faith, but merge their racial iden-
tity in the wider current of cosmo-
politan humanity. Being of Ger
man nativity he followed the trend
of large portion OF German Jewry,
it's trend toward Rehabilitation.
Yet, DR.. Jacob was a Jew, of
Jewish parentage. There were
times, perhaps, when his sympa-
thies were with his erstwhile coreli-
gionists, especially in their suffer-
ings, altho we do not know that he
ever gave voice to such sentiments,
except in a broad humanitarian way.
The Jewish encyclopedia records his
name together with all Jews of note.
But in the lengthy tributes that the
metropolitan press has paid him
upon his death, in it's accounts of
his career and in it's editorial COM
ment, no reference whatever was
made to the fact that he was of
Jewish origin. Even the New York
Times, managed by Jew, ignored
the matter. How differently the
press would have acted if DR.. JAG
obi, instead of being the great ply
sician and humanitarian, and the
distinguished American that he was,
would have been at the head Of
some organization of Bolsheviki or
other radicals. In one way or an
other it would have managed to let
the public know that the undesir-
able citizen was of the descendants
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Trot-
sky in thought and sentiment is
probably farther from his people
than jacob ever was. But who
does not know that Trotsky is a
Jew? The press and other vehicles
of information have seen to it that
such knowledge permeate the peo-
pies minds. But jacob is just an
American. The Jews are held re-
sponsible only for their Trotskys.

INTERNATIONAL ZIONIST
PARTY ORGANIZATIONS.
July rs, 1919

AIIOIlS TIC QuCSllOIlS " COlIlC up

ferences and the Chicago Conven
ton is the one referring to the rec
IGNITION of international Zionist
parties. Shall the World Zionist
organization recognize them as
such or not? Two such parties are
we'll known: The Poale Zion or
Socialist-Zionists, and the Mizrahi,
the orthodox-religious Zionists.
Each one has it's own aims in adj
dition to the general Zionist aspira-
ton, it's own program and it's own
policies. The Poale Zion would
turn Jewish Palestine into Social
list democracy, while the Mizrahi
would safeguard above all else the
orthodox religious life of the peo-
pie. Such parties, factions, or
groups exist in every nation. 1t is
quite natural that the Jewish ma
ton in Palestine should have them,
too. The World Zionist organiza-
ton, therefore, must recognize
them. They are facts to be reck-
oned with. They exist; and if they
are ignored, they will still exist.
On the contrary, we must give them
no opportunity to remain entirely
independent bodies. They must, as
party organizations, be somehow
affiliated with the general body,
and as such make their per capita
contribution either to the world-or
ganization or to the Zionist organi-
zation of each country. Having
made such annual contribution of
the per capita tax of it's members,
it may send it's proportionate repre-
sentation to the national and inter-
national Zionist congresses. It is
thus an organic part of the general
Zionist body, and can still pursue
it's distinctive aims, and carry on
it's own work.
1t is certainly not creditable to
the Zionists that until now no real
modus vivendi has been worked out
between the different factions and
the main body. All are Zionists,
and share in the one great aspira
ton of making Palestine the Jewish
national homeland. They must all
be represented in the larger govern
ing body, and must pay their pro-
portionate tax to it. Outside of
that, each faction or group can

"All politicians and pot-boiling

invited to stay away from the annual
meeting of the Georgia Weekly Press
Association at Monroe July IA. This
invitation has been issued by Presl-
dent Paul Harbor, with the request
that all politicians kindly not worry

little business of their own to attend
to.

President Harbor, "but we simply
don't want them around the meeting,
either on the inside or outside. The
gathering is for the newspaper edl-
tors, to attend to their business and
strictly for that purpose, and it IS IN
no wise designed either to further or
hinder the ambitions of any polltl-
clans.
"Of course, we can't keep them
from coming to the town where we
are going to meet, nor can we keep
them from log-rolling on the outside
if they want to do a thing like that,
any way. But we can make it plain
that we have a little business of our
own to attend to; that we want to
be let alone this year to attend to
that, and then if they come, why
it's up to them"

HOSTILITY TO WILSON
SURPRISED GIBBS
PROMINENT BRITISHER WHO
RECENTLY VISITED AMERI-
CA so TOLD LONDON.

