MR. 4 AND B

~
This paper has persistently
charged Mr.. John CT. Grant with
making promises to the ear and
breaking them to The hope It has
shown that he feigns undying de-
votion to the people while among
hems but does the bidding of the
big bosses when in Washington.
Republican speakers and their
organs have just as persistently
denied these charges and acclaim
ed, with emphasis, that he is one
of the common people and stands
for their interests. We are print
ing today a letter given to the
press by Mr.. E. T. Adams, which
appeared IN the Asheville CORE
spondence of the Raleigh News
and Observer on Tuesday, that
hits Mr.. Grant about the hardest
jolt he has yet received and fully
sustains the correctness of our
position. Mr.. Grant was already
beaten and the Adams letter will
contribute no little In making the
majority overwhelming. It is a
solar-plexus blow from which he
cannot recover.
That conversation he had with
Mr.. Adams at Hotel Dickey
sounds so much like Nh. Grant.
He is long on promises, but
mighty short on performance. It
will be recalled that after the re-
suit of the election two years ago
became known Mr.. Grant made a
number Of jolliication' speeches
and in each one invited every
body, democrats and republicans,
except the editor of this paper,
to stop at Johns house when In
Washington, but Mr.. Adams says
when the test came our John twas
found wanting" He actually
confesses that during a sojourn
of four months at the National
capital the committee represent
ing labor was scarcely favored
with so much as a friendly look
from Mr.. Grant. How great
must have been the disappoint-
ment, after that conversation at
Hotel Dickey and those pressing
invitations to visit Johns house.
1t is little wonder that Mr..
Adams regrets having supported
MIGRANT in 1908 and vows ale
glance to the democratic candi-
date this time. He has plenty of.
company.

MIR. SHERMAN AND PROTEC.
TION.

Vice President Sherman In his
Asheville speech cited present
prices for farm products and al
legged high wages in an attempt to
show the republicans claim of
beneficial results of pFoteetions-to
the farmer and wage Garner. This
sounds very strange coming from
a rank stand-patter In the face of
the declaration In the republican
campaign book that the tariff is
not responsible for either high
prices or the increased cost of
living. And this denial in the
campaign text book comes from
the faction in Mr.. Sherman s
party-to which he processes ale
glance. and undertakes to defend
In his speeches over the country.
The vice president must have
been laboring under the delusion
that he was speaking to people
who were not converSant with
these facts and considered it le-
gitimate to take advantage of
their ignorance. In this conclu-
sion he erred. The people are In
vestigating conditions for them
selves this year, hence the ndi-
cations of a sweeping democratic
victory from Maine to California.
1t will be remembered that a
congressional investigating COM
mittee, to inquire into the increas-
ed cost Of living was appointed at
the last session of congress. The
masses Of people throughout the
country had fallen into such des-
perate straits, under the opera
ton of administration policies,
that their mutterings frightened
the republican leaders to the
point of desperation. Realizing
that some show of recognition
must be made the stand paters
finally consented to the appoi,
ment of a committee for the Dur-
pose stated. The committee was
composed largely of republicans
who wanted to hold back any re-
port until after the election but
the democratic members tried to
force them to a "shoW down.
by making public their findings.
They reported that "the tariff
law. is responsible for the increase
of prices on articles and products
which were highly protected, and
that Therefore, the tariff is re-
sponsible very largely for the high
cost of living" OF. course the
republican members of the com
mittee, being forced into making
a declaration of some description,
made up a report "acquitting the

THE n DEMOCRATIC.

