GOOD KING GEORGE.

To those who sincerely mourned the
death of King Edward Friend of the
Jews" comes the welcome tidings that
the son seems inclined to follow in the
footsteps of his illustrious father. A
happy token of this is that King George
has graciously conferred baronetcies
of the United Kingdom upon three
Jews, Alfred Mond, Adolph Tuck and
Carl Meyer The fortunate gentlemen
are not merely knighted, but the bar
onetcy and title are hereditary, trans
mitted from the father to son. Knight
hood on the other hand carries with it
also the Sir" but the right to the title
dies with the one on whom it was orig
inally conferred. AS the king saw fit
to distinguish these three Jewish fam
lilies on his August birthday, we earn
estly join in sincere wishes for many
happy returns of the day.

A REM EDY.

Here is translation of speech de-
livered by General Dumbadze before
the Union of the Russian People:
Dear to my heart, colleagues! You
know how badly wanted to clear Yal-
ia of the Jews, but was prevented. My
advice to you is that you yourself get
rid of the Jews. Rent them no dwell
ings, no business places.
If a Jew offers you one thousand
rubles rent, do not take it. Better rent
it to Russian even for so rubles. unly
thus can you conquer the Jews"
Now if the Jewish millionaires would
take this self-same advice and turn the
tables on the Russian Government by
lending money to other countries at
one-half the rate offered By the Car,
the Jewish situation need not become
so critical nor the sufferings of these
innocent martyrs so long drawn out.
More men of the Brodsky type would
soon solve the Russian Jewish problem
as it is reported of him:
THE famous Jewish millionaire and
philanthropist, l.. Brodsky, of Kieff, is
liquidating his business interests pre-
paratory to leaving Russia forever.
Brodsky possesses about thirty million
rubles. He controls about twenty sug-
ar refineries and employs thousands of
Jewish workingmen. The recent eXpul-
slons affected the millionaire so much
that he decided to leave Russia entire
~"
Now, if few more millionaires in
and out of Russia would become SINH
larly affected it would ultimately help
the Jews more than the intervention of
all the governments on earth. Russia
can't get along one week without Jew
ish money, and it is shame that this
weapon has not been used to bring the
country to its senses.

FAKE RABBlS AND THE "GETT."
Many regularly ordained rabbis, men
of erudition and unblemished charac-
ter, hold the title Reverend" in espe-
cial destestation. The reason is that
every petty Nobel, Chazan, Shochet,
Shammos or any other Jew with a
smattering of Hebrew pretixes the
Rev" to his name at will. This class
labor under the impression that by the
help of the title they can cut as wide
a swath in the estimation of their I'M
pretending co-religionists as in the opin-
ion of the "Goyim" to whom the title
really signifies dignity of which this
gentry have no conception, and to
which they can never hope to aspire.
These self-styled "reverends,' these
pseudo rabbis, on the strength of the
title and stove-pipe, have in many
instances assumed the functions of
regularly ordained clergyman and mar
ried couples without so much as receiv-
ing permission from the Board of
Health BY their action in many states
they have invalidated the claims of
offspring of these unions as distant rel
atives can step in and claim the es-
tate of husband and father on the
ground that the marriage was celebrat-
ed by an unauthorized party.
In the case of divorce they have be-
come a positive menace to Judaism.
These fakirs have caused untold mis-
cry by aiding and abetting unscrupu-
lous men in handing their wives bill
of enforcement, Gett" on the slight
est provocation, thus placing both par
ties in state of transgression, under
our law.
the time-honored "Gett" is very hard
to obtain. No conscientious rabbi will
undertake to separate couple, no mat,
ter how mis-mated, without an almost
endless amount of "red-tape," investi-
cation and ceremony.
But these so-called "reverends" have
performed this difficult service on any
pretext where fee was in sight. In
the congested quarters, where Jews
most do congregate," has this practice
among them become so prolific a
source of income that they have actual
ly become rich therefrom.

