A CONTRAST.

but oppose her. Now that she is in

With this issue the Herald has

That we are gratified puts it but

The obstacles we have had to over
come. the influences we have had to
counteract. We had at one time
gone so far as to try to please every
body-but "quoth the raven, never
more" We have had people try to
tell what to put in and what to leave
out-and even some societies of large
membership attempted to act as press
censors and put a muzzle on the Her
aid, and one organization disliked us
so cordially that they not alone plac-
ed obstacles in our direct path but at
tempted to WELD the lash of the boy

If the members and especially the

awake to the fact that the outside
world is waiting for the organization

would have headquarters for some
thing more than mere social pleasure

from the American "Israelite:"

be raised without trouble. This or

AN OLD ANNOYANCE.


AN OLD ANNOYANCE.
Every Jew and Jewish pournal
should fall in line with the sentiments
against the jew Comedian" as eX-
pressed so vigorously by Mr.. Gunst,
the editor of The Jewish Record"
His attitude will undoubtedly gain him
the enmity of many theatrical people,
just as a similar one has done for the
Herald, but Justice demands that these
considerations be laid aside, and the
nuisance handled in such fashion that
stage managers will be glad to abate
it and speedily at that.
We quote Mr.. Gunst: That Jew
comedian of the duo gains laughs as
do the grotesque caricatureS in comic
supplement-no one ever saw anything
like them and the laugh is at mon
strosity."
1T was only when the young man
sang a parody in Yiddish that he
arrived" Not one-half of one per cent
OF that audience understood what he
was saying, but everyone there knew
that he was ridiculing the Jew, and
they laughed"
Now all self-respecting Jews under
stand that this is carrying caricature
too far They must not forget also
that the remedy for this evil lies
within their own hands to be ap-
piled when they arrive at their
own discretion. Let one and all take
to heart the advice of Mr.. Gunst.
ITO you who read the Record Cor
any other Jewish JournaD stay away
from the Casino (the scene of the
comedians misadventures). l will see
that the manager of the Casino gets
a copy of the Record. If he intends
to continue such affronts to Jews,
stay away from his theater. Then
you touch his weak spot-the box
office-and sooner or later our vic
tory will be won"

lied milk among the poor OF New
York. The reason for this unfavorable
action lies in the fact that Mr.. Straus
and his great philanthropy have be-
come the subjects of underhand per-
sonal attacks, actuated, no doubt, by
the jealousy that ranllles deep in those
of petty souls. Every Thoughtful per
son knows that next to the nourish-
ment derived by children from the le
Ultimate source, there is no substitute
SO wholesome as the milk procured
from healthy animals, this product
sufficiently diluted to agree with in
FAINT stomachs. The least contamina-
ton works untold harm on the child's
delicate organism. Whether pasteur-
ization of milk does more harm than
good is a moot question, but one thing
is certain that it is better for the
poor to receive the boon of Mr.. Straus'
kindness with the doubt attached, than
to be altogether deprived of so great
a necessity as this rich fresh milk,
put up under a costly sanitary sys-
tenn and delivered to them free of
all charge.
1t is to be sincerely hoped that Mr..
Straus will pass by the slanderous
attacks of the jealous back-biters and
see his way clear to doing Gods work
as heretofore.
He who labors to promote the ply
steal we'll being of his race; he who
strives to increase the health, happi-
ness and intelligence of mankind can
not miss having reflected on his
own soul the benign smiles of those
whom he is benefitting.
To the back ground with these pet
ty caviler! Let no action of theirs
mar the sublime work of one of our
great sons in Israel.
We reproduce a communication
from Mr.. Straus relative to this great
philanthropy, for he is devoting his
efforts to providing pure milk, not
alone in the United States, but in Ger
many as well. No one would under
take to estimate, offhand the exact
expenditure of money necessary to
carry on this good work. The read
err can then better judge what hard
ship the dscontinuance of this would
curtail on the poor of New York. Mr..
Straus writes:
ut is quite correct to claim that the
high mortality among infants in
Germany is directly attributable to
the poor quality of the milk. In
the United States, wherever ! have
introduced pasteurization, the NOR
tality rate has fallen as if by mag

moving platform under certain thorough
fares of Manhattan. moved upon the
Public Service Commission yesterday and
for about an hour talked over the situa-
ton. The routes proposed were under
Broadway from Tenth street, where the
Observation-Disclosures avenue subway is to
leave Broadway, to 42d street, thus supply
ing that portion not covered by subway
service.
1t was said that the real object OF the
visit was to show the commission visible
and palpable evidence OF the support back
of the scheme. The commission is con-
sidering the Broadway plan, although the
Board of Estimate and Apportionment of
last year favored trying a moving platform
under 34th street. The specifications sub
mtted by the company called for four
platforms, moving at the rate of three
six, nine and twelve miles an hour
