idea of our Sabbath. We are try
ing to hold on to whatever we can.
If we cannot observe the entire day
as a day of rest and religious devo-
ton, as we should, we can at least
give some conservation to a part of
It. Friday evening, therefore, has
been set aside, even by Reform
Jews, as the appropriate time for
Sabbath worship, and Sabbath fes-
tivity at the home It is done on
the principle that half loaf is bet
ter than no loaf at all. The old
Jewish law was interpreted in that
spirit. Under the stress of necessity,
we are told, it is permitted to make
an ordinary work-day of the Sab
bath. Our justification for working
on the Sabbath is in the compulsion
of the conditions of our modern
social and economic life.
But where is the force or exigency
that compels our young people to
have their dance-parties on Friday
evening? The week has six other
evenings for such purposes. 1t is
simply thought1ess and careless
disregard Of Jewish sentiment and
Jewish propriety. We believe the
young people do not wish to give
offense, and we hope that now that
their attention has been called to it
they will discontinue this censura-
bic practice.

LACK OF SENSITIVENESS.

We have succeeded in having The
Merchant of Venice eliminated from
our public school curriculum. Our
repeated complaints against the
study and presentation of Shylock
as the type of Jew should have
convinced our pedagogs that we
Jews have finally decided to resent
being caricatured and maligned on
the stage or in the classroom that
we consider it gross and stupid
injustice to our children to be COM
PEELED to hear and witness their own
people so tradueed or travestied,
and to have such prejudices against
them instilled into the minds of
their young school-fellows. Our
pedagogs, however, do not so
quickly learn or unlearn, it would
seem. With the Merchant of Ven
ice tabooed, they can still find some
vulgar caricatures of the Jew, vile
and disgusting skits, that have not
a single redeeming feature to recon-
mend them, and which they can let
high-school boys produce on the
school stage, for the elevation, we
suppose, and the amusement of fac
ulty and students. One such libelous
lampoon on the Jew was staged in
two of our high-schools in recent
weeks, according to the report that
has come to US. The character of the
sketch is a Jewish old-clothes man
who also has the additional merit of
having thieving proclivities. That

FRIDAY EVENING DANCES.

N4OA4 LV 6IN4NG DANNEO.
Our attention has been called to
a grave offense committed by some
Jewish young peoples organizations
in Minneapolis, an ofense to Jewish
sentiment, an afront to the religious
element of the community. It seems
that these organizations, or clubs,
often select Friday evening as an
appropriate time for dancing parties
and similar social functions. Many
of these young people probably are
children of strictly orthodox par
ents, or at least of parents who still
have good deal of the old-time
Jewish feeling and Jewish loyalty in
them. How they can be so thought
less as to offend the sensibilities of
their own kindred, and of the older
element of the community, is beyond
our understanding:
It is evident that these young peo-
pie have gotten away from the idea
of a Jewish Sabbath altogether.
Saturday is day of strenuous work
for most, if not all, of them That
is the regrettable situation in which
we find ourselves. Yet they know,
or should know, that we Jews have
not yet completely surrendered the

This simple notice ought to be enough

is the brilliant idea of the playlet.
OF course, the Jew has to appear
on the stage, in the proper makeup,
probably in a Jewish gaberdine, la
Shylock, and must talk and gesticu-
late, and shrug his shoulders like
Jew. Otherwise the play would lose
it's comic effect.
What intellectual poverty is thus
displayed by our high school in
structors and coaches, if in the
whole range of our literature they
can find nothing better than such
wretchedly vile stuff in which to ex-
ercise the histrionic faculty of their
pupils, and if one high school must
copy it from another. What a fine
sense of justice and fair play, not to
speak of kindness and charity these
same instructors manifest when thew
allow and encourage one set of pu-
pills thus to insult and humiliate an
other set, their Jewish sehoolmates.
For be it remembered that in one of
the offending schools there are about
ESQ Jewish pupils, and they among
the brightest, most active and ener-
getic of the whole school.
But it is not the instructors and
the authorities of those schools that
we wish to rebuke, but rather the
Jewish pupils. They ought to show
both more sensitiveness and greater
courage in resenting and preventing
such occurrences. They surely
knew when such a production was
in preparation. BY watching the re-
hearsals they could see of what
character it was. How is it that
they did not vigorously protest
against and stop it? Why did they
not at least report the matter to
some influential Jewish citizen who
could easily. have prevented such
defamation of the Jew in our
schools? Are they so callous. and
so Indifferent to their own humilia-
ton? Can they, too, look upon
vile caricature of their own people,
and consider it joke, just as many
gentiles do? We hope our high
school boys and girls will hence
forth learn the lesson that it is ev-
cry Jews duty to fight the PERM
cious habit of making the Jew the
butt of vulgar ridicule and mockery.

because of German aggressive
ness is gradually approaching a
dangerous crises, inasmuch as
the Danes now have come to the
conclusion that the German
government must have ordered
it's submarine commanders to
kill the crew of each Danish ship
which is torpedoed. The cables
have brought no news of special
interest from Copenhagen during
the last few -days.-Interest in
Sweden has concentrated on the
Socialist convention in Stock
holm, which, according to the
belief of the Allies, has been in
stigated at the behest of Ger
many for the purpose of coerc-
ing Russia to make a separate
peace with the central powers.
At this writing, no definite news
have been published regarding
the outcome of the international
gathering.-It seems that Ger
many is relenting slightly for
the purpose of keeping what
ever is left of Norwegian friend

has granted certain concessions
to Norwegian shipowners, which
will make commerce across the
North Sea a little less hazardous
than it has been hitherto.

