many more such passages in the old The

ought to be fully sufficient to prove that
only strict orthodox Jew can be an
honest, sincere Zionist. How a Reform

quoted can be Zionist, is more than we
can understand.

Judee Nack's Transfer from
Juvenile Court

The friends Of the Juvenile Court in
Chicago are quite as much surprised as
those throughout the country can be,
transfer of Judge Julian W. Mack from
the Juvenile bench in that city. His eff
cient and conscientious work in the ju-
venile court has been recognized by all.
And his continuance in this work seems
Of the utmost Importance just at the time
when the Chicago juvenile court moves
into it's new building and detention home
facilities, in the planning of which
Judge Mack gave Of his time and
thought and energy at much personal
sacrifice. Protest from citizens in all
walks of life as well as those intimately
associated with the juvenile court was
voiced by the press of the city, which
recognized that whatever reasons there
may have been for this action, the best
interests of the children were not among
them. In these protests no words except
the kindliest have been spoken of Judge
Richard S. Tuthill, who was selected for
Judge Mack s place. His experience as
the first judge of the first juvenile court
in the country, earned for him the graf
itude Of Chicago and the respect of all
citizens for his sincere desire to help the
children. This was fully appreciated by
the hosts Of people who wanted to see
Judge Tuthill show a splendid civic pa
triotism by resigning this appointment
Judge Tuthill has refused to resign, and
states that ga majority of the judges sig
nifed their desire to have me go to the
juvenile court, and I will 60 where I am
assigned. have always tried to do my
duty as I saw it, and I shall continue to
do so in the future' Whatever the un-
DERIVING cause, it is plain that very
serious misfortune has befallen the Chi
cago juvenile court in the transfer of
Judge Mack.

EDITOR JEWISH OUTLOOK:
Dear Sir-A short while ago a Denver
minister delivered sermon denouncing
an organization Of American rabbis who
strongly advocated that the Bible should
be withheld from the public schools. In
very forceful language he stated that the
United States of America was Chris
tian country. 1t was also said by him
that the foundation of all society, gov
ernment and law was Christianity. Then
he went on to say that such and such
man said that the future of the country
depended on belief in the Bible. He
talked at great length on these topics,
and many more, so that when the un-
dersigned finished reading the article, he
was so thoroughly disgusted that he re-
solved to call the attention of this COM
munity to the bigoted statements of the
"Christian divine.
To refute his first argument let me
say that this is not Christian country,
any more than it is Jewish country,
or Japanese or Chinese country. Is
this Christian or Jewish or a Japan
ese or Chinese country merely because
people of these various religions and
races live here? Most emphatically say
NO! When the United States govern
ment was established by the Declaration
of Independence, race and religion were,
laid aside and thenceforth no man has
been considered for his race or religion. J.
Let the reverend doctor peruse the Dec
1aration of Independence to verify my
assertions.
In regard to his second statement, itl
can be said that upon the foundation OF :
this country all hereditary social sys-
TENS, all previous forms Of government, +
were disregarded, so that a nation could !
emerge free from the despotic influences !
of the old world
In his next point he hurls word of 1
disbelief at his Christian brethren. TheH
public schools are operated by the money!

Bell Fund for National Jewish
Hospital

The fund raised by Robert E. Bell,
actor before his death for the establish
ment of home for actors suffering from
tuberculosis, has been given to endow
three beds in the National Jewish Hos
pital for Consumptives
The ambition Of the last years Of Rob
ert Bell is about to be realized in a way.
An actor of national fame, he was also
a victim of tuberculosis In Colorado dur
ing the days when he was dying he
own suffering, but toward providing
home for men in his own profession who
were suffering as he had suffered.
No man was ever more popular among
the fellows of his life s work and no chap
was ever better liked in Denver. In his
three last years he bravely went on, ex-
pecting death at any moment, but all of
the time adding little each week to the
fund he was raising One day the end
as far as his life was concerned came
at the Oakes home, but there was a cou-
pie of thousand dollars in the vaults Of
the Denver National bank for his COM
panions who might need treatment.
Then the ambition was taken up by his
widow, Mary Alkire Bell. She worked
bravely, but she was not Of the profess
sion and the fund did not grow as rap
irly as she had hoped. Nevertheless she
conserved every effort until there was
So 900 in the bank.
She sought to aid her as directors of
the fund, men who stood high both in
theatrical and business way.
The result was that yesterday after
noon Mrs Bell, with her directors of
the fund, namely: E. L. Irish, cashier
of the Denver National bank; Robert
Neal, the actor; Peter McCourt William
Scott Lee, DR.. Robert Levy and A. R.
Pelton, turned over the So 900 as an en-
sdowment for all time for three beds for
factors suffering from tuberculosis
The endowment was accepted under
conditions which provide that the beds

A Com m unication.

