Blessed Be The Saver

The Silk Shirt era in American his
tory has about passed. The wild orgy
of high wages, high prices and high
life is beginning to abate. The Jazz
Jamboree is all but over. The "cold
gray dawn of the morning after" is
peeping in at the windows, and the
realization that there is actually to be
Il tomorrow has penetrated the public
consciousness. After the long night,
wherein folly reigned, sane virtues
were banished and money flowed like
water, it is blessed relief to contem-
plate the impending change.
But what of the day? Our National
poise has been sadly upset. The an
cient homely doctrines of thrift and
sane living have been relegated to the
rear. Certain old-fashioned persons at
various and sundry times in recent
years have urged that these be given
profound respect. Their protestations
have been unheeded. On with the
dance. Let joy be unconfined. The
world owes us, not only living, but
luxuries. Indulge while you may.
But now? Cold facts have intrud-
ed. The fiddler must be paid. He is
2 Grass, mercenery, unreasoning per-
son. Nothing satisfies him but the
cash. And the gay butterflies who
wasted their substance when it was
plentiful are now finding that the dol
lar they SO despised,. and flung about
so freely, is a prime necessity.
One can be plain and blunt with n
chastened butterfly. There is just one
remedy for all this grief-and that
is thrift. 1t is nothing more nor less
than n good habit. 1t takes account
of the little things. 1t does not neces-
sarily mean penny-pinching but it
does comprise a wholesome regard for
trifles. And if there ever was a need
for strict, genuine old-fashioned saw
ings in all of its old-fashioned sense,
that time is now, and the place is
Kansas, in the United States of Ameri-
ca.
This truth cannot be too strongly
urged. There are abundant indications
now that it will be heard, whereas
one, two, three years ago the voice of
sanity was lost in the discords of the
iazz orchestra. For conditions have
changed. Money is tight" Many
markets have broken. The golden
flood has thinned to a trickling stream
and the dollar is slowly resuming its
lost estate.
Many grown-ups are still obdurate.
But they will come around. And. in
the meantime, let the children know
of the blessings that regular savings
can invoke. There ought to be room
in the curriculum of every public school
for course in thrift. Many children,
alas, have no precepts and no example
at home. But at school there is some

CHAPTER w.
Prejudice and Persecution.

Prejudice and Persecution.
As a logical corallory, race pre-
JUDGE finds its active expression in
persecution.
Almost from his first appearance
in history the Jew has been subject
to persecution. In the elder years
martyrdom was the daily bread Of
his race, oppression was his appren-
ticeship to life; and still he sups
on sorrow and drinks the bitter wine
Of tears.
1t is a peculiar fact concerning
a peculiar people that hostility TO-
ward the Jews is not confined to any
time or any locality or any class; it
has existed in all ages and in every
land, manifested by men of different
races and divers religions, alike by
the crude and the cultured. 1t is dis
played even by other Semitic peoples,
notably the Arabs.
The intensity of early social pre-
JUDGE against the Jews is shown in
Genesis, xliii:32, where it is record
ed: 1.-THE Egyptians might not eat
bread with the Hebrews; for that is
an abomination unto the Egyptians"
Jews have been publicly anathema-
tiled by a numerous tribe Of anti
Semites, from Juvenal and Tactitus
down to the bitter little bigots Of
today; from Haman to Henry Ford.
The history Of the Jews is
transcedent tragedy-the Had of race
immolation. From cradle to coffin
they have been subject to persecu-
tions such as no other people ever
suffered and survived. They have
been harried and harassed and ham,
pered in every conceivable manner.
They have encountered every imped-
iment to their activities and every
obstacle to their progress. They
have endured every oppression, from
the cruel inquisitions Of individuals
to the crushing tyranny Of nations.
They have been prescribed and
plundered, exploited and imprisoned,
exiled and enslaved. For them was
created the Pale, within which they
were confined as in pinfold. They
have known all tortures and terrors;
they have been scorched by the
flames Of fanatacism and broken on
the wheel Of bigotry. They have
faced the madness Of the mob and
found relief from its barbarities in
the red mercy Of massacre. And
whyi
For the reason that these enmities
are universal, we must conclude that
such wihely distributed effects re-
suit from common causes, and that
these causes reside largely within
the Jew himself. No other race be-
ing thus marked for uniform malice,
we can account for this unique unan-
unity Of hate only on the hypothesis
that the causes thereof are Inherent
in Israel. In most cases the causes
Of race prejudice are multifarious.
Ordinarily, these causes are biologi-

any opinion herein expressed, excepting
quotations Of Jewish orIgIn.-W. H.)
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-05-13

