The Jewish outlook., 1906-09-07
Defends the Jews

The following editorial from the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, a conservative
newspaper, will surely be of interest to
our readers:
''On Tuesday of last week the Eagle
paper called the Mentor an article by
the Rev. John l.. Beford. 1t was a
criticism of the Jewish race couched in
the most scathing terms. The Eagle re-
printed it as a matter of news without
Endorsement and without comment. 1t
was here regarded as of public interest
in that it Indicated the view of lead
ing Catholic cleric who, from previous
public utterances has been supposed to
be somewhat kindly disposed toward the
very people he condemned in type. Moth
ing was further from the purpose Of the
Eagle than to approve of what Father
BelfOrd wrote.
''Naturally a controversy arose. The
Eagle received many letters denounc-
ing the attitude assumed by Father Bel
ford and many other letters sustaining
that attitude. Such Of these communica-
tions as observed the proprieties placed
upon newspaper discussion have received
space in these columns. No partiality
has been shown to either side. Defend
ers and assailants of Father Belford
have been treated with equal considera-
ton. But the argument cannot continue.
1t must stop, so far as the Eagle is con-
cerned. It must stop with to-day. No
more space will be given to it. The de-
termination to end it has been reached
because of the steadily increasing bit
terness disclosed by very many of those
taking part in it. If an issue Of this sort
involving questions Of racial prejudice
and social characteristics could be philo-
sophically and temperately discussed an
indefinite extension of the dispute might
do no harm. But under the circum-
The Jewish outlook., 1906-09-07

stances it has been deemed wiser to shut
off the controversialists before their epis-
tolary missives become absolutely i'm
possible of reproduction in type.
The development of the Jew in this
country is eloquent testimony to the
capacity of the race when conditions of
absolute equality and liberty are con-
coded it. In finance in commerce, in
purely industrial pursuits and in the
learned professions the position of the
jew in America is acknowledged to be
eminent and has been achieved by those
qualities OF energy, persistence and
thrift which are essential to the success
Of any man, whatever his nationality
and whatever his religious faith. The
Jew has had less to contend with here
than IN any other country in the world
Hence his advancement has been cores
pondingly rapid. In the United States
he never labored under the civil disa-
tilltles that so long retarded his progress
Ill England. He never encountered here
the bitter anti-semitic prejudices that
have periodically inhamed the press and
public of France and Germany and Aus
trla. He has never endured even a sug-
gestion of the outrage to which his kind
red have been subjected in Russia. He
has enjoyed, and still enjoys free
field and kindly, if critical, contem-
platlon OF him compels the admission
that he has improved it with not more Of
selfish purpose than pertains to people
of other blood and of other creecls.
While Father Belford s indictment
was presented in vigorous, lucid and
even picturesque English, we think he
laid too much stress upon points that
are of relatively small account The
larger aspects Of the question he passed
over without the consideration mani
testify their due. It would have been
wiser, for instance, to have given proper
weight to what the Jew has achieved

Russian Jew as a
ReVOlutiOnist

The New York Evening Post in a re-
cent editorial ably analyzed the causes
that have led the Russian Jew to be-
come revolutionlst as follows:
1t is too soon to predict the outcome
of the struggle in Russia in so far as it
affects the material welfare of the Jews
whether a relentless autocracy will
persist in the sanguinary policy Of Won
Plehve, or triumphant democracy will
completely free the Jews from their dis
abilities. But there is ground for main
tanning that the revolution has already
justified itself in a certain healthy in
fuence it has come to exercise on the
Jewish racial character. We refer to
the remarkable growth of masculinity,
or, if one will have it, of the fighting
spirit, which has made itself manifest
in the selfdefense movement among the
Jews since the days Of Kishenev. There
are in Russia now wSocial-Democratic So
cieties, Social Revolutionary societies,
and Zionist societies but all these are
at the same time, and prominently, self
defence societies. And though the ex-
istence Of self-defence associations may
not have lessened the actual number of
Jewish lives lost by massacre, or may
even have increased the mortality of af-
fording, through armed resistance, an
opportunity for the intervention Of the
Cossacks, there is nevertheless the great
moral gain that resistance was offered,
the proof that meek submission is losing
it's place as the badge Of the tribe
"This new attitude of the Russian
Jews towards persecution by the mob,
is the result, primarily, of an import
ant social change that has been going on
within the Jews community. It is
change closely connected with the rise
and progress Of the general Russian up

