When London Jews
Own the Streets

London is wonderful city and has
many wonderful sights Few people,
however, know that there are hours of
certain days when London streets are
given over to the Jews. If anyone wishes
to see one Of the strangest sights Of Lon
don, let him stand in the neighborhood
of the London Hospital Sunday between
four and five in the morning. The great
city is asleep, undisturbed even by the
rumble Of the market carts coming in
from Essex. There comes moment
when the great thoroughfare Of White
chapel seems alive with men and women.
Streams Of people throng the streets,
crossing each other on the great White
chapel Road, disappearing into the side
ways on their way to the various small
synagogues Some are going to prayers,
some are returning home, for there are
places where the service commences with
the dawn. Many carry bundles contain
ing their Talith and prayer books, little
boys trudge at the side Of their fathers
half awake, but with a pride upon their
face born of the Importance Of having
risen early. Women are there, too, with
faces transfgured by real spirituality
carrying immense books which are so
large, because books are scarce and many
of them have to look over each other. If
we were to open these books we should
find that most Of them were printed
upon blue paper so that the eye shall not
be too much strained in the dimness Of
the poorly-ighted synagogue. If we
were to look more closely, we might dis
cover tear-stains on the pages. The
shambling steps ring out on the other
wise deserted pavements with the sound
Of grand procession to the discerning
ear In few hours time these men and
women become very ordinary again;
they are poor sweated tailors, cap-mak-
ers or boot-makers, or they are women
chaffering parsimoniously in the Sunday
markets, or they are little alien school
urchins. By the time London has awak-
ened they have lost all their picturesque
ness, but for the moment they are a
spiritual throng, uplifted by uncon-
scious elevation, and the Jewish on
locker feels pround to call them his own.

eign and domestic commerce. During
the Revolutionary period they aided the
cause of liberty by serving in the Cont
mental army and by substantial contri-
buttons to the empty treasury of the Re-
public During the Civil War, thou
sands served in the armies and mingled
their blood with the soil for which they
fought. While the Jews Of the United
States have remained loyal to their faith
and their race traditions, they have be-
come indissolubly incorporated in the
great army Of American citizenship, pre-
pared to make all sacrifice for the coun-
try, either in war Or peace, and striving
and for the maintenance Of the princi-
pies embodied in our Constitution. .
This is true not only Of the descendants
of the early settlers and those Of Amer
lean birth, but Of great and constantly
increasing proportion Of those who have
come to our shores within the last twen-
ty-fve years as refugees reduced to the
direst straits Of penury and misery. All
Americans may well be proud Of the ex-
traordinary illustration Of the wisdom
and strength Of our governmental sys-
tenn thus afforded -
Indeed in "our governmental system"
lies the cause Of the marvellous progress
of American Israel. Liberty, freedom
of conscience and unbounded oppcrtun-
ity that the Jew has been enjoying here
to an extent in which these blessings
were never vouchsafed to him in any
other spot on the face Of the earth Or in
any other period Of his history-these
are the secret of his strength and growth.
His achievements here emphasize the
truth Of the statement: eff you perse
cute you make slaves only by declaring
equal rights for all will you make good
citizens.'' What the Jew has accom-
plished in America may we'll serve as
rebuke to the nations where this martyr
people are still suffering from prejudice,
fanaticism and intolerance. America
may well say to the tyrannical govern
ments and anti-Semitic peoples Of the
Old World: "Away with your anach-
ronisms and ancient follies! Away with
the malicious accusations and defama-
tions which you heap upon the Jew
Behold what freedom has made of him!
For centuries you treated him as an out
cast and pariah; see how under the
banner of liberty he has become a sover-
eign citizen. Your prosecutions reduced
him to physical dwarf unfit for mar
tial valor; American freedom has again
made him worthy of his heroic ancestors.
The Jewish outlook., 1907-09-20

You call him Shylock, usurer,
miser; look at the American Jewish phil
anthropies! Follow the American ex-
ample, give the Jew liberty and he will
prove worthy Of it. .''-Government.

Senator Clark Says Stringency VIII
End When Money Is Released.

Los Angeles. Nov. 26.-Former
United States Senator w. A. Clark of
Montana who recently visited the
copper producing sections of Arizona,
was in Los Angeles today. When
asked for his opinion concerning fin
ancial conditions he said:
Financial conditions will show i'm
provement just as soon as people
cease suspecting one another, and in
that way restore confidence.
1.-THE situation in regard to copper
is about the same as it was a month
ago. Nearly all the wildcat concerns
have been put out of business and
there has been heavy curtailment in
the established mines.
1--WE have curtailed production SO
per cent at Jerome and 60 per cent
in Montana. 1t Is improbable to sell
copper at 13 cents when it costs IL
or 1211 cents to produce it.
Copper was about the first thing
to be hit by the financial stringency
as some had been over ambitious in
boosting the price with the result that
production was greariy stimulated
This condition is likely to last until
the people release their money for
circulation"

Governor Deneen's Message on Water
Power to Be Developed.

Springfield. ILL.,, Nov. Ex-Governor
Deneen today sent to the legislature a
message relating to the conservation
of water power as incident to con-
struction at public expense of the pro-
posed deep waterway from the great
lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, involving
an expenditure of $2O.000,o0O.
The message said that in order to
secure approval byssthe people of a
constitutional amendment authorizing
such expenditure 1t is essential that
the water power, developed by the ex-
penditure of $2O,0O0,O0O, should be
owned and controlled by the state so
that the state may be recouped for
its expenditure and a fund created for
further development and extension of
the international waterway system.
and that the development should not
be unnecessarily complicated by ques-
tions of private ownership.
