HAPPENINGS OF 20 YEARS AGO

HAPPENINGS OF 20 YEARS AGO |

home on Santee.
The schools throughout the county
will open. Monday, September 9Th.
Died last Saturday night, Grace, O |
five-year old daughter of Mr.. r.. T.

self for her profession as an up-to-
date milliner.
In coming out of the church at St.
PauPs Sunday night of last week, Mrs.
Henry G. Carrigan stumbled over a
buggy shaft and fell breaking one Of
the bones in her right arm.
The body of Mr.. W. P. Peagler was
i brought from Glenn Springs last
Monday night and taken to Jordan,
where the funeral took place yestcr-
day.
A toll gate near Jordan would be
paying institution. Perhaps then
some of our Manning dudes would
help somebody with their frequent
visits.
Captain w. N. Royal, of the A. G.
L., was in town last Monday and he
seems confident that the authorities
have captured the william who muir
dered poor Jimmie Blackwell.
Died last Monday at her homie near
Pamela, Mrs. Mary A. Harvin, wife of
Mr.. Thomas Fl. Harvin. The dcceas-
ed has been i'll for a long time and
her death was not surprise to her
host of friends in this town.
The wedding cards announcing the
approaching marriage of Mr.. Archie
Barron and Miss Mary Anna Davis,
are out. The ceremony takes place
at the home of the bride-elect's
mother
Cotton is coming to town right
along and from what we can learn
rust is maturing the stock so fast
that it will be a short season of pick
ing. The crop will not be as large
as expected.
The new vault in the Clerk of
Courts Office is a beauty, and Clerk
Timmons after he gets his books and
papers arranged, will have things so
that he can find anything he wants
at a glance. 1t is a great improve
ment.
Last Thursday night some miscre-
ant cut saddle belonging to Mr. Gus
Walker while he was attending SER
vice at the st. Paul revival meeting
This sort of thing should be stopped
if it takes every member of that
church to ferret out the perpetrator
of such mean tricks.
Tuesday, August goth, was the
eleventh anniversary of the earth
| quake. Eleven years ago after pri-
mary election, while many Of us were
waiting for the returns from the va
rious boxes, the earth trembled and
houses shook. All at once fright
cncd people went to praying and cry
ing aloud their lamentations. We
shall never forget it.

rage as inevitable. Not that we
feel that it is absolutely necessary
for the regeneration of the world,
or that such regeneration will re-
suit from it. In these troubleous
times we see that women act in all
matters like the members of the
sterner sex, are swayed by the
same impulses, sentiments, and
ideas, and are subject to the same
influences. But it is matter of
simple justice. AS long as some
women wish the ballot, they ought
to have it. The governed must be
the governing at the same time.
There is no other principle for a
democracy. Even a referendum is
unnecessary.

AND STILL THEY COME.

Mr.. Israel Zangwill returned to
the Zionist fold; Mr.. Jacob Schiff
has expressed himself in favor of
Jewish cultural center in Palestine !;
MIR. Adolph Lewisohn approves of
the Zionist program; and now DR..
Joseph Krauskopf Of Philadelphia
in a lecture delivered to his con-
gregation speaks of Zionism as a
beautiful dream that is quite
realizable.
Zionism is on the road to popu-
larity. We may live to see the day
when a non-Zionist Jew will be a
rare specimen, the survival of an
extinct species. We should not be at
all surprised if the next Conference
of American Rabbits should go on
record as approving of Zionism, at
least in it's cultural phase. "The
Jewish Comment" of Baltimore,
will probably hold out to the very
last. But, it, too, will ultimately
see the light.
Such is the power of true ideal,
an ideal that makes for the better
ment of humanity, or any portion
thereof. Especially an ideal cher
ished by people for twenty CEN
turtles or more cannot be so easily
abandoned. It may be obscured,
suppressed, all but extinguished
for while. But it will sooner or
later reassert itself, and again
point and light the way. Zionism
is furnishing one more proof of this
fact.

THESE ARE MY PEOPLE.
Generous souls in St. Paul and
Minneapolis have contributed dur
ing the last few days $4,000 to
charity. It all comes from Jews.
1t all goes to Jews.
No questions are asked of the
giver. It does not matter whether
he is Orthodox, Reform, Radical or
agnostic. He may or may not be a
Zionist. He may support or oppose
the Congress. He may belong or
be Indifferent to the B'nai Birth.
He may be any brand of Jew. It is
enough if he recognizes himself as
one OF the household of Israel and
as such gives voluntarily.
The giver asks no questions. The
benefciaries are to be Jews. It
does not matter in what country
they live so long as they are not
alien enemies making war on the
United States. 1t does not matter
in what religious strata they be-
long. 1t does not matter what the
DRY of Jewish life or future they
adhere to. They are Jews. They
are in need. That is enough. The
Jewish heart responds. These are
my people.
Judaism defes definition. The
Jewish people are more than a ma
tionality, creed, race. They can
not, they need not be defined or
classified. Whoever knows himself
to be a Jew-he is one. Whoever
is a Jew-he feels, though he may
not be able to analyze, the Jewish
bond.
This bond is an elemental feeling
that is unique. Hunger, love, fear,
hope, admiration these cannot be
described in terms other than
themselves. They must be felt.
The bond that holds Jew to Jew,
that binds each to his people, that
makes all suffer through the
of one-try to explain it if
you want to. It cannot be done.
But it is there. 1t is real. It makes
