NEW YORK, August 31.-Jews every
where are now anxiously awaiting further
reports of the proceedings Of the eighth
Zionist congress- which was held at The
Hague between the 14th and the 22d OF

riving in letters and dispatches to Jewish
newspapers and Zionist organizations In
various cities of the country.
Jewish journals have within the last few
days all been remarking on the scantiness
of the news brought here of the Zionist
congress by the Associated Press and other
news.
The key to the principal work that has
been accomplished at the congress is given

whose opposition to certain forces in the
movement threatened a partisan collision

sues, has not been able to overcome a per-
sonal dislike which even his followers bear
toward him. AT the Russian vorconferenz
Ussischkns address met by stern
silence. which was followed by sharp at
tacks on his policy.

Independent oil concerns have filed
complaint with the secretary of state
against the Standard Oil company
under the Hinton anti-discrimination
law. They charge, among other
things, that the Standard company
sold oil in Minneapolis and St. Paul
at seven and a half cents gallon and
that such oil could not be retailed at
this price and afford said company a
profit thereon. Furthermore, the in
dependents assert that the intent and
purpose of the Standard company in
selling oil at SO low figure is to
drive them out of business, monop-
Ollie the enterprise and then manipu-
slate prices to. suit itself: While the in.
dependents are doubtless right in their
charges, the people of the twin cities
may consider themselves mighty lucky
in obtaining oil for seven and half
cents a gallon, even if such prices are
but temporary. 49, .-.z~

In an editorial on "Distrust of
Banks" the Duluth Herald says in
part: - @s|'.'.; l.,
The foolish people that distrust
banks because here and there, once in
a while, a cashier empties one or the
bankruptcy courts get another, are
always with US, and the news is full of
stories of their folly.
AS a matter of fact. considering the
vast number of banking institutions
in this country, the scarcity of bank
examiners and the laxity of the bank
ing laws of many states, the wonder
is that the banks of the nation are so
safe and sane and sound.
Banks may fail occasionally, and
cashiers or bank presidents may
sometimes go wrong, but their number
is an infnitesimal proportion of those
that stay right and carefully husband
the money of their depositors.
This covers the situation in a. nut
shell and gives the facts.
