! Thereupon Mrs. Frank. who is her self Jewess. promptly left the ho- tel It is a pity that every self-re- specting man and woman in the place. Jewish or Christian, did not leave at the same moment
 | If the man who owns the hotel is responsible for this insult to VIC. man. and to religion. his business should be ruined. and he himself should be made to know that there is an actual meaning to New Jerseys law which punishes with fine or i'm. prisonment an offense such as that committed against Mrs. Frank. A man who would personally or through his agents insult a respect able woman and that womans religion is not fit to be in business in any ciyi- lized country. and an ordinary jail would be too good for him.
 Mrs. Frank, the victim of this in- suit, is of the highest character, one whom every man should gladly treat with honor.
 She has devoted her entire life and all of her fortune to he;pins iiie poor.
 After her husbands death she dis tributed his fortune among various charities, treating all alike, regard less of their religion
 Her fathers home fin Baltimore, beautiful residence, she has made into a home for nurses. To one hospital she gave s75,O0O. Every charity of a non-sectarian kind in Baltimore has been helped by her.
 And this is the woman who is told that people of her kind are not wanted in hotel
 Unfortunately it is not possible to put the blame for this disgrace en- tireIy upon the individual hotel or the hotel proprietor. It is a fact only too well known that certain classes of Americans. usually the little. second rate. would-be. respectable melodies, encourage discrimination against the Jews.
 This discrimination is usually found in the least desirable places, the sec ond-rate resorts, boarding houses and hotels.
 People that haven't brains enough to be successful in anything else often try to emphasize their '"respectabili- ty" by an affection of superiority to somebody better than themselves.
 Of course, the views of the would be, cheap. little respectable nobod- les" are not important Such trash couldn't insult anybody if they tried. II happens, however, that here and there men of real importance. indi- viduals otherwise of decent character, permit themselves to indulge in these ill-msnnered and disgrscefuI displays of race prejudice and religious pre- judice.
 A shameful incident such as that at Atlantic City reflects upon the country and upon the respect for law. A man has a right to do as he pleases in his own house He can, if he chooses, keep out his own mothers sister if she doesn't dress to suit him or if he doesn't think her quite Ere spectable" enough.
 But, in public hotels. public resorts, protected by the law and licensed by tthe law. there should be enforcement of the law.
 All good American citizens of man Y instinct should take a hand in this matter.
 An insult to a decent woman is an Insult to every seif-respecting man, and it ought to be possible to arouse such feeling as would make the guilty hotel owners and others feel a pain in their sensitive spot. which Is the pocketbook.
 The lime has gone by in the United States for shameful nonsense of this Kind Every American with sense of fair play will deaonnce a coward ly, shameful. disgracefvl. nn-Ameri- can and unmanly form of bIackguard, ism that attacks, simultaneously. wo man, religion, charity, decency and fair play.-New York Evening Journal
