. A Lack Of Churches.
Writing of the church as civilizing
power, Colonel Roosevelt says:
"A very short experience of commu-
mites where there is no church ought
to convince the most heterodox of the
absolute need of church earnestly
wish there could o. such an increase
in the personnel and equipment of the
Catholic church in South America as
to permit the establishment of one
good and earnest priest in every vii
lage or little community in the far In
terror. Nor is there any inconsistency
between this wish and the further wish
that there could be marked extension
and development of the native Protes-
tant churches, such as saw establish
ed here and there in Brazil, Uruguay
and Argentina, and Of the Young Mems
Christian associations. The bulk Of
these good people who prefer religion
will continue to be Catholics, but the
spiritual needs of more or less con-
siderable minority will best be met by
the establishment of Protestant
churches or in places even Of Posi-
twist church or ethical culture society.
"Not only is the establishment Of
such churches a good thing for the
body polite as whole, but a good
thing for the Catholic church itself. for
their presence is constant spur to &C.
tivity and clean and honorable conduct
and constant reflection on sloth and
moral laxity.

Berlin-One of the most revolving
crimes in the dark history of Russia
was reported here in a special dispatch
from st. Petersburg, telling of three
Russian youths having outraged and
then crucified the daughter of poor
Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the
Volga.
After outraging the young girl, the
dispatch declares, the three youths
dragged her to a cemetery, where they
nailed her to a cross above one of
the graves. Nails were driven through
her hands and feet and even through
her eyes. The three murderers were
arrested, but their friends in the town
released them and they escaped, it is
asserted.