DEGREE FOR RABBI GEORGE FOX

Jews are dangerous. They must not
stay in an important Russian city
like Moscow. SO the five.year.old
child must, too, leave. He must go
back to the Pale of Settlement. The
law must take it's course. 1t must
be obeyed to the letter.
Why should such story occupy
more than six lines an an up-todate
American newspaper? Why should
Americans be made to read about
such happenings? Why should a
daily paper give more of it's valuable
space to such a story? Why distress
the American readers? Why distract
fFom'the enjoyment they have insread-
ing baseball news? Space? There are
plenty of things to fill space. Are
there not enough millionaires who
marry and divorce? Are there not
enough actresses whose private lives
must be laid bare for American read
ers? Why should the space in news
papers be given over to the story of
a little Jew boy" who had been TAX
STA, just because he happens to he a

Who suggested the unity of the hui
man race? Oh, yes, that is good
enough subject for a sermon on Sun
days. Makes fine phrase in the church
from the pulpit on the Sabbath. But
a newspaper is issued every day. 1t
is a workday affair. Why editoralize
about such things? Brotherhood OF
man? But where does the five-year-ol1
Jew kid come in? Why should peo-
pie bother about him? Who told him
to be born Jew? What right has any
one to be Jew in a Christian world?
Christ himself? Oh. that is a different
story entirely. 1t has been so long
since He lived that His so-called fol-
lowers have forgotten He was Jew.
They have even forgotten what he
taught They call themselves Chris
tians and believe He could come and
dwell with them again. Aye, what if
He came disguised as little Jewish
boy, came to Russia where they know
very little about Him and His teach

Gus. Out with you, little Jew! You

Imagine also man of Roosevelts
type being satisfied with a representa-
tive to a foreign court who would dare
send in a report that he had been in
formed, presumably by the Russian
brutes themselves, who are using ev-
cry means in their power to suppress
any news of the truly horrible situa-
ton reaching The outside world.
The Russian government has even
gone so far as to demand of the direc-
tors of the Gallery at the Glass Palace
of Munich to remove Immediately
sensational painting depicting the hor-
rors of the pogroms of 1905. 1t is by
the Polish artist Fabianski, and shows
in the most graphic manner a pogrom
scene in Kieff in which row of mutt
lated bodies before the Women's Hos
pital are Knocked by the Cars Mani
festo of religious liberty fluttering di-
rectly above them.
The painting is entitled, "In the
Realm of the Gar German artists

mand, but the authorities acceded to it.

that Mr.. Wheeler, at st. Petersburg,
must have been Informed" along the

That the present administration is
far from friendly to the Jews is fur
Their evidenced by the very recent &C
ton of the Department of Labor and
Commerce in deporting thirty-four
Jewish immigrants on their arrival at
Galveston. The Department claims the
new arrivals came at the solicitation of
societies, who held out promises of en-
ployment which is direct violation
of the law against Contract Labor.
That this is unjust can easily be DEM
onstrated as these poor refugees were
compelled to leave by the home gov
eminent, and not induced" to do so by
employment agencies operated in this
country. That the Jews here use ev-
cry means in their power to provide
employment for these unfortunates is
well known, but overlooked by the De-
partment which is bent on excluding
these fleeing creatures.

POLITICS AND THE RUSSIAN STU

That the promises of common poll
ticians are not worth much, has be-
come almost automatic, but that we
should look to the President of the Unit
ed States as fitting exception to this
rule was not far from wrong on our
part either. Unfortunately we are find
ing out that he is proving himself no
better in keeping a promise than the
petty ward-heeler, the veritable time
server"
When running for his high office, he
was most profuse in promises to the.
Jews whose vote he needed, saying that
he would help all in his power, the
measures they wished passed Since his
election, however, his attitude has been
anything but favorable to the Jews.
Many instances could be cited against
him. Witness the last act in the farce
being enacted in getting the United
States Government to intercede on be-
half of the hapless Jews of Russia.
Representative William Hughes of
the Sixth Congressional District sent
the following telegram to President
Taft:
