THE PROTOCOLS" AGAIN.

AS this issue Of the Jewish Ex-
ponent is about to go to press
our attention has been directed to
a copy of the American edition
of the so-ca11ed Protocols and
World Revolution" issued by the
publishing house of Small, May
nard and Co., of Boston. The
subheading of this book states
that it includes "a translation and
analysis of the Protocols Of the
Meetings of the Zionist Men of
Wisdom" Our readers will re-
call that this nefarious fraud has
been exposed in these columns
by men of the calibre of Lucien
Wolf and Solomon Reinach on
the occasion of the appearance of
the English version. The book
purports to be part of a work
issued in Russia in 1905 by Serge
Nilus, said to be Russian col
1ege professor, who incorporated
in the original the so-called "Pro-
toco1s," which it is claimed set
forth the plan formulated by "the
Elders of Zion" to secure the
Jewish domination of the world
and the undermining of Chris
tianity. The place of the meet

A SUGGESTIVE BIT OF
SATIRE.

The following lines, which ap-
peared in the editorial columns
of recent issue of the Detroit
Times, contain as keen a bit of
satire as we have had the privi-
lege of reading for some. time.
Mr.. Schermerhorn, the editor,
senses the issue of the Jew as a
world power" very keenly. What
he says of Mr.. Schif would be
equally true of most of the great
leaders in finance who happen to
have been of the Jewish faith.
The names of Baron de Hirsch,
of Rothschild, of Montefore, and
others are more Intimately con-
nected with works of philan-
thropy and benevo1ence and
education than they are with the
amassing of great fortunes. In

Mr.. Schlact was recommended
to the post by immigration Com

and his appointment was con-

office resolve, Further, it is our
duty to proceed at once to such
a reorganization of the Zionist
Organization of America as will
enable it to meet the conditions
that have arisen in Palestine. All
expenditures of the Organization
outside of Palestine must be re-
duced to minimum and in order
that this may be done, it is neces-
sary to simplify the work so as to-
make possible its concentration
upon the one great task
It seems to us that the best way
to simplify the work is to SIM
plify the organization. And to
simplify the organization and to
bring about real economy and
efficiency in future Zionistic
work in this country, means the
breaking up of the present Zion
ist organization of America into
at least. ten independent organ
izations, having their centers in
such cities as Boston, Philadel-
phia, Chicago, Cleveland, New
Orleans, San Francisco, etc. The
New York office will have
enough to do to take care of the
city of New York and its ada
cent territory. 1t may seem
paradoxical to say that decon-
centration will result in great
efficiency and economy, when
the present tendency in all
things is concentration for the
purpose Of achieving the desir-
able results mentioned. But in
the case of American Zionism
concentration has proved fail
ure, and a costly one at that. Let
us now try the other plan. We
shall not do any worse. Mime
sofa and the few surrounding
states can easily attach them
selves to Chicago and Illinois to
form one federation. We shall
then be in close touch with our
center, which will result in bet
ter mutual control and supervis-
ion.

deed they suggest certain COM
parsons and contrasts with other
hnanciers not of the Jewish faith.
Mr.. Schermerhorn's editorial
reads as follows:
"The esteemed Dearborn Inde-
pendent's disclosures Of a world
wide Semitic cabal, for the pur-
pose of holding the financial des-
tiny of Christendom in the ho1-
low Of an international Shylock's
hand, is confirmed by the passing
of Jacob H. Schiff, banker and
philanthropist, of New York.
''His will bestows upon philan-
thropies, settlements, education
and art $1,35O,OOO, which of
course is only to conceal the fell
designs against the universe that
the balance of the estate will be
devoted to under the direction of
his son and daughter.

ploitation of the world is not only
international but intercollegiate,

"As conspirator Schif seems
to have been audacious and in
elusive. It is hard to get his
viewpoint, unless one credits him
with an earnest desire to serve
the age in which he lived, quite
unmindful of the calumnies which
prejudice, envy and covetousness
have heaped upon his aspiring

