From the Broadway Magazine.

From the Broadway Magazine. % FEN years ago the word Zionist" lCD was coined to denote those Jews
 who were actively working to restore their race to the Holy Land. It is a new word for q very old move ment Tho great philosopher. spinoza, was Zionist. So was Napoleon Bona parte, to such an extent that he once of fered to protect the Jews of Asia and Af- rica if they would emigrate to Palestine. So was Emma Lazarus, that American Jewess who was one of our most brilliant poets. Rider Haggard and Hall Caine, and Gorky, and Bjornson, and Edward Everett Hale have all written in favor of Zionism
 The first American Zionist, I find, was a noted Jew named Mordecai M Noah, who was a power in New York state in the early days. At the time that the Erie canal was opened, in 1925, he sent out a call to all American Jews to gather to- gether on Grand Island, near Buffalo, and promised that he would provide ships so they could set sail for the land of Jordan When the appointed day arrived, Noah was there with ship-his "ark," as the scoffing newspapers called 1t. But all the other Jews stayed home.
 Today Zionism is powerful movement. It is worldwide. It has more than 2000 societies and 100000 members. It supports 50 publications of its own. And out of the 12,000,OOo Jews in all parts of the world there are fully 1O,OOO.oO0 whose feelings and good wishes are on the side of the Zionists.
 In the United States, where there are 100000 Jews, probably 10 per cent of these are in active sympathy with the zionists, and even those who do not help it regard it as pleasant dream. Among the young Jews, especially, Zionism is growing like & new religion.
 The aim of Zionisn, in sentence, is to get "a legally secured and publicly recog- nized home for the Jews in Palestine" This they are now trying to accomplish in four ways:
 L By starting Jewish colonies in Pales- tine.

CONCERNING woMAN's BEAUTY

TOIu PCl i1o1doi'
 Man in Africa likes his women large
 and round, and fattens them in dark
 ened huts, like Hamburg geese. Man
 in England likes them strong and
 brave. Man in India likes them soft
 and submissive. Man in America likes them almost any way, it would ap- pear.
 But his changeful standards of taste have played hob with beauty. There are few women who even know the right proportions of the human figure. or would care to have them, if they did. Feeble little feet, futile little hands, fragile little bodies he has de- manded and produced. 'Woman's weak ness is her charm," says the arbiter in one of his moods. Women are growing stronger now, but man will find the charm is still there.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
 From the New York Press.

The best way to get a girl to like you is to get her brothers not to.
 No matter how innocent a girl is, she can get to be more so by becoming mar ried and then widow.
 Sometimes q man can perform his duty with fairly decent grace if he can't find anything else to do.
 Half the people in the world are always doing something to take off flesh; and the other half to put it OF.
 A man is willing to have most any kind of disease for an excuse for his family to haze to support him.

Germany is, with it's stirring traditions, would hardly find a republic workable. Germany does need, however. a re- sponsible cabinet and a minimum of imperial sway; something, in short, like the British system. And such Germany seems about to have.

William and Edward,

Tt is pity that Emperor William has not taken lessons in sovereignship from his Uncle Edward of England,' said student and an admirer of the Kaiser. with all his eceentricites and his stren- uosity William Is a man of singularly attractive qualities, just as President Roosevelt is The President and the Ger man Emperor are much alike as we all know. The latter combines many of the elements of greatness but he lacks the boise that modern monarch needs.
 King Edward. instead of being a fig urehead sovereign, is really playing a more important part in English diplomacy than any crowned head since the establishment of strictly constitutional monarchy. He has turned out to be real statesman and as man of tact in handing both home and foreign affairs he has been postmaster. There is perhaps no abler diplomatist in Europe than King Edward. He makes no breaks, but on the other hand Is always doing something to in- crease his popularity.
 ''As Prince of Wales, Edward was not thought to have in him the making of high-class ruler. He has been, therefore. an agreeable surprise. He will go down in history as a great sovereign

Bryan,s Dcfcat.

Commenting on the election OF
William H. Taft as president Of the
United, States. the Baltimore Sun
gives Its own, the Democratic party,
the following wholesome lesson, but
whether 1t will be learned we'll re-
mains to be seen, as some of the
rabid sort are already declaring that
they will run bryan again:
The Democratic party is also to
be congratulated uponits deliyerance
from the leader who has thrice led II
to defeat-from the thraldom OF ex-
IRENE and unsafe political and eco
nomic doctrines. The Democratic
party has had another impressive
and. II the party has ordinary wisdom
and courage, a final object lesson in
the futillty of attempting to re-estab-
lish itself in public confidence under
the leadership of Mr.. Bryan and the
policies with which he is associated.
If Mr.. Bryan's third defeat has the
result of bringing the Democratic
party back to the paths OF true Demo-
cracy, under the leadership of men
loyal to the principles of the historic
Democracy, the election of Mr.. Taft
will accomplish two important and
valuable results: 1t will assure the
nation a safe and efficient admins
tration; 1t will rehabilitate and give
new strength to great political
party"

Taft's Election.


The result of the national election
is one over which the entire country
is rejoicing and over which the peo-
pie deserve congratulations, as the
verdict of the majority of the Amer
lean voters rebuked Organism in no
uncertain way. While the great hosts
of Republicans voted for Mr.. TAFT,
they were joined by thousands OF
Democrats and independent voters,
who are opposed to radicalism such
as Bryan breaches and represets. AS
the result Mr.. Taft has decisive ma
jority in the electoral college and his
triumph is complete, and the strength
of his candidacy is thereby made i'm
pressive.
A Democratic authority, not car
ried away by party rancor or deceived
by party demagogy, the Baltimore
Sun. says of Mr.. That's election:
Mr.. Taft is honest, courageous
and candid. He attempted no CON
cealment. of his position on any Of
the issues which entered into the cam
paign. At the same time he refused
to appeal to the prejudices of the
special interests OF any classes among
the voters. He revealed himself to
the people as man of positive con-
victions, who adheres infiexibly to the
fundamental principles of the law; a
man who is essentially reasonable,
who believes in the equality OF all
men before the law, who typifies con-
structive craftsmanship. progress and
the spirit of sane reform by orderly
methods. -" In the opinion o.
thoughtful men Mr. Taft is the anti.
thesis of impulsive and mercurial
craftsmanship. He has convinced
the nation that he is a man of fixed
principles, definite purposes, essen
TALLY rational and deliberate; man
who acts upon knowledge and upon
reason and has sufficient reason for
every action"
