convinced of the superiority Of the
level that has been adopted and loaded
with impressive arguments on every
point. In the nature Of things there
could have been no other upshot to
their pilgrimage. From one end Of
the Zone to the other there is but one
story to tell and who more likely to hear
il at great length and in the finest vein
Of ardor than Congressman with their
ears in one hand and the key to appro-
priation in the other? We are quite sure,
moreover, that they heard the simple
truth 80 far as their informants could
perceive It; and we are not prepared
or disposed to impeach the integrity Of
the latter's vision. What impresses us
and has inspired these brief reflections
is the interesting iteration of visitations
to the Canal Zone by congressman and
the equally interesting repetition OF
their profound conclusions.
There can be, there always has been,
but one result of these vino-aqueous
excursions; and yet we are continually
entertained by them and always feebly
wondering what the next report will be.

The .yeff Davis silver Service.

Mississippi will derive scant comfort
from the comments of the best class of
Southern newspapers on the silver SER
vice presented to the battleship and the
counterfeit presentment Of JEFFERSON
DAVIS and his alleged ancestral estate
of Beauvoir engraved thereon. Some
Of the papers exalt the President Of
the Confederacy and parade his many
virtues, but. all Of them agree that the
silver service incident was in bad taste,
and express regret for it in no measured
terms. The present situation, indeed,
has verified in all important respects
THE suns modest premonitions of a
month ago.
What part in these various attitudes
and utterances is played by extraneous
considerations we do not pretend to
say No mention has been made of the
well known fact that JEFFERSON DAVIS
was not a native of Mississippi, nor has
any one explained that Beauvoir, on the
Gulf OF Mexico not far from Pass Chris
tian, never passed into the hands of the
Davis family until it was left by the will
of a Mrs. DORSEY about 1875.
Perhaps the less said about such mat
ters the better for all concerned; but it
seems entirely clear that the whole
country, including Southerners of OBJ
servation and responsibility, has con-
sidered the silver service incident and
celebratedt j with sorrow and distaste.

The Jewish Charities.

The lack OF harmony among the man
ayers Of the Jewish charitable organiza-
tions in New York, which has been
forced to public attention recently, dis
closes a situation which may have far
reaching consequences to the public.
Until few years ago the Jews could
say with truth that the poor and help
less Of their race were cared for by their
more successful and fortunate brethren
and imposed no burden on the commun-
ity at large. This was the fact when
the Jewish population was small. Now
there are not less than 100000 Jews in
New York city, among them many des-
perately poor, and the task Of supply
ing their needs is one OF the greatest
difficulty. which may have grown be-
yond the capacity Of the Jewish chari-
ties to meet it.
The dietary requirements OF his relig-
ion make the Jew disturbing inmate
of establishments for general relief, and
should the support of the infirm of the
race become n necessity Of municipal
administration new problems OF highly
intricate nature would be thrown on
the Government. These problems seem
almost inevitable in New York. In
Brooklyn, where within the last three
years great settlements Of Jews have
appeared, the leaders Of the colonies and
the public spirited generally are already
hard put to ii to make the necessary
provision for those who fall by the way.
A factor of importance in the situation
is the lack OF sympathy for the needy
immigrant exhibited by some Jews of
American birth and education, whose
training has loosed the bonds of race
and religion and who have lost the sense
of solidarity which has served to keep
the Jewish community alive and power
ful through centuries Of oppression. II
is the unhappy fact that in divesting
themselves of the old restraints and
obligations these members of the race
have in too many cases assumed no
responsibilities in their stead. This
condition is the cause Of sincere regret
and apprehension among serious minded
Jews.
1t must not be forgotten that while
making special contributions for their
own people the Jews have contributed
their shares, in taxes and by gifts, to
the maintenance of public and non-sec-
tartan works of relief Their burden,
like that borne by Roman Catholics in
educational matters, may be called
double one Under these circumstances
and taking into account the amazing
influx of Jews into this country, and
particularly into New York city, the inn
por,ance OF the situation now develop
ing and the necessity for careful study
of its various aspects is patent to all

An admirer Of THE SUN informs us
Of an outrage recently perpetrated on
those patrons of the Boston Public Library
who relieve the nonotony Of existence in
the capital Of Massachusetts by reading
our pages in the newspaper room OF that
institution. and he adds:
IT you care to investigate would rather you
did not Use my name. as live In house and
locality fun OF Christian Scientists would make
complaint myself OF the ibrar, hut for that fact.
They are very powerful here"
We shall not investigate, nor shall We
disclose to the Christian Scientists the
name Of our friend. Our own opinion is
that the dastardly act Of which he COM
plains will bring due punishment on those
responsible for il. Some person Of strong
convictions, long accustomed to find The
SUN in it's ancient and appropriate place
on the file board, going confidently to the
familiar spot and discovering the Chris
Gdn Science Monitor in the place, will. in
perhaps not unjustifiable rage, adopt vio-
lent measures TO express his displeasure.

