Jews and Christians.

At meeting of Jews in Brooklyn. on
Sunday evening, to protest against out
RACES inflicted on Jews. under the Rus
sian policy Of discrimination against
them, Rabbi ALTER ABELsoN described
his race as :" the real Christians of the
world for over twenty centuries" Dur
ing all that time, he explained, we have
turned our cheek to the smiter." On the
same evening, at a meeting at the Temple
BETHEL to bid farewell to Dr. KAUFMAN
kOHLER about to leave that congrega-
tion for his new post in the Hebrew Union
College at Cincinnati, DR.. RUDOLPH
GRossMAN proclaimed that Judaism,
and Judaism alone, always spelled the
message Of true humanity"
That these sentiments 40 identical in
spirit, prevail among the Jews is shown
very strikingly in an article in the Men
orah magazine for May. in which the
Jewish problem is treated as world
problem The main purpose of the
paper is to dissuade the Jews from at
tempting to solve their race problem by
joining in the present Zionite movement
for the resstablishment of Palestine and
the renewal Of the ancient glories of
Jerusalem as the actual capital Of a
Jewish nation.
This method Of endeavoring to pro-
cure'Zion for the jew" the writer in the
MenOTdh argues, cannot solve the jew
ish problem because it seeks for legal
instead of spiritual possession of Zion,
and therefore runs counter to Scriptural
prophecies that there will be no such
return to Zion until Israel is developed
spiritually to such a degree that the
words of ISAIAH shall be fulfilled. that
out of Zion shall 60 forth the law, and
the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
That is, the Menorah paper proceeds 10
argue, the prophetic purpose of the Dis
persion, of becoming scattered over
the world" is to spread the Eternal
light to all peoples, 80 that thus our
national calamity shall eventually lead to
our inheritance of the earth, in place OF
the small strip of land, Palestine.
TO covet Il national State means
simply to follow in the footsteps of the
Gentiles," contends this Jewish writer.
"To lead the Gentiles instead of follow
ing them I'VE must become at one with
GoD;" must raise ISRAEL s moral status
above that Of the Gentiles;' must -spurn
nationalism. which, among the Gentiles.
means certain people uniting for self
interest only for "our destiny is by
example, TO elevate the Gentle up TO
the standard OF ZACHARIAH: And the
LORD shall be King over all the earth
In other words, only when the Jews are
indeed light to the Gentiles will
their prophesied destiny be fulfilled and
will it be reasonable to hope to regain
our lons-lost inheYtance,' Are we

The annual address of the president

The questions to he put by Mr. JOHN c.
HAvEMEYER and the answers I o be given by
the Yonkers labor unions at meeting now
arranged for should be carefully thought
over This observation is prompted by
this passage from Mr.. HAyEMEYERs letter
challenging the unionists
Has 1t ever occurred to you ths; tho ability or
skill, to perform any kind OF work comes from GOD
and Is a trust OF which We are bound to make good
use"
This is rather too deep in theory for prac-
tical good to come from The discussion of it.
Then again;
To what extent has any man the righ, to cease
from work and thus cease TO use the gift. and has
hr the night BY persuasion or force 20 keep other
men from exercising this gilt II he Is unwilling to
use 1t himself"
A higher authority than the expected
debate has answered this question. The
law as it is forbds man to use force to
compel another to stop work: and seeking to
injure another by hampering his business
in any way is intolerable malice.
The proposed meeting will be devoid of
benefit to the public unless the questions
are conceived in full respect for the law and
the answers given with unfinching respect
for truth.

Is Tibet Russia's:

In India attention is being turned for the
moment from the western frontier to the
northern borderland Of the Himalayas.
China, it is stated at Calcutta, apparently
on good authority has transferred her
suzerain rights over Tibet to Russia, and
the alarm over the probable loss of India's
trade with that country has already been
sounded.
Tho Engishman of Calcutta holds that
unless the. British Government is prepared
to see Indian commerce permanently ex-
cluded from the interior Of that part Of Asia,
it must he prepared to act, As military
action is indicated, all kinds of rumors were

The Consequences of Repeal.

Some newspapers and some corre-
spondents of ours mlsunderstand the
effect of repeal of the Fifteenth Amend
ment upon negro suffrage in this country.
They assume that the repeal of the
amendment would render every negro
in every State ineligible 10 be Il voter;
that It would take the ballot away from
the African race and keep ii away.
OF course, this is mistake. The repeal
OF the Fifteenth Amendment would re-
turn to the several States the full power
to prescribe the qualifications of their
own voters. The repeal would enable any
State to do lawfully what il now done
in some States in spite OF the amendment
and in defiance Of the spirit if not OF the
letter, of the Constitution.
No Northern State where public senti-
ment was satisfied with the results of
negro suffrage would be compelled by the
repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment to
abolish negro suffrage. The State could
continue to admit its black citizens along
with its white citizens to the polls.
No Southern State that desired to per-
init negro suffrage aS soon ana us idnt
as the black citizens proved themselves
competent to handle the ballot would be
prevented from so doing.
A condition of things where some
States admitted male negroes to the polls
and other States denied them the privi-
lege of voting would be no more anom-
alous than is the system of suffrage
whereby white female citizens now exer-
else the franchise in some States and are
denied the privilege in others.
Furthermore, the repeal of the Fiji
teenth Amendment would relieve the Su-
preme Court of the United States from
position most difficult and embarrassing
in the case of those Justices who believe
in guessing at resultants.
