RAISA LOVES MEX1CANS IN
SPITE OF REVOLUTIONS.

Revolutions evidently mold no terror
for Rosa Raisa, the wonderful prima
donna with the Chicago Opera Associ-
alton, which is due to arrive in this
city early next week The experiences
that Miss Raisa has put in during her
stay in Mexico City does not compare
with the days of terror spent during
childhood days in Russia. In Mexico
the people are at least given an oppor-
tunity to defend themselves, and there
is an attempt on the part of the gov
eminent to protect life and property.
Of course she admits there were ex-
citing times in Mexico, but they prov
ed most interesting and adventurous
in spite of the danger involved.
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1919-09-12

But Miss Raisa is a prime favorite
with all Mexicans. The revolutionists
as well as the government in control
would not harm their favorite soprano.
She went about the streets with per-
feet safety. She played the cowboy
stunt, that of carrying big revolver
and a knife. She circulated no wild
stories upon her return to the states,
and although she admits that she has
seen more peaceful governments, at
the same time she has seen more
stormy ones.
Miss Raisa is a defender of the
Mexican people. Give them proper
chance; treat them as human beings
and in due time they will prove them
selves worthy Of trust and sincerity.
The prima donna has never failed to
play fair with all classes. The ragged
little children interested her immense
ly and the humble shop keeper always
found her willing and generous pur-
chaser. She found it most interesting
to talk with them about their govern
ment, wives and children. She also
invited many Of these humble folks
to the open performances. They all
came and heard their good sister Of
mercy, as some were wont to call her.

HUNGARY-A HISTORIC SURVEY
By Gotthard Deutsch.

The Talmud is a storehouse Of phil
osophy of history. Most Jews have
heard the beautiful anecdote Of R.
Akiba and Pappus. The rabbi was
studying the Torah, and Pappus Won
dered why he should risk his life since
the study Of the Torah was prohibited
by Roman law under penalty of death.
The rabbi replied with the following
parable: The fox walked by the shore
of lake and saw the fishes restless.
He asked for cause Of their excite
ment. They answered that they had
to be in constant fear of the man who
with angles and nets was plotting
against their lives. Well, said the fox,
come to the shore, and l shall protect
you. The fishes replied: Art thou in
deed the wisest of animals? Why
should we prefer certain death to the
chance of life which we have here in
our element?
This is the secret of the crowdng of
Jews into countries with uncertain po-
litical conditions, like Poland, Turkey
and Hungary. There were plenty of
traps, seins and hooks, but you could
take a chance, while in Italy, Austria
and Germany there was little chance,
and in France, England, Spain, ETC.,
none at all. In country with loose
form of government, part of it con-
stantly disputed between the Sultan
and the Kaiser, where mobiles natural
ly had a great power, being almost
sovereign on their estates, where the
power and the will to enforce laws
we usually for sale, Jew could al
ways find a corner where he could
crouch. So we have in Hungary,
roughly speaking one million Jews
in "a population Of 20 millions, nearly
five per cent. A great part Of this
population is of recent immigration.
Up to lS4S the neighboring Austrian
provinces, Bohemia and Moravia,
furnished immigrants who wished to
escape from the pressure Of conditions
at home, especially from the restric-
tions on marriage, and in northern
Hungary the adjoining province Of
Galicia with its crowded Jewish pop
ulation furnished another set of i'm
migrants.
Another reason for the laxity Of
the Central authorities was the mix
ture Of nationalities. The Magyars,
the ruling element, form only one
half Of the population. 1t is reason
ably certain that the census figures
were somewhat manipulated, and with
that they claim for the Magyars only
81 per cent. The Roumanians come
next with Is, the Germans and the
Slovaks with about ten each, the Ju-
go-Slavs, as the Croatians and Serbs
are now called, with little less, and
the Ruthenians with about five per
cent. Most Of these nationalities live
in compact territories where the Mag.
vars are only found among govern
ment officials. Equally mixed are the
religious figures, though the decided
majority is Roman Catholics, the Ju-
go-Slavs, however, are Greek Catho-
lies, as are the Ruthenians. Then both

NEW LEGISLATION PROVIDES
FOR HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE,

Under section 7 of House Bill No
1863, Session Laws Of North Dakota for
1917, it is made the duty of the state
highway commission to prescribe
standards for and supervise the work
of maintaining the state highways
which are improved under federal or
state aid. The cost Of this work is
to be equally divided between the
county and the state. The money for
this purpose is derived entirely from
motor vehicle license fees.
In addition to the state law, there
is provision in the Federal Aid Road
Act making it compulsory that all
roads, constructed with federal aid
money be adequately maintained be-
fore additional aid can be secured for
.'oad construction in the state. -, ..
Maintenance Underway
At the close of the season last fall,
there were 1913 miles Of state high
way; Under construction and contract,
LEO miles of which are approximately
completed. Maintenance of l02 miles
was started late in the season last
year on the projects which were en-
cirely completed. The contractor is
'equired to keep the road maintained
until he has completed his entire con-
tract.
! There are at present, 2l men en-
ployed on the 102 miles under main
tenance, or approximately one man to
every,five miles. st,s r. s@ee....};.
a system of highway maintenance,
commonly termed the patrol system,
is being tried out on our state high
ways and the results so far secured
will warrant it's continuance. The
merit of such system of maintenance
is based on placing the responsibility
sor the upkeep of a certain section OF
road in the hands of one man, called
the patrolman.
This patrol system of maintenance
as used in North Dakota will be under
the supervision of the chief engineer
of the highway commission who is di-
rectly represented by the state MAIN
tenance engineer. The state will be
divided into divisions, each division
consisting Of several counties. The
number of Counties in each division
will depend upon the amount of con-
struction and maintenance work. A
division maintenance engineer will be
in charge Of the maintenance work of
each division.
y Length of Sections
The length of the section which
will be given to the patrolman will
range from 4 to 20 miles, depending
on the condition of the road, amount
of traffic and topographic and weather
conditions. Care will: be taken in

