The Purposes Of the Week.

The main purposes of the week are
to inform the public of the accom-
plishments and needs of the public
schools and to secure cooperation and
support of the public in meeting these
needs and to teach and foster good
Americanism.
No service has suffered more from
unintelligent criticism than the

THE JEW In HISTORY

lengthy pamphlets published, Oh
what do you suppose-the lew
in History! Not one OF these
was needed to influence a reader
OF education and culture. Anyone
VIII. has read history, who is cu'-
t, ed in art, music and literature,
K ows the inestinable Influence
OF the Jew on modern civillza-
ton.
We deplore any detailed COM
parison OF what the Jew has done
in military science, in civil gov
eminent, in art, in literature, III
music, because the comparison IS
always unjust! Compared to the
number Of non-Jews, the ratio
is at first glance, unfair!
There are SO many factor;
that enter into the computation
to be considered, that the eW
seems to have by far the pre-
ponderance of testimony! 70:
instance, all the disciples 81
Christ were Jews. He, Himself,
was a Jew! His congregations,
his conversions, his people-were
Jews! He was crucified by a
Roman law--rinknown to liebralc
jurisprudence. He was con-
demned by a Roman tribunal.
The historic fact is, that he was
neither condemned nor cruclt1ed
by Jews. The cowardly plea OF
Plate does not controverts tins.
It confirms it, on the contrary
The mother Of Our Lord was a
Jewess.
Peter. of whom Christ said !:
"On this rock | will build my
church" was Jew In TACT
in ancient history the Importance
and standing OF the Jew is incon-
trovertibly attested.
We will omit the long list or
what the Jews accomplished from
the beginning OF the Christian
Era to more modern times. We
will only advert to the tact tFat
the Jews originated essentially
the monotheism OF the world and
that to them we owe the most pro-
found conception OF the Deity
that mankind had evolved PRIOR
to the Old Testament.

father Of Felix, was recognized as

Roads Net Income
$3.50, 900, 900 in 1920

Washington, Jan. 8-The railroads
of the country earned only about
$50, 900, 900 last year, or 1865, 600, 900
less than in 1919. according to csti-
mates prepared by H. p. Parmelee,
director of the Bureau of Railway
Economics, and made public today.
Mr.. Parmelee estimates that in
1920 the carriers had gross revenue
of $500, 100000 and expenses
amounted to $3.50 900. 900, leaving a
gross revenue of s450,000, 900 De-
duction of taxes and equipment rent
ais amounted to $500. O00,0 900, and left
the net income at $4,000, 600.
This sum is far short of the gov
eminent guarantee. Treasury and
other officials have estimated that
the government must pay the roads
about $60O,000,000 for the six months
period of guaranteed return, which
expired on Sept. 1. New rates be-
came effective then and their opera
tIon served to increase materially
the carriers income, which for the
f1rst ten months of the year showed
a net deficit.
In November. Mr.. Parmelee said,
the revenue of the roads was $685..
0ooNo0 and expenses S505. OOO, 900.
leaving a gross income of $S0,O0O,-
600. Taxes and rental amounted to
S20,0O0,000, giving a net operating in
come of $59,00O,00O.

Seize Still Operated
BY Women In Portland

Portland, Jan. S--Three women
were arrested at 121 Washington ave-
nue., last night after the members Of
Sheriff Graham's liquor squad had
seized a still that was in operation.
The women gave their names as Mrs.
Mary Shane and her two daughters,
Margaret. - years old, and Sarah, .16.
They will be arraigned in the NUM-
cipal Court tomorrow morning.
Deputies Williams. Wheeler. Dough-
", McVane and Hunt visited Mrs.
Slanc's home early last evening. In
the kitchen they found still in oper-
alton. The body of the still, a wash
boiler. had been cleverly fashioned
into holder for the mash. It was
covered with a metal container filed
with ice. This condensed the vapor
and caused it TO drop into q cup-like
receptacle. a small copper line ran
from this point to q long coil of rub
Der hose. a butter tub had been
fashioned into u second condenser
The rubber coil was placed in this. A
line ran from this tub into a large
bottle. When the deputies seized the
still there was over a quart of alcoho,

A search of the home revealed a
number Of pint andhalf-pin whisky
bottles. They also found three large
tubs of mash that had apparently
been prepared for the boiler In a
