 UNITED STATES

Mexico, the land of unrest even to- .fiay. declared war against the United lEtates seventy-two years ago, and thus began, the conflict that was to result in the loss of a large and most valuable part of the territory of the
 Mexican republic. Nearly a year passed, however, before hostilities ac- ltually commenced, and it was not un- itil May 13, 1s46, that the United States answered Mexico's defiance with a declaration of war. James
 Knox Polk had been inaugurated just Ithree months before. and two days later the Mexican minister demanded his passports A revolution in Mexi- leo, however, kept the government well occupied, and it was not until

 incident of the Civil War. was the

OPPOSITION TO DRAFT

The widespread plot to interfere with conscription shows that every center of irritation in this country will be encouraged by our enemies to ferment and produce violent acts. A series of anti-draft riots in our cities would be highly pleasing news in Berlin.
 But alien spies need not think that riots can be produced to order in this country. The rioting that is so com mon in the capitals of the Old World is different kind of thing from the violence seen. in this country Mob action over there is commonly a pro- test against the tyrannies of govern ments. the hitting back of people who can not be held down indefinitely.
 We have it Is true had plenty of disgracefuI mob violence in our own cities. But these are not attacks on the authority of government. They are commonly a revolt against indus trial authority. Also there are many race riots growing out of friction with such elements as negroes, Chi nese, etc.
 One finds almost no violence mani fested here against our government, because the most submerged elements feel that the government is friendly to them. The faults of our govern ment do not lie in the direction of tyranny. o
 While the anti-draft riots will not amount to much, they are significant as displaying the thorough and in sidious organization working against us at home. Violence of this kind needs to be drastically handled. for effect on future disturbances, and as | a display of the practical unanimity | of American feeling.

INTOLERANCE.


 The Federal papers in this state see<n determined to prove on- work more conclusively than we could do It without their aid. We claim that every man has right to exercise his religion and his vote according to his conscience and that the platform lederalists have systematically vio- lated the right and to hold us under ecclesiastical and political subjection.
 Now the Federal papers come out with great zeal to deny this. and by way of proof that we are free they have used every man who undertakes to act like a freeman. unless he acts under their control. Republicans have never expected to be treated with any decency; but Episcopalians have been followed and posted like Southern ,runaways because at the last election they voted as they thought proper. Where is the mighty political arbiter, who is able to direct his own vote and 0Si other mems votes? We are willing that all men should vote and worship as they please, and we have no con ception of liberty on any other terms.

PREACHED AND STOLE BICYCLE

 Merchants of this and several other cities are said to have been vfctimized by one Beers, soap drummer, who seems to have penchant for address ing religious meetings and hiring bicycles and running off with them afterward. He is now awaiting trial for the theft of wheel in New Haven and it is said the Elm City authorities have other charges which they will bring against him.
 The crook hired a wheel of Bearver & Clark, bicycle agents, and then tried to get away with 1t. Arrested and re- leased after heS had paid $10 and re- turned the wheel. Later he returned to New Haven and was arrested in a raid. He managed to secure an Ital- ian on his bond and departed after getting his liberty. His bondsman had about given up hope of catching him. A member of the firm for whom he where their agent contracted accounts. They find 8 large number of bills which they refuse to pay, contracted by him.
 During his few weeks stay in Derby the crook posed as churchman and addressed religious meetings Sunday afternoons. His last address was to young men whom he urged to live honorable and upright lives as the only means of gaining and retaining the good will of men.

The 12 roads are less than TOO miles long, and as there are 51,000 miles of steam railway in the United States if the casualties on the New Jersey roads can be taken as an average for the whole country the annual mortality on the railroads of the United States would amount to 5,60.

LORD WALTER LIONEL
 ROTHSCHILD A ZIONIST

The manifesto or the ConJoaHt Jnommfttee of the Board of Deputies of British Jews and the Anglo-Jew- fish committee opposing the Zionist movement and declaring that the Jews of that country have no desire Ito establish publicly recognized, le- IgaIly secured homeland for the Jew rIssh people in Palestine, has caused 'tLord Walter Lionel Rothschild, of tfhe famous Rothschild family of bankers, to declare himself @ Zion list and in full accord with the poll &ical and territorial program of that party.
 In his protest he is joined by Rev. Dr. Joseph H. Hertz, chief Rabbi of !England, who declares in an open let her that the manifesto of the Con ijodnt committee is not only misrepre- tentative of English. Jewry, but that lit does not even represent the opin- Non of the Board of Deputies and of fine Anglo-Jewish association, even though the manifesto is signed by the tpresidents of both of these organiza- Hons. The organizations themselves, bsays Chief Rabbi Hertz, were not con aulted regarding the manifesto, and therefore disclaim any responsibility whatsoever for it.
 Eikan Adler, the brother of the fldLe A1n1eN tkhdpUl OA 6ASAdLius lkdS Slv- len added force to his protests against hhis manifesto, by resigning from the LConjoint committee, of which he was Ian important member, for what he ldenounces as "a reasonable act"
 Lord Walter Lionel Rothschild is batter in his denunctatfon of the action of the ConJoint committee, and makes k7nis wrath more pointed by declaring himself a Zionist. Lord Walter. the first of the famous Rothschilds to .1dn the political Zionist movement brands the 'ConJoint committee as an Insignificant coterie which is endeav- bring to frustrate the twenty century long Jewish hopes and aspirations. He denounces the charge or the com rnittee that the Jews are seeking more Tights in Palestine than it's present inhabitants. as an utter false hood. The Jewish people demand nothing more," says Lord Rothschild, s'than to live its own life and mould its own Sdemt1ny like any other na- tion."~ The announcement by Lord bRothscxf1d of his adhesion to the Zionist movement, makes it possible 1or the Provtsional Exscuttve con- 1ntttee for General Zionist Affairs to make public the fact thst he has been active in the potit3cal nsgotia- lions of the movement sinne last Jan- pary.
