Rock Island, Oct. 16.-Editor AR
GUS: The editor Of the Rock Island
Repu blican has low estimate, it ap-
pears, not only of the Jews moral
worth, but. what is less popular, even
of their intelligence. At any rate,
he seems to think that garbled YER
sion of his editorial, with the main
slur against the "yedisher clothing
business" ETC., carefully ignored,
will serve him quite sufficiently as an
apology. Let him not deceive himself.
No one has mistaken an impudent at
tack, prompted by an un-American
and iutolerant spirit, for any argu-
ment-
The utter puerility of his more
or less "delicately" yelled innuendOs
makes it useless to discuss the sub.
stance of his epistle to the Germans
anent the jew. Indeed, it were an
impertinence in this closing year of a
great century that has made for uni
versal tolerance and hrotherly love,
30 cali the attention of a cultured
com N unity to the platitude that gem
tiemanliness is dependent not on ones
racial origin, not on ones calling and
belief, but rather on ones approxima-
ton 70 certain standards of justice,
righteousness and truth.
But in a country where the price of
liberty of expression is eternal vigil
lance. it is oftentimes necessary to
take exceeding care lest men of mar
row souls and bigoted spirit usurp
the high places of our land and poison
the wells of popular knowledge and
public opinion. But we have faith
that the spirit Of true Americanism
will justly censure men so permeated
with ignoble spite and race hatred
that in their eyes a Jew, to-Whose
people the world owes the idea of one
God. from whose ancestors came one
of the worlds greatest moral teach
ers, cannot be gentleman.
