Jews of New York City.

The Jewish World publishes an es-
innate of the number of Jews in
Greater New York based on the num-
Der of Jewish burials as recorded by
the board of health. These amounted
IN 1901 to 1897, and as the death rate
in the most congested Jewish dis
tricts is little over Is per thousand
this implies population of 533, 1873 in
the middle of 1901. Since that time
no less than 1925 have arrived at
New York and staid there, while by
natural increase of births over deaths
another 21,4OO would be added up to
August 1 of this year, making a
grand total of 5S4,7SS.

was pointed out by Mr.. Schurman
ring tribes and savage races that yet
inhabit many of these islands. These
people are no more fitted for self-gov-
eminent than were the various tribes
of Indians who roamed about the
great plains of America before the in
vasion Of the Pacific railroad. 1t will
take years of time to elevate them to
a standard of civilization that will
enable them to carry on any govern
ment based on democratic principles.
The proper policy for the govern
President Roosevelt in his message,
when he said: cit is our purpose in
the Philippines to give the islanders
a constantly increasing measure of
self-government exactly as fast as
they show themselves fitted to exer-
else it, and to make our administra-
ton of the islands honorable to our
nation by making it of the highest
benefit to the Filipinos themselves"
Whatever sympathy the American
people may have for the Filipinos,
they but realize that this country, hav-
ing assumed the responsibility for
their government, cannot recede by
allowing it's population to relapse into
barbarism or to destroy itself in in
ternecine warfare.

fairs of the federal government and
those of the people into close touch
and a more sympathetic relationship.
1t is to be regretted that the crea-
ton of a mining portfolio does not
seem to be among the possibilities Of
the present session. for the great ore
producing industry has assumed a
magnitude that reaches far beyond
the division of statistics into the
permanent industrial life of the peo-
pie.
The industry of mining, including
the production of the precious metals
and coal. is so essentially separate
and apart from other lines of indus
trial activity, and is of such magni-
tude both as to the number of mem
constantly employed and the value of
the product, that the creation of a
cabinet position devoted wholly to its
concerns would reflect credit on the
law-making power.
Unfortunately, however, a very large
proportion of the people residing in
the agricultural areas of the country
look upon mining as a sectional indus
try, and carry the same prejudice
against it's demands as they do against
the plea for the irrigation of the arid
belt.
1t is too much to hope for to expect
members of congress from the corn
husking districts of the east and mid.
die west to acquiesce in any, PROPOSE
ton that might place the mining in
dustry on a level with their own in
the federal affairs of the nation.
For the present the mining inter-
ests of the country must be contented
with whatever of value may come to
them from the statistical bureaus of
the nation, and forego the advantages
that might be derived from a repre-.
sentative close to the throne.

is STILL STRENUOUS.

Notwithstanding ali Ia. LIS been
heard of late concerning the toning
down of the president and the alleged
decrease of strenousness, it would
seem that he is still capable of ex-
pressing his wishes and doing so in a
manner not to be mistaken whenever
he considers that the public interest
demands a little plain talk from him.
Take, for instance, his letter to the
secretary of the interior in regard to
the appointment of forest rangers.
That does not exhibit any of the al
legged decadenceof strenuousness which
we have been assured is now SO man.
ifestly apparent in TEDDY 1t GER
tainly is couched in very emphatic
He plainly tells the secretary that
only practical e must be appointed
to these positions, and that they must
be western men, men who have the
benefit of practical knowledge to guide
them in the discharge of their duties,
and that eastern college bred dudes
are non grata to the head If the ma
ton. Theory is all right in the opin-
ion of the president, but practical
knowledge and experience discount it.
FOR that reason he desires that the
forest reserves shall not fall into the
control of theorists who take advant-
age of their position to work out some
abstruse theoretical problem to the
manifest detriment and injury of the
settlers and the reserves themselves.
1t should not be considered that
the president because of his western
experience and the knowledge he gain,
ed while knocking about with the
men of the frontier, when there still
was a frontier, have caused him to
become imbued with the contempt for
book learnin' characteristic Of sc
many of the men who believe in nc
other knowledge than that gain
ed by actual experience, or that he is