tAN
The New York Herald predicts
the election of nine democrats to
congress in North Carolina this
year. It places only the Eighth
district in the doubtful list, in its
forecast for this state. The Her
AIDS estimate is always antici-
pated with interest, for its pre-
election figures are almost al
ways correct. since 1860, this
metropolitan newspaper has prior
to each election been making
careful observations of political
candidates and its forecasts have
come to be regarded as signifi-
cant. We have for months re-
garded the Tenth district reason
ably safe for tie democratic nom
inee and recent developments
strengthen this belief. J. NJ.
Gudger, Jr., did not enter the
contest with any idea Of being de-
feated and e the members of his
party continue to give him their
active and loyal support, until
sunset on election day, he will
be elected by a handsome major
ity.
We haze never opposed Mr..
Grant, OF any other republican,
for personal reasons, but because
we prize principle above men.
The RECORD of the republican
party proves conclusively that its
Isympsthies are with the special
interests, rather than the labor
ing passes and Mr.. Grant s -treat-
meDt of the representatives of la
boz during the last session of con-
gess clearly indicates that he is
Completely dominated by infu-
that do not regard the in
terests Of the people generally.
He has been weighed In the bal
ances and found wanting and
must be displaced by a man who
will stand for the same policies In
Washington that he does in North
Carolina. And Mr.. Gudger is
that man. 1t is little wonder that
many independent voters,-and
some few democrats-who sup
ported Mr.. Grant two years ago,
are ia open revolt this time. The
New York Herald has reached its
conclusions after careful investi-
CATION and sizes up the situation
correctly.
The Herald goes on to say the
democrats will elect 1914 members
to the next house as against TIA In
the present house; that the re-
publicans viii elect 157 as against
217 they have at the present time,
and places forty districts in the
doubtful column. This means a
democratic majority IN the next
congress and it is of the utmost
Importance that the Tenth North
Carolina district shall be repre-
scented by a democrat. Condi-
tons In the Eighth district, which
is classed as doubtful by the
Herald, are daily growing more
favorable for the democrats and
indications point to the election
of ten democratic congressman in
fhe Old North State this year.

In an interview with the
Asheville Citizen on Oct. 4th,
Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, repub-
1ican, retired United States
Forester expressed surprise
when told that this congress
sional district is represented
by a reactionary, a man who
boasts that he is a disciple of
Cannon, and intimated that
it was much better to have a
democrat than such a one.
Even though this district
may be so represented, Mr..
Pinchot stated that very
much to his qualification, a
strong sentiment for the pro-
gressives is growing in the
South as a whole.

aspirations of Zionism. - s. -
These few words, spoken by one
of the most important members Of the
Young Turks Committee, are of great
significance. There is no doubt that
Talaat Bey made the statement on
behalf of his party, the majority of
the members of Parliament
All this, however, does not prevent
the Zionists from continuing their pro-
paganda in the Metropolis. They pub
lish here three weekly papers-"L'Au-
rore,' in French; lei judo" in Span
ish. and "Hamvaser,+ in Hebrew. Be,
sides, the daily paper, "Jeune Turk"
published in the interest of the Otto
man Fatherland," and edited by Gel
lal Nauri is also Zionist publica-
ton. 1t must be confessed that all
these papers have at present very lit
tie influence. They make a noise,
ism has not as yet penetrated Off
cial circles it is because the Young
Turks have their own affairs to look
to.
But it is certain that the govern
ment is watching all that is going on
in the Zionist camp. Recently fiery
discussion arose between the local
Zionist organs and the "Tiempo, an
Influential Spanish-Jewish paper
which stands in close relationship
to the local community The editor
attacked Zionists and the movement
most bitterly in series of articles.
The Zionists replied in the same spir-
it and revealed the fact that the writ
er was for a long time in receipt OF
a monthly salary from the Zionist
fund to write favorably on Zionism,
and it was only when he was refused
an inrease of salary that he started
the campaign. Thus the fight increas-
ed in venom and ferocity.
The writer, M. David Fresco, had
all his articles translated into
French and published them in the
form of pamphlet. The Chacham
Bashi recently appealed to the four
Jewish Deputies in the Chamber to
call conference and decide what at

