3ews ano the peace TceaI.


1t is not that Jews have paid their tribute to
the wargod history teens with instances of Hebrew
valor on the battlefield, and at the present moment
Jews abound in continental armies. But, after all,
men of peace. We prefer to see the world
moving to higher development along the paths Of
scientific and industrial progress to wasting its vi
tally in International strife, however picturesque and
however moving. Nay, are men of peace, because
peace is part of faith people and the great
est of our national ideals All Jews are taught from
childhood to be 'of the disciples of Aaron loving
peace and pursuing peace" This is almost the DOM
mating note of liturgy; the first and last of
prayers is Peace; the greeting of friend to friend,
the great hope with which our dead are committed
to their last resting place, the loving word which
never fails to leap to Jewish lips at the men,
ton of the of the departed. And history has
taught us that warfare, while it may educe noble
characteristics here and there is the whole de-
basing factor in human life, which tends to lower the
moral of the world and let loose the latent
agery of many of our species.
Jews have suffered most keenly, not in the times
of peace, but in days like those of the Crusades when
the Christian powers had taken the field and orsaken
tranquil courses And while we have most to lose
in war have most to gain in peace when the for
ward march of human industry and human knowl-
edge provides outlet for Jewish capacity and
egy and teaches the nations the true place and value
of our in the worlds economy. 1t is with the
utmost pleasure, therefore, that that the
vice of two distinguished Jews are being utilized at
the coming congress-one, Professor Asser in the in
terest of Holland and the other M Raffaovitch, on
behalf, significantly enough, of the Russian govern
ment. Is it too much to hope that M Raffalovtch's
services to the will induce him to grant peace
too his hapless Jewish subjects ?Jewish Chronicle

THE JEWISH SOUTH.

cellent improvements in the manner OF living Espe
cal attention has been given to secure pure arr clean
water, and nourishing food Children are better fed
all classes are better housed, and epidemic diseases
are controlled But there is remarkable increase in
the working power of old men which exceeds the ex-
tension of the term of life. The elderly men in the
army and navy have borne the fatgues and expo
of the last year with wonderful exemption from
disease In all professions and trades the mental and
physical activity of elderly and old men and women
has been greatly increased during the century. We
think for thisextension of the term OF active
service may suggested by acomparson oportraits,
say, of military and naval commanders who were
famous in the beginning of the century and those
now in active service. Take any hafdozen famous
commanders who past sixty years OF age to-day,
and the characteristics of them all will be features
that are clean-cut and firm; whereas the pictures OF
active two three generations earlier frequently
represent fabby cheeks, infamed noses, pendulous
lips and double chins. The inference IS directly
that the habits of eating and drinking a hundred
years ago very different from those OF to-day.
1t may be that many officers of the army and navy
drink wine now as formerly, but it is certain that
the excuses of former days would be impossible now
No man of his age could drink bottle of port with
his dinner and keep the clear eye and ceancut fea-
lures so marked in the portrait of Admiral Dewey.
The habits of eating and drinking which were the
fashion three generations ago fixed the limit OF ply
steal and mental activity and the date OF superannu-
tion at an age which men and women now pass with
mpunity and in the full exercise of all their powers

SIX MONTHS RESIDENCE.
This t Requires to Make a
Qualified City EIector.

Vuaii''Ou City LitCtOI, !,
Judge Springer this morning az
dressed to Mayor John J. Huh
bard Of Alton, a communication q
which the following is copy:
i Dear Sir:-In my letter to you
published in The Daily Chleftail
OF Monday, March 9th, j statee
that in my opinion "any male ii
inhabitant Of the Indian Territory
who is citizen of the United
States, or has declared his inten.
tion OF becoming citizen, or who
is citizen OF any Indian tribe in
Indian Territory, of the age of 81
years, who has resided in the In
dian Territory twelve months, and
in the judicial district of the In
dian Territory in which the elec-
tion is held six months.
and in the voting pre-
cinct or ward one month next pre-
cedlng any election where he NAV
propose TO vote, were qualified
voters at municipal elections in
the Indian Territory"
Since writing that letter my at
tention has been called to section
904 Of Mansfeld's Digest. which
is part of chapter 20 of that d.
gest, under which all cities and
towns are organized in the Indian
Territory. In that section it is
stated as follows:
ANY person who, at the time
OF the election of municipal Of
hcers, is qualified voter under
the laws Of the state for state or
county officers, and has resided
within the corporation for six
months next preceding the cleo
ion and thirty days in the ward |
where he offers to vote, shall be
qualified elector. All elections
hall be held and conducted in the
manner prescribed by law for hold
Dg state and county elections, SO
ar as the same may be applica-
'le."
Had my attention been called to
his section, 904, / should have
lodified my opinion. Therefore.
a view OF the provision of that
ection, and also OF section IA of
ne Curtis law, my opinion as to
ne qualification Of voters is modi.
ed as follows:
Any male inhabitant Of the Ia.
ian Territory, who is. citizen of
le United States, or citizen Of
1y Indian tribe in the Indian
erritory, Of the age of q years,
no has resided in the corporate
nits OF the town or city in which
lch election is held, six months,
,ecediDg any election, and in the
'ting precinct or ward of the city
le month, provided said city OF
wn is divided into wards, shall
entitled to vote at all elections
the people in the cities and
WINS in the Indian Territory. If .
i'd city is not divided into wards
e qualification as to six months 1
sidence shall apply. (
