OLD BRIDGE GOING

Old Tenth street bridge will soon be
a memory. The bridge was closed off
Tuesday and the work of tearing down
the approaches was commenced. The
center pier and approaches up at 2lst
street are ready to receive the old
draw and it will soon be Hoated up the
river on SHOWS.
The present bridge was put in place
in 1872, and when once condemned
years ago was turned over and was as
good as new. Bonds had been voted
for new bridge when Mayor Stoke,
during his first term, and Engineer l..
X. PITT conceived the idea Of turning
the bridge upside down.

l.. B. Noyes, one of the editors OF
the Sheboygan Herald, paid our city a
visit last week, and on his return,
shoots off his mouth thus through the
columns of his paper:
Mantowoc:-We spent last Saturday
in this beautiful city, and would have
been glad if we had more room and
time in this issue to give a sketch of
its business and nerits. In general
terms we will say, it is a live, growing
city, whose inhabitants are not playing
Rip Van Winkle, but are wide awake.
Manitowoc has splendid natural advan-
tages for large and thriving city, and
if enterprise, energy and concert of ac-
ton on the part of her citizens will
make her such, then such is evidently
her destiny. We called at the news
paper Offices, of course, or at least at
the Office of The Pilot, the Tribune,
and the Nord Western. They all ap-
peared to be thriving. Good for them.
Manitowoc will prosper if she supports
well her local press. Called on Tom
Windiate Ga visit to Mantowoc would
not be complete without stopping with
Tom) He is fitting up his house
Splendidly, and he keeps first-claSs
public house. The day was very agree
ably spent, and we shall most asSuredly
call again.

mother Monday. Tl,o fine of S25 and

The schooner John Weber, which
craft has received a thorough rebuild
at this port the past winter, was
launched last Tuesday from shipyard
point.
Some difficulty was occasioned in
launching her, caused by one of the
forward ways sliding out of place into
the river, and as the vessel slid off, the
way stuck in the mud, causing the YES
sells stern to swing out into the river,
while her bow was almost high and dry
on the shore. She sustained no dam
age, and, with the assistance of the tug
Kitty Smoke, was easily gotten off.

Justice Louis D. Brandeis Of

Justice Louis D. Brandeis Of
the Supreme Court, Honorary
President of the Zionist Organi-
zation of America, Judge Julian
w. Mack, of the y. S. Circuit

ganization, Nathan Straus, Mrs.
Mary Fels, Jacob de Haas, Zion
ist executive secretary, Louis
Lipsky, organization secretary,
Prof. Felix Frankfurter, Capt.
Abraham Tulin and David Ro-
senb1oom will sail on the Lap
land on June 18th to attend the
international Zionist Conference
which convenes in London July
4th. They are the advance guard
of an American delegation of 80
elected at the extraordinary III
onist Convention which was held
in New York City on May 9th
and 10th last. The balance of
the party will sail on the S. S.
Finland next Saturday.
The international Zionist con-
ference which will be attended by
large delegations from every
country in Europe, as well, as
delegations from Palestine, Ar
gentine, Australia, Canada and
New Zealand, is the first world
Zionist conference to be held in
six years. 1t is regarded as one
Of the most important gatherings
ever held in Jewish history, since
it will be called upon to deal with
practical questions involving the
preparation Of Palestine as a
Jewish Homeland in accord with
the San Reno declaration by the
Peace Conference which recog-
nized the Jewish claim to Pales-
tine as its traditional and his
toric homeland, and placed that
country under a British mandate,
at the request of the Zionists, for
the specific purpose of establish
ing such a homeland, with an eye
The American Jewish world., 1920-06-11