All these factors enter into the pre-
JUDGE against the Jew; but as he
is the object Of special animosity,
we should search also for a special
cause. Let us drop a raisin of analy-
sis into the varied ingredients and
note the result.
The most common pretext for per-
secution Of the Jew is religious. It
also is the safest, being sure of very
general approval. Most persons find
it difficult to forgive those who diff
fer from their religious faith, and
they see holy justification for pun
ishing the hereto. Some centuries
ago it was charged by persons desir-
Gus Of founding new religious sect
that the Jews had slain the Christ.
This libel hardened into legend, then
was invested with a halo and became
history. Many early rulers found it
a most effective political issue. Their
successors turned it to economic ad-
vantage.
Hatred of the Jew, however, does
not depend upon the historical fiction
that he crucified Jesus. That merely
is an expedient for inflaming the
minds Of the masses whenever it is
desirable to incite them against the
Jews.
If Jews are prosecuted for relig-
ious reasons, why is it that such per-
secutions invariably take an econom-
ic trend?
Antagonist to Jews antedates the
Christian Era, and during that era
it has not been confined to Christian
nations. They have been prosecuted
with non-sectarian impartiality by
the Alexandrians, Babylonians, Per-
slams, Arabs, Turks, and many 9TH
ers. Even the colossal effrontery of
Billy Sunday might hesitate to
connect the crucifixion on Calvary
with the Babylonian captivity under
Nebuchadnezzar II, $50 B. C.
Political considerations also often
are responsible for persecution Of
the Jews. Conditions resulting from
abuses Of government are charged
against them and credited by an ig-
norant and a credulous populace,
who thereby are placated toward
their tyrant. In old Russia this was
favorite device for diverting the
spirit Of revolt from the rulers and
directing il toward the Jews.
The Jew frequently is prosecuted
because Of certain qualities Of mind
and character, but this fact, as we
shall see, should not cause him to
esteem himself less excellently.
Race enmity is not engendered by
superiority Of the enemy. Superiority
tends always toward tolerance. In
feriority invariably hates superiori-
ty. I am unwilling to admit, however
inferiority to the Jew Of the Aryan
race. Possibly my instructive race
consciousness prevents my doing so.
OF race-pride ! have none; nor have
reason for such pride more than
has my race reason to be proud Of
me. The Aryan race is what Il is
without help Of mine, so why should
I pride in its achievements More

in truth belongs to Israel, and we
hear Jesus himself reply to the
Greek woman, 1T is not meet to take
childrens bread and cast it unto the
dogs MARK, vii:27). This faith in
their predestination, in their election
developed among the Jews an i'm
mense pride. 1t led them to view the
Gentiles with contempt, often with
hate, when patriotic considerations
supervened to religious feeling"
Thus, the Jew, by his own inherit
ed attitude-a legacy so many have
not yet renounced-is in no small
measure responsible for Gentle ami
mostly. 1t scarcely could be expected
that the arrogant assumption Of the
Jews that they are the Chosen Peo-
ple-selected by Deity for special ia
vor, instead Of being set apart for
a special mission-should be relished
by other races. 1t is but natural that
victims of Divine discrimination
should discriminate against the bene-
fciaries Of such Partially.
would not have the Jew cease to
be Jew, but | would have him
cease to isolate himself.
Effects in turn become causes to
produce other effects.
Isolation is at once a cause and an
effect of race prejudice. Isoltion and
effect, by a series Of reactions, Gre
ate vicious circle; isolation engen-
ders prejudice, and prejudice gener-
ates isolation.
Gentle exclusion is a logical re-
action against Jewish exclusiveness.
In order Of objectionableness, next
to the Jew who is extensively boast
full Of his blood comes the one who
fain would conceal his racial identi-
ty. No man respects another who
fails to respect his own origin. When
one apparently is ashamed Of such
a thing, it is not strange that Others
should assume there is sufficient
cause for shame. Clandestine Jews
do more than any other class to des-
troy racial dignity, and effect more
serious damage to race repute than
does the entire horde Of Judaiphoes.
A type Of Jew, by no means rarer,
who adds to the prejudice against
his people is he who sycophantly at
fects contempt for the traditions
Of his tribe. He ostentatiously orders
pork in public refectory as II
thereby he were practicing a shining
virtue that should command the
commentator Of all Gentle observ-
ers. Now, there is no essential merit
in eating pork. Hygenically consid-
cred, Of all meats it is least fit for
human food. 1t is, Of course, quite
within the rights Of the Jew to share
the dietic sins Of the Gentle, but It
were better he should do so unob-
trusively and without obvious intent.
One major reason for prejudice
against the Jews collectively is the
fact that certain limited and least
desirable class is by the unenlighten-
ed public accepted as representative
Of the entire race. every Jew has
been made responsible for the acts Of
every other Jew" says Madison c.
Peters in Justice to the Jew" As
one anonymous Jewish writer so
we'll has stated II:
"The fault mr. follv NJ nm Jaxv In

