KRAUS AND ROSENWALD
CABLE PROTEST TO
WILSON

Mr.. Adolf Kraus, President OF the
Independent Order of B'nai Birth
and Mr.. Julius Rosenwald, Vice
Chairman of the American Jewish
Committee, have sent the following
cablegram to President Wilson:
Chicago, May oath, 1919.
His Observation-Disclosures Wilson,
President of United States Of
America, Paris.
Tohn F. Smulski published his
cablegram to you, therefore TINS
reply.
Mr.. Smu1ski, on behalf of Amer
lean citizens of Polish blood and
origin, says concerning the charge
that his countrymen are numbering
Jews, eve know these stories are
false, for the men against whom the
crimes are being charged are Our
brothers and fathers
This is merely his statement; he
offers no evidenced! On the other
hand, we have in our possession
names of numerous victims of those
who have been massacred.
Reliable reports have reached us
of hundreds of Jews killed and
burned alive in Poland, thousands
wounded, and hundreds of thousand
pillaged and their homes ruined. 1t
is feared that a war of exterm1na-
ton is planned.
Lord Parmoor of the English
House of Lords, on April 18th, 1919,
in addressing a meeting in London,
commenting on the Jewish mas
sacres in Poland said in regard to
them, "a blot on the face of civll1za-
tion," "a question that concerns not
onlv the Jews but the whole CIVIL
lied world" "outrages against
which all civilized mankind should
Immediately protest.
American citizens, irrespective OF
religion. who stand aghast at the
brutality directed against Polish
Jews. have no desire for vengeance.
They wish all the people Of Poland
and Roumania happiness and pros
perity. They ask merely that the
butchery of Jews be stopped and
that Justice be accorded to them IN
those lands in which it is denied
them in precisely the same manner
and to the same extent it is &C
corded their neighbors.

NIMBLE NELSON.

When John Nj. Nelson was six years
old the publisher of this paper stepped
into the second ward voting precinct
of this city and cast his first ballot. 1t
was for the Republican candidates.
We were of candid belief that 1t was
the most stable and reliable party - the
Lincoln party and entertain the same
belief today, but do not hesitate to say
that the party has made mistakes and
that black sheep have infested the fold.
Notwithstanding these drawbacks 1t rs,
in our opinion, the premier party of to-
day. Hence we are still Republican
and hope sincerely that Calvin Coolidge
will be our next President. He's pre-
mer stuff.
What about John NJ Nelson whose
aspirations and desires have been grant
ed by the Republican voter good
many times This year he is vigorous
ly opposing Coolidge and the Republi-
can administration. but wants and needs
the Republican votes of this Congress
ional district to return him to Congress.
Because of his being an open bolter,
we are uncompromlsingy opposed TO
Mr.. Nelson as a Republican representa-
tive, as he is not He should not be
on the Republican ticket, having taken
the position OF being a Republican bnly
one day IN two years He should get
on the third party or independent ticket,
where he belongs
Our opposition is not confined to Mr..
Nelson, but extend to an who we're
elected as Republicans aud have Jailed
to serve as Republicans after election
day. Such men are not entitled to con-
sideratlon as Republicans from our
point Of view.
They have a grade of brass" in their
make up that needs a thorough melting.

NOTE THE GREAT CONTRAST.

Abusing Of man, tearing down of
American principles and customs, its
Constitution, etc. seems to be La Fol
lette's text for all his speeches. Not a
good word for any person or anything
except his own ideas, mostly radical.
What's the trouble with his brain sells ?
His trying to make everyone dissatis-
fled is simply wildcat politics. When
man gets TO preaching that everybody
is wrong but himself, be he Christian
or patriot, is it unreasonable to rate
him as a conceited fanatic? From our
view there is as much difference be-
tween Bob of 80 and Bob of 70 as there
is between an angel and satan.
Now note the great contrast between
the foregoing style of speech and that
of Calvin Coolidge, another candidate for
the highest honor that can be bestowed
on man in this life During a talk on
Wednesday of last week at the unveil-
ing Of monument in Washington, Mr..
Coolidge displayed his makeup as a
air-minded. patriotic. conscientious,
country loving, God respecting man.
We quote briefly of what he said
The government of country never
gets ahead of the religion of country ."
There is no way by which we can
substitute the authority of the law for
the virtue OF man."
Peace, justice, humanity. charity
cannot be legislated into being, They
are the results of a divine grace.
1--WE cannot depend on government
to DO the work of religion. Society can
not succeed when the individual fails.
There are only two main theories Of
government in the world One rests
on righteousness. the other rests on
force. One appeals to reason, the
other appeals to the sword, One is ex-
emplihed in a republic, the other is rep
resented by despotism. Under our
constitution America committed itself
to the practical application of the rule
of reason. with the power held in the
hands Of the people.
"Our government rests upon relig-
ion Ii is from that source that we
derive our reverence for truth and JUS
tice, for equality and liberty, and for
the rights of mankind

started out with an unostentatious

to Freeport, and there built up elaoor-

guls of the middle west. He is said TO

CONSTITUTION MUST BE UPHELD.

The people are the rightful masters
of both Congress and the courts, not
to overthrow the Constitution, but to
overthrow the men who pervert IL.
Legislation and adjudication must fol-
low and conform to the progress OF
society. Is it unreasonable to expect
that some man, possessed of the
Hottest genius coupled with ambition
sufficient TO push it to the utmost
strength, will at some time spring up
among US? And when such one does,
it will require the people to be united
with each other, attached to the gov
eminent and laws. and generally in
telligent. to successfully Illustrate
his designs. Abraham Lincoln.

AT the first appearance of Bob La
Toilette on the political turf in quest Of
public office, we formed a strong liking
for him That was ia 1884, when he
came out as candidate for Congress,
this district We were at the helm Of
The Tribune then as now. He was
bright, prudent solicitious, warm and
genial. We supported him with all our
ability as a publisher and even with
our cash. We weep not today because
of it, as La Toilette then is not La Fol
lette OF today. What havoc time makes.
Today he is cold. far less prudent and
solicltious, is snarly, vitriohe, dissatis-
fed. not a favorable word for what is
reasonable and better for mankind I'm
less it's Of his own formula He seems
happiest when indulging IN insinuations

at the public trough provided by the
Republican party. Now he and every
member of his family are clamoring
from platforms all over the country for
the humiliation of the Republican party,
its staunch and honorable members, in
fact everything labeled Republican.
Please halt for moment and mediate
on what would most surely have hap
pened 10 this country. It's peace and
prosperity and freedom without the
