pirants are hustling in Chicago instead
Of remaining properly at home, It is,
perhaps, with the hope of finding some
escape from the fix into which they got
because they refused to believe that
times have changed and that the presi-
dsncy cannot be bought.
Hellroaring Hiram and the other can
didates who have blundered into bogs
OF money have, between them, imposed
a tremendous task upon the clearer
thinking leaders who will have to man
age the convention and steer II ration
ally in the way that IL should go. This
candidate and that, sallying out Of hotel
suites, may parade up and down in
Chicago as generals parade who would
hearten and inspire troops before battle.
Theirs will be wasted hours. Steadier
minded men will run the show and
manage the stage and, with sane eyes
to the future, inspire the decisions.
Sentiment throughout the country is as
unsettled as autumn weather. Leaders
may not know just what the people
want. But they know whae the people
do not want. And they will go about
their work with the knowledge that
they are being watched and that they
will be held to reckoning.
This is as it should be. We have
gone far since the days when the work
Of national convention was neatly
mapped out by groups of complacent
| gentlemen who sat in private confer
ences month or two before the conven-
| ton assembled. For once. at least
public opinion will make itself felt as a
direct force on the floor and in the
caucus rooms.
7 1t is for that reason that there seems
little hope for the nomination of John
son, Lowden or Wood. And any one
who has been listening to Hellroaring
! Hiram's talk about European dictation
to the United States nigh, profit by a
study Of the atmosphere of Chicago and
| the atmosphere of those other cities of
the world in which policies of govern
ment are now in process Of formulation
or change.
London. deep in anxiety and harassed
by inherited cares Paris. feverish with
uncertainty Rome, troubled about each
tomorrow: Berlin, Moscow, Madrid,
centers Of volcanic forces, contrast oddly
with Chicago. where there is nothing but
blithe assurance and the consciousness
Of limitless strength. We alone have
the power to dictate. And since we are
not and will not be dictators, the day
for that sort of thing is passed and
done. Therefore 1t is necessary to won
der what Hellroaring is thinking about,
anyway. The answer comes easily
enough.
He Is thinking about himself.

Where shall it look for guidance and

The Vatican's influence has been
moved farther east by the creation OF

political influence among the Orthodox
people of the former Russian empire.
1t Is already stated on good authority

the Warsaw Government and General
Petlura, the Ukrainian national leader,
to establish the union between the
Ukrainian Orthodox Church and Rome

Geneva, June 5.-All European ex-

alone is not enough; it must be supple

Viewed in retrospect, the old fash :

steady voice, that ''he did not desire

Second notices requesting payment
of Palestine Restoration Pledges
made in the recent campaign, are
being prepared for mailing to dom
ors to the Fund. Contributors are
requested by the treasurer, Mr..
Henry WELLER, Cosmopolitan State

waiting for reminders, as number
of urgent appeals from the headquar-
tiers in Palestine for more funds has
been received. It is hoped that the
committee will be able to forward an
additional Ten Thousand Dollars to
New York by about the first of Aug
ust, but this can be done only if the
pledgers of the larger amounts will
send in their payments at this time;
if this is done, the committee will
probably be able to wind up it's work

collection of the vast number OF
smaller amounts. To date $4,000
has been forwarded from st. Paul.

Continued from rage :.
With the precision of an architect
and the inspired vision of a prophet,
Herzl proceeded to outline in detail
the process of, creation of a Jewish
problem, revealed itself in his earli-
est boyhood. At the age Of ten, he
drew up plan for cutting through
the Isthmus of Panama. After grad
uating from the Classical Gym
nasium, at the age of eighteen, his
parents moved to Vienna. There he
took up the study of law and received
his judicial degree in 1884. But in
stead of practicing law, he was at
tracted by the beautiful scenery of
Tyrolean and made his home in the
City of Salzzburg, where he gave him
self up almost entirely to literature.
His enormous capacity for work,
quality which has characterized nearI
ly all great men, revealed itself at
this time and resulted in the produc-
ton of large number of plays, es-
says, sketches, critical studies, etc.
Many of his plays were successfully
produced, and he became famous as
a Journalist and writer of feuilletons
or short sketches. In 1891 he went
to Paris as correspondent of the
Vienna newspaper ode Neue Freie
Presse," an event which brought a
new turn to his thought and action.
His literary success and diverting
travels had made him lose touch with
the problems of the Jews. In Paris,
however, the Dreyfus affair was at
that time absorbing attention, and
there he witnessed such violent
and unreasoning exhibition of hatred
and spite against the Jews that he
was forced to look into his own soul
and define his attitude to his own
people. He saw the vast majority
of the French nation in Europe eager
''to convict one Jew, and, in him,
all Jews" He underwent a painful
and tremendous inner struggle from
which he emerged with clear con-
ception of the Jewish problem and
with a simple but fundamental plan
for its solution. Herzl came back to
his own people, not alone to suffer
with them, but to lead them to a new
and dignified life. He determined
that the Jewish problem could be
