colonize the land and finally to estab-
lish a state there. 1t is expected that
this opposition will strongly manifest
itself at the coming Zionist convention,
which will open here with 800 dele
gates from all parts Of the United
States on Sunday. An article by Louis
Lipsky, editor of The Maccabean, the
official organ of the Zionists, takes Mr..
Zangwill to task for his attitude, de-
claring that Mr.. Zangwill, as the head
of the Jewish Territorial association,
desires to establish a nation In Meso-
potamia. Editor Lipsky writes that
the Zionists' one idea Is to establish
Jewish state in Palestine only. The
article says Zangwill ignores the Zion
lists.

Washington, June 8: Replying to
w. ]. Bryan's attack on seventeen OF
them In the current issue Of the Com
moner for voting on the lumber tax In
opposition to the Democratic platform,
Democratic senators today tell the
peerless One" to mind his own bus
mess. Said Senator Tillman: who
gave Bryan the right to say who is and
who is not a Democrat? I will not
worry about what he says. / answer
to the people Of my own state. hey
will attend to me If / don't do right.
1 am against free material. SAID
Simmons Of North Carolina: After
following Bryan to defeat twelve years
I do not see what right he has to die
tate to us in the senate who are at
tempting to place the party in a light
before the people that will enable US
to recover from the effects OF his
leadership. / care absolutely nothing
for what Bryan writes about me-" Said
Smith of Maryland: Bryan should
give the Democrats an opportunity TO
work out the salvation Of the party.
He had his opportunity and utterly
failed. Bryan should at least wait un-
til the bill passes before attacking his
. party in congress-" Other senators are
similarly vitriolic against Bryan.
Memphis, Tenn, June 9: After re-
electing General Clement A. Evans
commander in chief over his vigorous
but futile protest, and selecting MO-
bile, Ala, as the next place Of reunion,
the United Confederate veterans ad-
iourned their business meetings tonight
on the heels Of very stormy session.
The big feature Of the reunion, the pa
rade of the veterans, will be held to-
morrow, and this parade will close the
reunion Of 1909. The only candidate
for commander in chief placed in NOM
ination was General William M. Cabell,
commander of the trans Mississippi
division. Just before nominations were
in order, General Evans read an an
nouncement to the convention, in which
he declined reelection. He said he
had served in every capacity, from the
lowest to the highest. and that he felt
that the highest honor in the veterans
gift should be passed from one ex-Con-
federate to another in turn. But the
delegates disagreed with him and by
a vote of 1,540 to 744 for Cabell, re-
elected General Evans to command.
With tears streaming down his cheeks
and shaking with emotion, the stately
and aged soldier bowed to the COM
mands of his comrades. His election
followed one of the stormiest sessions
of the veterans which old-time dele
gates can recall.
-Greenville News: The South Caro-
lima Press association will be asked to
hold it's meeting at Clemson college in
1910, and the association will also be
asked to pay a visit of one day to the
college this summer, while the meeting
is in progress at Greenville. This has
been decided on by the college author
tiles, who propose to defray the cost
of entertaining the editors out Of their
own pockets. The step was decided on
because of the discussion that has been
going on over the college and its affairs.
The college authorities decided that
they would ask the editors Of the state
to visit Clemson and inspect the plant
and become familiar with it's manage
ment in all details. The entire COL
lege property will be turned over to the
editors for week, and they Will be
asked to inspect and criticise every
thing. The college authorities say they
are sincere in this. They want the
newspaper men to become familiar
with everything connected with the
college, and to write as they see fit in
their papers, so that the people of the
state may know just what Is going on
at Clemson. The invitation will doubt
less appeal strongly to many members
of the Press association, and it is quite
likely that the meeting of 1910 may be
held at Clemson college.
Washington, June 8: A tax upon
corporations, as a substitute for an in
come tax, does not appeal to the sem
ate. This was demonstrated today by
a canvass Of that body. 1t developed
that practically the same senators, who
are opposed to the income tax, are also
against the corporation tax. The in
