From Harpers Weekly.
We do not wonder that President Taft
showed emotion the other day when the
order of B'Nai BRth presented to him
the medal which it annually awards to the
man who, in the judgment of the order,
has contributed most to the welfare of
the Jewish cause"
Not however. that he could well have
done anything else. lie promptly con-
demned a snobbish attitude toward Jews
in one of the services. He stood out,
with Congress, against the discrimination
of another country against Jews in the
matter of honoring American passports.
lie has time and again in public speech
denounced narrowness and prescription as
directed against citizens of Jewish ex-
traction. In all this he did well. We
would not minimize his performance. But
it is hard to imagine an American Pres
idont taking any other attitude. With
an American private citizen it is different.
Any one of us can recall countless in
| stances of yielding to the very prejudice
President Taft has so steadfastly repudi-
ated. but as a people we are thoroughly
committed to the broader and juster view
of racial differences and unlikenesses; and
it is no mystical assumption, 1t is
fact experience demonstrates. that an
American President stands In such mat
ters for our common American principle
and ideal
1t is principle and an ideal which will
yet conquer the world. For it Is not
merely impregnable it is justified econom-
ically and practically The state that de-
mes to any race or to any class its actual
deserts is bound in the long run to be
weakened by its prejudice in the search
ing competition of modern life. In this
respect, as in all others. there is no truer
saying than that justice is the health OF
| The state.

Producers and Consumers

A combination of the city news
paper anS the parcel post is steadily
bringing the producer and consumer
together. A three-line ad and the par
eel post leads on to business from
which the middleman with his profits
is about eliminated. When eggs, but
ter, honey, dried and cured meats,
poultry and the like can be delivered
At the rate of IL pounds for. 35 cents
within the 50-mile zone, great possi-
bilities are offered'to the enterprising
farmer, and northern farmers living
within 80 miles of a city are taking
advantage of the new situation, espe-
cially those on rural free delivery
routes and not on railroad lines.
The three-line ad is now the key to
the situation. 1t tells the consumer
what the producer has to sell to be
delivered by parcel post. The con-
sumner is expected then to render the
making of bargain feasible. He is
expected to write to the producer.
Surely there are farmers in this
district who can use the new combina-
ton to advantage-the three-line ad
and the parcel post. The producer
can in that way get in touch with the
man who buys-Mith the man who has
to buy every weekday the year round.

Correspondents continue to say that the
ARABIAN Nights ball in Chicago out

dress was composed of a bird of paradise
with huge pearl ear muffs and pearl
shaped pendants, and about her neck were
three magnificent ropes of these most

This sprins-Like january

.'The goosebone prophet who forecastei
rough weather for January is utterly dis
credited said an old weatherwise man.
1--WE have had remarkably open vim
ter but now it is safe to say that it will
be comparatively mild throughout. OF
course, we are apt to have some very
rough weather a little later on, but there
will not be enough severe weather to give
us very cold average. Mardi Gras is
only two weeks from Tuesday, and have
an idea that the temperature then will be
spring like in Mobile and New Orleans"

southern Commercial Congress

"A great deal of interest should be

Archbishop HowIey. who lived in the
eighteenth century. most unjustly got
the reputation of airing like a troop
er. The explanation Is that the Duke
Of Cumberland. who fought the battle
Of Culloden and who was unspeakably
profane. once went in quest OF the prt-
mate to get his assistance IN defeating
a certain bill which he disliked. He
returned to the house Of lords. saying:
ITS all right. my lords. I've seen the
archbishop. and he says he'll see the
promoters to - before he'll vote for
the - BILL" As a matter Of fact. all
the profanity had been supplied quite
in the ordinary run OF conversation by
the duke.

and was seen In the very face or the
court walking about race course. The
king winked at the escapade. Such a
culprit was incorrigible.
But one Of the most absurd of his an
tics had to do with the Prince D.,
very dull courtier. against whom be

In that sense 1t might cause the pa

On this the consultation was written

Next he went to an advocate and
asked whether he could make a legal
complaint against a man who by any

OF course the suit ended in laughter
but he had had the satisfaction OF en-
