ONE SIDE OF THE RACE
 SUICIDE QUESTION
}BY MRS. J. O. DODGE

All this talk of race suicide is
 enough to disgust women and girls
 with the thought of getting married.
 While the desire for a home is in
 every woman's heart, it is another
 matter when it presents a picture
 of drudgery, with perhaps not even
 necessary clothing, nor food to sat-
 isfy the demands of the hungry.
 These malcontents who are agita-
 ting the question would not have
 far to go to find thQusands of such
 homes.
 The paltry offer of fifty dollars
 or even five hundred dollars for
 each infant born in family is in
 iquitous. That amount of money
 to needy family is not drop in
 the bucket to supply the future
 needs of child in even the most
 humble circumstances. What would
 men think of one who would offer
 a farmer a reward for each head of stock added to his herd, knowing that no food or shelter could be provided for them.
 Why not seek to do more for the thousands of miserable beings al ready here? If these men of note who are railing against race suicide are doing it for religious motives, why, considering the charity they may be presumed to possess, do they not go out and help care for some of the suffering thousands? Instead of sitting in their comfort able homes, growing about the conditions, they could better utilize the time by helping some poor tired mother with the care of her hungry family, or give up some of their recreations to help through the teething season a few of their neighbors' infants. They would ' soon drop this talk of race suicide if they were forced to do this work. God surely does not look with favor on some of the miserable specimens of humanity offered at his font. When we think that all of our state prisons are full, as are the city prisons, reform schools. county hospitals, orphans homes and insane asylums, and remember that each of these poor creatures has been the treasure of some fond mothers heart, who has given the best of her life for him, we are led 10 fear that the birth of many of .hese unfortunates has been of no benefit to the world nor to them selves.
 Instead of making a house to 1ouse canvass as they have in some places to find out how many chil- lren woman has not had, it would De more to the point if they made he same canvass to find out how many in the family are not fed, lothed and schooled as they should 'e. The world and nation would ,e better for it.
 Surely 1t is the woman herself Vho should have the right 10 say low much family she should have, Instead of some high prelate. In ges gone by men have been the

to him became too heavy he was beaten;
if he insisted upon his rights he was ex-
PEELED and his property was inconven-
lent, false charges against him were set
in circulation. He needed Christian
blood in his religious services; Chris
tian child must be slaughtered in order
to celebrate the Passover Woe unto
him if an epidemic broke out. Then his
blood was often called for to appease
the angry Deity. From land to land he
was driven. He had no abiding place.
Every door was shut against him. Even
Spain ceased to be a haven Of rest to
him, when the Moor was driven back to
Africa.
The dominant forces in the reforma-
ton period were hostile to the Jew. He
was still prosecuted by the Lutheran
and Calvinistic churches The Anabap-
lists were friendly. Their leading
thinkers voiced the most exalted senti-
urged liberty Of conscience, Of speech,

do not taste sugar during Pessa h. They
drink coffee without it, but they eat
sweet dried date after their coffee. The
dates for the use of Pessa h are specially
harvested. The Jews of Constantine do
not smoke ready made cigarettes be-
cause -four paste is used in their manu-
facture. If they go to a cafe they will
drink a glass Of water, but no wine, or
beer, or cordial or syrup or coffee. Most
Of the merchants do not work during
these eight days. The laboring people
take walks about the town or in the
their holiday attire. They care little as
to whether they are penniless on the
day after their holiday; for this holiday
is dear and sacred to them; they cele
brate it joyfully to the end. 1t is
curious fact, but we know that the board
of charities makes loans to the poor at
these times to enable them to celebrate
the Pessa h in dignifed way. Thus
the poor as well as the more prosperous
ones have their picnics in the country
though they know that the money re-
ceived as loans will be deducted from
their wages in the sum Of fifty centimes,
one franc or two francs per week till
their debt has been liquidated. Pessa n
is the holiday that is the most expensive
to Orientals Not that the Matzoth are
dearer than bread for the difference in
price is very small: but because they
like to spend great deal during that
holiday, and because they want to cele-
brate the festival of the Spring in real
princely fashion on the Seder night, and
rejoice on that evening at the deliver
ance Of their ancestors from Egypt,
though it happened thousands Of years
ago.-Paul Berghenn in Reform Advo-
cate.