MR.. EDITOR: AS a taxpayer for the
past twenty years in our beautiful vii
lage, l have watched, with increasing
interest, the efforts put forth ty various
boards of trustees to solve the road prob
lem. | was told when | first came here
that the best road in the county was be-
tween here and East Middlebury. That
Hon. Joseph Battell had tuilt it years
before, and that but little repairing had
to be done each year to keep it in first
class condition. Mr. Battell l am told,
shook himself loose from the old stereo-
typed forms of road building which had
proved to be failures, and commenced at
the bottom. He laid foundation, and
did his work in the same thorough man
ner which characterizes the man. What
of the results? After all these years
that road is still the "banner" road of
the county. What of the roads in the
village of Middlebury? How do they
compare with the roads outside? Now
let us 'fgger" little. I've lived in Mid
dlebury twenty years. Every year we
raise over So, 500 to be used on our roads.
spent and our roads are practically the
same as they were twenty years ago. 1t
looks to me from the sidewalk, Il don't
drive), as though we had been playing
with our road money long enough. Why
don't the citizens of Middlebury borrow
money enough at six per cent to pay Il
contractor who has steam rollers to come
here and lay our streets in first class,
permanent, crushed stone roads, under
the supervision of a skilled engineer, and
then take the 81, 800 each year to pay
the interest and apply on the principal.
saving out enough to hire some good
man to keep the roads and streets in
repair! Our taxes wouldn't have to be
any higher than they are now, simply
use the money we shall have to raise
anyway. BY this scheme we would
have the roads to enjoy while we are
paying for them. | built a house and
have been enjoying it for thirteen years
while I've been paying for it with the
money | would have had to pay some
one else for rent all this time-and then
the other fellow would have had the
house. There are lot of questions |
would like to ask somebody, but l don't
know who, for I'd like to know if the
State hasn't an appropriation for pen ma
nent roads? If we couldn't get slice
of that fund to help us? If the State
couldn't furnish an engineer to boss"
the job who would see that we got what
we paid for? How much s~Ould an A.
No. road cost per mile? ETC., etc
Some may say it would be taking the
money out of town, to which | answer
that Middlebury has but few men who
are not engaged every day, and, we'll
haven't we paid 'em fifty thousand dol
lars in the last twenty years? I'll leave
it to you, Mr.. Editor if we haven't done
pretty middling well by those few men :?
Respectfully. etc,

Effect of Newspaper Advertising

body's, says:
For a number of years | advertised
only in my windows and in some of the
street-cars, because did not feel that
could afford to advertise in the daily
papers. Two years ago las September
was having a cravenette coat sale, and
succeeded in selling for couple of weeks
about fifty coats a day. l thought
would try column ad. in one of the
evening papers. The next day this
column ad. appeared in one of the even.
ing papers, and, by the bye, it was not
the one that has the largest circulation in
Chicago, | selected the paper that this ad.
appeared in because they gave me low
rate, but they agreed to give my ad. a
good position in the paper. The result
was that the next day the sales, which
formerly had been about fifty coats a
day, jumped to 142, and in fifty days ]
sold over $500 raincoats.
For the year following that sale con-
tinued to advertise in this one paper.
Last fall l felt that | could afford to in
vest, say, about s. 600 in advertising in
some Of the other papers. used three
morning papers and three evening papers,
the best in Chicago. The results have
been something phenomenal. did not
have to invest $4,000 The profits came
back from the newspaper advertising be-
fore their bills came in, and | do not
figure to-day that have dollar invested
in advertising In my opinion the only
way to advertise is to give them plain,
common-sense talk. Tell them the truth.
DO not get a customer to come to your
store AMI find that you have faxed him,
for that is poor advertising, besides be-
ing dishonesty"