of natural resources will be pre-
vented. The basis for the social
program American Zionists hope
to initiate in Palestine leading
toward the development Of the
model state" dreamed of by
Theador Herzl, the founder Of
the movement, is the famous
Pittsburg program, adopted in
1918 and ratified for the second
time at the recent extraordinary
American Zionist t Convention.
This program provides, among
other things, that in Palestine
there shall be political equality
irrespective of race, sex or reli-
gion; policy which, with due re-
gard to existing rights, shall tend
to establish the ownership and
control of the land and of all
natural resources and public utili--
ties, by the whole people; that
all land, owned or controlled by
the people, shall be leased on such
conditions as will insure the full
est opportunity for development
and continuity Of possession; the
application of the cooperative
principle in the organization of
all industrial, commercial and
financial undertakings and the
framing of a fiscal policy so as to,
protect the people from the evils
of land speculation and from
every other form of financial op-
preston.
The American delegation is
pledged to the principle Of free
immigration, but recognizes that
because of the unpreparedness of
the land, it will be necessary to
regulate this immigration so as
to bring into Palestine at the out
set vast labor-army which will
begin the immediate construction
Of harbors, highways, reservoirs,
hydrostatic plants and other vast
public utilities for the 100000
Jews who, it is expected will ,ll--
timately make that country their
home. One of the first problems
which the American delegation
will present to the conference
will be the establishment of a
national board of health with the
The American Jewish world., 1920-06-11

to its development into an
autonomous commonwealth. The
conference will therefore meet
with the consciousness that the
political aim of Zionism for which
the movement was organized in
1897 has been achieved, in spite
of apparently insuperable obsta-
cles and bitterly persistent oppo-
sition.
The deliberations of the con-
ference will be watched with in
tense interest by millions of Jews
in the pogrom-haunted countries
of Europe for whom Palestine is
the only means of escape from the
intolerable conditions of persecu-
ton, appropriation and massacre
in which they have lived since the
outbreak of the war. Authentic
reports to the Zionist Organiza
ton of America indicate that
hundreds of thousands are pre-
pared to migrate to the new Jew
ish homeland as soon as the nee
essary formalities, including the
signing Of the treaty by the rep
resentatives of the Ottoman en-
pire, definitely placing Palestine
under British suzerainty, have
been gotten under way, and ar
rangements have been completed
between the British Government
and The Zionist Organization for
the regulation and absorption of
the impending mass-migration.
The American delegation is go
ing to the conference with a def
mite program which is both prac-
tical and social. The Zionists
are pledged to create in Palestine
such social conditions as will pro-
tect the many against exploita
ton by the few, and while due
regard will be given to the safe
guarding of private capital and in
dividual initiative, land monopo-
" and the private exploitation

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
The Work of Naming the Next Presi-
dent Will Soon be Completed.

The big national convention of re-
lpublicans is now at work and almost
kbefore this issue is mailed the result
of its labors will be known. All re-
portcrs Of every variety of political
faith admit that it is the most free
|'and untrammelled body that has met
in national assembly in years and all
are very leary Of making any predic-
tions as to the outcome.
That the convention will take an out
spoken stand against any League of
Nations that binds us in any way TO
mingle in European quarrels is GER
tain. and it is equally certain that il
take as open stand in favor of al
lowing foreign goods coming into this
country to bear a much heavier part
of the enormous tax burdens of the
country than they are at present.
The nominee will be the next presi-
dent, but rs yet his name could be-
gin with most any letter from Allen
Of Kansas to Wood-only X, Y, and Y
seem to be barred. As soon as he is
named though you can tell who the
next president will be.

That the hicks are even more plenti-

week. A Lamar attorney having i'm
portant information to secure from the
General Land Office sent a telegram
addressed to that office at Washington.
A few hours later he received a re-
ply from the telegraph company that
the telegram addressed to "Geeral
Land Office" could not be delivered as

had failed to locate the Generals name

SAYS ALL FILIPINOS
 WANT INDEPENDENCE

"It is frequently said that only the politicians in the Philippines want in- dependence, but do not think such is the case" said Dr. D. M. Gandier, superintendent of the California Anti Saloon League, who has just returned from the Philippines. "I have met all classes of people from various parts of the islands and all alike seem to me to desire independence. I am inclined to think that they have the ability to govern themselves We are developing a social and political con- science in America and they will de velop one there; and I very much doubt that they will learn as fast under present conditions as they would under complete independence. Independence in some form is bound to come and I am inclined to think that 1t had better come soon"
