JEWISH PROBLEM
 IN VIENNA

Vienna, Aug. S.-The increase of the Jewish population has brought about a troublesome educational problem in Vienna. The lower house of the Aus trian Reichsrath has just rejected a motion calling upon the government to take measures to bring the percentage of Jewish pupils in secondary schools into comparative harmony with the statistics of population. The motion which spran@ from a Christian Social ist demand for the establishment of special schools for Jewish children, was lost by 205 votes to l62 The mo- tives of the Christian Socialists were not free from all suspicion of racial prejudice. It seems that owing to the more precocious development of Jewish children and their rapidity of assimilation some of the secondary schools are almost monopolized by Jewish pupils.

THE CITY BOY.

Go over the list of men in the city who have done things. Nine-tenths of them were reared in the country.
 Why is this so?
 Because boy needs wide spaces in which to grow. He needs elbow room. The boyish swath is a wide one. He must be noisy. He must bubble over, just as a teakettle must. In the city he is cribbed, cabined, confined. He has little chance to let himself out. He lacks the free play of his nature.
 Poor city boy!
 For him there are no wide echoing fields or shady woods where wander lust may lead him. For him no vent of blood that runs riot in his veins. For him no company and touch of sympathetic nature.
 Poor city boy!
 They say he is awkward, rude, de structive What wonder? The wonder is that he does not explode. He is all boy: that's why he is worth raising" He spells Force! And he is scolded and blamed for being what he is. Mothers fear he will spoil the furni- ture if he stays in the house. Give the lad some money and let him go out on to the streetS-StreetS that oftentimeS are the very gates of hell.
 An unspoled boy-in city or in coun- try-is about the finest thing on two legs.
 The normal boy-under his vest-is affectionate His heart-if you know how to find it-is larger than his head. He is naturally honest. He is also frank And. above all else, the real boy stands four square. everywhere and always. for fair play. He believes in the square deal. Later on he may lose some of these qualities. Cheated. he may grow dishonest. Disappointed, he may lose his frankness. Disillu- stoned. he may quit wearing his heart on his sleeve Rut as a boy-he is sim ply admirable,
 Give the city or town boy his chance
 Send him to the country as often as possible There is where he naturally belongs Let him build his shop in the back yard CT in the basement. Give him. if possible, a room of his own. And don't be stingy about the furnish ings. Put some refnementS about him.. Of course his room will often be topsy turvy. Let it. He is not young gentleman He is Boy. And God bless him! Let him bring his chums home with him. Let them romp and raise Cain" Give him vent
 Give the city boy chance, you pub lie officials. Give him playgrounds and room for his calliope voice. Multiply the parks. Nentiate his schoolrOom. And when he goes wrong provide a juvenile court and proper guardians. The country reared boy has beaten | the city reared boy because the former 1 has had the better chance.

COMING OPERAS CAST THEIR

VOICES sEFoRE-Under the able direction of J. Homer Grunn and T..
 Francis Hughes there is now in prep aration the old standby of music, one that has never turned a hungry stran- ger from the box office, 'The Chimes of Normandy" The chorus is bound to be one that the town of Phoenix can be proud Of, as there is no doubt that this place contains more good voices than any town of its size in the country. Any one passing the School of Music can be assured of this, and there are several new voices that have but lately come here that are promised to be more than a surprise. This is what is really needed to stir the people up and it is, and always has been a shame that such talent as Phoenix possesses should hide it's head under piano cover. This treat is to be given about the sixth of November and it goes without saying that the house will be filled with all the music lovers of the town, and all the people that take a pride in what can be ac- complished beside raising alfalfa.

