Jewish SynagoDuss and Population

In 1905 there wers, according to the
census, 1863 Jewish congregations in
this country. Each of these may be
said to have an average membership of
40 persons, according to the bulletin.
In other words, less than SOC, 900 Jewish
men women and children were connect
eli with Jewish congregations.
But in 1908 it may DO conservatively
estimated that there were certainly no
less than 1,GOO,0O Jews in this country.
and that moreprebably there were g.
10000, says the American Hebrew.

Don't criticise the doctor because n

the desired effect. The prescription
may have been good, but the ingre-

fair show by taking his prescription

TIE REASON FOR THE.
HIGH COST OF LIVING

~. -.
The chief reason. why everybody is
''cussing" the cost of living, as viewed
from the standpoint of the American
Weekly, is shown in the following:
And NV newspapers and legislatures
and congress 'es and councils and labor
unions and sociological societies and
settlement houses are going to find out
the cause of the high cost of living.
'The farmer is Il thief" will be one
verdict; ''he is robbing us ALL
THE housew .fe is fool" will be
another verdict; ''she is wasting more
than she uses"
The American citizen is Il glutt on
will be another verdict; ''he wastes on
luxury and kicks about necessaries."
The butcher will be subpoenaed and
probel as to his conduct of his shop.
Sundry eggs will be immersed in time
to see if they have been kept in cold
storage or on the back porch,
Slippery green slime will be scooped
out of the pleural and other cavities of
refrigerated chickens.
BenZoate of soda tests will be made
searched for cmbalminS fluid. while the
apple butter is being tested for shreds
of rutabaga tunips.
Preachers will preach, and the godly
will pray, while the ungodly cuss and
some lisp, Give us this day"
And what is the answer?
Well our friends down in Wall street
have simply murtgaged tomorrow, and
we are expected to pay interest on the
debt.
Morgan is millionaire. but he didn't
earn his millions. He capitalized the
future cunning power of railroads-and
We must pay freight based not on mile
age but on capitalization.
Andy Carnegie has stack of bonds,
and there are two scOro steel multi
millionaires. But their securities are
not measured by their mills and mines
but by the monopoly of the trade. And
when the farmer is made to pay for his
wire fence, and some interest on
watered bonds and stocks, he naturally
has to charge more for his produce.
Similarly the beef and the leather.
and the wool, and sugar, and the flour
trusts must each earn dividends ON
watered stock, and to do so must boost
prices.
And when materials go up, and food
goes up, the men and factories not in
trusts must boost their prices.
So we are all giging each other in
Self-defense.
And it is all necessary, not because
labor and land, and machinery and
buildings, and rain and sunshine and
fuel are scarce, but because Gods
pantry has been anticipated, capitalized
and we are made to pay today profit
on next years crop, and royalty on
unborn beef.
In word. If $4,000, 900, 900. has
artifcially been added to the capitaliza-
tion OF the nations industries, then to
earn . per cent on this fiction somebody
mutt pay $500, 600, O0O.O per year
more than things are worth.
That's added to the cost of living.
