The following beautiful tribute to the .lew ia from a speech delivered in the U. S. Senate a few weeks ago by Senator Reed, of Missouri, opposing tho literary clause of tho immigration bill then pending in that body— ‘Consider the Jew! ‘Seek the source of the century-old horrors he has endured and you will enter the cavern of ignorance where dwells the serpent of superstition and its pestilential offspring, persecution. ‘The Jew has been, and in some places still is, an outcast simply and only because he has steadfastly refused to abandon the God of his fathers. ‘For this, three thousand years ago were his burdens in Egypt made great er than he could bear. For this were his cities burned, the walls of his capi tal razed, his temples destroyed, his altars desecrated, his people slaugh tered; for this waB he carried into cap tivity by Syrian and Babylonian des pots, his land reduced to a desert sown with the bones of murdered mil lions. Yet, in spite of all, for fifteen hundred years the Jew clung to the horns of his altar, cherished his temple, and reverenced his God. “For fifteen centuries the world was enveloped in the night of bigotry, ig norance, and terror—a night illumined by a single torch of truth, held aloft by the hand of the Jew. “The Jew alone during all that peri od of terror, vice, tyranny, despair and loathsome idolatry, taught the doctrine of one Supreme God. He alone fol lowed a code of laws which embraced every principle essential to liberty, morality, and religion. His laws and his religion were to those of the other nations ofThe earth as a star of inde scribable glory shining through the clouds of a storm-rent Bky upon a sea of blood. “Then came the dawn of Christ! anity, but its glory fell first upon the land of the Jew. The God mother was a Jewess. The Twelve Desciples were Hebrew fishermen who spread their nets along the shores of the sea of Galilee. “From this race we get our religion, from its sacred writings our morals. It preserved the greater part of our knowledge of ancient history. The sub- limest examples of sacred poetry and the tenderest expressions of exalted devotion fell from the pens of inspired Jews. “Obliterate the work of the Jew be fore the Christian era and you destroy the old Bible and the Ten Command ments. Strike out the work of the Jew of the Christian era and you ob literate the New Testament. “Your religion, the fundamentals of your laws, your ideas of virtue, your precepts of morality—all these you get from the Jew. From the lips of the son of a Jewess came the sublime com mand, ‘Do unto others aB you would they should do unto you.’ “If you say some of the Jews cruci fied the Savior, I answer it was also Jews who followed Him to Cavalry. It was a Jew who drew the nails from the cross. It was Jews who reverently bore the body to the sepulcher. It was Jews who‘awaited the glory of the resurrection. It was Jews to whom He appeared; with whom He walked and talked. “It was these same Jews who went into all the world teaching His word. They were beaten; they were impris oned; they were fed to wild beasts by those they came to save. They gave their lives to the propagation of Chris tianity. The race has ever since been persecuted by those whom a part of the race converted. “But as civilization has iprogreased, as the lighi of reason has penetrated the night of ignorance, as man haH emerged from the jungles of barbar ism and approached the sun-lit plains of civilization, persecution of the Jew has lapsed or ceased. Only Russia and one or two others of the tardy nations continue the diabolic practice. Let us not become either assistants or parties to the infernal policy. “If you were to name the ten great est statesmen of the century, you would be compelled to include tho elder Disraeli, an English Jew. “If you were to name the ten great est judges, you would include in the list a Jew, Rufus Daniel Isaacs, Lord Chief Justice of England. “If you were to think of great law yers of the century, your mind would call up the name Juda P. Benjamin, Attorney-General of the Confederacy, and remember him as a Jew. "If you were asked to name the fore most actress of the world, you would instantly think of Surah Bernhardt, a French Jewess. “If you were asked to call the name of a master of music, you would re member Anton Rubenstein. “If you were to pursue your inquiry, you would find that in law, medicine, literature, scienco, philanthropy, art and in business tho Jew has hold his own with competitors of every rnce. “Let me quote you the words of Joa quin Miller: *' ‘Who tmiRht you tender Hible tnlos Of honey IiuuIh, of milk and wine? Of happy, peaceful l'uleatiue? Of Jordnn’a holy harvest vnlen? Who Rave the patient Chriat? I aav Who Rave your Christian creed? Yen; yes; Who Rave your very (Jod to you? Your Jew! Your Jew! Your hated Jew!’ ” Loosen Up. Do you want to see a wave of pros perity strike this community and push everything along in front of it? Then open your wallet and loosen up! Don't content yourself with tolling the other fellow to do it, but do it your self. Imagination plays a mighty big part in our scheme of life, and to a very large extent we havo been afflicted in late montliB with an aggravated case of imaginitis. Some one got out in the street and yelped “hard times,” and immediately the cry was taken up and handed from lip to lip until it really began to assume a semblance of truth. And then everybody commenced to tighten the strings to their purses; pen nies and dollars were herded and with drawn from circulation; buying lagged, and apprehension stalked abroad. People imagined we were in the midst of hard times. The fact that the community held just as much money as ever before waB entirely overlooked. The fact that our exports, with the possible exception of cotton in Southern States, were as iieavy as before, was also forgotten. Money continued to come into the community from outside sourceB, but it was promptly hidden away instead of being placed