NO D1srRess SIGNAL NUrpnD.

Notwithstanding the periodic lamenta-
tons Of those who persist In inhabiting
the dismal swamp Of gloomy forebod-
ings, We find every little while signs Of
encouragement for the young men for
whom the pessimists picture nothing but
dreary distress. When we are SO re-
peatedly told that the young man Of
today has no chance to rise in the world
as compared with his father and that
the avenues of advancement are gradu-
ally being closed to everyone not pos
sessed of inherited influence or wealth,
1t is refreshing to listen to such words
as these from an eminent authority who
can speak with weight with respect at
least to his own profession.
II am not a pessimist," said Judge
Murray f. Tuley, Chicago's most noted
jurist, at a bar banquet rendered him
last week on occasion of his completion Of
seventy-ive years, thi%rty-three of them
in service on the bench Of the same court,
II do not believe that all has been retro
gression since my early times. l have
seen three generations of lawyers In
Chicago and of the first all have passed
away excepting those 1 could count ON
the fingers OF one hand. A new gen.
eration-young men-is controlling the
bar today. and 1 believe they are su-
perior to those / first knew"
If the young men are at the front in
the legal profession, the same is true
Of medicine, science, education, in fact,
all the professional branches, to say
nothing Of the great Industrial fields in
which new names by far preponderate
ove those most familiar even a decade
ago. The law Of the universe is change,
and the changes wrought in the bar
referred TO by the judge just quoted
have counterparts in every path OF
human progress. No signal flag Of dis.
tress is needed to stihe ambition and
dampen hopeful ardor-the lesson of the
past complemented with reliance on the
present should infuse all the confidence
required to face the future and grapple
successfully with its problems.

sisted TO emigrate there. With the pres
ent number in those two countries be
tween 100000 and 100000. the relief
Afforded to those left behind would be
inappreciable unless the oppression they
now suffer is to some extent raised. The
true zionism can carry out its mission
most fruitfully by working to amelIorate
the hard conditions where Jewish perse-
cutions are still pursued and to secure
for the Jews the same rights of person
and property, of education and the pur-
suit of gainful occupation wherever they
are that are accorded other people. En-
joying equal opportunities the Jews will.
as all history a~ttests, readily accommo-
date themselves to environment and pro-
vide for their own wants without in any
way burdening or imposing upon others.
With encouragement resting on assur-
ance that merit will be rewarded with
out unjust discrimination, the Jews,
whether In Europe, Asia, Africa or
America, will work out their own saliva
ton as individual citizens Of the various
countries to which they have attached
their allegiance and see in the stored
return to Palestine merely a beautiful
picture Of religious idealism.

THE IRUE zlONISM.

Commenting upon recent cable dis
patches bearing information that DR..
Herzl, president Of the Zionist congress
held at Basel, Switzerland, is negotiating
with the sultan for Jewish immigration
concessions In Palestine with a certain
measure Of simple home rule, the Ameri-
can Israelite asserts that their changed
plan means the Zionists have entirely
abandoned the political part of their
program and intend to devote them
selves exclusively to aiding the Jews
of Russia and Roumania, where perse-
cution has become almost unbearable,
to settle in Palestine. Accepting this
as correct, 1t is certainly a far step from
gathering together all the Jews from the
four quarters of the globe to reconstruct
the Jewish state In Palestine as origin
ally heralded forth, to establishing a
eharity-supported haven for Jewish refu-
gees unable to rely upon their own eff
forts to better their condition.
The inherent weakness of the Zionist
movement as early pointed out in The
Bee lay in the assumption that the Jews
everywhere are not only dissatisfied
with their present lot. but look upon
Palestine as the promised land. where
alone fortune can be made to smile upon
them. That the great body Of Jews
who have fixed their homes In this
country regard themselves as Americans
first and above all things aud could not
be persuaded by any pledges or induce
ments to their American eiti
zenship seems to have been altogether
overlooked by the Zion promoters. AND
what is true of the American Jews is a,
a rule true i'm only lesser degree of tn,
Jews In England. France. Spain, Austrls
and most OF Germany. To transplant
themselves to an exhausted and deserted
land purely out Of sentimental consid
erations, with a complete loss Of all tina
has been gained toward recognition o
their rights in all these civilized coun
tries, would be a sacrifice as UNDESIRABLE
as it is unnecessary.
The true ZiOnism does not need to loOI
TO Palestine for its field to cultivate
Even for a colonization project Pales

out. is far from being a land OF promise
because with the best efforts only
small fraction OF the dOwntrOdden Jew
OF Russia and Roumania could be Al
