is THERE A JEWISH VOTE?

For some years now we have been
confronted with this question in this
country. 1t seems that since the great
Russo-Jewish immigration to our
shores began, the Jews in certain sec
tions where they have settled in large
numbers, are factors in politics. Poll
tical subjects are supposed to be taboo
Ito the columns of the Jewish press for
the wholly justifiable reason that they
are to be viewed from a non-sectarian,
not sectaIian height. In this re-
spect, however, there is considerable
to be said OH both sides. Recent i'm
migrants from Russia, Roumania, ana
Austria, and their immediate descend
ants regard themselves as members
of race-the jewish They do SO
despite the protestations of ethnolo-
gists or of the Board of Delegates on
Civil and Religious Rights of the
Union of American Hebrew Congre-
cations or Of the American Jewish
Committee. AS the Irish or Germans
among us look upon themselves as
entitled to certain privileges because
they are Irish Or Germans, so the Jews
enter politics with the view and dis
tinct purpose of obtaining these priv
leges
In the foregoing sense there is un-
doubtedly a Jewish vote in this coun-
try, and, no matter whether we like
it or not, it is bound to grow in i'm
portance and influence

There is much being said as to how
to interest the young men in the Syn

The many guests filled the Badt

performed. The decorations, which
consisted OF carnations and brides
roses, together with the many cleo
trio lights and gorgeous costumes
worn by the guests, presented a mag
nificent picture. The ushers. who
came first, were Messrs. Hyman Badt,
Isaac Williams, Leslie Flemings and
Isidore L. Brin, of Terrell.
The bridesmaids were Misses Ger
trude Badt, Birdie Marx of New Or
leans, and zenofia Slaughter, who
were handsomely dressed in white
lace, draped over pink satin, and car
ried pink carnations. The bride was
attended by her sisters, Mrs Leo
Krouse of Texarkana as matron of
honor and Miss Adele Badt as maid
of honor; both were handsomely
dressed in white lace over pink satin.
The best man was DR.. Morris b.
Badt of Galveston. The little flower
girls, Augusta Lalla Badt Regina
Krouse. and Lucille Krouse, dressed
in white and pink, looked beautiful.
Then came the groom, escorted by
Mrs. j. N. Badt, who looked regal
in a gown of silver grey cashmere
de sole. The bride, who looked beau
tiful in her bridal robe of white crepe
meteor, was escorted to the pulpit
by her father, Mr. J. M. Badts After
the ceremony the family and bridal
attendants were entertained with a

GOOD ROADS ARE BEST
INVESTMENT, SAYS
JUDGE

Federal Judge Hanford took a
trip over the new west road, eight
miles of which are now completed,
yesterday. He prophesies that it
will prove one of the best invest
ments that Spokane has ever made.
"Good roads are the best invest
ment that the people of Washington
can make" says the Judge. Good
roads, together with its excellent
hotels, has done more to make the
state of California the mecca of
tourists than its climate. California
produces big crops Of grain and
fruit and nuts, but its crop Of tour
lists is its most profitable one"
