THE HEBREW FARMERS, * The Jewish farmers of America held their third national convention in New York last week and it was a most in- leresting event to our Hebrew cit- izens. Speaking of the meeting Mayor Gay- nor of New York said: “There is no reason why the Jews should not be farmers.

He does not think that the law should be repealed, but should be supple- mented with clear definitions of the character of the transactions which are in violation of the law. Of the Sherman law, he says: “But now that the anti-trust act is seen to be effectlve for the accom- plishment of the purpose of its en- sctinent, we are met by a cry from many different quarters for its repeal. It is sald to be obstructive of busi- ness progress, to be an attempt to re- store old-fashioned methods of de- structive competition between gmall units, and to make impossible those useful combinations of capital and the reduction of the cost of production that are essential to continued pros- rerity and normal growth. “In the recent decisions the su- rreme court makes clear that there is notking in the statute which con- demns combinations of ‘capital or mere bigness of plant organized to secure economy in production and a reduction of its cost. It is only when the pur- pose or necessary effect of the organ- ization and maintenance of the com- bination of the aggregation of immense sige are the stifling of competition, actual and potential, and the enhan- cing of prices and establishing a mo- their attention to farming have done well. Tha Hebrews understand the value of these great meetings and an inter- change of ideas upon the most profit- able course in agriculture to pursue. They are redeeming much of the im- poverished land hereabouts and mak- ing mos: creditable progress. REED SMOOT’'S VIEW. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah is.prin- cipally known in all civilized coun- tries as the man who had a petition signed Lv women only, which was ten miles in length, presentes! for his re- moval because he was a Mormon. He appears to be a man of ability, how- ever, and one who also has the cour- age of his opinions. Just al present he is viewing con- gress with distrust—does not believe that the present session is going to be fruitful of results. He believes congress will play politics from be- ginning to end in an effort to dis- credi. the president and put the re- publicarn. party “in a hole” The in- surgents are not campaigning for principle, but for offices. Practizally every conspicuous insurgent is a can- didate for something or other, and as Senator Smoot says, “business has been made the football of political demagogues and the modern four- flusher.” The Bulletin hopes Senator Smoot’s fears are not well founded.
