out unreservedly in favor of higher crit

The Jew must, therefore,

Christianity. The Jew must, therefore,
be set Alright.
Nor would the Jew, if he felt inclined
to give up his faith, know which of the
many sects of Christianity he should
enter. Christianity is house divided
against itself. Every sect calims to have
the proper understanding of the Faith s
message to the world. In the face of this
and that within the church there is rad
ical departure from the old orthodoxy
toward monotheism, soon to reflect the
clear light of Judaism, the Jew needs
no Christianization.
Let the conversionist not concern
himself about the salvation Ct the Jew.
The Jew does not ask this solicitude. He
resents it. He'll take care of himself
and look to his own salvation. What he
asks is respect-respect for his convic-
tions, respect for his religion, respect
for his civilizing power; that respect
which he is willing to accord to all who
differ with him in belief.
More particularly in this country this
manly attitude should prevail In our
national paradise, where only the fair
est flowers of justice, equity, good will
and peace should blossom, the poisonous
plants of intolerance and bigotry should
not be permitted to grow uncontrolled.
What the conversonist by his meth
DDS accomplishes is only the disruption
of the nation and the concomitant pre-
judice Of one class against the other.
The Jew he will make no better, nor
more useful and no happier. In his
Judaism he has the tree of life, which,
port, strength and spirituality while
here on earth among the children Of
men.

Jews Do Not Need Christianity
Rev. DR.. William Rosenau.

Kew. Or. william RoSenau.
What would Christians say if we at
tempted to .Judaize them by carefully
devised conversion methods? They
would undoubtedly condemn us, and
this, too, with justice. We would be
considered intolerant We would be cen
sured for arrogating unto ourselves the
sole possession of the truth and the en-
tire truth. In some countries the indig-
nation aroused would probably take the
form of persecution. But there is no
danger that the Jew will ever seek con-
verts, not merely because he wishes to
live in peace with the rest of the world
and consider the religious convictions OF
others the sacred concern, but also be-
cause he knows his faith to be lowered
with eternal life, if, as he believes, it is
the highest truth. Nor is he prepared
to furnish the world any signs of the loss
cf confidence in his Judaism 20 take care
of itself by emphasizing agencies calcu-
lated to gain for it only numerical, buc
not constitutional strength.
And yet the very policy which we
avoid is frequently practiced against us.
Fortunately, the day has passed in civil
lied countries when as in the dark and
ages, UIc Jew 1ldI W DC-
tween apostacy and death; but the day
has apparently not yet dawned when
the Jew will be allowed to work out his
salvation according to his own belief.
Time and again conferences are held
to consider ways and means OF Christ
ianizing the Jews. 1t is advisable to ig
more the zeal of conversionists Silence
would be the proper attitude if our 81
lence were not interpreted in some clr-
cles as an endorsement of the belief that
the Jews need Outstanding in the
sense of civilizing. But every confer
ence of the kind is an insult to the Jew,
and our manhood demands that the Jew
resent it.
Are we heathens? Have we in any
way checked humanity s progress? Have
we contributed nothing by means OF our
faith to that higher knowledge, that lof-
tier morality and that godlier idealism
which have lifted society out OF the
depths of barbarism to the heights OF
human culture? Our work along these

Gomez Oh Spring, for you are welcome,
Welcome to us all, l know.
Give us warmth and joy and sunshine;
We are tired of the snow.
We are weary of the coldness
And we do not like the sleet,

Send us sweet, refreshing rain,
Will you fill the world with pleasure?

