In Cairo, Ill, mob attacked the
Jail and attempted to lynch a negro
who was only suspected of having
snatched a purse from a woman and
ran away with it, with the result
that one was killed and several were
wounded by the sheriff and his depu-
ties. This northern mob was willing
to commit murder in revenge for a
misdemeanor. Such a thing has
never been known to occur in the

a successor to Senator Bacon two
years ahead of time. Our contempt
rary dominates Congressman Brant-
ley for the high office the Bibb
statesman is filling with such signal
ability and distinction, and says:
Inc activity of the candidates and
their supporters justifies the con-

Senator Bacon is going to be of such
a character as to arouse strong DO
litical feeling throughout the entire

Cd The Young Turk, a CONSTANT
nople newspaper, makes a strong ap-
peal to the government to take up the
question of Jewish immigration:
Turkey suffers at present from pau
city of population, and under such a
condition nothing could be done for
our country. Veiy true, the country
could be populated and Bulgariashrdlu
could be populated by Musselman
farmers from Russia India and Bull
garia; but their immigration is very
slow, and according to the latest CEN
sus, their numbers are steadily de-
creasing; and so we are compelled to
depend entirely upon the energy of
the Jews.
These people, coming here from
countries where they are oppressed
and prosecuted, populate our desert
ed land and form peaceful inhabit-
ants. If the Jews are interested in
Mesopotamia their capitalists will
surely come to our help. There is,
in fact, no other remedy for the gov

make a thorough study of the ques-

There is no doubt that the Jews
would not only develop Mesopotamia
but also Turkey and Palestine. If
the government would be really in
earnest, it could render the country
a true and permanent service. We
could greatly profit by the immigra-
ton of Jews, from their energy and
culture, as well as from their leaders
and their capital. Moreover, it is

There are Sabbaths to be observed,
and there are festivals and holy days
to be observed These days are pecul-
lar to the Jew. In other respects your
duties towards yourselves, towards your
fellowmen, towards your country and
towards your God differ not to any ma
terial extent from those of any other
upright, God-fearing citizen.
There is only one point that l am
particularly anxious to impress upon
you, and that is to publicly show your
respect to your faith, wherever you
may go and in whatever circumstance
you may be placed. Take the Sabbath,
for example. | know full well that you
cannot observe it as the Bible enjoins
For the conditions demand you to work
and our sages declare that man
should prefer to make a week day of
his Sabbath rather than be dependent
upon his fellowmen.
And yet you can sanctify the day by
attending the temple, by firmly resolv-

unless necessity compels you to enter
them, and, in general, by making some
recognizable distinction between the
Sabbath and the week day.

this in mind, then, and act according

have every possible reason to be proud
of them.
Listen to the cutting words in which
a Christian author distinguishes be-
tween the modern rich Jew and his
poor observant father. The poor Jew
gloried in his race when it was
despised and rejected; the rich

in this country despises his race,
