THE CUMBERLAND COMPANY
CERTIFIES To 759 phones
This is the Number Named in Assessment to the
State Railroad Commission, But Charge
On Basis of 800.

1t Is stated on reliable authority
that on or about June 1 the Cumber-
land Telephone Company of this city
gave in it's total number of telephones
at 759.
This was the number certified to the
state railroad commission and 1t is
supposed to be correct, as it would
not appear probable that the Cumber.
land Company would give in and Ger.
tify to smaller number of phones
than the company really has in order
to evade small payment of taxes.
In view of the fact that the Cumber
land is charging business men rates
based on 800 paid phones, it appears
that they are getting more than is
coming to them.
According to this the company will
pay taxes on basis of 759 phones.
1t is charging for service on basis
of 800 or more, which is SO cents pei
phone for each business house more
than they are entitled to.
This is a business proposition.
The Cumberland should be required
to live up to it's franchise, the same
as any other concern.
The people want the Cumberland
to have what is justly and legally due
them, but since the company certifies
to the railroad commission that it has
less than 800 phones, by what right
have they to collect on the present
basis of 800 or more, when the actua
number is 759, forty-one phones less

The Home and Religious
Instruction

When all Jewish life has disappear
ed from the home. when religion has
lost it's Significance and value in the
estimation of parents. when even the
highest Jewish festivals are no longer
allowed to disturb the daily habits Of
the family life. or when one does not
scruple to speak depreciatingly of
Jewish institutions and customs in the
presence of children. and to define
religious instruction as an unneces-
sary nuisance which one would like to
see removed: then it is not the teacher
of religion who creates discord be-
tween the school and the home. but
the parents who prevent the harmo-
NOUS development of their children
and rob them of the blessings which
religion places within their reach.

Israel's Caluminators

Like Israel itself. the great princi-
pies of its religion have often been
assailed by calrlmny and misrcpresen-
tation. How many truths of Judaism.
like the people itself. have not behind
them history of unbroken attack
and defence. How often have not ef-
forts h"en made to remove Israel from
its high pedestal by means of endea-
YOURS to vilify its brilliant teachings.
to interpret them falsely and often to
pour ridicule upon them. If this hap
pened nearly two thousand years
ago in order to carry a propaganda
for new religion which desired to
be. but could not succeed in being
more elevated than Judaism. later on
it became simply one of the many wea-
pons in the hands of Jew haters who
sought to deprive Judaism of its SUI
periority.

The position of Rabbi w. :. Fried

Sunday night before mass meeting OF
physicians. clergymen and thousand
laymen. that cons,lmptiveS in active
stages of the disease should Ike dis
s,,aded from entering into the mar

The address at the mass meeting has
caused wide discussion. Rabbi Fried
man, who was the founder of the Ma
tional Jewish hospital for Conslimp-
tives in Denver. and one of the best
posted men in the country on the dis
ease was reported as saying that
cleryymen should refuse to perform
the marriage ceremony for persons af
flicted with the disease in active form
This is not his position. He asked the
clergymen to use moral suasion with
active tuberciilar subjects in an effort
to induce them to postpone marrying

In support of this position Rabbi
Friedman has at hand opinions from
the best medical authorities holding
that the offspring of the tubercular
have predisposition to the disease
that makes them easy victims of in
fection whenever they become weak
ened from other disease or from any
of the many causes that tend tn debil
itate.
Rabbi Friedman S position was far
from radical and every one of the
clergymen and physicians who was
present at the meeting agreed with
him that if the victims of the disease
who contemplated matrimony would
desist while their condition was dan
gerous the number of infections
would be materially reduced.
He asked the ministers to visit the
homes of the members of their congre-
cations. and when they found eases
of tuberculosis to urge observance of
sanitary rules for the prevention of
infection of other members Of the
family.
As an illustration he cited the case
of family he visited few days ago.
The father was infected. He lay in
bed with his clothes on and constant

the floor several small children were

more immigrants to come hither.
These are. however. individual

same race or religion as the natives.
public sentiment in favor of restric-
ton never attained any great extent.
1t was only in the thirties and fortics
when most of the immigrants were of
II different race and religion from the
natives. that it rose to a serious de-
gree.
THE KNOW-NOTHlNG MOVEMENT

