1e[AWv, F nst I own Built in theNewZion

America bears upon it's face the seal OF
situated anywhere in Europe, Asia or
the Jewish soul and it's creative genius.
Even Jerusalem and Safed, hoary as they
are with the tradition Of the Jew and
stepped as they are in the rich lore OF
his history and past glories and martyr
doms, cannot by any stretch or the
imagination, be denominated as jewish
towns at the present day, as the seal OF
the Arab, the Turk and the various
Christian sects has been indelibly upon
them.
If, however, there is any validity to the
assertion Of those OF the Jewish leaders,
whether Zionists in the commonly under
stood sense or not (Achad-Ha'am not
ably) that we need the Palestine as the
spiritual center of the Jewish people OF
the Diaspora, so that in whatever land
they find themselves, and whatever Gull
ture they have imbibed, they may follow
the light and leading coming out of Pal
estine, Tel-Aviv will prove it. For in this
town if yet on a diminutive scale, we
have fairly good opportunity of proving
the good which Jewish community I'M
hampered by any restrictive laws or in
fluenced unduly by apish imitativeness OF
a more powerful and more numerous
majority, will accomplish, and in a COM
paratively brief number of years.
When on strolls out upon the Roth
schild Boulevard at Tel-Aviv one sees at
once before his eyes the Melting Pot in
operation. There one will find the Jews
of the Near East, Jews hailing from
Yemen, the Balkans, from Turkey, Meso-
notamia and Morocco, as well as those
from New York, Boston and Chicago, the
males Of Russian towns, from Poland,
Roumania and all other lands of the
Diaspora. Yet, if all these diverse ele-
ments serve to impart due amount of
picturesqueness to the setting, adding
tones to the blending of colors in the
tapestry to the fine mosaic, they do not
by any means jar it or upset the picture.
All these elements seem to form a per-
feet synthesis Of new life.

Perennial Neighbors

We were calling upon friend who has
top back apartment which looks over
some houses upon a row of apartment
houses in the next street The CONVEX
sation was normal enough until suddenly
our friend put her hands together in a
manner Of great relief and said:
ooh, there she is! was afraid some
thing had happened to her."
The street cannot be seen from this
apartment, and the speech sounded a little
wild, when we noticed that our look Of
dismay was being returned by an ex-
PLANTATION.
''You see," she said, "I feel as though
those people who live in the apartments
over there were what you might call
perennial friends of mine never think
Of them all winter, but every summer as
soon as the hot weather comes they all
seem to appear at the windows and lean
out to enjoy what air they can find and
to take look up and down the street.
Il had noticed all my old friends were
still all right except the apartment over
there where you see the bird cage. I
hadn't seen the old lady who used to sit
and sew by the open window all last
summer and / was worried about her.
But just saw her then and couldn't
help exclaiming with delight.
Know any of them? Mercy, no-but
in this remote way, you know, 1 really
feel very fond Of them. I've been genu-
inely worried about the old lady for
several weeks now. Would you call
this New York neighborliness, do you
suppose"

But, not only is the towns existence

more than two years and cost several
hundred thousand dollars, the Senate
voted, So to- 2S, that he be ousted
from his seat.
Then began series of misadven-
lures and disasters, which followed
him with uncanny persistence almost
down to the present Within a week
after his expulsion, while driving
overland from Washington to Chicago,
his touring car during a heavy rain
storm was smashed against tele-
phone pole. He was painfully cut
and bruised, yet managed to get clear
of the wreck and stop runaway
horse which had taken fright at the
accident.
Getting back to Chicago he an
nounced his intention of vindicating
himself by securing a nomination and
election to the Senate by the people
of Illinois, but any activity of this
sort was cut short by an attack of APP
pendicitis, from which he barely
emerged with his life after an opera
ton in November,
Next came the insolvency of the
La Sale Street Trust and Savings
Bank, of which he was the president.
This institution, with its four branches,
had been founded in 1910 by Lorimer
and Charles B. Munday, who became
vice-president and active manager.
Most of the depositors We're hench-
men or followers Of the big boss.
In June, 1914, rumors Of insolvency
started a run on the institution and
the doors We're closed by the State
Banking Department. Examination
showed that about $2,500,000 of assets
were gone, and fourteen persons, in
Guiding Lorimer and Munday, were in
dicted for embezziement and conspir-
acy in the alleged lcoting.
Munday was tried, found guilty and
sentenced to five years in prison
Then. on February 18, 1916, Lorimer
himself was brought to trial after
pleading not guilty to the charges
His counsel declared for him that the
acknowledgement Of Ille bank had been
without his knowledge or suspicion
and that il given time Lorimer him
self would pay all it's indebtness
whether secured or unsecured.
In April the former Senator took
the witness stand in his own behalf
and in the course Of his testimony
declared that when the bank was or
ganized and he himself elected to the
senate in 1910 he had personal assets
of $3.50 900, but TWO years later, after
his disastrous fight in the Senate
found himself flat broke and sd pressed
financially that he had to borrow
$4,000 from a personal friend.
On May 8, after trial lasting five
weeks and after seven hours of de-
Iteration the jury found him not
guilty of the charges of embezzlement
and conspiracy. On hearing the YER
dict he announced that he would first
earn money to pay all his debts and
then seek reelection to the Senate.
He set to worl at once and on July
IL some 1000 of the depositors in his

