I beg to- tender my sincere thanks, and although I have found it necessary in some instances to anno- tate their letters and remove false inn pressions I recognize with pleasure fhe magnanimity of their outlook. It Is characteristic of the British writers that they do not regard the proposi- tion of a British Judea from any point of view but that of the salvation Of the unhappy race. whose tragedy has just touched such heights of horror in Russia. With the exception of Sir Gilbert Parker. who is a professional politician none locks aside to the gain which would undoubtedly result to England if one of her comparatively virgin territories became the seat or a powerful and grateful colony. Even Sir Gilbert Parker passes immediately to an altruistic cosmic standpoint. Possibly the lion is too big to realize the possibilities of heln latent in the mouse, and yet Cromwell, in re-opening England and her colonies to the Jews had imperial expansion and trade as cendancy very lucidly in his eye.

Dear Mir. Zangwill .--I cannot claim to have studied the subject regarding which you invite my opinion. But I
 have always warmly sympathized with the aim of the Zionist movement. It
 would not only provide home for the opressed Jews of Eastern Europe, but might also rescue from Turkish mis-
 rule a land once Hourishing and in which both Jews and Christians every where must always be deeply interest cd
 If. however, the Zionist scheme be for the moment impracticable your next best course seems to be to obtain some virtually unoccupied or thinly occupied territory in which to plant the East European refugees. setting up there an autonomous Jewish com munity under the protection and supervision of strong power Few such territories are now left, either in the Old or the New World, and prob- ably the most promising is to be found in the highlands of British East Africa. Parts of that region possess a climate temperate enough to permit the Jewish race. which has shown it. self capable of adaptation to very diff ferent climates, to do agricultural and pastoral work. You seem to be right in thinking that this is the best way of averting the difficulties to which d largely increased Jewish immigration into America or Britain might give rise. The matter has become more ur- gent in these last weeks owing to the frightful massacres in Russia.
 Heartily wishing success to your ef- forts, I am, yours very truly, James Bryce

I sent the following letter to number of other English writers:
 Jewish Territorial Organization.

 November, 1905.
 Dear number of British men of letters have kindly consented to give me their opinion for publication on the scheme outlined in the enclosed pamphlet. I trust you will also favor me with brief expression of your views. The scheme in a nutshell is to build up an autonomous Jewish State out of the refugees from perse- cution--a State which will likewise at- tract a number of prosperous and idealistic Jews. In our quest for a territory we wish, if possible. to take advantage of England's offer of vir- gin soil under British suzerainty.

Dear MT. Zangwiil-I am afraid my studies In sociology have been too de-
 sultory to justify me in expressing any very definite opinion upon your scheme for Jewish territorial organization In common with all Englishmen l deeply deplore the persecution to which Jews are subjected in certain countries. and I can understand that such d scheme as you suggest may provide valuable method of meeting the emergency. But (speaking as one who knows very lit tie about the matter) 1t seems to me. at first glance to be false economy to encourage British Jews to emigrate. They are under no social or political disabilities in these islands, and cer- tainly they are among the most intel ligent, hard working, thrifty and char itable of our population. No doubt those who know more about the mat ter may be able to knock the bottom out of my argument but as you have paid me the unmerited compliment of asking for my opinion I venture to give

John DavidsOn's Criticism.


 My Dear Zangwill-Three things in the first of the Ito pamphlets fix them selves in my mind.
 l. The religious import of a Jewish colony In your reply to MT. Lucien Wolf you say, Tt Is obvious that in a Jewish colony religious Jews would find far better environment for their re- ligion than anywhere else If that were certain I would be against Jew ish colony. I wish the Bible to be laid upon the shelf for hundred years at least, and to be taNen down again only when all men can regard it as what it is. the remarkable literature of d re- markable people. But I question very much if the Jewish religion would thrive in a Jewish colony. I believe the Jew clings to the worship of Jehovah mainly because of his aiienage. Were the Jew permanently established in a country of his own, free from the relig- ious intolerance of his general present enVirCnment which concentrates his

factor of his psychology must be all lowed for in all colonization schemes. But the idealistic factor which makes even Johannesburg one of the centers of the Ito must also not be omitted. and to suggest the behavior of jour nalists and financiers as the test of the genuineness of a racial impulse is sure ly rather unscientiflc.

you wish for about your colonization scheme. I sympathize with you sincerely and your difficulties with the rich men of your peo- pie, who find London the best Jerusa- lem. but do not particularly desire that their poorer Russian brethren should share it. It is very fine of you to give all this time and work to so good a cause, and if you do not get material advantage. you get something much better. With affectionate greetings. yours very truly, Hall Cane.