then reached its high mark. precipi-

stronger and stronger until it ex-
panded into political party. In 1855
it carried nine state elections and fin
ally. in tie election of 1856. it made
at attempt to win over the entire
country by coming out under the
name of the American party with Mil
lard Fillmore as candidate for the
Presidency. This was it's bOldest stroke
and was accompanied by most vio-
lent agitation. In spite of it's siren
nous efforts il was defeated i'm the
election.
The Know-NOthing movement then
began to lose its force 1t had aroused
Indignation in many quarters and
created enemies by the violence of its
campaign. Besides. the question of
slavery became the general topic and
turned popular attention away from
immigration. 1t could not live much
longer. and in 1859 it had but little pO-
litical Influence. In 1860 it's remnants
became merged into the Constitutional
party.
In the latter sixties. when immigra-
ton was needed to fill the gap left
by the War no serious attempts were
made at restriction. From that time
to 1882 Chinese immigration took
up the attention of the legislators and
the public and no specific legislation
against European immigration was
adopted.

In 1882. following the massacreS in

The Restriction of Immigration


of Jewish immigration, IA law was
passed providing for head-tax of
fifty cents on every immigrant. This
was the first instance of such pro-
vision in the Federal legislation. 1t
must be said that at first the head
tax was not imposed with the inten-
tion of putting restriction upon im-
migration. but to defray the expenses
of the immigrant hospital. inspection
station. etc.
In 1893 the head-taX was raised to
81 under the argument that the pre-
vious tax of 80 cents was insuffi-
cient to defray the expenses of the I'M
migration service.
The increased hcad-tax left a sur
plus of millions in the Immigrant
fund. and yet. in the Fifty Ninth
Congress. Representative \. p. Gard
ner. of Massachusetts. introduced Il
bill raising it again to $40. Through
the efforts of the Liberal Immigration
League and of the Federation of Jew
ish Organizations he was forced to re-
ducc it to 50. but the new Immigration
Law of July. 1907, provided for
head tax of -. Since this amount is
pay for the immigration service, we
must assume that the sole purpose of
the increase was to restrain immigra-
ton.
AT the present session of Congress
restrictiOnist bill has been intro
duced again increasing the head-tax
to 500.
NO RIGHT OF APPEAL.
The present immigration law does
not provide for right of appeal.
This means that an immigrant may be
condemned to deportation by the ex-
amining officers and the Board of
Special Inquiry" without the posi-
bility of his appealing to court for
re-cXamination or trial, in case he
thinks the decision is unjust. 1t is evi-
dent that the law should be amended
in this respect.
POOR PHYSIQUE.
The present law contains a prOvi-
sion for the exclusion of aliens "Of
poor physique. This measure gives
the inspectors the power to deport i'm
migrants who do not present the ap-
pearance of perfect health and
strength. 1t requires no effort of the
imagination to picture the poor imm-
grant arriving at Ellis Island after all
the hardships of journey and the
vexatiOns of steerage passage, not to
mention the abuse to which he may
have been subjected in Russia and
Roumania Such measure is there
fore obviously unreasonable. 20
PRESENT ENDEAvORS OF THE REsTRIC-
TIONISTS.
Several measures are being advO-
Gated by the RestrictiOnists and are
embodied in the restrictive bills now
pending before Congress. These bills
number five and their authors are the
late Senator Latimer of South Caro-
lima and Congressman Burnett, Rich

From where he sat in the hall he could hear Lord Chetney bidding her
farewell; for, if my idea of him is correct, he understands English

Cheney not to leave her, reminding him of his former wish to marry
her, and let us suppose that he hears Chetney denounce her, and tell
her that at Cairo he has learned of this Russian admirer-the servants
master. He hears the woman declare that she has had no admirer but
himself, that this unknown Russian was, and is, nothing to her, that
there is no man she loves but him, and that she cannot live, knowing
that he is alive, without his love. Suppose Chetney believed her, sup
pose his former infatuation for her returned, and that in a moment OF
weakness he forgave her and took her in his arms. That is the moment
the Russian master has feared. It is to guard against it that he has
placed his watchdog over the Princess, and how do we know but that,
when the moment came, the watchdog served his master, as be saw his
duty, and killed them both? What do you think Lyle demanded.