Our word "chum," meaning a boon

icled in indelible and unmistakable char
acters on the pages OF history. 1t proves
us to have been the leaven OF society
wheresoever the Jew was permitted to be
swayed by the holy principles OF his an
cestral creed.
The unvarying experience OF CONVEX
sionists should have taught them les
son. 1t is high time for them to learn
that Jew whom the conversionists pro-
cure is neither loss to Judaism nor
gain to Christianity.
Before the Jew can become a Christian
the conversionist must change his sub
ject's whole nature, and recast the phil
Csophy giving shape to his life. The
Jew needs to be understood before he
can be handled religiously. His Juda-
ISM is not like garment that can be put
off taken on at pleasure. 1t is an inte-
eral part of his psychological being. 1t
is the resultant of many forces -hered-
ity, environment, training, experience,
life, history, hopes and ideals. The
honest Jew, the faithful Jew, the real
Jew. can not be coerced or fattered out
Of his Judaism into another faith. He
is intensely ideal and still practical. He

are the keynotes in the classic symphony
of Judaism And that these keynotes
have sufifficed to attune the life OF the
Jew to the highest and best his conduct,
barring comparatively few instances,
demonstrates. The Jew has been God
intoxicated in the sense that he has ever
trusted in God, retained noble ambition
and perservered in Cody aims. He has
been moral in the sense that he has
respected the sanctity of the home, the
dignity of the state and the divinity OF
mankind. In the first instance he was
the champion of spotless chastity; in this
second the apostle Of an exemplary citi
zenship. and in the third the messenger
of charity. Whatever shortcomings the
Jew has is not the fault Of his Judaism.

COTTON GROWERS AND SPEC

Because the first three frosts of
the cotton year were not destructive,
the cotton speculators proceeded to
mark down contracts from 20 to 80
points, and in New York spot cot.
ton, middling was quoted down 25
points. Middling cotton is now sell
ing close to Ii cents-too close to
admit of the payment of that sum
at the farm or nearest shipping sta
ton.
The fight between the cotton grow
er and the speculator has begun, and
behind the speculator stands the
eastern or foreign spinner. The spec
ulator and the foreign spinner are try
ing to rob the cotton farmer of legit-
innate profit. They want all the prof
its that the staple affords, and if
they can keep the farmer financial
ly weak and dependent they will be
especially gratiied. For that means
that he cannot accumulate surplus,
and if he cannot build up a surplus
he will continue to be the football
year after year Of the speculator and
spinner.
The farmer should have the sup
port Of all interests in the south in
this critical stage Of the price-mak-
ing period. The home bank, the home
supply house, the insurance agents
and all other home agencies with
whom the farmer deals should extend
TO him all possible support while he
is conducting hard fight with the

PREDATORY AND PRODUCTIVE

There is a predatory wealth and
there is productive wealth-the
wealth that preys like cormorant On

wealth that develops resources and
employs labor and builds up indus
try. The country is tired of the null

off paper values for solid worth or
who Haunt their ostentatious wealth

those who can hold even single

stands firm. He il the colossus Of
the cotton world.
His effort to secure q just and
equitable price for his property is
right and reasonable. In his fight
to protect the product of his toll, he
has, with Insignificant exception, the
sympathy Of the whole world. If he
yields; if be is intimidated or bull
lied or coerced into relinquishing his
property; if he agrees to accept for
it lower price than it's worth, he
has only himself to blame.
LIE the farmers who hold cotton de-
cline to sell at the price the man who
owns no cotton quotes to- purchaser
on the cotton exchange, the exchange
gambler and the world will have to
come to the farmers price.
When the farmer sells, he has the
goods to deliver. When the specu-
lator sells, he hopes to be able to
buy cotton at lower price than the
one he quotes in order to complete
his trade.
All must come at last to the actual
producer-the cotton farmer. He
holds the key to the situation. He
possesses the goods which the world
demands. If he will recognize the
futiity of exchange made prices, re-
fuse to be bound by them, learn how
the prices of his commodities are
juggled and realize that the man
who sells what he does not possess
is not in any respect in his position,
he will continue to stand firm. Even
the cotton speculator who has sold
futures must eventually become
a purchaser.
That the farmers Of the south will
stand like rock wall against these
onslaughts upon their property and
their living, there seems to be no
present reason to doubt.
They have learned the lessons Of
experience and they are going to
profit by them.-Atlanta Constitu-
ton.

