The Jewish outlook., 1906-04-06
Nissim Bahar's


The Jews, especially the American
Jews, have long felt the need for real
representative body.
When our eminent cO-rellglOnlsts,
Schiff, Seligman, Straus and others re-
Gently saw fit to interview M. Witte in
behalf of Russian Jewry, a protesting
voice Immediately came from our midst,
denouncing it as pretentious for any
self f-appointed committee to act as a
representative of American Jewry.
The Jewish press, although grateful
to the named philanthropists, has often
pointed to the necessity for a central
body elected by the American Jewry,
which alone could serve as the unim-
peachable spokesman for American
Israel
The Jewish Self-Defence Association,
wishing to organize Jewish Congress,
invited our organizations to send dele
gates to conference which was held
in New York on January 1st While
our prominent men did not take part in
this call, they nevertheless organized a
conference of notable Jews from many
states.
They met on February Sd and 4th,
with the same results as that of the pre-
vious conference, namely they appointed
a committee and decided to meet again.
This conference also. as was to be ex-
pected, failed to satisfy our people, be-
cause it lacked popular representation.
A real popular representation has
been lately effected in the Jewish com
munities of Boston and the state of Mas
sachusetts.
All Jewish organizations, such as
lodges, synagogues, temples, clubs and
societies, both of men and women, ortho-
dox, reformed and radicals Americans
as well as newly arrived immigrants,
were welded into one large Federation of
Jewish Organizations of Massachusetts,
This fully representative, democratic or
ganization is recognized alike by Jews
and Gentiles as the authorized spokes-
man for the Jews Of the state
When each state in the Union shall
have a similar federation, the presidents
of which shall in truth represent Amer
lean Jewry, then the Jews in this colln-
try can become great force for their
own benefit and the benefit Of their per-
secuted brethren abroad.
Our brethren are massacred in Russia,
starved in Roumania, oppressed in other
benighted countries; Russia discrm-
mates against Jewish American citizens,
Turkey likewise; even in this blessed
country, in the land of the free, the Jew
is often made to suffer insults and worse
Let us therefore come together; let us

not many communities which can claim
very high degree Of civilization. And
if communities be broken up into indi-
viduals and these individuals are ques-
toned about their opinions Of the Jew,
the fewest will confess that they cherish
toward him cordial goodwill.
There are Jews who tell us that these
,lnvarnished truths should be screened,
who, with oily servility and mock hui
mility, affect to believe that the plain
statement Of facts will whet the ill-will
Of the Amalekites They forget that
never yet has injustice been overthrown
by giving it shelter. They do not know
that the only way to remedy a crying
wrong is to expose it in all of it's naked
hideousness
The constant charge is repeated in
learned books and re-echoed on the high
ways and in the by-ways that the Jew is
sordid and clannish, and that he de-
mands endorsement Of his belief before
he welcomes the fellow man as his equal.
We can not hope to alter such accusa-
tions by silently submitting to them.
They must be refuted manfully and
openly. Our detractors must be made to
see that they are in the thrall Of the old
tribal instincts and impulses Of distrust
and suspicion in spite of their profess
sions Of brotherly love. 1t is they who
unconsciously, perhaps, build up the bar
rier which is fatal to all frank and
friendly intercourse
No wonder that age-long sorrow has
discouraged many of Israel's valiant
leaders and faithful followers; no won
der that they advise return to Zion as
the only hope Of salvation; that they
hold that Israels spirit has been bent,
if not broken, by the incessant plying Of
the taskmaster's lash. Israel is sur
rounded by Egyptian darkness The
Zionists would therefore surrender in
the struggle with hatred and stake Is
rael's future upon the establishment of
petty nationality in Palestine, the prey
Of every grasping European power
Others, and they are the saving rem
nant, have not lost heart or hope. They
are convinced that Israel's God is the
God Of freedom who demands untram-
meled liberty for all Of His children,

Der men OF the Northern Neck are busily
at work clearing up the few remaining
forests. Great difficulty is being experi-

For the past ten years the large forests
lying between tho Potomac and Kappa
hammock rivers have furnished emulov-
ment to a. large army OF laboring man
and an investment to thousands of dollars
OF capital.
Inc indications are, however, there will
soon be great change In business. due
to the fact that these forests have already
been CLEANED of nearly all of their mar
ketable timber. There are only a few
large forests in this section which have
been left untouched.

who have been dealing in railroad ties,

years, Will have to devote their time and
energies to other Enterprises. For two or
three years past the timber men have

PROTEST FROM INVESTORS.
President Westinghouse Accused by
Stockholders.


At sensational meeting of the stock
holders of the Westinghouse Electric and
Manufacturing Company in Pittsburg yes
terday George Westinghouse, president of
the company. was bitterly assaiied and was
charged openly by stockholders with
launching private ventures with the COM
pany's funds The directors were charged
with aiding him in this but after bitter
squabble the slated board of directors was
elected and the Official coterie won out.
James Carrothers, one of the minority
stockholders, led the opponents Of Mr..
Westinghouse. The incident grew out of
the report of the company. Mr.. Caro-
theirs called attention to the list of assets
In which was stocks and bonds Of the
Lackawanna and Wyoming Valley Rapid
Transit Company-S6 800, co.," Mr.. Caro-
theirs wanted to know how much was stock
and how much bonds.
There was hot discussion. and 1t de-
veloped that the capital stock of the Lack
awanna and Wyoming Valley Rapid Tran
sit Company is 100000 and that the road
cost about $6000.00o. No one was sure
that these figures were correct, and there
was more or less confusion
Finally Mr.. Carrothers said: I'VE have
1900. 900 worth OF bonds and $300,0 worth
of stock Who has the remainder OF the
stock? This company puts all money up
that is spent on the road and gets only
$500 600 worth OF stock. Why shouldn't
this company have all the stock II 1t pays
for the road r.
No one present Was able TO explain the
report In detail The adoption Of the re-
port was moved, but John Gregg. one Of
the directors. said:
Before we close want to know from
whom the stock Of this rapid transit coma
panY was purchased. understand that