in circulation through the usual.business channels. Pe'simists barked on every corner, calamity howlers were in their ele ment, and even sane men commenced to worry. And all because some fellow opened his mouth and yelled "hard times." But let’s put an end to the farce. Let’s do our spring buying early—let’s do much of it now—let’s pull our money out of its hiding-places and put it to work where it will be of use to our selves and to the community. And let’s buy our goods from our home merchants -from those who have borne their brunt of the so-called hard times—from people we know and whom wo know we can trust. Let’s trot out Old Man Prosperity and give him the front seat, and then let’s all go to work and keep him there. Imagination haB been worked to a frazzle. Now let’s have a dose of common sense, and the imaginary malady will soon cease to exist. Let’s loosen up. The New Cook. The “lady of the houBe,” who had been wrestling with the servant prob lem for several years, recently took a new departure with the hope of solv ing the riddle, says the Washington Star. She imported a young colored girl from one of the lower counties of Virginia, with the determination to do or die in the attempt to model her into an accomplished cook, at least. The usual hitches and disappointments oc curred and the task proved a most try ing one. The housekeeper persevered, however, until the climax materialized a few days ago. Entering the kitchen one afternoon the lady of the house in quired: “Mollie, have you cooked the mac aroni?” “What’s macaroni!” the importation from the country wanted to know. “Why, here it is,” the employer ex plained, indicating the raw material. “What does you do wid dat?” the girl then asked. “Eat it, of course,” was the reply. “Good laws,” Mollie ejaculated. “I thought that stuff was what you sucks medicine frough.” The Legacies of Militarism. Atlanta Journnl. The London Economist estimates that the first seven months of the war have added to the debts of the five great belligerents a total of more than ten billion dollars, of which two and a half billion each is borne by Russia and Germany, one billion eight hundred million each by France and Austria- Hungary, and one and a half billion by Great Britain, It is calculated, more over, that if tho war continues through tho current year the debts of these na tions on January the first, 1916, will be: Russia, $9,600,000,000; Germany, $7,- 600,000,000; France, $11,000,000,000; Austria-Hungary, $6,600,000,000; and Great Britain, $7,800,000,000—a total of $42,600,000,000. What a fearful burden for tho people of Europe! What a terrible tax on the mass of men by whose hard earnings tho weight of this vast debt must be lifted! For years the cost of war prep aration has been well-nigh unbearable; and now the cost of war itself threatens to be overwhelming. To the victors, it will bo heavy enough, whatever their requitals; to the vanquished it will be almost fatally crushing. Whether or not the economic folly of war will lead eventually to universal and enduring peace, it seems certain that in the dark aftermath of this war the people of Europe will think more intently and profoundly than ever be fore upon the tragic issue of militarism. Through poverty and suffering, they will come face to face with the fright ful legacies of war. They will learn that the horror of the battlefield is merely a prologue to innumerable other horrors that will come and linger when the fighting is over. It will only be naturul if the war is followed by revo lutions, of one kind or another, against the tyranny of great armaments. To the Housewife. Madam, if your husband is like moBt men he expects you to look after the health of yourself and children. Coughs and colds are the most common of the minor ailments most likely to lead lo serious diseases. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when it has a cold. If you will inquire into the merits of the va rious remedies that are recommended for coughs and colds, you will find tbit Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy stands high in the estimation of the people who use it. It is prompt and effectual, pleasant and safe to take, which are qualities especially to be desired when a medicine is intended for children. For sale by all dealers. The Old Songs. Cincinnati Timea-Star. According to a recent order of the State Board of Administration the pu pils of the public schools of Kansas are to have a unique May-day celebration. The first day of the month they are to raise their voices in the old-fashioned songs. There is nothing the matter with Kansas in this latest idea. We are, of course, a little partial to old things. Time endows the past with a certain glamour. For instance, the “pies that mother used to make” is a tribute more to old-fashioned mother hood than the pies. The pies that are gone, with their indigestible qualities forgotten, any reputable baker of to day could easily surpass. But the old songs remain in greater or less degree of popularity, and we know that they are superior to the present product of hurried tempo and equally hurried com position. The Kansas idea is worth copying. Indeed, it would be highly educational. It would teach the child that there is such a thing as melody— a quality that has disappeared in our weltering mass of syncopation. The true law, everywhere and at all fimes, delighteth in the payment of just debts. Blessed is the man that pays. The practice of paying promptly, and to the last cent, tendB to the culti- nation of one of the most excellent traits of human character. If the debtors were guided by their own true interest, on an enlarged scale, they would be even more clamorous to pay than creditors are to receive; lenders would be more frequent than calls for money. Debt is the source of much unhappi ness. The best possible thing to be done with a debt is to pay it.—Judge Logan E. Bleckley. CAN YOU DOUBT IT? so Easily When the Proof Can Be Investigated.
