tine itself-within the range Of che city
OF David. and there would be no need
for any further migration. Under the
mild and tolerant rule of Turkey there
would be ample room for the develop
ment OF a self governing and progress
sive community---w11ich might form the
nucleus of neutrality-suspicious. ma
tlonality.
1t is easy to understand the reasons
which might make a liberal Turkish
government look with favor on such a
proposition. The native Jews who still
linger around the confines OF Jerusalem
are, as a rule, a hopeless and unpro-
gressive race. The stimulus OF con-
tact with the Jewish exiles-whose
wits have been shapened by the friction
OF competition with other nationalities
could hardly fail TO rouse them from
their torpor and stimulate their dor
mant faculties to the utmost. The pres
emit rulers of Turkey are men who have
long resided abroad, and who know
what the Jews have contributed to the
material and Intellectual life and pros
perity Of every civilized country. 1t is
natural that they should recognize it
as the highest craftsmanship to seek
to attract this valuable element to their
own country-and make 1t contribu-
tory to the development of the long
neglected resources of Turkey. Il is
well understood that in every progress
sive country-such as the United
States, Great Britain, France and Ger
many-there are thousands Of Jews
whose withdrawal from the business
interests in which they are engaged
would paralyze civilization. There are
still many millions in Russia and else
where to whom removal to free at
mosphere In Palestine would mean the
infusing OF new life and energy-and
these might easily form the basis of a
free, governing and self-sustaining
Jewish state.

Trains Going West
RAILROAD TREsPAsS.

The accident in Fargo Sunday after
noon through which the 1O-year-
Gerard boy lost both legs by falling
under an N. P. train-shows the ne
cessity Of action by the railways to pre-
vent trespass on their property. The
eastern roads have peen working for
years to remove trespassers-espe-
cially hobos and small boys. The former
have given the arrangements of the
roads a great deal of trouble by their
determination to ride free and use the
railway lines for camping and other
purposes.
The boys in almost every town in the
state have come to regard the railroad
yards as Fairgrounds and are infatuat-
ed with the plan of catching onto slow
~ moving trains.
Statistics recently issued by the rail-
ways show that trespassing on their
property has resulted in Al, 416 fatali-
ties and more than $4,000 injuries. The
number increases each year. In 1898
4,O6S people were killed. In 1907 the
total fatalities were 5.612-more than
fifteen per day.
The number Of fatalities from rail-
way trespassing from 1899 to 1909 was
nearly -four fifths OF the total number
killed in the union army during the
Civil war. The next session of the
NORTH Dakota Legislature will be asked
to enact rigid anti-trespass laws

SOCIETY OF EQUITY.

The Minot Independent has the fol-
lowing editorial on the splendid work
being done by the American Society
of Equity OF this state:
The American Society of Equity is
doing noble work, and the members
should be encouraged in the great
work which they have begun. The
farmer is paid for mis- wheat only
about IS per cent OF what one has to
pay for -four, the manufactured pro-
duce, and 1t is very apparent that
there is too wide a difference in price.
The farmer, unorganized, is at the
mercy Of the grain gambler. Organ
lied properly, he has the situation In
his own. hands. 1t Is to the interest
Of practically everyone Of us in the
northwest, that the farmer receive for
his grain, what it is worth. The fruit
growers of the south for years were
robbed, until they organized. Today
they market their own fruit, and are
getting much better prices for it.
Under the old system, car of fruit
sent from Georgia to New York, might
be allowed to spoil by the commits
sion men, or at least this report might
be sent back to the grower. How
would he know the difference, and
what good would it do IL he did? Under
tine present system, he is bound to re-
ceive fair treatment. What the fruit
growers Of Georgia have done, the
grain growers of North Dakota can do
1t may take time. They should not be-
come discouraged.
