hand, takes the change for granted.
pursues 1t, joys in it. Thus kindness
done the Christian by the Jew can have
no religious arriere pensee; while the
reverse operation is not always free
from subconscious suspicion. Two
Christian ministers who are now en-
gagged in saying kind things about Jews
cannot understand why they encounter
so much opposition from the very peo-
pie they say they are trying to serve.
But the answer is easy. Judaism is
not proselytizing religion Christian
ity is. The duty of one is to let others
alone; of the other, to- advocate
change. However, we may appraise the
two varying characteristics, the Jew
is freed from any egotistic suspicion
in coming to the relief of the religious
work of other sects, and the gift of
Mr.. Rosenwald becomes merely an at
tempt to make Christian work more
widely effective. Mr.. Rosenwald is
also interested in establishing the Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station and the
Hebrew Technical School, both in Pal
estine, so the range of his sympathies
is worldwide.

nathropists are not losing any sleep
over the rights he is losing. TO a
generous, kind-hearted man like Mr..
Rosenwald this appears to be quite UNI
just Even negro is entitled to
share in the surplus of "uplift" which
we are now blessed in this country,
and the big-hearted Chicago merchant
has simply pointed out to our neigh
bors a useful field for the spread of
their own institutions. Inded, Mr..
Rosenwald is above party lines, and
his attempt to secure adequate in

Chicago shows his mettle The Incl
dent brings out a difference between
the Jewish and non-Jewish attitude to-
ward religious matters that would
probably startle the Christian. No
Jew would take umbrage if Jew we're
to give thousands to Young Mems
Christian Associations, or even to
churches, to pursue their work, for the
Jew desires to see the Christian a
good Christian but one dollar given
for the purpose of making them into
Jews would raise howl. There is
nothing more disconcerting to Jew
than Christian who wishes to switch

THE GALVESTON IMMIGRANTS.


Two weeks ago, twenty immigrants
sent out by the immigration committee
of the ITO were ordered to be deport-
ed on the ground of Assisted Pass
age" An appeal was Immediately talk
en- to Washington and Secretary Nagel
rendered the following decision, which
is of the utmost interest, says the Jew
ish Comment;
December 81, 1910.
Cases numbered 531O5-13, IA, Is,
16, II, 10, 90, 2S, "a, 26, 81, 80, 80,
all present substantially the same
question. Taking these records with
out more, these aliens should prob
ably be admitted They are in fine
physical condition, nearly all of them
have trades, and there is every rea-
son to assume that they will find en-
ployment in the country to which they
are going.
while the records do not disclose
the fact, it Is nevertheless true that
those cases must be considered as a
part of the system which has been
inaugurated for the DETECTION of i'm
migration from Russia to the United
States. The inquiries which have
been made, both at the hearing had
on December ID and in other ways,
do not bear out the conclusion that
this immigration is assisted, or in
duced, or solicited in the proper sense
of the law. We have the unqualified
assurance that these immigrants are
not encouraged to come to this coun-
try, but that they are merely advised
to so to Galveston instead of New
York, after their decision to come to
this country is formed. Such activ-
ity is in keeping with the policy of
the Department, and so long as the
agency that has interested itself in
this immigration restricts Its efforts
to the purposes just indicated there
appears to be no objection.
1T is true that the immigrants in
these cases have arrived with very
small sums of money. But | am dis
posed to think that, considering their
physical conditions and the parts of
the country in which they propose to
live, their chances are at least as good
as they would be with larger sum
of money in New York. In addition
to that, the gentlemen who have in
terested themselves in this immigra-
ton agree to procure employment, so
that in all respects these aliens have
fairly met the conditions.
MY conclusion is that these aliens
ought to be admitted, and that so long
as the system is followed substantially
as has been represented, and condi-
tions otherwise remain the same, flu
ture cases may be passed upon in ac-
cordance with this rule These cases
have had considerable attention, be-

organization referred to is anxious to
have more or less clear understand
ing of the Bureaus future policy in
cases of this kind, but it is thought
unwise to make more of representa-
ton than is expressed in this memo
randum, 1t is never safe to make
promises in advance, and, further
more, it must be remembered that the
conditions which accompany such
system as is here in question may
very we'll be subject to important
changes.
THE mere advice to give one port
preference over another may very we'll
result in a general encouragement to
migrate The legitimate activities of
the organization may be supplemented
by other activities on the part of other
organizations or steamship companies
so as to bring the entire proceeding
within the inhibition of the law. The
Bureau, therefore, must reserve the
right to pass at any time upon the
significance of such changed condi-
tons.
~, h. To-
try to which these immigrants are di-
rected may change. Even at this
time reports upon labor conditions in
Texas and elsewhere are such as to
raise legitimate doubt about the or
ganization's ability to properly find
permanent employment for large
numbers of immigrants. If these
conditions should grow worse, or a
future investigation should disclose
that immigrants, received in the man
ner stated, are unable to permanently
sustain themselves, such facts, of
course would operate to modify the
position of the Bureau. At present
it is believed that the same immigrant
arriving at Galveston with little
money, but with the assuranc of as
sistance, might be passed, while if he
arrived in New York he would be re-
jected.
Finally, considerable Importance
has been given to the physical condi-
tion of the immigrants now arriving
at Galveston. This condition is so far
above the average of immigrants ar
irving at New York, that it would
not be matter of surprise to see the
standard deteriorate. Such a change
would also be an element to be con-
sidered in passing upon future cases.
However, so much is said only to
avoid misunderstanding, as far as pos
sible and to give as full information
of the Bureaus attitude as the situa-
ton seems to admit of.

BANCO MINERO
CASE PROCEEDS
The Governor of Chihuahua
Asks for Waiver of
Deputies Rights.

chihuahua, Mexico, July 31-At the
meeting Of the state legislature go4-
ernor Gonzalez asked that body 90 can
eel the right to exemption from arrest
of deputies Juan Creel ana Joaquin
Cortezar as well as unconstitutional

The request was made as a result OF
the confessions of the ex-police Off
Gals now under arrest in connection
with the Banco Minero robbery. The
confessions implioate ex-governor
Creel inasmuch as It Is reported he had
the men brought to his house and ex-
amined them contrary to law and f.
compelling them to answer questions
in such way as to make IT appear
that they were implicated OF had galltY

yet been concluded and q strong eff
fort IS being made TO secure evidence
through them that will directly fasten
the crime upon those guilty.

NEW YORK STOCKS

GAINS
Bethlehem Steel Rises and
United States Steel I'm
prives Greatly.

New York, July 31.-The stock mar
ket displayed a strong undertone
during the morning with the Bethle-
hem steel stocks making substantial
gains on rumors of an early resump
ton of dividends.
Reports of increased activity in the
steel industry and the rise in Ameri-
can securities in London had a tonic
effect on the whole market.
Bonds were irregular with the Amer
lean Tobacco issues heavy. Westing-
house Electric was sold rather freely
and lost over a point on selling, in
spired by disappointment over the out
come of the contest for control. The
market otherwise was higher, some
large purchases of United States Steel
sending it up to 1873.
The market closed steady. Trading
at most halted in the final hour with
no material change in prices.