The Increased Cost of Iivino

The Boston Globe thinks that our
prosperity should be looked at from all
sides. 1t is not altogether a question
of work. If man work harder than
ever and have less surplus. because
he must pay more for the necessaries
Of life. is he prosperous? The Globe.
after setting out in detail increase of
prices, says:
All these increases in prices since
the year 1896, when Mr. Bryan first
ran for the presidency are significant.
Since that year the householders GER
tainly have not prospered so far as
moderate prices for food are con
cerned. The meat and other food
trusts have had their way and de
manded and received eXOrbitant rates.
Should there not have been some i'm
prOvement in this matter in dozen
years of Republican rule in the ma,
ton? The trouble now is that the
purchasing power of a dollar is far
less than in past years. In 1890 dol
lar would purchase ISL pounds of
fresh beef, and the same in 1896. but
in 1907 it would only purchase 6.47
pounds. For tie United States. as a
whole, the average cost of food per
family in 1890 was $31S20. In 1896
the year of lowest prices, it fell to
S29G.76; in 1907 it reached the highest
point of the 1S-year period named, be
ing $37475"

SOME sloELIeHTs ON TARIFF.
Facts That Prove HarmfuIness of the
Republican Policy.

One interesting feature of the pro-
tective tariff is that more than 40 OF
the entry ports where Uncle Sans
officials collect customs don't take in
enough to pay the salaries of the Off
GERS. Why should it be necessary to
maintain at Brownsville. Tex. a force
of 26 officials at an annual cost of S32.-
O04 to collect s4.S50 in dues?
What is the sense of a system which
pays 1878 at Nantucket for the COllec-
ton of $3.50? Why should two Gus
toms officers at Beaufort, S. c., receive
$1,509 for gathering $1.55? Would a
business concern run its affairs that
way? Hardly.

afford to lag in the movement to lift
the burden from the general public

GEORGE ON THANKSGIVING

Thanksgivin' day comes year because the
Pilgrim band
Was thankful that they had the sense to leave
their native land
And the sea to find a stern and rock
bound shore
Where they would never haft to bow to bosses
emmy more,
Where thieves would not break in and steal and
trusts would never try
To eobbIe everything and let the little dealer die.
qrims came
In search of freedom where they knew that they
would find the same,
Where would be brothers, where the
strong would aid the weak,
Where libburty would raise her flag on every
craq and peak,
Where billionares would never dare to cheat
for profits sake
Or break the laws that other not al
lowed break.
We celebrate because the hopes hoped by that
Pilgrim band
Have all come true, because there's not evil
in land,
Because have no wealthy rogues to plan and
plot and scheme
To make the Iibburty we claim a vain and empty
dream,
Because magnates go to church and teach
in Sunday schools,
And everywhere from sea to sea the Christian
spirit rules.
We keep Thanksgivin' day because the man who
does his best
To be an honest citizen is honored by the rest;
He may not have a share of stock or own foot
of land
But all wealthy senators are glad to shake
his hand
And hear his plea and guard his rights with all
the ieus care
They ever give the interests of any millionaire.
We keep the uood old day because no idle rich
ignore
The pressing needs of those where Want is
scratching at the door,
Because have such freedom the Pilgrims
wished to claim,
Because never oppressed and never
splotched with shame,
Because we've frightened Greed away and raised
standard high
And kept the faith for which sires were not
afraid to die.