THE PEOPLE VICE TRUST AND
COOPERATIVE RULE.

The last decade has proven con-
clusively that the people will never
be able to throw off the yoke oe
tyrannical, oppressive and despciling
misrule of the trusts and privileged
corporations, unless they (the people)
unite. BY people, I mean those that
honestly and faithfully respect aud
abide by just laws; that desire and
advocate equal justice, liberty and
opportunities for all, but special priv
ileges to none.
The people have been deceived and
misled so often, that they are filled
with distrust, and almost discourag-
ed; and In time have become scat
tered in numerous, practically, In
significant and impotent squads, that
it would seem to require, almost, a
miracle to ever get them together
again; which is absolutely necessary.
Who is to bring this abouts The
leaders of the different reform fac
tions must do it. They must first
unite or agree with each other. They
must shelve or table, for the time
being, every blessed principle, no
matter how good or desirable, upon
which they are not practically unit.
They must realize fully that, "The
welfare of the people is the highest
law" They must exercise the high
est order of manhood. patriotism and
self-denial. They must put aside
even the last vestige of personal or
party consideration. They must con-
slider that the next campaign may
mean the last stand Of freemen;
that victory of the present ruling
power may sweep away forever even
the least semblance of government
by, Of, and for the people.
Alasl I am only an insignificant
member Of that great mass, referred
to, sometimes, as The Common Herd,
and yet, I dare say, that in 1903 the
candidacy for any important office,
at the hands Of any Of the reform
factions, will carry with it a mighty
fearful responsibility; veal the can
didates may bring down upon them
selves the curses, instead Of bless
ings, Of generations to come. May
be pardoned for naming three men
among the reformers, who stand
most prominent before the peo-
pie, and who could and should take
the initiative toward bringing about
that grand, desirable, necessary and
praiseworthy union Of, practically,

poverty among the working men and
working womenf
Give to the workers the full value
OF the product of their labor; in 9th
er words, promote economic Justice.
There are about 80,0OO,O0O people in
America; 100000 Of these 8O.O00,-
600 constitute the working class, and
by working class I mean the class
which produces all wealth, from
Presidents and Managers of great in
dustries to those working as unskilled
laborers for the lowest wage.
The rest of the $4,000, 900 compose
what may be called the mere capital
ist class; those who, through monop-
ohzation Of the land and machinery
OF production, without access to which
the other 7O,0OO,00O cannot live, are
able to live in idleness and luxury on
the produce of the workers toll,
while the workers, thus despoiled, live
in poverty and partial slavery.
Of all the new wealth created each
year the majority Of the wealth pro-
ducers receive but bare subsistence
wage, while the idlers spend the
workers wealth in palaces, yachts,
fine clothes and endless luxuries.
There are thousands and scores of
thousands of people in America who
work hard both mentally and physi-
cally exploiting other mems labor,
and believe they are entitled to all
they manage to take; such as spec
ulators in stocks, lands or any hu-
man necessity.
The burglar works quite as hard
mentally and physically in planning
the housebreaking and carrying out
his plan: for it must be no slight
mental strain to plan the best ways
OF getting into house at night or to
fix upon a house; and no slight phv-
sical exertion to do away with the
resistance cf intricate locks and
alarm-giving glass windows. A man s
physical being must be taxed to the
utmost to gather together the silver
and other valuables after he has
broken into the house, and to make
his escape. He never dreams of ar
guing that he works hard, and should
therefore be entitled to the silver.
Besides taking away from him
what he got through much hard Ia
Dor, we lock him up. Society recog-
nizes the parasitism Of the house
breaker in spite Of all his hard work
but in the case of the other burglar
the speculator-though public senti-
ment is growing apace in that direc-
tion, we have not vet come to see
clearly that, though between the two
there may be difference in kind, there
is far less difference in degree than
is commonly supposed.
Superficial reform movements have
proved unable to cope with the prob
lem. The doing. out Of aims to the
poor through charities is proving not
only futile so far as the, problem Of
the poor is concerned, but often
