cratic and cooperative federation OF
nationalities, an idea which Mazzini
had formulated for Western Europe
half century before. Zionism asks,
in the light of it, the same freedom
for the Jewish people to realize its
national individuality as a people
that is demanded by all European
peoples for themselves Within
Jewry and without, it took it's stand
fatty upon the principles of democ
racy and nationality.
To do this meant to face the ener-
getic anathema of de- Judaized, anti
Jewish "Jewish' haute-fnance; to
accept the risk of the vengeance of
Russian bureaucracy devoted to
the policy of the classification" of
the Empire by making the Jews
scapegoats for the errors and misde-
meanors of the Government. Both
we're faced. The last suspicion of
philanthropism was abolished at the
sixth congress, in 1908, by the heroic
rejection, through the vote of the
very groups who might most have
benefited by acceptance, of the Brit
ish offer of territory in East Africa.
That vote declared the peoples un-
changeable will to place the legally
assured home of the Jews in Pales-
tine and nowhere else 1t alienated
the philanthropically minded, nota-
bly, Mr.. Zangwill, who, not being
democratic enough to accept the de-
cision of the majority, withdrew in
1905, one year after Herzl died, and
set up an organization of his own.
The split added to the difficulties
which the movement confronted.
Nevertheless, the work went on, in
Russia against overwhelming diff
culties; in the rest of the world
against the obstructionist tactics of
the wellto-do Jews; in Palestine it
self against the uncertainties of the
law of the land, the Responsibilities
OF OftlC1alS, the enm1t1eS OF ne1ghDOrS.
Particularly there was the delicate
task of teaching the Turks to under
stand that, since their Empire was
organized on the basis of nationali-
ties or millets (the term is religious,
but it implies nationalities in the
Turkish system), an accretion to the
Jewish millet in Palestine would
strengthen the hands of the Empire.
Little by little the movement made
headway. AS it's purposes became
better understood, it gained the uni
versal respect of the non-Jewish
world, and the adherence and SYM
pathy of Jews, particularly of the in

A HYMN OF ZION.

Zion, we love thee we'll ,
Fair land of Israel
For thee we long!
Thou art our hearts desire,
Our affairs holy fire,
The breath that stirs our lvre

Land which the Jordan laves
Land of the sacred graves,
For thee we weep!
Land where the Prophets trod,
Where Truth erst swayed the rod,
Where Psalmists sang of God,
Thy faith we keep!
Ihy dawn now fills Our eyes,
Thy hope now tints our skies
Our souls athril1
A shoot from Jesse's stem
Shall rule Jerusalem.

AT THE END OF
A PERFECT ROLL

When you come to the end Of a perfect
roll
And sit alone with your thought
And you see in bank but the empty
hole
That your two weeks trip has
wrought,
Do you think Of the "fycs" aad tens
you had
And wish for their sight once more
Do your vanished greenbacks leave
you sad
When you're glad vacations DER?
Well this is the end Of a perfect roll
At the end Of journey, too.
And II leaves thought that is big and
strong
For the coin that 50 quickly few
Now mem'ry has painted this perfect
roll
In colors that never fade.
And we find at the end that we need
that dough
For the bills We left unpaid.

HAVE you ONE OF THESE SITES

Several thousand inquiries having
been received at the Secretary of
States Office during the past few
months regarding various phases Of
the summer tourists business in Yer
mont, and the number of tourists vis-
iting this State in 1916 apparently
having larger than in any preceding
year, the time seems opportune TO de-
vote more attention to the advantages
Vermont offers as an ideal location for
sumer homes The three principal at
fractions which the State offers in this
respect are
Beauty and variety Of scenery.
Nearness to large centers Of popua-
tion.
Moderate prices for suitable sites.
In order to reach large number Of
persons who may desire to purchase
sites for summer homes, the State
Publicity Bureau proposes to publish
fer free distribution "A list of small
frams and cottage sites for sale, and
any person owning such property in
Vermont and desiring to sell the same
may secure the insertion of an adver-
tisement without charge in the pro-
posed book, by sending description
of the property to Guy w. Bailey,
Secretary Of State, Essex Junction,
Vt Where the site includes sufficient
land for a flower or vegetable garden,
or has available for use good spring
of water, such fact should be stated
together with nearness to roads and
to farms where supplies may be pur-
chased.
The most desirable sites usually are
those on the shore of lake or pond,
or locations on the slope of a Hill or
affording an extensive out
look. OF the latter class Vermont con-
tains an unlimited number, and most
Of this kind at the present
time brings to the owners very little
revenue.
The Publicity Bureau believes that
there exist an opportunity very large
y to increase Vermont's wealth and
through the judicious de-
yclopmeht Of the summer home propo-
3ition. The idea appeals to many per-
sons employed in business and the
and particularly to those
employed in educational pursuits who
nave long vacations If high prices
IRE charged for sites not now valuable
great opportunity will be lost, IF
prices are established waste
,laces will be developed, property
,aIues will increase, new markets will
,e opened and a generally desirable
lass of people will become attached
0 Vermont. Then people will become
rood customers and many Of them will
,ecomc good ncighbors. Good morals
nd good business alike demand that
purchasers be treated in
pirit Of friendliness and fair dcalns.
through the newspapers Of the State,
he department appeals to the people
{ Vermont for their cooperation in
uilding up a new and promising in
ustry, which has been source Of
lrge profit to some Of the neighboring
ommonwealths.
