A CHANGE NEEDED.

The territorial law providing fol-
the election of trustees in towns
along the Government railroad is on
a par with most of the laws en-
acted by our territorial legislators.
1t is so worded as to create doubt
in the minds of voters as to its
meaning, several points being some
what obscure, as the result of the
use of words which may have much
or little meaning.
If it was the intention of the
trainers of the act to restrict voting
to those residing within the limits
of the townsite, as decided yester-
day by the judges of election, that
part of the law, at least, should be
altered before another election is
held. Our community is too small
to be divided, as the law apparently
seeks to divide US. The News is
of the opinion that no distinction
should be made between residents
of the town and residents of the
Commission reserve, in SO far as
voting is concerned. We are one
big family, all of US living in much
the same way, devoted to the up
building of the community in which
we reside, and dependent, directly
or indirectly, upon one source of
revenue.
The News is in favor Of so
amending the law as to prevent a
Occurrence of yesterdays division.
We are for one town, one vote, and
one purpose.

ORPHANS IN SIBERIA.

How to care for LOO children
from Petrograd, who became wards
of the American Red Cross, is a
question which DR.. Doremus Scud-
der, head of the refugee work of
that organization, is trying to solve
as benevolent foster father.
The youngsters were sent to ST.
IBERIA last summer by the Bolshevik
government, because of the food
shortage in Russia, and were cut off
from any possible communication
with their parents by the outbreak
of hostilities between the Czechs and
the Bolsheviki. They arrived in a
body at Mass, so miles west OF
Cheliabinsk, in charge of teachers,
and thereafter scattered in groups
to Cheliabinsk, Troitsk, Ekaterin-
burg. Tiumen, and other towns.
Their teachers deserted them and
they were left to charity.
! The desperate plight of 800 of
the waits at Mass came to the at
tention of Y NJ. C. A. Secretary
Compton, who came through from
Samara. After doing what he could
for them and enlisting the aid of
his friends among the Czechs,
Compton appealed to the Red Cross
to look after them.
The result has been that the Red
Cross has colonized this group of
children at Turgayak, a mountain
resort Is miles from Mass, after
much negotiation with the owners
of some 25 "datchas" or summer
cottages, and is planning to con-
Sohdate with them various other
groups to the number of 800 to
! 500 more. In addition, there are
500 colonized at Tiumen.
The actual work of organizing
the Turgayak colony has been done
by Gregory WEIGH, of the British
Society of Friends. Alfred ]. Swan
and Mrs. Swan, also Britishers, are
looking after educational work
among the children, and Miss Lillian
WEIGH, an American, is devoting her

Too Much Speed.

This speed mania is getting to be
an awful thing Everybody is rush
ing and hurrying-can't go fast
enough. You would not think that
fire department could develop too
much speed, but they can. Too much
is more than enough. The other
morning the fire chief was going so
fast in his "red devil" that he ran a
mile and a half past the fire before
he could stop.-Butler (Mo.) Demo-

CHEMICAL PROGRESS.

Delegates from England, France.
Spain, Mexico and other countries,
including industrial leaders and the
keenest experimenters in the chem
lcal world, are expected to partici-
pate in the fifth National Exposition
of Chemical Industries, which will
be held in Chicago in connection
with four important meetings OF
chemical societies, September 22-27
The societies are the American In
stitute of Mining and Metallurgical
Engineers; the American Ceramic
society; the American Electro Chem
ical society, and the Technical As
ISOLATION Of the Pulp and Paper In
dustry.
Three hundred and thirty exhibits,
representative of forty different in
dustries, will be shown to prove that
Germany has been surpassed in her
own field and that America now
easily leads the world in the chem
ical arts. Through the exhibits and
the papers to be read at the meet
ings of the various societies, the
world, it is said. will learn authori-
tatively just what America accom-
plished in the laboratory during the
war.
Much of this war development, it
is declared, will be equally valuable
in peace. Experiences with poison
gas, for example, resulted in the in
vention of masks and other devices
to protect workers in industry from
noXious fumes Substitutes have
been found for the drugs and dyes
formerly imported from Germany; a
potash industry valued at $31,961,-
626 has been built up, and new
processes have been found for
hardening steel, bronze, and other
metals
Among the exhibits promised at
the exposition are acid and alkali-
proof bronze of such hardness and

VOODQO|S1S Of
CUBA VICTIMS
Of LYNCH LAW

| HAVANA, Cuba.-With the re-
cent sudden outbreak of cannibal-
istic practices by Voodoo worship
| ers, which rave resulted in the
deaths of at least three innocent
children and a half dozen of the
lVoodooists, the latter by the ap-
plication of lynch" law for the
first time in this country's history,
fathers and mothers are living in
constant fear that their little ones
may be spirited away by the super
Istitious negroes to be offered up in
sacrifice to Change" the god of
the ~Brujos," as they are called
in the Castilian language.
The Voodooists are divided in
various sects, each with its separate
god. The latter include "Baba-
Igueye," god of sickness; "Elecua::"
god of injury; "Olorrun," god of
misery, and Change" the terrible
god, to whom human sacrifices are
made
"Chango,' according to the Woo
doc belief, was the son of Olorrun
and Anaragua. He was slain by
Elecua, the god of injury" and
Iascended into heaven from a Ceiba,
or god-tree, in the month of May.
1t is in the month of May, there
fore, that the "Brujos" observe
their holy week, when Change is
expected to make a visit to the
earth, descending by the Ceiba, his
sacred tree, always on Monday.
The followers of Elecua do not
directly offer human sacrifices, al
though their healers sacrifice the
lives of some patients, by giving
them poisonous connections, suppos-
eddy mysterious cure for some
ailment, in order to restore to
health some other patient, Elecua,
being the god of injury" his fol-
lowers believe that good can come
to one person only through injury
to another.
Voodooism is not practiced by
the negroes alone Many white per-
sons also are said to secretly take
part in their religious meetings, and
accusions have been heard in vari-
Gus quarters of the difficulties en-
countered by officers seeking to
break up their temples because Of
| obstacles placed in their way by
persons of influence.
An active campaign by the au-
thorities in Havana and other parts
of the island has resulted in the
capture of numerous "Brujos" and
the seizure of many curious and
weird objects used by them.

But stronger than their genuine
convictions of the superior merits of
the new faith is their anxiety to drop
and to lose the name Jew, if pos
sible. It sometimes seems to us that
that is the real desideratum. Being
a Jew or a Jewess is sometimes
quite inconvenient for the profess
sionally, or commercially, or social
ly ambitious. And if there is an
easy and "smart" way of getting rid
of this handicap, why not avail one
self of it? If that is the case, let us
not blame rabbis, and other earnest

6ciently provoked at such disloyalty
