Our good friend, doctor Spitz, kind
ly forwards US weekly a copy of hi;
excellent paper The JetciSh FIce. Hi:
editorials this week are exceptionally
| good, but we think the Rabbi has mis-
quoted the following. although We
| agree with him in the sentiment OF
| same; There is blessing in wealth,
and we do not believe with the ecceu.
trio passage which renders it more diff.
fcult for the rich man to go to heaven
than it is for camel to slip through
the ear of a needle. Carnegie. who
has just given million to ST. Louis
for library purposes. will go to heaven
if st. Louis can help him to it," The
trouble with most writer's 10 using this
quotation is, that they do not go far
enough. The Divine Teacher does
not say that rich man cannot 90 to
heaven, he only wishes to show, 1.-The
things which are impossible with men,
are possible with God" Luke 1S, "a
% reads as follows:
land when Jesus saw that he was
very sorrowful, be said, how hardly
shall they that haye riches enter into
the Kingdom of God!
For it is easier for a camel to go
through a needles eye, than for rich
man to enter into the Kingdom of God
And they that heard it said, who
then can be saved?
And he said, the things that are i'm
possible with men are possible with
God"
At least, Rabbi, there is nothing
said as to the lear" of a needle,
(probably a misprint), but we believe
with you that all good men of every
creed. whether rich or poor, have an
equal chance to enter the Holy City.
Miss Alice Gay is progressing very
nicely with her studies at the Beetho-
ven Conservatory of Music. She has
promised to play several of BeethoVen's
sonatas at our coming rehearsal.
There seems to be greatly diversi-
fed view in the different Democratic
weeklies as to whether or not the Dem
ocratic party should support Rolla
Wells in the coming mayoralty race.
The CoDlnl0ner denounces Mr.. Wells
in no uncertain terms, while the Perry
vile San is equally as strong in his
support. We may be wrong, but there
seems to be a strong undercurrent in
local Republican circles favoring
Chauncey I. Filley and the Good Gov
ernment ticket. Likewise Lee Meri-
wether heading the Municipal Owner
ship ticket will draw heavily from the
Wells vote. The prevailing opinion
is that Parker will be elected, but we
.'can't always sometimes tell"
Conductor E. A. Shourds and wife
have just returned from a months
jaunt through old Mexico. They went
south over the Mexican National from
Laredo, visiting Monterey, San Luis
Potosi, Guadalajara, Cuernavaca, Pu-
eblo, Mexico City, and the ancient
at Guanajuata. At the lat |
ter place Mr.. S. secured an ancient
Aztec mummy, supposed to be thou
sand years old. On one of its wrists |
was a golden bracelet in the shape of
a coiled serpent, of exquisite workman
ship and great value.
The Globe-DemocrGt is so busy puri-
Tying city politics that it has no time |

On an unsnspecting public, this ''bears
5he palm" The writer (D does not
sven go to the trouble of changing the |
authors version, but gives
he story verbatim of ssBig Claus and
Little Claus" by Hans Christian An
lerson, only changing the names. We
nave asked the Globe to set the public
.right, but the editor evidently thinks
n this case that ''Silence is golden"
