DANIELS FAVORS HOME
| FOR Jews IN PALESTINE

Gates Jail for Those Guilty
of Criminal Libel.

NEW YORK, February Endorse
ment of Arthur ]. Ralfours pledge In
behalf of Great Britain for the es-
tabli shment in Palestine of a national
home for the Jewish people was
coupled with prediction that the
end Of religious persecution through
out the world would result from the
war by Secretary of the Navy Daniels
in an address here last night He
spoke at a dinner given by the Zion
ist organization of America for the
Palestine restoration fund.
The Secretary said that this holy
movement has our Godspeed to all
WHO are engaged in it," adding:
"We love every foot OF land which
David's psalms and Solomon's songs
have made dear to all Jews and
Christians But could not in con-
science be with you and share your
religious and patriotic fervor as l do
in full measure if l did not know your
whole hearted devotion to the prin-
ciple of religious liberty and that you
hold as dear my right and the right
of all men to religious freedom as
you demand it for yourselves and
your children"
He declared that one of the delayed
blessings that shall be some COM
pensation for the tragedy of the war
'is that we shall not only in our day
see religious persecution ended
the whole world, but, what
Is quite as important, we will help TO
usher in an era where not only the
letter Of the law, but the spirit as
well, will remove from our country
even the semblance of persecution or
prejudice toward any American citi-
zen"
Abiding to the first amendment to
the Constitution guaranteeing free
dom of speech and freedom OF the
press, the Secretary declared some
people think they are ordained to say
what others shall think, or what
others shall say, or what others shall
print"
There are laws against slander
and laws against libel by an ire
sponslbie press" he added. "These
laws should be enforced and the uni
form of convict on slanderouS
editor is the only costume that be-
comes him. Any private citizen or
public officer ought not to be called
upon to bear the burden by suit for
| libel against viliflcation and slander.
Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Ford
| had the money and the prestige to
compel a verdict of libel in civil suits,
| but the state should have undertaken
such prosecution, and the penalty
should not be damages, much or little,

TANLAC DISPLAY
MAKES GREAT
HIT
Unique and Attractive Display of
Celebrated Medicine Attracts Much
Attention.

An advertising display which has
attracted unusual interest, has been
placed in the show window of the T.
!. Halle Drug Company on East Pine
Street, i'll this city, the local agency
for the well-known and highly sue
cessful proprietary medicine, Tanlac.
The display is not only interesting
from an advertising standpoint, but
is educational, combining in an at
tractive and artistic manner beautiful
scenes from many foreign countries
where the ingredients of this prepara-
ton are obtained.
1t has occasioned such favorable
comment in the city that the proprie-
tors OF the store state that it will re-
main in their window several days
longer.
Work of Great Artist.
The display is the work of one of
Americas greatest photographic art
lists and the manufacturers of Tanlac
state that the total cost will exceed
sixty thousand dollars, which is said
to be a record price for window dis
plays. It is in ten distinct and nat
ural colors, and presents scenes from
the Rocky Mountains, as we'll as from
Europe, Asia, Peru, Egypt and other
foreign countries.
The natives are seen in their nat
ural habitat and environment, gather
ing the roots, herbs and barks that
form the medicinal ingredients OF
Tanlac, packing them upon the backs
OF camels, elephants, llanas and other
beasts of burden for transportation
by land and sea to the immense lab
oratories at Dayton, Ohio, and Wal
kerville, Canada
One of the most striking features
of the display is the reproduction OF
the magnificent laboratory at Dayton.
Here the artist has very effectively
and impressively ,protrayed the pop
ularity OF Tanlac by introducing a
group OF people in all walks OF life,
who are looking at the Tanlac lab
oratory with expressions of conf
dence, plainly indicating their belief
and faith in the medicine.
Another distinctive feature is the
bulletins accompanying the display.
They tell briefly and concisely of the
marvellous growth and development
OF Tanlac, until today it has the larg-
est sale OF any medicine of its kind
in the world. These bulletins also
quote various standard medical au-
thorities as to the therapeutic and
physiological effect of the medicine.
