THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
St. Paul, Mimi,
Dec. %, 1920.

Dec. II, ~l1ZU.
To the American Jewish World:
In your past several issues,
several editorials have appeared,
which seem to loyal Zionist,
very harmful for the develop
ment of the spirit, which is very
necessary in this critical con-
structive period in Jewish his
tory. Your editor has taken the
privilege of making many sweep
ing, illogical statements, criti-
Ching the National organiza-
ton. He gives no facts nor rea-
sons to justify his suggestions,
but which he apparently feels are
proved plausible by simply ap-
pearing repeatedly in his articles.
One cannot help but smile at the
process of reasoning which at
tempts to prove that, while New
York cannot efficiently admins
trate affairs for the Twin Cities
nor San Francisco, because of the
vast distance between them, Lon
don or some other European city
will be able to.
I do not wish to take your
valuable space, proving or dis
proving any given statements,
for after all why not accept what
was unanimously accepted by the
Buffalo convention where Zion
lists from all over the country
were gathered. Able leaders
after conscientiously studying the
problem presented the So dues
proposition which was approved
by every delegate with no discus
sion as they all realized it's dire
necessity.
We have heard and read and
bewailed the new vicious out
break of anti-Semitism in Henry
Ford's Dearborn Independent"
yet, isn't it just as tragic that our
leaders and editors must still
waste their splendid opportun1-
ties in destruction, rather than
up-building the present Jewish
opportunities? Haven't enough
centuries been wasted in quib-
bling, so that now we could
stand shoulder to shoulder and
make a supreme effort to gain
results that will tend a tiny bit
to eliminate the past ages of suf
fering for the Jewish people?
Why not have few editorials
Cor at least silent co-operation)
that will make the task of col
lecting the So dues just a little
lighter for the loyal few.

Editor of the American Jewish
World:
I have been very much inter
e TED in the counter-offense
launched by some of our leading
Jews against the anti-Semitic
propaganda of Henry Ford. 1t
seems to me that anti-Semitic
propaganda in America has not
originated with the producer of
joyless rides. During my recent

Another Chance
for Promotion

The former Carleton College prop
erty in Pennington continues to be a
source of great concern. What is the
best use to which this now vacant and
unused property can be put continues
to agitate many of our citizens. In
fact The Times itself will not contra
dict such charge. The management
Of this paper has put in considerable
thought as to how best to turn that
splendid property, which for several
years past has been a non-producer,
into the biggest possible producer.
To permit that most excellent prop
erty to continue vacant much longer
will resolve itself into gross neglect,
which is something, The Times feels
very sure, that the good people of
this community does not want to be
guilty of. While housing Of every de-
scription continues to become more
difficult, and harder to get, the over
sight, or fault, we may say, of per-
mitting such a property to continue
vacant.
In this connection, it has been sug-
gested to The Times that perhaps it
would not be difficult matter to get
the Salvation Army organization in
terested in this property, which would
really be ideal as home for delin-
quent and orphan children, in the care
of whom that organization is so great
ly interested. The Salvation Army is
even now branching out through the
country districts with their splendid
work of rescuing and uplifting poor
neglected and delinquent children, ant
they could probably make as good use
of this splendid property as it would
be possible.
The Times is further aware of the
fact that the attention Of the Saliva
tion Army organization is at this time
directed most favorable to St. Fran.
co.'s county as furnishing a somewhat
extensive field for their work, owing
to the great mining fields, wherein is
necessarily bred more or less poverty
and discomfort, which is the harbingel
of derelict and neglected children
Surely no better use could be made OF
the splendid Carleton property thar
Just this, and it might be well to get
in touch with the Salvation Army
Headquarters in st. Louis and see il
satisfactory arrangements can be
made for the establishment of home
for the reclaiming of childhood, right
here where there are so many to be
reclaimed. From the mining districts
of this county alone such an institu-
tion could be largely filled. to the per,
manent good and upbuilding of the
coming citizenship Of this community
This is another important matter
that should be taken up by the newly
organized Chamber Of Commerce.

