DIR, ASWELL SHOULD BE RE-
TURNED.

The following editorial express
sion of the New Orleans Item in
regard to an attempt, apparently
emanating, from Arcadia, to de-
feat Dr.. Aswell and push Prof.
Henry E. Chambers. of New Or
leans. exactly expresses our
sentiments:
A Mr. r. A. Smith. of Arcadia,
sends us documentary evidence
of an assault on the candidacy OF
DR.. J. 3. Aswell for reelection
to the State SUPPLEMENTARY OF
education. These were outlined
Yesterday. Along with them he
encloses a request that we ex-
press an editorial opinion or the
subject: and we now take great
pleasure in doing so.
We are acquainted with Sup
erintendent Aswell and have ob-
served his work. His person
atty and general qualifications
we find to be excellent, and we
are pleased with the skill and
industry with which he has been
putting into effect the progressive
policies of the State Board of
Education.
Our opinion is confirmed by
that of every well-informed man
and woman whom we have con-
suited on the subject. 1t was
emphasized by the trustees OF
the University of Mississippi
some time ago. in their effort to
get DR.. Aswell for their chancel-
lor.
Out of the neatly-printed
propaganda of Mr.. Smith we are
utterly unable to extract any
tangible objection to DR.. Aswell
except that he has interfered
with parish boards composed OF
men who we're legally appointed
and commissioned"
As a matter of fact, he has
done nothing of the sort, save to
carry out the clearly-defned
orders of the State Board OF Ed
ucation. If he had done so, how
ever, we should count it an
offense rather to be praised than
blamed. Interference" is what
a great many of our parish
school boards most need. Con-
tinual interference is the price
of Louisiana's relief from the
degradation of it's position at the
tail of the parade of American
education.
There can be no earthly OBJ
lection to Mr.. Chambers lrrup-
ton into the crowded fray of fall
politics, if he hungers for battle.
Nor yet is there a shade of an ex-
cuse for putting out OF office so
able and devoted a public officer
as DR.. Aswell. merely because
some other wishful citizen looks
with green eyes at his job.
While the Item would not for
worlds discourage the opposition,
it will heartily give whatever its
good will is worth to re-elect DR..
Aswell and to defeat any other
candidate.
We do not enjoy the honor OF
an acquaintance with Mr..
Chambers. There can be no
doubt, however, to one who has
read the long, double-column,
gallev-prOof into which Mr..
Smith has condensed his bio.
graphy and his qualifications
that Mr.. Chambers is a man OF
the deepest, broadcast and
loftiest attainments. Among his
many distinctions, as cited by
Mr.. Smith, is a fellowship in the
Johns Hopkins University. We
fail to find him so entered in the
Johns Hopkins Register, but this
is doubtless the fault of the
Registrar.
We have no idea at all what
personality is behind the move
ment originated by Mr.. Smith Of
Arcadia, but we are reasonably

The Jewish outlook., 1907-12-06
JeWs as Soldiers

MARIE the Jews figured prominently.
Their heroism at Burgos and Toledo
is recorded on the same golden page
which tells of the romantic daring of
Bertrand du Guesclin and of Edward
the Black Prince, the darlings of me-
dieval chivalry. Nor is more modern
history ignorant of the exploits of the
Jewish soldier Many a Jewish name
is bound up in the Napoleonic legend
although the correspondent who as
serts that Soult was Hebrew was in
errOr-and in the armies opposed to
the emperor they were also conspicu-
Gus. In 1912 Frederick William iii.
of Prussia granted certain amount
of political freedom in recognition of
their bravery on the field of battle.
Jewish regiments fought in all the
Polish struggles for freedom, and
Colonel Berek, Il Jew, was one of the
heroes of Kosciusko s memorable in
surrectiOn. The revolution of 1S4S
also found the Jews courageously
fighting in the cause of freedom. The
American Civil War presents a thou
sand instances of Jewish courage and
patriotism. Already in the early days
of the republic, in 177S, we find a
Jew, Colonel David Franks. figuring
as aide-de-camp to General Washing
ton. 1t is curious to observe in the
great South American revolutionary
movement another jew, General Juan
&c s36fa; play iffg a similar part in res
lation to the Libcrator Bolivar. The
Goth Volunteer Regiment that took
part in many of the battles between
the North and South II quarter OF
century ago, had mainly co-religion-
lists in its ranks. One of the Missouri
regiments engaged in the same war
was principally composed of Jews, and
one-half of the line officers of the 9th
New York Regiment were Jews. The
officers of Colonel Einstein's Phila-
delphia regiment were mostly Jews,
and Generals Lyon and Newman, who
fell on the field of battle, were worthy
descendants of the Maccabeans. In
our recent war with Spain a very large
percentage was found in the United
States army, and in our first Califor-
MIA Regiment, in Manila, 1O7 soldiers
of the Jewish faith were on the roll OF
the fighting regiment.

