Reformer Against Reformer, ~ They
Run for the Senate.
Fruu the DAYTON Nevz
Burkett Is popular for the same reason
that Mr.. Bryan is-because he IL IN q
sense a refOrmer. He 1avors most OF the
things Mr.. Bran favors- He has op-
posed the ruling forces in the Republican
party IN the Senate. He Is in favor OF a
reduction % the tariff. and of free lum-
Der, and of nearly everything else Mr..
Bry9T fsvOTs. So that there win be few
people who viii be able 20 distinguish be
tween the principles advocated BY the
two men.
Il Is unfortunate that Mr Bryan can
not oppose an oId-line Republican. That
would give the country q chance 20 deter

newer one But with BUrkett and Bryan

The New Jerusalem.

The Zionist movement. which some of
the leading Jews OF the world have been
fostering for many years, seems IN a fair
way to have some measure Of realization
at last though the publicly and legally
assured home" for the Jews which was
the dream Of Theodore HerzI may not be
in Palestine, which was part Of his dream.
The various Zionist congresses that
have met from time 10 time have made
little progress. and the colonies OF Jews
uprooted from among the various nations
and set down in Palestine have Ian
guished But new hope has come to the
Zionist leaders through the president Of
the Turkish Chamber of Deputies. Ahmed
Ria Bey, who has invited the Zionist
commissioners 20 form a Jewish state IN
der home rule in Mesopotamia. The Of
fer has given the Zionist movement new
impetus. and Israel ZangwiH. who. In a
measure, has succeeded to the leadership
laid down by Herzl. has the project IN
der consideration It is also averred that
Mr. Jacob sehln. the Jewish banker. Of
New York, who once declared Zionism
hostile TO Americanism, is cooperating
with Mr.. Zangwin.
Ideally and POLITICALLY. Palestine was
the one place for the establishment OF
Zionist colonies; but historically. Mesopo-
tannia has almost as many claims 10 lew
ieb REGARD ae uatss+t-a o.. .
Zionism has been to send the Jew back
20 the soil. which for centuries he has
deserted through persecution. and. as If
has been pointed out, the valleys Of the
EuPhrates and the Tigris. with their mar
velous fertility. might be brought back 70
greater usefulness than they have ever
known Other parts OF Mesopotamia
would need irrigation. which could be ac-
complished. it is estimated, at an ex-
pense Of some $4,000 600: but this would
open immense stretches Of arabic land
capable Of supporting a large population.
There is no lack of funds. for the late
Baron de Hirsch left in trust some SIS
10000 for the Zionist cause. and there are
rich Jews the world over who would
cheerfully subscribe for a movement
which promises so much betterment 10
the race
Nor need American Jews have any
qualms as 10 the un-Americanisrn Of the
Zionist movement for it was a movement
born Of anu-semitism. and its appeal Is
for those Jews that are prosecuted. In
this country not only are they free and
respected and prosperous, but many of
them have been honored with positions Of
the highest eminence in the gift of the
government.
But there is no reason why they should
not help the Jews in Russia, where the
100000 Jews are the subjects Of cruelty.
injustice. and oppression; nor the Jews
OF other nations. where "suffrance is the
badge" OF all the tribe. To establish a
government under home rule in Mesopo-
tamia would be to create home. a cen

just and reasonable. and would net the
government a comfortable revenue with
out an Unkind or mercHess burden upon

that tobacco Is in many cases a practical
necessity. but no ore can IN reason claim
that the consumer Of tobacco would not

The fact that the government seriously
