Jewish Responsibility for Jewish
Persecution.
That the Jew is himself largely 10
blam, for his own persecution is the
rather startling proposition brought
forward by Prof. Goodwin Smith. Writ
ing in The Independent for June Il ne
describes the Hebrew dispersion and
migration thru the Christian countries
as 1.-The wandering of a parasitic race
in pursuit of gain over the abodes OF
natives with which, clinging jealousy
to it's tribalism, it did not unite" This
kind of wandering, the writer thinks, is
very apt to get the wanderer into trou-
BILE. and he recalls a number of bitter
from the Middle Ages
including those in Russia. to
show that, like many other evils, the
love of money may be discovered at
the root. He argues thus:
Take any race you please. with any
religion you please, but with an in
tensely tribal spirit; let it wander in
pursuit of gain over the countries OF
other nations. still remaining a people
apart, stunning intermarriage, shrink
ing from social communion, assuming
the attitude assumed by the strict and
Talmudic Jews toward the Gentiles,
plying unpopular perhaps oppressive,
trades. and cleaning the wealth OF the
country without much adding to it by
productive industry: you will surely
have trouble Offense will come. J..

The good little sheep run quick and

They follow their leader nose to tall
For they must be home by night
And one slips over. and one comes next,
And one runs after behind;
The gray ones nose at the white ones

The top OF the hill they find.
And when they get to the top of the

They quietly slip away,
But one runs over and one comes next:
Their colors are white and gray.
And over they go and over they go.
And over the top Of the hill,

The Edwardses and the Jukes.

Statistics have rarely shown a more
startling exhibit of contrasts than in
that offered by the facts of two famfl
les one notable and the other notorious
the Edwardses and the Jukes. In
The Christion Work and Evangelist
(New York; are given some facts
which the editor believes have never
before been given in print in such jux-
Imposition. We quote:
In the pine woods of Norway Bay,
Quebec. on July IA, 1906, it was our
privilege to listen to an address by
the Rev. j. A. Macfarlane Originator
of the Norway Bay Summer Bible
SCHOOL,, which contained some start
ling statistics on the subject of hered-
ity and home training. The records of
two notable families and their descend
ants were contrasted to show what re-
suits followed the rearing of children
under favorable and unfavorable con-
ditions-the one, bred in a Christian
home, with educational advantages;
the other, reared in an atmosphere of
Nickedness and neglect. Regarding
che of these families, that of Jona
than Edwards, the following facts
were quoted by Macfarlane from an
article by DR.. A. e. Winship, editor
CT The Journal of Education (Boston):
THE father of Jonathan Edwards was
IL minister and his mother was the
daughter of clergyman. Among the
more than three hundred college grad
yates of the Edwards family there
were fourteen presidents of colleges,
more than one hundred college pro-
fessors more than one hundred law
yers, thirty judges, sixty physicians,
more than a hundred clergymen, mis-
sonares, and theological professors,
and about sixty authors, who have
produced 135 books and edited journals
and periodicals. There is writes DR..
Winship scarcely any great Ameri-
can industry that has not had one of
his family among its chief promoters
These eloquent figures may be said
to represent the product of an Ameri-
can Christian family, reared under the
most favorable conditions. The con-
trast is presented in the story of the
'Jukes family a family which could
not be made to study and would not
work. Their entire record is one of
pauperism and crime insanity and inn
becility. Among the descendants 80
We're professional paupers 400 were
physically wrecked by their o,5n wick
edness. sixty were habitual thieves, 100
were convicted criminals. only twenty
out of 1900 descendants learned
trade (and ten of those learned it in

this notorious family produced seven
murderers."

BANKING BY EDlCT.

Secretary Sllaw's edict ordering ma
tional banks not to permit their de-
posts to be used in Wall street under
threat of denying them deposits of
government funds has excited wide
spread comment among New York
Journals of finance. The Commercial
and Financial Chronicle points out that
the subtreasury held out of circulation
as much as forty millions in July more
than it did in the same month of the
year before and that the money strin-
gency was largely due to the locking
up of so much money needed for bank
reserves.
The journal of Commerce insists
that provision should be made imme-
morey in national banks without bond
ed security. Also for the issue of bank
circulation without bonded security
viz: asset currency.
The Journal of Commerce compares
Mr. Shaw to King Canute sitting OF
the seashore and forbidding the waves
to advance upon him, or Dame Part
ington trying to sweep back the Allan
tic Ocean, because money will flow %
a point where the best interest rate is
paid.
The secretary's order reminds the
New York Times of the papal bull
against the comet. The Times says:
president Roosevelt's simplitied
sreiling decree has some chance. Sec
retary Shaw's attempt to control the
use and flow of the currency has no
chance at ALL Money will go where It
is wanted, and a high money rate IS

OF need. The attempt TO Ora !"