dividing the roads into sections so as
to have the surfaced roads separate
from the ordinary earth roads. The
patrolman will have charge of his sec.
ton and will be given the responsible
ity for it's upkeep.
Qualifications of Patrolman
A man who is capable of being a
pat-olman must be person who can
exercise good judgment and common
sense. ''
Supervision
All work Of the patrolman is under
the direct supervision of the state
highway commission, and it is eX-
pected that the patrolman will work in
harmony with this organization.
An inspector will be over the high
way at intervals and will offer sug-
gestions to the patrolman, when it is
considered advisable, regarding the
best way in which to handle the work.
The patrolman is to have general
charge, of the arrangement of the
work. He should plan to drag his
road at the right time. cut the weeds
and brush, repair culverts and bridges
and do any other. work necessary to
keep his section properly, maintained.
He should plan to haul material
along the road which will be used for
future repairs. This applies more es-
pecially to gravel roads and a special
order will be given for this work. rs

Mayor Hanson Advises
Liberal Labor Policy
Manufacturers Urged to Apply
Golden Rule in Dealings
With Workers

Ole Hanson, Mayor of Seattle, speak
ing last night at a banquet of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
declared the American people never
were in greater need of being reminded
that their welfare depends on follow
ing the golden rule.
Mr.. Hanson proposed that Congress-
clearly detinie rules under which busi-
ness can be done to foster activity and
minimize unemployment; that public
works be stimulated until private in
dustry can employ all workers avail
able; that states should take action to
prevent speculation in land; that there
should be more careful sitting of i'm
migration and deportation of alien agi-
tators.
"You, the great employers of labor in
this country" he continued, "have a
great duty to perform and great privi-
leges to enjoy. Labor is entitled to
much more than it received prior to
the war. In many parts of this coun
try labor did not receive sufficient to

Board Insists Upon
Censoring Lecturers

Behind the dismissal last week by
superintendent Ettinger of Professor
W. J. Durant, for four years lecture,
for the Board of Education, lies this
question::
Does the Board of Education, which
admittedly has power to censor lect-
ures given under its auspices, also
have the right to censor public ad-
dresses of It's lecturers when they are
speaking Independently in other for
ums?
Professor Durant, until recently at
tached to the extension department of
Columbia, says. No. Wendell M
Thomas, supervisor of lectures, says
Yes. The Superintendent of Schools
agrees with the supervisor. DR.. Et-
fingers views, as expressed by his sec
retary yesterday, are:
1.-The Superintendent takes the posi-
ton that the dismissal is only the ex-
crcise Of reasonable discretion
Professor Durant, who lives at 854
East l75th Street, yesterday gave this
explanation of his dismissal:
"About month ago the Superinten-
dent Of Lectures, Mr.. Thomas, was
worried about lectures was delivering
at the Labor Temple. He said that un-
less | was willing to take a moro con-
servative attitude nt the Labor Temple
could not continue as lecturer for

Caruso's Brother-in-Law
Arrested at Delmonico's
Cashiers Refusal to Accept the
Check Offered for Dinner
Cause of Disturbance

Park Benjamin, jr., brother law of
Enrico Caruso, was arrested charged
with disorderly conduct last night on
complaint of Alfred E. Book, cashier
of Delmonico's Restaurant at 531 Fifth
Avenue. The arrest followed an argu-
ment which grew out of the cashiers
refusal to accept Benjamin's check in
payment for dinner. Benjamin was
fined s5 by Magistrate Ten Eyck in
Mems Night Court
With Aim was arraigned Carroll
Winslow, broker, living at Seventy
seventh Street and Park Avenue, who
was Benjamin's dinner companion. He
followed Benjamin to the East Fifty
first Street police station and, accord
ing to Patrolman Harry Heron, who
made the arrest, became abusive to the
lieutenant in charge. He was found
guilty, but sentence was suspended.
When the two men had finished din
ing, Benjamin wrote check for the
amount of the bill. The cashier re-
fused to honor it on the ground that
Benjamin had no account with Del
monico's. Winslow offered to pay, but
according to Book, Benjamin became
abusive in the presence of women who
were in the restaurant to aid the Sal
vation Army campaign for funds.
Rene Fisher, manager of the restau-
rant, asked Benjamin to apologize and
said he would not press the charge.
Book, however, insisted on having him
arrested

