HOW THEY STAND. - Chicago
Hebrew Institute has demonstrated
through its president, Jacob Loeb
(whO is also a member of the Chicago
school board) just how it stands to-
ward labor. The reasons given by
Mr.. Loeb for closing the institute
doors in the face of the labor defense
are wholly irrelevant. The fact re-
mains that after the hall was rented
to the league for stated purpose adj
mission was denied them and A. 1.
Margolis, asst sUp't, fired instanter.
The views of the board of directors
should be asceTtained severally and
each put on record in this matter.
Such fragrant denial to people wish
ing to state and make public their
object is a wrong against all the peO-
pie, especially so because Mr.. Loeb is
a member of the school board. Mr..
Loeb is unfit to remain on the school
board any longer. If his action was

The greatest joy in the world is

few days ago who told me of the

based on history.
Before expressing such an opinion
as this woman has it would behoove
her to be well posted on the subject,
which would enable her to see. these
things in the light of a white person.
She frankly admits her ignorance of
the question, but dares to contribute
such revolving piece of writing as
she has.
To recall to the minds of some like
Miss G. H. few thing which they
have undoubtedly forgotten: When
Jock Johnson made the remark that
he could get any white woman in
Chicago for his woman much hubbub
was raised over it-and women held
indignation meetings that has
been forgotten by most nOrtherners,
and now comes a woman to publicly
intercede for them, and if she be
white her interest for them will be
believed to be her passion for niger
men.
