Detroit Is Sure to Hear
and Heed This Appeal for
the Suffering Jews

The effort being made by certain Jews
of Detroit to raise S250,OOO with which
to aid the Jewish var sufferers in Poland
and Russia is so worthy a one that it
must prove an irresistible pull on the
heart strings and purse strings of the
entire Jewish community.
Deprived of their natural heritage, the
land. by the intolerance of the early
Christians, these remarkable people, thru
persistent and tireless effort, learned the
science of finance and in a few short
centuries became the money lenders Of
the world.
The bond which held them together
thru 10 centuries has been a spiritual
bond and, therefore. there is no material
thing which has power to sever it.
This strong tie. based upon religious
belief, has operated steadily to make Of
The Jewish race one huge family, no
member Of which was allowed to suffer

That New York Messenger
Boy Who Found $4,000

What would the average boy do if he
found 10000?
Is William Diliwish an exceptional
boy?
Or is he just an average American lad
who believes honesty is the right sys-
tenn aid playing the game of life on the
squaEe gets you further than playing II
like an outlaw?
William is a messenger boy In New
York A great many people think a
New York messenger boy wouldn't be
their choice as a bearer Of great wealth
But Of course, that idea should be
buried along with the notion that Broad
way is paved with gold.
But about William: He was hustling
along yes, messengers do huste-with
his kilograms, when he stumbled over a
fat envelope That envelope contained
$4,000 in negotiable express money or
ders.
William marched right back 70 his Of
flee with that big envelope. TO the great
relief Of a much-worried express driver.
II is fitting that William has been
promised a better job.
William could have a bully time on
800 00-and wound UP in stripes.
Now we think William did just what
the average boy would do.
We believe the average boy is about
the finest thing there is.
What do YOU think about It?
We're strong for William-and the av-
erage American BOY

The Casuistries of Affection
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Somewhere | have. seen that phrase
which keeps coming into my mind, like
an insistent book agent, the casuistries
Of affection.
A casuistry, | suppose, is a sort Of
harmless, genteel, and excusabe lie, one
Of the many moral paradoxes in which
good people find themselves now and
then entanged. For in the practical
give-and-take dealings those who wish to
avoid causing pain must have their
moralities a bit flexible. Human hearts
cannot be handled like chunks Of steel nor
always managed by rigid mathematics.
There are, for instance, many grades
of lies, and not all of them wicked. The
story of Little Red Ridinghood is not lit
orally true. nor any novel or tale. Even
the parallels Of Jesus are not statements
Of fact.
A real poison lie seems to be one
which is told with the intent to deceive,
or which has the effect Of inducing its
hearer TO believe false thing to be true.
All gentlefolks are-let US not say
liars, but casuists.
The Colonel Newcome that Sir Herbert
Tree has recently so exceIlently portray
ed for theatergoers. an old school gentle
man, had the fine art of not seeing GER
tain facts; and isn't that what consti-
tutes gentleman, natural inability or
refusal to understand baseness?
The adoring wife may know well
enough that her husband is weak in
Efficient second rater. but she Loyalty de-
clines to admit 1t, and lies CALAMITY TO
herself. to him, and TO everybody. She
has made up her mind that he is ideal.
and this conviction she. supports with un-
failing casuistry
In fact, few=mafried couples could get
along If they dealt only in the rough
stuff cf truth
And Of course every lover is a casuist.
What also are the courtesies Of polite
society and all the arts of pleasing as
practised by people of good manners, but
casuistry?. How. indeed, could we get
along at all with certain people if we did
not glaze over their faults shut our eyes
to their obvious shortcomings, and re-
fuse TO notice their gaucheries?
Even certain reigionists who persist
in seeing good in everything and ignore
evil and pain, are they not ingenious
casuists in a good cause?
It's all in the way you choose your
words. Far be it from me to lie, cheat
or swinde yet if we did not fib little,
and wink. and prudently conceal would
not any given dinner party break up in
a row?
For what man is there who does not
like to have woman say he's handsome,
even though he knows he's not, and she
knows il. and he knows she knows it, and
she knows he knows she knows Il?
Still, if we must lie let US lie like gen
tlemen SO that they may say: "Se non
vero Q ben trovato"-@If It's not true
It's well conceived"

The Police Commissioner
Must Have the Aid of
the People of Detroit

Police Commissioner Couzens is en-
deavoring to do what many have con
tended is the impossible.
He is making an earnest effort to
stamp out Detroit 5 red light district
and reports already that his campaign
approaches success.
Other police commissioners have tried
to meet this issue with regulation, and
have failed.
Couzens' predecessor announced that
he would meet it as'Couzens is now de-
termined to meet it, he didn't.
He found it political. mpossibility

back a patrol wagon up TO the house,
load in the inmates and line them up be-
fore a police justice the next morning
The police justice may send them to
the house of correction or he may let
them go with warning to leave town,
and they may heed the warning and
leave town. but absolutely NO progress
has been made in the direction Of drv-
ing the scarlet traffic out.
The women engaged in this traffic
must not only be driven out of town, but
kept out of town, and there is only one
way to keep them out of town and that is
to make sure that there are no places for
them to come back TO.
Commissioner Couzens has struck at
the very heart of the traffic by asking De
troit citizens who have rented their prop
erty to women of the underworld. to make
sure of their tenants or to feel state law
which obligates them to make sure of
their tenants.
In the majority of cases, the commits
sioner has found ready and willing CO
operation and right there in that one
word is the key to the success of the
crusade.

1t is up to the PEOPLE OF THE CITY
whether they come back.
They can scatter and contaminate the
residential districts and the police COM
missioner is helpless.
But if there is cooperation, they will
not be able to scatter.
The matter of Kidding Detroit of its
underworld and the undesirable men and
women in it, is not up to the police com
missioner at all, but to the people of
Detroit

Ii ne gets it, he will succeed IN his cam
paign to clean up.
If he does not get it, he viii not sue
coed, nor will any other police commits
sioner or set of officials at any time in
the future.
The necessity for team work and less
disputation between the police depart
ment and the courts is apparent.
Commissioner Couzens has gone more
than half way to indicate his own appre-
citation that there must be a pulling to-
gether.
His visit to Judge Jeffries' Office was
made in the right spirit and while the
result of their conference has not been
announced, the hand-clasp with which
the Judge and commissioner parted may
be construed to mean that an under
standing was reached and an arrange
ment made between the two that will be
productive Of results.
When officials fall out rogues get
away.
