Helping Hand Gives Successful Play.

Helping Hand Gives Successful Play. |
The Helping Hand very successfully |
gave their play, Rebecca Triumphs, on
Wednesday evening. Mrs. G. b. Goodrich
as Mrs. Rokeman, a wealthy lady; Miss
Mildred Brooks as Mrs. Delaine, a wild
ow; Miss Jessie O'Conner, Rebecca, a
founding; Mrs E. F. Phillips, Clar-
issa, a spinster; were parts well taken
and showed much time and thought had
been put into the preparing of the play
while eight young women who formed
"our club, Miss Turner. Miss Mary
Poland, Miss Gertrude Alvord, Miss
Ward, Miss Adine Farnum, Miss Wini-
fred Bugbee, Miss Minnie Lucia and
Miss Kate Clark, were a very lmpor-
tant part of the play as a whole. Miss
Turner and Miss Poland gave the audi
hnce some very good music each in their
parts, singing solos and duets and each
accompanying the other. Miss Turner
is not new to a Putney audience where
| she is always welcomed with applause,
but Miss Mary Poland is a young girl
| Just in her teens who is showing much
promise with an unusual sporano voice.
| Miss Edith Bugbee, in the role of
Katie Conner, an Irish girl, with her
makeup and good broad Irish accent,
surely did well, while Gyp, eolored
girl, taken by Irene Bingham, was the
cause of much amusement to both old
and young. Probably the most diff
cult part in the play was taken by
Mrs A. b. H. Harris who as Meg, a
vagrant, acted well the part of crazy
woman. Before the play the Ladies
Aid society served a hash supper from

EDl TORlAL.

When our readers notice the new
title that is now attached to our
name, namely, that Of Editorial con-
tributor instead of Editor, they may
be curious to know the meaning and
the wherefore of the change. 1t
simply means that with the expan-
sion of the field in which the Ameri-
can Jewish World now circulates,
and with the contemplated enlarge
ment Of the paper, we felt that we
could no longer. assume the en-
tire responsibility for it, as we can
not give the time necessary for the
editorial supervision of all it's con-
tents. We must therefore limit our
responsibility to one part OF it only,
namely, the editorial columns. Our
interest in the paper, however, in it's
progress and its prosperity, remains
the same as before.

DR.. Stephen S. Wise has stirred
up some trouble for himself by his
attack on Judge Gary and the Steel
Corporation. Even members of a
Free Synagog, where the rabbi is the
real boss" and submits to no dicta-
ton from anybody, can express their
displeasure by resigning from mem
bership, or by refusing support to
the rabbits enterprises and activities.
This, of course, will not swerve DR..
Wise from his stand, unless he is
willing to abandon his old conten-
ton for an absolutely free and un-
muzzled pulpit. Whether his stand
in the great present day controversy
is sound and wise one is another
matter. We are not in sympathy,
however, with those who object to
his attack on Gary and his methods
because of the antagonism it may
stir up against the Jewish people of

A NEW CONTEMPORARY.

The arrival of new addition to
the Jewish journalistic family is gen
orally mentioned in a brief para
graph by the older members of the
household. This we cannot do with
reference to "The Scribe" the new
Jewish weekly of Portland, Ore,
edited and published by Rabbi Jonah
B. Wise. We give it this more
elaborate notice for the following
reasons: First, the name is one that
will call to the minds of some of Our
readers one of Our own earlier ven
lures, The Scribe of the Twin Cities,
thatwe published and edited a num-
Der of years ago, of course, it was
not long-lived We are glad. to see
that the name we chose at that time
has recommended itself to our
colleague of the Pacific Coast.

this country Should God forbid,
the day come when Jew-hatred be-
gins to spew it's venom in this coun-
try, it will not be because of this
Jews radicalism or that Jews con-
servatism. Jew-hatred invents its
own raison d'etre, no matter where
the Jew may stand. The Bolsheviki
hate the Jews of the bourgeoisie, and
Koltshak and his cohorts Of Cos
sacks hate the Jews of the other
camp. So what's the difference? In
the present industrial controversy,
however, the wise onlooker will
think more than twice before he gets
ready to stop the bricks from either
side.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