LONDON, Eng.-When the Stars
and Stripes first fiuttered along the
roads of war in France, said Phillip
Gibbs, addressing large gathering
at Birkbeck College, new thing had
happened. II was the entry of the
most democratic power in the world
into the affairs of Europe, and a
bridge of boats had been built across
the Atlantic which had utterly brok-
en- the isolation of America.
Touching upon his recent visit to
America, Mr.. Gibbs dealt with the
American point Of view with regard
to European affairs, which he said all
Americans were watching with the
keenest interest and some alarm. He
was much surprised on reaching
America by the extraordinary and
passionate hostility towards President
Wilson which was displayed by many
Americans. In New York it was so
violent that husbands quarreled with
wives, sisters with brothers and
friends with friends over the person
atty and policy of the president.
Republican distrust of President
Wilson, he said, was based on the
feeling that under what he called his
pacifist policy he had Inundated
America before the world and that
he had been pushed into the war
against his will by the pressure of
public opinion. However, when Amer
lea came into the war, said Mr.. Gibbs,
the whole American people abandon
ed party politics and supported the
president as a war president. But
when the war was finished with the
armistice republicans were reused to
real fury against him and they de.
clined to back him in the league of
nations until they knew exactly how
far he had committed them on the
other side.

REPRESENTS oNE-THIRD OF EN-.
TIRE SPHERES WORTH WHEN
GERMANS BEGAN STRIFE. ALL
NATIONS INCLUDED.

WASHINGTON.-This world, &C.
cording to Senator Reed Smoot, OF
Utah, the acknowledged congress ex-
pert on such subjects, is now inflated
to the extent of $240,000,000,0OO.
AS the sphere is only worth at pres
ent deprecated values of money
about $96O,OOO, 100000 the senator
finds that the imitation represents
one-fourth the whole status of the
planet.
But that is not the worst Of it. On
the basis of values as they existed
before thu war caused imitation the
world was worth about $780,00O,-
600, 900. So that today imitation rep
resents almost one-third as much as
the legitimate valuation Of the ball
before the Germans started their
abortive effort to capture it.

GEORGE INCLINED
TO ALTER PEACE PACT
PRESIDENT OPPOSED TO LONG
DELAYS AND SUGGESTS 3
NOTIFICATIONS.

PARIS. President Wilson held a
long conference today with the Amer
lean commission, which was consider
ed of great Importance. The president
asked for the views of all the Amer
lean experts on different phases of
the German counter proposals, indi-
eating that he had not decided upon
his attitude and that possibly it might
be determined by what the experts
reported, although the experts them
selves were divided.
The president is against delay, yet
the experts say that if any German
points are conceded the conference
may drag on for months. From what
was disclosed at the meeting it ap-
pears that Premier Lloyd George is
becoming very uncertain under the
terrific pressure of the liberals at
home. This was revealed when the
council of four held its first discus
sion on the German counter propos-
ais, Premier Clemenceau demanding
an immediate refusal, but Premier
Lloyd George fatty disapproved such
action.
Tension Is Increasing.
The indications from today's ses-
sion are that the British Prime Min
lister more than President Wilson will
be the controlling factor in the peace
conference and that he will be guided
entirely by the British optical sit
uation. The French are showing a
decided determination to treat the
proposals as insolent and unworthy
of any discussion. Although Presl-
dent Wilson has not revealed his at
titude in any way, it is regarded here
as significant that those closest to
him are stressing now the probability
that changes will be made IN the
treaty. Should the British Premier
advocate such changes unquestlon-
ably Premier Clemenceau would have
to give way eventually. This situation
is causing much tension here.
All want Germany to sign the
treaty. They are unable to analyze
the situation in Germany sufficiently
to determine just what will happen
if they stand on the treaty as it is
or make only the slightest changes:
Another factor is that the president
is greatly DESTROYS of returning home.
He had decided to sail about June
9Th, but Colonel E. M. House told
him he should not do so.

