The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-11-05

The greatest question that
will confront us as American
Jews in the next few years is
that of immigration. We may
look, We believe, for a liberal
policy in this matter on the part
OF the incoming administration.
The historic policy of the nation
has been favorable to the right
Kind of immigration, and we
have no reason to feel pessimis-
tic about the course the new
administration will pursue. The
attitude towards the victorious
party by the recognized labor
leaders who worked for its de.
feat, and who have been anti.
immigrationists, points to a re-
versal of the labor policy-and
a reversal will favor the letting
IN OF immigrants who are will
ing to become Americans in ev-
cry sense of the term. We look
for a policy of Americanization
which will permit of the assimi-
lation of the newcomers-and if
such a policy is pursued, and ev-
cry sign points to the fact that
it will, we will have gone a long
way towards the solution of
problems that trouble not only
those who are looking for a ha-
ven of refuge, but that trouble
those industrial enterprises that
have suffered for the lack of
certain classes of immigrant la.
Dor.

THE NEW EDITORIAL CON-
TRIBUTORS.

TRIBUTORS.
The editor of the Jewish Mon
itor is very happy to announce
that a number of the foremost
Rabbis of the Southwest have
become editorial contributors to
it's columns.
The large territory covered by
the Monitor and the varied opin-
ions of it's subscribers have made
this policy of editorial expan-
sion advisable. Our own feel
ing is that a Jewish weekly, be-
ing the only medium whereby
thousands of our co-religionists
are kept in touch with the faith,
can confer unreasonable bene-
fits on it's readers by the contri-
buttons of the capable men who
have given us the privilege and
the pleasure of becoming our co.
workers in these columns.
Naturally the editor will not
be responsible for the opinions
expressed by the editorial contri-
butors, and they will have abso-
lutte freedom to write just what
they want to write. AS the
Jewish Monitor is a Jewish pa
per, with a larger emphasis on
the term Jewish than any of the
divisions of Jewry, we will have
among our editorial contributors
both Reform and Orthodox Rab-
bis, and Zionists as well as Anti
Zionists. We feel that in this
way we will serve the interests
of Southwestern Jewry best.
The following gentlemen have
been asked to become editorial
contributors, and have accepted:
Rabbis Martin Zielonka, David
Lefkowitz, Henry Cohen, A.
Verne, David Rosenbaum and
A. E. Abromowitz, all of Texas.
Rabbis Joseph Blatt, Morris Tel
Ter, of Oklahoma. Rabbis ]. H.
Stolz and Leonard Rothstein, of
Arkansas. Rabbi Brill of LOU
isiana. Replies have not yet
been received from a number of
others.
We feel that the influence
of the contributions of these
gentlemen who are the recog-
nized leaders of Jewish thought
in their respective communities,
will not only be of benefit to the
many readers of our paper, but
that they will rebound to the
glory of our faith.

emitting the paragraphs dealing
with the two particular matters
of the Masions and the English,
are obvious. Ford, by the way,
we are told, is a Freemason, and
every man who understands the
craft will tell you that he is a
traitor to the best teachings of
that great order.

ors of the lying manufacturer
have not put into their transla-

Russian scholars, is contained
in the original of the mystic Nj.

transported from France to
Scotland, and there, under a new
name, an alliance was made with
United England, for whose bene.
tit the veil covering the secrets
(of the Sanhedrin) was raised.

against the Papacy. These &C.

ent date, England receiving help

The men who made the trans.
latlon of Nilus's work from the
Russian have been careful to
omit any passage that is direct
ed against the English and
Masons, though anyone who
reads the above paragraph will
know that the reference to Scot
land refers to Scottish Rite Ma
sonry.
The articles of Ford contend
that the Protocols are the min
utes of a meeting of the leaders
OF Jewry in which plans for the
conquest of the world for polit-
ical, financial and cultural con-
troll are set forth. Ford has
said that he believes that the
Jews want to control the world.
Ford has by this statement

he made it-shown that he is
even a bigger fool that the ia

him to be.
But besides being a fool, Ford
is making a lying anti-Semite of
himself. He is making state.

pear.
Agricultural Claimants
In like manner a preference right
is accorded agricultural claimants
Where land has been bona fide en-
tered as agricultural, and not with
drawn or classified as mineral at the
time of entry (not including land
claimed under any railroad grant,
the entryman or %patentee, or as
signs, where assignment was made
prior to January 1, 1918, if the entry
has been patented with the mineral
rights reserved" shall be entitled to
a preference right to a permit, and,
on discovery, to a lease.
Such entrymen and patentees, or
assigns, holding restricted patents,
within an area not greater than a
township, may combine their hold
ings not to exceed 1850 acres, for
the purpose of making joint applica-
ton for a permit.
Parties interested in this provision
of the law should not overlook the
point that lands withdrawn or clas-
sified as mineral at the time of en-
try are excluded from the benefits
of this section. Such lands, or the
mineral deposits, are subject to per-
nit and lease to first qualified ap-
plicant, the entryman or owner hav-
ing no preference right.
Known Structure of Producing
Field
Within the known geologic struct-
ure of a producing oil or gas field
the act provides that all u~nappropria-
ted deposits of oil or gas, and the n
entered lands containing same, not
subject to preferential lease, NAV be
leased by the secretary of the interior
to the highest responsible bidder I'M
der competitive bidding to qualified
applicants in areas not exceeding $40
acres, and in tracts which shall not
exceed in length two and a half
times the width. The royalty is not
less than II IL per cent and the rem
tai for the land s1.0O an acre.
Under Sec. 10 of the act a mineral
under certain conditions NAV
secure a permit to prospect within
the known geologic structure of a
producing oil or gas field, to be fol-
lowed on discovery by a lease with
IL IL per cent royalty to the gov
ernment.

