NEW ERA FOR JEWISH RACE.
Russian Revolution Holds Out Great
Hope for Complete Emancipation.

The Jews OF Crystal Falls are very
much interested in the news emanat-
ing from Russia and also from Pal
estine. a great many OF the upper
peninsular Jews are from Russia or
the Balkans. The revolution In
Russia promises to bring to the Jews
in that country equal privileges with
the people OF other races and relig-
ions while the advance OF the English
in Palestine gives promise OF the
rescue OF the Holy Land from the
hands OF the Turks.
The Balkan situation Is somewhat
different at present. but II the Allies
win there is certain TO be a complete
reorganization of the governments IN
that section which will mean greater
liberties for the Jews in those coun-
tries.
Sir Alfred Mond. the only Jew
member OF the British cabinet says
Russia will find now that her new
born Jews are tremendous asset.
Wherever the Jew has received full
liberty, as in Englands and the Unit
ed States, he has proved himself an
energetic, enterprising. and loyal cit
izen. In many branches OF indus
try, finance, law and medicine, he has
excelled.
When | was in New York the ire
mendous zest for educational prog
ress. even among the most illiterate
OF the Jews who had migrated there,
was one OF the many things that i'm
pressed me. visited an extremely
fine technical school, built by the
municipality OF New York, one OF the
finest institutions Of it's kind l have
ever seen, and there / was told that
a very large proportion of the pupils
were children Of the poorest Jewish
people who had come from Russia.
Jews in Russia have never been
hostil to the people Of Russia, but
only to the despotic form of govern
ment there, and this hostility un-
doubtedly played great part in
feeding the repugnance which demo-
cratic America discovered for tho
Russian autocracy,"
Turning to the opportunity opened
Z up for the Jewish race in Palestine
by the entrance OF tine British armies
Sir Alfred said "Are the Jews suit
able for the agricultural life which
musts be the basis of the develop
; ment Of this sun-enriched soil? Ref.
, erence to the Jewish agricultural col.
onies established i'm Palestine in re-
= cent years gives an affirmative ans.
] wer. These colonies have achieved
} remarkable results and seem TO point
l 10 the survival of the old pastoral in
stinct of the Jews.
] Il consider that the Jew has pc
S culiar aptitude for farming If Jews
are found today mostly In nonagri
+ cultural pursuits il Is because the,
E have been prevented for centuries
j. from owning land. so of neccssit,
they have congregated in the cities
o ] should like to see much large

pie for the physical results to th
race would be very appreciate.
II have vet TO be convinced that th

SLEEPER DOING THINGS.
Michigan Executive Gets Message OF
Commentator From Wilson.

Governor Sleeper doesn't have
much to say but he does things. In
stead OF sitting around and talking
about this or that move he makes up
his mind and acts. AS a result OF
this policy Michigan has been in the
forefront in every movement for re-
medal action against conditions inn
posed by the world war. Governor
Sleeper at once grasped the idea OF
organizing the state for food increase.
He sent messages to different parts
of the state summoning men to meet
at Lansing plan. Before other
states got started talking Michigan
had had a conference and adopted a
program.

OF President Wilson. wired Governor
Sleeper acknowledging the prompt
ness with which the Michigan execu-
tive stepped forward with his state.
