ZIONIST CONGRESS
MEETS At THE HAGUE

The Hague.-The Zionist Congress
has assembled here. Several hundred
delegates were present at the formal
opening, and many more are expected.
The American organization is well
represented.
The meeting is the tenth congress
of its kind. The gatherings have al
ways attracted leading men of the
Hebrew faith, and its somewhat senti-
mental and romantic propaganda
the restoration of Jerusalem to the
sons of Abraham-but really, at bot
tom, 4 stern business and philan-
thropic proposition, has attracted
worldwide speculation as to the ulti-
mate fate of the scheme.
"Zionism," as the movement is call
ed, by which, it's promoters declare,
the Jewish problem is TO be solved
that is, the future of the oppressed
Jew of Russia and elsewhere is to be
provided for-is not without opposi-
ton on the part of some prominent
men OF the Jewish clergy and laity.
It is pointed out as true that al
though the leaders of the movement
have been laboring assiduously for
many years to rehablitate the Hebrew
again into a nation, and there have
been appmber of congresses to this

is AT HIS OWN FUNERAL.
Man Surprised Mourners BY Walking
Into Doleful Assemblage.

Meeteetse, Wyo.-James F. Willis
Wyoming sheep herder, recently at
tended his own funeral. A body posi-
lively identified as that of Willis was
found on the range south of here and
taken to the home of a rancher near.
by II was supposed that the man
had been taken suddenly i'll when
alone on the range and had died a
week or more before the body was
discovered.
Arrangements for the funeral were
made and a number of persons were
assembled at the home of the rancher
when the door opened and Willis
walked in.
He learned by chance, he said, that
body supposed to be his had been
found on the range and taken to the
rancher's home, and that funeral ser
vices we're being conducted there. He
fastened thither to assure his friends
that he was alive and well.

Taussig & Company. Of Chicago and

tobacco grown in this county, and
who own an interest in the tobacco
farm west of the city, are remodeling
the wainwright building on Avenue A
for the purpose of making 1t an up-to-
date packing house. and will again
this year pack the East Texas crop
bought by them in this city. This is
a valuable enterprise for the city, as
a good force of people are worked in
the packing house. Last year the
company employed for several months
something near fifty people. The
building is being changed in many re
spects to make the handling of the
crop convenient The crop of this
county has been about all gathered
and put in the barns. and some of it
is almost or quite ready for the pack
er.
The crop is very good this year.

II is SAID that, in view of the de-

gress, those who have hitherto cast
doubt upon the scheme will rally to
the standard of the leaders, creating a
solidarity so powerful in numbers and
wealth that success will be assured.
The congress is to consider a pro-
posal for the acquisition of a tract of
land in Palestine larger than any here

Jewish colonization. The land is not

the money.
1t has been stated that one of the
reasons for selecting The Hague as
the meeting place this year was the
desire Of the Zionist leaders TO bring
their project TO the attention of the
international peace congress now in
session here. So far as can be learn
ed, however, there is nothing to sub
stantiate this assertion, and It is re-
garded as extremely improbable that
the peace congress would give the
matter any official attention.

TIMES ARE CHANGED.

Even a grave situation like the cur
rency shortage of today has it's CLEAN
of humor in it for the man who remem-
bers the currency discussion of 1896 and
the years preceding 1t, when the bimet-
allists urged the need of more money
and clamored for the use of silver as a
substantial foundation for prosperity.
In those days, the wall of Wall street
was for gold, nothing but gold or a
financial system based on gold. The
yellow metal alone had the elements
of stability as currency, and anything
else was fiat, fiat heresy, a dishonest
subterfuge, the scheme of infationists
and wicked owners of western silver
mines. There was no such thing as af-
feeting values by the volume of money
or by government authority. Unless
every dollar in circulation had gold on
it or behind it or somewhere under it,
the whole fabric of government could
not support it as legal tender-and that
was all that could be said about it.
But now!
What we need now, they say, is
more flexible currency; something with
securities behind 1t. Wall street isn't
particular about gold, just so it can
get more money. The great financial
authorities agree that something has
to be done TO furnish more circulation:
the tremendous business development
of the country demands more circulate
ing medium, and demands it immedi-
ately. Is there any talk about getting
more gold? Do the bankers get
alarmed when you talk about increas-
ing the circulation arbitrarily? Is
there any great alarm for fear of infia-
ton or depreciation of the dollar by a
sudden increase in the nations supply
of money?
Not much, not enough to be heard
this far west. The longest-whiskere
Populist that ever lifted up his voice
for more money of any kind, couldn't
have been more enthusiastic for an In
crease in the currency issue than these
same financiers of the east who used
to talk so gravely of population" and

the voter should not hesitate to vote
for the Democratic ticket 1t has made
its fight on straight political lines; it
has no sympathy with any party or
faction which would bar a man from
public employ because of his religion;
it has as little use for the politicians
on either side who stir up strife and
hatred, make appeals to sinister mo-
tives and maintain an agitation which
is harmful to every citizen save those
who use it for political capital and
personal profit.
If the people of Salt Lake desire a
clean, business-like management of
their city; an administration untainted
by graft or by extravaganza; if they
wish TO divorce politics and religion in
civil affairs; if they wish the city's
credit preserved and its expenses kept
within it's income, as the law requires,
they will vote for r. P. Morris and his
associates on the Democratic ticket.

pELATIVE PARTY STRENGTH.

