THE Jewish press should first and
last be for things Jewish. Things
Jewish should be for righteousness
and justice. If the statements made
in the Houston Evening Record by
Earl McFarlane have a sembIance of
truth it is high time the grand jury
began an investigation Can it be
possible that the taxpayers of this
city, which boasts of perfection in
municipal government, are supporting
a lot of crooks? Have we a Folk in

ton? Is our Heavenly Houston to
have a reputation like st. Louis and
Pittsburg? Let us have an investiga-
ton. Let us use the probe Expose

Some of our friends grow impatient
at what seems to be slow action on
the part of the members of the Build
ing Fund Committee of the Jewish
Literary Society. We would impress
upon them the fact that the ]. L. S.
has only limited number of mil
lionaires on it's roster and as business
gets dull in the summer they will
get busy real soon. Let each member
contribute his mite, then call on his
friends to do their share. Co-opera-
ton is a wonderful thing. Try it and
you'll repeat the dose.

37TH ANNUAL CONVENTION DIS
TRICT GRAND LODGE NO. 7,

of delegates and visitors to the 37th
Annual Convention of District Grand
Lodge No. Z, l, O. B. B. to be held in
Mobile April 18th to Goth, we beg to
submit the following:
The local committee, together with
the district secretary, and with the as
sistance of much influence, have been
unable up to this time to obtain any
concession in rates from the trans
portation companies. The statement
is made to us this year that the at
tendance of delegates at District l.
o. B. B. convention is not sufficiently
large to justify a reduction in rates.
This committee believes that railroad
legislation which has caused reduc-
ton in passenger rates in most of the
states is the probable cause Of re-
fusal of further reduction. We intend
to continue to insist that some reduc-
ton be given our delegates and visit
ors and hope yet to be successful.
Whether we are or not, we recon-
mend that delegates and visitors in
buying tickets take receipts for
amount of fare paid.
Mobile furnishes the following ho-
tel accomm odations: Battle House,
European plan, $3.50 per day and up;
Cawthon Hotel, European plan, $1.00
per day and up; Bienville Hotel, Euro
do Hnto
st. Andrew, European plan, $1.00 per
day and up; Klosky's Hotel, European
plan $1,00 and up; Windsor Hotel,
European plan, $1.00 per day and up.
All of the hotels named have cafes
and are located within few blocks
of the Fidelia club, where the sessions
of the Grand Lodge will be held.
The president of the district and
other Grand Lodge officers have re-
served their headquarters at the Bat
tie House. Requests for reservations
may be made to any of the undersign-
ed or to the hotels direct and should
be made promptly.
we are QlrecLeQ by your nOSC, BoCn
Eur Lodge, No. "a, to assure you Of
the cordial and hearty welcome which
awaits you in Mobile next month and
to express the hope that not only
will every lodge in the 18th District
send it's full representation but that
the delegates will be accompanied by
many ladies and friends so as to make
the meeting in this CITY by the Gulf
a splendid reunion of the Israelites
of the Southwestern States.