cognizance Of religious differences, and
especially deprecated the spirit Of ami
mostly to Jews and Turks. But they
were drowned in deep waters or burned
at the stake and the Protestant COM
munities were prevented by the compul-
sorry support Of a certain type Of relig
ion and the baneful conception of
Christian state from learning the most
elementary principles of religious lib
erty.
1t should be recorded, however, that
Holland and Hungary, Denmark and
Sweden, England and America have
treated the Jew with greater justice and
fairness than the other nations, have
given him opportunities to live his own
life, and taken the lead in according
him the rights and privileges of citizen
ship. In these countries legislative ac-
ton on his behalf has been in response
to popular sentiment Enlightened
despots. like Peter of Russia and Joseph
H. Of Austria, by their favors gave a
strong impetus to the development of
Jewish life in their lands. But their
personal attitude was far in advance of
the disposition of their subjects, and re-
forms that do not rest upon the will and
convictions Of the many have in them
no promise of stability.
The rationalism of the eighteenth
century ushered in new era in the his
tory of this people. 1t is easy to decry
as superficial this mighty revolt of hui
man reason against the dogmas cult,
and spirit of orthodox Christianity 1t
may have been lacking in historic sense;
but it was rich in common sense. And
it rendered most useful service to hui
manity by sweeping away host Of sup
erstitions and prejudices, hoary with
age, and laying bare the simple princi-
pies of justice too long obscured by
them. Where that tendency Of thought
known as deism or rationalism, Auf-
klaerumg or eclarcissement, affected So
cial life, new attitude toward the Jew
was noticeable. When Lessing looked
for a nobler type Of manhood, embody-
ing the catholic spirit of the age, the
figure of Moses Mendelssohn rose before
his mind to furnish the features of his
Nathan, the Wise.
The nineteenth century saw many
fetters fall, many njust laws repealed.
many preJudices pass away. Toward
the end Of this century, however, there
was a new outburst of anti-Semitism,
AS though the demon Of race hatred
knew that his time was short, he hast
ened to pour out everywhere the walls
Of his wrath. In Germany and Austria,
the populace was melted to attacks

work some kneeling near an Arabic
hearth, knead the dough, others by q
very ingenious way using their fingers as
tools, give it it's shape, weigh it out into
the requisite quantities, and pierce the
holes into it. Others superintend the
baking. By thus helping each other they
save much trouble and time. AT the APP
proach of Pessa h more than fifty ovens
are busy; none of them stops till the last
minute Some enterprising merchant
tried to introduce his automatic Matzah-
making machine. No matter how much
pain he took to oversee the working OF it,
he did not succeed in convincing the peo-
pie Of it's success. 1t deprived them OF
the task which they did not want to give
up, of securing the meal fit for use which
is not always an easy task, it prevented
them from making the unleavened bread
and Of the pleasure thereby to fulfill
Mitzvah, a religious duty.
When Seder night has at last arrived,
the women are repaid for their four
weeks labor. Not that they are al
lowed to sit at the family table, when the
celebration is taking place, but the men
accord them a special honor by holding
the seder-dish over their heads You may
say that is not mlch but believe me, that
in that country and according to Ortho-
dox custom, it is considered great honor
for woman to have the Seder-dish over
her head. No need to mention that the
different families Occupying the same
house, gather round the same table and
recite the Haggada together. The most
learned among them explains and trans
lates into the Arabic language the Won
drous feats Of the deliverance from
Egypt, and it is not uncommon for him
to add few fantastic stories of his own
having their origin in the domain OF sr-
pcrstition and fabulous myth. The cere-
mony of the Seder usually commences
late in the evening and continues till far
on in the night. Nobody knows why but
everybody follows the custom Of the re-
motest ancestors The eighth day OF
Pessa h is looked for with just as much
expectation as the first one. At O'Clock
in the afternoon the people commence
eating bread-the bread they have not
tasted for several days. It is not so much
the bread as the couscous that they long
for There is not family where cous-
cous is not eaten at twilight. Once more
the families come together to partake OF
that fine dish. But previous to this they
have on the balconies a diversion for
which I was not able to obtain an expla-
nation. The children jump over
bucket Of water and over lighted
candles. Will they drown the festival

Must Have More Troops.

Washington,-General Greely has in
sisted upon additional troops for San
Francisco. His telegram reads:
The Military Secretary, Washington, D.
c.
Desire especially to call attention of
Secretary of War and Chief of Staff to
necessity for additional troops Not only
is the present force inadequate to fully
guard the interests of the city, but they
have been necessarily overworked in the
past, and are overtaxed today. Distances
are simply enormous, and conditions de-
manding military action can best be OBJ
served by sending as large a force of
mounted men as is practicable. The
spirit and conduct of the troops, officers
and men, has maintained the high stand
ing of American Army and a continu-
ance of physical stress and mental re-
sponsibility is not advisable in the pres
ent high tension of affairs.
GREELY, Major General Commanding
In another telegram to the War De
partment urging the sending of addi-
tional troops, General Greely said:
Estimates from various sources place
the destitute between two hundred thou
sand and a quarter of a million, which
leaves me but one soldier to every hun
dred destitute people, and the additional
force would give only two 10 the hun
dred While inclined myself to place
number somewhat below 100000, yet the
judgment OF others cannot be. S2fely
ignored.
