WHY SADNESS IN ULO ACCT

1t is true that the clouds that gather
about the setting sun do take sober
coortng from an eye that has kept

thought OF constantly lessening actiyi.

enough to make one pause and consid.
er. But consideration that goes far
enough will reveal that all time, wheth.
er of this world or another. is an I'm.
ending opportunity for progression.
After all. the whole matter Of age Is
something that has to do with the mind
rather than the body. And when the
body begins to fail, when gray hairs
appear. the step becomes less springy.

The mind Is great crucible which

Exercise Of the will cannot at last
stave off death. and 1t may not induce
prolonged health or material welfare.
But 1t can aid In all these things, and

complishments, the will that is kept

"Oh, well for him whose will is

For him whose will is weak, or rGth-
er allowed. to become weak, there is
Joy neither in a sunset nor a sunrise.
And even the bright light Of MONDAY
will only dazzle and bewilder. rather
than encourage and inspire.
The strong will sees endlessly, "be-
yond the sunset and the paths Of all
the western stars" 1t strengthens a
man in hope and leads him to see un-
limited possibilities as the years pass.
Sadness is the last thing that ought to
characterize age.-Kansas City Star.

On Way
To Synagogue

"BREST L1TOVSK, PROVINCE
OF GRODNO.-The Polish soldiers
here constantly arc on the lookout
for Jews on their way to the syna-
goguc whom they arrest and put to
forced labor. Several times the SOL
diers even entered the synagogue
and, at the point of a revolver,
took men away in the midst of the
service. At night they attack the
homes of the Jews and requisition
everything they can lay hands on.
The Christian population is not re-
quired to do forced lacor and no
acquisitions are called for. from
Christians"

Butchers Hide
In Basement

AS most of them were armed
with clubs and many with irons, the
Jewish butchers hid in the base
ments Of their stores. Two Jew
ish boys, Jacob and Salman Ansel.
were trying to save some of their
belongings and remained in their
store. The mob broke in the door
and it fell upon Jacob Ansel. The
crowd sat upon the heavy door,
which was already crushing the
boy, and the boy was begging for
his life. His father, Pinchas Ansel,
who was safe in the basement, on
seeing that his son would surely be
strangled, threw the door of the
basement open and rushed upstairs
to plead with the mob for his son.
Instead of helping his son, however,
the old man only FASTENED his death.
In response to the plea of the father
one man in the mob rushed up to
the struggling youth and stuck a
knife into his breast. The lad ex-
pired in a few minutes.
"The other brother had meantime
managed to escape. He was fol
lowed by a mob, and as it was fast
overtaking him he jumped into the
river. Being a good swimmer he
landed on the other side, where sew
eral Christians helped him ashore
and spirited him away to a hospi-
tall"

lei to such Oppression of the Jewish
race anywhere in history.
LAS in the middle ages, the War
saw ghetto has her gates to-day.
The end of Bielanska Street is ore
gate, the military barracks in the
Pereyezd is the other gate. Here
is the frontier. On one side lives
the liberated Poland. On the other
side live Poland's unprotected, OPP
pressed, awe-stricken Jews.
Commerce is dead. If person
still has a little something saved UP
from the past, he is sure to have
1T taken away from him by confi,.
cation. This, of course, is done in
the interest of the people: specula-
ton must be checked. But the
cruellest of all speculations. the
speculation which is the cause %
all of Poland's evils.-the specula-
ton in food, which causes the con-
slant and arbitrary imitation Of
prices-this speculation goes on
unmolested.
"Citizen Moraczewski, the condi-
tons which you tolerate in the Jew
lsh quarter are a crime against the
most elementary conceptions OF
democratic government. They are IA
crime against Poland, the Poland
which is in the making. For il is in,-
possible to believe that such condl-
tons can go on fer any length OF
time without something horrible
happening. The Christian population
is becoming accustomed to tne
thought that the Jews Of Poland are
outside the law The Jews arc be-
coming accustomed to the thought
that they have nowhere to look for
help, for protection. The Jewish
delegations return with insult for an
answer. | look on these conditions
with fear and trembling. Such an
indifference on The part of govern
ment toward them the Jews have not
had in their worst times-not in the
times Of Russian rule, not in the
time of German occupation. | know
it is terrible thing to make such
statement, but what is the profit in
my being silent when the facts them
selves cry aloud these truths?
