The Jew as an American Citizen
BY FRANK w. HIGGINS. Governor of New York

BY FRANK W. HIGGINS. Governor OF New York
- UR Jewish fellow citizens have a right to boast that under the
protecting shield of equal rights they have taken no steps
backward in the long and weary years that have rolled by
since they first obtained from the Dutch West India com
pany permission to sail and to trade in New Netherlands and to live
and remain there"
1t is not to be wondered at that the Jews, with their marvellous
history of intellectual achievement, WITH THEIR NATURAL
MORAL STRENGTH, with their p~hlanthropc and charitable i'm
pulses, have fourshed and waxed great in those $50 years of abundant
opportunity.
In these days of greed and the lust of gain, when man too often.
struggles to heap up riches with little heed to the restraints of moral
or civil law, when success seems to justify the means, when respect for
the rights of others and regard for the feelings of others give place
to a sordid selfshness, we must not forget that a nation can be great
and noble ONLY AS ITS PEOPLE ARE A GREAT N
NOBLE PEOPLE and that the character Of a nation is determined
by the characters of those it honors.
The Jew has cheerfuIy accepted the moral obligation imposed on
all who seek the benefit of American citizenship.
NOT ONLY IN FINANCIAL CIRCLES, BUT ALSO IN MiLITAFM
AND CIVIL LIFE, IN SCIENCE, ART, LITERATURE AND THE LEARs1
ED PROFESSIONS. HE HAS SERVED HIS ADOPTED COUNTRY WITT
FIDELITY AND ZEAL. !

Obtaining
Electricity Direct
From Coal
By THOMAS A. EDISON

YN E~nglshman told me a little while ago that he intended to
set up a power station on the Thames, bring down coal by
barges and sell electric power to London. | said to him;
= ~A GLOW foolish! Why not run a copper wire between Lon
don and the coal mines and develop your power WHERE
THE COAL is? If you build that power station it will be obsolete
inside of fifteen years"
We must eliminate the railroad altogether from this problem.
What's the use of it? WE DON'T WANT THE COAL ANY
HOW. 1t does us no good to look at it. What we want is the re-
sultant, the utmost energy that can be produced. And there is no
sense in carrying around millions of tons of raw material like coal
when we can get its product delivered to us by wire.
Everything points to the fact that in the near future electricity
will be produced for general consumption in great power houses AT
THE MOUTHS OF THE COAL PITS. That is the logical and
commons sense outcome of present events.
The present method of doing things is merely a matter of habit.
It's simply wonderful to observe how habit controls man and how it
sometimes delays great reformations even in practical affairs. This
system of carrying coal from the mines for the purpose of producing
electricity somewhere else is habit. Habit is the greatest foe to prog
rss and invention.
The great majority of men are controlled by habit. They have
always seen a thing done one way, and that way seems to them the
only way. But there are SOME OF US who have a little of the
spirit of evolution, and we bother and trouble the others by not letting
them alone.
Now the truth is that it will cost a third less to transport electrical
power by wire than to carry it in the form of coal in railroad cars.
Assume the price of coal to be ST. at the mouth of the mine, and as
sumo the ~freightsto be $19O.
Now we can turn that coal into electricity at the mine and convey
it by wire at less than half the cost of the ~freightage of coal.
So in years to come the great electric power plants will be set up in
the coal fields. Electric power will largely do away with steam power.
Electric light will become CHEAPER than gasight.
1 believe firmly that all great trunk railroad lines will go to cleo
tncity inside of fifteen years. I don't mean simply passenger traffic,
but heavy freight traffic also.
WITHIN TWENTY YEARS STEAM WILL BE AS OUT OF FASH
ION FOR RAILWAYS AS HORSES ARE FOR STREET CARS TODAY

PLAIN FIELD
HAS WONDER.
One Of Greatest Natural Phen.
Omena in the World Rests
on Thin Crust of Earth.

