wrath upon them. Governments de-

churches damned them; society de-

Fallen. But Rising Again.
II the jew did not succumb it was
because he had faith in the promises
made concerning him. As he fell in
calamity he assured himself he would
rise on the day when right conquered.
To the letter has the promise to Abra-
ham been realized, 81 will make thy
Seed" says Scripture in the name Of
God, "like the dust Of the earth
What a sad emblem is this! The dust
under our feet is "the symbol of the
downtrodden and the enduring" So
long as earth lasts there will be dust,
and dust is the symbol Of the Jew,-to
be trampled down by the nations Of
the earth. But a hopeful sign and
symbol it is, also. The more the dust
is trodden upon the more ii rises, and
settles about those who tread upon it.
Thus the jew, trodden under foot,
trampled on by the nations Of the
earth, has risen, and his ideals are
slowly but surely being woven into
the social fabric.
Willing TO Forgive and Forget
Israel would forget and forgive.
Yet, would this people thrice daily
repeat the time-honored prayer with
all sincerity, "oh my Godl May my
soul be silent toward those who curse
me; and grant that my soul may be

not open to him. Governments pas
sed laws restricting the number Of
marriages permitted each year,
among this people, hoping, no doubt
to thus impair domestic morals.
Prescribed 0utcast
Year in and year out preachers
Numbered against the Jews. Even
Luther advised, Treat the Jews as
gypsies; cut out the tongues Of their
best and most learned men, unless
they accept the teachings Of Chris
tianity!' II was, therefore, not
strange that all manner Of accusa-
tons should be brought against this
unfortunate people, that II should
be falsely urged, with the intent of
arousing anti-Jewish demonstrations,
which so often terminated in riot, pill
lage and murder, that the Jews killed
Christian children and used their
blood Tor the passover service. In
the face Of denials and proof Of the
falsity Of the accusation, urged on by
Popes and other dignitaries Of Church
and State, the easily inflamed masses,
trained to believe anything bad Of the
Jew, again and again put Israel to the
sword, dashing children against rocks,
disemboweling women and maidens,
and giving their property over to loot
and fire.
Blood Accusations
For centuries the Jews were denied
civil, political and religious rights,
and three-fourths Of their number
still are. In many lands they ere
forced to enter the army, to be at the

beck and call Of their unjust and un-
grateful fatherland, without hope of
reward or advancement. In many
lands they still are under the ban of
prospective legislation compelled to
reside therein as aliens, but forced to
do the duties of citizens. The agencies
Of malice have been exhausted upon
them. The instruments of cruelty
have forged letters for their body,

jewelry and display; that we are given
to Boosting. We willingly admit that
this is true Of some Of our people, but
we are equally willing to 20 much
further. In the ranks of those who
call themselves Jews there may be
found scamps and scoundrels, rogues
and rascals, swindlers and sharpers.
But are Gentiles free from such?
Have you not one for every one Of
ours? 1t is not more than probable
that the proportion is even higher
among Others than among those of
Israel? Let that the Jew is an incon-
siderable source Of trouble TO the vari-
Gus authorities.
Judge the Jew as a Man
You would have US Judge you by
your best. You judge US by our worst.
The jew has the right to demand, o
Gentle world that you play fair with
him. One may wound a mans body and
with the help Of skillful medical at
tcntion, he may speedily recover. But
for well nigh twenty centuries the
Gentle world has sought to wound the
Jews soul, using every means TO
degrade his intellect, to impoverish
his resources, to break his spirit; yet
is he held responsible for the conse-
quences Of unparalleled cruelty and
unexampled atrocity; yet is he judged
by his worst. In spite Of the causes
which have operated adversely on the
Jews, We are ashamed Of some who
bear that name. In sorrow we are
compelled to admit that we have
among us those whom we regret to
call sons and daughters Of Israel. But
the Jew is not perfect and does not
claim to be. He freely admits that he
is heir to all the weaknesses Of human
flcsh il is not just, not fair, nor right,
nor proper, @ mighty Gentle world,
to set up double moral standard, es-
timating the Jews by one and your
selves by another.
Jewish Methods VS.. Other Methods.
II is urged that the Jew is feared
because Of Jewish Methods"
1.-The capacity for exploitation" We
admit that there are some among US
that act without conscience! All Jews
are not angels, but neither are all Of
them devils. May we not, however,
ask you, o Gentle world, II the deeds
Of all Non-Jews are marked by seru-
pulous conscientiousness? You speak
Of Jewish Methods! How about
the parable OF the beam and the motel
II is, Of course, an i'll mending Of the
matter TO extenuate vice by vice, for
two wrongs never make one right.
A 'tu quoque" argument settles no
question definitely. But is il not fair
to expect that Of those who, them
selves, are afflicted with human fol-
bles should be possessed Of full know
ledge Of what they deplore in others
before they condemn! Is II more than
simple justice to expect that the Jew
should be measured by the same mea-
sure as the NOn-Jew! That a whole
people should not be indicted for the
sins Of few! II has been urged that
one Of the distinguishing traits Of the