day opened in this water-ocked land with a great
ringing of bells and every shining doorsill
there stepped into the crisp morning air the house
holds full number Each Hans Gretchen, clasp
ing silverbound prayer book, walked sedately to
the various places of worship and there, lifting up
their sweet Holland voices, harsh, perhaps, in
Speech but full and round in song, sent up musical
praise for the freedom of their land and the good
things of the earth.
Church over, the entire population for the nonce
broke through their usual stOlidness and there
a general scampering of young feet in game
dance and Gathering of older tongues in friendly
gossip as neighbor visited neighbor father vel
coined his large flock Of grandchildren
The great event of this Dutch Thanksgiving day
was dinner at which served as central dish
queer stew of meat and vegetables which they
called Spanish hodge pOdge. For once in their prac-
teal lives the Hollanders became facetious and
this hodge-podge they made merry and cracked
Jokes at their old time enemy--Span. The general
"hash-Iike" appearance of the hodgepOdge was sup
posed to represent the condition of the Spanish
army when the Dutch had vanquished it. Even
the children entered into the fun and kept their
history fresh by gleefully slashing into potato
a turnip and chuckng they swallowed the NOR
sells. This is General So-and-So-ah. Me him
So"
Well the PuritanS heartily approved of the early
religious services of the morning and their healthy
appetites could not fail to appreciate the Spanish
hodge-podge, however much they may have dis
approved of the sentiment which favored it, they
entered most heartily into the Dutch Thanksgiv-
ing of October 3. In 1923 these Pilgrims held Oc-
tober a day of Thanksgiving in the New World
and here we have first true American Thanks
giving day.
This day has passed through many vicissitudes
since that date There is not festival on the al
manac, fixed movable, which has had the strug-
gle for existence that November holiday has
endured.
From 1923 until 1880 Thanksgiving day was held
in America in various months, of the Pilgrims
keeping to October 8 and other coionists holding
a different day by order of the governor
In 1880 the people of M ,sachusetts were suffer
ing for food and clothing and Gov. Winthrop hired
the good ship Lyon to return to England for sup
plies. For many days the vessel lay stranded off
the Isle of Shoals, but finally put out. Winter came
apace, and nothing heard of the ship The
cooniss nearly disheartened when on Feb
ruary %, 1851, the Lyon was sighted and the gov
ernor ordered that the dav be given to feast

record of Thanksgiving day in Boston: it can
still be found in the Colonial Records of Massachu-
sets. 1t is interesting fact that this first Bos-
ton Thanksgiving was held on what is now one of
most patriotic holidays, Washington's birthday
The first record of joint celebration of Thanks
giving day is given in the Colonial Records Of 1892
when Gov Winthrop of Massachusetts bav asked
the governor of Plymouth colony to join him in a

ROOSEVELT IN TRUE LIGHT.
Unsavory Record of Administration
Now Nearing Its End.

We have never had an administra
ton which enforced with SO much ar
rOgance and in SO many offensive
ways policies hateful to every Demo-
crat as the one that is now nearing
its end Under cover of vociferated
virtue it has upheld irresponsible per
sOn3l government; it has undertaken
to override congress and the courts:
it has ignored the constitution and
the laws; it has encouraged eXtraya.
gance, war and waste; it has suspend
ed laws in the interest of favOriteS; ii
has denounced as guilty men who had
not been tried; it has maintained one
standard for itself while holding its
critics to another: it has cOnniyed
with trusts, monopolists and schemers
in raising campaign funds while pre-
tending to assail such offenders. and
to all who protested or eXpOstulated it
has replied with denunciation and Will
ficatiOn.
To make the central figure in this
administration thoroughly complete
and consistent nothing is wanting but
a crown. a scepter and a golden car
riage with outriderS. Hinged here and
there with the eXaggeration of comic
opera, our citizen sultan shows at one
moment the rollicking abandon of
tipsy stage potentate and at another
the drastic tyranny of an Asiatic des-
pot What he does, what he thinks
and what he says is right. What 9th
er people do. think and say is wrong;
therefore, off with their heads or con-
sign them to the limbo of the undesir-
able, for the king cannot err. TC

recklessness and lawlessness he

with great misgivings. They disliked
the manner of his nomination. They
disapproved the methods of his cam

he will be strong enough to rise superb

country a large and statesmanlike ad

help along his political schemes. 1t
doesn't relieve Mr.. Hearst from the
odium of such a resort that he has
precedent for it in the act Of President

invitation one of the leading corpora
tons of the world sent its remons-
trance to the measure A visitor to
Senator Quay's office saw the reply
lying on Mr.. Quay's desk, appreciated
the service it might be to the friends
of the legislation and stole it. The
letter was turned over TO the presi
dent. who caused it to be published

but the transaction was despiceble
nevertheless, and public opinion
should record it's contempt for such
methods.
