THE PROSECUTED JEW.
Tic Is, II Is Claimed, the Most Spiritual
Mnn Alive.

THE Jew Is said to have what Is
known as the commercial instinct"
said Oscar S. Stratus. Hume tells US
that under Richard |. 800 Jews sought
safety IN the castle of York, where, not
being strong enough for defense, they
killed their wives and children, threw
the bodies over the walls into the mob
below and, setting fire to the castle,
were themselves burned alive. The
gentry owing money to the Jews has
fencd to the cathedral. where their
bonds or promissory notes were kept,
and made n bonfire before the altar.
ley. in relating the event. Hume says,
'blesscs the Almighty for thus deliver
Ing over this impious race to destruc-
ton History blaZes with such stories
of self sacrifice and barbarity. The
commercial instinct In this particular
case appears to have been on the other
side.
Instead of the Jew being natural
barterer, he is the most spiritual man
alive. He has been pounded through
the ages, robbed and massacred, but lie
yields neither his traditions nor his
ideals. Had he been matcrialistic he
would have sold out long ago and
bought peace. If he would join the
Greek church he would be safe in Rus
sia. Rather than do that he will walk
into the jaws of hell Therefore say
that lie is spiritualistic or idealistlc
rather than practical or material. Were
to choose family that would live I
would have it meet hardships and per-
secutons. Were to choose one to die
would give 1t pleasure and luxury
The Jew, denied his civil rights, de-
spoiled Of his property, scourged and
murdered. has only been made tougher
and longer lived. His enemies have
given him strength and trained him
most admirably for the battle of life
no matter in what part of the world
fortune may lead him." = New York

NEW YORK, Dec. G.-Such selling

today seemed TO be under actual ne

Why Mr.. clement was Defeated.

The most exciting, and, as we believe,
the most important and significant cam
paign which has been waged in the state
politics of Vermont within the memory of
the present generation, has ended in the
overwhelming defeat Of Percival w. Glenn
ent and the movement which he created
After the hurrahs have all been shouted
the pleasantries exchanged, and the scores
paid off, the question as TO the real rea-
son for Mr.. Clements defeat is worth Sc
rious consideration both by his supporters
and his opponents. In his speech in Brat
tleboro, and, we think, in every speech
afterward, Mr.. Clement said that his
movement was going to succeed because
1t sprang from the people-because at
last the common people" were aroused
and were going to take their affairs into
their own hands. The exact opposite of
this proved TO be true. Mr. Clement did
not succeed because he did not reach or
convince the great mass Of self-contained
Independent voters OF Vermont. Before
he had been a week on the stump il be-
came clear to thoughtful men that his
main stock in trade was fury of ac-
cusation and an appeal to put the present
organization out so as to put him in.
AS the days went by they saw one after
another of his charges absolutely dis
proved and that the sole effect of his cam
vass was to discredit the good name of
Vermont, with no tangible remedy offered
for the evils which he alleged to exist
They saw that his campaign was simply
one of destruction, and that he gave no
sign or promise of any plan for Vermont's
future upbuildng. In other words they
saw that Mr.. Clements real issue was
Percival w. Clement and his own per-
sonal ends.
II Mr.. Clement had convinced the people
of Vermont that even one OF his most Sc
rious charges was true-that the govern
ment OF the state was corrupt and that
she was the prey of a ring OF grafters or
self-seekers, not all the machine influence
that ever existed could have prevented
them from rising up and driving out the
corruptionists. Mr.. Clement did not sue
coed because he did not convince the
common people, OF whom he talked so
much, that he had any real moral pur-
pose at heart. His overthrow is not in the
true sense a partisan victory. 1t is the
victory of the sober common sense Of the
people of Vermont.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1906-09-07
The Election Means

That unsupported charges carry little
weight with thinking people.
That Clement and his active supporters
are a crowd of big buffers.
That a large number of the Democrats
refused to follow the personally conducted
candidate under a fusion banner.
That the silent vote about which Mr..
Clement talked so much spoke very loudly
and said, "Slxidoo, Percy!'
That the white serfs at Proctor re-
corded their kick against present condi-
tions when they voted Asa Proctor. to rs
Clement.
That If the local Democratic newspaper
could have had one more whack at Mr..
Gibson he would have been elected town
representative by acclamation.
That Percival w. Clement is discredited
by the people of Vermont. One defeat
as a Republican in the state convention,
and two defeats aRs a candidate running
for the chief executives office, once as a
straight independent and the second time
as fusionist ought to quench the fires
of his ambition.
That the fuse was wet and the charges
against the Republican party did not ex-
plode.

DR.. John A. Mead, president of the
Howe Scale company and a former mayor

as a Republican, receiving 1862 votes to
1880 for George G. Underhill. Fusionist

IN Rutland county. -Four years ago Nc
Cullough carried but four towns of the
county against Clement. Worcester Wa

S. Stanton, formerly lieutenant governor
of the state, was beaten for town repre-
sentative on the 10th ballot by John Ban
mister, Democrat. 1t has been reported
that Mr.. Stanton wished to go to the
legislature so that he could run for the
office of speaker.
ThomasC. Cheney, known throughou tthe
state as legislative clerk in former ses-
sions of the legislature, was elected repre-
sentative from Morristown on the sixth
ballot. 1t Is expected that Cheney will be
candidate for speaker.
Maxwell Evarts, son of the late United
States Senator Evarts Of New York, is
the representative-elect from Windsor.
Chairman Thad NJ. Chapman of the
Republican state committee said late
Tuesday night:
This is a glorious Republican victory.
1t has almost II not quite met every ex-
pectation. The state and its good peo-
pie are vindicated. The cry of graft
maladministration, mismanagement of
state institutions and all other issues of
Mr.. Clement are buried completely We
have demonstrated that old Vermont is
true to her colors. true to a clean form
of government, and she has shown that
she is not to be led away by a campaign
OF vituperation and slander, and this is
what We have had to contend with. 1t

The eOuntryman and the Froas.

A countryman interviewed the manager
of a big New York hotel, soliciting a con-
tract to supply the house with frogs hind
legs. How many can you bring?" asked
the manager. "A carload" said the
countryman. The manager was incredu-
lous about his ability to furnish such a
quantity. but the countryman insisted.
THE swamps are full of big ones up our
way" he said. A fortnight later. he ap-
peared again carrying market basket OF
modest size. neatly covered with a white
cloth. The manager lifted the cloth and
found the basket nearly filed with the
coveted delicaey. Those iook.ve nice"
he said where is the carload?" That's
all there was of EN- answered the
countryman in a chopfallen way. The
fact is, stranger, l was judgin' them frogs
by the way they hollered"
This story was told lis last Wednesday
by an orthodox minister, and so it must
be true. Does it remind you of the "hol-
lering'' about the way Clement was going
to carry Brattleboro and several other
Windham county towns, and of Mr.. Glenn
ent's own "hollering" all over the state?