Secondly, Rabbi Jonah B. Wise
belongs to family Of Jewish jour-
nalists. His father, the sainted |. M.
Wise, was the founder and editor OF
The American Israelite of Cincinnati
and of the Deborah, Jewish week
ly in the German language that APP
peared for a number of years in the
same city. His brother, Leo Wise,
has for many years been identified
with these two publications as pub
Usher and managing editor, besides
being for number of years the pub
Usher Of the Jewish Annual, and the
founder and publisher of the Chi
cago Israelite Another brother,
best known by his pen name wick
erdown" was for many years an edi-
torial contributor of the American
Israelite, whose humorous COM
ments enjoyed great popularity.
Rabbi Jonah B. Wise may be said
to be to the manor born.
Thirdly, The Scribe is taking the
place of the Jewish Tribune that has
now followed it's publisher and edi'
tor, DR.. N. Mosessohn, to New York
City. But while the Jewish Trib,
une was strongly Zionistic and with
decided orthodox Jewish leanings.
The Scribe, of course, represents
Reform Judaism, and judging by it's
editorial tone, will be pronouncedly
anti-Zionistic That makes it inter
esting, to say the least. Portland
Jewry can no longer complain that
it has heard only one side of the
story. But since Our new contem-
porary stands for whole-hearted
Jewishness, sane and sturdy jewish
ness, and will combat all the disin-
tegrating forces in our midst, we
extend to it hearty welcome and
wish it long and happy life.

JEWS AND EPISCOPALIANS.

JEWS AND EPISCOPALIANS.
Detroit is wonderful city. 1t
has given our country Henry Ford
and his Tin Lizzie. It also has
great and rapidly growing Jewish
congregation that has beautiful
house of worship on it's main avenue.
Being a wonderful city it has
naturally out-distanced all it's rivals
in the race for the privilege of enter
tanning this years general conven-
ton Of our friends, the Episco-
palians. So the Episcopalian clans
from all over the land have fore
gathered there, and looking around
for suitable place for open forum
meetings, they hit upon the Jewish
temple. They offered money for its
rental, but the avaricious money
grabbing Jews extended their gener-
Gus hospitality and a hearty well
come to Detroit's guests in a truly
religious spirit of fraternity. They
would accept no money.
In the course of their deliberations
our Episcopalian friends took up the
matter that is now of vital interest
to the American public, the matter
of Americanization of our foreign
elements. But since plain Ameri-
canization is being planned and car
ried on by many secular agencies,
the church, of course, must show a
little originality in the matter. And
SO our Episcopalian friends have
sounded the note of Christian Amer
icanization. Nothing less will do.
But other churches may take up or
perhaps have already taken up, the
same note. Wherein will there be
any special distinction for our Epis-
copalian brothers? They will carry
Christian Americanization to the
Jews too, was the answer. And
million dollar fund is raised for that
purpose. And all this time they are
holding their sessions in the only
suitable place they could find in De-
troit, the Jewish temple.

ENTERTAINs AT BRIDGE.

A very pleasant party of the early spring was given by Mrs. E. B. Will mans Monday afternoon which was attended by several congenial friends of Mrs. Wilmans who drove out in cars for the afternoon and enjoyed the games as we'll as the delightful hospitality of the hostess, whose home had number of pretty spring flow CTS arranged very attractively in the rooms. Mrs. Carroll made the high est score at cards and was given a pretty gift, but Mrs. J. A.

NIiH Come tO NelDpOrt tO

That Jackson county continues to offer an attraction to outside capital as a possible oil center is growing more apparent every day, and it is said that those who have made an ex- animation of the government geologi- cal survey and report of the county are greatly encouraged to believe that if efforts are made to obtain oil in this section they will be rewarded.
 Charles L. Mariner, business mana ger of the Chamber of Commerce, is in receipt of a letter from J. Fred Kusterer, of the Trimble Oil & Gas Company of Webb City, Mo-, in which he states that he is coming to New port soon on two-fold mission. Be- ing a man of means MT. Kusterer is interested in various enterprises. He hopes to be able to secure the location here for a furniture factory. MT. Kusterer will also look into the oil possibilities here in the hope of start

GERMANY MAKES
 MANY REQUESTS
Accepts New Armistice Terms and Among Requests Is For Release
 Of German Prisoners

