THEODORE DREISER

He grimaced, “Some little squeak is
always interpreting the law, to get
some poor devil into jail—and to keep
him there without rhyme or reason.
It’s a shame to seize any man and toss
him into jail. We’re always yelling
about the Constitution. But the ones
who make the loudest noise are usually
those who misinterpret it for their
own ends. The American people have
lost interest. Seeking for power, for
individual glory and hyper-comfort
they are neglecting the things for
which the great idealists who made this
country pay so dearly. And Jews, the
lawgivers; Jews, vehicle of the law, are
found, nearly every man-jack of them,
among this indifferent, careless mob.
That’s a great shame. You ought to
change it. What this country needs is
a change of heart, a change of ideas.
What we want is ideals, and not bluff!
We’re ignoring the great principles
which make happiness in life assured
and possible. For one thing we’re
each seeking a justice which is for the
one, as against the all. It’s a pitiful
thing 1 Organized society isn’t function
ing. Organized society means every
body. Organized society implies that
every man should get a ‘break’ and
not one or just a few.
"Organized religion is in the way of
progress. Dogmatic ideas, sectarian
ism are a square, impassable barrier
upon the road of human progress. 1
hope to Hell that dogmatic religion
is breaking down.
“If it is necessary for men to meet
and declare their collective reverence
for the great forces of nature with
which they are poetically impressed,
it is well that they should meet upon
the platform of a creed which is in
tegral with actuality, which is not in
the way of progress; but beyond and
an index to progress!
“Personally, it appeals to me to do
these things privately!”

Austrian Socialist Chief Says
Rich Austrian Jews Prefer
Class Protection to
Race Protection
New York.—The Jewish bankers and
big industrialists in Austria seem to pre
fer the protection of their class rather
than their race, for they do not hesitate
to give their financial support to the
obviously anti-Semitic Austrian-Fascist
organization, “Heimwehr,” was the state
ment made by Robert Danneberg, pres
ident of the Viennese Landtag, after his
arrival in this country.
I)r. Danneberg, who is himself a Jew,
heads a party of eighty-nine socialists

We’re ’way behind on letters, chil

straightened out again. I have several
nice ones from Rebecca and Lillian
Michael, Joseph Greenbaum, Carolyn
Basch and Henrietta Kaufman, but I
think that some of them will have to

writing—I do enjoy your letters.
Here is Joseph’s note:
Dear Sister Miriam:
I like the Girl Scout story. I am a
Boy Scout and we think Girl Scouts
are fine, otdy they can’t do as many
things as boys.
We go on overnight hikes lots in
the summer and I can pitch a tent am
cook a whole meal over a campfire
But, believe me, I wouldn’t want to
cook at home—that’s no fun.
Sincerely,
JOSEPH GREENBAUM.

“MOTHER MINE”
Mother Mine, you are my inspiration
You are so dear and sweet;

With a love that is very sincere.
You have nursed me from babyhood.
Never one minute are you no

Dearly do I honor and lo\< >
You are so very kind.
You have kept me tenderly
And watched me grow eai i > ta
You are everlasting sweet
You listen to my joys and sorrow

Keep you ever in my numt
