 The Jewish Passport question has recently been raised with vigor. The result of the agitation was the resolu- tion of Congressman Sulzer, calling for the abrogation of the Treaty of 1892, which was passed by the House of Representatives, only one vote ex. cepting.
 Ther President Taft announced that he would exercise his constitu tional authority to abrogate the trea- ty, by and with the consent of the senate.
 The treaty of 1882 was negotiate during the presidency of Andrew Jackson. by, James Buchanan, whc was empowered to make a treaty O commerce and navigation with Rus sia.
 In that treaty was embodied th, following language:

PENNSYLVANIA RAISES COMMISSION
 TO INVESTIGATE VACCINATION

in the exhaustive fashion of the Brit ish Parliament, many years ago. But more facts are accessible at, this time, and it should be easier to reach 8 conclusion.
 The Royal Commission made a di- vided report, the majority declaring vaccination useful, and the minority condemning it as carrier of dan gerous and filthy diseases and use less as a preventive of smallpox.
 The net result of the report was a modification of the English law. which had vigorously commanded vaccination, making the rite compul- sory upon every subject, whereas now the law is changed so that no subject need be vaccinated who goes through the form of lodging with tho proper officer a '"conscientious objec- tion."
 Such a change in the Pennsylvania law is perhaps all that the anti-vac- cinationists demand, though some of them would have the practice of in- oculation with calf pus not only for bidden. but made criminal under the law.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-12-21

Pennsylvania has established vac- cination commission, which will in- quire into the whole question of Jen- nerism and its results. The commis- sion has been. named by Governor Tanner, under an act of the legisla- ture. It Is composed of two anti vaccinators, two regular physicians, strongly committed to the practice of vaccination, to wit, DrsS Schamberg and Welch, and three laymen trained in the consideration of evidence. The commission follows long contest which has waged in Pennsylvania be- tween the anti-vaccinationists and the orthodox physicians. The lay mem bers are Former Governor Penny packer, George Wharton Pepper, g we'll known lawyer, and Emil Rosen- berger. lawyer and financier. Por- ter Cope, one of the anti-vaccination- ists on the commission, has several times lectured upon the subject, in this city, under the auspices of Major Thomas Boudren.
 It is unlikely that the Pennsylvania Investigators will go into the subject

A HOME CHARITY.

A judicious purchase of Red Cross Stamps will be a true Christmas mercy, and one that may react bene- ficially to the giver. Tuberculosis is a disease that does not always play favorites, and no one is quite safe as long as the malady exists Two stamps are offered to Bridgeport pur- chasers at this time, but it would seem as if the Red Cross stamp should be nearer to Bridgeport people than any competitor. The cause .s good in either case, but the proceeds from the Red Cross sale will be used entirely in Bridgeport. The sale, moreover, is conducted under the aus piees of the Visiting Nurses Associa- tion, a local and respected organiza- tion, Home charities. like home indus tries, ought to come first.