ALL HOME PRINT

r This week we turn a new leaf
and 60 to all home print. In
place of having the insides-
pages 2, 3, 6, and 7-printed by
the Western Newspaper Union
at Minneapolis, as nearly all
country weeklies do, we are now
beginning with this weeks issue
to print the entire paper at
home. This has been our aim
ever since beginning the publ
cation of the American as we do
detest those stale patent insides,
or ready prints as they are COM
monty called. We have now got
ten to the point where we can
gather up enough news and ad-
vertising from about this part of
the county to fill the entire
eight pages and happy we are.
Furthermore, every inch of ad-
vertising and reading matter
which appears in our publication
hereafter is controlled by our
selves, and this is perhaps the
most important feature about
the all home print. If any ad-
vertising should ever appear in
our columns which has a tinge
of untruthfulness or is shady
we want our readers to call our
attention to it as it is our aim
to publish a good clean sheet, of
which this community might
feel proud. We want to strive
onward.

PATRIOTIC DAY A
GRAND SUCCESS
Large Crowd Gathered ut AskOv
Tuesday. Good Speaking
and Fine Weather.

The Danish-American patriotic
day in Askov Tuesday, was great.
With two such eloquent speakers
as z. H. Austin of Minneapolis,
and j. Adam Bede of Pine City,
it was bound to be good. The
weather man was also very gen.
erous and slipped in a good day
for us.
The program as published else
where, opened up with music by
the Askov Band Of about IS
pieces, from the new band stand.
After being introduced by
Banker Pedersen, Mr.. Austin
gave what we would class as an
eloquent speech on government,
using a choice English, which
was a great pleasure to listen to.
He paid a high tribute to King
Frederick VII of Denmark, as be-
ing the only ruler of kingdom
who has at any time during his
tory voluntarily taken power
from his own hands and turned
it over to the people. Mr.. Aus
tin also stated that he hoped to
see the day come when Ameri-
cans would join with Danes in
celebrating their independence
day as the Danes do with the
Americans on the 4th Of July.
and 90, on with all nationalities.
There is some similarity between
the American independence day
and the Danish independence day
and also some distinct differ
ences, one of which is that our
American forefathers had to bat-
tie for their as we'll as our liber-
ty, but the Danes were given
liberty by one Of their owr1,.
King Frederick VII.
Mr.. Bede then enlivened the
gathering with some of his hu-
NOR for which he is famous thru
out the land. The pursuit Of
happiness" was one Of his strong
ones. but on telling a yarn on a
fellow who was arrested for spit
ting in New York while practis-
ing the pronunciation of for
eign words, we believe the joke
is on our friend Bede, because
some of the nearby listeners re-
port a heavy dew on their clothes
after Mr.. Bede stepped from the
speakers stand.
Time will not permit us to re-
port these two speeches as they
should be, but suffice to say that
Askov was honored by having
two such eloquent speakers as
Mr.. Austin and Mr.. Bede on the
fifth. We hope that they will
visit us again.
E. A. E. Laage gave a few re-
marks about the band boys and
the new band stand which has
been built by popular subscrip-
tion and was used for the first
time that day. Mr.. Laage said
that if you ever have the blues
just go over to the hall and listen
to the band some night when
they have rehearsal and your
blues will disappear.
The mixed quartette was also
on hand an entertained. "A
Danish War Song and King
Kristian," both translated, were
sung by the whole assemblage.
In the evening a good social
dance was enjoyed at the as
sembly hall. with. music by the
band boys.

KING CHRISTIAN

King Christian stood by lofty mast
In mist and smoke;
His sword was hammering fast,
Through Gothic helm and brain it passed;
Then sank each hostile hulk and mast
In mist and smoke.
Fly shouted they fly he who can!
Who braves of Denmark's Christian
The stroke?'
Nies Juel gave heed to the tempests roar,
Now is the hour
He hoisted his blood-red flag once more,
And SmOte upon the foe full sore,
And shouted loud, through the tempests roar
Nov is the hour!"
"Fly!' shouted they, for shelter fly!
Of Denmarks Juel who can defy
The power?"
North Sea! a glimpse of Vessel rent
Thy murky sky
Then champions to thine arms were sent;
Terror and Death glared where he went
From the was heard wall, that rent
Thy murky sky!
From Denmark thunders Tordenskiol,
Let each to Heaven commend his SOUL
And fly!
Path of the Dane to fame and might!
Dark-rolling wave
Receive thy friend, who, scorning flight,
Goes to meet danger with despite,
Proudly as thou the tempest's might,
Dark-rolling wave
And amid pleasures and alarms,
And and victory, be thine arms
My grave!
