The Jewish outlook., 1905-11-24

say, that the Jews OF to-day are OF the
same belief and the same spirit, and
would cruelty Christ again if he came
to earth and they had the power. Such
talk doesn't account for the dislike OF
the Jews by Christians; it only expresses
it. Such expressions, however, serve to
keep the hatred alive, in the way Of fur
nishing an excuse for it that the young
may seize upon. Awhile ago l found in
a school book an allusion to the cruel
fixion of Jesus, phrased as ''the great
est crime recorded in history" or words
to that effect. Why the greatest crime?
Without doubt the thought was that Je-
sus was God and to cause his death was
a greater crime than any possible or
fense against man could be. But ra-
tional thought should enter into even
conception Of the matter based upon SUI
pernatural facts-if such facts there be.
And if the death of the son Of God was
essential to the reconciliation Of God and
the world, and the forgiveness of sins
Inherited from Adam, then whoever
helped to bring about the tragedy OF
Calvary should be regarded as merely
an instrument in the hands OF that d.
vine Providence Of Love which wrought
the salvation Of the world by such
means. If the cross upon which Jesus
was crucifed became a venerable and
holy thing, why should not the people
who made the cross be reverenced also?
Faith in the supernatural, however, flows
in tortuous channels which reason can
not follow. The gospel story OF the
death Of Jesus no doubt does something
to keep alive the feeling Of dislike OF
Jews 1t is unreasonable, but feelings
often are without any rational justifica-
ton, especially among ignorant people.
1t is among the most ignorant Chris
tians of the world that hatred OF the
Jews as such blazes most fercely. The
crimes against the Jews in Russia are
in one sense disgrace to humanity but
more accurately they are chargeable to
the empire in which so little was done
during the last century or two to edu-
cate the common people, so much less
than was done in other parts OF the
world.
In those countries where popular ed
ucation has proceeded farthest the Jews
have received best treatment. The
Christian prejudice which is really my
theme, having no rational foundation,
must inevitably disappear as Christians
become more rational. The rivalry OF
ancient times before kings and emper-
ors, a rivalry for favor, race to escape
prosecutions, may now happily give way
to friendly emulation in good works and
in loyalty to the government Of a COM

COMMENT s. BOWLING 8 RACING ATHLETICS BOXING
BRITT DID NOT ASK
NELSON TO LAY DOWN

SAN FRANCISCO, March 24.-Empha-
tic denial Is made by Jimmy Britt and
his brother Willie to the charge made
by Billy Nolan, manager of Battling
Nelson, that Willie Britt refused to
post forfeits for the Brftt-Nelson fight
unless Nelson would agree to LAY
down" So intense is the feeling on the
part of the coast pugilist that another
match with the Chicagoan now seems
inevitable
This is the statement which Nolan
says Willie Britt made: Nelson will
have to agree to quit or else there Will
be no fight, as far as the Britts are
concerned.
1T is contemplate, malicious lie. a
piece of spite work. is the answer Of
Jimmy Britt. 'tNolan's fighter is
punching bag. 1 can lick him at any
time"
This is the blacklist of lies. Nolan
should not be listened to- says Willie
Britt.
Nolan does not mince terms in making
his assertions. He calls a spade
spade
1T is not a bonus which is standing
in the way of the Nelson-Britt fight
he says. bit 1t Is the fact that Nelson
refuses to lay down to Britt
Following this, Nolan descanted on
Nelson's ability to make Britt look like
a 'two-spot' If they ge. in the ring
again, and defies James Edward to
come on ana take chance on an even
break with a referee who will allow the
Dane to, fight according TO the rules.

Auspicious Opening
OF Spring Meeting
Record Breaking Crowd at Benning YeSter-
day Afternoon to See First Races-fiandI-
cap Winner Bred by Belmont

Benning had an especially suspicious
opening day.
The sun, which was hid behind gloomy
skies all morning, peeped out just before
the running OF the Benning Spring
Handicap, and the last half of the days
program was run in perfect spring
weather. The attendance was the larger
by about 1000 persons than the best pre-
vious record of an opening day in the
spring Invariably the Benning meeting
opens either on Monday or in midweek'
and no meeting has ever scored Its rec
ord crowd on opening day. Saturday or
a national holiday are the big days at
Benning
Not only was there a bumper attend
ance but everything passed OF as
smoothly as if the racing had been gong
on for a week instead of just taking UP
the broken threads after long season
of inactivity. The contests were Keen.

not started the mare also; lie THINKS
if he had done SO he could have cor
rallied the entire purse.
Toscan. the winner, was bred by
August Belmont at his Nursery stud in
Kentucky. His first race was over the
Bennipg course three years ago. he
was sold by Mr.. Belmont to the CO.
lumbia Stable owned by Samuel Ross,
a Washingtonian. Last spring here he
was claimed out of a selling race by
James Blute. He later became the
property of L. A. Whitney. in whose
name he ran and won yesterday Be
cause he was well and favorably known
here there was a strong local sentiment
in favor of Toscan, and his victory was
popular one.
Benning being the opening of the East
ern season usually springs some sort of
an innovation. Last season the print

Jockey Club officials took the initiative
In the matter. and threw a bomb into
the camp of these gentry by announc-
ing that they would not be permitted
to do business here. Many were the
prophecies made as to the success OF the
new plan. For the benefit of those who
were not present to watch the effect
of the new order, it may be said in all
truth that it worked beautifully. The
patrons of the grandstand were no
longer hustled around and knocked
about by the hungry horde Of ill-manner-
ed ruffians wanting to place a wager
for them Yet, there was no incon-
venience to the patrons. Now everyone
is wondering if the plan will be con-
tinued at the New York tracks. If 1t
continues to be the solving of a Vexed
question that the first day indicates, 1t
will be- there Is little doubt that New
