The Jew i'm Trade Unions.

The position of the Jewish race in industry
is a peculiarly interesting one Their activities
almost entirely confined in this country to
a few trades, such tailoring. cigar making
and the like. This is not due TO any previous
industrial training, for scarcely more than 10
per cent. of the Jewish immigrants seem to
have been tailors, for example. at home; while in
New York until recently practically all of the
clothing manufacture was in their hands. The
race is in fact condemned TO follow these
sedentary trades because of their physical dis
abilities. BY reason of their predominance in
these few chosen occupations the condition Of
trade-unionism therein plainly reflects certain
racial peculiarities OF the people. Professor
Commons in his excellent report on immigration
to the United States Industrial Commission,
aptly described the situation in the assertion
that even in his role of trade-unonist the Jew
ish conception is that of a tradesman rather
than workman. The Jew will join a union
only when there is bargain directly in sight in
the shape of material advancement.-William u.
Ripley. in March Atlantic.

sweetness of the Russian Emperor. The con-
trast between the melancholy and reflective
Car and the exuberantly vital Kaiser, bub-

conversed with both. 1t must rot be supposed
that the Car Nicholas H. is destitute Of
strength because his habitual outlook life is
rather enc of Oriental resignation than of the
hopefulness that might be expected from the
head of a great Christian nation. The Car

voice is gentle and womanly. The dignity is

A LAw-ENFORCING SOUTHERN GOV.
ERyOR.

Governor Vardaman, of Mississippi, has
set an example of law enforcement which
is worthy of imitation in other States and is
sure to have a beneficial influence in the
South. His action in calling out the mil
tia TO prevent the lynching of two negroes
was, in the circumstances. very notable.
In the first place. Governor Vardaman
has been outspoken in his hostility to
negroes and was elected on a strong anti
negro platform. His known views on the
question were such as to lead a certain class
of people to believe that he would not so
out of the way to prevent the lynching of
a negro who had shown himself eligible for
that kind of treatment Then. TIE crime
committed by the two negroes in this case
was peculiarly atrocious one-the muir
der of one white man, a highly respected
citizen, and the fatal wounding of an
other. They deserved the full penalty of
the law and there would have been more
justification for their lynching than for
many others that have occurred in the
South.
But for the prompt action of Governor
Vardaman both of the negroes would doubt
less have been lynched. One OF them had
already been seized by a mob when the
Governor caused his rescue and had him
taken by special train to a place of safety.
The other one also was In imminent peril
of his life when he was sayed by the militia,
who were also used to guard the prison
where the negroes were confined. A special
from Meridian, Miss, says: "All Miss
issippi is tonight ringing with praise of
Governor Vardaman." This shows that
| courageous performance of duty elicits the
approval of law-abiding citizens every
where.
In an interview on Monday the Governor
is reported saying:
1 can sympathize thoroughly with
| one whose friend relative has
dered by black brute and I am not COINS
/ to cenSure people who act a little indiScreet-
/ ly under the influence of passion thus
! aroused. but there is one thing certain: the
/ law must be upheld and long as / oc-
| cupy the gubernatorial chair / shall do al
Il within my power 10 see that the laws are
| enforced The courts must perform their
/ functions When this is done the people
| will be satisfied.
This is good doctrine. and. coming from
a Governor who is known as a negro hater
II will go far toward strengthening the anti
lynching sentiment In the South Their,