All the Republicans active in their
party management affect to believe
that their ticket is strong enough to be
elected today. A good many of them
aver that DR.. Plummer will be strong
err than Morris At the same time, the
Americans" assume that there is no
chance of their defeat
1t is to be expected that all the party
chairmen win announce with every
outward show of confidence that their
tickets will win, but it is not difficult
TO fix with reasonable certainty the
comparative strength of the three par
ties in this election so far as any re-
suit can be predicted in politics.
Unquestionably. the Americans" will
lose control of the council They have
and he was declared elected on a tech
nicality which gave him a plurality Of
one or two votes in whole precinct.
This year the alignment insures the
election of a non-"American" majority
with a certainty that the Democrats
will have the largest number of coun-
cilmen and possibly a majority of the
whole council.
On the general ticket, the Democrats
do not ignore the strength of the
American ticket nor the advantage
the party has in its control of city en-
ployes, its large campaign fund, the
hoclipg if oats from, tho rod 1ioht dis
trict through the influence of the po-
lice department. In spite of these fac
tors, however, the Democrats know
they have more than fighting chance
to win because of the strength of their
ticket, and because the public is dis
gusted with the american" party's
record in Office, it's increase in the tax
rate for two successive years, it's ire
mendous treasury deficit and the scan
Gals which have attached to its adj
ministration of the police and other de-
partments.
AS for the Republicans no one IA
miliar with the situation expects them
to get better than a bad third place.
MOSt OF Ine lnHuenlldl RepuDucdnS
have deserted to the American" par
ty; its general ticket is weak, its con-
duct of the campaign has been ineffi-
eient and the closing days of the cam
paign showed its decentralization be-
yOnd hope.
Only one contingency can give the
Americans" a certainty of success;
that is the possibility that the Repub-
licans may delude enough voters with
their cry of Beat Bransford with
Plummer," just as they insured Thomp-
sons election at the last moment by
the cry of Beat Thompson with
Lynch" If the independent voters
have forgotten how the bunco game
worked two years ago. they may sue
coed in making Bransford mayor; If
they vote for Morris, as they should If
they hope to defeat the Americans"
the Democrats will furnish the city
with it's officials for two years to come.

"50-cent silver dollars" and the "evils
of a deprecated currency"
1t has been a long time coming, but
the wiseacres who yearEed for a single
gold standard and currency limited
by the production of gold, have learned
thing or two about financial laws.
They know now what the bimetailists
have long argued, that the volume OF
money in this country has not kept pace
with the commercial development and
requirements. and that scarcity OF
money is not an airy theory, but a
very pressing problem. They may not
admit the desirability of bimetallism
but they, are forever barred from polk
ing fun at the west for its old-time
financial views.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-11-05
MORRIS WILL BE ELECTED.

Discussion of general campaign is
sues so late as election morning is a
superfiuous waste of ink and energy;
about all that remains TO be done is to
summarize the issue and set forth the
reasons The Herald has for believing
the Democratic ticket ought 10 be
elected, and why it stands an excellent
chance of winning.
To this paper the main question for
the voter is the choice of competent
business management for the city dur
ing the next two years. National poll
ties. the religious belief OF a man and
all the other issues that have been
raised up for the occasion should cut
little figure in what is largely a bust
ness mana cement for the city during
the next two years. National politics,
the religious belief of a man and all
the other issues that have been raised
up for the occasion should cut little
figure In what is largely a business
matter. The city is in bad shape fnan-
cially and a continuation of its present
worse An overdraft of s4OO, 900 in the
general funds at this time of year is
sufficient cause for anxiety as to the
future. BY the end of the year all the
taxes now being collected will have
been spent-a condition never known
I'm Salt Lake before. Nor does this
overdraft include all the city's indebt-
edness- Moran has not been paid for
all his work; something like 500, 900
has been spent In the water and sewer
fund over and above the s1,OO0,O0O Sc
cured by a bond issue for that pur-
pose In the absence of a definite,
honest statement from the admins
tration, no one knows exactly how bad
conditions are. but enough is known
TO warrant a demand for economy and
careful financing.
The Democratic ticket is particularly
strong, because its nominees are men
of exactly the training to handle mu-
nicipal problems satisfactorily. Mr..
Morris, as every voter knows, has
served as treasurer and mayor of the
city. His record proved his capacity
as an administrator, and his business
standing demonstrates the confidence
reposed in him by the community. If
any one man in Salt Lake is peculiarly
we'll fitted TO be mayor in a critical
period, Mr.. Morris is that man. OPP
posed to him are Mr.. Bransford and
DIR. Plummer, both men of high per-
sonal standing, but neither of them as
well qualified for the position as the
Democratic candidate. Mr.. Bransford
has been in Office a brief time, and the
one thing to be said in his favor is that
he.is not IN sympathy with his party's
fight against a particular creed and its
prescription of certain church MEM
beers. DR.. Plummer's training gives no
occasion for supposing that he would
be equal to the demands of the office
recurring as it does large business ex-
perience and familiarity with the work
of a great corporation.
The situation has narrowed itself
doyyn to a question as TO whether the
q americans" or Democrats will control
the next city administration. AS be-
tween the two tickets and the ideas in
city government which they represent,
