THE zEppELuN EXPLOIT.

The Brooklyn Eagle argues that to
Count Zeppelin should be awarded the
title Of King Of the Air. in considera-
ton OF his recent wonderful feat of
aviation. The Richmond Times-Di
patch declares that his exploit "estab-
fishes the fact that a man can fy
about in the air In any direction he
desires. and for virtually as long as
he wishes"
With due respect to two Neli-inform-
ed contemporaries We think both OF
them are rather premature and optim-
istic about the matter. The exploit
was wonderful one. and was remark
ably and notably successful, as all
must admit. but the kingship of the
upper air has not yet been fully earn
ed. We do not know what the wrights
may do In the near future. They are
some on the fly themselves, ana may
perform feats that will cast Zeppelin
and his long flight in the shade. Bet
ter not put the crown on him Just yet.
As to thet matter, Zeppelin himself
may make a disastrous failure in his
next effort.
The Times-Dispatch, we take 1t, is
also somewhat premature. 1t virtually
claims that the recent successful flight
establishes the fact that a man may
ny anywhere he pleases and as long
as 1t suits him, and that we consider
stating the case much too strongly and
positively. All must admit that the
latest exploit of Zeppelin was re-
markable, not only for what was ac-
tually accomplished but for what the
result promises for the future. Hav-
ing accomplished so much why may it
not be possible that he or another will
accomplish still more wonderful feats
in the future 1t is not impossible that
he or some other experimenter will
not only earn the title of king of the
Air." but will fully demonstrate all
that The Times Dispatch claims has. al
ready been done.
In this connection we learn from the
dispatches that the German people
are highly elated over the Zeppelin
performances, and some go so far as to
say that the Germans see in this per-
fermance an assurance that soon they
Will be enabled to construct and oper-
ate fleet of aerial battIeships that
Will place England or any other Euro
pean country at their mercy. Whether
such results will follow the Zeppelin
performance is for the future to de-
eide, but he has certainly aroused wide
interest and enthusiasm among the
subjects of the Kaiser.

Men Who VIII Make the Tariff.


While we have classified the members
OF the Senate under their States, 1t would
have been easy to have arranged them I'M
der three or four heads according as they
were interested in mines, manufactures, In
railroads, or public service corporations, or
had no interests whatever and no income
except what they earn as Senator's That
there are not a few OF the latter class is
plain from reading of our directory, but
we think that our readers will be amazed
at the number OF Senators who are vitality
interested In large business enterprises Now.
We have made this tabulation BECAUSE Of
Its bearing upon the tariff bill before the
Senate. With all respect to the wisdom,
sagacity. and business ability of the Sena-
tors We deny that 1t Is possible for large
number of them to deal with tariff issues in
anything like a judicial frame of mind We
do not believe It is likely. for instance, that
a Senator like simon Guggenheim can have
an unbiased opinion as to what should be
and what should not be the tariff on ores,
or that Senator Carter of Montana could
form proper opinion az to what is the
right tax on wool and wooden garments Yet
upon these men rests largely the decision
to what the average citizen Is going to
pay for the next Few years for the clothes
ne wears. the things he eats and the ma
teriais he uses. Can anyone maintain that
they will give the country Scientific" re-
vision OF any schedule?

The statement given out by The Jew
ish Morning Journal to the eject that
the President of the Turkish Pariia-
ment has extended sincere invita-
tion to the Jews In Russia and Rou-
mania to settle in Turkey is a sig
niflcant evidence Of the change that
has taken place In that country since
the Young Turks assumed control Of
through his Hebrew servant Joseph.
invited Jacob and his sons to settle
In Egypt there has hardly been an in
stance of the Jews as a people being
sincerely invited and welcomed to any
OF the old world countries. And II
may be remarked incidentally that the
experience Of the Hebrews in Egypt
was not pleasant one in the long
run.
1t Is o fact that the Jews as a race
have never been welcomed to any OF
the old world despotic countries. In
some of them they have been perse-
cuted and enslaved and treated worse
than the brutes. This has been notably
the case in Russia. where the life or
property of Jew has existed solely
at the pleasure OF the rulers. from the
highest to the lowest and no question
of humanity has been considered in
connection with the race. Some other
nations have shown little more regard
for justice and humanity than the
Russians have where the Jews were
concerned. and on the whole their lot
In those nations has been hard one.
Here In the United States we do not
need to extend any special Invitation
to the Jewish race any more than we
do to other races or peoples. nor do
we need to assure them of fair treat
ment We know what valuable and
desirable citizens they are and they
know that they are welcome among us,
as other good people are. but It is
dificuit in the East, and especially in
Turkey. and IL the new government Of
that country has really and eincerely
invited them to make their homes
there. and IL the government and the
people show their sincerity by treating
them right in every respect 1t will be
something new as well as commend
able.
II this invitation is made and ac-
cepted in good faith. and If the Jew
ish people are properly treated 1t will
be good for both themselves and Tur-
key. That country has been domi-
mated by selfshness. exclusiveness and
religious intolerance for centuries. 1t
needs new blood. new habits. ana new
methods. If the Jews settle there in
considerable numbers, and IL they are
properly treated and encouraged, 1t
will mean such a renovation and re-
juvination of that country as has
rarely been witnessed In any part of |
the earth. The people. the country and |
the government will be Infinitely bet
ter for the change, and Turkey will
take on new life and begin a new era |
of existence. 1t Is to be hoped that |
there is no mistake about the matter,
and that the prosecuted Jews who |
wish to remain In the old world can |
ina welcome homes in the new Tur-
key. E
