LETTER FROM A QUAKER

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind.. May 7. Guerney Binford, a Friends missionary in Japan, writing to relatives here, says of the war situation in Japan: "From all I can se I judge there is not a man, woman or child throughout the whole country who is not watching with deepest interest to see the results of the war. There is not anyone, I think, who has any doubt about Japan being successful in the struggle, but there seems a very strong feeling that it will be a desperate conflict. I think that Russia has entirely mis-taken the temper of Japan, and I fear some dreadful loss of life in battle before the end comes, though I pray that peace may soon be brought about on terms of justice and that the selfish aggression of Russia may be ended. "Another thing remarkable is the surprising economy which is observed iu every place. People are not spending more money than is absolutely necessary. Related families who have occupied two houses are closing one and two families enter one house. No one is putting out money for repairs, etc. To such an extent is economy practiced that it seems to threaten productive Industry and bring trouble upon laboring classes. I tell them that it Is foolish to do so, for while the general claim 13 made that this is done for economy to save money for the war. In reality it is extravagance because by the stopping of the regular channels of industry the necessary funds and provisions cannot be produced. It la said that at present the Emperor is eating from only one dish, a rice bowl, and that his food la the same as that given to the soldiers. He is doing this, they say, to set an example of economy and show sympathy with the people."

BAD CHRISTIAN EXAMPLE Facial to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., May 7. Taking for his subject "Lessons of the Local Election." Rabbi Morris Feuerlicht addressed a largo congregation at the Jewish Synagogue last night and raised a voice of protest against the persecution of Henry Rosenthal, the Republican candidate for mayor, whose creed alone caused his overwhelming defeat. The affair has been uppermost in the minds of Lafayette people for a week. Rabbi Feuerlicht denounced the man who deliberately broke his oath to support the Constitution of the country by voting against freedom of thought and worship. "What would the Founder of Christianity have said." asked the speaker, "if on Tuesday last He had come to Lafayette and seen hundreds of men calling themselves by His name scratch from their ballots the name of another born in the same faith In which He was born? It b. hooves the citizenship of Lafayette." h- continued, "whatever the reliclous or political creed, to meditate and consider the lesson of the past week. Let the earnest and whole-hearted men and women who are ever ready to light the battles of justice and freedom go forth and teach the lesson: let these weed out and destroy the pettiness and narrowness among us; let these inaugurate the campaign of education which is neces-'aty to restor the fair name of our city."