One of the cheapest and most repulsive

TO autobiography, never forgets his
business training, his paramount duty,
namely, to compliment the inspired
intelligence and wisdom OF that con-
stituency whence he comes, So the
Hon. JACOB writes:
And it is a bigger achievement and
a much more difficult job to represent

IDENTIFY the Hon. SLoAT thinks so too, for
he earnestly advocates reduction OF
Southern representation. Fewer men,
bers and more Fassetts-ths is the obvi-
Gus intent of his remarks; and on the
point Of the Southern constituency he
is inexorably severe. A moment later,
referring to his own expense in supply
ing his constituents with Government
publications, he adds
But all this trouble and outlay the
Southern member, with his relatively
few supporters who can read and write,
is largely spared" We think these
same supporters are also spared some
thing; but the point is immaterial. 1t

A small board Is always moro efficient. It's

more attractive to capable men than A

The New Ambassador to Turkey.


There are few Americans with any
sort OF interdst in Turkish affairs who
will not welcome the news that Presi-
dent TAFT has asked Mr.. OSCAR s.
STRAUs to go to Constantinope for the
third time as the representative of our
Government. and that Mr. STRAUs has
accepted this post OF high honor and
great responsibility. His qualifications
for this particular embassy at the most
critical period in the national life OF
Turkey and at the most important
juncture in our relations with that en-
bire may be defined without exaggera-
ton as unrivalled AS Minister under
the Administrations of CLEVELAND and
MCKINLEY Mr.. STRAUs has had five
years experience Of the requirements
and the ways of one of the most difficult
sests Of diplomacy anywhere on earth.
Hehas the prestige Of record of success
there probably without equal in the his
toTy OF the legation. Mr.. STRAUs has
1otsprted With the ,unfailing tact, the
@nefgy, the astute comprehension of the
characteristics and methods OF the East
9rn races, the broad human sympathies
Snd the patriotic .singleness and fear
lessness of purpose which distinguished
(ae two terms of his former service at
fehstanthopie and demonstrated his
adequacy to any situation that might
$rfse. Nor will his usefulness be de-
creased by his more recent study and
nretieel experience as Secretary Of
Conmerce and Labor of the process OF
bringing into closer relations the COM
mercfaf and manufacturing interests OF
two countries. Truly, il is an appoint
ment that could not be better.

To THE EDITOR or TIE SUE-Sir: Per-
NIT me to protest against the insufficient
appreciation which you show for the work
of the Public Service Commission.
This morning with half-hearted enthu-
siasm you refer to the commissions stats
tics which establish the following PROPOSE
tions: that the nickels received by the sur
face lines would carpet Madison Square
Park to the depth Of an inch and half,
that those nickels piled one atop OF the
other would form a column 1,o35 miles In
height, that end to end those nickels would
reach more than 13 900 miles. OF the distance
by the postal route from New York city to
Shanghai, China.
Your editorial remarks convince me that
you have only q partial realization Of the
invaluable character OF these and similar
statistics. Is 1t not clear that by such care
full and arduous work the commission is grad
ually building up series of propositions
which will render the administration OF the
public service law easy, If not automatic!
Can We deny that the proper extent of the
transfer system. or indeed the proper
size Of the fare a passenger, may not be
determined in proportion to the thickness
of the carpet OF nickels or with regard to
the place where the line OF nickels would
stop?
or course We must give the commission
time before all these relations can be worked
out until they become a perfect system,
Is not improbable that before realizing the
greatest benefits from the. plan the COM
mission may find 1t necessary to consider
operating expenses and to ascertain me
canopy Of cost that covers the carpet oil
nickels. Perhaps the feasibility of Tenders
may be found to depend upon the question
whether the operating expenses stretch 10
Yokohama. and the praoticability OF new
cars may be demonstrated IL II is fonnu
that the cost Of operation goes merely -'p"
miles beyond Honolulu. &c..
insist that proper reflection must leaa
you to give more praise to these worthy
efforts OF the commission to clarity a diinchl,
subject and 10 introduce geometrical ana
geographical factors to brighten and vary
what otherwise would be a sombre ask,
Again, when we realize how much ehor,
must be lavishcd upon these new fields VI
endeavor we will be less critical OF ap-
parent delays In handling matters aohs
old and less fascinating lines. III