Paris Feb. Marshal Foch this afternoon informed the Supreme Council of the acceptance by the Ger mans of the conditions for renewal of the armistice.
 Two notes were handed to Marshal Foch by Matthias Erzberger when the renewal of the armistice was taken up at Treves. One concerned the ena- ployment of the German mercantile marine for various purposes, while the other contained several requests, in- cluding the release of German prison CTS and the maintenance of economic intercourse between Germany and oc- cupied German territories.
 Among the declarations of Matthias Erzberger at Treves, according to Berlin dispatch published in the Temps, was one to the American rep- resentatives on the Armistice Com mission that Germany went to the aid of the United States from 1862 t0 1865 during the great economic crisis, furnishing money, clothes, shoes and machinery. If the United Statess came to the aid of Germany todayg more than 50 years afterward, Erz berger said, she could give Germany food and raw materials against Y German loan, and at the kRme tiniS ness. s

ing development.
 The Independent is informed also that party from the Texas oil field intends to visit the county at an early date for the purpose of looking over conditions.
 This paper has not received addi- tional information concerning the steps to be taken by Dr. c. M. Capps of Knoxville, Tenn, who proposes to organize company to drill for oil on his land near the Black river bridge. It is reliably reported, however, that pr. Capps expects to begin drilling by May 1, and that he is arranging now to place drilling material on the ground.
 In 1900 anroil prospecting we'll was drilled one mile southwest of New port to depth of 1000 feet. At this depth rock of diffent kinds, ending in flint, was encountered and the well was abandoned.

LUCKILY THERE WERE
 NO CASUALTIES WHEN
 THIS CRASH OCCURRED

That there was none injured when a panic-stricken audience made a rush for the front door and fancied safety at the Madaline theatre Mon day night when somebody yelled fire, is not only most fortunate but almost miracle. In the operators room at the front of the theatre hole about the size of a five-cent piece burned in the film as the picture was being shown on the screen. Owing to the fact that the lens of the picture ma chine magnified the film, the small blaze on the screen gave all the ap- pearance of real coflagration, and at once there was mad rush for the open air. Before a dozen persons quit the building, however, the pie ture was again being shown, though it was some minutes before many ex- cited ones realized that nothing much had happened. For time there was great danger of small children being crushed and even older persons in jured.
 The motion picture machine used at the Madaline is equipped with an au- tomatic attachment which makes the burning of any considerable amount of film impossible, theatre goers thus being protected against danger from that source.

Newport has the opportunity or getting a specialist in this line to have cooking demonstration here' and it is believed the ladies will not miss this opportunity, as very few places the size of Newport are hon ored by having this school and should meet Friday and make this arrange ment.

WORK BE|NG-DONE
 BY ORGANIZATION
Among Many Other Propositions the Chamber of Commerce Is Inter-
 ested in Good Roads.

Probably the growth in popularity and usefulness of the Chamber of Commerce can best be emphasized by the fact that sixty-one new members have been added to the organization during the past thirty days. This membership represents practically every business organization in the city, as we'll as several farmers, and we believe this membership is the largest of any little city in the state.
 Besides working along many lines that will benefit the city and com munity, the Chamber of Commerce is vitally interested in the building of good roads in the county, and the di- rectors and officers of the organiza- tion are lending every cooperation and all assistance possible to the tangible development of the different improvement districts, and his aid has already stimulated great interest among the people and awakened them to the purposes and possibilities of better highways.
 P. H. Van Dyke has been appointed chairman of the good roads and bridge committee. He will form an organization of road boosters with members in each township, from which much is expected to materialize. He has in charge the matter of put ting through the improvement dis trict for the building of a bridge across White River. He reports splendid progress, but states that some opposition is being met in that portion of Independence county which is included in the proposed dis trict.
 c. c. Henry, for the information of the Chamber of Commerce and the people in general, is informed by C.. M. Cottrell, chairman of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau, that he will be able to spend two days, either during this month or next, in Jackson county for the purpose of exercising his efforts to secure the cooperation of merchants, bankers and farmers to- ward realizing the purposes for which the bureau is laboring.
 Sufficient funds have been raised practically to secure membership o1 the Chamber of Commerce and Job- bers of the city in the Arkansas Job bers' and Manufacturers Association, which institution takes the responsl- bility of looking after traffic proo- lens, securing adjustment of frelght rates. classifications, etc.
 c L. Mariner has received letter from a Chicago concern which seeks to come to Newport to establish a factory for the de6ydrating of fruits, vegetables and other products. The cost of the plant would be Sl0,O0O, and a space of 50 x 50 feet is re- ouired. A representative of the con cern is due to arrive in Newport now. Another factory proposition comes from the haywood Manufacturing Co. of Elgin, III. This concern would es- tablish factory here to make ce- ment mixers, gasoline savers, sllos' tanks, etc. John H. Class of Middle ton, Ohio, has just made inquiry as to inc advantages offered here for the location of vehicle factory.
