THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
IDYLS OF OUR Glass;.
By Jeanette Frisch.
MODERN CAPTAINS OF

INDUSTRY.

Do you remember those glorious
vacation days when you were nine,
when the mercury was rising and the
air seemed to be fried on both sides,
do you remember that an inspiration
came to you to set up a lemonade
stand for the benefit of suffering hui
manity? Rose Epstein's ambition
was stirred. She had noted with envy
the prosperous business venture of
her little cousin Able on Sixth
Avenue North, and she was moved to
do likewise. She was sure she could
make as good lemonade as Able. She
knew where she could get for nothing
a lemon that was almost good on one
side. Maybe her mother would let
her have little sugar. and the
green pitcher. All she really needed
to establish herself in business was a
box like Abie's. Perhaps if she
brought the cracked eggs from the
market for Mrs. Cohen, the latter
would let her have that soap box
which was just the thing.
The first step was to get her
mothers consent. That was easy.
MAMA, mama, Able is making
'stucker geld in selling lemonade!

FIGHTING BACK.

Rabbi Leo M. Franklin and Mr.
Fred NJ. Butzel of Detroit, recently
gave an exhibition of Jewish self-re-
spect that is worthy of notice. The
occasion was the recent appearance of
President Wilson in Detroit, when he
addressed the salesmen's convention.
A dinner was rendered the President
at the Detroit Athletic Club and prom
inent business and professional lead
ers of the community were invited,
among them Rabbi Franklin and Mr..
Butzel. Both, be it said to their last
ing credit, did not hesitate for a
moment. They would not think Of
attending an affair at the Detroit
Athletic Club which refuses to admit
Jews to membership even if it was
given in honor of the President of the

United States. Others in similar
situation might have compromised
with their consciences and their sense
of loyalty to their people. They might
have been present because of an I'm
comfortable desire to hear the Presi-
dent at any cost or to avoid being
singled out as having failed to show
the proper respect for the Chief Mag
istrate of the Nation Still others
might have thought only of the dis
tinction conferred upon them and en-
joyed it more perhaps because they
had been singled out for favor. None
of these considerations carried weight
with either Rabbi Franklin or Mr..
Butzel Their fine spirit of solidarity
and uncompromising opposition to an
organization that treats Jews unfair
ly should be displayed wherever the
same conditions obtain. The rule of
every self-respecting Jew should be
to have no dealings with those who
treat the Jew as an inferior or as an
undesirable, thereby giving them a
dose of their own medicine. An or
ganized effort, too, should be made to
acquaint public officials beforehand
with such conditions as obtain at the
Detroit Athletic Club and practically
in every so-called leading social or
ganization in the average American
city which takes it upon itself to do
the entertaining when a distinguished
guest comes to town.-The Sentinel.

risk his life in behalf of his father
land. He did succeed the following
year in obtaining professorship at
the University Of Brussels, of which
institution he became dean. But his
stay there was of but short duration
as anti-German feeling, three years
after his appointment compelled him
to resign and to resume his residence
in Berlin. This peculiar and pathetic
experience failure to obtain
position, for which he was eminently
fitted and qualified, because of his
Jewish faith, on the one hand, and the
loss of a position, which he had al
ready occupied, because of his Ger
man loyalty, on the other should
have demonstrated to the historian the
futility of attempting to solve the
Jewish problem through greater as
similation. But Philippson was ap-
parently not willing to follow such
mode of reasoning to its logical ex-
IRENE, for he always remained an ex
ponent of assimilationist tendencies
Yet, the one thing that his unto
ward experiences did accomplish for
him is that it made him devote a
large part of his time and labor to
the promotion of the Jewish interests
in Germany. And, though his views
were not always of nature to earn
the endorsement and approval of those
who spurn any effort of temporary
relief and desire to adopt onl y such
measures as will result in the perma
nent preservation of our people and
the everlasting perpetuation of our
faith, his life and his labors were of
incalculable benefit and his death is a
severe loss to both Israel and the ma
tions.-M. S.

"But, mama, just think He made

Just little sugar, please mama. I'll

"Ge, don't bother me- Take lit

Rosie ran down the rickety steps
in high glee, and presented herself
before the double-chinned Mrs. Co.
hen
"Mrs. Cohen, you need some eggs

you
"Oi gut, Rosele, what sweet

Alright, then, run quick. I need

Rosie got the eggs and also found
some lemons that she thought would
serve the purpose. Elated, she re-
turned to the formidable Mrs. Cohen
and dragged the box out of pile of
rubbish
Rosie planned every move strategi
caly. Early in the morning, while
Able was still peacefully slurnbering,
unaware of the doom that awaited
him, she and Becky, her bosom
friend, set up the stand about six feet
from Abie's.
"Abie1l kill you,' prophesied the
red-headed Rebecca.

An hour later Able appeared jaunt-
lily swinging his pitcher. He passed
by Rosie's stand, kicked it viciously,
and proceeded to concoct the drink
fit for the gods. He looked super
ciliously over at his demure COMPETE
tor, shifted the air scornfully, and
shouted,
"Say, watchu doing here? Think
you can sell that stuff? It smells
bad," and Able spat to emphasize his
statement
Rosie, alarmed, looked at Becky.
To her the lemonade had tasted
heavenly. But she must do some
thing to get ahead of her rival.
Becky, I'll tell you what. I'll sell
it two glasses for cent"

DISTRICT ATTORNEY-The first of
the year a number Of Republicans,
including many who approved of
my efforts in the interest of the
taxpayers as State Representative
four years ago, requested me to be-
come a candidate for the office of
District Attorney, inasmuch as
there would be, in addition to the
regular duties of the criminal and
juvenile courts, new duties and
conditions confronting the office.
Among these were mentioned the
enforcement of the Prohibition
Act, and the likelihood of having
to foreclose many tax liens, partic-
Il arly those against the Southern
Pacific land grant of nearly half
million acres in Jackson county,
amounting to about 100000.
My reply was that | would be-
come a candidate if it were gener-
ally desired and the race could be
made without assuming special OBJ
legation to any particular individ-
ual, faction, locality or interest.
Therefore, after consulting per-
sonally or by letter with several
hundred men and women of all oc-
equations in all parts of the coun-
ty, believing there is real desire
for my candidacy, will be a can
didate for the nomination of Dis
trict Attorney on the Republican
ticket. JOHN H. CARKIN.

