HOW TO ELIMINATE PREJUDICE

(Joseph FeIs in London Jewish WorId)
enthusiastically there is an out
break of protest registered in the
newspapers published in the interests
of Jews all over the world. This pro-
test seems to sweep through these
newspapers as a more or less stale
bit of. food for discussion, and the
voicing of it does next to no good, so
far as can see, because it suggests
no remedy in it's presentation to the
world.
would voice the fact that such a
protest amounts to little more than
waste of so much good ink and paper
in the publishing and the destruction
of a certain quantity of grey matter
in its composition, having absolutely
no effect in reducing the prejudice
which is supposed to exist against the
Jews. whatever the cause of that pre-
judice may be.
If the Jews want to eliminate pre1u-
dice and injustice, they can do SO.
But to success, they must not confne
their efforts to attacking the prejudice

officials hung in the balance, then the
only symbol Of the sympathy which
Teddy, chief executive of our nation,
gave these workers was the kissing
across the continent Of thepe term
""UNDESIRABLES."
In 1910 when thousands of girls
and women in New York and Chicago
were striking for a living wage and
decent working conditions, Teddy was
silent. .
But political conditions have chang
ed since then-for Teddy.
So Teddy has to hunt new fishing
grounds. -.
And you are the fish, women of the
working class, it is your vote and your
small change he, is angling for.
He is not a lone fisherman, remem-
Der, but has a goodly bunch of assist
ants, among whom are such well
known workers as Jane Adams and
Mrs. Raymond Robins. These women,
well trained in public life and politics,
are organized, and they will spare
neither money, time nor energH to
elect their "Invincible Teddy" They
are flooding the country with letters
and circulars setting forth the WON
DERFULLY, WONDERFULLY, HUI
NAME issues of Teddy's platform.
These circulars. unblushingly claim
the Bull Moosers to be. the first and
only advocates of the initiative, refer
endumi, recall and woman suffrage.
That the Bull Moose is the only
party that Is instructing its candidates
/! to make suffrage a campaign issue.
| All this in face of the fact that. the
| Socialist party and the Prohibition
party have always had a suffrage
plank in state and national platforms.
When Teddy was fighting against
these very measures the Socialist par
| ty was carrying on energetic state and
national propaganda for them.
Women voters of America. Do not
be mislead by the BIG NOISE or
his ambitious assistants.

striking workingmen? No.
Lecturing working class mothers on
race suicide? No, indeed!
Upon all these subjects Teddy is
strangely silent these days-inconceiv-
able as it may seem-Teddy is silent,
so silent that the populace fairly hears
his silence.
Why this unprecedented silence?
Teddy Is fishing.
Fishing for nickles, dilnes and votes.
Yes-even the nickles, dimes and
votes of the wives of the strikers, of
the mothers of child slaves, of the
very women whom he chastised so I'm
mercifully for not bearing more child
slaves and soldiers for brutal sys-
tenn Of exploitation and militarism.
During Ibis last campaign, when the
Hartman lines and the Harvester
Company were financing his campaign,
Teddy's reply to these mothers who
desired voice in the political and in
dustrial life of our nation, was that it
was no affair of the male voter, for
US to decide the question: between
ourselves. and in the meantime that
we not neglect our duty as women, to
boaf children, to glorify our country
by producing more and more babies
for the mill, the mine, the militia and
the navy.

It is not q question of compromising
1T is question of soaring whatever
we can get out of the enemy.
But, whenever and wherever we
come into complete control, and have
the power to act, it is simply a ques-
ton as to whether we are sincere In
our platform declarations OF not. II
we are, we viii enact them into law
as completely and as speedily as pos
sible. b
# we could consistently deny or
delay equal suffrage in city. we
would for the same reason have to
deny or delay it in the states and in
the nation. For instance, il those who
take this position are correct, we
ought to oppose the equal suffrage
amendments now pending in various
states, lest their adoption delay the
victory of the Socialist party.
II NE were to adopt such tactics, we
would be q lot Of detestable, pusilanim-
Gus and unprincipled towards. We
would be even less progressive than
the old parties, for they ct least
granted the suffrage to women In 3

CHURCHES DENOUNCE
MANY CURE FRAUDS

From thousands, of pulpits in all
parts of the UNITED States, fake cures
for consumption will be exposed and
denounced on Tuberculosis Day, Octo-
Der 27th. This is part Of the program
for the movement announced today bX
the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis.
Literature giving information on
fraudulent and alleged "cures" for con
sumption will be sent to clergymen all
over the country, and an organized
crusade against the traffic lin these
drugs and devices will be instituted.
The literature will be sent to minis
tiers either directly from the National
Association Office in New York or
through the many state and local anti
tuberculosis associations scattered
throughout the country. 1t Is estimat-
ed that over 100, 00G ,clergymen will
be reached in this way.
From actual records on file In the
Office Of The National Association, 1t
is estimated that the volume of bust
ness done annually by the various
concerns who sell fake remedies Tor

600 1000. The number Of these rene.
dies now being used as so-called
cures" is over 500.
Three classes of "cures" are distin-
guished by the National Association.
In the first class are included hun
dreds of devices and drugs which can
be bought TOR any sum ranging from
ten cents to i've dollars at q drug

There are nearly one hundred and
fifty of these institute frauds in the
United States, cheating the people
out of millions of dollars annually.
In the third class of cures" are
placed a number of home made reme-
dies, which either through ignorance
or superstition have been advanced as
treatments for tuberculosis. Some OF
these are onions, lemons, rattlesnake
poison, coal dust, lime dust, pigs
blood, dog oil, milk ."strippings," and
even alcohol.
None of these remedies win cure

Association. No drug. gas or other
material has yet been discovered,
which when eaten, inhaled or inject
ed into the system, will kill the germs
of tuberculosis without doing serious
injury to the body. The only real
cure for tuberculosis recognized by
The National Association consists of
the combination of fresh air, good food
and rest taken under the direction OF
a competent physician.

of condition. Let US set our feet on
old reMdices US bury the old
hates. There nave been holy alli-
ances' of kings Let US strive for the
Holy Alliance Of the people,"
There are many Jews already en-
gagged in spreading the gospel of de-
liverance, and all know that Henry
George truly described its effect on, old
prejudices and hate. Complaints
about prejudice and injustice come
only from Jews who have failed to
take part in this great work.

Judge, In a speech before a body oi

himself opposed to many of the pres,

then spoke of the regulation OF trusts

part he said;
Present laws for the regulation oil
trusts are antiquated. The time will
come when the government will un
dertake the systematic regulation oi
trusts without trying to discourage
their existence.
'The law used to be against the or
ganization of labor unions, but the
law has been changed because labor
ing men have more votes than capital

day.
