In fond remembrance OF our dear
father. Edward Carter, who died at
his home on New North Road, Gin
ter Park, Richmond, Va, August 7,
1917:
membrancc of him seems like yes
terday. Oh, such a happy remem-
brance Of one whose motto was, "Do
unto all mankind as you wish to be
done by" and Love your neighbor
as yourself" Those are some OF his
last words to us as our guide. And
above all, he said, Meet me in
Heaven" We are striving by the
power Of the Holy Spirit for that
Same glorious end.

aso gave very interesting talk to

our feelings towards her. May God
bless her and that she may live long
to do much good in this world.

ATTORNEY HEWIN INJURED.

Attorney ]. Thomas Hewm was
painfully injured when street car
struck the Ford limousine i'll which
he was riding, Wednesday afternoon,
Juy 30, on 32nd Street near 9 Street.
1t seems that the street car was two
blocks away when Mr.. Hewin first
crossed the track. His signal was
evidently misunderstood for the car
crashed into the automobile throwing
Mr.. Hewin in such a manner as to
make bad cash over the eye and to
dislocatc his shoulder. He was con-
veyed to Memorial Hospital, but his
restless nature would not permit him
to remain. He is now attending to
his business.

THE COMMUNITY CHEST.

There is no doubt that Minneapolis
Jewry will rally intellectually to the
support of the Community Chest, the
campaign for which will be waged dur
ing the week December LIST to 9Th. The
very name of the treasury which is to
finance the welfare and charitable en-
deavors of Minneapolis during the COM
ing year is expressive of the best inter-
ests of all it's citizens. This year, it is
no longer War Chest, as happily the
war is over But it is a Community
Chest, and we are now community as
never before, for we are all welded to-
gether by bonds, old and new.
Jewish causes are represented IN the
Community Chest by the Jewish War
Relief and the Associated Jewish Char
tiles. 1t goes goes without saying that
Jewish contributions will be proportion
ately represented in the total subscribed
and paid. To speak selfishly, for mo-
ment, no one who has not in the past had
a share in the task Of raising funds can
realize what blessing the Community
Chest is. 1t relieves the regular work
ers from the need of being perpetually
on the go to raise the needed budget. AS
a result, more time can be spent on
planning constructive policies and doing
needed communal planning and building.
In these days of cooperation even
city's relief agencies should handle their
budget and plan their campaigns along
the most approved lines Of efficiency. In
such work the Jews should and will do
their fullest share. Success to the Com
munity Chest and may it's quota be over
subscribed.

ANTI-ALIEN BILL ADOPTED
IN ENGLISH PARLIA-
MENT.

London (By I. ]. P. B. )-Parlia-
ment has finally passed the Anti
Alien Bill, in spite of the objections
of Colonel Wedgewood and others,
who declared that it's passage would
obstruct friendly relations with
foreign nations, and keep England
from extending the rights of pro-
lection to the oppressed of other
countries. One of the many severe
conditions in the Anti-Alien bill is
that no firm may employ more than
twenty-five percent of foreign labor.

TINE REGISTER would SURRENDER.

The pes Moines Register would take
care OF the Des Moines retail interests
in the local coal mining district by
making complete surrender to the
negro and Italian coal miners OF that
vicinity who are demanding more than
$40 per day for digging coal. The
Register would have Governor Hard
ins seize the mines repudiate the fed
eral governments arbitration of IA
per cent increase to the miners and
give them 81 per cent increase or
whatever they may ask in order to get
them to dig coal.
Down in Kansas they have a differ
ent spirit and O. governor with differ
ent ideas. The Kansas governor is
calling for volunteers to dig coal at
the governments arbitration price and
the volunteers are going to the front.
The Register would acknowledge
that this democracy Of ours can con-
script 1000 OOO of the best young men
in the nation and send them across
seas to foreign soil to face death and
destruction for s35 per month but that
II does not have the power and its
public officers do not have the courage
to make lot of negro and Italian
laborers dig coal for $3.50 per month.

cause Europe can not continue to buy

He would encourage soldiers to settle

to say as to a bonus. He would have
the country believe that adoption Of

very much exception can he taken, nor

There is no censorship like that of

MAKE US co TO BED"

When the two older girls were chill
drcu they would sit nodding. tired and
sleepy as the evening wore on. Finally
one of them would say, Mother, make
US go to bed!'
Something about our desire for
censorship of picture shows and the
suggestion that the public must be
protected against itself without using
individual initiative itself irresistibly
reminds us Of the children striving
against going to bed OF their own in
tsative. OF course, nasty shows should
not be permitted as a public protec-
ton. whether they are picture shows or
any other shows, but why do We keep
on going to them? Why do we insist

Why would an exceptionally decent
community fill the seats at an off-coior
show with women and men and chill
drsn when those same people would
not consider going together to an off,
color. bu-lesaue show? II isn't neces-
sary to censor the ordinary buriesque

children. She stays away from 1t and
keeps the children away. II Father
Respectable goes he slips in and ex-
plains that he had a business appoint

People do not have to see nasty
shows, listen to rotten stories or read
obscene books. Even If decoyed into
such shows or in company where such
tales are standard. or having opened
book, they can always go away or
throw the book away. They don't
have to stop. look and listen until it is
all over with.
Is it absolutely necessary to have