Keep Your Money in Ashland-A
Consumers View.

Keep Your Money in Ashland-A
Consumers View.
To the Editor: No reasonable man
will gainsay the forceful arguments
expressed by you in the Keep Your
Money in Ashland" article which ap-
peared in the March 9th issue of
the Tidings.. 1t is quite true that any
citizen who, without sufficient reas-
on, fails to support and encourage the
home commercial enterprises on
which the progress and welfare of our
city depend so largely, is rankly dis
loyal to the best interests of our city
and is a drag retarding its progress.
But, | say, even more disloya to
Ashland are those merchants who, by
charging exorbitant prices and by
palming off, as standard" goods
that are of inferior grades, drive
money out of Ashland by forcing con-
sumers in sheer self-defense to buy
in outside markets which have the
reputation of giving purchasers a
square deal
Why do people patronize a distant
mail-order house, anyway? Certain
ly not for the pleasure of buying
Sights unseen" or of writing letters,
or of filling out application blanks
for money orders, or of waiting weary
days for the arrival of goods of which
they are in present need. I, for one,
and I know that there are very many
others, would be glad to do all my
buying right here in Ashland, "eyen
though" as you say, "the price OF the
local merchant be slightly higher"
and I would be glad to let the local
merchant order for me goods which
he might not have in stock, if felt
assured that he would be satisfied

Peoples Forum
A Rancher's View.

Editor Tidings: There is one i'm
portant feature of this trade-at-home
campaign that | trust you won't over
look or neglect to put forcibly before
the people of Ashland.
Why do the merchants of Ashland
pay so much attention to the other
fellow buying at home, and then re-
fuse to buy anything from the local
producers that can possibly be gotten
from Portland or elsewhere? Or If
they do buy from local people, it's
either paid for in trade and lower
price given than the market price.
That is one of the best reasons why
campaign of this sort is necessary.
] know personally of one prominent
Ashland firm who buys nearly thou
sand dollars worth of wood yearly,
and after inquiring of several local
wood merchants and trying to buy
for less than the wood could possibly
be sold for and make any profit at
all, they sent away for their wood.
All of this money would have been
spent "at home" and the stores Of
Ashland would have profited. Now it
is sent away from home. Perhaps
they saved a dollar or more, but who
really profits?
There are many such cases, not
only in wood, but all sorts of prod
ucts. / am rancher's wife and |
buy a great many things from eastern
mail order houses, just because l
believe in reciprocity, | have in the
house now catalogues from all sorts
of houses. | can buy everything |

years. 1t is unanimously conceded
that a marked improvement has
been made in all departments of
the Sheriff's office during the in
cumbency of the present Sheriff.
The records in the office at the be-
ginning of the present administra-
tlon were considered the worst in
the state. They are now consid-
cred equal to any and better than
most.
The work of tax collection has
been systematized so that quicker
and better service is now being
rendered, and taxes collected at a
much less cost than heretofore.

duties and needs of the office for
which | aspire.

1st-To maintain the office in

improve the service to taxpayers
and to minimize the cost thereof.

at the market price elsewhere. If
they do, after much persuasion, buy
anything, it is either paid for in trade
or at a lower price than they would
have to pay anywhere else. Now why
should they expect the rancher to go
to Ashland and buy from them?
Their prices are as high or higher
their goods of no better quality, their
selections no larger, and there. is the
trip to town, time taken, discom-
fort of a long day in town, no COM
Portable, convenient place for the
wife and children to go and rest and
eat their lunch. Lithia Park is not
particularly comfortable for about
half the year, lovely as it is now.

of the merchants to these things dur
ing this educational campaign. There
are usually two sides to every ques-
tion, you know, and | believe you
will be able to see them beth. l have
been greatly interested in your eff
forts for Ashland's uplift, and follow
it each week in the Tidings?
Yours truly,

Paint Up

with fair profit on the transaction.
But when a purchaser has been
"stung" few times by local prices
ranging from so per cent to 900 per
cent greater than those asked else
where, he learns his lesson, says moth
ing, and sends to the mail-order
house for his next purchases. The
time is past when merchants could
keep consumers ignorant of what
fair price ought to be. And, needless
to say, on these next purchases the
local merchant makes no profit at all,
Altruists and benevolent wealthy
gentlemen may be willing to pay the
eXorbtant so per cent or 800 per cent
for the sake of loyalty to Ashland,
but the laboring man who thereby
can save a days wages on a compara-
lively small purchase will, for the
sake of his family, go to the mail
order house every time.
1t is true that Ashland is crippled
by the loss of the thousands Of dollars
that go out each month to distant
mail-order houses. But don't blame
us consumers for it. Blame the mer-
chants who make it impracticable for
us to trade with them.
Let the local merchants offer us
the right inducements and we will
give them our business-all of it,,
and thus they will make it possible
for us to keep our money in Ashland.
While am on this subject it might
not be amiss to suggest that the local
merchants could set us a pretty eX-
ample of consistency by being as loyal
to the wholesale dealers of their own
state, Oregon, as they would have us
consumers be to the retail; dealers Of
our own city, Ashland.
