NEW YORK.

NEW YORK.
One million Yiddish pamphlets will
be distributed to incoming immigrants
at Ellis Island. The pamphlet, 'Thc
United States: Information to lmmi-
grants" says in part: "The person
who leaves the land in which he was
born and goes to another to make his
home, wants to learn the truth about
number Of things. TO give such in
information this is printed, not by the
government nor by any set OF men who
are interested in availing themselves
of your labor, or seeking to get your
money, but by society which has for
its object the teaching to all of love
of their adopted country. This socie-
ty is called the Sons of the American
Revolution. All people in the United
States are workers in one way or an
other. Everyone who comes here to
make his home is expected to work.
There is work to be done on the
farms, in the mills and factories, on
the railroads, in the cities, and each
and all of these will give you a fair
compensation for the work you do.
While there are many in this country
who have become rich, as result OF
their own labor and saving, there are
also more who are poor and will al
ways be poor. The possibilities of be-
coming rich is open to all, but the con-
dition will come only as a result of
labor and industry, and habits of
economy. The government does not
pay for the support of any priest or
minister, and there is no tax laid upon
the people to maintain the church.
There is no country in which it is so
easy for the young to obtain an edu-
cation. In most places all children be-
tween certain ages are required to at
tend school in order that they may
learn. The education can be obtained
without cost. the expense being borne
by the state Liberty does not mean
that anyone can do whatever he
pleases. BY liberty is meant that as
long as a person obeys the laws of the
country. which are made by the peo-
pie, he is free to follow such calling
as he chooses: to worship God in such
form as he believes to be the best: to
be protected in his person from as
sault by others or imprisonment by
officials. and to be protected in the pos
session of any property which may be
honestly his. This country is one of
law. and every one. rich or poor, high
or low, is governed by the same law
and protected by the same law. The
President of this country must obey
that law just as you will be required

East Africa and Sinai Peninsula prof.
ects are still in the minds of many of
us. Now comes very pressing invi-
tatiOn to settle in the Soudan. 1t
comes from Sir Reginald Wingate,
who, we are Informed, is very much
pleased with the small Jewish com
munity already in that region, and
pays glowing tribute to it, praising its
many-sided virtues. He urges the
formation of agricultural colonies on
the basis of those already existing in
Palestine and the Argentine. At the
outside the invitation appears to be
very alluring. We understand further
that the climate will not prove disas-
trously harmful to those who have
been accustomed to cold country.
Considering the fact thar at the pres
ent time the Jewish problem is not
soluble in Russia and that ZiOnism is
an impracticable dream. we see no
earthly reason why such an offer coulu
not be accepted, providing all things
else were satisfactory. We are for
ever reading of Russian reaction and

are being over-crOwded with Jewish
immigrants of all species, good, bad
and Indifferent. Nay, there is Il pos
sibility of this immigration being fur
ther restricted. Some temporary
measure is, therefore, urgent. which
need be neither Zionistic nor Terri.
torialistic. And this new offer is as
good as anything that could be de-
vised. The time has come for action
of some sort At this juncture an in
ternational Jewish committee. com
posed of liberal-minded and unbiased
men, could accomplish some valuable
work. Some such a procedure is more
than necessary. We are talking con-
siderably and doing nothing: and all

to worse. Upon us there rests Sc

in every good faith and we would do
well to lay aside petty differences for

PHILADELPHIA. July 30.-Meetinr
at 4 o'clock, wooed andswon within ff-
teen minutes and married at $50, is the
record for rapid-fire matchmaking
that has been set by Charles MacGreror
and Estelle Myers Snack, both of Balti-
more, in Philadelphia.
Before they Glanced to form an ac-
quaintance in the Broad street station
at 4 o'clock the young couple had
never seen each other. Within fifteen
minutes they had become convinced
that it was a sure case of love at first
sight. The rest of the hour and twenty
minutes was given up TO arranging the
details essential to the marriage.
MacGregor Is a wealthy real estate
dealer. He lives at 423 East Chase
street, Baltimore. Miss Snack lives at
i3S East Preston street. the same city.
The bridegroom is 80 years old and the
bride 70.
Miss Snack had been spending her va
cation at atlantic City. She was re-
turning home. via Philadelphia. AS she
stood in tic waiting room of the Broad
street station she dropped her purse.
\. few feet away stood MacGregor, on
his way to Atlantic City to begin spend
ing his vacation.
He noticed the purse and sprang
forward and picked it up, His eyes met
the girls for a moment. Both blushed.
MacGregor found himself strangely I'M
able 10 go away. a conversation was
begun with the THANK YOU" of the
girl,
When they discovered that their
homes were. in the same city the way
was easy. Each was very much inter
ested in the other. At 4:1O the onver-
sation turned to a discussion of mar
riaee. AT 4:l4 it had taken on such an
aspect that MaQGregor was able to pro-
pose without changing the subject. one
minute later he had been accepted.
The difficulty then was to arrange the
marriage. As MacGregor pondered he
, was aroused by n heavy slap on the
back. When he looked around he al
most shouted with joy. Before him,
hand ontstrctched and smiling, was the
Rev. David r. Nicely. pastor of the
Asquitl street Presbyterian Church. in
Baltimore. his own church. Now there
could be no hitch.
When the circumstances were eX-
planned the minister agreed to perform
the ceremony. 1t was after hours for
the license bureau. so Clerk Goebel. of
the marriage license bureau. was
reached by telephone. Goebel said that
he had blanks at his house, so the trio