of Britain and the assurance of personal
well being and safety that this carried
with it.
The beginnings Of the town Of Tel
Aviv are unusually humble and devoid of
all that is miraculous or epical. In the
year 1909 sixty families, composed Of the
overflow of the ancient city of Jaffa,
bought Dunam of land each, or sixty
Dunams in all, in the vacant outskirts
of the town and erected sixty homes
thereon. Their object was firstly to be

wrecked bank, in a mass meeting held
at the First Regiment Armory,
pledged themselves to assist him i'll
his announced plans to reimburse
them every dollar they had lost.
That meeting was the last time he
made a public appearance and one OF
the few times since his debacle that
his name has appeared in the papers
until recently. One brief item on May
rs. 1917, showed how hostile rate
still seemed to be pursuing him by
recording that his right arm had been
broken in three places when the chaln
broke on an edger at which he was
working in a sawmill in Jonesvllle,
Ill
But broken arms could not stop him,
nor could the death of his wife, the
mother of his eight children, winch
occurred about two years later. With
characteristic tenacity of purpose, he
buried himself in the development OF
a lumber enterprise which ne had
started in the South and stuck to 1T
till the business collapsed in 1921 and
left him once more at the end of his
resources. 1t was then he turned to
South America.
Giving his word but rarely and then
keeping it to the limit of it's spirit
had always been one Of his hobbies
from the beginning of his political
career, and his reputation in that ro-
spect probably accounts for his sue
cess in obtaining strong financial
backing for his Colombian adventure.
All his life, also, he has been a man
of austere personal habits, never hav-
ing used tobacco or liquor, and even
refraining from an occasional swear
word.
In his great speech in his own de-
tense before the Senate on February
%, 1911, there are passages which go
far toward revealing the secret of the
tremendous hold he had on the con-
fidence and affection of the people
whose votes he carried in the hollow
of his hand which votes he prob
ably could once more SO carry If he
chose to.

aires receive the right to exploit sew
eral acres of improved petroleum land
along the right of way, and also to
exploit 15 per cent. Of the proved
fields belonging to the nation and con-
trolled by the Government They are
also given the right to develop the
water power resources of the country.
1t is thirteen years now since
charges brought against Lorimer, then
junior United States Senator from Illi-
nois, regarding the way in which he
had secured his seat gave rise to some
of the most dramatic passages in mod
ern political history.
The original circumstances of an
over night switch. after a long dead
lock, to the support of a Republican
candidate Of fifty-three Democratic
votes in the Illinois Legislature was
extraordinary in itself; and this whole
sale shift seemed to receive illumina-
ton afterward by the alleged confess
sion, printed in a Chicago newspaper,
that one Democratic representative
had received $1,000 direct and 5000
more from the splitting of a general
Jackpot In return for his vote.
Several other confessions of similar
tenor followed before the Grand Jury
of Cook county, and at the very hour
when .Lorimer, on the floor of the
Senate in Washington, was speaking
in his own defense and charging his
opponents with a political conspiracy
against him a State Senator of Demo-
cratic faith confessed in Illinois that
he had received $4,000 to vote for the
blond boss"
In Chicago Lee O'Neil Browne was
indicted and tried as alleged toter of
the Lorimer money bag, and the jury
was dismissed after being out for 115
hours in an unsuccessful attempt to
find a verdict.
Meanwhile, in June. 1910. the SEN
ate had appointed special investi-
eating subcommittee of it's own, which
in the fall returned majority report
generating Lorimer of all charges Of
improper election practices, while Sen
ator Beveridge of Indiana put in a
minority report of his own to the OPP
posite effect.
The real conflict came in February,
1911, few days before the close of
the session, when a vote on the adop-
ton of these reports by the Senate
was called for. The debates which
followed brought forth some of the
most notable speeches heard in the
Senate chamber in a generation, espe-
cially Senator Roots speech against
and Senator Bailey's speech for the
seating of Lorimer, and the bosss
outburst in his own defense, which
by its unpublished but effective eIo-
quence brought tears from the eyes
Of several Senators, according to press
reports at the time.

And His Bank Goes TO Wall

But elsewhere the attack on his
election still continued. Col. Roosevelt
had refused to sit with him at a din
ner of the Hamilton Club in Chicago
and from the White House President
Taft expressed equal disapproval
The newspapers Of Chicago kept him
constantly pilloried in their columns
and when Congress met again in the
spring Senator's like Beveridge and
Owen renewed their demands for fur
Their action. Even Senator Bailey, his
principal defender in the first on

ing committee was appointed and

less in apology than in straightfor-
ward explanation he gave brief his
tory of his life. Born in Manchester,
England, he said, he came with his
parents to this country at the age of
5, and when he was 10 his father,
Presbyterian minister, died and the
responsibility of supporting the family
fell upon him. He began by selling
papers and backing boots on the
streets, and was unusually successful,
earning about $40 a week, till his
mother desired him to give up such
work, and he followed various occupa
ton till he was 81 years old.
He worked variously in a laundry,
a coal yard, a packing house and at
sign painting, but on reaching his
majority became a street car con-
ductor, and after saving few hun
dred dollars embarked in business for
himself. Later he was elected a con-
stable and went into dealing in real
estate, subsequently buying an in
terest in a brickyard and entering "A

organized a bank before his election

night, and my mother also helped me-"
On March 2, 1911, the resolution OF
expulsion came to a vote, and the
Senate decided 46 votes to 40, that
Mr. Lorimer had been rightfully
elected and should retain his seat He
returned home four days later, and
