He has done yeoman service to his
country both as an author of humanitarian tales and as the
mouth-piece of Russia's public conscience. After the government
some time ago suppressed the magazine "Russian Wealth" which
Korolenko had edited, he retired to the city of Poltava, in the
South, and in late years his appearance in print has been a rare
event. He was born in 1853._
MR. JACKSON'S OPINION ON THE JEWISH QUESTION
BY VLADIMIR KOROLENKO
One of the most intelligent though not one of the most profound
opinions about the Jewish question I happened to hear from a chance

nevertheless this opinion is recalled to me on various occasions--very
frequently in these days.
It was in 1904. Together with a fellow countryman, also a man of
letters, I was travelling aboard a steamer of the Anglo-American
Company, "Cunard." Our cabin was small and narrow.
