The new movement to rehabilitate old

which has met with the appreciation OF
right-minded and unbiased humanity,
has nevertheless called forth a volley
OF adverse comment and criticism Of
all sorts.
Nor is this an unnatural or unex-
pected manifestation. The habitual

vanced for the worlds consideration,

noble object 10 be hampered by the af-
front OF a class OF so-caHed ''conserva-
tives.''
We cannot blame the disconsolate
critics. skeptics. and pessimists OF every
age and every epoch in human history.
These. l dare say. are a matter of abso-
Lutte necessity in the worlds progress
development, and the spirits are thereby
stimulated and prompted TO perfect the
desired end. The critics point out to US
all possible and impossible faults and
defects. all the attending chances Of
failure. so that We act cautiously and
strive TO overcome all difficulties and
make the enterprise a decided success.
Object of the Movement
grand effort. indeed, must be the
Zionist movement, since IL is its object
to remove a source OF endless trouble
wite al the world: TO solve the ever
sgitating and tormenting Jewish prob
lem TO relieve nations from an unde-
sired element in their midst; TO
check the superfiuous influx OF
a wretched humanity into the
borders of foreign lands; and. at the
same time, TO place the Jew on a proper
footing: TO remove from him the stigma
OF vagrancy. TO establish his reputation
as man among men: to restore him TO
human rights and privileges which were
denied him throughout the many CEN
turtles of the past, and 70 allow him 20
educate and elevate himself by enlight-
ened means and ways such as are en-
ployed throughout the civilized world.

al, which is its religious, hopes and as
piratiOns as ever it was. The Jew still
holds TO the faith of his ancestors. still
considers himself the remnant of
Israel" which. according to all divine
assurance. must never cease. The Jew
will thus readily withstand the brutal
attacks of intolerant and thoughtless
masses. He will endure and persevere
in the Divine Law of Sinai, and the
principles which distinguish him as a
peculiar people," He will never recog-
niZe any other deity save the Almighty
Ruler of the Universe, who is the Uni
versal Father of All Mankind. He will
abstain from "unclean food" as enjoin-
ed in Holy Writ
He will persist in the observance of
no other Sabbath then the seventh day
whereOn God rested in the order of Gre
alton, and which He ordained as a sign
between Him and the children of Israel
throughout all generations. He will OBJ
serve the rite of circumcision and the
hygienic and dietary laws as prescribed
in the Mosaic Code. in spite of all the
scorn and derision that may be heaped
upon him by the ignorant and the
naughty multitudes. He viii positively
guard against intermarriage with other
elements that might serve TO efface
those distinguished marks OF Israel. He
will never blot out from his prayerbook
the hope for the restoration OF Zion. In
word, the Jew will never cease to be a
peculiar people.
The Real Alternative.
It is. therefore. self-evident that the
question as TO the Jews choice between
Judaism and assimilation is no longer
TO be considered: but the real alternative
stands out clearly before the world.
The Jew stands between renationaliza-
tion and an eternal Kishineving

present age, despite the thickening
clouds OF war that now overhang the
Holy Land No matter how critical The
situation, things will doubtless be ad-
justed in the best manner TO avert any
evil. War upon inner Turkey, and the
sacred spots comprised therein, means
a universal calamity such as the world
has never witnessed. 1t will entail num-
berless crusades, and all the fends OF
Sheol are incapable to work a similar
destruction to that which such war and
conquest may portend.
The present troubled situation in the
Orient speaks itself in favor Of Zion
ism. Ere many days have elapsed. the
forces will be withdrawn. But inasmuch
as that land, which is the keystone" OF
three continents. positively needs cul-
tivation and upbuilding. and the estab-
lishment therein of a peaceful. thrifty.
Industrious. and politically independent
element-there can be no better. or more
expedient means than to settle therein
the Jews under Turkish suzerainty.
This. then. is an opportune moment
for the Zionist movement to expand and
gain ground, not only amid the dream
ers of the Ghetto" but also IN the va
rious spheres OF the wide-awake, practi-
cal. and reasoning statesmen and diplo-
matists.
Jewish Question Never Solved.

I have begun, that the Jewish question

There are those who see in ZIonism

they aver, must assimilate with the rest

to all his troubles. But in spite of these
prophets OF assimilation. it has been

LEE At GETTYSBURG.

