It is pointed out aa true that although tlie leaders of the movement have been laboring assiduously for n.sny years to rehabilitate the Hebrews again into a nation, and there have been a number of congresses to bring it about, nothing definite has been accomplished. It is BHld that, in view of the de- velopments through the present congress. those who have hitherto cast doubt upon the scheme will rally to the standard of the leaders, creating a solidarity so powerful in numbers and wealth that success will be assured.

Wisconsin's two-cepassenger fare bill, passed by the legislature and signed by Governor Davidson last month in spite of a deluge of protests from politicians and others, becomes effective tomorrow'. The rate to be established by the legislative enactment applies to earning (8,500 or more ier mile per annum. Nine roads are affected, including the Chicago A Northwestern, the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul, the Chicago. St. Paul, Minneapolis A Omaha. the Chicago, Burlington A Quincy, the Wisconsin Central, the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Sault Ste Marie, Kewaunee, Green Pay A Western, Drummond A Southwestern and the Northern Pacific. There are three Important roads In Wisconsin which will not come within the limit. These are the Illinoie Central. the Duluth, South Shore A Atlantic and the Green Bay A Western. As reported, all of these earn less than (8.500 per mile annually on their lines within the state. The passenger fare situation will not be greatly changed by the new bill, as the great bulk of traffic within the state has been carried for I cents or less pt-mile, although the maximum rate has been 8 cents, aa determined by the commission and acceded to by the roads. nt r 1- -8 MONTANA BANKERS IN SESSION.
