In this and other lands there have

REMARKABLE TRIBUTE
TO THE JEWISH RACE
Hon. George r. Weddings Pic:
ture of Remarkable People
PATIENT AND FAITHFUL RACE
They Have Been Leaders in Many
World Movements

WoIio movements
One of the most remarkable tri.
butes to the Jews ever written was
penned by George r. Vending,
January 81. 1899, when at the re-
quest OF the editor OF the New York
Herald the following was published
in that paper:
There is not a drop OF Jewish
blood in my veins. 1 am not con-
nected with the Jews by the mar
riage of any near or distant kins-
man. l owe no Jew a dollar and no
Jew owes me. Among all my per-
sonal or Intimate friends 1 cannot
name one single Jew. l speak,
therefore, from the vantage ground
OF absolute independence and im-
partiality
1t is a splendid race-splendid in
their patience, in their love for one
another, in their endurance, in their
sagacity and temperate habits, in
their intellectual resources, and
splendid in their inAexible adher-
ance to their. Mosaic ideals.
Do you want an arlstocracy OF
blood and birth? The Jews, then,
are the purest-blooded people and
have the best established descent in
the world. Neither did Mirabau in
the French Assembly, nor Patrick
Henry in the House of Burgesses,
nor did Sam Adams in old Colonial
days, ever say a more thrilling
thing than Disraeli said in the En-
glfSh Commons in reply to O'Con-
nell's charge that be was q Jew:
Yes, l am a Jewl And when the
ancestors OF the right honorable
gentleman were brutal savages in
an unknown island, mine were
priests in the templev'
DO you seek an aristocracy of tai
emit? The great church historian
Neander was Jew; Napoleon S
marshals, Soult and Massena, were
Jews; Gambetta was Jew; the bril-
liant and cynicafHeine was a Jew:
and-but the worlds roll of great
soldiers, authors, musicians, paint
ers, poets, philosophers, and finan-
ciers. contains more Hebrew names
than l could recite in many hours.
Are you looking for aristocracy OF
wealth? The combined financial
power of the Jew in Europe and
can prevent the floating OF
any national loan which may he put
upon the markets of the world.
1t is a spurious, false Christian
Ity that hates Jews. The mystery
Of the Incarnation found expression
in the flesh and blood of Jew, and
therefore. in sense. we worship a
Jew. We get our ten command
nents-the very foundation of our
civilization-through the Jews. We
sing Jewish psalms, we are uplifted
oy the passion and poetry of Jewish
prophets, and we rely on Jewish
biographies for the only history we
nave OF Christ. We get our Psuline
theology from Jew, and we catch
'ur earliest glimpse of the next
world through the ublime apocalyp-
ic vision of Jew. Then, forsooth,

A Thought for Teachers.

In a personal letter to Prof. J. F.
Messenger of the University of Yer
mont, not meant for publication, Mr..
Frank E. Howe recently said: ST am
inclined to think that much of the dis
satisfaction among young people in
rural communities in Vermont may
be traced to the young girls who US
ually teach the district schools. These
girls are, in many cases dissatisfied
with their work and their pay,
know little or nothing about agricul-
tural life and in their dissatisfaction
and craving for more ambitious
things they educate the children in
their charge to the belief that theirs
is not satisfactory life
Prof. Messenger makes the follow
ing timely comments on this thought:
These words are very suggestive. A
large number of teachers are dis
satisfied with their lot and create
discomfort in their pupils. How
much is dissatisfaction necessary to
ambition? We do not wish any one
to be SO we'll content with his lot
that he does not wish to improve,
but Improvement is brought about
by building upon what we have and
not by grumbllng about the things
around us and showing distaste for
them. The desire to get up in any
field is commendable but the desire
to get out is disastrous. There is
too much desire to get out on the
part of teachers. If a teacher in a
country school or in a city grade
goes to her room in the morning
feeling ambitious to climb up in her
profession she will be in the right
spirit to enthuse her pupils, but ii
she goes to her room thinking, 81 wish
1 could get out of this old hole" she
will no doubt communicate some OF
her bad spirit to her pupils. This is
worth thinking about. Another
question is also worth thinking
about. The greatest cause of ba6
spirit is ineficiency. That person
who can do his work well usually
finds some joy in doing it. If &
teacher, or any other worker, is IN
happy, the best remedy is to learn tt
work better and much of the dis
satisfaction will disappear.

