The Decayed Statesmen.

Undeterred by the failure of the effort
to obtain ten million signatures to pro-
test against the Presidents and the coun-
try's Philippine policy-the number of
signers was three or four thousand,
mostly Massachusetts people-the anti
quated fogies of the Bay State propose
another attempt to prevent the establish
ment of American authority there. More
than a month ago the decayed statesmen
who have fingered on the stage of life
long after their steps became tottering
and their brains grew dry and friable and
incapable of the vigor of middle age is
sued invitations for a protesting meeting.
Among them are men who were once able
end patriotic. But old age has had its sad
effects on both intellect and morals and
left them maudlin. 1t is a pitiable spec
tacle, and should be concealed as far as
the situation will permit
Naturally the first invitation was to the
most prominent of the ancient Federalists,
the Hon. George Frisbie Hoar, of the
United States Senate. His reply is pub
lished. 1t reveals no new ideas. offers no
new arguments. but is as lacking in the
indications of mental and moral vigor and
patriotic fire as his previous expressions
have been He retains enough of the cum
ming of the trained politician, however, to
prevent the exhibition of white haired
folly. \ half-century of experience as a
Republican partisan leaves its impression.
So Senator Hoar, while expressing his en-
tire sympathy with such meetings. which
he condemned with masculine bitterness
during the Civil War. urges postponement
OF the meeting 10 later time. He does not
nete that the days of the tottering provin-
] cialists are few, and that whatever they are
/ TO do in this world must be done at once
| Trembling with the palsy of senility. they
can force themselves to doze through an
hour or two on the platform, while Senator
Hoar pleads for the selfish policy of a by

ceiYed further impetus in the organization
of strong banking institution 10 promote
its objects. The bank viii have a capital of
ten million dollars, and will help the
general cause along by financing colonial
projects and developments in Palestine.
II is well enough known that a division
Of sentiment exists among American Jews
on the question of Zionism Many OF them
are too intensely patriotic from an Ameri-
can standpoint TO feel any active interest
in the re-establishment Of the throne of
David in Jerusalem. Others look upon the
movement as one tending to the fulillment
OF a divine promise long postponed. and
are enthusiastic in its support. AS a
matter Of fact American Jews, no matter
how favorable they may be TO the idea of
Jewish State, or how liberal in helping
Its establishment, will have nothing more
IMAM sentimental connection with it. To
them II is not a necessity Perhaps it NAV
net be So materially speaking. to their
oo-religionists anywhere: but that the

vantage OF the race in countries where

In these days of gigantic industrial and
development enterprises of all sorts. the
Zionist scheme is by no means as Utopian
as II would have appeared to practical
men OF affairs some years ago Early in
the present century that able and patriotic
Israelite. Mordecai NJ Noah. of New York
talked, wrote. and worked necessarily to
arouse in his people desire and deter

sidering the conditions of the world in his
generation, no doubt he was one Zionism
could not have hoped for success in 1920
or even in 1860; but it does not follow that
it may not be, an accomplished fact soon
after 1900
There are several clements of encourage
ment connected with the scheme. 1t is
understood that The Sultan is quite willing
that Jewish State should be erected in
Palestine under his suzerainty, but also
under the protection of the European
powers. The resources of the land are
probably rich enough 10 support a con-
siderable population, under intelligent cuI-
tivation and development. and. if that be
true, there would be furnished a safe city
of refuge for thousands of downtroddeo
Jews, whose rights and social privileges in
some parts of the European continent are
about on par with what they were in the
Jew-baiting. robbing, and torturing days
of the dark ages
If the creation of a Jewish kingdom will
serve to ameliorate their conditions, and
offer them, or many of them, better
chance in the struggle of life, most hu-
manitarians will regard it as a good thing.
In any event, the movement represents a
noble race aspiration. and is entitled to
sincere respect.

The Goal Is Reached.

Alalolos, the rebel capital, the goal oE
General Otis ambition, is ours The Stars
and Stripes float over the town, where il
vas expected the heaviest and bloodiest
and final battle of the war would be
fought But il floats over ashes mostly. The
rebels began what seemed to promise a
determined resistance, but they were un-
able to Withstand the terrific charges of the
enthusiastic Americans and they fed, after
setting fire to the town. The great battle
ended quickly. but our troops were unable

march again. though with fewer entrench-
ments 10 capture.
The failure of the Polo plan has had this
result. that the main body Of rebels-less
some three thousand killed, wounded, ami
prisoners-can still choose the spots where
they viii offer 10 fight. No one is to blame
for the failure to cut off the enemy from a
northern retreat. since if the country had
been less difficult to cross. Agunaldo would
have made an earlier flight
What will follow the capture of the in
surgent capital depends on AguinalGo

tory north and east of Malolos. If he at
tempts to keep his troops together the ad-
vance of General Macarthur will be taken

naido himself will take precious good care
Of his own person, but his army will sooa
surrender. The prisoners show all the ef-
fects OF short rations, and they are p,ainly
disheartened. Only the fear of American
cruelty and the threats of their own off,
GERS keep them from abandoning their
lost cause
In spite of the escape the campaign has
been brilliant and the American soldiers
have covered themselves with glory. They
have demonstrated anew that American
volunteers. unused TO war. have ali the
dash and endurance the utter fearless

Is a witness. a sergeant and acting COM
missary officer of the regular army had
told the Court at Chicago that much of

This is exactly what Lieutenant CAMPER,

Iegimental oommissary, had complained Of
the beef and rejected several shipments in

sour smell. To the two commissioned Of
lcers the agent said:
That beefs al right. That's good beef The

chemicals tliat are used TO preserve the meat
The agent denies this, although con-
fronted by the written memorandum oi

particular with that of Sergeant Mason, OF

sitting on his head, the other released the
young man from his perflous position At

verely from the injury to his breast and

injured. He is~the son of Henry C. Feete,

The Government, under Republican off,
cials. treats the importation of foreign ar
ticles as privilege and not as a right. 1t
does not assume that it should make it
easy and convenient to import things and
get them through the custom house; but
that the importers should be glad to get
them in any circumstances. The comfort
of the appraisers and inspectors is of more
consequence than the necessities of peo-
pie who buy abroad. This is a natural re-
suit of the protection idea.

the State Treasury for the relief of the taxpayers
The diminished output Of the natural beds and
the diminished earnings of oystermen in recent
years have been rapidly bringing people to favor
oyster planting on leased bottoms The great
obstacle which this policy has encountered has
been the fear of a monopoly OF the beds, and the
loss OF employment or of independents by oyster
men, There has never been any real basis for
this fear, and it was rapidly disappearing, until
now the name 'oyster trust" appears in the news
