THE JEWISH BADGE.
Distinguishing Mark That Was Re
uuired by European Countries.

From the American Hebrew.
To the Jews OF today II is fairly well
known that their ancestors in Europe
were forced to put up with great deal OF
humiliation. one of the most insulting
methods was TO require the. wearing Of q
badge which would stamp the wearer as
an 'inffdel jew" The wearing of a badge
was made a general order throughout
Christendom in the year 12f3. but Il
must have been required in isolated places
before that date.
The most usual form of badge was that
of a ring of distinctive color attached
to the upper garment. Any one Of French
Jewish ancestry Will know that his fore
bears wore ring of this sort. varying
in size and In color-now red, Low yellow
and white. according to the whims of
municipalities and monarchs. It was
generally worn upon the breast. and at
one time it was ordered 70 be worn like
wise upon the back, so that Jew might
be known fore and aft" When a Jew
was found without the badge he was
fined Evidence of the wearing OF this
badge Is found as late as 1892 i'm France
The forefatilers of the Spanish Jews car
ried yellow and red hadge-the men on
their breasts, the women on their fore
heads The wearing of the badge was
not SO prevalent in Italy. but the munich
palities almost all required them. The
badge was known the % from its
shape. resembling probably the ring in
France. English Jews shoui,. feel the
distinction Of having had peculiar sort
OF badge forced upon their ancestors. 1t
was first In the form of a band-first
white and then yellow, and later Jews
were required to wear a badge with the
shape of the Tables of the Law. In
Germany yellow badges were worn. but
here the hat was the chief means of
identification. In Austria and in Poland
there are few traces of the baoge. bur in

BY Associated Press
HOT SPRINGS, Va, Aug. 81.
THE people have ruled

This is William H. Taft's an
swer to Mr.. Bryan's challenge,
"Shall the people ruler"
The answer was made in an address
the Republican presidential candidate
made today before gthering of sew
eral thousand Virginia Republicans,
who came to the mountains to see and
hear him and celebrate Virginia day."
To make his point a bit more clear,
Mr.. Taft referred to Mckinley's cleo
ton as zone of the most intelligent
and effective expressions of popular
will ever manifested to the world, and
the maintenance of the gold standard
and a protective tariff by his admin
istration was a correct Interpretation
of the peoples will"
This was shown to be So" he con-
tinued. s'by even a greater majority
for the party in 1900 and still greater
majority in 1904, when Roosevelt was
elected. and he added. 1--WE well may
submit to the country whether his adj
ministration has not expressed the will
of the people"
Mr.. Taft's speech was quite lengthy
and continued along the same line.

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-The govern

United States court of appeals in the
case against the Standard Oil COM

INMATES OF CLOSED
HOUSES BEG IN VAIN
AT LOSS TO KNOW WHERE TO
LODGE BELONGINGS
Officials Believe Police Surveillance
VIII Be Far More Difficult, but
Woolwlne Expresses HIM
self Well Pleased

Chief Kern would not make state
ment regarding the closing of the red
light district Thursday night, and all
yesterday afternoon he was too busy
to discuss the matter, even had ne
been disposed to do so.
During the afternoon the women who
have been conducting the houses that
have been closed visited the central
station and made unsuccessful ellofts
to be allowed to continue their Dusl-
ness. They asked that they be per-
mitted to remain in the buildings I'M
til they could make arrangements Tor
securing other houses, so that they
could move their belongings, furniture
and fixtures. Some of the women are
at loss Just what move to make. They
feel certain that the reform will last
only a short time, and believe the dis
trict then will be opened wider than
ever. Under these circumstances they
intend to remain in Los Angeles and
await developments.
In the opinion of many interviewed,
the closing of these places has resulted
in the scattering about town OF a class
that heretofore had been congregated
in one district, where the police mad
entire control and could keep it under
district was out of the beaten path,
and its proximity to Chinatown made
il easy for the police to exercise care
full watch over the district and to keep
order
1--WE had but little trouble when the
people of the red light were kept in
one district said a police official, land
there was seldom any disturbance in
that part of the city. With the China
town squad near by and the regular
men on beats in that section, we could
look after the houses in a thorough
manner. Now that the houses have
been closed and the occupants notified
to seek other quarters, the police will
have a difficult task in keeping track
of them They have scattered over the
city, and. should the order closing the
houses be rescinded tomorrow 1t would
be months before we should be able TO
round them up and get them back into
the old territory again"
The foregoing statement seems 10
voice the general sentiment regarding
the closing of the district given over to
the denli-monde.
Prosecuting Attorney Thomas L.
Woolwine, who has been agitating the
movement to close the tenderloin, is
passing his vacation at Forest Home,
near Redlands. In telephone message
he expressed his satisfaction with the
clean sweep made by the police in wip-
ing out the district that has f1ourisned
undisturbed for the last two years. 1T
am glad l persisted in my efforts to
have those houses closed" said Wool
wine. IT felt sure that the police
would be compelled to take action at
an early date"
