A MOST JEALOUS ZIONIST

There are lovers of good literature that de-
sire Israel Zangwill should devote himself to his
profession Of letters and leave the Jew problem
to others. But the man that wrote ''The Chill.
dren of The Ghetto" "Dreamers of The Ghetto
and Ghetto Tragedies" cannot remain Indifferent
to the oppressed of his race. In the recent con-
ference at London Of prominent Jews from Eng
land Paris, Berlin and St. Petersburg Lord
Rothschild presided and Israel Zangwill made
an impassioned plea for the wretched Jew; in
troduced resolution expressing indignation and
horror at the Russian outrages, and declaring
that the establishment of haven of refuge an
autonomous Jewish colony, for the gradual recep-
ton OF the oppressed, was the only solution Of
the question. Max Nordau and ZangWill are two
names that have been very prominent among
the leaders of thought identified with this move
ment.

about 10000 copies printed and ready
for distribution as soon as the impOr-
tant document has been read in con-
gress. This is probably the most i'm
portant message the president has ever
sent to congress and is the longest 1t
contains from 10000 to $4,000 words,
which is an unusually lengthy COM
municatiOn for an executive to send to
congress.
AS the country knows pretty gener-
ally, Mr.. Roosevelt makes railway leg
islation the chief feature Of his mes
sage. When congress adjourned last
winter without doing anything on this
subject the president announced that
he would take every opportunity to
keep it alive and he has done SO. In
his own speeches he has told very
clearly what he will ask congress to
do and Secretary Of War Taft and Sen
ator Knox of Pennsylvania, former at
torney general, have aided in promul-
eating the administration policy. The
president proposes that congress au-
thorize the interstate commerce COM
mission or some other governmental
body to declare when railroad rate
is unreasonable and then to fix a rate
which is reasonable. The railroads are
to be given recourse to the federal
courts if they are not satisfied.
The president will treat of a great
number Of subjects in his message in
addition to railroad matters, prominent
among them being federal control OF
insurance companies, the Santo Domin-
gan treaty, the Panama canal, preserv.
ing the Niagara falls, our relations
with foreign governments, but it is
said he will not have any observations
to make on the tariff.

Treganza Friday at the club. The
speaker took UP the three lines of ex-