ing is not disclosed. Neither is
the name of a single person al
legged to have attended it. Nilus
claimed to have obtained the
Protocols" from one Souchotin,
marshal of the Russian nobility,
who is stated to have received it
from "a lady," whose name is not
mentioned. On such a flimsy,
tricky and transparent basis the
publishers have the audacity to
assume responsibility for this ne
farious act of anti-Semitic propa-
ganda, stating that "there is not,
and in the nature of the case,
hardly can be any direct evidence
as to the authenticity of the
Protocols" There is however,
a considerable body Of facts"
bearing upon this question which
the publishers of this book put
before the reader, leaving him to
draw his own conclusions. These
facts" are provided for the
American edition. Their object
is to show that the Protocols"
predicted the Bo1shevist move
ment, which is identified as dis
tinctively a Jewish. movement.
Many of these so-cal1ed facts
have been shown to be false, and
fraudulent, notably a speech at
tributed to Adolph 'Cremieux,
which he never delivered.
The Exponent is informed on
reliable authority that this pub
LEGATION is being sent gratuitously
to a large number of public men
throughout the United States,
thus placing upon this propagan-
da the stamp of a vicious anti
Semitic movement to which the
publishers have lent their name.
The people back of this action,
whose cowardice is thus shown
to be on a par with their malevo-
lence, should have enough de-
cency and manliness to come for
ward and disclose their identity.
For the present we simply call
the attention Of our readers to
this action, which every true and
righteous American and every
decent man in any place will stig-
Matte as an outrageous and dis
graceful deed. We shall have
more to say about it hereafter

greatly concerned for a week on ac-
count of the extreme illness of little
Beulah Lee. From merry, singing
little girl who attracted everyone
who saw her, she was Frustrated by
illness. But even then the doctor said
she was the best little patient anyone
could possibly have. She had been
looking forward to seeing herself at
the moving picture baby show on Sat-
urday night, but many of US feared
she would be changed to another land
of children by that time. With the
prayers of such good parents as she
has and the many others in our COM
munity and the devoted work and at
tention of DR.. Tompkins and the
trained nurse and other helpers, she
is on the road to recovery.

Beyond, because as long as he is deal
ing in whiskey he is committing a
great sin, and there is nc chance, in
my mind, of his ever entering the
Kingdom of God, for he is worse than
the man who drinks it. He is making
drunkards and wrecking happy
homes, all for the sake of the al
mighty dollar.
Prohibition will help our bankers,
merchants and farmers in their bus
iness transactions. Ladies that are
clerking and bookkeeping in the
stores and banks will not be embar-
rassed by drunkards. Bankers Will
not be worried in making loans to
drunkards, for it is embarrassing to
turn down good-hearted man that
cannot pay his debts on account OF
drink. Clerks in dry goods and gro
cery stores will not be bored by the
drunkard, as they will have money to
pay for what they get. Merchants are
not bothered by their bookkeepers
and clerks getting their books tan
gled on account of being under the
influence of whiskey.
Our county officers will not be
bothered with the drunkard begging
for money to buy whiskey with. Pros
hibition will help the county officers
themselves, as they heretofore, have
been accustomed to drinking with
their friends. 1t will enable them to
keep their books and accounts
straight.
There has been time when it was
dangerous for lady to drive on a
public highway for fear that she
would meet up with some drunkard
on the road. 1t is different now as we
have prohibition. Without prohibi-
tion it would almost be impossible to
travel the roads in automobiles, as
whiskey and gasoline will not mix.
The poor old horses and mules that
the drunkards used to drive could be
whipped and made to get back into
the road. The automobile refuses to
obey under the lash of the whip. Be-
fore prohibition, nine out of ten
wrecks in automobiles were caused
by whiskey. Prohibition will help the
railroad men, because there are so
many lives that are dependent on
them.
There are a great many people
who claim that they can get all the
whiskey they want but we are proud
that a great majority of the men of
Edgefeld county are too proud to
slip around to a bootlegger to get
whiskey.
Prohibition brings about energy
and thrift, and helps to bring out the
qualities of man.
There was an old 1rishman who
liked rum, and he used to call it the
DEVILS fire water, which name,
think, is very appropriate. think it
was intended for the devil and not
/
for the men of Edgefeld county.
We have as good blood in the veins
of the men of our county as there is
in the world, high-toned, big-hearted
gentlemen.
Anyone who wants to see, can see
that prohibition has already helped
our county great deal. One hardly
ever sees a drunken man now. Why
should not the men of Edgefeld
county be as far from drink as the
ladies are? Prohibition will help
them to be.
Prohibition for me once and al
ways. Let us all strive to enforce pro-
hibition and we will always have it.
