Successful Jewish Colonies.
poth the Zionist movement and the
Jewish Colonization Society have es.
tablished colonies in various parts of
Palestine. Their contention that some
what of the ancient fertility and pros
perity of the land may be restored is
doubtless correct. Better government,
and better agricultural methods will
revoutionize conditions here, as else
where throughout Turkey. But thus
far there has been no conspicuous
success attending the purely agricul-
tural colonies. The Jew has been too
long away from the soil for that. In
the best Of the farm settlements, near
Jaffa, the colonists make use OF Arab
labor. Their own aptitude Is for
trade.

ians, are on a basis of self-support.

There are now about two-score OF

What BehaIsm Stands For.
A definition Of Behaism, which to an
unsentimental westerner seems rather
vague, is the hard thing to secure; so
l asked Abbas Effendi, frankly, to give
me categorical definition of the dis
tinctive doctrine of Beharism, some
thing with hooks to 1t, so that 1t will
grasp the ordinary man." This he pa
tiently and kindly did.
First. Behaism believes that all
men are brothers, and should so act.
Second. Behaism believes that
there should be no strife of religious
creeds. All are equal No man need
change his religion when he becomes
a Behaist, whether he Is a Moslem,
a Christian or Buddhist.
Third. There should be no war
between races or countries. There
should be international brotherhood
and international peace" Incident
ally, the retainer who had done the
interpreting, later told me that Alb
bas believes that there will be a great
war, and then worldwide peace. He
also advocates one language and one
form of writing.
Fourth. Behaism teaches its follow
ers to love everybody. In Persia there
are Jews, Moslems, Zoroastrians. Budd-
lists, Brahmins and Christians. who
meet in love and concord as Behaists.
1t removes fanaticism from all sects."
And l verify believe that Abbas Ef-
dendi practices his creed, for he Is a
gentle. kindly man; who, however, has
no conception whatever of the high in
exorableness of truth. Gen. Lew Wal
lace's aphorism: Better law with
out love, than love without law" would
not appeal to him. None the less, his
high, fine Ideals, embodying as they
do, the commonplaces Of Christianity,
are In consonance with the spirit Of
the age. and we may expect to see Be-
haism grow and prosper, especially
among sentimental persons. It's claim
TO be the final and universal religion
is scarcely tenable, since It has not
bones enough to stand the scalpels of
the scholars.

that nowhere in Palestine, outside of
exclusively Jewish colonies, are the
leading business men Jews. There is
more successful business enterprises
among Hebrews of any one Of hun
dred streets in New York than in all
of Palestine.
One reason for the bitter complaints
Of the Syrians at the presence of the
Jews is that the latter are not depen-
dent upon their labors for liveli-
hood, and are also able to exist on a
very low scale, and SO are able greatly
to undersell the natives In their little
shops.
Ghettoes In Jerusalem.
The crowding of the colonists into
ghettoes outside of Jerusalem Is an in
teresting example Of the force OF
habit. There Is no need here for over
crowded quarters; each family could
have it's own vine and fig tree by ex-
tending the Jewish quarter little
further outside the city. Generations
of congested living in the ghettoes of
Europe, together with the necessity
for crowding close together for mutual
protection, are hard to escape. So the
Holy Land today contains a state OF
affairs such as 1t never before wit
messed in its long history.
Nor are the Jewish quarters Of the
cities of Palestine such as would In
cline one to optimism concerning
Jewish state. Liberals, for example,
is predominantly Jewish, yet 1t Is one
of the dirtiest and least attractive
towns in all the land. This is not a
racial fact, but rather an illustration
of the statement that IL is the eccles-
iastically earnest, and the aged and
the sorely stricken, who have fed to
the haven of the Promised Land.
In Galilee I heard the lament that
the most ambitious of the young men
are leaving Palestine to go to Amer
lea, that other Promised Land of all
the world. The younger generation, |
was also told, have not the interest of

TRIP TO LISBON
ON next FRIDAY
FARGO COMMERCIAL CLUB CON-
MITTEE OUT THIS MORNING
AND AFTERNOON SECURING
NAMES or BUSINESS MEN WHO
WILL TAKE THE SPECIAL CARS.

All who expect to go to Lisbon on
Friday to attend the great corn Jubilee
there are requested to send their names
to Secretary Slime of the commercial
club, so that the necessary arrange
ments can be made for the cars, etc.
notwithstanding the very inclement
weather the commercial club commit
tee consisting of Secretary Slime, j.
p. Hardy and w. w. King, have been
out today securing pledges of those
who expect to attend.
The special cars Will be attached
to the regular train on the Northern
Pacific road on Friday morning of
this week, at $40, and the party will
return the same evening. 1t Is the
earnest hope that many will make the
trip, not only because the show Will
be one worth seeing, but because Lis
bon very generously has attended ev-
erything in the way of big times that
Fargo has undertaken to give.
The commercial club took the mat
ter UP several days ago and 1t was the
intention to make the trip with autos,
but the roads will o permit this and
the N. p. will furnish enough cars fof
the regular train. Ample accommoda-
tons have been made by the Hotel
Bradford at Lisbon for taking care OF
all who go there next Friday.
