THE IRISH RACE CONVEN-
TON.

In view of the Jewish Congress
that is to be held, the Irish Race
Convention is an interesting event.

Congress. Some Of us deny we are
a race. Neither can we agree on
"national' congress. 1t certainly is
not "religious" congress. 1t will
therefore probably be simply lew
ish Congress.
In another respect the two gather
ings are comparable The Irish
Convention seems to have aroused
among the Irish great controversy
as to it's objects and effects. Some
praise it inordinately. Others con-
denim it unmeasuredly. Coming at
this time, it was sure to be accused
of being unneutral, whatever attl-

tude it took or whatever platform it
adopted. Our own Congress will
undoubtedly arouse no less ex-
tensive controversy although it is
to be hoped it will be free from
acrimony
But we must steer free of any I'm
neutral declarations. Whichever
side shall be victor in the grim con-
test, Jewish loyalty and lives will
have freely contributed to the re-
suit Jews are on all sides of this
manifold war. Wherever the Jew
owes loyalty he pays it and in no
grudging measure. We cannot
therefore take sides against our
brethren on either battlefield. But
we can and should insist that all ma
tons shall in justice to themselves
and the Jews give them equality
with all other citizens or subjects
within their borders.
1t is to be hoped therefore that the
Irish Race Convention will impress
on our congress the necessity first
of maintaining an absolute neutral
ity SO far as the European conflict
is concerned and second to adopt
platform broad enough for all Jews
to stand upon.

Jews AND AGRICULTURAL
CREDITS.

1t might seem that the connection
between so-called Rural Credits and
Jews is far-fetched. a little reflec-
ton would indicate that those inter
ested in the various solutions OF the
Jewish problem offered in this
country should interest themselves
in this legislation.
Congress has had before it tor

several years bills dealing with the
subject of providing farmers with
cheaper, more easily negotiable and
more easily obtainable credit. A
commission was appointed which
travelled all over Europe to investi-
gate the subject thoroughly. Its re-
port is voluminous document of
hundreds Of pages. England also
has recently investigated this sub
ject. 1t seems that in France and
Germany systems of rural credits
are in existence that enable farmers
to make loans extending over peri
DDS as high as so years with interest
as low as 3H% or even less and
small annual payments per year.
Privilege to pay part or all of the
loan at any time is given to the Dor
rover. The result is said to be ex-
tremely beneficial to the agriculture
al classes. Legislation looking to
the establishment of machinery for
extending similar advantages to
American farmers is now pending
in congress.
One cause for the failure of the
effort to colonize the Jews on farms
has been the absence Of an adequate
system Of credit. Under the French
and German system means are pro-
vided for the purchaser to obtain
the maximum of credit with the
minimum of capital so that he may
establish a home. In France the
prospective homesteader is even
subsidized. The movement back
to the soil' would undoubtedly be
given a great impetus by proper
system of rural Credits In this
movement the Jew is or ought to be
vitality interested.
It would be we'll therefore for per-
sons interested in movements from
which the Jews as group will bene
fit to watch carefully and even to
try to hasten wise legislation in this

EDITORIAL NOTES.

A recent report in the Jewish
press is to the effect that 10000
Jews of Chicago, or 50R Of the en-
tire Jewish population of the Windy
City, are religiously unaffiliated;
which means, that they don't be-
long to any congregation. That is
very interesting news. 1t would be
equally interesting to know how
many Of the 10000 who are affili-
ated, attend the synagogue only
once or twice year, as is the GUS
tom among fashionable people nova
days.

A rabbi can quit the pulpit and take
up almost anything else, and make
money, as many rabbits have demon
strated. How many insurance men

An effort to purchase an up-to-

in one of the Twin Cities recently,
disclosed that most department

A few carry the most staple and
popular books in addition, but no
thing worth while. In both cities
there are perhaps not more than two

sheepskins on the stove in winter, and in

"Rasputin was big and strong, but he
didn't like to work. He liked to talk and
he liked to quarrel, and he stirred up his
inspiration for talking and quarreling at
the vodka shop. Are thinking heads to
be found in such village to match ones
wits against? There was nobody to an

spirits, he rebelled and wrangled and
made trouble. Everybody for miles about

~ left for Russia, we asked him to
find out and write for us the real
truth about Rasputin, the mysterious
monk who is said to be the power
behind the Russian throne. Mr..
Kirkland was granted exceptional
facilities for securing information:
we believe his article to be the first
really authoritative statement of the
facts published in America. 1t is a
story of fascinating interest "a figure
out of the fourteenth century inhu-
encing the destinies of twentieth

the forces of progress in Russia,
strengthened by the present war, and
the forces that in the past have been
responsible for Rasputin and the
medievalism which he represents.

II MISSED having dinner with Raspu-
tin by one day. Every intricate
detail had at last been arranged. AL
IL though reported to be visiting friends
in Siberia, Rasputin had come to Petro-
grad, and was to have been motored in a
closed car to private apartment for the
dinner. Since the attempt on his life, last
spring, in one of the exclusive eating
places of fashion, he now never appears in
restaurant
For six weeks | had maneuvered,
reaching for this wire and then for that,
until finally | knew that l had the right
one-for in Russia every one can be
reached by some wire. The point was,
to find the man whom Rasputin could not
deny and then to find the man who could
bring pressure on that man. Fortuitously,
found that third man, and then knew
that l was well on my way to Rasputin.
And then, with the last detail completed,
was called away twenty-four hours too
soon. By the space of that one day |
missed meeting the most interesting char
acter in Russa-the great, towering
monk, Gregory Rasputin, who from be-
hind the throne of Muscovy for the past
decade has held in the mercy of his
power the dictation of the veal of the
Empire.
1t is neither necessary nor discreet to
say who my acquaintance was, nor who
it was that knew Rasputin. Emphati-
cally it is necessary to omit telling the in
trigue of the pressure that was brought to
bear. But the man who knows Rasputin
is perhaps the only man who has ever
really known the monk intimately, and
who has ever been his confidant. He
promised to tell me, as a prelude to the
dinner, the secret of just who Rasputin is,
and to reveal the mystery of how he arose
to his power.
To get to my informant's house l was
led from the sunshine of the broad, roughly
cobbled street into a courtyard, and there
we found door leading to a long flight of
dark stairs. We climbed until just under
the roof, and pressed bell. Steps came
and door was unlocked. We slipped in
quickly, as if there were furtive eyes
watching. Where the trail of Rasputn
