face of the man who sneeringly re-
ferred to his birth and nationality.
I should think so. Only an ignoramus
would sneer at a Jew for being a
Jew. Jewish blood is rich blood.
The North American civilization
will some day embrace five hundred
million people who will speak one
language. In the last analysis there
is only one thing which divides men,
and that is language. Seas can be
crossed, rivers can be bridged, noun
tains can be tunneled, and continents
can be spanned, but language is a
barrier in the realm of thought.
The language of our North Ameri-
can civilization will be English. 1t is
already spoken by one hundred and
eighty million people, one hundred
million of whom reside on the con-
tinent of America. 1t is a universal
language, enriched by contribution
from all other forms of speech, liv-
ing or dead. 1t is the language of
William Shakespeare and John Mil
ton. 1t has no competitors in the
realm of thought exchange.
The sovereign civilization of the
North American continent will pre-
sent many creeds, but only one reli-
gion. Think of the evolution in the
blending of the various phases of re-
ligious thought. Out of it all there
must. come forth a sane and univer-
sal type of religion, in which shall
be inwrought the morality of the
Synagogue, the dignity of the Epis-
copalian, the sagacity of the Metho-
dist, the loyalty of the Baptist, the
universality of the Congregational
ist, the idealism of the Christian
Scientist and the conservatism of the
Roman Catholic. What blend And
in spite of all we can do, there will
be a blend.-From "The Dream of
Theodore Roosevelt"

Periodic Bilious Attacks.

Persons subject to bilious attacks
at regular intervals know about when
to expect an attack. They find that
they have no desire for food when
an attack is due but usually eat be-
cause it is meal time. Skip one meal
and take three of Chamberlain's
Tablets and you may be able to avoid
the attack. Persons subject to period
ic bilious attacks should not drink
tea or coffee at any time.

WHAT PROHIBITION DOES FOR
A CITY.

"The prohibition law is better OBJ
served and better enforced, with few
exceptions than the old restrictive
provisions" says Deets Pickett of the
Board of Temperance, Prohibition
and Public Morals of the Methodist
Church, in an article in recent is
sue of the North American of Phila-
! delphia showing what prohibition
is doing for that city. "It is very
much easier to take a stick of can
iy away from a child than it is to
prevent the child from eating more
than half of the stick" he continues.
s'The same is true of the element of
the population which is hostile to
law. It is much easier to take all Ii
quor from this element than it is to
prevent it from drinking to excess
1t is easier to prevent the saloon
keeper from selling it at all than it
is to prevent his selling out of hours,
selling to minors, interesting himself
in politics and allying himself with
gambling and prostitution.
philadelphia occupies an unique
position in American life. 1t is the
city of independence Hall and the
Liberty Bell, city of high intelli-
gence and staunch character, a city
of substantial trade and beautiful
homes. Also it has frequently been a
city of political corruption, of filthy
streets, of rum rule. 1t has typified
the best and worst in American life.
"The general population of the
city has accepted the prohibition law
in the same sporting spirit of Amer
icanism observable in other cities.
Todd Daniel, in the department of
Justice, said to me: The way in
which the city accepted the law was
nothing less than astounding. We
had expected to have all kinds OF
trouble, but there was not ripple.
One day the saloons were wide open;
the next day they were closed, and
the people accepted the fact without
the slightest opposition f"
A story which was printed in Eng
land, in which it was said that pro-
hibition in the United States "is
doubling the amount of crime, and
has other evil effects" Mr.. Daniel
denominated a falsehood. ''Just get
the figures" he said. There is no go
| ing back on them. know lawyers
who had good criminal practices who
have been put out of business by pro-
hibition. One of them came to the
department of justice and said that
his fourishing criminal practice had
been completely destroyed and that
he wanted job. There are tough
wards in this city where the station
used to be swamped and now on
some Saturday nights there is not
one arrest"
There are police stations in the
tenderloin district of Philadelphia
where the nightly average since pro-
hibition has come into effect has de-
clined from approximately twenty to
two. Examination of the police fig
ures for 1919 show that during the
first six months of the year, under
license, the total number of arrests
was 47,O9O, and for the last six
months, under prohibition, 2S,59O.

every calling as sacred as the calling
of the preacher ought to be. The girl
who stands behind the counter is as
necessary to our present civilization
as the lady who stands before the
same counter. The man who builds
a sewer is a worker as honorable as
the city father who signs the con-
tract. There was time when the
organist would have Jared poorly
with the organ blower. We should
not look down on a man because he
goes down to do the thing that will
not only lift US up, but hold us up.
Our North American civilization
will possess enormous wealth, and
this wealth will be divided and dis

will not be distribution of wealth
but the proper use of money.
