 was ever a character, by paragraph ar ar cartoonist more ridiculed. humil- lated. ostracised than the Jew NO mere money grubber ne Who gave God and a moral code to the world anu suffered and bled on every battlefield ot bumsn thought. None knows better than he the uselessness of hoarded gold. of honor bought from those who charge tha ,,s,iry of self-respect, than he-the exiied creditor of kings. Without sent iment, indeed---he who gives ms ire TOT an ideal. and holds high above all other things,-high as Hopes great 'n1ooSS .ho Saas star above the darkness and the dead the love of wife and child and friend
 The Jew i'm Business.
 NThe Jew is inscrupulous in busl- ness? Is he? Were you ever taken III by a Methodist class leader In real estate trade? Did you ever get lnto elose quarters with & Presbyterian spec uIator? Did YOU never buy bank stock on ths representation of an Episcopa- Han broker? Did you ever take man word quicker because he was bdpIisl or a Romaa Catholis? Did you ever see a stone weighing twenty pounds con coaled in a bale of cotton grown oy a lard in butter sold by New Engiaho puritan3

 The Jew has ever been distinct moral asset in American life. The aImshouse has no need to provide for him. The divorce court seldom hears of him. To Potter's Field he is abso- lufely unknown.

 From every mountain side
