PREJUDICE AGAINST JEWS

argue with the ladies, but the letters
coming from Miss H. F. L. and few
others who desire to look up Nielsen
berg's past deserve an answer.
1 do not think that these people
would be so anxious to look up his
past if MeisenbeTg was not a Jew. l
do not think Miss H. F. L. would call
the honors paid the hero "slushy" and
exaggerating if the hero was one of
her own nationality.
1t seems a pity that we still have
a few among us who never will get
over their naTTow-mindednes and
prejudice, and who cannot seem to
grasp the spirit of the times.

the first time, she found a case too
strong for her. She was sentenced
to the penitentiaTy.
She had not been in the prison
twenty-four hours before she was
busy at the game again!
She was not allowed to take her
baby with her to the penitentiary,
but she could write about it and talk
about it and long" for it, and this
she did with all the ardor of her
artistic soul. There was a campaign
of sympathy which has seldom been
equalled, aroused in press and wo-
mems clubs.
The result was that Mrs. Johnson
was paToled.
But the monOtony, the respectable
ity of the life Jared upon her nerves.
And one day she disappeared.
About two weeks later woman
was picked up beside a station plat
form in Blaine, Wash, near the Can
adam border. She said she had been
injured on a train. She complained
of pains in her chest. She spat blood.
Her voice was husky. A few hours
later her right eye diiated. She gave
another name, but she was speedily
identified.
Today she peels "spuds" again in
Walla Walla, and counts the days
until her five years shall have expired.

E'Do-Do" Ball no More;
Bowlers Get Equal Chance
Special 10 The Telegraph

Atlantic City. n. j., April 20.-After
three years of unsuccessful efforts the
National Bowling Association yester-
day voted unanimously to abolish the
floaded OF ''do-do' ball. The settle
,ment OF this question ends long and
bitter struggle between factions and
places the sport generally on more
even plane for all.
IT was recommended by deleEa tes
that playing rule No. 10 be amended
so that in addition to limiting the
weight OF the ball to sixteen pounds
and the size to twenty inches,
the weight should be so distributed
that at no point on its surface shall
the weight effect exceed three ounces
of the point directly opposite. 1t was
explained that when manufacturers
had been given sufficient time to regu-
late possible inperfections In manu-
facture or overcome other mechanical
problems the excess could be reduced
TO two ounces or even less. This
amendment was unanimously adopted
The changes go into effect imme-
diately and once for all settle the
argument for and against the so-called
artificial hook, which has been claimed
gives the expert the advantage over
the less experienced bowler.

The general feeling among baseball
fans is that there will be some changes
this year, and that neither the Ath-

a runaway race. There have been
many expressions of disappointment
over the showing of the McGraw and

A COUNTRY EDITOR
SEES PANAMA CANAL
And Tells the Echo Readers of His Trip
And What He Sees and Hears

On the way to Panama all boats stop
at Kingston, Jamaica and as we are to
become better acquainted in these lat
itudes as the Panama development
opens new channels of trade to the
south it is we'll to get a glimpse of
this remarkable little island.
Jamaica is the richest and the poor
est spot in the West Indies. 1t is a
land Of opposites. 1t is the most
beautiful and the most ugly; land
where unlovely beggars rub elbows
with wealthy planters and high salaried
officials; where women do the work
and the men idle and where even ma
ture seems to run in contrary channels.
With the beautiful soft toned noun
tains piling tier upon tier, until the
highest peaks plunge their blue heads
into the clouds; with every variety oil
tropical verdure, fruit and flower; with
the weird music of many strange in
sects, and the velvet nights lit by
thousands OF firehies and the sparkling
diamond buttoned skies overhead; with
all these, and more, it would seem
like a sort OF fairyland where one could
Dream our life away
Where the dreamer lives forever,
And the worker dies in day.
But set against this scene of noun
tains is the squat unwholesome low
lands. The city of Kingston, for in
stance, is always under cloud which
looks like smoke, but which in reality
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-05-01

is white dust stirred up by the trade
winds. The white limedust from the
roadways is always in motion, always
whirled by on the never resting trade
winds, settling in your eyes, in your
food and down your neck. These
things never appear in the guide book,
nor do they dilate on the possibilities
OF hurricane and earthquake.
But these things come. There has
been times when out Of peaceful
scene like that described above nature
struck her cruelest blow. Without
warning comes a shock which in three
minutes destroys city and rocks the
very mountains to their foundation.
Thousands perish in the twinkling of
an eye and all the while, up above,
kind nature smiles on as though un-
aware Of the happening. Beware OF
the man who smiles when he strikes.
Beware Of nature when in like mood.
There is something uncanny in the
thought Of such happenings when the
sun shines on, and the Royal palms
draw a curtain over a scene of desola-
ton as though hiding an unloyely
blemish from the gaze Of shocked
world.
Again hurricanes have come to this
island beautiful, and torn the very YER
dure from the soil, destroying the
planting of a season, Of decade and
sometimes of lifetime.
But people, those who are left, seem
to recover and to forget. l learn that
it is the policy of the Tourist Associa-
ton to hide these things from the pub
lie and I noticed that while it is only
seven years since Kingston was de-
stroyed, there is scarcely picture
card left to remind visitors Of the calam-
ity. This may be good policy but
