Inasmuch as the political subdivis-
ion OF oregon territory Is being dis
cussed to a considerable extent at
time, several measures of this
character being before the electorate
for settlement at the approaching
election, 1t may be interesting TO
know something more definite con-
cerning the territory from which 1t
is proposed to carve the county OF
Nesmith, one of the most conspicu-
Gus OF county division propositions.
The counties of Lane and Douglas,
from which it is proposed to take
1910 SQUARE miles for the formation
of Nesmith, contains 9,241 square
miles, or an area equaling one
seventh of the area of the New Eng
land states of Maine, New Hamp-
shire. Vermont, Massachusetts,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, while
the area of Douglas county exceeds
the area of Connecticut, and that oi
Rhode Island and Deleware com
bined. And Lane county has only
5S1 square miles less than its sister
on the south. The Joint area OF
these two vast counties is only 39
square miles less than the state o'
New Hampshire. which has ten coun
ties and a population OF more thar
100000.

for 25 years served as soldiers may
live outside the Pale" Students of
high educational institutions, apothe
wives, as well as skilled artisans, are
allowed to live in certain sections.
These walks of life include but small
ly difficult for Jew to meet require
ments and qualifications of classes to
the satisfaction of the Russian Govern
are placed in the way of the applicant.
For instance, only 10 per cent of the
students of university are allowed
to be of the Jewish race and these
are admitted only after a most rigid
Notwithstanding not eXacted of
the Russian students. In some of the
best schools the number allowed is
from to per cent. 1t may be add
ed that the Jewish students are sure
to carry off the honors if given any
sort of an opportunity to compete
with the Russian. Despite all these
stringent regulations to keep them in
ignorance the Jewish people on the
whole receive far better education
that the Russian peasant. When the
boys of the Jewish families are be-
tween the age of five and six years
they are sent to the Chedar, a sort
of private Jewish school, Here the
child studies until he is of age, which
in the case of the Russian Jew is 13
years. If his family is very poor the
boy must sometimes leave before that
age and become apprenticed to
trade. Many of the wealthiest Jews
send their sons to England and Ger
many to be educated and to learn the
languages, for the study of foreign
languages in the Chedar has recently
been forbidden by the Gar. The girls
are not so fortunate unles they ere
of rich parentage, in which case they
are educated at home. Even the poor
est class are industrious, and at IA
are good housewives, besides earning
a few pennies by sewing or making
gloves, etc, for factories. They mar

Second Year
WITHIN THE "PALE" OF JEWISH
RUSSIA.

RUSSIA.
The Land of the Bear has had an
other anti-Semitic horror. The excuse
in the proclamation was that num-
bers of Jews had settled in Kief with
out permission" This city forms a
part of what is known as the Jewish
Pale" where this race is allowed to
reside, and since the great massacre
of 1881 the Jews have been allowed to
live in comparative peace in Kief.
They now control the best shops, fac.
tories, theatres, etc, and the Russian
merchant has very likely complained
to the government that the obnoxious
Jew "is running business and will soon
own the land if he is not made to feel
the lash"
The persecution of the Jews in Rus
STA has always been for commercial
rather than religious reason. His apti-
tude for making money is the real
cause of his persecution although the
degenerate illiterate Russian, whose
religion is only superstition, is
taught to believe that the Jews steal
Christian children and use them for
sacrifice at the Passover, that they
stone religious professions and insult
the sacred icons of the Russian
Church. This talk with few bottles
of vodka, the vile drink which has be-
sotted Russian peasants, will lead to
Jewish massacre at any time.
Only those who have visited Rus
STA can fully understand the condl-
tions there. The average Russian
looks upon Jew as unworthy of the
consideration of human being, and
believes that strenuous measures
should be taken to keep him under
control. To be- sure, there are few
Russians who have protested against
the horrible atrocities which have
been practiced in Russia, and some OF
these are today paying for their pro
tests by languishing in Russian pris-
ons branded as enemies to the Holy
Gear and revolutionists against the
government. The Jew is the merchant
and money lender OF the country. Rus
STA has seen her thousands of peas
ants pauperized by officials and then
brought on the verge of starvation by
the Jewish money lender, who LENDS
the peasant even on his implanted
crops. These crops are failure ire
auently through the peasants OWL
iaziness. Somebody must answer To-
these conditions, so it falls on the Jew
and "pogrom," as these massacre
are termed, follows. The horrible
atrocities of these massacres are to-

