Mark 7:31-37.
And when he tiptoed near to the
of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the
sea Of Galilee through the midst of
the coasts Of DecapoIis.
And they bring unto him one that
was deaf, and had an impediment in
his speech; and they beseech him to
put his hand upon him.
And ne took him aside from the
multitude, and put his fingers into his
ears, and he spit, and touched his
tongue;
And looking up to heaven, he sighed,
and saith unto him, Ephphatha- that
is, Be it opened.
And straightway his ears were
opened and the string of his tongue
was loosed, and he spake plain.
And he charged them that they
should tell no man. but the more ne
charged them, so much the more a
great deal they published it:
And were beyond measure aston
ished, saying, He hath done all things
we'll: he maketh both the deaf to hear
and the dumb to speak

MISSIONARIES INVESTIGATES
CONDITIONS IN PERU

CONDITIONS IN PERU
Immediately there came TO the atten-
ton of missionary societies of the
United States and England that atroci-
ties are charged upon operatives in the
rubber producing industries of Peru,
investigation was begun of the Catholic
and Protestant status, and a study
made Of what religious and relief work
was actually being carried on there.
It has already been found by the
American societies that almost nothing
IS done for the operatives that is
either directly spiritual or for their
social and moral welfare. Societies have
religious work in Peru, but il is not
among these rubber producing people.
A meeting has already been held in
London and the regions beyond IN
ion, the South American Missionary
society. the Evangelical Union of South
America and the British and Foreign
Bible society have offered help. Amer
lean societies have been interviewed.
The Methodist is the only large American
society having work there. It's work
is wholly in the three cities of Callas,
Lima and Tarma, all far removed from
the Amazon rubber district of north
eastern Peru The Methodist society
has replied to the English Protestants,
however. that it is willing to cooper
ate as far as able. The English So
cieties reply that they are going ahead
chiefly through the South American
Missionary society, which is Anglican.
There were early reports circulated
that only Catholic work might be car
ried on there, and appeals have been
made to American Catholics to assist
on this ground, viz, that it is a Cath
Ollie responsibility, but the English
PrOtestants send word that societies
already working there meet with no
opposition if they limit their work.
which limit they say is not material
in this rubber industry emergency. Pc

lies to grant full religious liberty, but

tains. The English societies say they

work and are going ahead.

"NEWS THAT IS NEWS"
Bryan Says Democrats Will
Watch the Interesting Fight.

ogden. Utah. Feb. 2s.--In an interview
given Immediately after his arrival in Og-
den to-day. william j. Bryan, who came
here 10 speak before an Ogden audience.
commenting on Theodore Roosevelt's dec
laration of his candidacy, said: {.
The announcement of Mr.. Roosevelts $
candidacy for President IS news that IS
news except that II was foreshadowcd BY
his speech at Columbus, Ohio, and by an
Outlook" editorial on a Third Cup OF
Coffee"
Mr.. Bryan added II would be an interest
ing fight. which the Democrats would watch
intently.
Mr.. Bryan in his address this afternoon
caid he would like to know why Mr..
Roosevelt should he called back into the
ring after he left It 10 give place TO Mr..
Taft IT would seem that Mr.. TAFT has
u rown the Republican party into political
bankruptcy. and Mr.. Roosevelt is being
called back in an effort 10 make good the
mistakes Of the man ne selected as his
successor
Surely Mr.. Taft could not have received
the nomination for the Presidency had IT
lot been for Mr.. Roosevelt four years ago,
and he could not have been elected had It
not been for the help OF Mr.. Roosevelt.
There Is much humor in the situation for
Democrats. The Republicans have long
watched with pleasure our internal con-
troversies. and now We are watching with
considerable interest tie troubles within
their own ranks" q

Helping Taft Every Minute

The coIonels advocacy OF the recall Of
judicial decisions and the peculiar incu-
baton Of his candidacy are helping Taft
every minute, and the April primaries VIII
be even easier than the March primaries.
After the convention the question Will
be: What will the always interesting colo
mel do next?
Public utterances on this subject like
those on the third term and on his willing
ness to be an open candidate. must always
be subject to Interpolation and mental res
ervation.
'"Wlll he be candidate at the Baltimore
convention? VIII he bolt his party and or
ganizc a third party?'
The Roosevelt headquarters are in charge
OF Oliver e. Carpenter. a young man, but
one who has had some experience I'm
former Presidential campaigns. In 1904 he
retired from the legal bureau OF the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor TO
work for the election OF President Roose-
welt under George u. Corteyou, then
chairman OF the national committee. Four
years ago he was at the headquarters In
this city under Frank Hitchcock Since
then he has been practising law AT No. 20
Broad street IN this city, as a member OF
the firm OF Holmes. Rogers & Carpenter.
He is to have with him at the Roosevelt
headquarters George Manchester. who for
many years was secretary or the Repub-
lican County Committee here, but who has
been out OF politics for some time. He
worked under Lemuel Ely Quigg In the old
days, however. and II is believed has re-
membered many Of the tricks Of the game
as worked by Mr. Qugg In those days.
Evidences of the sumptuous way In which
the headquarters were TO be furnished sur
prised some OF those who dropped in yes
terday Five rooms were already I'm the
process OF furnishing. and Mr.. Carpenter
said that several more might be taken
later II II was found they would be needed.
In his private room there was a steel en-

STATE FAILS TO RALLY
Legislators Seem to Care Not
Where Coloners Hat Is.
In lrelegrarh to M Tribuno. ]


Albany. Feb 2s.-If there is any wide
spread enthusiasm among Republican poll
ticians upstate over tho fact that Colonel
Rooscvelts that Is in the ring Il is being
skilCulIy concealed so far as the people
here are concerned. Indeed, the Roosevelt
letter to the Governors seems to have pro-
duced an effect precisely the reverse of
enthusiasm for the colonel's candidacy.
II Is curious situation. 4 week or two
ago many Republican Legislators and poll
icians from tho rural counties and the up
state cities were telling one another and
the casual inquirer very conhdentially how
weak Taft was In this state Tariff, the
Canadian reciprocity treaty, his trust bust
ine programme through long drawn out
lawsuits which had paralyzed business 80
all these things had set the farmers and
merchants and manufacturers I'm their parts
Of tho state against tho President, these
men said. They were intensely pessinis-
tic about his chances for obtaining ma
jority even of the New York State delegates
to Chicago; they knew in their inmost
bones that II the national convention fool
ishly nominated him he party would be
carried TO certain defeat
Now many Of these same individuals
are pretty warm Taft men. The Roose-
welt declaration apparently has converted
them When Taft appeared to be the only
candidate, he was bad choice in their
opinion They told OF the great Roose-
velt sentiment among their home people.
Yet tonight their talk does not indicate
any overwhelming Roosevelt sentiment.
II may be there among the voters Just the
same, but they don't seem TO feel the
same way about 1t they did when the
ooloners candidacy was more or less
matter OF speculation. They talk freely
enough about the situation, but not for
publication. The tenor of all the talk is
regret that the kind of fight which must
result has been precipitated by Mr.. Roose.
welt in a year when the Republican party
Is bound 10 have troubles enough ct the
hest. And whenever some Republican Is
voicng sucn sentiments TO a group OF his
sympathetic fellows some Democrat Is
sure to come along and laugh heartlessly.
