RHODES AND THE RACES.

Cecil Rhodes belonged to Great Britain. and 1t
is for Great Britain TO pass upon his career
The whole world may have its opinions Of him
and may express them But there is no occa-
sion for other people than British to grow hot
and shri in either denuncation or defence of
him. The obligation which does rest upon
all men is TO deal with him according TO the
facts So far as his will is concerned. however
at least two nations besides the British are di-
rectly interested in it. almost much as
Great Britain itself. and Of these the United
States is 1t may therefore be deemed
proper for Americans to insist upon a truthful
and honest Interpretation of that remarkable
document. and TO correct any misapprehensions
which may arise over it. There current
some gross Measurements of it's purport and
also some grave misrepresentation.
Perhaps the most noteworthy misapprehen-
sion of the intens of his will is that which DR.
Felix Adler seemed to be laboring under
Sunday when he spoke of Rhodess scheme for
union of all English speaking people for world
domination and denounced it immoral as
impossible and a deluson." The simple fact is,
of course. that Rhodes had no such scheme. and
certainly preached none such in his will. What
he did aim at a moral and intellectual ap-
proachment OF Great Britain. Germany and the
United States; and Germany is surely not an
English speaking people" His expressed pur-
pose. moreover was not world domination
but the preservation of the peace of the world;
a very different thing. and certainly not an i'm
moral one Instead OF the version attributed
10 DIR. Adler. the purport of Rhodes VIII is to
he described a scheme for the union of the
three most populous civilized nations for the
peace of the world
That is not immoral. On the contrary, it
savors Of the highest morality. 1t is not to be
admitted that it is impossible or deiusion- IL
has been the custom Of some TO call Rhodes "A
dreamer" of others 10 call him pirate. an

ever, that the great majority of his dreams have
been practically realized. and there is good rea-
son 10 think this last of them will be or may
