DUN MING

No doubt great many Of us have
dunned people for various things, and
perhaps some Of us have been unfortun-
ate enough to be dunned; but it is doubt
full if many know where the phrase
originated. 1t has been said that it,
originally came from the French verb,
donnez.
This may be true, but the word prob
ably came from Joe Dun, a famous bail
iff of Lincoln, about the time of Henry
VII. Dun was so noted for his ability
to extract money from debtors that his
name became proverbial, and it got to pc
a custom to say, ''Why don't you D,r.

A Word for the Jew
BY a Christian.

worse for you who say 1t. Why, sup
posed every Christian despises them. On
the contrary, no true Christian despises
them. 10 be sure, there are always to be
found those who think that hating and
despising a Jew makes a man Christian
who are such fools as to dream that
they can open heavens gate at last by
saying: 81 prosecuted the Jews? In
deed! cheap sort of Christianity is that.
Indeed, it is only the old clothes Of
Christianity, ragged outworn and left
over, like a vile inheritance from the
middle ages. To-day Christianity would
scorn to wear the tatters of persecution.
Whoever dresses up in them is a mas
querader and a hypocrite.
What can 1 say for the Jew? Ten
thousand good things.
The Jew has suffered more than any
other people on earth. And suffering
deeply, long and well gives out title to
esteem: it wins the profound respect,
and even love Of good men.
The Jew is the most constant patriot
the world has ever seen. No other nation
has ever been so loyal to itself. No other
brotherhood has outlasted 1000 years.
No other citizen has dwelt stranger in
every city, as the wandering Jews, driven
from Palestine through the scattered
cities of the globe Never were hills and
wales to any human hearts what those
Of Judah are to the children of Abra-
ham. Why, it does not take the most pa
triotic Irishman long to forget Ireland.
This is land Of immigrants, who in
few years have cooled to the old father
land" and wouldn It be hired to go back
there to live. Not so the patriotism Of
the Jew. "Let my right hand forget her
cunning, and my tongue cleave to
the roof Of my mouth, if I ever forget
thee, oh, Jerusalem, and prefer thee
not above my chief joy!" How many
Yankee born can say that Of their own
land? Bless you, we rob and betray her
on almost every hand.
The Jew has for ages been kind to
women and children. During long cen
turies of the worlds history the only
spot on earth where woman was not d;
slave and children not consl lered bur
dens was in Jewry. When Rome was
exposing infants and aged people to die
by the roadside as useless, Judea was
saying, "Honor thy father and thy
mother, and Of the children, "They are
the heritage of the Lord Blessed is the
man that has his culver full of them -
In all history the Jew has been chivalric
to woman. He has set good example OF
chastity. He rarely scandalzes the
newSnaner-rea dino nuh1io with the story
The Jewish outlook., 1907-05-17

police courts as a wife-beater, wife-mur
derer, bigamist or deserter of his home.
A Jew will take more pride in dressing
his wife and children than in strutting
as dandy himself. For that matter, IA
Jew dandy is rare sight The Jew
educates his children to the utmost OF
his means. You rarely find a Jew who
cannot read or write.
The Jew has done very little of the
fighting and brawling of the last 5000
years. But the Israelite has helped to
pay the debts of the fighting Christian
nations: suffered in the disruption of
his business and the burning of home
and warehouse, while the Christians were
cutting each others throats.
The Jew is not responsible for any
of the blunders of modern governments
which have so impeded civilization He
was not consulted. Feudalism, serfdom,
slavery, imperialism-kingcraft, reli-
gious in tolerance-none of the great
crimes can be laid at the door of the
Jew. But he has been in the same boat
with us, having his wife and little ones
along, and has paid the tax Of toll and
tears like the rest. Generally he has suf-
Tered dumbly. He makes few speeches,
writes rarely for the press, and doesn t
growl at the government.
The Jews contribute next to nothing
to the great army Of burglars, highway
robbers, bank breakers, and drunken
loafers. You rarely ever see Jewish
"tramp;' he has his pack with some
thing to sell. Can you think of sin
gle Jew in that bad lot of defaulting
cashiers, directors and presidents whom
we have bagged in the last ten years?
The Jews don't ask state aid to sup
port their synagogues or religious
schools. Their benevolent institutions
are comparable with any for munifi-
cence Of support. suppose they receive
their portion Of exercise money. but
they did not ask for it, They have a
relatively clean record at Albany. You
can hardly say as much for a single
Christian denomination, who have each
at times seemed to itch to get hand in
the peoples tax-box by some appropria.
ton.
The moral law of the Jew is the law
of right to the world. Whatever equaed
the ten commandments. The inhu-
ence of this same old people has fash
ioned the world. 1t is the most inhuen-
tial among mankind.

The general impression has gone abroad that the shortage of Tax Col lector J. F. Houlihan amounts to $626. A careful reading of the report of MT Soule will show that practically all of the $626 was collections made during the month of October and withheld from payment to the former treasurer by order of the selectmen. As soon as the new treasurer took office the amount due the town was turned in. MT Houlihan feels that the wrong i'm pression that has gone forth does him an injustice.