lividuals or a corporation is entitled

time in any one state for oil or

THE OIL GAME

The new leasing law will give
impetus to the development OF
the oil industry. In the great
west, California was probably
the first to get results and in
time brought in the wonderful
gushers of the Kern county n
other fields. Oklahoma, Texas
and Louisiana followed and are
today the great producers and
the scene of many fortunes
made over night" Texas is not
a public land state and in the
Louisiana there is perhaps but
little government land remain
ing. Wyoming has already made
great strides in the development
of its oil resources and under
the operations of the leasing
law will show further advance
ment.
The promise of new fields is
in Montana and New Mexico,
with Arizona and the extremely
southern portions of California
decidedly on the map of pros
pective territory. Here is where
the new legislation will work adj
vantageously because there r
vast areas of public lands and of
lands patented with the minerals
reserved to the government.
In all the vast regions of the
west where there are oil indica-
tions and where capital is will
ing to take a risk in searching
for it, homesteaders and other
claimants under the agricultural
land laws, as well as patentees
and their assigns (if the mineral
deposits are reserved) have pre-
ferential rights under the new
law that may be OF value.
1t would be well to bear in
mind that these rights, especial
ly in regions where wells have
already been brought in, are as
sets, and interested parties
should be fully informed in the
premises.

With the prospects for the strik-
ing of commercial oil in many
parts of Montana constantly bright
ening, Montana is in the midst of the
first phase of any great oil develop
ment excitement-the leasing boom.
All over the state individuals, groups
of individuals and corporations are
looking for leases and acquiring
them.
There is much interest at the pres
ent time in the matter of leasing land
classed as public land from the gov
eminent, and although the present
law covering the leasing of land be-
lieved to contain oil, oil shale, gas,
coal, phosphate and sodium was ap-
proved February %, 1920, the law is
so lengthy and complicated that few
people have so far been able to make
themselves acquainted with it's pro-

PREFERENCE RIGHTS
Mineral


Any person who on October /,
1919, was a bona fide occupant or
claimant of oil CT gas lands under a
claim initiated while such lands were
not withdrawn, and who had pre-
~viously performed all acts necessary
TO maintain such claim and upon
which discovery had not been made
prior to the passage of the Leasing
Act and who has performed work for
the benefit of the claim to the
amount of $3.50, is entitled to a pros
pecting permit covering the land, if
application is made within six months
from the passage of the act.
If a permit is granted a mineral
locator under this section for land
within the known structure of a pro-
ducing field, the royalty on a lease
that may thereafter be granted will
be II 1-2 per cent instead of 5 per
cent in other cases.
All permits and leases under this
section to mineral locators shall in
ure to the benefit of the claimant,
and all persons claiming through or
under him, by lease, contract or

est as a stakeholder of another cor
poration in more than the number OF
leases stated in the preceding para
graph. No person, association or Ger
poration can by interest in other
leases or by stock holdings in cor
porations or otherwise acquire a
greater interest in the aggregate than
is allowed to one lessee under the act.
May Dispose of Surface
In making leases the secretary of
the interior may reserve the right to
lease, sell CT otherwise dispose of the
surface of lands covered thereby, so
far as not necessary in extracting the
minerals therefrom; but such reser-
walton must be made before offering
the lease.
Distribution of Funds
The distribution of the moneys re-
ceived as royalties and rentals under
the act is an interesting item. The
reclamation fund is the chief benefit
receiving 70 per cent for past
production and SO 1-2 per cent of flu
ture production, including bonuses,
royalties and rentals. The state in
which the leased lands are situated
receives 20 per cent of future produc-
ton. Your Uncle Sam gets only 10
per cent of the pot.

WELCOME FOR CHESS PLAYER
Oevotee Of Game, Traveller Asserts,
Will Never Lack companionship
or Entertainment Anywhere.

IF you want to travel but feel un-
equal to learning supply Of modern
languages for the purpose, then play
chess. The ideal substitute for Esper-
antO and Latin at last has been found,
IL the experiences of Il scholar who
lately returned from long wanderings
on foot through Europe may he trust
ed, for he says that everywhere the
enthusiast can find chess players
That he need never lack companion
ship or entertainment.
The speech of chess is more reliably
universal than musical notation. You
may employ it in hut and castle with
out danger of going astray from ETH
quette, and it has no pitfalls of double
meaning. The traveller may enjoy his
little game in the Alhambra, in the
mosques of STEAMBOAT and in London
clubs. His chess men being his faith
full companions, a partner was sure to
turn up, of wha: nationality it matter
ed not at all.
Once, on Il walking trip tie whole
length of the Italian peninsula, he Wis
tied the ancient Benedictine monastery
of Monte Casino, whose learned
monks We're all devoted to chess and
set aside Il spacious room in the great
building for their games. Its furniture
consisted merely Of Il chess table;
players and spectators stood. The
monks kept him two days as their
guest in continuous tournament, and
he lost hut one game after n banquet
in his honor whereat old, rare vintages
appeared in profusion. The scene Of
tie play was dramatic, the contestants
| standing in the center of circle Of
cOwled monks, who followed every
move In intense silence.
Another continuous tournament" he
played on horseback while journeying
through Mesopotamia; another while
drifting down the Tigris on raft OF
gOatskias to Mosul. where he tried his
skill with the archbishop Of Bagdad. a
genial opponent. At Tabriz. metropolis
Of Persia, he played simultaneously
against the eight strongest players of
the city. The traveller attributes his
success in a diplomatic mission to an
act Of great self-denial-he permitted
a distinguished nobleman, commission
ed by the shah to conduct negotiations
with him, to defeat him in a series OF
games which preceded the contest OF
| wits.
