ment, because Of the iron facts, it is
so, and the Zionist movement must
protect, aid and lead the exiled Jew,
else no one will protect or lead him.
The Board of Directors Is Self
Perpetuating.
The articles Of the Keren Hayesod
do not perpetuate the directors any
more so, or in any other way, than do
the articles of any corporation. II we
are not satisfied with the law, we have
the assurance Of all the members Of
the Keren Hayesod Board that they
do not seek perpetual power, that it
was never intended to create a closed
Board, that the Articles Of the Keren
Hayesod are only tentative and sub,
ject to the will of the Congress, which
can at any time change them as il sees
fit; also there is the incontrovertible
fact that 81 per cent of the control OF
the Board Of the Keren Hayesod and
all Of the Eexuctive lies in the Zionist
Organization. The Zionist 0rganiza-
ton and the Zionist Organization
alone will have the power over, and
the control Of all funds. What other
safe guards are necessary? Can we no
longer trust the Congress?
Then the objection to the personal
ity Of the Board. The sad fact is that
the American leaders do not want
Usshiskin and Jabotinsky on the
Board.
Usshiskin, who has labored for US
for forty years. Nsshiskin, the Iron
Man Of vision. Plain, blunt, honest
Usshiskin, who has given all the years
Of his life without stint; and Jabotin-
sky, who stood for US in the battle
line, who gave US his lifes blood. ia
botinsky, the last Of the "Geborim",
whose spirit is one with the warriors
Of Israel, with David, with Gideon,
with Maccabeus. Him the American
leaders would reject because the con-
gress did not elect him to the Great
err Actions Committee. These men
have spoken, they do not seek position
-perpetuation or control, they are
ready to step out at any time. They
are only striving TO serve US. II we
do not let them serve US, to whom
then shall we turn?
The greatest objection TO the Ker-
en- Hayesod was that the principle Of
the Keren Hayesod permitted CO.
mingling Of funds, /. e., donations and
investment funds, and that the foun-
dation Of the Keren Hayesod were not
grounded on business principles.
The Charter OF the Keren Hayesod
provides that a certain percentage OF
the fund goes Immediately into the
National Fund for the purchase Of
land, that certain percentage goes
for investment in enterprises that will
ultimately yield return in dividends to
the investor. For twenty-seven per-
cent Of what one give to the Keren
Hayesod. a certificate or share Of
stock will be issued and dividends paid
thereon. A very small percent q per
cent? is to be used to carry on the
work and the balance for other cor
structive work that the necessities Of

Late Tuesday afternoon both houses
passed the board Of control bill with
the amendment which incrcases the
membership from four to five and pre-
vides that the two additional members
shall be women. The house displayed
mighty good judgment in attaching
this amendment to the measure. It
would have been most unfortunate if
the bill had been left in it's original
form providing for four members, be-
cause, sooner or later, the board with
that membership would undoubtedly
have been brought under the influence
Of the politicians. Governor Preus
has announced the appointment of Dr.
3. A. Hilbert of Melrose and Miss Car
oline Crosby Of Minneapolis. Miss
Crosby is we'll fitted for the position.
1t is said she has devoted practically
her entire life to community and uplift
work. The second women has not yet
been named but Governor Preus
could certainly make no better choice
than Mrs. Fanny Morse who has made
such a splendid record in conducting
the girls school at Sank Center.

The Minneapolis Tribune in one Of
its recent editorials brought out a
point which it would be well for most
people to bear in mind. The Tribune
comments on the difficulties the rep
resentatives Of the farmers organiza-
tions are encountering in deciding on
program to present to congress, and
states: 1T SINNERS down to the truth
that there is as wide a span between
conservative and radical farmers as
there is between conservative and
radical labor, and there are as many
shades Of thought between the two OK
tremes." Not all the farmers, nor all
the merchants, nor all the bankers, nor
even all the editors have the same
mental processes and some of us in
occasionally contemplating one of our
professional brethren can hardly re-
frain from uttering the prayer of the
Pharisee.

Harvey's Weekly: Never was there
a finer or stronger pledge Of national
care for the wounded and invalid of
our army in the great war than that
which was publicly proclaimed by
President Wilson, long ago, nor one
more sincerely meant. Never, we
trust, was such a pledge more dis
gracefully regarded, not by it's maker,
but by those who should have fulfilled
it. Today we hear of a great mass
meeting to be held in New York to
strive to Great, public sentiment
that will effectively demand better
treatment for the disabled veterans.
What are we to think of officials VINO
need to be goadcd by public sentiment
to the doing of duty which they
should covet as privilege? What
are we to think Of a public sentiment
which has to be aroused on such a
subject by mass meetings., spellbinders
and brass bands.

The University of Minnesota asked
the legislature for yearly appropria-
ton of $3,344,o00 and received $3,OO0,-
900. With this modest sum and an ad-
ditional income of $4,000, 900, VIC trust
that the university, by exercising the
most rigid economy, will somehow
manage to keep it's doors open during,
the coming year. It is to be hoped
that the students will not be forced
to resurrect the apparatus of the mid
die ages which it was rumored they
would be compelled to use because of
lack Of funds. We all wish to see the
University of Minnesota some day
rank among the really great universe
ties of this country. However, she
will never be classed with these insti-
tutions by virtue of her enormous size
or the fact that each year she has
placed at her disposal vast sums of
money. It is scholarship alone that
will make famous the name of any
university.

Harvey's Weekly: Opposition to a
national department of education
seems to be based chiefly on mistaken
grounds. It would of course be in
tolcrable to exercise bigotcd dcspotism
over private schools or to interfere
with religious instruction. But there
is no reason for supposing that ma
tional department would do that any
more than state and municipal school
departments have done. Rather would
it be an additional safeguard against
it. On the other hand it is pointed out
that illiteracy in the United States is
increasing, not alone among the ne
groes of the south and among immi-
grants, but among the native white
population. It is estimated that H.
literacy to dcy is costing the country
approximately 1926, 600, 900 year be-
side causing one-half of the industrial
accidents. Certainly such conditions
cry aloud for abatement, and if the
remedy is not to be found in national
action it would be of value to be in
formed where and what it is.

A Manila editor, under the provi-
sions of an ancient Spanish law, has
been cast into prison for criticising
in mild way members of the Philip
pine legislature. Such fragrant muz-
cling of the press should not be coun-
in any territory under Ameri-
can jurisdiction and protection. If
this ruling is allowed to stand there
will be nothing to prevent the gov
eminent of the Philippines from be-
coming as putrcscent as it was in the
days of Spanish rule. A free press
has been the greatest safeguard the
democratic institutions Of the United
States have ever had. Without it's in
f1uence there would soon be a rever-
sion to autocracy. Russia under the
cars had no free press-evcry article
in the papers was censored
by the government-and no greater
autocracy ever existed than in the
empire throughout the
reign of the Romanoffs. So far as
free. press is concerned, however, Rus
STA is perhaps not much better off
today under soviet rule, but it cannot
possibly be worse than in the days
of imperialistic censorship.

This week is being celebrated in
many places as ''Be Kind to Animals
week." It is a laudablc effort, but
what about the other fifty-one weeks {?
Albert Lea Standard.
"Be Kind to Animals Week" was
originated by the Massachusetts, So
cicty for the Prevention of Cruelty for
the purpose of persuading ministers
of the gospel and school instructors
to instill into the minds of their con-
gregations and pupils during this
period the spirit of kindness and hui
name treatment of our dumb animal
friends. The week is being more gen
orally observed as the years roll by,
put pastors and teachers arc not Civ
ing it the attention which they should.
If but one Sunday a year were de-
voted to the preaching of kindness to
animals and birds from the pulpit and
short talks given daily for one week
by teachers, the efforts would doubt
less make an impression and tend to
encourage humane treatment of those
that cannot speak for themselves.

According to a reputable medical
authority the first prescription re-
corded in history is enc written 1900
years before Christ, which was fcr-
mula to promote the growth of the
hair of the mother Of KING Chata. It
was inscribed on an Egyptian tile
found in pyramid and, translated,
reads as follows: Pad of dogs foot,
one part; fruit of date palm, one part;
hoof of an ass, one part; to be boiled
together in oil. This is doubtless a
peculiar admixture, but it strikes us
that its hair-restoring qualities would
compare favorably with the canthar-
ides nostrums sold to victims of bald
Medicines today. - :.

PRESS COMMENDS PREUS.

The country press is almost unani-
nous in commencing Governor Preus
for signing the occupational tax
measure. The general opinion seems
to be, that in 50 doing, he has kept
faith with the voters. Of course the
papers in the range country are not
exactly enthusiastic over the COVER
nor's action. The Hibbing Daily News
comments in the following manner:
"Well, We don't think Larry Ho
would have treated us as Jake did,
but we couldn't make enough other
folks believe it at the right time"
No, we believe that Larry Ho or
even Shipstead would have signed this
occupational tax measure. Preus,
Hodgson and Shipstead were all
pledged to sign a fair tonnage tax
bill and THE tonnage tax was not a

Much bitter feeling exists in Sweden
against Mormonism and, rs a result,
the Swedish crown council has issued
an order that all Mormons who enter
the country must leave within ten
days. This edict affects several Nor
mon missionaries from America who
are PROSECUTING in Sweden. The be-
lief is prevalent in Sweden that the
Mormons still practice polygamy and
the people object to the recruiting of
girls in the country districts for emf
grafton to Utah. While it is, of
course, unlawful to practice polygamy,
there is reason to believe it is still
carried on in a secret way. Sweden
cannot. be blamed for ousting these
disciples Of Brigham Young.

The extraordinary fiction that our
Liberty bonds will be exchanged or can
aceled for German bonds to the amount
of our government war loans to the
allies, thus relieving the allies from
the debts owed the United States,
crops up again, this time in Germany,
says the New York Herald. But
whether such stories are set afloat
in Germany, Great Britain, France or
anywhere else is immaterial. Does
it never occur to the dreamers that
the Liberty bonds on which was
raised the money lent to the allies,
amounting to about $1O,0O0,O0O, 900,
are the property of the people of the
United States. When Americans put
up their cash and resources to win the
war they did not get any security
other than the Liberty bonds and Vic
tory notes Of the United States gov
eminent. The government can redeem
them as they mature, buy them in
the open market or offer to exchange
with their holders different security;
but it is only the individual holders
of these bonds and notes who can
determine whether they will or will
not exchange them or in any other
way part with them before they are
payable at maturity.

CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

The League of Women Voters has
been holding national convention in
Cleveland This is certainly most
active organization and it's members
did splendid work in arousing the in
terest of the women voters in the cam
paign last fall. Moreover the men,
bers have not allowed their interest
to lapse since election, they are work
ing to create an intelligent electorate
among the women of America. The
men have every reason to be proud
of their women who have shown them
selves SO worthy of the ballot.
However, it would seem that the
women, meeting in their various con-
ventions, are crowding reform move
ments rather fast. Our election laws
are not perfect and all of our public
officials are not above reproach, but
possibly the newly enfranchised vot-
tiers ought not to be too hasty in their
condcmnations. Most of the. former
suffrage leaders seem to strongly favor
the primary law and many of them
apparently regard with high degree
of suspicion any man who is opposed
to it. The people Of Minnesota have
every reason to know that our present
primary law has some serious defects
and men who have just as high ideals
as the members of the League of
Women Voters, and considerable more
experience with election laws, favor
a decided modification if not repeal
of this law.
At the state convention of the
League Of Women Voters last Deem
Der, the women were urged to keep free
from the corruption of the old political
parties. In looking over that gather
ing of we'll dressed women an observer
might we'll wonder how many of those
women were enjoying the fruits of
the practices they condemned and
directly or Indirectly encouraging
them. Let US not be too hasty in our
condemnations or be too righteously
;aloof in this matter of clean politics,
and let US spend some of our reform
energy with the women voters them
selves.

Probably the oldest woman in the
United States, whose name was
Bridget Harvey, died in Milwaukee
recently at the age Of 118 years. Mrs.
Harvey attributed her longevity to the
incessant use Of tobacco, but there is a
possibility, of course, that she was
wrong in this deduction and that the
use of the weed shortened he1 life
in other words, that she was victim
of nicotine.
