Practical Southern Philanthropy.

Practical Southern Philanthropy
Southern papers are watching with in
terest an experiment on the part of a
Louisiana plantation owner, who has
divided his estate into small farms and
presented one to each Of thirty negroes
former slaves of his father. For each
Of these he also builds house, and he
will stock the farms with all the nee
essary animals and implements. But
there Is one condition, and it goes to
the root fthe south's greatest stumbl-
ing block, namely debt. Those accept
ing the generous gift must do so with
tn understanding that they will neevr

being made whereby each may obtain
money from the bank for raising his
crops and other expenses The credit
system in the south has kept. the small
farmer in poverty, in the condition of
an under dog, and at the mercy Of the
storekeeper, who charges exorbitant
prices, knowing that his customer can
not buy more cheaply, because ne has
not the cash to go elsewhere. In the
trading of produce, mainly cotton, for
supplies, the small farmer invariably
gets the worst of the bargain. Hence
the privilege of going to the bank and
borrowing at legal interest means actu-
al independence. 1t Is gratifying to OBJ
serve that one planter has taken

working, but dependent men to avail
themselves of one Of the blessings of
independency. There is a lesson here

years when Prof. Bell, head Of a school

vice for transmission Of the sound Of

no electric lights, electric cars or any

automobiles, no motion-picture shows,

ZIONIST CAUSE ADVANCING
100000 Contributed Toward Jewish
IInixarsitx in IarusaIenn.

100000 Contributed Toward Jewish
University in Jerusalem.
Louis Lipsky, chairman Of the exc
cutive committee Of the Federation Of
American Zionists, who was head Of
the American delegation to the Elev-
enth International Zionist congress,
held in Vienna, told yesterday Of the
many things accomplished by the con-
gress, and Of the great progress which
was being made by the Zionist haeve-.
ment Mr.; Lipsky returned from Eu-
rope on Saturday on the Philadelphia.
The congress, he said, was by far the
most successful ever held. 1t was at
tended by 500 delegates from all parts
of the world, thirty five Of whom came
from this country.
1.-The Zionists," Mr.. Lipsky said,
ARE now working in Palestine with
the undoubted approval Of the Otto
man government. The congress de-
cided to establish Jewish national
university in Jerusalem, and 100000
has been contributed to an endowment
fund for this institution.
The Zionist organization had a cap
ital Of s2,500,OO0, Mr.. Lipsky said,
which to large extent was invested
in colonizing and educational enter
prises in Palestine. The Jewish ma
tional fund, which was used to extend
the territorial possessions Of the Or
ganization, had an annual income Of
about $150,000 he asserted, sixty-five
per cent Of which was invested In land
holdings. The total income Of all
Zionist corporations, exclusive Of the
capital Of private associations, was es-
timated at about $500.000. The total
membership Of the Zionist organiza-
tion was 10000. an increase of rs per
cent, in the last two years.
Mr.. Lipsky said that conditions had
made 1t necessary to establish Jew
ish national university. This institu-
ton, he said, would give instruction
in all sciences in Hebrew, and the
FACULTY would De selected from men
of the Jewish race who had at
tanned scientific eminence in Europe.
1.-The motives" he said, ''in attempt
ing this interesting experiment are va
rious. AS is well known, Jewish stu
dents In Russia and Rumania are ex-
cluded from the institutions Of higher
learning in their own countries. Ger
many and Switzerland have adopted a
policy of exclusion. A national uni
versity in Palestine will provide these
young men with what they need, and
at the same time give them their hope
of creating in Palestine a national cul-
ture center which shall radiate its in
fiuence upon Jews in all lands. New

WAR AND BUSINESS
Strife Causes Stimulation Followed by
Reaction.


What would war with Mexico do
to American security prices? At first
such a calamity would put them down,
but later on prices would very likely
rise to high level. Still later there
would be another great depression.
Such at least is precedent.
After the Civil war had been In pro-
gress three years the leading northern
railroad stocks had more than trebled
in value. Later on, or after the war
was over, a big decline occurred.
Pennsylvania railroad shares, as an
example, were 7 or per cent higher
while the battle of Gettysburg was be-
ing fought than they are today. The
labor riots in Pittsburg, a dozen years
after AppomattoX, reduced Pennsylva-
MIA stock to it's lowest point on record,
about s27 a share, compared with more
than $50 when Lee was invading Penn
sylvania.
The stimulant of a war on all kinds
of business means larger railroad traf-
fic and increased earnings. But, OF
course, there are other influences work.
ing adversely which are felt more
slowly but just as surely. England has
not yet fully recovered from the billion
of dollars expended on the Boer war,
and the land acquired by conquest In
South Africa has not repaid the debt
so far as monetary return is involved.
When Sumter was fired upon the
value Of southern property was placed
at four and one half billion dollars
When Lee surrendered the value had
been reduced to two billions. That In
cluded, however. the property repre-
sented by 100000 slaves.
War in the long run is destroyer OF
values and not creator Of values,
While the temporary stimulant may
advance prices, war is like borrowing
money from a bank-it must be paid
back some time.-Philadelphia Ledger

A Transformation.

81 am told that thirty-three years
ago, when the centennial Of the Kings
Mountain battle was celebrated, there
were forty-five distilleries in one
county adjoining this, and that today
there is in that county not one distil-
lery and there are sixty-three cotton
mills"
All such moral victories, said the
speaker, have been won because there
have been heroic spirits who dared to
stand for the right, and without stop
ping to consider how many would
stand with them.
You will pardon me If 1 congratu-
late you on having in this district the
representative who gave his narne 10
the bill that marks a moral revolution
in this country. I came mighty near
getting left on that question. / was
thirty three years ahead of the tariff
bill of this week. / was twenty-five
years ahead of the money question,
and last night when I read the presi-
dents promise to the Filipinos Of ul-
innate independence, it carried me
back fifteen years to the beginning Of
that fight. But If had waited three
years later Webb would have beat me
out on this other. 1t was three years
ago that l began advocating such a
measure in my paper. contended that
If the state can be trusted to enact a
law which can take a human life,
surely it can be trusted to regulate the
liquor traffic; it isn't more sacred
than everything else"
The speaker called attention to the
changed point of view, giving an in
stance of watered steel stocks by
which s7OO,OOO,OOO was earned on mo-
ney never invested. when you con-
slider these things you'll understand
how proud you and l ought to be OF
