Farmers Attend Auction.

The auction sale of livestock and
farming implements held at the FARM
ers' Feed Shed in this city Saturday
afternoon was well attended. M. F.
White, of Rickreall was the auction

that the prices received for horses
were somewhat disappointing. He is
of the opinion that the light demand
was due to the lateness of the season.

Some people are so cock-sure that
they are right and that no other can
be right that they exert themselves to
make enemies of those who are not in
accord with them Thus thew permit
dlsagreements in opinion to become en-
mites. There is absolutely no need
for this. Men and women NAV disa-
gree with men and women, and still
be friends and work together for the
communal welfare. We should all
strive to respect each others opinions,
even if such opinions be not right

PARASITES ON CHARITY.
full to behold indeed where the bene-
fciaries of our Jewish charitable insti-
tutions such as the Cleveland Orphan
Home, the New Orleans Jewish Or
phan Home, the Order of B'nai Birth,
ETC., when, in later days, favored by
fortune or having been placed on
self-sustaining basis, have come for
ward handsomely or, according to their
means, contributed to the maintenance
of these institutions in order that the
good work may be continued.
In contradistinction to this laudable
class, however, we regret to be COM
PEELED to state is another class who
totally oblivious of the benefits extend
ed to them, fatty refuse to contribute
anything to Jewish charities though
amplysable to do so and even permit
themselves to be dropped from the roll
OF membership for nonpayment of dues
of the very same societies to which
they are indebted for substantial aid
in days past of dire distress.
1t is this very same class who
will push their friends and near rela-
tives, whom they are now fully able to
assist from their own boarded means,
on the same charitable institutions de-
handing that their children be taken
care OF and educated in the various
Jewish Orphans Homes, their sadly
afflicted relatives sent to the Denver
Home for consumptives and the Hot
Springs Sanitarium and their dead
given a last resting place in a Jewish
cemetery.
Instead of contributing, at least out
of gratitude, to these worthy institu-
lions, these ungrateful wretches be-
come parasites on sweet charity and
should be held up to the universal
contempt of all mankind

SENATOR BAILEY PRAISES JEWS.

While the Senate was considering
the Sunday closing bill for the District
OF Columbia, comparatively unlm-
portant measure so far as national af-
fairs are concerned, the Jew came in
for tribute that was both spontane-
GUS and sincere
Senators Bailey of Texas, and Mon
ey of Mississippi, two of the leading
Democrats in the Senate, defended the
right of the Jewish people in their OBJ
servance of Saturday as their SABBATH
and praised their race pride and the.
preservation of it's identity. Senator
Bailey said: Il have never attempted
to discriminate against the Jew, De-
cause he has never attempted to dis
criminate against anybody. Not only
so, but no class of people in America
are more law abiding and more thor
oughly respect the rights of every man
than the Jews. That must be said to
their honor here and in every other
forum. They obey the law more ex-
actly than any other of our fellow
citizens; there are fewer of them in
the penitentiary and fewer in the poor
houses than any other race of people"
When Senator Money gained the
floor he said of the Jew: ''There is
no other people en- the face of the
earth who for thousands of years,
without home, have distinctly pre-
served their nationality and their fea-
lures. They have never yet blended
with any other people; they have gone
to every island and every continent
and yet through all the ages they have
preserved with peculiar obstinacy ev-
cry one of the physical features The
Jew of today is the same as the Jew
four thousand years ago in the monu-
mental land of Egypt.
mo man can pay higher tribute
to the Jew than | can for their de-
velopment in philosophy, in music, in
poetry. There never was a book writ
ten like Job, and there are passages
in Isaih of Jehovah equal to any fight
in the Odyssey or the, Illiad. So in
every department of learning, in hui
manitarian work, in philanthropic
work, they stand preeminent. But the
great browning monument of the Jew,
If | may say it, is that he has pre-
served his identity through all the
changes and revolutions of time. Dis

LIABILITY OF HOTELS
ENFORCED IN ENGLAND
Proprietors Must See That Nc
Impure Food Is Served

A lieutenant in the British navy has
recently recovered a verdict of f165
against hotel keeper at Chatham in
England for having been poisoned by
contaminated oysters which were served
to him and a. friend a fellow guest at
the hotel, says the New York Sun. Both
gentlemen were taken ill with typhoid
fever and one of them died.
Shortly before this occurrence the
sanitary authorities of Chatham had
warned the public against the danger
of eating contaminated shellfsh from
the River Medway, on which Chatham
is situated.
The defendant had neglected this
warning and furnished Medway oysters
to his customers. with the result that
he was cast in damages In the amount
named.
This case is of some interest and i'm
portance to American inn keepers as
well as to those of England. While it
involves a simple and logical applica-
tion of the general rules of the law of
negligence, there are comparativel few
reported decisions in cases of this pre-
else character.
Most of the suits against inn keepers
which have found their way into the
higher courts in England and America
relate to the property of guests rather
than 10 their persons.