Prof. Arthur Poole Raymond, a.
English civil engineer, who recent
visited Plainield, N. j., to make in
curry concerning the mysterious wa
ter supply of that city, has suggested
to the Engineers Association, 0
which he is a member, that a remark
able discovery might be made if tn
Plainfield authorities could be il
duced to sink a shaft or to make al
excavation wide enough to afford a.
opportunity for observing the tida
flow in the subterranean lake or rive
tnat furnishes a daily supply of from
1000, 600 to 100000 gallons an
is apparently in%exhaustible.
He says the water is the cleares'
and purest in this part of the coun
try. Analysis shows it to be absolute
ly without contamination of an,
kind. The temperature is the sam
winter and summer-about 9 de
grees above freezing.
The waterworks are situated owe
what is believed to be the thinnes
part of the crust which covers the
subterranean lake. 1t is not NOR,
than 80 feet thick and is compose;
of a stratum of clay and loan, B
feet; gravel, 20 feet; sand, 20 feet
and shale rock, which forms the o
of the cavern, 20 feet.
AN attempt has been made to as
certain the depth of the lake, but ]
is known to have a tidal flow, becaus
a chip dropped into the place will b.
pumped out at another, but Away
to the southeast.
Prof. Raymond says the inhabi
tants of Plainfield apparently do no
realize that they have under thei
feet one of the most marvellous nat
ural phenomena in the world.

The American Solution of
The immigration Problem
By ANDREW CARNEGIE

80 UR country has more than one serious problem, but immlgra-
4 ton is not among them. We have solved the question in the
present by the somewhat too drastic law that we have enacted.
1t is not a problem FOR US. 1t is the problem for the
poor, unfortunate countries from which we are draining the best blood.
Now, l hold that the prime test and the only test we should exact
is this: Has a man the ambition to enjoy the rights of an American
citizen and has he the habits of sobriety AND FRUGALITY to
save the sum necessary for him to reach this port? And is he skilful
enough to earn that surplus?
l want no better testimony than that. If | owned America and
was running it as a business operation, | would not only look for that
man, but l would give every man of that kind A PREMIUM TO
COME HERE and consider it the best bargain l had ever made in
my life.
Taking the value of a man, woman or child in this republic as low
as a slave, and that was an average Of about S., 900 fifty years ago, and
we are getting 400, 900 a year. That means $780, 000, 900 cash value.
Furthermore, every man who, comes here is A CONSUMER, and
80 per cent of all the earnings of even the most saving goes to employ
other labor of some kind.
1T is NOT PURITY OF BLOOD WE WANT, IT is THE MINcLINc
OF DIFFERENT BLooDs THAT MAKES THE AMERICAN.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Elizabeth Journal:

Elizabeth journal:
Nearly every newspaper in the
state has made a comment of salts
faction that the Prudential Insurance
Company stood creditably the search
light of investigation as to its bust
ness methods. The New Brunswick
Home News, put it tersely in its com
ment on the testimony of United
States Senator Dryden in saying the
fact that Mr.. Dryden came out of the
investigation with cleaner hands than
any insurance president who proceed
ed him is tremendously creditable to
the Prudential and the State of New
Jersey, and in 4 summary of the pro-
ceedings, the Newark Evening News
said. ut was agreed by everyone
who heard Mr.. Dryden and Mr.. Gore
on the stand that they We're excellent
witnesses. Nothing seemed to aston
ish the listeners more than Mr.. Dry
den's' knowledge'of the details of his
business. This was seemingly full
and complete, and, it was pointed out
that was in striking contrast to con-
LESSONS of ignorance that other in
slrance presidents made in regard to
routine matters in their companies"
in these observations the newspa-
pers have but voiced the satisfaction
of the people in New Jersey. who are
glad because the conditions as they
We're presented by the Prudential
Company in this notable investiga-
ton, brings honor to the state as well
as the company.
Camden Courier:
Congress should get busy with that
proposition of DR.. Wiley to regulate
the sale of cold storage meats and
provisions, which are injurious to the
health of the people. Especially, If
possible, should IA stop be put to the
sale of storage eggs, which become an
abomination as soon as released and
placed on sale by retailers. The on
sumer of eggs never gets the worth
of his money in his purchase ever at
the price charged, which is usually
eXtortionate, and forms the basis for
high prices for the strictly fresh laid
eggs. Something ought to be done
to prevent such s%peculations in foods
of prime necessity rs are possible
from the cold storage system, which,
whatever it's merits as a preservatiye
for short periods, is not esteemed
when it is known that food products
have been kept for as high as three
or four years before being marketed.
There would~ be less poisoning of
health il cold storage foods were
more carefully supervised
