Zionists have attempted nothing, those
people who were and are urging
Jewish political entity with ambassa-
doris and what not. They are singu-
larly silent when they should do the
most No! 1t will require the efforts
of united civilized humanity to bring
Russia to terms. Russia will yet have
to suffer the fate Of Spain. Spain
has never regained her greatness Of
the fifteenth century. But this battle
for rights and humanity will have to
be fought with modern weapons, and
in Russia. All that is required is the
men of initiative and determination;
governments that will not merely talk
and pass resolutions and speak sym
pathy, but that have the moral cour-
age to dare and do.

A'V'"nu Ito, Israel Zangwill, in
remarkable speech bristling with gen
uine Zangwillian scintillations, made
an important pronouncement to ease
the consciences of the impatient aad
the skeptical. Since an autonomous
colony under the aegis of Great Bri-
tain has for the time being been found
incapable of realization, Southwest
Morocco, presumably without the
storm belt, has been suggested as de-
sirable for the purpose in view. We
feel. however, that the United States
or Canada would offer better advan
tages, if instead of colonies the pro-
moters would be satisfied with cola
nists. The former would degenerate
into self-imposed ghettos and defeat
our great object in view, namely, help
elevate and allay prejudice; whereas
the latter would aid in developing
Jewish manhood and wOmanhood by
means of contact with Americans and
American institutions. Canada's
Premier some time ago delivered him
self of the same opinion, and declared
that Jewish immigrants were in every
way desirable as colonists, but not il
they intended to form colonies Such
are apt to be danger, both subjcc-
lively and effectively. The aims of
the Ito are very commendable, but
we regret very much that their efforts
are so sadly misdirected.

to elevate and educate Russian i'm
migrants. The object is indeed very
praiseworthy. These people are like
wise saturated with Jewish culture,
so that they may be able to withstand
the evils Of their environment and
remain staunch and loyal to the faith
of their fathers. Some such work
should be encouraged and undertaken
in our cities and towns in this coun-
try where these immigrants cOngre-
gate in either large or small numbers.
The matter is urgent. These people
congest and form ghettos, joining
with the worst elements in corruption
and lawlessness. We can correct and
prevent all this. Nay! The obligation
and responsibility rest with us. Some
of these people are indeed unreform-
able and should never have come to
these shores. The vast majority, how
ever, are of plastic material and, If
treated with tact and in the proper
fashion, will make valuable citizens.
The endeavor is worth while.

The Jew who respects his faith and
the Christian who respects his get
along together best. They admit that
there are differences; they confront
a clean and clear proposition which
both understand and agree to leave
untouched because it is private and
cannot affect social, civic or philan-
thropic relationships.-Rabbi Israel
Aaron, Buffalo.

duty. They should be social institu-

the good of the individual and the
community. Ethics stand not apart
from religion. They are both includ-

the unfittest to survive and not be
merely institutions for marriage and
burial. There should be more unity
of effort, more cohesion, more laying
aside of personal and caste prejudices
and antipathies. Without cohesion
this true religious effort is impossible.

the little over decade of its exist

has been well officered in the past. and
the present presidential incumbent,
Rev. Solomon Levy, may be trusted to
perform his task creditably. His ad-

his distinguished predecessors, was
real mastery effort and most CON-
mendable. The lecturer treated An.

history is complete because modern
problems are complex. Rev. Mr.. Levy
therefore urged the need of specializ,

though a general knowledge would at
the start, we believe, be most neces-
sary. We would here suggest that an

branches in every cOuntry's capital
and sub-branches in the metropolitan
cities of every such country's stat
and other divisions. National "

the published reports would be valu-
able and of absorbing interest. Some
Jews know not they have a his

the fact, blank astOnishment in their
faces They do not even know that
in some countries such things as jew

friend, Mr. Levy, we trust he will
strive in this direction and thereby

Glass ToYs,
HIRAM A. RAKE,

Glass toys are the latest for babies
They are intended to replace the dear
old painted articles that baby would
put into his mouth and consequently
run serious danger Of lead poisoning.
But to the onlookeer 1t would seem as
though death by glass were little pref
cradle to death from paint and that
baby is quite as likely to endanger his
life through breakage of his toy as he
is by sucking it.
Broadly this is true, but the glass of
which playthings are made is so heavy
that it takes a regular Sandow of a
young one to hold them. The object
Of thickness is of course to lessen the
danger of breakage, but even the
strongest can chip at the edge, and q
splinter is capable Of doing a good deal
Of damage.
AS matter of fact, only the babies
of the rich are likely to be protected
in this doubtful fashion, for the toys
made Of glass are by no means mex.

ordinary families will have to thrive

CHRISTMAS.
What 1t Is To Big Folks and
Little Ones.

