The Greeks Among us Whom We
Desplse.

*
Cedar Rapids Republican: we
should not permit ourselves to be-
come afflicted with Greek-phobia.
Eyen Greeks are human beings,
although some may live in forgetful-
ness of it. They are the descendants
OF great people. Homer and Plato
and Aristotle and Phidias and
Socrates and Aeschylus and Aristo-
planes and Pericles, all these were
Greeks in their day and generation.
They laid the world and all future
time under tribute to their genius.
The torch that burns on Bedloe's
Island in the harbor OF New York may
go out, but the torch of Greek learning
will never be extinguished. There
1 is something in the boy with the dark
skin who blacks your shoes that Is
worth considering. He seems to be
down now. In this country he has to
begin all over again. 1t is hard work
for him, for he Is poor, working under
bad system, with even the language
unlearned. But he may get up. He
has good stuff in him. His blood is
royal blood IN the history of the
world He'll get up. He is sturdy and
he is willing to work. He has been
| hurled back into the darkness of
nothingness and he is willing to work
/ his way out. The writer must confess,
these thoughts have often come to
him as these boys perform their
mental services for him. He wouldn't
kick Greek bootblack down any
more than he would kick "houn'
! dawg aroun The greatest thing
/ in the world is consideration consid-
Grafton for all things that have the
spark of life in them.
/ The Greeks at the present time are
the men who are doing our most
mental labor, often the labor that no
i others will do for us. They do the
work that others can not or will not
do. They shovel coal where the rest
| of us can not live. They wipe our
feet and they work On the railroad
tracks along the shores of the Salton
sea where the mercury stands at 40
/ and where the sun shines all day. And
for this we despise them. We are
apt to look down On those who do
our hardest and dirtiest work. Those
who have been slaves are looked down
upon not to the third and fourth
generation. but to the seventy and
seventh generation.
In this country we have looked
down upon others. Nearly century
ago they organized the Knownothine
movement against the Dutch" and
the Irish" especially if they were OF
the Roman Catholic faith. Even in
Philadelphia, they burned the build
ings in which these people lived
They were the poor and the despised
a of that day-the strangers, the for
4 eigners. the men who did the hardest
and the dirtiest work. But they have
come up. They We're willing to work
and they have become the honored
integral part of our cosmopolitan
population. The rage of the Know
nothings was not more unreasonable
than some of the modern rage against
Greeks and "Dagoes. The Italians
have already climbed up They have
become business men, many of them
They will be heard from in future
American history.
All that we have right to ask o.
the Greeks is that they shall live
according, to American standards
Clearly, decently, as individuals ant
families. not after the manner Of

actually try to do something worth
while for the community find their acts
misrepresented and their intentions

easy to understand, then, that faction

ity as a whole. Men who aspire to
leadership for selfish reasons naturally
encourage factionalism for in this they
secure and maintain power and infiu-
ence. 1t is to their interest to en-
courage misunderstanding and to APP
peal te prejudices rather than to actual
facts. Their efforts and influence are
directed to that end regardless of the
effect upon the community or any in
stitutiou in the community. The wise
and thoughtful citizen will not permit
himself to be stampeded by appeals TO
prejudice, to hasty action which may
result in harm and injustice. Rather,
he will be guided by his calm judg-
ment. Even when the case warrants
action, in his opinion, he will refrain
from uttering untruths or wicked in
situations to explain his actions. He
knows that good cause needs no lies
and that angry words and mean sus-
picions serve only to conceal the truth
and make clear understanding or frank
discussions impossible. The true friend
of community or of an institution
will not lightly follow others into a
factional fight. Who knows what the
real purpose Of the leaders may be?

analyze the character and probable
purposes of him who would excite him

WAS PRETTY HEATED. 100

Wisconsin democracy experienced
quite little of the rancor so prevalent
in the popular politics of the day, when
assembled in convention at Milwaukee,
last week. 1t was neck and neck
race between A. j. Schmidt and Judge
Karel, both of Milwaukee, for the
gubernatorial endorsement. Karel had
a majority, but the names of each will
be placed on the primary ballot. And
the real fight of the convention was
over the income tax, Karel declaring
for unconditional repeal of the law,
while Schmidt was for amendment.
The latter program was comprised on.
Democratic nominees placed in the
field to be voted for at the PRIMARIES
are:
Governor dolph ]. Schmtz and John c. Kar-
el. both of Milwaukee
Lieutenant Governor-H. A. Mohlenpah Gin.
ton. and II. w. Bolen, Port Washington.
Secretary Of State Andrew j. Kealy. Hudson
State Treasurer-G. S. Lombard, Marshield
and Mic olas Schmidt. Marathon.
Alton ~ General-J. +. Doherty, La Crosse and
Charles A. kading, Watertown.

Senator William Lorimer of illinois,
was unseated in United States senate
on Saturday last by vote of 55 to rs.
The first senator deposed in that august
body in many years. Bribery in his
election was charged, although it was
nowhere shown by the committe max
ing investigation that he was party
to the alleged unlawful acts. Lorimer
made three days speech in his own
defence. 1t will be remembered that
Lorimer's election came by the Illinois
Legislature three years ago following a
deadlock, 81 democrats and SO repub-
licans compromising on him. Then
came the expose by one White, ademo-
crat, an irresponsible accident in the
lower house, who made revelations of
the use of money in election of sena-
tor and much of the legislation enacted,
or failed to be enacted. Illinois is q
dirty mess, politically.
