A FAMOUS VISITOR.

When in the course of the
years to come the history of the
Zionist movement is written the
impartial historian will in all
probability rank DR.. Chain
Weizmann of London as second
only to Theodore Herzl as a fac
tor in shaping the destinies of
Zionism, DR.. Weizmann is a dis
tinguished chemist who ranks
high in his profession and rem
dered notable service to Great
Britain in the line of his profess
sion during the great war. He is
credited with exercising the pre-
dominate influence in securing
the promise from Secretary of
State Balfour which mas since
borne the name of the latter.
After such an achievement DR..
Weizmann's place as a Zionist
leader of outstanding import
ance was naturally secure. He
has, of course been severely crit
icized by those who do not think
that the Ziohists have gotten all
they are entitled to; but Weiz-
mann has stood the attacks with
patience and forbearance, salts
fled with a record of splendid
achievement which is of vast i'm
portance to Jewry everywhere.
He is now on a visit to the Unit
ed States and is assured of a cor
dial and whole-hearted welcome
not only from Zionists but from
all Jews who are able to appre-
ciate the inspiring example of
unselfish, extremely difficult
and often times disheartening
labors. DR.. Weizmann is one of
the great figures in Jewish his
tory and it is well that the Jews
of the United States should hon.
or him accordingly. No doubt his
visit to the United States will re-
suit in important developments
in the affairs of American Zion
ism. He comes at a time when
the Palestine Company of Amer
lea has been formed in New
York to help in the development
of the Holy Land according to
modern and systematic methods
DIR. Weizmann is intensely in
terested in this phase of the sub
ject and his presence here should
not only aid the prospects of this
project, but strengthen Zionism

RETURNING TO PRE-WAR
CONDITIONS.

LIE European SIdIeSIIlell, III
such they can be called, must
now begin to realize the awful
mistake they made, when they
assumed, or pretended to, that
the peoples of Southeastern Eu-
rope were fit for self-govern-
ment. The representatives of the
Allies were misled by the eager
ness of each of them to secure
advantages for his own country
and all consideration for the well
fare of humanity at large was
made secondary, if it was ever at
all a factor. The only exception
was former President Wilson,
but the lack of support at home,
largely due to his mistaken
methods, and his lack of diplo-
matte Witness, made him the
dupe of his European colleagues
and rendered him powerless to
bring his ideals into realization.
The final outcome will prob
ably be a return to the Status
quo ante, the pre-war condi-
lions, just as was the case in
France after the revolution at
the close of the eighteenth CEN
fury, had spent its force and the
imperial form of government
was restored.
The unspeakable brutalities of
the Poles, Hungarians, Ukrain-
ians and even the Austrians,
their utter defiance of the laws
of humanity, their absolute dis
regard of the terms of the treat
les to which they were parties,
their ability to reconcile their re-
ligious belief with the commits
sion of every species of crime, as
long as the victims were not fell
low members of the same church
argue so low a state of mentality
and morality, that the need of a
strong government, one that
does not depend on the will of
the governed, becomes an imper-
ative necessity, if any semblance
of order or reign of law is to be
maintained.
Strange as the assertion may
seem, it is nevertheless true that
the primary cause of the low eth
ical and moral status of these
turbulent peoples lies in their re
ligion, which is to all intents that
of Ancient Rome, a somewhat
but very little modified form Of
Heathenism, which recognizes
no rights for barbarians-that
is for those who differ from

OUR THEOLOGICAL
SCHOOLS.

Loosely speaking, American
Jewry is divided into Orthodox,
Conservative and Reform CLASH
fications. Each has it's own rab-
binical school. The Orthodox
have the Yeshibah Yitzchok Ell
chanan; the Conservative have
the Jewish Theological Semin-
airy, and the Reformed, the He
brew Union College. Judaism is
broad in its conceptions and is
able to include all three classifi-
cations.
The Hebrew Union College is
the oldest of the three schools
and its financial position is as
sured. The Yeshibah has also at
tanned financial security. Only
the Jewish Theological Seminary
is in straits. 1t is threatened
with bankruptcy because so
many pledges for its support are
unpaid. On the strength of pied
ges amounting to $4,000, the
Seminary enlarged its budget,
added to its faculty and increas-
ed the amount of it's scholar
ships. Of these pledges, $4,000
are outstanding. The new scho-
lastic year calls for budget of
$4,000, and, according to Louis
Marshall, if this sum is not rails
ed, the Seminary will have to
close its doors.
For thirty-ive years the Jew
ish Theological Seminary has oc-
cupied an honorable position in
American Jewry to which it has
furnished many worthy rabbis
and teachers in Israel. 1t has
planted many sturdy and benef-
cent growths in the Jewish vine
yard. To meet the impending
crisis the trustees of the Semin-
airy have appointed a committee
to raise funds. 1t is the duty, as
it should be the pleasure, Of
every Jew to meet this COM
mittee generously. 1t is the duty
of every Jew to uphold the Tor
all and sustain its students. The
Seminary must be aided, now
more than ever, because there is
a great call for rabbis and teach
ers. Many pulpits are vacant,
and many schools are in need of
qualified pedagogues.
This committee should be met
generously by all. No question
of adherence to this or the other
Jewish point of view should be
raised. The Torah is one for all
Israel. The perpetuation Of Jew
ish learning is the duty Of every
Israelite. We urge all who an.
swer to the name Jew" to aid

(The Federation is composed OF those
three countries).
The new constitution proclaims adj
varced principles. 1t declares the in
volatility of the human life. This
has been a tendency of the Latin
American republics, death penalty
having been abolished in the laws OF
Brazil. Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecua-
dor Guatemala, Honduras, Nicara-
qua, Panama, Uruguay and Venezue-
In. Liberty of thought and of con-
science is guaranteed. There can be
no LEGISLATION on religious matters
and all the forms of worship not OPP
posed to morals, good customs and
nuhIic orders are allowed. Religious
associations which compel a person
to an unconditional obedience or es-
tabIished confinement in cloister, are
prohibited,
A religious act cannot be present
ed to prove the civil status of man.
This provision is meant to do away
with the ancient principle of Spanish
legislation which recognized the reli-
gious certifcation of birth, marriage,
or death as valid and good as the
state certifcations.

BOOSTING A CITY.

Two months ago gentleman came
into the News Office and asked US
where Valparaiso, Fla, is located.
We didn't know. We had never heard
of Valparaiso. But now we know,
and no doubt, the entire nation knows
that Valparaiso is one of the best
advertised towns in Florida.
So aggressive and persistent are
its advertising campaigns that sew
eral big daily newspapers have de-
voted as much as a column of edi-
toriaI space commenting on it, Civ
ing it an advertising campaign that
money cannot buy.
We are told that "a city that is
set on hill cannot be hid"
Nor can one be hidden so long as
it blazes away about itself in the
serried columns of the daily press.
So evidently this vigorous little gulf
city is believer in advertising, in
blowing its own horn.
In an advertisement appearing in
leading daily papers of Georgia, Ala
bama, South Carolina and many
other states, Valparaison, through
its mayor, crowds into three inches
Of space talk about the glories and
advantages of that spot that packed
a punch and thrill in almost every
word.
Learn of the Vale of Paradise
that is what the Spanish name means,
and Florida, with the accent on the
second syllable is a fine Spanish word
that we have butchered in an Am
erican pronounciation-"Learn of the
Vale of Paradise where dreams come
true" This name and those of places
about Valparaiso recall the old Span
Ish regime in Florida, which Jack
son rather cavalierly unanswered off
the continent. We confess we had

"FATHE ROF AMERICAN
NAVY"