TAX COMMISSION
FILES ITS REPORT
TWO AMENDMENTS TO CONSTI-
TUITION ARE PROPOSED. TAX
Es ON INCOMES.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The report of
the state tax commission to the next
legislature as adopted by the commits
sion recommends two constitutional
amendments to remedy the existing
evils of the present tax system.
These amendments are practically
the same as outlined by the commits
sion at it's public hearings over the
state recently with the exception that
the amendment submitted at. that
time has been divided into two
amendments, the first to deal with
classification of property and the
second deals with taxes on incomes,
inheritances, privileges and occupa-
ton. The proposed amendment reads
as follows:
Classify Taxable Property.
First. All taxes shall be levied and
collected under general laws and for
public purposes only. The genera
assembly shall have the power to
classify property for taxation and to
adopt different rates and methods
for different classes Of property and
to segregate different classes of prop
erty for state and local taxation. But
all taxation shall be uniform upon
the same class of subjects within the
territorial limits of the authority
Lowing the taxes. Taxes may be lev
led ad valorem upon any given class
property without regard to the meth
cd used in levying taxes on any oth-
err class of property.
Second. Taxes may be also lmpos-
ed upon incomes, inheritances, priv
ilege and occupations, which class OF
taxes may be graduated and when
levied may contain provisions Tor
reasonable exemptions.
Tax ON Merchants and Banks.
While cenvering it's whole argu-
ment on the passage of the above leg
islation, which would follow the pass
age of a bill, the taxes proposed up
on merchants, bank deposits, secured
debts. ETC., are discussed by the
commission in it's report and recon-
mendations as to rates are made, but
these are only tentative, as it is recog-
nized that such classification laws
could not be enacted before the sum-
mer of 1921 even if the proposed
amendments are passed at once by
the next legislature, because the next
general election at which the amend
ments would have to be approved by
the people will be in the fall of 1920.
The commission also recommends
a plan for the creation of a pern'a-
nent ts.x commission with twelve dep
uty tax commissioners and other feat
ures of a modern improved system
of administration, but it does not
recommend the inauguration of TINS
system until after the constitutional
amendment has been adopted and
approved by the people.

POSTOFFICE BURDENED
With FRANKED MAIL
CONGRESSMAN CHARGED WITH
ABUSING PRIVILEGE. FORTI-
ETH OF ALL MAIL FREE.

The abuse of the franking privi-
lege by members of congress has been
made the subject of an attack by
Representative Alvan 7. Fuller, of
Massachusetts, a new member of the
house of representatives: Mr.. Fuller
declared that the volume of matter
sent from Washington by members OF
the senate and house amounted to
more than one-fortieth of all the
matter mailed in the United States
during 1908. He expressed the opin-
ion that the proportion has greatly
increased since that time. In his
charges Mr.. Fuller asserted that
members Of congress make frequent
use of the franking privilege in seek
ing to return themselves to office
year after year, despite the fact that
it was NOT originally intended for
any such purposes.
Cost of One Batch 100000.
During his investigation Mr.. Fuller
says he learned that between 20 and
80 tons of franked mail matter is
sent from the house office building
every day, and that during campaigns
this total is boosted as high as 40
tons. One congressman sent out 75O,-
900 parcels during single campaign,
and one political party franked 3d.
600, 900 speeches. Another congress
man mailed $4,000 parcels Of books
in day. The postage would have
been, to ordinary mortals, 45 cents
for each book, or total of $500, 600.
Representative Fuller notes that
the cost of handling franked matter
in the mail is only part Of the ex-
pense to the government, as this ma
terial is printed free of cost to con-
gressmen. It leads to loading the
Congressional Record with political
matter and to the sending of thou9-
ands of parcels of free seeds, leave
to-print speeches, campaign docu-
ments and ike materials through the
mails.

sulting from the Korean independ-
ance movement, declares that Japan
ese officials and soldiers have acted
like lawless savages in dealing with
this peculiar situation"
"Tn remarkable manner" he said
to the Associated Press, "the Korean
independence movement has mani
tested skill, courage and organization
that has been a great surprise to
many. It has shown, more than ever
before, how unreasonable, without
justice, cruel and brutal the military
rule of Japan is in this land. I could
hardly believe these things il / had
not seen them with my own eyes.
"The police and soldiers have ar
rested old men and little children
and cruelty beaten them. Little girls
of only 10 years of age, women and
school girls have been shamefully
treated and subjected to physical
punishment and torture for no other
crime than shouting with peaceful en-
thusiasm for their own country and
crying out for the independence
which Japan had guaranteed by sol
enn treaties.
Keep Truth From World.
"These things have been witnessed
not by one or two but by scores of
missionaries, even limiting at deporta-
ton unless they stop telling out the
truth.
"The following are some of the
things that I have actually seen with
my own eyes:
"Small school boys knocked down
and cruelty beaten by japanese sol
diers. This WAS not question of ar
resting them, but savage, unjustifi-
able barbarism.
"Soldiers stop and deliberately fire