There may have been some one on the down
train who knew how, and Mr.. Dunbar, who
you told me was passenger, has given 1t to
him. 1t would have been an easy thing to
pick up a fireman, as he wouldn't have much
to do. My theory is that the engine started
back up the road in charge of some regular
engineer, and that, as you are inclined to be
lieve, he ran off the track and down the
bank, hurting both so badly that they can't
help themselves"
Jim, the engineer being appealed to, hest
tated some time but finally spoke in his
blunt way:
II stick to what said in the first place.
/ believe go was not caught at all. She's
just gone ripping and tearing down the track,
knocking things right and left and killing
lots of people. You know, when anything Of
the kind happens it's against the rules for us
to know anything about it; that is, to folks
that ask questions. &c. knowing what lot
Of questions would be sent, they Just loaded
up with that sort Of stuff on purpose for the
public"
You're wrong there" said Cheever, deci-
sivey. "The kilograms which were sent to
the Office were for u.s. and not for the public,
who know little, il anything, about the run
away. They wouldn't send us false dis
patches"
"Hark !" interrupted Jim, stopping short.
The others did the same, and through the

is heard when train is far away in the dis

or fifteen miles an hour, and beyond Hadley
dropped to ten.
When Jarvis had left Hadley mile be-
hind, he observed that his steam was run
ming low, and it was necessary to shovel on
some coal. BY that time he was so impressed
with the necessity of caution that he shut on
steam altogether, and waited till the, engine
was almost at a standstill. Then the tur-
mace door was thrown open, and he never
stopped till fully half-ton was flung, INTO
the blazing GOALS He hoped he would not
require any more for the trip.
Resuming his place in the cab, he peered
over the tender into the gloom, and started
the engine again. He was proceeding slowly,
when, TO his alarm, he discovered there was
some obstruction on the track. In the dark
ness, and with only the dim rays Of the Ian
tern to help him, he could see nothing dis
tinctly but he was quite sure that some ami
NAL was running between the rails He re-
versed, gave dozen or so short puffs with his
whistle, and then climbed part way over the
coal, so as to gain better sight OF what the
obstruction might be.
He saw that some stupid beast was trot-
ting back without knowing enough to step
off the rails. He could not make out clearly
what it was, but when the engine speedily
came to halt, he threw it out of gear,
stepped down and ran after it,
Sure enough, there stood cow staring
curiously at the dark mass as though she
wondered whether that too, was not one of
her own species of an original pattern. Jar

Wis lost no time in giving her several vigor-
GUS kicks, when she plunged down the bank,
and, returning to his engine, he resumed
progress
He was now passing through stretch Of
woods, where the darkness was profound, and
the scene impressively lonely. He kept the
gait very low, and used his eyes for all they
were worth. At intervals he rang the bell,
but where his senses were strained to such a
delicate point, he disliked any additional
sound; The engine ran with admirable
smoothness and quiet, and it seemed to him
now and then as though it made scarcely any
noise at all. For the fftieth time since he
had caught her, he muttered some cordial
compliment to her excellence.
"The fellow who gets her may feel proud"
he said. "She hasn't her equal on the road,
and she looks as pretty as picture"
While his hand rested on the lever, which
could understand the peculiar affection with
which many old engineers regard their loco
motives. 1t seemed even then as though
''99' was something more than mere spleu-
did machine; she was capable of understand
ing the admiration which every spectator
must feel for her.
ALI this was weI enough as an amusement
for the mind, but Jarvis was relieved when
they emerged from the gloom of the woods
and began moving across the open country,
where il was possible to catch a glimpse OF
surrounding objects.
He decided to increase his pace, and had
just pulled the lever for that purpose, when
he was startled by deafening rush Of steam
almost in his very face He knew like a
fash what caused it, but did not fully under
stand what had occurred.
From the dome, just in front Of the cab, a
column Of steam was shooting straight ap-

Jim got down on the ground, and applied
his ear to the rail, which, you know. is a
much better conductor of sound than the air.
"By George!" he exclaimed, Strengthening
up. something is coming up the track, as
sure as you're born!"

CHAPTER Xxx.
TROUGH SAILING"

r MEANWHILE Jarvis Brinton had
M found Tougher sailing" on his re-
-. turn with the runaway than any one
EsS9Zll could have anticipated.
With that care and thoughtfulness
which nearly always controlled him,
he lit the red lamp, and hung it on the rear
of the tender, where it would convey the
warning signal to whomseeyer might be on
the track. The headlight was burning, but it
was useless in going backward.
The B. and d. G. Railroad, as you remem-
Der, consisted Of single track, and there
were no turntables, on which an engine could
be moved about, 50 as to face the other way,
except at Bayington and Des Cartes. Consc-
quently, the commonest prudence demanded
that Jarvis should run only at moderate
speed, and that he should be prepared every
second for the immediate stoppage of his en-
gine.
This extreme care was needed also, because,
as you can readily see. the sand-box ON the
locomotive is useless when it is running back
ward, since, it may be said, the sand falls
on the track behind the driving wheels, in
stead of in front.
All this was we'll understood by Jarvis, who

School Statistics

In his annual report, State School Su-

for high school grades for the country
districts in order that the farmers sons
and daughters may have the same ad-
vantages as those of the cities. The re-
port shows that there are 9.157 teachers
in the State, S,03S of whom are women.
The average salary paid is sos. So, being
an increase of 1888 over the preceding
year. The total value OF school property
is $22, 094 ,076. There are 1868 school
buildings i'll the State, their average val
uation being $l1,5 9S each. The total
number OF pupils enrolled is 277, 535, all
increase OF IA, 564 for the year.
The State Board of Education has ap-
portioned 1892, 638. IA to the counties
with which to pay teachers. That gives
