PRESIDENT TAFT ON
THE ENGLISH BIBLE
Binds Together Two Great Anglo
Saxon Nations-Commemo-
ration in London.

London The tercentenary cele-
bration of the publication Of the King
James version of the Bible took place
in the Albert Hall. Representative OF
many religious denominations attend
ed the meeting. In the course of a
speech the Archbishop OF Canterbury
said:
THE sisterhood between Great
Britain and the United States, which
has made armed strife between them
unthinkable, is due to the deepest of
all possible causes, and that is the fact
that both nations were nurtured by the
English Bible"
Premier Asquith was among the
speakers. He said in part:
"One Of the truths which we have
been slow to realize but which ! be-
lieve is now firmly rooted in the minds
OF all Christian men and women on
both sides of the Atlantic is that war
between the English speaking peoples
would not only be a crime against
civilization, but an unforgivable breach
OF those new commandments enshrin-
ed and consecrated in the New Testa-
ment, whereupon both nations have
been bred. There surely could not be
worthier, a more appropriate or a
more splendid monument OF this ter
centenary than that il should witness
the sealing of solemn pact between
us ending once and for all the hideous
and unthinkable possibilities OF fratri-
cidal strife
Ambassador Reid then read q mes
sage sent by President Taft, which
was as follows:
ITO the Tercentenary Celebration OF
the Publication of the King James
Version, Royal Albert Hall. London,
England;
1T affords me very great pleasure
to present through Mr. Reid my con-
gratulations to those who in the
mother country are commemorating so
signal a historic event as the publica-
ton OF the King James version Of the
English Bible. This book OF books has
not only reigned supreme in England
for three centuries, but has bound to-
gether as nothing else could two great
Anglo-Saxon nations, one in blood, in
speech and in a common religious life
Our laws. our literature and our social
life owe whatever excellence they
possess largely to the influence of
this, our chief classic, acknowledged
as such equally on both sides of the
sea.
Americans must therefore with un.
feigned satisfaction '.oin in thanksgiv-
ing to the God OF the Bible who has
thus bound together the Old and New
Worlds by so precious a tie.
81 can speak. I am sure, for my
fellow countrymen in congratulating
you on so significant a commemora.

SANITATION IN PANAMA.

All the world is aware, in a general
way, that sanitary conditions in the
Panama Canal Zone have been vast

applied by Americans, were intro
duced in that region. Indeed, 1T il
quite generally understood that the
former conditions down that way
could not properly be designated as
sanitary" at all, says the Manches

come reports, official and otherwise
of the advancement that has beer
made, and the public has been kept
fairly well informed in that respect
Many there are who have not forgot

In the shade anyway he made a swing

awoke his headache was gone, he
says. After that discovery he
roped his neck whenever he felt one
of the spells coming on and received
immediate relief.

Some indication OF the mass OF bills
which are dumped into the hopper at
every legislative session throughout
the United States may be gained from
the experience of a steering commit

only a few days remaining before ad.

the calendar and found 1t congested
with 100 bills, only about 25 OF

Persia is no exception to the rule
that progress toward more liberal
political regime is attended by bitter
reactionary opposition. Sometimes
this hostility does not stop with pas
sive resistance but takes the form OF
mufderous action. Several years age

recently attempts have been made on
the lives of other prominent officials
and the other day SAM ed Dowleh, the
minister of finance, was shot dead In

tive in recent reformatory efforts, and
there can be little doubt that he fell
a victim to those opposed to modern
methods in Persia.
