good work, the best evidence It
found In the platform adopted two
years later by the New York state
republican convention, presided over
and wholly dominated by Theodore
Roosevelt, which reads as follows:

Canadian Dissension.
The threat ot a resolution In the
Manitoba legislature .providing for
secession of tht western provinces
of Canada from tht Dominion aa an
echo of tht recent reciprocity cam
paign, suggests many Interesting pos
sibilities, whether It lacks serious sup
port or Hot It tends to show, whst
waa apparent at the time, that if
the Question had been divided and
the two sections allowed to vote on
It separately, western Csnada prob
ably would have accepted our reci
procity treaty. It cannot be de
termined from the action of thla in
dividual Manitoba legislature how ex
tensive this feeling of discontent is
even in Manitoba, to any nothing of
the other eight provlncea comprising
western Canada, or even it It Is pre
dominant In. Manitoba, whether It
la elsewhere. Each province haa Its
own legislature, but In a matter of
thla kind concerted action would be
necessary.
Conservative Judgment doubtless
will tend to discredit any likelihood
of secession, and yet it would not
be impossible If It were determined
upon. England's authority In Can
ada, while official, ia largely nom
inal. The lawmaking power ta vested
In tht king, or bit representative, the
governor-general, and the Dominion
Parliament, which consists of a sen
ate and house of eommons, tht mem

to suppose that In tht event ot se

would acarctly cart to see, neither
half of the Dominion would suffer
for lack of contact or sympathy, for
whatevtr goes wrong In Canada, Its
people have the resources of the

Did Jeraa Believe la Reincarnation t
OMAHA. March t-To the Editor of
The Bee: In hist Monday' Be Ella
Wheeler Wilcox make a statement so far
at variance from the truth that It ought
not to pas unchallenged. She aaya that
"Jesus Christ believed In reincarnation,"
and in support ef this statement refers to
Matthew al:tt and Mark lx:ll. where
Jesus la reported as aaylng that John
th Baptist "Is Elijah that k) to come."
8h adda thea words, which seem to
carry a lltthj sting to them: "Just why
the orthodox Christian church choose to
be so silent regarding these urfmlstakable
assertions of Jesus Christ Is One of th
many unexplained problem of modern
Christianity."
If 1 may venture te enlighten Mrs. Wil
cox as to why this Is so, 1 should say
that tbe evident meaning of Jesus la the
passages referred to I that John the
Baptist was a man woo wrought In ths
same aplrit and followed tha aame Ideal
that actuated th great prophet of Otlead.
The Idea of Incarnation cannot be found
her except as It 1 dragged In by a spe
olal pleader wbo la hard put te It te find
a baala for an argument
Christianity and the Hindu philosophy
of reincarnation are antagonistic In tbe
most thorough-going sense, ' The lattei
teaches that redemption la te be secured
by a long process of rebirths, at the end
ot which the Individual finds hi heaves
in being swallowed np In th universal
consciousness of God. This notion of
th transmigration of soul originated
among savage people on th lowest levels
of anlmlstle religion.
Christianity, on the contrary, standa for
palingenesis, that la, tbe aplritual rebirth
ot the Individual In the life ot the spirit
It stands for the sharing of every true
believer In the essential life of God. As
Lyman Abbott says; "Christianity I the
life of Ood in the soul ot man." Th
teaching ot Christ aad tb New Testa
ment I clear and definite on th point
that personal destiny I fixed in this life.
Not many Uvea, but on la allotted for

Indeed, on short Ufa Is long enough tor

The Bee: A a member of tb bar, and
hating beea bora and raised In tb atate
ef Georgia, where It Is suDaoeed the
prejudic against the' negro has few, ht
any, limitations, (which. In my Judgment
Is without foundation), I want te add my
protest against the action ot th Ameri
can Bar asoc tattoo committee ta exclud
ing Hon. William H. Lewes from member
ship In the association after he waa once
elected. His knowledge of tha law and
Ma professional ethics are in no wis
diminished by the color of his skin.
The negro ht not responsible for being
in tbat country. Hla presence here cre
ate a problem which must he solved de
cently and wisely. His tot la life ia pa
thetic; bt advancement meets with, eb
struction from every source, socially,
economically, poll tic ally and otherwise.
So lens as Ws deny to men ilk Mr.
Lewis tb legitime! fruits ot hi ef