gether different position from the
members of other nationalities. In the
eyes of the government they do not
exist as separate nation, as for in
stance the Albanians, Macedonians or
Armenians, but as Ottoman citizens of
the Jewish religion In recent years
it became fashionable among Zion
lists to laud the Jews of Turkey as
noble example as the best type of
nationalist Jews. The new Hebrew
paper ''Hamvaser" made it's debut
with a song of praise of the national
istic prediction of the Ottoman Jews
Notwithstanding the equal rights
which they always enjoyed and the
great offices which many of them
desire to aslimilate with their neigh
bors. Therefore, great store was laid
in the hope of Zionism among the Jews
in Turkey. The premise. however,
is not true.
1t is not long since Zionists were
telling different story. The Sep
hardin in Turkey were considered a
trigidly CONCEALED mass without a
spark of Jewish idealism, or nation
al consciousness. The diagnosis was
true one. In no other country have
the Jews so easily assimilated as here.
The assimilation is tWofold In his
daily life, the Jew has assumed all
Turkish customs and amnners. His
children, who are educated by the al
ropean ideas derived from French lit
erature We have thus the curious
spectacle of the Turkish Jew being
either Turk or Frenchman. His
Jewishness lies in his religion. Ii,
therefore, there are Jewish questions
for the government to consider, they
are mainly of religious character, as
for instance the petition of the Cha
cham Bashi (Chief Rabb) for Kosh-
er Kitchen for Jewish soldiers. The
demand of the Greeks AID the Armen-
ians were of quite different nature.
The Jewish herald. (Houston, Tex.) 1908-1914, 1910-03-31


fused, just as they refused the request
of the Chief Rabi, fer the reason that
in no other land does such an in
stitution exist
The Jewish press in Europe and in
America made of it a Jewish ques-
ton, and saw in it reactionary step
ON the part of the Young Turks. They
even spoke of the bad impression this
refusal would make upon the Turkish
matter was without Importance. Our
people here cared very little one way
or another. 1t may therefore be as
sumed that there would never nave
been a Jewish question in Turkey
if it were not for Zionism.
1t is not secret that the young Turks
look with suspicion on the move
ment. The Jewish Deputies said so
distinctly in the interviews they gave
to the European press. During the
Chacham Bashi had occasion to ap-
proach the government on matter
which does directly affect his own
/ n
tons concerning the red tickets
which Jewish immigrants to Pales-
tine receive on landing, as an indi-
cation that they are not allowed to
stay more than three months in the
land. 1t is we'll known here that it
was due to external influence that
the Chief Rabi took up the SUBJECT.
Of interest, however, is the reply he
received from the Minister for Home
Affairs.
"The red ticket said Talaat Bey,
lis aimed against the immigration en-
masse to Palestine of foreign Jews
of Jews from Russia and Roumania.
Ottoman Jews are perfectly free to
come to Palestine, to buy land and
to settle there. The abolition of the
red ticket will serve as a signal for
a great stream of Jewish immigrants,
a thing undesirable. Palestine is too
small a country. Then there are the

For few years the growth OF the city
as indicated by the school population,
was uncertain, and did not begin to
show a steady gain until 1894 This Is
explained to some extent by the fact
that many men were here without their
families, El Paso still having an appear
ance of uncertainty to many OF those
seeking new homes and fortunes in the
southwest
Since 1894 the city has been growing
faster and more certainly, becoming q
city of homes as we'll as q favorable
business point, and the increase in the
net attendance on the public schools
has been as steady as the growth Of
the city, each year recording Il substan-
tial increase.
The private and parochial schools of
the city have shown the same rapid but
sure Increase in attendance all these
years. and the total attendance on the
schools of the city bears out the esti-
mated Increase of population made by
the directories since the census of 1900.
The school authorities OF the city
have found, after careful investigation,
that the erection OF the splendid Villas
school building will not relieve the
crowded condition of the public schools.
as 1t was expected to do, because OF
the more rapid increase in the attend
ance.
Increase of Nine Years.
1t Is found that the increase to be
cared for each year will be at least
percent, the average Of years. and that
this Increase must be compounded The
Increase in nine years has been 1918
to 524S, and a still larger percentage
Of Increase promised for the present
school year.
County Schools.
The county public schools OF lei Paso
county, outside Of the city, have kept
pace with the general advancement OF
the western part Of Texas, and show
steady increase of enrolment They are
carefully looked after by the county
