COLONIAL VIRGINIA.

In no part of the world were social
distinctions more rigdly defined than
In colonial 'irglna. The founders of
that colony stepped from the brilliant
court of Elizabeth into the forests ut
Virginia. The lord proprietor trans.
ported to his estate n LITTLE army of
gentlemen and indcnturcd servants.
and aftcrwnrd came the negro slave.
Each formed a class apart from the
others, and almost at once there was
created Il quasi systcm of arislocracy.
The proprietor obligated himself to
protect his tenants from The Indians.
They in turn agreed to follow him 10

cd by William the Conqucror for the
military defense of his realm. His en-
vironment naturally bred certain hab-
its of command, fostered capacity for
directing the efforts of others and i'm
posed II sense Of responsibility upon
the planter for the lives that were In
his keeping.
Above ull else the planter jealousy
guarded his rights as an English free.

But he reserved the right TO renounco

years.
Many OF the speeches in the play,

reuTaxks he has heard here and there
and has 5otted down for future use.
~He and Baron Hirsch. you know,
worked on the idea. for many years that
the Jew was not to be mingled with the
Gentle races. The experience OF the
Hebrew people from Moses time It'll
the American republic was born seemed
10 prove to them that there was no
likelihood of the Jew ever being ANAL
ranated with any other race-for the
4eeiIent reason that the Jew. did not
vAnt to analgamate and the Gentle
made and kept the Jew pariah. So
there came the Zion movement, and the

Jerusalem where the Hebrews might

In. this marriage with Miss Ayrton,

what many are pleased to term the
