SOLDIERS SAVE
THEIR COHRADE
Arrive in Time to Balk Lynch
ing Plans.

PORT TOWNSEND. Wash, Sept. 12.-
That Private John Crosse. Seventy first
Company. Coast Artillery, was not
hanged by lynchers is entirely due to
the timely appearance OF fellow soldiers
when the men engaged in searching fer
the assailant of Mrs. Jackson found
him disguised and hiding on WILDLY ISL
and, several miles from Fort Casey.
Knowing the sentiment prevailing
among the farmers, Sheriff Comstock
lost no time IN soliciting the aid OF the
soldiers. and was enabled to land Crosse
safely in Fort Casey gUardhOuse, where
he will be kept until the case is dis
posed OF. the calabOOse at Coupeville,
the county seat. being az old structure.
from which it would be easy 10 escape
or for d mob 20 take a prisoner.
Crosse has been all but positively
identified as the man who committed an
attack upon Mrs Jackson, the wife of a
farmer living near the Government re
serve. on Wednesday morning. His
frantic efforts TO seerete himself after
having effected disguise, aud the fact
that lie was ths only one absent from
roll call, point 10 Crosse as the guilty
party Excitement ran high on the ISL
and for a time. but the promptness with
which the arrest was effected has partly
allayed the anger OF the farmers, who
are now content to allow the law 10
take its course.

BANKS WITHDRAWING
CIRCULATION TOO FAST
May Thwart Secretary Shaw's Plan to
Relieve Money Stringency.

National banks are crowding each
other in their eagerness to retire circu-
iation. Applications for the withdrawal
OF bonds deposited 10 secure circulation
came into the Treasury Friday 20
the amount Of $3.50. 900. The September
and October limits Of applications are
now exhausted and applications for
$l.100.000 are on file for November
1t is pointed out this scramble 10 re-
tire circulation will tend to defeat Sec
retary Shaw's plan to relieve the money
market by the deposit of the special
emergency fund OF $40 900. 900. 1t is sug-
gested by a high official OF the Treas
ury that the Secretary is likely 10 refuse
to make new deposits or to Increase de-
posits in banks that retire circulation
now.

Russian Jews in Palestine Such and
similar steps were taken by others
abroad.
All that is now necessary is that the
public press espouse this righteous cause
and urge its speedy realization, which
Michael Davitt earnestly recommends.
Russia Promises Help.
Russia herself has openly declared her
willingness to help in the emergency
so long as IT may tend to decrease
Jewish population within the bounds OF
her territory" Other European
countries. or America. cannot possibly &c

to emigrate from Russia, Roumania,

and measures are being employed 10

these shores. Review the general situa

There is no way out OF the confused
situation except that home be secured

511 the Best $olutton Of the Jewtsb Problem :

The Jew is driven from place to place
and loaded with the weight of universal
oppression. He is spurned, outIawed
and ostracized everywhere. He is sur
rounded by contumely and maIevolence
He is made the football OF fate, now DO
tected, now oppressed. He is never safe
and nowhere secure against the on
slaught Of brutal gangs, and that not
because he is in any way inferior to
any other section of mankind in inteIH-
gence, industry, sobriety and usefulness
but because he is Jew.
Jewish Martyrdom.
There is no suffering on earth like
the Jewish sufferings, no martyrdom like
the Jewish martyrdom There is no
other race question but the Jewish
question" The reason of this last ts
easy to surmise. The member of any
other race will either assimilate ami
lose its identity. or return TO his ma
tive land. Different altogether is the
situation in the case of the Jew. whe
can neither assimilate. so far as his
race is concerned, nor can he go back
to his native home. for he has no home.
His is, therefore, a curious position.
curious enough so as to involve the con-
cern and care of all nations and sections
of mankind. Some Will sympathize with
him, while others will despise him: some
will harbor him, while others will seel,
to destroy him.
And this situation will never he re-
lieved unless the 'despised Jew" when
thrust out, be allowed to 20 back to
Judea. where he be given the oupor-
tunity 10 rise TO a nobler, better life. so
that instead of the burden of many ne
may become a blessing unto himself and
others, as he was ever destined 70 be-
A Universal Question.
Considering the fact that the fate of
the Jew has always been entwined with
that of every other nation-the Jewish
question" is a universal problem, and
once brought to the attention of civil
lied mankind, the plea for repatriation
of the homeless Jew cannot fail to
evoke it's merited support and the
worlds hearty cooperation.
No less an authority than Michael
Davitt has recently declared himself in
thorough sympathy with Zionism, rec
ommending ii as a most effcacious.
and, in fact. as the only remedy for 5he
terrible condition OF affairs in Russia,
which he has seen with his own eyes,
and which he carefully studied.
The American newspapers have lately
published a statement TO the effect that
over 200 prominent Christian clergymen
in this country have Jointly resolved TO
appeal to President Roosevelt to use
his good offices as Chief Executive Ct
the United States for the repatriation of
The Washington times., 1903-09-13

Let then Jews all the world over bring
their cause 10 bear upon civilized man
kind and strive TO enlist therein the CO.
operation Of all the world Let Jews agf-
tate Zionism in spite OF the callous and
the overcautious in their midst. Habit
ual Jew baiters Will never become any
better by the Jew trying 10 hide from
view and continuing in his degraded
state. On the other hand, right thinking
humanity can only look with approba-
tion upon the earnest struggle Of the
oppressed Jew for his emancipation
see no sin in such step, nor men
ace to the public veal The society OF
man Will surely profit thereby.
How long. o Lord, how long will The
Jew be exposed to the maiIgnity of the
wicked? This question should now be
solved by an earnest and united effort
on his part. The miraculous providence
that rules the world. and which has
never allowed the Jew to pass into
utter degeneration. despite his many
bitter trials and tribulztions-this es-
peciaI providence is now again working
the salvation OF Israel through the most
palpable means and natural manipula-
tion, even "as the rain descendssh on
the ground, and watereth it. so that IL
bring forth seed"
THE unexpected always occurs" Is
the dictum OF q practical statesman
But would 1t not be justice 10 the ex-
pressed idea 10 be thus transposed:
THE VIII OF Providence always occurs7''
This noble cause of Zionism also
should be espoused as a heavenly bless
ing sent from on high for the ad-
vantage OF All mankind
