Many prominent Hebrews through
out the country are indorsing the
stand taken by Senator Guggenheim,
of Colorado, who at meeting Of the
Senate Census committee, objected
to the plan to have the Jews class
flied as race, as well as to their
nationality. He insisted that Jew
is native of the country to which
he swears allegiance, being different
from other citizens only as to relig-
ious belief.
Rev. DR.. Elwood Worcester. of
Boston, who founded the system of
religious therapeutics known as the
Emmanuel movement, has now be-
come a victim of overwork and is
seriously Ill. 1t is announced from
his Boston headquarters that he Will
discontinue all work and place him
self under the care of his own eX-
perts in the science OF mind cure ar
ter first consulting with the medical
doctors as to his organic disease.

The San Francisco graft prosecll-
tions differ from all other similar
efforts for civic purity. They have
became almost an institution, prov
ing that such endeavors for honesty
and the square deal are not necessar-
lily sporadic, leading only to reaction
They serve also as Il continual warm
ing to corrupt officials and corrupt-
ing special interests in other Ameri-
can cities, says the Kansas City Star.
The dramatic incident where Heney
and Burns men made wholesale ar
rests among the attorneys and spe-
cial retainers of the "men higher

zuity and pertinacity for promoting
fair trial as rich and powerful
defendants can do for defeating JUS
tice. Interest in the fight for munich
pal squaredealing in San Francisco
has not languished, as the cynics and
lawbreakers usually count upon it's
doing. On the contrary it has
grown, and today there is no pub
lie action of more dramatic intensity
transporting on the American political
stage than the splendid effort for
right things in the Pacific coast city.
Nearly every nation under the sun
is today paying golden tribute to
France. She has an army Of credit
Ors but no debtors. About two
score governments have to remit in
terest money to her. The interests
and dividends upon the capital fol
her small investors represent earn
ings in all parts of the world. The
road to Paris, becomes, therefore

favorable is the international credit
balance to France that, since 1891

has found its way to the republic. II
the year following the panic the
stock Of gold In the chief banks q
the world Increased $400,O00,00O
