is ZIoNIsM A REMEDYe

The offer made by Great Britain to
the Zionist Congress at Basic, Switzer-
land, of a vast tract of land in East
Africa for the founding a Jewish state
is the subject of great deal of COM
ment in this country as well as in
Europe. AS to whether the offer will
be accepted or not is a question that
has not yet been decided. 1t seems to
be a fair one. The new state would
have British protection and an autono-
nous government, and it would be sub
ject only to British suzerainty. At pres
emit there doesn't seem to be much
probability of the Zionists getting pos
session of Palestine. The president of
the congress at Basic said, in his open
had been made to the Sultan had not
met with much favor.
The Zionist movement, which began
about thirteen years ago, is the result
Of a desire of the Jewish peo-
pie to possess the native land
of their race and of the persecu-
ton to which the race has been SUBJ
jected. But is the movement a RENE
dy for the prosecutions to which the
Jews are subjected in Russia and other
lands? Some of the wisest of the Jew
ish leaders think it isn't. They do not
hesitate to say that it is the cause
of persecution, that it encourages anti
Semitism.
If we are not mistaken, Jacob Schiff,
the eminent banker of New York, takes
the position that the problems which
confront the Jews must be fought out
in the lands in which they are domi-
ciled-that the Jews will ultimately sue
coed in winning justice in every land
where it is now denied to them.
Simon Wolf of Washington, D. c., has
but little, If any, sympathy with Zion
ism. In speaking of it the other day.
he said: 81 admit that it voices the
endured agony of all ages; that it
sounds the trumpet tones of outraged
and prosecuted humanity, but is Zion
ism remedy? l emphatically deny
it," Further along in his talk, he said:
The Jew, to be of service, must be
the pioneer of civilization in every
land, and not the religious recluse and
fanatic of the Holy Land. Listen to
the sage advice of the true patriot of
every land, and especially to those of
the United States, for here, and only
here, will the Jew finally find his Zion.
Here he aids in the unbuilding of ali
the states as a citizen, and not a Jew.
and safety and liberty lie in this and in
no other direction.
1t is doubtful if the Jews of this
country have great deal of sympa thy
with the Zionist movement. They find
work to do where they are and prob
lens to solve, and they are giving their
best efforts to the work and to the So
luton of the problems.

ity with Cuba and a lower tariff on
Cuban sugar. This feeling has been
greatly allayed." We should think so.

which the President turned the Cuban

day. but the result was not announced
until Friday night. and, even then, it
was impossible TO announce Maj. Ward
aman's majority.
An interesting question in connection
with this contest is this: Did the course
of the administration in the Indianola
(Miss.) postoffice case, the Crum ap-
pointment and the Booker Washington
White House dinner incident contrib
ute in the least to the success of Maj.
Vardaman?
1t will be recalled that the campaign
in Mississippi was in progress when
the Indianola postoffice was closed by
the Postoftice Department because the
people objected to having a negro
woman for postmaster. And about the
same time the Washington and Crurn
cases were being discussed. All of
these cases had much to do in intensi-
flying the race feeling, and it would
not be surprising if they contributed to
Maj. Vardamap's success. There is
very large negro population in Missis-
sppi and there was a conservative feel
ing there in regard to negroes. Before
the discussion Of the race problem be-
came so intense the sentiment there
seemed to be in favor Of letting the
negro have chance to better his con-
dition.
We are not prepared to say that the
discussion had the effect of changing
this sentiment, but the election of
Maj. Vardaman on the issue of deny
ing the negro a chance of reaching the
ballot by means Of education seems to
indicate that the sentiment has un-
dergone a very great change. If the
change was not brought about in the
way indicated we are at loss to point
the cause of it, assuming, Of course,
that the sentiment was in favor OF
giving the negro a chance to better
his condition through education before
the discussion of the race question was
brought on by the action of the admin
istra ton in the cases mentioned.

