A mass meeting, held at the local synogogue last evening and arranged by the Jewish War Relief committee, brought forth most interesting and en- -aging results from the work of the inhabitants towards the aid of sufferers in Europe, par- cou local Jewish war ticularly Russia and Poland. After a few introductory remarks by the M. D. Saxe, and reading of regarding the collection of {he money gath- ered in for this purpose, the main speaker of the evening.

(Bridgeport ) One of the unfortunate facts partisanship in matters of gove ment is seen in the unreliability t attaches to statements from the op- position, those out of office and wish- ing to get in. Recently there a concerted effort to show that the president w much disturbed by Mr. Root's eat-them-alive speech. 1% the president found time to read thi speech at all, which is very doubt- ful, he would, in the nature of things have found it a source of surprise, rather than of disturbance. He would have wondered that a man claiming to the stature of states- man should utter anything so al- together puerile in thoughts and un- American in sentiment. Ths morning, in the same parti- san newspaper, a driving effort is the idea that the president has been inconsistent in his stand upon submarines. Not that it would make any difference with the duty, if the president had changed his mind. That is a very stupid man who cannot or who will not adopt a new viewpoint when it is necessary, or best, to do so. But he has not changed his mina On the contrary, he anding con- sistently upon the proposition enun- Farmer. of at was i William H.

But the observer saw only half her day’s cycle. The next morning may have found her in a business of- fice, capably and quietly attending to business. Or perhaps he saw some girl home from a college vacation. He heard talk of dances and chafing-dish sup- pers.

Opposition in the legislative branch, whether or not it is effective in changing the course of our negotiations, serves only to weaken our position at Berlin and to retard rather than to help any settle- ment. If Berlin believes that delay will re- sult from American authorities. en- gaging in a dispute over the course to be followed, she will realize that such a dispute cannot work but to her ad- vantage and she will endeavor to pro- long the argument to foment such a condition. But let Berlin understand that the United States has decided up- on {s course and that the representa- tives of the people are behind the e ecutive in his demands and we sh reach a settlement more quickly. A congressman with any gra: the fundamentals of statesmanship and diplomacy should recognize these That is not the way of the species. It is borne more and more upon our facts and govern his conduct accord- ingly. SPEEDS IN VAIN 10 DYING MOTHER Mrs. Mary M. Mellon Passes | Away Belore Her Son Gets Home 6 TO 9 O’CLOCK.
