States.
Russia violated the Treaty with
the United States and INTRODUCED
in this country a system .of
religious inquisition. Any Ameri.
can desiring to enter Russia must
pass religious test at the Russian
consulate here.
When American Prcsid 'nts and
Secretaries of State pointed out
to Russia that she was violating
the terms of the Treaty, Russia
replied bv cunning cvasiOns. All
diplomatic overturCs were put of
by Russia's promises that special
Commission was appointed to dcaI
with the subject.
American Presidents and Ameri-
can Secretaries of State, American
Senators and American Congress-
men stated that Russia was violat
ing the Treaty Of 1892. The
Russian Government cvadcd the
issue, decciving the American
diplomats for more than thirty
years with promises Of reform to
be Introduced by a certain Especial
Commission which vas always
to report very soon"
BY dcceiving the American
statesmen, Russia has deceived the
p opIc of the United States. 1t is
high time that the people of this
country should know TIE following
facts:

in st. Petersburg. requested e

PLAYING POLITICS

The attitude of the insurgent repub-
licans in the senate toward the wool
tariff revision bill is surprising TO a
large number of the people Of the
country who thought that these much
coddled gentlemen We're sincere in
their expressed desire for tariff re-
vision.
The wool tariff revision as 1t passed
the house reduces the tariff on wool
en- goods from an average of about
62 per cent ad valorum to about %
per cent. The bill as amended by the
senate makes the duty an average of
about So per cent This rate was fixed
by the insurgent republicans and
passed by the help of the democratic
members. The bill went into confer
ence and the democrats offered to
compromise on duty of about 80 per
cent. The leader of the insurgents
has met this proposal with naughty
refusal and insists on the passage OF
the bill as amended in the senate. The
conferees are nov deadlocked over
the bill and there seems to be very
little chance Of an agreement be-
cause OF the uncompromising attitude
Of LaFollette and his followers.
This attitude of the insurgents
makes them liable to the charge of
insineerity and Of desiring to put
wind into their political sails instead
of desiring to really revise the WOODEN
schedule downward. Such a game OF
peanut politics is TOO old, and the
voters OF the nation will not stand
for such attempts At crafty deeeitful-
ness.
