An Appeal to the
Jews Of Texas


an interest in the welfare and destiny
of his people, and will hail with Joy
any project that promises to bring to-
an end the centuries of Israels tragedy
of misery and humiliation, we address
this communication to you for your
earnest and prompt consideration.
In this blessed country, where the
Jew enjoys, in common with all other
citizens, peace and prosperity, and
where he has been placed in great
er position of strength and influence
than in any other land, it is incum-
bent upon him not to forget the cordi-
ton of his people in other countries;
but to labor for their material and po-
litical improvement, and to settle once
and forever the great Jewish Prob
lem
The object of Zionism is to establish
a legally secured home in Palestine,
and to raise thereby the dignity of the
Jews position in every Ian dwhere
they may dwell; and we invite your
aid in this great movement. 1t is Il
tremendous undertaking, perhaps the
greatest in history, but the Jews when
united are capable of great things
If we can strengthen our organization
and make each man feel and acknowl-
edge the duty he owes to his own flesh
and blood, we shall succeed Since
the Zionist movement is better under-
stood, much of the old prejudice
against it has disappeared 1t never
has been the purpose of Zionism to
send all the Jews to Palestine, ard
thousands who have opposed the estab-
lishment of Jewish State in Pales-
tine under this mistaken idea have
since joined hands with us and manful-
ly supporting us in our great enter
prise.
1t must be remembered, that we in
America constitute only one-eighth of
the Jewish population of the world,
and that about three-fourths of the 9TH
ers are living in Russia, Roumania
and other lands where they suffer the
cruelest prosecutions which human
beasts can devise.
There can never be an America for
the bulk of our people; for restrictive
emigration laws are barring them
; from, our shores and those of other
enlightened countries. Besides, the &C.
/ onomic conditions that soon breed anti
[ Semitism wherever the Jews settle in
large numbers should warn us against
the hope of a solution of the problem
} by following the old fatal course.

ASTRONOMY OF LITTLE PRACTICAL USE;

Lake Geneva, Wis, Aug. 20.-Admis-
sion that astronomy at present is do
ing little good for humanity was the
chief feature of yesterdays meeting
of the 10th annual conference of the
Astronomical and Astrophysical So
ciety of America at Yerkes observa-
tory, Williams Bay.
Professor Z. E. Barnard of Yerkes
observatory was the scientist TO make
this admission. and he did SO in re-
sponse to question.
81 do not fear the charge of attempt
ing to belittle our work when l say
astronomy is doing little good for hui
manity," said Professor Barnard, 'for
| mean only that it is doing little just
at this time. We must not forget that
it was theory evolved from study
of the stars that made possible the
discovery of America.

likely to make other discoveries almost
as important. and it is only by keep
ing constantly at our study of the
changes in the heavens that we can
hope ever to be of service TO mankind.

Mars wireless Plan Joke.
The assembled scientists took slap
at the project of w. II. Pickering, a
brother of President Pickering, of
flashing wireless messages from a
point in Texas to the planet Mars. The
society had been flooded with letters
from newspapers, societies, and indi-
viduals asking whether it would be adj
visable to contribute to the $10,000,0GG
fund Mr.. Pickering thinks will be need
ed to carry out his project. A state
ment was drawn up in answer to these
communications to the effect that it
was not considered worth while to
waste the time of the meeting with
discussion of matter of such self
evident improbability and impossible
ity.