The mountain has labored and
brought forth mouse in the New
York senatorial contest, With the
democratic victory at the polls last
November came the democratic OPP
portunity to elect democratic
United States senator to succeed
Chauncey M. Depew. Edward M.
Shepard, man of recognized worth,
wasa candidate but Ex-Lieut. Gov.
w. F. Sheehan came out with the
backing of Boss Murphy of Tammany
Hall and on the first ballot, taken
January IT, received 81 votes, Mr..
Shepard 16, scattering democrats IL
and Chauncey M. Depew 10. Shee-
han could not hold his vote and
the battle of ballots continued until
last Friday when James A. O'Gor-
man, another Tammany Hall favo-
rite, was elected. Mr.. O'Gorman was
practically unknown to the outside
world previous to his election but it
is learned now that he has been
good enough politician to hold a
municipal judgeship in New York city
and then be elected a justice of SUI
preme court of New York at a sal
airy of $17,50O year. He declares
that he favors all the progressive
policies of his party and the direct
election of United States senators.
As Senator Depew did not favor this

the cause of popular election of sen
ators gains one more.

The democratic legislature of
Maine has scored one success any
way. 1t has adjourned after a 13
weeks session The republican leg
islatures of New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, and the democratic
of New York which began
business at the same time have not
adjourned yet. The other achieve
ment of the Maine democrats is the
destruction of the liquor laws of
the state. It has passed resolution
resubmitting the prohibitory amend
ment to the state constitution to the
people, repealed the Sturgis law,
abolished the liquor agency and re-
pealed the law giving the governor
the right to remove delinquent
county attorneys. In effect it seems
to have left the state without any
effective system of regulating the
liquor traffic in the hope of estab-
fishing a license system. 1t did pass
direct primary ana corrupt prac-
tees act but aside from this did not
appear to be any more effective a law
making body than it's predecessors.

TelephonA Comnetitfon.

1t is a remarkably interesting and
remarkably clever annual report that
Theodore N. Vail, president, acting
for the directors has furnished the
stockholders of the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph company. 1t is
remarkable in that it tells a story of
remarkable growth. 1t is clever in
that it bows gracefully to regulation,
but shows by a skillful arrangement
of words and argument that competi-
ton in the telephone business is not
desirable from any point of view. The
report says: "Our policy in respect to
the opposition and Independent tele-
phone systems has been consistently
followed through the year. Where
ever it could be legally done and done
with the acquiescence of the public,

Not Quite Consistent.

Some of the Vermont advocates of
Canadian reciprocity are making
these claims. That the average wage
with board of farm laborers in Can
ada is higher than in the United
States, that the prices of farm pro-
ducts in Montreal are higher than in
New York City, that farms are more
valuable in Canada than in the
United States, that Canada has so
little to export that it can in no way
affect prices this side of the border
and that the tariff wall is really
from the best things. Having made
these statements and published t1g
ures to show they are correct will
these able writer's show us where the
reduced cost of living that we have
been promised with reciprocity will
be possible?
This reciprocity deal has been
shown to be so advantageous to us
that we are somewhat afraid of it.
Notwithstanding the cheaper living
are sure to come to us we are warned
that it may hurt some at first. About
the only thing we can be sure of is
that reciprocity would be a change
but there is such a. variety of ways
we are told the change would be be-
neficial that we doubt if its advocates
are just clear how it will really help
us

The legislature of Maine consider.

The legislature of Maine consider
ed 1000 bills, resolves and petitions
and passed 500 of them. 1t will be
generally conceded that 500 changes
in the state laws are about all the
people ought to expect at once, but
suppose Maine had had recall law
and recalled one man on each of the
500 propositions that failed. That
would have been changing some and
doubtless would have caused more
changes in the laws. The American
people seem to be more anxious to
get laws that work for a day than
to build an enduring and useful body
of law and letting it alone.
