DIVINE RETRIBUTION.

One still hears the charge brought
against the Jews that they are the
leaders in Bolshevism. Naturally,
mere denial of the charge will do no
good Most times the wish is father
to the thought in this matter, and when
the Jew is picked in advance as the
scapegoat, it will require more than a
denial to convince the prejudiced ones
And yet, mere self-respect should in
duce the libellers of Jewry as whole
to be silent. True, there are some
Jews who are Bolsheviki, and some Boil
sheviki who are Jews, just as there are
members of every race and creed and
nationality to be found in all councils
of the good and the bad. In the case
of the Jewish Bolsheviki, it is the Jew
who has become unchurched, donation
allied, renegaded to everything the
Jewish people hold dear that lends his
aid to the Bolshevist program.
. But who is to blame for that? Where
were the righteously indignant denounc-
ers of Bolshevism during all the years
that were preparing the fuel for this
iconfiagration of blood? During the
regime of the Gar, when law and or
worse; during the social anti-Semitism
of Prussia; during the unfair, unman-
ly and fanatic persecution of the Jew
in so many lands, where were the pres
ent critics? Did they raise a voice in
protest? Did they demand that JUS
tice be done to the Jew? What won
der then that few misguided men
idealists, according to their light-have
become bitter foes of the established
order? The wonder is that the vast ma
jority of Jews have been able to re-
main as sane, as conservative and as
law-loving as they are.
One need not be mystic to feel that
in the present world crisis there is the
element of Divine retribution. The
old world is being repaid for it's ill
treatment of the Jew, or for it's pas
sive attitude to the wrongs visited
upon an entire people. Russia is being
repaid for her years of bloody repres-
sions. Germany is being repaid for her
refined yet cruel persecution, for her
higher anti-Semitism. And is it not ret
ribution that some of the punishment
come through sons, even straying sons,
of the oppressed Jewish people.
In these days it may be old-fash-
iOned to speak of Israel's immunity, or
of Jewish eternity or of retributive
God. But do not the events before
your very eyes prove that God is long
suffering yet faithful to requite?

er gets less and the consumer pays
the same for flour and brand. The De-

it worked against the wheat farm
er and in favor of the cotton planter
during the war, has worked against
the farmer in grading his wheat and
in favor of the miller. Recently a

older and simpler state methods

central points up to year ago to the
more complex system adopted by the
Department. In Minnesota, for in

designating wheat. Numerous in

this, when the farmer sold his wheat

paid the larger return.
But under the new method devised
by the Bureau of Markets ninety-six
varieties were established and under
the food administration act the in
spectors of Minnesota were taken
over by the federal administration.
There had been an appeal board un-
der the state, but now there was also
federal appeal board. Under the
new grading, penalties were imposed
against the farmers for slight
amount of moisture, for damaged
kernals and for mixing. Hence the
