JEWISH CONGRESS ORGANIZATION.
St. Paul Division.

On Monday evening, March 9th, 1916,
the second meeting of the ST Paul Jew
ish Congress Organization was held at
the Minnehaha Hall, 100 West Ninth
street. After the adoption of bylaws to
govern the conduct of the local organi-
zation, the following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: Jesse B. Calmen-
son, president; Rabbi A. II. Kahn, vice
president; Mrs. Henry WELLER, secretary;
Gustavus Loevinger, treasurer. Rabbi 1.
l.. Rypins, Joseph Golden and Alex Sill
yer were chosen to act as an executive
committee together with the officers. Gus
tavus Loevinger and Abe NJ. Calmenson
were elected delegates to represent ST.
Paul at the conference at Philadelphia
March Goth and 9th. The preliminary
conference will be a very important gath
ering, perhaps almost as important as the
Congress itself will be, in view of the fact
that the purpose Of the conference is to
set the date of the Congress and to out
line its program, as well as to determine
upon the mode of election of delegates
to the Congress.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
MINNEAPOLIS CONGRESS
CONFERENCE
BY Hymen z. Mendow

held it's second meeting in the Talmud
Torah Hall last Sunday evening for the
purpose of eecting delegates to the Pre-
liminary Congress Conference to be held at
Philadelphia March Goth and 9th. Twelve
of the original forty-two organizations
represented withdrew their delegations,
and ten were absent. DR.. George Gordon
presided, and communications from the
Central Committee were read.
Minneapolis, according to the rules
adopted by the central body is entitled to
two delegates; the rule being that all cit
les having a Jewish population of from
five to fifteen thousand may have two
delegates. Each organization represented
in the Minneapolis Conference will be re
quired to pay two and one-half dollars for
each delegate seated. The sum Of money
thus raised will be divided equally to
pay the expense of the delegates and to
defray the propaganda expense Of the
General Committee. At the meeting on
Sunday evening there was pledged one
hundred and ten dollars. 1t was also
agreed that standing ways and means
committee secure the means of defray-
ing all deficiencies in the matter of cx-
pense and propaganda.
The Conference, by a large vote, elect
ed as delegates, DR.. S. N. Deinard and
Mr. R. Hirshenson and elected as alter
mates Mr.. Hymen z. Mendow and Mr.
Rubenstein. The members of the commit
tee on ways and means are: Mr.. Gottleib,
Mr.. Zipperman, Mr.. Rubenstein, Mr.
Ebin and Mr.. Mendow. 1t was also deter
hot oommtfoo itrfa
permanent propaganda committee. 1t will
be the duty of this standing committee to
arrange mass meetings for the discussion
Of the Congress question. resolution
was adopted to hold mass meeting on
Monday evening, March Goth, at the Ke
nesetth Isreal at which time all the rab-
bis in the city will discuss the Philadel
phia meeting.
A great deal of friction was avoided at
the last meeting by the withdrawal Of the
faction that is affiliated with the Ma
tionale Arbeiter Committee. At the meet
ing of the Congress Committee on We'd
nesday evening Of last week, all those af
fliated withdrew unoffcially and individ-
ually, and at the meeting of the confer
ence on Sunday evening the withdrawal
VI UHc Twelve vi was IHduc VI
fetal Speakers from the withdrawing
faction were given the floor to explain
their move and it developed that those
affiliated with the Rationale Arbeiter
Committee were ordered to withdraw be-
cause Of the open platform adopted by
the local conference The point made by
them is that their central body requires
instructed delegates committed to the
platform adopted by it. This organiza-
ton desires a postponement Of the Con-
crosses until after the close Of hostlities
in Europe and to an elimination from dis
cussion of the Paestinian and Zionistic
questions.
The withdrawal leaves the Minneapolis
Congress Committee, consisting of the
following: President, R. Hirshenson; sec

possible and became prettier each week.
When she accompanied me to places where
others were congregated people looked at

cious Of what treasure l had constantly
with me.
And then the blessed day came when

Lily in an institute for the Hebrew educa-

was but little time for the train. A shake
of the hand and l was off-but as | turned

the distance. | gulped hard and went on.
The town | came to seemed dreadfully
dull to me. My friend did his best in hos
pitality; l labored in behalf of the school,
and found my new pupils and their parents
and most of my correspondence was ad-
dressed to Lily!
But such short and desultory answers!
Each week would bring me missive like
this one:
'My dear teacher:
81 am so sorry that you are lonesome
over there. l am glad, though, your work
is progressing so nicely. There is so much
to do that | really can t write more. The
school you sent me to is excellent-the
boys and girls are very nice, and my work
is going along splendidly.

months. Then one day l suddenly shook
my friend by the hand and started for

ever seemed so happy as this one to me-
Here was the house Of Lily. AS started
to enter, however, l caught sight of that
teacher who had formulated the early pre-
dictions concerning myself and my pupil.
She hailed me. "Lily' s not home!' size
cried, without even thinking of a greeting.
"She s gone to her Hebrew school''
I seized her hands eagerly. "Tell me,
how is she? Is she we'll in her studies?
Does she look the same as she used to?
Tell mel
The answer was smiling onc 'Oh,
Lily is the most popular girl in the school.

