nuisance, as
a sooty atmosphere is decidedly
distasteful to our patients and is
highly prejudicial to the reputa-
ton Of Battle Creek as a health
center, but the question is one in
which every one who lives in
Battle Creek is interested. An
ordinance prohibiting the pollu-
tion Of the atmosphere with heavy
smoke from soft coal would work
no injury to any one. Up to date
cities everywhere are protected
by ordinances Of this sort. Why
shoald Battle Creek be behind
other enterprising cities in this
regard 90

STATE BANK OPENS I.
WEDNESDAY
New Institution in Which Many
Virginians Are Interested Has
Fine Home and Is Hand
somely Equipped for
Business.

The new State Bank of Virginia
of which Douglas Greeley is pres
ident and in which a number of
Virginians are interested, formal
ly opened it's doors to the public
ON Wednesday, although the in
terror finish of the handsome new
building erected for it's accom-
modation is scarce complete.
The new building is one of the
most striking edifces on the
street, while the interior arrange
ments assist in giving the new
institution an air of permanency
and solidity.
The institution will do a gen.
eral banking business and write
fire insurance and handle Euro
pean tickets. Aside from Mr..
Greeley as president the officers
are G. E. Hendrick, vice president,
Peter Western, cashier, and c. E..
Hendrick, c. H. Rogers, C. E.
Moore, F. H. Welcome and Doug
las Greeley as directors. It is
capitalized at $4,000, carrying a
surplus fund Of $4,000.
The fixtures and finish throug-
out are of quarter oak, colonial
style, while the vaults and safes
are burglar proof, set of lock-
boxes in the vault provided with
double keys being for the use Of
patrons.
The new institution opens with
strong backing, and will in all
probability be a permanent and
progressive establishment.

HOW MUCH WILL ~ noLp7


Many a farmer who has q silo, as
well a. many farmers who are going
to build silns. would like to know
how to get ut the volume and weight
OF the fodder which d silo Of given size
will hold. For instance, how many
tons OF fodder will silo having a
size Of IL by 80 hold? The first step
l. getting the area Of the base, which
is obtained by multiplying the diam
eter BY itself and that by 1854. Using
this formula with the dimensions men
toned. we have 1G by 16 by 1854,
which gives 201-0624 square feet. The
cubic contents are then got by multi
plying this by the height, thirty-two
feet. which gives 6433.90 cubic feet.
1t has been found that a cubic foot of
settled silaGe weighs fOrty-three
pounds on the average in silos less
than thirty-six feet in height: hence
multiplying the cubic contents by the
weight per foot. forty-three pounds,
gives the total weight OF the contents.
or 277.661 pounds. and dividing this by
1000 gives the number of tons, in this
case 1898. With these figures at hand
1t is easy TO figure out how many feeds
or thirty pounds per day d silo OF a
given size will furnish herd Of dairy
cows.

Going away to college does not mean
that those who have the privilege are
under a new dispensation morally, as
many students seem to infer. The same
laws hold That do at home, and their
violation brings misery and their OBJ
servance satisfaction and peace. Hun
dreds Of boys and girls have gone adrift
In life through ignoring this simple
truth. Then it IS well to keep In mind
that advanced education should mean
increased responsibility and gratitude,
not breed contempt and disdain for the

Of ali true culture and education, and
the boy or girl who does not purposely

A CLIPPING BUREAU.

An arrangement that would cost

be an envelope clipping system, which

pers and classifying them by means
Of an envelope system, one envelope
being devoted to all the clippings re
ferring to q given subject. The sew
eral envelopes could then be plainly

even more clear that thousands of the
most needy who are justly entitled M

ever registering for such drawings be-
cause they feel they cannot afford to
play the stake for the slim chance Of
success. Just why the present plan j.
continued is not clear unless it be that
the public lands are apportioned pri-
marily as sort of bats to induce rail
road traffic and only secondarily to ben