humble as the dust to everyone!" But
there is no respite. A few decades
Of peace pass for few members of
the house Of Israel, when out Of the
darkest Russia come the pogroms,
with their massacres, mutilations and
murderers, following hard on the
heels of Polish and Roumanian intol-
lerance and Galician bigotry. Then

hood and Womanhood willing to make
every sacrifice that honor, loyalty and
patriotism can demand. Hardly has
the cannon cease to boom in Europe
that we find the anti-Semite plying
his dastardly trade in free America.
Oh that we were given a chance to
forgive, the opportunity to forget!
Willingly would we embrace the OPP
portunity! We have given but the
barest and briefest outline Of the
martyrology Of Israel, suffered in all
land, and in all ages, and now and
always destined to handicap, to men,
tally and MORALLY dwarf, to check, to
beat, to overcome, to overthrow, to de-
stroy the Jew. Again we ask, who
stands condemned before the bar Of
eternal justice, the Jew or his oppres-
sors?
Vision Of Idol Of Oppression
A vision rises before our eyes. We
see grinning idol like those before
which the old world bowed in rever-
ence. 1t has thousand heads and
twice thousand hands. With each Of
these thousand heads it pronounces a
false charge against the people Of
Israel and in each of the two thousand
hands 1t bears weapons Of destruction,
wherewith il strikes down this de-
fenseless people. But about that peo-
pie, o Gentle world, we see the ever
lasting arms Of God defending il
against the brutal, cruel, ferocious,
murderous onslaught Of maddened
masses and barbarous brutes. We
also hear the sound Of grateful voices
chanting praise in the words Of the
Psalmist: "lf il had not been the
LORD who was for us, Let Israel now
say; IL it had not been the Lord who
was for us, When men rose up against
us, Then had they swallowed us up
alive, When their wrath was kindled
against US; Then the waters had over
whclmed US, The stream had gone over
our soul. Blessed be the Lord, who
hath not given US as a prey to their
teeth. Our help is in the name Of the
Lord, Who made heaven and earth"
psalm cxxv).
Israel's Faults.
oh, Gentle world you have accused
US Of grave wrongs. Wherein are we
wrong? That we adhere to the truth
as God gives us the light to see Il!
Is that wrong! We are weak, erring,
full Of faults as Others are, because
like them, we are human. That we
make mistakes as others do, we read
lily concede; but, again, we are only
human. II is said that we use our
hands and raise our voices high when
talking; that our women are fond Of

MAY TRY TO ABOLISH
OBJECTIONABLE RULE
Eliminate Goal From Touchdown.
Says Cavanaugh.
Many Close Students of Football Have
for Years Favored Abolition OF
Play-chicago-onio State
Game Is Cited.

Frank w. Cavanaugh, former Dart
mouth star and successful coach at
Boston college, says that '.the goal from
touchdown is going to be eliminated
Cavanaugh takes the attitude that
the presence of the rule permits OF
many injustices In the game. He says:
with the old rules it made con-
siderable difference where the ball was
downed after a player had gone over
the line for a touchdown. 1t did seem
an injustice that because team hap
pened TO go over the goal line for
touchdown while close to the side lines,
the try for a goal should be a more
difficult matter than if the ball had
been downed directly under the goal
posts or close to it.
For that particular reason great
many close students of the game have
for years favored the entire abolition
of the play. I feel positive that
great majority of the coaches would
like to see it eliminated. However,
there are some people who still cling
to the neutrality-suspicious. idea. Some
of them stand high in the game and
in order TO appease the minority as
well as the majority, the rule was
changed prior to the start of the 1920
season. In an effort to eliminate as
nearly as possible the loss of games
through the failure to kick goal after
touchdown it was ruled that all such
attempts should be made from a point
directly in front of the goal posts.
Ordinarily it would seem that the
kicking of suchNa goal would be very
easy matter. As rule it is, yet many
an important game was decided last
fall through the medium of a goal
after touchdown. Take one of the
Western conference games for exam
ple Ohio State defeated Chicago z
to 6, both teams making a touchdown.
but Chicago failed TO kick the goal.'
