how little they understand the industrial

ETIQUETTE AND THE SUPREME COURT

mo rules of etiquette require man while eating in
socaled quick lunch take off his over

down by supreme justices. New York man en-
terng quick lunch took his coat and hat
and hung them UP. When he ready to leave he
found that both stolen He sued the proprietor
the restaurant for the loss and the was appealed
HE claimed that politeness compelled him to take
off his hat and But the justices decided that ETH
quette- does not compel to be polite in a quick
lunch restaurant.
The decision of the justices is surprising one
Indeed, instead of establishing precedent they have
merely given the stamp of legal approval to what has
become in this age of haste understood custom In
New York, at least, the etiquette book covering
smaller and smaller For long while it has left
out upper Fifth at least has
to the jewellers thereon for if you dine west of Central
park you privileged to the napkins the floor
and give other evidences of untrammeled freedom
And now the decision of the supreme court Judges
bars the etiquette book from the business section Of
course this leaves few people in New York from whom
politeness still be expected But never hearing any
thing about them it not probable that they will affect
the reputation of the city If poor New York
he dimes with his hat his head if he is rich he dimes
Bw1th his elbows the table The poor mans action is
the least reprehensb If he removes his hat he stands
to lose it. There is, however, no Justification for the
rudeness OF the rich But the decision of the supreme
judges has given, in way, the stamp of approval to
BOTH 1t sanctions rudeness least and places no val
uation on the little decences of life.

ANNIVERSARIES AND DIVORCES.

Since Jan. T. in ST. Paul. at least twenty-five couples
have celebrated their silver wedding anniversaries
which that they have been twenty-five
years married. least twelve have celebrated their
golden wedding anniversaries, which that they
have been fifty years married. We say "at least for
the only of these that be obtained is the
counts that published in the daily newspapers.
Doubtless many couples since the Ist of jan
uary have celebrated together the twenyfth anniver
sary of their married lives and probably more than
twelve have passed together the feth mile stone. But
even these numbers doubled they would not look
imposing when placed beside the divorces that have been
granted in ST. Paul in the period of time; though
when considers that men and of today mar
ry much later in life than did their parents and grand
and when also considers that death has

of such anniversaries, the figures do prove
sarily that the majority of marriages failures
But finer lesson be taught the rising genera
tion none, least, which apt force upon real
ization that the tie which binds sacred than that
which is learned by attending of those anniversary
celebrations. To venerable couple receiving
gratulaons from their children and their childrens chill
dren is to be convinced that life means something
than personal qualification; that marriage
too sacred to be destroyed for petty whi be-
of some trifng dispeasure.
And because prevents the celebration of such ami
versaries must question the wisdom of late mar,
riages. The girl who marries in her teens the young
who weds in the early twentes, stand much better
chance of nassng the twenty fifth and the fftieth mile
stone of their married lives together than the and
woman who marry late in life when habits have beeone
fixed and selhshness. ngraned. H'1
The number of marriages contracted in ST. Paul This
June has been unusually large but Also have been the
divorces. And foretel1 how many of those
contracts which supposed to be made in heaven will
Be unmade in the courts of law very small per
doubtless will reach the dignity of silver anniversary
and still smaller cent the dignity of goldenwed-

But if the and who today pronounce so
gby their marriage would have in mind the keep

sonal dignity and personal independence would seem m
important things when they asserted themselves SO I'M
duly that they threatened to seriously interfere with the
keeping of such a tryst.

RACIAL PREJUDICEs.

The Grand Duke Vladimir of Russia, commenting on
the persecution of the Jews Russia says that the at
tude of the Russian to the Jew is analogous to the posi-
ton occupied by the whites of the United States toward
the negro He attributes the outbreaks IN winch the
Jews have suffered much prejudice rather than
religious.
His argument is no more sound than his premise IS
correct when he points similarity of conditions III
the United States and in Russia 1t is not the blood OF
the Russian that rebels against the presence OF an ae
race 1t is the religious intolerance which IS the Keystone
of Greek orthodoxy that is at the bottom of the anti
semitism of the Russian Centuries of oppression has
made the Muscove to feel that the Jew something TO
be despised That he meek and seldom capable OF re-
sstng brutal treatment has made the Russian to feel
that the Jew is fair subject upon which to vent his bru-
tally The hatred of the Jew is kept alive by absurd
stories told of his religious practices The Kishenev mas
precpitaed by the spreading of story that
Christian child had been abducted to be murdered IN car
rying Jewish ceremonial In the middle ages the
story told by fanaca leaders who lusted for
the property of the Jews and sought to possess them
selves of by killing the possessors. The myth is re-
lgousy believed by the unenghtened people of Russia
and is frequently made the pretext for Jew batting.
There nothing of prejudice in the matter at all
The Jew of Russia is not unlike, except i'll religion,
the people among whom he dwels. He nearer to
assimilation with the Russian than with any other dis
tinct nationality The Russian Jew is quite generally of
the blonde type and readily be distinguished by his
appearance from his Russian neighbor. By his religion
and habit rather than by his racial characteristics he

The prejudice against the negro held by the whites
of this country not general Where it exists very
largely racial prejudice In the South, where is most
common born of of superiority that is not
to be wondered at The negro not only alien, But
a member of slave His subsection made him to
be despised, but he is generally regarded by the de-
scendants of his former with goodnatured but
contemptuous Indifference. He is not prosecuted On
the other hand he's given employment and encourage
ment He is not disked.
Theye is analogy between the status of the Jew in
Russia and the negro in the United States. Where the
latter is the object of prejudice there something of the
of superiority of dominant in the feeling Of
the white man. This cannot be the case in Russia for
the Jew equal in blood and the superior ninteHgence
of the Russian.
