Show THE CZAR it is telegraphed has refused his sanction to the recommendation recom-mendation of the St Petersburg commission te consider the case of the Jews in Russia that the Hebrews He-brews be compelled to leave the rural ru-ral districts Ostensibly the suggestion sug-gestion of the commission was in the interest of protecting protect-ing the Jews but the carrying carry-ing into effect of the recommendation recommenda-tion would have resulted simply in driving one million of those persecuted perse-cuted people froti their homes without with-out affording them any better protection pro-tection than they now enjoy If the government cannot resist the mobs and prevent violence in the country they certainly cannot do it in the cities where the hatred of Jews is just as strong as in the rural districts dis-tricts There are three million Jews in Russia Their only offense seems to be that they are descendants descend-ants of Abraham As that circumstance circum-stance does not happen to be a crime in the United States and as the American Hebrew is a pretty good citizen the hated race had better Jeave Russia and make this country their Jerusalem for a few generations genera-tions at least |
