This is the statement of a leading New York theatrical manager.

Dear Elsa-Do you recall that a few
years ago ON genius, presumably
several centuries ahead of the rest of
us, proposed co-onerative housekeeping
on a colossal plan? This man-yes, it
was a man who made the suggestion
wanted to divide the residents of a
city or a town into large groups, the
members of each group to live in
houses clustered together, with a big
kitchen, dining room and laundry in
the center. Each family was to share
pro rata in the expenses, and all were
to eat In the common dining room,
family tables being provided. All the
laundry work was to be done In the
group laundry. The homework In
each home was to be performed by
maids hired by the group. and a SINH
lar plan WAS to be followed in kitchen,
dining room and laundry.
That scheme looked rosy In some re-
spects, but most opaquely dark In
others. Provision for toning down the

were not outlined by the towering
genius who pleaded for cooperative
housekeeping on this plan. He ap-
parently did not take into considera-
ton that little Willie. hopeful offspring
of the J~ohnsons, usually bawied ten
minutes at table because his mamma
refused to let him have q second trf
angle Of minee pie on the ground that
an excess of that Wand was not good
for his stomach.
The genius also failed to recognize
the fact that the table Of the
Unison household were not calculated
to please the more particular neigh
bors at the next table, though perhaps
Mr.. Jlmson's method of swallowing
his case knife and tucking his napkin
three inches down his shirt collar
might amuse them at first. Many
other points of divergence between
this family were similarly overlooked,
such as the determination Of Mrs.
jackson that her rooms be tidied at
a certain hour each morning and the
insistence of Mr.. Jackson that he have
his coffee and rolls solved in his bed
room while he read the market re-
ports in his morning paper.

Judge suIzberger Laughs at Scheme.
Judge Mayer Sulzberger said that
he knew nothing of the movement and
considered it entirely visionary. He
said that from time to time for many
years past schemes for a memorial
to Solomon have been raised, but that
all have come to naught. The debt,
he said, is entirely worthless from a
legal standpoint, and the moral obi
cation could be entirely wiped out
to the entire satisfaction of the Salo-
mon heirs by spending probably $685.
600 for an appropriate statute to the
financier who helped his country in
time of need.
Judge Sulzberger added that the
idea of getting $l6O,OOO,OOO from the
government could not be entertained
with seriousness by any but a
dreamer.

JUDGE SULZBERGER DEN0UNCES
REPORT.

Judge Mayer Sulzberger, president
of the American Jewish Committee,
writes that in his opinion the news
is piece of Russian duplicity. He
says:
There is no good ground for be-
lieving that Russia has made any con-
cession to the United States on the
passport question. Germany, France
and England have for years had the
privileges which are now said to be
granted to our country. The disCrimi-
nation against our country has been
openly and VIGOROUSLY offensive and
insulting. To tell us now that with
our full treaty rights they are going
to give us what other nations have en-
joyed under less favorable treaties, is
to give us no boon.
But there is no official authority
for stating that Russia has done even
so much.
II look upon the whole matter as
a piece of Russian duplicity, which in
their language is called diplomacy.
Its object is to influence congress to
delay action on the Sulzer and Culber-
son resolutions to repeal the treaty OF
1882 by feeding it on empty promises
Of the kind that have been freely given
for decades
I'm my opinion there is nothing in
the whole matter that should cause
us for an instant to relax our efforts
to wipe from American diplomacy the
stain that Russia's insolence and Gym
icism have put upon it. Moreover, all
our friends in every state of the union
should continue their endeavors to
agitate for treaty repeal, The eXecu'
tive department would not, it seems,
feel itself at liberty to act in this
direction without the express assent
and direction of the congress. To OBJ
tain that we must agitate, agitate, agi-
tate, for one year, or for five years, or
for twenty years if necessary. The

PRUss1AN JEWS Make A PROTEST

A dispatch from Berlin says that
German-Jewish organizations have I'M
dertaken a campaign against the I'M
written military law prohibiting Jews
from becoming officers in the Prus-
sian army is interesting A resolution,
unanimously adopted by two leading
Jewish organizations, the Union of
German Jews and the Central Associa-
ton of German Citizens of Jewish
Faith, at a meeting at Frankfort-on-
Main reads:
Contrary to the custom of all other
civilized States, soldiers of the Jewish
faith in the Prussian army are at dis
advantage in the matter of promotion
as compared to Christians and the
Christian sons of Jewish parents The
assembly protests against this condi-
ton as unconstitutional and illegal,
and expresses the hope that the com
petent authorities will succeed in ahol-
ishing this shameful and oppressive
injustice and in bringing about the full
tillment of the law"
Though considerable inroads already
have been made on the traditional
view, which regarded the higher posts
in the army and the commissions in
the better regiments as the preroga-
tive of the German nobility, immed!-
ate favorable action on the resolution
above set forth is not regarded prob
able.

In the new constitution of Alsace-
Lorraine which is now being com
pleted by delegates of both PROVINCES
under the supervision of the German
government, clause has been intro
duced by which Jewish rabbi will
be given a seat in the provincial SEN
ate. This clause has already received
the sanction of the German govern
ment, so that the Jewish religion will
now be fully recognized in these prov
inces, in the same way as the Catholic
and Protestant religions are.

RABBI C0HEN's COMMENTS.

The comment of Rabbi Henry Cohen
of Galveston in regard to the Associ
ated Press dispatch concerning the &C
ton of Colonel Joseph Garrard, U. S.
A., in the case of Private Frank A.
Bloom, is as follows;
"Mr. Taft has no patience with mar
row-minded prejudice; he is fair
man, and considers that ones religion
is the private affair of the individual.
He, like all sensible men, believes that
people should be judged according to
their personal worth, and not accord
ing to religious label. Like his
predecessor in office, the president
honors the deserving man, be he Cath
Ollie, Protestant or Jew. To discrimi-
nate against a citizen because of his
religion betrays the utmost ignorance
and puts the sycophant upon the same
plane as that European aristocracy
that argues that church and state are
one and the same thing. In free amer
ity brings it's own punishment, as Col
onel Garrard will realize to his cost.
There is nothing against the char
acter of Joseph Bloom but that he is
Jew! Confederate history says that
Frauenthal, the nero of the Acute
Bloody Angle of Spotsylvania, was a
Jew, and General Forsythe tells us
that Shless4nger, the wonder of the
Arickaree Fort, was Jew, to say
nothing of Commodore Levy of the
navy. In our own day Rear Admiral
Mark and Colonel Loucheimer are Is
raelites, and their religion or race is
no detriment to their patriotism.
From Joshua, the general Of the
Old Testament, through the Maccabean
wars, through the siege of Jerusalem,
through the middle ages, in every
country in which Jew could WELD
sword or fire gun, he has fought
with the best. England, France, Ger
many and Russia, no less than the
United States, have been proud of
their Jewish soldiery. During the
revolutionary, Mexican and civil war
Israelites fought side by side with
comrades of other faiths, and split
their blood-enlisted men and officers
as freely.
Thanks to the times in which We
live, the Colonel Garrards are few. In
America, at least, there is no room for
such medieval narrowness as that
manifested in this incident-that a
man of efficient service and excellent
standing should be Disseminated
against by reason of his church affili-
alton. America honors the consistent
individual, and has just about as