I bolted. I did not wait even to raise
my hat l ran furiously to Lily's school.
And 1 found her-praise God!-alone in
a remote class room. With both arms out
stretched, l hurried toward her, while she
was looking amazedly and half amusedly,

would be wanting to assist in
carrying him to the long and peace
ful rest-many would say-he SO
deserved. The fect is the little
weekly editor is the "whole thing"
while the editors of the big dailies
are only hundredth part of the
compined forces, the grey matter,
muscle, energy, determination and
intelligence it takes to send forth
a fifty or hundred page paper, and
when you come to average up the
big daily and the little weekly the
scales of justice are largely in favor

There is hardly man in Yalo-
busha County who is not anxious
for good roads. Isn't this Just
about the truth? If you are going
to have good roads you are going
to have them to pay for. You also
know this is true. You are not
going to get any conveniences
without the expenditure of money.
There is no way for road work to
do itself. The people must be on
the job. Now. the thing for you
to decide is, whether or not the
building of good roads is pay
ing investment. 1ou havn't got
to study your own personal inter
est all the way through, bat the
interest of your neighbor as we'll.
Good Public roads are not only
means of comfort and convenience,
but they are educational as we'll,
for they lift to higher ideals and
unsel6shness. A public road upon
which you have paid something,
may not help you directly, but
inasmuch as it has helped your
neighb Dor you are benefited in q
way indirectly, that more than
compensates you for your outlay.
Study the question for yourself in
a broad minded way.
The city itemizer. (Water Valley, Miss.) 1894-1918, 1916-03-16

You can be pretty independent
if your conscience is clear. Right.
eous conduct will give right.of way
to clear conscience. Take an in.
ventory of your conduct every day.

Just the other day when the de-
lightful zephrys, in their gentleness
we're tripping along at the speed of
about 40 miles an hour, it seemed
to US that we could smell the in
viting odors of jug Lake tangled
up with the atmosphere, lending
inspiration to hope-an inspiration
that thrilled, and thrilled, and
thrilled. AS we pass along the
street and note the rich spring

nett, S. .. Metcalf, L S. Houston,
J. L. Harris, J. Frank Carr, ct al,
who keep their fishing eye turned
hopeward, as by an enrapturing
dream we are caught up, and are
ready to proclaim, that the anti
dote to depression of spirit is
rapidly coming this way, and if
something don't happen pretty
soon the festive redworm is going
to be in danger. The heart, winter.
tanned, rushes out to meet the un-
folding beauties of spring-the
time when new life is teeming.
We must have good roads that we
may get somewhere.
The basic principle upon which to act
Should include fishing sack;
A can for bait, with bail secure,
And fishing tackle sure to lure.
Relieved of thought and business care
You can seek pure atmosphere;
Throw away your anxious whim,
And bait your hook and catch the briem,
Now, amt that going some? We
should say so! Roll back the
clouds, and take long, straight,
sweet look at the silver lining, you
ofice-ridden slave! Plum trees
are blooming and dogwood is not
far behind! Who invented work,

News Papers.

The good and not so good Mis-
ssissippi papers. The mot so good"
does not exist and every Missis-
sippi editor deserves more credit
than he receives for the paper he

most Insignificant weekly in the
State. Take citizen of Mtssis-

Chicago, New York or elsewhere,
and let him get a copy of his in
significant little county paper from
home and he will drop or Jay aside
the largest daily in the world and
proceed to attentively REID every
item in his insignificant little
paper. Ask him which he appre-

home town paper for dozen
copies of the largest city daily.
The editor of the insignificant
county paper probably deserves
more credit for his production
than the editors of the more i'm
portant papers, when you consider
the environments, the field the
little paper has to cover, its sources
of information end the energy,
determination, intelligence, execu,
tive ability, and mechanical inge-
nuity required to edit, compose,

When we come to think this over
the weekly newspaper editor and
publisher never gets his just reward
on this earth-he may hereafter.
Then in the majority of cases
the little weekly editor must be an