Stafford Republicans Pass Resolutions
AGAINST J0inture.

The Fowler Club, of Stafford, held a
meeting in Judge Fonda's Office
Monday evening, July 2. President
John w. Casteel presided. Lee
Stratton was chosen secretary pro
TEN.
The meeting discussed the issues OF
the day and passed resolutions en-
dorsing the course pursued by Presi-
dent Roosevelt, save in one particu-
lar, that of joint statehood; approved
the work of the Fifty-ninth Con-
gress, and commends Governor Kib-
hey for his loyalty to Arizona's in
terests.
The matter of joint statehood is
the main issue in Arizona and the
club came out in no uncertain Ian
guage as to where it stands on the
question.
Following are the resolutions as
passed by the club:
BE it resolved by this club, duly
assembled, representing the republi-
cans of Stafford:
First, That we take this organized
method of expressing our approval
and hearty endorsement of the wise,
economical and patriotic administra-
ton of President Theodore Roosevelt,
save and except his attitude on the
statehood matter, which we hold
purely local.
Second, That we look with pride
upon the results and achievements as
a whole of the seth congress, just ad-
journed.
Third, That we express our un-
ernor Joseph H. Kibbey as true
citizen of Arizona and an official
above party.
Fourth, That we as republicans,
are unalterably opposed to the en-
aiding act passed by congress, allow
ing Arizona and New Mexico to come
into the Union as one State. We
hold that it is unjust and unfair to
the people of Arizona: and that we
will use our best endeavors to defeat
the measure at the November cleo
ton.
Fifth, That we heartily favor a
non-partisan ticket for delegates to
the constitutional convention. being
made up of democrats and republi-
cans of pronounced views against
jointure.
Sixth, That we strongly resent any
outside interference, and in con-
clusion, we hold that all Arizonians
have a common interest and ask that
all republicans keep our territory's
interest above party and help to
defeat the Joint statehood measure. u

ing. He was one of the double
handed contestants drilling with Nc
Kenzie. He fell short of his pre-
decessor and can win no money. The
third driller in the single-handed
contest was Dick Connolly, who for a
long time held the championship for
single handed drilling in Colorado.
He was urged by many friends dur
ing his work and when the results of
his efforts were measured up it was
found that he had drilled 20 3-16, de-
feating both men who had proceeded
him.
Following is the time made in
the single-handed contest:

man to drill.

Douglas Drilling Contest.

The first team to mount the block
was Sell Tarr and McKinsey. Sell
Tarr holds the championship for
straightaway work, but is considered
little light for double hand con-
tests. His endurance is unparalleled,
being a gentleman of model habits.
His partner is somewhat older, and
the team made a light record. This
team made AZ 81 inches.
Carl Make and Page came next.
Much was expected of this team, but
they failed to come up to expecta-
tions. Make did not have his old
form such as he had when he and
Chamberlain drilled 43b in Gunnison
granite in IA minutes in Ell Paso.
Page and Make scored 434 inches.
Then came Bradshaw and Pickens
who proved to be a species of sur
prise, drilled "A and I5-16ths. They
did elegant work and the crowd was
disposed to bet odds on them when
they finished.
Ross and McIver came last and
tied the record made by Bradshaw
and Pickens. No finer, more har-
monious, even and honest drilling
contest was ever conducted.
This was followed by boys con-
test which shows remarkable results.
We are disposed to discourage con-
tests among children, since the
practice and training necessary to
success is inimicle to the develop
ment of a growing child, but we are
compelled to admire the work. of
these little gentlemen on the big
rock.