Interest in Sale
Day Increasing

A splendid degree of interest in
the first big Sales Day for Farming
ton, which is to be held on Oct. End,
is already very apparent. Great in
terest is already developed in this in
novation, and the extensive advertis-
ing that has been planned has as yet
but fairly started. The great induce
ments that will be offered all who
may visit Pennington on that big
day will be carried to the farthest
corners of this county, and will even
penetrate into adjacent counties.
1t is really expected, especially by
the more enthusiastic citizens who
are behind this movement, that Oct.
End will prove to be the biggest day
that Pennington has enjoyed for
many years. Besides the many splen-
did bargains that will be offered that
day by Pennington merchants, the
auction sale that will be conducted,
without the usual commission to be
paid by the seller, as well as. the sale
of number of pure blood cattle, now
being selected by buyers in Georgia,
should have strong drawing effect.
But aside from all this, the big
free drawing of cash and other valu-
able prizes, aggregating in amount
more than $500, is expected to draw
additional thousands to this festival
occasion. Already merchants are
busy giving out freely tickets for
such drawing, which are being eager
ly sought by many. While for this
city the putting on of a regular Sales
nov is on aynarinoent Such enter-
prises have generally proven wonder
fully successful wherever they have
been tried. With the influences be-
hind this movement, there does not
appear to be any chance for anything
but a splendid success. Both the
Pennington Chamber of Commerce
and the Farm Bureau of st. Francois
county are sponsoring this movement,
which certainly bespeaks for it splen-
did success.

A Real Soldier
and An Orator

A splendid audience greeted Col.
Dan Morgan Smith at the Methodist
Church, South, last Friday afternoon
at o'clock, and were well repaid
with an calculating lecture on the life
and incidents of soldiers life in the
late war. His vivid portrayal brought
nearer to the imagery Of his hearers
the sublimely terrible things that
those on the battle front were apt to
be called upon to face at any hour Of
the day or night. While such an ex-
perience is usually dismissed as being
indescribable, a description of those
terrible experiences stand out more
yividly in the minds of the uninitiat-
ed after hearing Col. Smith than
they ever did before.
Not so much from what he said, as
the manner of his saying, one would
judge that he, was an excellent SOL
der, as well as natural and true
leader of men. That he is a fluent
orator, all who heard him will will
inglv testify. While he was portray
ing the battle front, one could almost
hear the eternal and internal clatter,
roar and boom Of machine guns, can
non, whizz-bangs and other internal
implements of human destruction.
! At the close of the lecture, Col
Smith disclosed the fact, to the re-
gret of many, that he was represent
ing the Anti-Saloon League, and
made an insistent appeal for pledges
for the support of that work. The
reason, perhaps, that this appeal was
not received more cordially was that
another speaker, for the same cause
had worked from the same pulpit not
many months ago. However, Col
Smith received several pledges of as
sistance, of which he stated the Anti
Saloon League is in great need.

CHAPTER w.
Miss Donovan Arrives.

When the long overland train
paused a moment before the ancient
box car thatsserved. as the depot for
the town of Haskell, nestled IN the
gulch half mile away. it deposited
Miss Donovan almost In the arms Of
Carson, the station agent, and he,
wary of the wiles of women and the
ethics of society, promptly turned her
over to Jim Westcott, who had come
down to inquire if the station agent
held a telegram for him-a telegram
that he expected from the East.
"She oughtn't to hike to the Tim
mons house alone, JIM" Carson said.
"This yere is pay day up at the big
mines, an the boys are havin' a h
of time"
In view Of this disclosure, Miss
Donovan welcomed the courteous
acquiescence of Westcott, whom she
judged to be man of thirty-one, with
force and character-these written in
the lines of his big body and his
square, kind face.
"Im Miss Stella Donovan Of New
York." size said directly.
"And l.. he returned, with haJ off in
the deepening gloom, lam Jim West
colt, who plugs away at mining
claim over yonder"
"There" laughed the girl frankly
Were introduced. And suppose we
can start for the Timmons house."
As her words traiIed off there came
the sound of yelling, sharp cries
and revolver shots from the gulch be
low where lights twinkled family.
Laughing warmly, Westcott picked
up. her valise, threw a "So-long" to
