THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN.

Secretary McAdoo of the Treas
ury has issued statement that the
campaign to sell the second issue of
Liberty Loan Bonds will close on
the first of November, 1917, and the
active campaign will begin not later
than a month before that date.
The Secretary explains that de-
tails of the second loan cannot be
given out until final action has been
taken by Congress upon the war
bond bill now pending but announc-
es that as soon as new loan has
been passed the details will be given
out.
The Secretary expresses a hope
that all existing Liberty Loan COM
mittees will perfect their organiza-
tons and new organizations be eff
fected in readiness for the next cam
paign.
AS in the first campaign the cam
paign in each Federal Reserve Dis
trict will be under the supervision
of the Federal Reserve Bank, which
will act as the fiscal agent of the
Government.

may buy up the Mediterranean

they may experience change Of

THE BEAUTIFUL REVENGE.

A despatch from Petrograd to the
London Times tells the following
The radical Gentiles and Jews of
the city of Kherson (South Rus
sia) protested against permitting
the Roumanian government to es-
tablish itself in that city, giving as
the reason for their attitude the an
ti-Semitic policy of the Roumanian
ruling classes The Roumanian gov
eminent, forced by the success of
German arms to flee from it's own
territory, found the Russian city of
Kherson best suited for it's capital
due to it's geographic location. On
account of the protest voiced by the
radicals the Roumanians would not
have been allowed to settle in Kher-
son if not for the interference of
the more moderate Jews, who in
duced their co-religionists to relent
and permit the Roumanian govern
ment to move to Kherson.
In the entire history of mankind,
since the PRONUNCIATION of the Mo-
sale Law of "an eye for an eye and
a tooth for tooth" there has not
been any other instance of such
beautiful, digni6ed, truly Jewish re-
venge. No cruel punishment, no tor
ture melted out to the enemies of
our people could produce such ire
mendous moral effect on humanity
as the forgiving attitude of the

ROSH HASHONO.

For about two thousand years the
first of Tishri has been observed
by us as our New Years. Day, and
has been observed in practically the
same manner, with the same ritual
and ceremonial practices and SYM
bols, and with the shrill trumpet
sounds, as it is today. And long
before it assumed it's importance as
New Years Day, it was a day
Of sacred character. It is, there
fore, one of our oldest institutions,
hoary and venerable with age.
And even as it is notable for it's
hoary antiquity, so is it noteworthy
for the unique character Judaism
has stamped upon it. Though, as
a New Years Day, it is a day of
festivity, of rejoicing and glad felici
tations, it is yet day of grave SOL
emnity in the synagog, Of sober
thought and earnest meditation.
The Jewish New Year does not
lend itself to frivolous merrynak-
ing, boisterous hi1arity and baccha-
nalian revelry. The beginning of
a New Year is to the Jew one of the
most serious moments in life. A
New Years Day marks time, and
time is the precious stuff of which
life is carved, and life is a noble
gift of God that should not be
trifed with. These ideas impel the
Jew to sober and serious demeanor.
Quite natural, therefore, is the
hold this festival still has upon the
true Jewish heart. 1t serves as a

AMERICAN LABOR ENDORSES
ZIONISM.

The Conference of the American
Alliance for Labor and Democracy,
held at Minneapolis last week, una
nimously passed the following reso-
luton:
"The American Alliance for La
Dor and Democracy expresses it's
unqualified approval of the avowal
by President Wilson that one of the
motives for Americas entrance into
the war is to secure for the small
nationalities the right to live their
own lives on their own soil and to
develop their own culture under
free, national auspices.
"Inasmuch as among all these
small nationalities, the Jews alone
have no home land of their own, we
urge upon the President and the in
ternatlonal congress which will ne
gotiate terms of peace, the legitimate
claims of the Jewish people for the
re-establishment of national
Homeland in Palestine on a basis
of self-government."
This action is in keeping with that
of the British Labor Party which
passed a similar resolution at it's
convention in London several weeks
ago.

test of Jewish loyalty. Other fes-
rivals of the Jewish calendar have
been allowed by many of our people
to fall into neglect. Other Jewish
customs and observances have been
permitted to fall into desuetude, and
are more honored in the breach
than in the observance. But Rosh
Hashono and Yom Kippur have
not yet lost their grip on Jewish
sentiment. Only Jew who has en-
tirely gone astray from the Jewish
fold, or has contemptuous and
scornful disregard for our tradi-
tons, or considers his Jewishness a
misfortune, fails to respond to the
moving appeal of this day. But
thank God, of such n-Jewish Jews
the number is still very small.

MANNiNG's VIEWS ON Tine ~.
EXODUS FROM THE .soUTH
Southern White Man Says Denial Of
Justice 10 Responsible.

The colored people are leaving the
south by the thousand, more want tt
leave, and more are going to leave, says
the Hon. Joseph G. Manning, a former
|member OF the Alabama legislature, in
a letter to the New York Sun. It is
more than a wish to better their eco
homie condition that is causing this
departure of Negroes from the south
It is more a sort of quiet revolution
against the oppression and repression
70 which southern Negroes have been
subjected for many years. ~ ET
The spirit Of revolution has manifest
ed itself in simply leaving the, south.
OF course the demand for labor in the
north opened the door of opportunity,
but the restiveness of the Negro in the
far southern states was such that the
point was reached where, for better or
for worse, the desire to get away had
taken strong hold. y,
The disfranchisement laws more
than anything else have created the
feeling Of unrest and discontant, on, the
part Of the southern colored, people.
Their relegation to the status Of a sub
ject citizen, the denial to, him Of civic
Justice, has been, too bitter pill to
swallow in mere submission. The un-
even chance in litigation in the. courts,
the oppression of the illiterate and
helpless Negro by and through the
processes in the petty courts-these
and other minor prosecutions play a
part in creating the determined move
ment to get out Of the south and go
where there is more Of q square deal
for the average man. M
Lynching has something to do with
adding to the feeling that has brought
about this exodus; but, strange as 1t
may seem, the terror Of lypching does
not go SO far in deeply moving the
southern Negro as does the lossEof his
rights as citizen.
A Negro minister who was recently
in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and 9TH
er southern states is authority for the
statement that leading Negro ministers
and many leading Negroes 1ndorse the
movement to get away from the south,
means protection under the law, the
right of citizenship better educational
advantages for their children ana free.
dom from the increasing wrongs of
the south.
This subject Of the coming north Of |
southern Negroes was discussed at a
weekly meeting of Baptist ministers |
in New York city, and a. q lsading
minister who had been south told Of !
the wholesale departure OF southern
Negroes for the north, crying out to
'let them come" there was q chorus
of "Amen." .1sc 9;s g~r
These people coming up frog the
south to the states Of. the nsrtA enA
west will soon be voters, and their
leaders In this section are keeping this
In mind. Never before has there been
such a united movement on the part
Of the ministers Of the north among
the colored people in the matter OF urg-
Ing Negro voters to qualify for voting |
you want to help those left down
there in the south by voting up here"
Is the way the ministers in the north
are putting their appeals.