The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-08-30

The friends of Senator German have
suggested a demonstration in his be-
half as a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for President on the occa-
sion of the meeting of the Maryland
Democratic State Convention in Sep
tember. The convention will be held
in Baltimore, and the idea is to have
the convention meet one evening in
a theater, where, besides the delegates,
other Democrats of the state and other
states can assemble and join in a de-
monstration for German for President.
OF course, if this programme is car
ried out it will be an announcement
by Senator German that he is a can
didate for the nomination, because he
will control the convention. He has
not made such an announcement yet,
nor even admitted he was a candidate.
Will the fact that the Bryan forces
captured the Democratic state con-
vention of Ohio have any influence
in determining the course he will pur-
sue as to the announcement of his can
didacy? 1t is doubtful if it viii. If
it is his purpose to be a candidate the
sooner the fact is announced the bet
ter it viii be for him. Being an avow-
ed candidate he will be in a position
to counterfeit the efforts Of Mr.. Bryan
TO dictate the Democratic National
Platform and ticket in 1904.
Judging from what has taken place
in Ohio and Nebraska it is the pur-
pose of Mr.. Bryan and his friends to
leave no stone unturned to control
the Democratic National Convention.
They may not have a majority of the
delegates, but if they succeed in get
ting one-third Of them they will be in
a position to prevent nomination that
isn't satisfactory 10 them.
Mr.. Bryan and those who are Al
sympathy with him are busy getting
their forces into shape for the strug-
gle. 1t is important therefore that
those Democrats who are not in SYM
pathy with him, and who think that
to follow him means certain defeat,
should begin the work Of organizing
for the contest at once.
If Senator German should become a
recognized candidate for the nomina-
ton these Democrats who are opposed
to reaffirmation of the Kansas City
platform would acknowledge his lead
ership and consent to receive instruc-
tions from him. For that reason and
others it is probable that the propos-
ed action of Senator Germans friends,
on the occasion Of the meeting Of the
Maryland Democratic State Conven-
ton, is likely to meet with pretty
general approval.

WHO MAY BREAK AN ENGAGE
MENTs

Has the feminine party in an engage
ment of marriage the sole right to an
null the contract? Is the party of the
other part ever justified in usurping
what is regarded as the feminine privi-
lege and announcing that it would be
best, in his opinion, to break the en-
gagement?
Those are questions that have been
discussed lately. Much has been writ
ten upon both sides, some holding that
it is the inalienable right of the woman
and others that the man can, with
equal justice and facility, smash the
matrimonial prospects.
1t is unquestionably true that the
popular view is that to the woman
should be accorded the sole right to
break a marriage engagement. A gem
tleman, it is said, never breaks such
an engagement. The woman is allowed
to exercise the judgment of her mind
or heart. If she finds that she was
wrong in accepting a man, or that she
thinks she was wrong, she may so in
form him and throw him over and the
proprieties have not been violated. A
mans Judgment, probably equally as
keen, might prompt him to the same
conclusion, but he would violate the
popular conception of the manly stand
ard if he should say that he desired to
be released.
Salient arguments may be advanced
he
the woman breaks the engagement her
position can be sustained; if the man
breaks it, his position can be sustained,
possibly not if it is asserted that chiv-
airy and gallantry should rule, but it
can be il be finds that it is not in
his heart to believe that marriage
would mean the best that is in life for
the woman and himself. Certainly
it would seem that the man would be
justified in turning away If he should
find before marriage that the cere-
mony could not be followed by the
happiness of both.
Is it not well, though, that the pop
ular demand is that the engagement,
if broken, shall be broken by the wom-
an? An engagement of marriage
should be but a degree less sacred
than the married relation itself. If So
ciety sanctioned the breaking of an en-
gagement by the man would it not fol-
low that men who lack the stamp of
true gentility would rush too precipi-
lately into engag ements, confident of
an ability to rush out again without
difficulty? Would not flirting invade
the realms of engagements?
