II is pointed out as true that al.
though the leaders of the movement
have been laboring assiduously for
many years to rehablitate the He
brews again into a nation and there
have been a number of congresses to
this end until now nothing really def.
mite has been accomplished.
II is said that, in view of the devel.
opments through the present congress,
those who have hitherto cast doubt
upon the scheme will rally to the
standard of the leaders, creating n
solidarity so powerful in numbers and
wealth that success will be assured.

desire of the Zionist leaders to bring
their project to the attention of the
international peace congress now in

garded as extremely improbable that
the peace congress would give the
matter any official attention.

Those who might have been inclin
ed TO give John d. Rockefeller credit
for some sincerity in bis professions
and actions of late years will be
rudely disillusioned by his latest ut
terances defending the methods OF
business of the Standard Oil Com
pany. His assertions that the great
trust was built up by the use Of en-
tirely honest methods are fatty con-
tradicted by the most voluminous evi.
dence adduced in court. He cannot
be ignorant of this testimony or of
the facts to which It relates, and
his utterances, therefore, must nee
essarily be accepted as most hypo-
critical In their character. As such
the public will regard them and will
give the slight consideration which
they deserve.

Another effort to scare the people
by trying to produce a panic in Wall
Street is evidently being made by
some Of the corporation magnates
who object to the enforcement of the
laws in their cases. A similar at
tempt was made last winter in order
to influence legislation. The present
object is to induce the Government
and State officials to alter their ex-
pressed determination Of enforcing
the laws. The people generally, how
ever, refuse to see any reason for
real business panic and the efforts
Of the conspirators are likely to fall
now, as they did some months ago.

WHAT PUNISHMENT is BEST.

The action Of United States Judge
lands in imposing a fine OF approx.
mately s29,OO0,0O0 on the Standard

caused much discussion, chiefly as to
the fitness OF the punishment. Many
Speakers and writers have given ex.
preston TO the belief that the cor
poration would ultimately collect the
bulk Of the enormous sum from the
people II II was finally compelled TO
pay IL into the treasury Of the United
States. Others have stated that the

holders OF the company indiscrimin.
ately, was doing an injustice to the
great majority and advocated the plan
OF seeking out the officials who had
been guilty Of the violation Of law
and Furnishing them alone.
To these and many other ideas OF
proper manner for the government to
act in this and other cases which are
expected 70 come to trial in the near
future is now added the opinion of Car
dinal Gibbons as 20 what would consti.
tute the most severe punishment. In
a recent sermon he stated that term

HAT RAISING IN GERMANY.
Differences OF National Etiquette
Which Prove Pitfalls,

The etiquette of hat-raising in Ger.
many is one OF those things which
may bertay the foreigner into uhsn-
territorial rrdeness through sheer ig-
norance. A correspondent knows OF a
German lady who was puzzled and
hurt because some Englishmen whom
she had met before did not raise their
hats to her in the street until the
explanation came that she expected
them TO do II OF their own accord by
the German rule instead Of waiting for
her TO recognize them first by the
English. These differences of national
etiquette are great pitfalls. A con-
verse case was that Of an English
man staying In German town who
accompanied his hosts wife to con-
cert. Walking home, he gave her the
inside OF the pavement, according to
English manners; but the host, who
happened 10 see this, was rendered
painfully suspicious by this unfamiliar
attention.
