United States as q new Weltmacht the
co-operation OF Great Britain and the
United States in Samoa and the war in
South Africa, which has had much 10 do
with the conception of the plan. The al
ticle says
Recent misuse of power by two great
nations toward weaker the sudden
growth of some nayies. the prevention
of intervention of European Powers in
favor of a weaker by the aid of enormous
sea power OF one nation and the impos-
sibility of European Interference when
America took not only the West Indian.
but also the Aslatic possessions Of SPAIN
are sufficient reasons for a much larger
German navy"
The article is Of special interest. be
cause it was inspired, and seems to be
an admission of what official Germany
has all along denied. viz; The existence
OF a strong desire to interfere with the
United States last year and with Great
Britain this year. which was only curbed
by the potent consideration that Germany
did not have navy large enough TO carry
out her desire.
The news OF the British reverscs and
losses has been received in Germany with
less demonstrations of joy than might
have been expected from previous express
sions. The mistakes and shortcomings Of
the British preparations are pointed out
with much vigor By the press strategists
and military writers. but the other news
papers comment on the weeks events
fairly.

Malicious wit.


Washington Post.
Jokes that are intended to cater to race
prejudice and to foster views or impress
sions that are inimical to and brutally un.
just toward any element of the population
of this country are sort OF pleasantly
from which the humorous papers might
we'll abstain, and the circulation of which
in other papers 1t were better to abandon.
wit that requires malice for its splicing
is sort of humor that should be discour-
aged. Wit that cruelty, meanly, and brutal
ly stabs a race Is an abomination. Here is
q sample Of that sort of alleged fun:
THROWING AWAY NO CHANCES.
Mrs. Isaacstein-Fader, Solly is out in
der yard, blaying NIT pox of matches"
"Mr. Isaacstein (angrily)-Tell him to
come right in der store, dis minute!"-
Puck.
The point of this joke, if it have point,
Is the insinuation that the Jew is more
likely than another man to cheat insur-
ance companies. Because of the prevalence
OF this impression such paragraphs as we
have quoted are constantly being ground
out and are reproduced in hundreds of
papers to the painful annoyance Of thous-
ands Of law abiding and God-fearing Cit
liens. 1t is true that many fires occur in
stores occupied by Jews. But do those who
notice and comment on such incidents ever
try to find reason for them that is not
condemnatory Of race? Are they not too
ready to accept a theory that has grown
out of old world and old-t time prejudice and
has no place in this age and country? Is
there any reason to believe that, in proper
tion to their respective numbers, the Jews
in trade have more suspicious or criminal
fires than merchants Of other nationalities?
The Jews take to trade as naturally as
ducks to water. Is this discredtable TO the
race? Is 1t not, on the contrary, proof Of
the possession OF qualities which, in other
races, command respect? Inasmuch as
many thousands OF stores in tho United
States are owned by Jews, there must be
good many fires in stores owned by Jews.
1t is high time for the press of this coun-
try to lift itself out of the vile habit of
perpetrating malicious jokes on race
that las deserved no malice at our hands.
The Jews have borne an honorable part
in our history from the colonial era to
this day. In war and in peace, in statecraft.
in science, in literature. and the arts-in
all that has built UP and strengthened this
Republic-the Jew has done his part WHY
should he be outraged in drama, slandered
in romance, yilified in alleged humor?
Why can't we leave all that to the anti
Semitic gangs In continental Europe?

Walter Rothschild, the eldest son OF
Lord Rothschild Of Tring Park, now 30
years old, and the successor in parlia-
ment OF Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild,

work on the avifauna OF Laysan.
General John NJ. Palmer, who ran for
president in 1896, is So years old, and has
permanently lost the sight of his right eye.
His hearing is also affected, and, as he is
unable to continue his law practice, his
friends have asked Senator Cullom to Sc
cure the passage of bill by congress
which will award him pension of 500 a
month.
Mrs. Antonio Terry, Sibyl Sanderson that
was, now that she has fully recovered her
health, will probably return to the oper-
attic stage. One reason for this is her ma
tural desire to win back the place she held
in the hearts of the Paris public. mora
potent reason is that her husbands estate
is not nearly so great as was thought. He
was extrayagant. and the Cuban war made
great threads on it. She can expect moth
ing from his mother, who regards her with
great disfavor.

men to each lady. The fair golfers were
armed with golf bags. To their partners
they gave the choice of being caddies, and
presented the bags for them to carry while
they danced with new partner. The old

dance, and it was most amusing In fact,
the ball was so late that dancing did not
cease until after 3 o'clock.
