Jews in Roumania.

London, October 2o.-The Daily
Mail recently sent correspondent to
Roumania to investigate the Jewish
country there, andIthis morning the pa
per publishes letter from It's repre-
sentative, in which be says that in
Roumania the laws are fair, but that
there is crying injustice in their ap-
plication, or rather their non-applica
tion to the Jews. The Jews, he writes,
are prosecuted not on account of their
religion, but because if they were
nat1ralized and treated Justly they
would own half Of the land, and, in
short, "run'' the country. The coun-
try declares that a large number OF
Roumanian Deputies derive large por-
tions Of their incomes from heavy
bribes on the condition that they will
enable Jews to obtain naturalization

Dear Sir: The writer is seeking a

facilities to st. Louis, is desired.
g The writer has been informed that
good many southern towns are offer

would be quite an inducement TO me.
WouId also prefer to get as close to the

sible, and would prefer to locate in g
town where there is no hosiery mill at
present.
ANY information with which you
can supply the writer will be very
much appreciated, and would mention
that Z can furnish the very highest
class of references.
9sI desire 20 take this matter up
shortly, and would thank you to give

DVN'S WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
End of Coal Strike Will Greatly
Improve Conditions---Rail-
road lnadequately Equip
ped.

New York, Oct. 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co. IS Weekly Review of Trade tonlor-
row viii say:
The settlement Of the coal strike re-
moves the only serious handicap to
industrial progress. Five months OF
restricted fuel production had begun
to check the wheels at many manu-
featuring centres, while there was per
ceptibIe diminution in consumptlve
demand as the purchasing power Of the
wage earners steadily decreased. Saw
ines have been exhausted and much
money has gone out Of the country be-
cause of this struggle, but the nation s
remarkably strong position assures
speedy restoration Of prosperous con
ditions. Transportation is now the
worst feature, and threatens to con
tinue disturbing. While the grain
crops are being moved the supply OF
rolling stock and motive power will
prove insufficient, although every
effort is made at the shops, liberal
premiums being offered for early deilV-
ery. That the railways are we'll eccu-
pied is evidenced by earnings for the
frst week of October, 3. 5 per cent.
i larger than last year and 1919 per
cent. above 1900.
: Large imports have weakened dry
hides. In cotton goods the feature
was purchase Of about ESQ., 600 pieces
of print cloths. While quotations were
not altered the tone became decidedly
6rmer. In other divisions of the mark
ct buyers are only interested in meet
ing current demands, future require
ments being held back by evidences OF
weakness in the raw material:
Failures for the week numbered 206,
against 229 last year.

Marry or Quit.

Much OF trouble aud much OF
lsmentation there are in the Office
OF the Deseret News, go we learn
from Salt Lake dispatch, The
trouble cannot be remedled by a
strike nor by lockout; nor can it
be dealt with by a board OF aibtra-
ton. Therefore the lamentation is
the more bitter and cannot be assu-
aged by swearing.
Trouble OF course is not infrequent
in newspaper offices, though as q
rule there is less Of it in such places
than anywhere else on this mundane
globe, except in the happy homes
whore love abides; but never b,fore
in newspaper Office b . there ever
been such trouble that which
turks within the precincts OF the
News and haunts the hearts OF those
who work for it.
According to the story that comes
to us the cause OF the trouble is
this: The Deserst News is the Off
cial organ of this Mormon churc1 in
Salt Lake, and recently a decree
has gone forth from the church
authorities thai all male employees
of the News shall be married by the
close of next June or hand in their
designations. Ii is case OF double
or quit" with new significance
There is no wager about it and no
chance to win.
Our report says that the News,
10 addition 10 employing the num-
Der of men required to get cut an
afternoon paper, operates also job
office, bindery and bookstore. 1t
employs all told about 100 men, and
it seems that considerable percent
age of them ara not married nor are
thsy matTimonialiy inclined. 1t is
hard to hustle for wife even when
Que is stimulated by the sweet iufu-
ences OF rapturous early love, but
harder still to hustle when the heart
is like lead and the pocket lighter
than bubble in the moment when
it is ready to burst at the slighte't
touch. Pity, then, the sorrows OF
the Deseret mon.
Il might bs supposed that in a
case OF this kind man not inclined
to cou.t might appeal to the courts
but no. Such an appeal does not
lie. Even if it did the recourse
would be vain, for Chicago Judge
has just decided that any man with
$25 in his pocket is able to marry
There is nothing, then, for the New:
men to do but to go forth aud hunt
up girl or new job
We are too far from the scene Of
the struggle to undertake to fc.s
cast the result, but it seems certain
that next June either the News will
suspend publication or else the vel
kin above Salt Lake will ring will

when the first June buds begin t
bloom until they culminate in th,
voluptuous roses OF July. AnC