The promoters of the coming ex-
position devoted to illustrating "the
making Of America" seem to have
started, unwittingly, a sort of guess
ing contest as to who was "the Fa-
Their of the American Navy"
1t is rather amusing that no one
has yet suggested an American par
entage for the American Navy. Is it
not possible to hunt out an American
sailor to father the American feet ?
The other day SOME correspondent
asked the New York Tribune if John
Paul (Jones) was not tn ereal GA
Their" The Tribune decided that the
true paternity rested with Eek Hop
kins. But this decision will bear
investigation, and will probably be
overruled or reversed.
Milton Wright, we suppose one
Of the directors of the America s
Making" exposition, writes to The
Tribune that tn epromoters, after a
years investigation of the reconcile
and mystic question, finds no light,
and "takes no stand in the matter
But he says some suggestive things
about putative fathers of our navy.
"The Irish declare that Commodore
John Barry is the Father of the
Navy
"The English naturally claim Eek
Hopkins, commander of the navy dur
ing the Revolution.
"The Scots declare that John Paul
Jones alone is the legitimate claimant
to the title"
We cast a secret ballot for John
Paul.
To vote for Barry, the Irishman,
might prove embarrassing to the Ad.
ministration on the eve of the Arms
Conference; and to vote for Eek
Hopkins, the Englishman, might be
construed as a tub thrown to the
British whale, or sop to the Brit
ish Cerberus.

cal location" But it is situated on
seventeen miles of Gulf water smil-
ing placidly in the long bay of Chloe
tawhatchee, some forty miles east
Of Pensacola. To the west only two
counties lie between its own county
of Oklaloosa and Alabama-Escam-
bia and Santa Rosa, both Spanish
names. Alabama, by the way, wishes
to purchase that portion of Florida
west of an extension of the Georgia
Alabama line, which would throw
Valparaiso into the "Burned-Over
Land" or alabama, Here We Rest"
whichever or whatever they agree it
is. That calamity must, we infer, be
avertcI, for how could the Vale of
Paradise consent to be separated
from our Flowery Kingdom?
The census gives Valparaiso some
500 or so inhabitants, but they must
make up in stupendous zeal for their
lack in numbers. The advertisement
tells us that "a million dollars in
municipal improvements are autho-
rized for this year," and we learn
by private wire that the town has
appropriated $4,000 for advertise
ments. 1t is going to put itself on
every map.
The advertisement says further
that any one may Gown a beautiful
home here, with a perpetual income
at practically no investment" That
sounds indeed Valparadisiacal. And
what should draw most wonderfully
is the lure of the fishing: Fishing
supreme. Every day you can catch
the big fellows until your back aches
and your hands blister"
But the city of Valparaiso doesn't
put all its advertising eggs in one
basket. 1t sends out in letters a
little circular that is fairly startling.
1t is a sort of Napoleonic bulletin,
and is captioned "At Valparaiso,
Florida, Yesterday" The Bulletin
before US gives the record of two
yesterdays at Valparaiso, September
"a and 25. The weather is reported
as clear and pleasant, and remark
adds: 1.-TWO days as nearly perfect
as days could be-" But what could
be so rare as a day in Valparaiso,
except two or more days?
Some of the items are amazing:
Nobody under doctors care, no men
seeking employment, no poor, seeking
aims, no heat prostrations, no heat
sufferers, nobody unable to work on
account of the heat. And fishing
bathing, motoring "fne," in Roos-
eveltian tones.
All this information, the record OF
p brilliant yesterday, the promise Of
still more brilliant tomorrow, is
contained in an attractive little cir.
cular of three and a half by six
inches.
Does it pay for city to advertise
Valparaiso thinks so, and goes at il
with wonderful vim and efficiency
Other cities have developed by

means of systematic advertising
and we are not thinking entirely of
Atlanta.
Which remands US that Palatka is
holding before herself the goal of
10000 population by 1880.
What wonders could not a city of
this size accomplish, if it worked
as hard and as efficiently, in pro-
portion, as Valparaiso?