Bible Is Barred from
Chicago Public Schools

Chicago.-The Bible now stands Of
ficially barred from Chicago public
schools. With the Holy Writ are ex-
cluded all books containing Biblical
excerpts.
The fight that has been waged for
weeks over the proposition of the ia
PRODUCTION of scriptural literature as
supplemental reading in the schools
ended with this result last Friday
afternoon when the school manage
ment committee of the board OF edu-
cation disposed of the matter sum-
marily.
The reason for the rejection OF the
Bible is given by the trustees as fear
that official sanction of its use might
result in evoking distrust of the in
tegrity and unsectarian character OF
the schools.
The matter will not go to the board
as body, unless it is brought for
ward by some trustee.

Jews Cannot Be Barred from Hotels

NEW YORK COURT DECISION OF INTER
EST TO JEWS.
New York.-A decision bearing on
the right of hotel to exclude Jews
was handed down last week by JUS
tice Wauhope Lynn, in the case Of
Watson against Abbott.
A peculiar feature of this case,
which has excited great interest in
Jewish circles, is that none of the
persons directly interested in its out
come are Jews; that all the lawyers
who argued the matter are Chris
tians, with the exception of one, who
was arrayed against the Jews, and
that the judge who decided that it
was un-American to exclude Il man
from n hotel because of his race or
creed was Roman Catholic.
Mr.. Abbott was represented by
George ID. Graves, with Barlow :.
Weeks rs counsel.
From the evidence given at the
trial it appeared that George ii. Alb
bott. a lawyer of this city, had rented
an apartment at the Hotel Renais-
sance. but had changed his plans for
occupying the same and wished to be
released. William Watson, the man
ager of the hotel, agreed that this
might be done if Mr.. Abbott would
find tenant of "undoubted respon-
sibility." In answer to advertise
: ments,s Walter J. Saloaaes y real ss e.
tsie Operator, Win oilces "r 300 rffsff
avenue. looked at the apartment,
found it to he desirable, and agreed to
take the lease off Mr.. Abbott 3 hands.
Before this could be done, how
ever. Mr.. Abbott was told that the
arrangement could not be made be-
cause the owner of the hotel, ID. IL.
King. Jr.. would not take Jews as
tenants. There was no doubt as to
Mr.. Salomon' s financial responsible
ity. nor of his desirabiilty as ten
ant. except for the fact that he was
a Jew. 1t was shown at the trial
that Mr. Abbott could find no other
tenant. and the apartment renamed
unoccupied and the suit for rental
followed.
In the course of his decision. JUS
tice Lynn said:
QUESTION OF RIGHT TO OBJECT.
.Under the circumstances did he
(the plaintiff) have the legal right to
be dissatisfied because. forsooth, he
did not like the color of the new ten
anti s hair or the size of his feet or
the fashion of his clothing? If he had
such legal right, then equally did he
have the right to be dissatisfied with
the new tenant s race or creed.
''But in view of the facts. con-
slider the situation here the same as
if the lease contained "A provision
that the plaintiff would consent to an
assignment of the lease to tenant
satisfactory to him. If it were mat
ter to crafty taste, serve personal
convenience. or satisfy individual
preference, then l would hold that
the new tenant, at all hazards. would
have to be personally satisfactory to
the landlord, but such, in my judg-
ment, is not the case, but, on the con-
trary. one where the law will say
what the contracting party ought In
reason to be satisfied with.
"Therefore it becomes incumbent
upon the court to determine whether
the plaintiff ought in reason to have