Beck Opposes Wilson Idea

ATLANTIC CITY, May 21-James
NJ. Beck took exception to-day, in an
address before the Maryland Bankers
Association, to the passages in Presi-
dent Wilson's message concerning the
new attitude employers should adopt
toward their workmen.
"The manual toiler very properly
claiWs an exclusive right over his
hands and BRAIN said Mr.. Beck, "work-
ing for whom he pleases and at what
price. But to confer upon him right
to control also his employers business
is to suggest hope that cannot be-
realized without the employers divest-
ing himself of control over his own

wife, arc generally not improved by
interference by the state"

Publishers Demand New
Newspaper Postal Rates
Urge Congressional Investiga-
ton of Second Class Mail
Distribution

Resolutions urging the repeal of the
act fixing postage rates on news
papers and other periodicals, and
resolutions asking for Congressional
investigation of the transportation and
distribution of second class mail mat
ter were adopted by the Publishers
Association of New York City yester-
day at meeting in Pulitzer Build
ing.
The publishers contend the new
rates Of postage for newspapers were
not considered carefully, because they
were advanced as war measure, and
that they have hampered and embar-
rassed publications in the dssemna-
tion of news. Another count against
the act is that the American forces
abroad are placed in the eighth postal
zone, when newspapers should be sent
to the soldiers at minimum cost.
Congress is asked to investigate the
transportation and distribution of
papers, on the ground that the present
system is inefficient and inadequate,
involving unnecessary delays. The
resolutions urge that particular at
tention be paid to the New York terri
tory. The publishers say the conges-
tion here is greater than in any other
part of the country The publishers
urge legislation providing for the
postal requirements of newspapers,
and giving them modern transporta-
ton and distributing facilities.

Garrison Says Garfield
Law Cost Women Jobs
Measure Puts Them on Extra
List, So Pay Is No Longer
Attractive

Lindley M. Garrison. receiver for
the B. r. T., explained yesterday in a
letter to Lewis Nixon, Public Service
Commissioner that his company would
like to retain every woman employe
now on duty, but the Lockfeld- Can
field bill automa atically would force
them from their jobs
He said $50 of the 1925 ticket
agents who worked on night shifts we're
thrown on the extra list by the opera
ton of the law. On the elevated and
subway lines of his company the fol-
lowing women employees were affected: ::
Guards, 1885, car cleaners, 81; porters,
80; totalling Lap.
None Of the women guards have
been discharged, he said, but their
hours have been cut down from nine
to three or five. This has caused fifty
of them to resign, and eventually all
will be driven out, because the hourly
rate will not make it worthwhile to
stay.
Two hundred women employees of the
B. R. I. organized last night at the
B. r. T. Employees Association club
house and adopted resolutions de-
manding repeal Of the law. A COM
mittee was appointed to present the
resolutions to Governor Smith Satur-

Government Runs
City Water Plant
In Winnipeg Strike
Situation Clears as Stores
Begin Making Deliveries
and Union Leaders Agree
to Take Down Placards

WINNIPEG, Man, May 21.-Industry
and the municipality to-day made the
first attempt to throw off the yoke of
inactivity which has rested on Win
nipeg since last Thursday, when more
than 10000 union workmen walked out
IN a general strike. The city's water
supply was brought back to normal by
provincial engineers, who took over the
pumping plant, and business firms be-
gan making deliveries. Only minor
disorders were reported to the police.
Mayor Gray, after meeting union rep
resentatives, who agreed to the city's
demand that placards which said that
union permission had been granted for
the operation of certain activities be
removed, issued the following state
ment
The situation is cleared up, and it
shows who is in authority and who
has always been in authority"
Gideon Robertson, Minister of Labor,
and Arthur Megher, Minister of the
Interior, are expected to be on the
ground tomorrow.
Opinions expressed tonight by la
Dor leaders and employers indicated
tnat the critical period had passed and
that settlement was in sight. Mayor
Gray is making every effort to arrange
for meeting of union representatives
and heads of the iron industry.
James Winning, President of the
Winnipeg Trades and Labor Council,
has notified the Mayor that the unions
are prepared to consider a settlement
on the basis of general union recogni-
tlon and reinstatement of all union
men who went on strike. deleg-
tlon of twenty-four men representing
the railway trainmen to-day urged the
provincial government to act as con-
clliator and bring about industrial
peace as soon as possible. Officers of
union locals said tonight that they
were ready to discuss conciliation.
There was no difficulty in maintain
ing order to-day. The strong force Of
mounted police on duty and the thou
sands of troops modified in barracks
have prevented any semblance of dis
order. Hundreds of citizens have
volunteered for vigilance service

Citizens Union Denies
Credit Is Due Mayor
Saws His Claim for Lower Taxes
Is as <'Unfounded as His

The Citizens Union gave out state
ment yesterday saying that Mayor
Hylan's remarks about his tax reduc-
tions in his comment on the teachers

Hylan to complain of professional up

Tor repeating his claim that reduction
IN the current tax rate was brought
about by the efforts Of the present city

that the present slightly reduced tax
rate resulted: First, from the imitation