You know what Christmas is, says
Eugene Wood, in the December Define
ator. In a manner of speaking it is kind
of Sunday. Six days of the week the
ideal set before you is to have the alarm
clock wake you; to gobble down your
breakfast before you are thoroughly
aroused: to rush to the shop and get
your overalls on before the whistle gets
done blowing or be docked an hours
time; to work like mailer until noon,
when you look into your dinner pail to
see what the old lady has put there for
YOU, and warm your coffee on the steam
pipes, to begrudge the. time for that
luncheon to lick into your work again
till six O'Clock, with the foreman saun-
tering up and down, watching that you
don't take too many drinks of water, or
get chip in your eye too often, or gas
too much with the man next to you to
get home so tired that you fall asleep
reading the newspaper after supper-the
same thing over again tomorrow and
the next day, and the next day, and the
next day, all your life long. That's
business.
Three hundred and siXty-four days of
the year we live up to that ideal, and st.
Paul calls in vain to us across the ages :
Remember the words of the Lord
Jesus, how He said, 1t is more blessed
to give than to receive" That isn't
business. And when you say, at isn't
business" it is supposed to close the in
cident.
But Christmas comes along. You tell
your little ones that awful whopper about
Santa Claus and his reindeer, and they,
to whom you are the pattern of truthful
ness, stand and listen to you with then
jaws hanging loose and their eyes look
ing like hard boiled eggs with the shells
off. And the older ones aid and abet
you in the deceit, and help the little ones
compose their sprawling letter to old
Santa, asking for dolls and skates, and
choo-choo cars and all suoh extrava
gances, when you ought to be saving VI
your money against a rainy day. AnC
you skimp yourself of necessary food tc
buy these follies, and sit up nights vast
ing your strength for the next day, (whicl
really doesn't belong to you, since YOU
boss buys it and pays for it), and wheI
eleven O'Clock, Christmas eve, comes
and you get down from the chair, hav
ing hung up the last gilt ball or glas
peacock, you are so tuckered you cal
scarcely stand. But you turn ont TIN
gas and light the candles, to see hoy
pretty it all looks, and your wife says
won't she be tickled at this AM
won't he jump for JOY when he see
that - and you put your arm aroun'
her, and the twinkling candles swim be
fore your sight, and your throat kind O
chokes you. Isn't it lovely?

Something for HOnesdalers to

One of the drawbacks to Honesdale's
growth and greater prosperity is the inn
preston that the outside world has of
our actual status. Strangers get their
impressions from the published descrip-
tions of our town, which is that Homes
dale is situated on branch of the Erie
Railroad, has population of $500, and
was at one time the head Of the Della
ware q Hudson Canal, which is now
ABANDONED. Dun's and Bradstreet's
agencies, reports, railway guides, post
office directories, and all publications
which are deemed reliable and dissent
nate authentic information, tend to con-
vey the impression that Honesdale is one
of the many little villages that dot The
map, and are tributary to some large
city. One of the first questions that a
Honesdaler is requested to answer is !:
"How far are you from Philadelphia or

The Church In The Public Eye.

Monday nights street procession from
st. Georges with its flaming cross, its
band and its singers of gospel hymns,
constituted q striking novelty in the
work of an established New York church.
As sign of the times this demonstra-
ton may be considered along with the
Barre, VT, preacher, who says he has
doubled his congregation by means of
display advertising, even to the extent
OF half pages in the newspapers.
The spread of the Emmanuel move
mcnt, in which the mind is set actively
to the healing of the body, furnishes
still another example of current depart
ure from the routine of church effort.
In forming street professions church
is said to initiate the Salvation Army ;
in large-letter advertising it apes the
man of commercial instinct in propa-
eating the faith cure it is accused of
taking leaf from the book of Christian
Science. Yet the parish or congrega-
ton going into one or all of these ac-
tivities can be actuated by no other de-
sire than to increase its strength, its
field and its usefulness. Its life depends
on the maintenance of popular inter-
est. Are those its best friends who
would limit by tradition its appeals to
the popular attention?

devil should have all the good tunes
Perhaps he would find it no easier to see

is consistent and tells story that is full

situations which are exceptionally dra.

THE EGG QUESTION.
Does 1t Pay to Keep Hens p
Practical Hints to Poultry
Ralsers,
Correspondence of THE CITIZEN.

Correspondence OF TIE CITIZEN.
STEENE, Dec. 9th.--As there has been
considerable controversy of late among
farmers in this and other sections of the
country, as to whether or not it pays to
keep hens, venture to give you for the
benefit of the readers of THE CITIZEN
some facts based on my own observa-
ton.
We hear of a farmer who has at the
present time $50 hens, and gets from
them during the months OF October and
November an average of 100 eggs daily.
Now know of several farmers in this
section, who keep from 30 to 200 hens,
but don't at this time of the year get an
egg, and are all the time finding fault
because their chickens don't lay. no.
tice, also, that, as a rule among farmers
who keep a lot of poultry, that they pay
! little or no attention as to whether or not
their hens are in fit condition to live
and thrive-whether they get feed but
once day and whether they have access
/ to fresh water whenever they choose.
/ Now, then, what would our horses,
our cows or our pigs amount to if they
didn't get proper care--a warm place to
sleep, their regular three meals day
and good, pure water to drink
l keep 80 hens, all last springs chicks
but six. During the months of October
and November the average from these
pullets was lS0 eggs each month. II