There were so many and obvious OBJ
jections to the suggestion of Charles Fran
els Adams that a monument to Gen. Rob-
ert Z. Lee be erected in Washington at
national expense that ii was scarcely sec
onded. Such proposition was not required
to show that the hatreds of the war for the
Union had died out Besides, to erect a
monument to Lee in the capital which he
tried to destroy might be regarded as an
intimation by the national government
voting the monument that there was some
doubt if 1t would not have been better for
the American people IL Lee had succeeded.
1t is reported that the venerable Colonel
Mcclure is urging the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature to appropriate $4,000 on the condi-
ton that Virginia will contribute "A like

and of the regiments composing them.
There are statues OF prominent officers.
The mementoes are an illustrative history
of the battle. BY all means the statues Of
all the leaders should be in that historic
field. 1t is field devoted TO the protrayal
of American valor There two American
armies for three days contended for and
against a great principle which civil courts
and civil tribunals could not settle. APP
pealing to the sword. these two armies
contended each for it's belief until one
was yanquished and the other badly brok-
en-. Nearly all conceded that the right
cause won in the conflict. So much con-
coded. it is important to establish now that
each army fought grandly and even des-
perately for it's cause. and that each was
worthy of the great people that contributed
those armies 1t is desirable to show to the
world that the contention of 1S6l-65 was
not skirmish of weaklings. but a strug-
gle of giants over vital principle. Gettys-
burg, as one of the fields which the Nation
is illustrating to tell the country and the
world the story of high devotion, noble sac
rifice and high courage. should have an
equestrian statue of General Robert L.
Lee.
1t seems peculiarly proper that the State
which furnished the Confederate leader,
and by whose people his name and fame
will be cherished for generations, and the
State on whose soil this great battle was
fought should unite in constructing a statue
to Lee. We need to show to the world that
the nation which can fight such battles as
Gettysburg can forget its feuds when the
differences over which they were fought
are ended. 1t is just now. after two and
half centuries. that a public statue has
been erected in London to Oliver Crom-

after his passing, his head unburied

Indianapolis is getting more than its COM

that in view of the soot-laden atmosphere

EVANS TURNED DOWN.
Fighting Bob Has Had the Worst Of

Admiral Robley d. Evans. the Fighting
Bob of the navy in times OF deepest peace,

doughty warrior has not the telling of the

how would it do to apply the same scheme
TO the advertising of books and let the
public know more about the work and less
about the author? 1t is true that to a GER
tain extent the public likes personal gossip,
but 1T is really far less interested in stage
people as class and in the authors of the
newest books than theatrical managers and
book publishers seem willing to believe. 1T
is not until the actor or author has made
good work that the public takes any real

During the last few weeks a good many
thousand people have been vaccinated in
this city, and at the rate of one dollar per
it has afforded quite a harvest for the doc
tors. The comparatively few cases of
smallpox i'm the city have not furnished
any cause for alarm, and yet it is just as
well to be on the safe side and there is
some satisfaction in feeling that one is
immune. Of the thousands who have been
yaccinated many have had several uncom-
Portable days and some have been made
sick abed Many have wondered why such
disagreeable results should follow so simple
an operation. They do not know that vac
cination communicates disease called
ccwpox. The operation does not end with
the puncture that is made in the skin for
the purpose of migrating the cowpox. That
is only the beginning of a mild course of
disease which is accompanied with consti-
tutional disturbances, more or less severe,
The usual results of vaccination are so dis
agreeable that it would not be worth while
to incur them except as preventive
against the much more serious disease of
smallpox. Just how or why the milder dis
ease prevents the more serious one is
one of the secrets of nature which even
scientists cannot clearly explain. but there
is no doubt whatever as to the prophylac-
tic power Of vaccination. The term, by the
way, is derived from the Latin ''vacca,' a
COW. DR.. Jenner, the discoverer and first
practitioner of the process. believed that the
diseases were essentially the same, and he
succeeded in demonstrating that person
who had the milder one could not take the
more severe one. He lived to see his dis
covery recognized throughout the civilized
from it. Honors were conferred upon him
by foreign courts, and he was elected an
honorary member of nearly all the learned
societies of Europe. The British Parlia-
ment voted him in 1902 a grant of $4,000
and in 1907 second grant of 100000. He
died in 1928. and in the year 1858 public
statue in his honor was erected i'm London.
Persons who suffer with fever break
ing pains and other disagreeable symptoms
after vaccination. can have the satisfaction
of knowing that they are helping to confirm
Jenner's great discovery and that after
their vaccination has taken" they need
not fear smallpox