bridegroom is able to furnish. For
instance, clerk will sometimes re-
quire a dowry of two hundred rou-
bles, while a matchmaker and ieweler
would receive six hundred roubles
(about $1,000. 1t is remarkable how
happily the marriages turn out, for
divorces are few and the wife is a
help to her husband in whatever walk
of life they may live She is some
what of a gossip, but she makes a de-
voted mother, and her FANNY is usual
ly large one. In the smaller towns
she assists her husband in the shop
and makes an excellent saleswoman.
The Jew, as ! said before, is the mer-
chant and manufacturer of Russia
The greater part of wooden stuffs used
in Russia are from Jewish factories.
Cotton and linen stuff, glass, iron,
leather-in fact, the handling of any
line of goods for which there is a mar
ket comes under the Jews line of
work. He is the money lender too.
of the land, and makes his money by
doing business with the poorer class.
The Russian aristocracy need not APP
ply to him unless they are willing to
leave valuable jewelry and plate as Sc
curity. Nicholas the Second is liberal
with his ukases, and he is likely at
any time to order the members of the
aristocracy to repudiate all debts to
Jews that bear interest higher than
1-2 cents. So the Jew money lender
does not care for aristocratic client
age.
Military service is irksome to the
Jew, but serve he must or pay con
tinual hush money" However, $4,000
of this race died in the defense of
Russia while that country was at war
with Japan and as many more were
wounded. A soldiers pay is too small
to attract a Jew, and Russia has
done little to foster the patriotic spir-
it within him. If he goes into the
army, however you will find him a
private secretary to some officer, or
drawing plans and making maps. He
is more useful to Russia here than
the Russian, because he is better ed
ucated. Here, too, he is ill-treated
because he will be required to do eX-
ira work for the officers whose petty
meanness crops out when he offers
the Jewish soldier a piece of pork in
payment for the work when he knows
full well that the Jew will not &C
cept. The Jewish soldier really eats
no army food, and usually manages
to get his meals at the home of a
Jew.

The Cossack, that splendid specimen
of mankind, who comes from the eau
casus away over in the Ural Noun,
tains to serve the Gar, is generally
on hand and does the main part Of
the terrible work. To him the Jew is
the same as a mad dog, and is treat
ed with less consideration than a
dangerous animal. Russia keeps a
regiment of these neil in Warsaw and
sends the Polish soldiers to some 9th
err quarter of the empire.
The more one studies the surround
ings of the Russian Jews, their few
liberties and their ostracism the more
one is impressed with the remarkable
character of this race, which has pre-
served it's wonderful individuality in
the face of all the disasters they have
passed through during the last nine
teen hundred years-a nation without
a country scattered over the four
quarters of the globe, yet preserving
the distinctive qualities of nation
which has produced some of the great
est men in all the walks of life.
There is no better place to study Jew
ish life than in the Pardoll district OF
Kief or in Warsaw In both these
places one may study the thriftiness
of the Jewish trader, how he sells at
large profits if he can, at small ones
if he must, but sell he will. His dick
ering with customers and his caJollng
methods are far more in evidence
there than they are in this country
Barking" is the fashion, and the Vlsl-
tor who strays into the market at
Pardoll will have to make purchase
or fight his way out. The jewish
market in Warsaw is remarkable, too
for it is always crowded and is
yeritable beehive of activity. 1t was
here during December, 1881, that the
"pogrom" began, and today the Rus
sian will tell you that it is faVorlte
place for Jew sticking" as the muir
der of a Jew is called in the Russian
Empire. Somehow, the year 1888
seems to have been black one lol
the Jews there, although 1t was the
first year of the gentle system in
augurated by M. Pobiedonosteff. M
fewer than 1877 towns and village
witnessed these scenes OF saVager.
which would seem Impossible In tn
nineteenth century. Scores of Jewisl
women were dishonored, hundreds o
men women and children were slaugf
tered and thousands made homeless
Yet the Jew continues to live and, i
many instances, get rich in this awfu
country.
The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1910-07-21

In Odessa, where the business is
practically in the hands of Jews, a
Russian was questioned about the
race there. "They are a dangerous
people, he said, with a mysterious
air. You may beat Jew, you may
burn his house, you may kill his fam
lily, yet he will get on. To be sure,
he will whine and wall for a while;
then he will look out for business. Why
during the riots in Odessa one who
kept cigar store was literally cleaned
out, his family was killed, and he him
self was badly wounded, but somehow
he managed to save a few packages
of cigarettes, and when the riot was
over he appeared on the ruins of his
home Offering the cigarettes for sale,
and soon he had a lille stand and
day he is the proprietor of one of
the largest cigar stores in Odessa.
This simply illustrates their energy,
and if Russia does not once in while
let them feel her power and keep in
check their rapacity they would prac-
tically own the land. You Ameri-
cans, / know, condemn our actions,
but you do not understand the situa-
ton, but you will if our Jews keep on
going to America" Again and again
the antagonism toward the Jews abil-
ity crops out.
There is a class of Jews in Russia
who to further their business interests
have joined the Russian Church.
These people are ostracized by Rus
sian as we'll as Jew, and their money
brings them little pleasure.
Russia is a Jew country, for of the
100000 of Jews who inhabit the
world over half are in the Cars do,
main, not from choice, but because the
annexation of Poland made them sub
jects of the Little Father" During
the Middle Ages Poland was the land
of refuge for the Hebrew race. Ac
cording to the laws of the land the
Jewish subjects must live within the
Pale" which comprises Poland ano
10 of the adjoining provinces. A limit
ed number, however, are permitted tc
live outside the "Pale"-merchants
who belong to the Guild and who pay
about $3.50 for that privilege This
would not be an eXorbitant tax were i
