of new circles in that section as well.
Since September LIST of this year the

ent tour.
AS a result to date, the following COM

friends that Mr.. So and So had invited
them to a whist. Do they pretend not
to know that as soon as their back Is
turned these "charming gentle friends
open the flood-gates of gossip and make
fun of these obtrustive Jewesses, who
try to ape their talk, sighs, unctuous
whispers.
1t is most deplorable truth, that this
cowardly cringing before and catering
to the gentiles, without questioning
whether the gentiles are intellectually
and morally their superiors or even
equals, is in most cases done by Jews
and Jewesses whose parents were plain,
unassuming strictly orthodox Jews, who
started life in this country as poor ped
dlers and managed to acquire certain
competency. In only too many eases
their descendants are ashamed Of their
parents, of their religion and foolishly
think that by getting into gentle society
they are better than other Jews, who
have too much self-respect and dignity
to resort to such reprehensible means
for the sole purpose of throwing dust
into the eyes Of the people. Schiller's
words in Don Carlos: II desire the
Spanard to be proud,'' are applicable
to the Jew and Jewess in America.
The best and the only way that we
Jews can, indeed, win the respect and
esteem of our non-Jewish neighbors is
by showing them that we consider our
selves just as good as they are. And
because they are in the majority, they
must, if they really desire our company,
come first to us. They must make over
lures, not we. If they are of the right
mette they will do so; if not they
are not good enough for u.s. A
social club, which rejects Jews as mem
bers is not worth that Jews should JON
it. A hotel which does not admit Jews
ought to be Stunned by every self-re-
specting Jew and Jewess. Jewish wo-
men who run into the houses OF gentle
women or even go so far as to invite
them to parties before they have called
on them deserve the ridicule Of every
self-respecting man and woman. These
ideas and opinions may not be to the
liking of the very people who in letters,
compliment us on our honesty for call
ing a spade spade, but they are in full
accord with sound logic and unvar-
nished truth The chances are that
these views will not be popular among
those who have only acquired the veneer
of education and little knowledge. For
tunately, however, their applause or dis
approval is utterly Indifferent to us. we
have always deemed it our sacred duty

NEGRO BAPTlSTS IN A ROW
BROWNSVILLE AFFAIR NEARLY
DIsRUPTs CONVENTION.
Resolutions critlcisine President Re.
placed BY MiIder Set After
Stormy Discussion.

Washington, Sept. 1S--Despite the
efforts of some of the leaders to keep
out of its discussions all matters po-
litical, the national negro Baptists'
convention Monday, after a stormy
session in the course of which Presid-
ing Officer Morris threatened to leave
the chamber, hotly debated the
Brownsville affair.
The committee on the state of the
union had refused TO eliminate from
its report all reference to the question
and had prepared resolutions on the
subject which, it. was learned, severe
ly criticised President Roosevelt and
strongly praised Senator Foraker for
the stand ne had taken. 1t was only
through fear of disrupting the conven-
ton that the delegates. after support
ing the purpose of the committee to
submit the report, reconsidered and
consented to a milder set of resolu.
lions offered by the presiding officer.
The resolutions are as follows:
I'm common with all good citizens
we deplore what has come to be
known as the Brownsville affair and
we trust that the time will yet reveal
the real perpetrators of the crime.
THE entire country is under a debt
Of gratitude to the Hon. j. r. Foraker
and others who secured for the
soldiers the right to be heard in their
own defense"

Uses to raise hornets nest about the

Judson of the corps of engineers,
United States army, has just made it's
appearance. Capt. Judson, in an Of
fetal report. gives ground for COM
plant not only on the part of naval
officers, members of the diplomatic
corps and brother officers in the
army, but has something to say about
the foolishness of sending warships
to the far Pacific. which is out of har-
mony with the announced intention of
President Roosevelt in this regard.
Saw Japanese Conflict.
Capt ,Judson is one of the officers
who were sent to Manchuria to re-
port on the observations of the opera.
tions of the Russian and Japanese
armies. The scenes of carnage which
he witnessed appear to have had a
most demoralizing and depressing in.
fluence upon him. In his report he
disparages the utility of the United
States navy, limiting darkly at COM
ing wars which will involve this ma.
ton, and tells about the weakness and
embarrassments growing out of the
Philippines, the Panama canal and the
Monroe doctrine.
Capt. Judson declares that only by
adopting certain measures for the
Improvement of the American navy,
which he outlines, can the United
States be saved from shameful and
disastrous war;"
Against Military Attaches.
The Judson report contains fling
at military attaches. These officers
occupy diplomatic status. Capt.
Judson thinks it is bad thing to per.
init them to accompany armies in the
field. He declares they are "less
dangerous only than war correspond
ence," and favors the policy of "satiat-
ing public curiosity about nations
wars by handing out typewriter
statements from "some official chan.

taches he says: Many of them will
be Ill disposed for one reason or an
other. Some will try to make records
in getting out. information, and some
may even try covertly to furnish in.
formation to the press"
If Capt. Judson could only have
foreseen the events of the present
summer he would never have included
a drastic criticism of the policy of
massing American battleships on the
Asiatic station. In enumerating some
. of the mistakes made by the Russians
he speculates on what might have
happened if the Russians had kept
their battleship fleet at home and
had thrown as victims to the Japanese
gunners only few protected cruisers.
