workman at nearby brickyard, who
is admitted even by his enemies to be
honest, was apprhended. As is not un-
common in Russia, some necessary evil
dence was manufactured with the aid
of the police and members of the
BLACK Hundred society, which is al
days eager to incite an attack on the
Jews. But it seems that the combined
efforts of his enemies have not been
sufficient to incriminate an innocent
man. After nearly two years of ac-
tiyity in collecting alleged evidence,
during which time the accused man was
kept in solitary confinement, and de-
MED even the privilege of consulting
his lawyers, the proof offered at the
trial was of such a fiimsy nature that
even the reactionary anti-Semitic local
journal. the Kievlyanian protested edi-
torially against the farcical proceed
ings. For this it was duly suppressed
by the authorities. That the Russian
government favors the ritual mur-
der theory can be seen from the fact
that the former chief of the secret
police at Kiev, who has been conducting
an independent investigation and came
very near discovering the real perpe-
traitors of the crime and laying bare
the motives of the conspirators. has
been suspended from office, tried on
some trumped-up charges, and impris-
oned. But, perceiving how this attempt
to revive a long-forgotten superstition
and incite the ignorant mob to violence
against the Jews has impressed the en-
tire thinking world, the saner ele-
ments among the Russian reactionaries
have been trying to minimize the sig
nifcanee of the case, and have urged
the necessity of its speedy disposal

AWAKENING IN PHILIPPINES

y Toni the Living Church.
To learn what Christianity does for a
people you only have to go from the
philippines to Malaysia. The difference
between the Malays and the Filipinos is
the difference between darkness and
dawn. We find the extraordinary phenom-
enon Of an Oriental people isolated in the
Orient and part of the solidarity OF the
western world. The religion of Christ
transcends the bond of race, and ignores
geographical contiguity.
In their Christianity, even though a
Christianity which needs to be vastly i'm
proved, lies the. directing and conserving
force of the Filipinos as a nation. The
mestizos are already past masters in
politics. What is needed Is added char
acter, which comes to those who are given
facilities for self realization through the
agencies of civilization, under the aegis
of the Christian faith. Given that, there
Is capacity in a Christian people for de-
velopment. Governmental efficiency will
rise automatically with the growth of
character. 1t cannot be forced.
The most recent experiment of the
american government In giving the bal
anee of power to the Filipinos on the
commission was the most conservative
measure that could be enacted If further
step toward the consummation of au-
tonomy was to be taken. An executive
order can be rescinded If the privilege
granted by it is abused, whereas congress
sional action would make withdrawal from
a position once taken we'll nigh impos-
sible.
This last step is an experiment, and IL
is for the Filipinos themselves te prove
that it was a wise experiment. Speed in so
momentous a matter as the making OF
nation is a thing TO be feared rather
than courted, and I hope that the last
vestise of Spanish political influence will
have vanished before that crowning phase
OF liberty which expresses itself in ma
tional Independence is considered and
granted. When those who are now school
boys are old enough and experienced
enough to take the lead in the public
life of their people, it will be time enough
to discuss Independence.