iority of the Jew over Aryan peoples
it must be conceded that he surpasses
them in certain special qualities and
endowments, even as he is surpassed
by them in certain others. For ex-
ample, the ethics Of the Jew are su-
perior, and he excels in mental alert
ness. 1t is for these special excellen-
cies he is hated, and not for any
general race characteristics.
We find many specific instances Of
this envy-inspired hatred. For ex-
ample, Jews excel in music, which
accounts for Wagner's amarulent at
tack upon them in his Judaism in
Music"
Another prolific cause of prejudice
against the Jew is a distinctiveness
that makes the non-Jew conscious
always of their differences. His
marked unlikeness causes dislike. In
variably those who are unlike are re-
garded as inimical to the interests
of those to whom they are dissimil-
ar. The Jew makes the mistake of
perpetuating Orienalism in the Wes-
tern World.
The mental fellowship that makes
for understanding also is lacking.
Men form no liking for mysteries;
they distrust what they do not un-
derstand. Jew and non-Jew are
psychic strangers; their viewpoints
have no common focus, their modes
of thought are alien. Between their
respective intelligences is draped
veil impenetrable. The workings Of
the Oriental mind are hidden from
all the West except those few favor
ed ones to whom it is given to see
always the souls Of other men.
The Jew must emerge entirely
from the cramping chrysalis of ORR
entalism before he can enter into
the fullness of Occidental freedom.
The Jew is hated also because of
his ideals. They fail to fit into the
Gentle scheme of things, and this
prevents a complete social adjust
ment according to the Gentle meth
cd. Were these ideals wholly spirit
ual there would be no such Difficult
ty, hence no hatred. But the Jew has
an economic ideal, and all his ideals
are interviewer and they interact.
The Gentle has no economic ideal
only an economic idea. The solution
is a universal ideal idea.
Again, the Jew evidences an aloof-
ness and exclusiveness that is an I'M
spoken claim Of superiority and as
such is aperennial challenge to Gen.
tile egotism. As one writer has ex-
planned OF the jew.
"He intrenched himself behind the
fences that had been erected around
the Torah by Ezra and the first
scribes, later by the Pharisees and
the Talmudists, reformers Of prim-
tive Mosaism and enemies Of the
prophets. He isolated himself, not
merely by declining to submit to the
customs which bound together the
inhabitants Of the countries where he
settled, but also by stunning all in
tercourse with the inhabitants them
selves. To his unsociability the Jew
added exclusiveness." Again: AT the
time the serpent temped Eve, says
the Talmud, he corrupted her with
venom. Israel. on receiving the rev.

volatile and effervescing spirit Is a
quick wit and keen humor. A very
slight acquaintance with Japanese art
will reveal this quality expressed in
many forms--in designs for fabrics,

HAVE MANY HUMAN TRAITS
Scientist Who Has Studied Monkeys

corning Their Habits.

Monkeys hirt and make love. They
love to dance, and have some steps
that could he converted into modern
dances for humans. Like humans,
they are social creatures. They work
and play and rest together"
These are few Of the conclusions
reached by Professor Dofein Of Bres-
lau, who has been experimenting re-
Gently with number of monkeys and
chlmpanzees from Guinea and the
Kamerun.
He discovered that they made eSpe-
clally strong friendships. Two OF his
chimpanzees, Nan and Konsui, were
!nseparable, while the whole company
showed tendency to cling together
Tie monkeys have rhythmic
sense and respond quickly TO dance
music. They have several distinct
games Of their own, resembling chllds
play, and likewise indicate some signs
of military training, for they march
sOldlerlike.
Professor Dofein discovered. too,
that monkeys have many OF the
facial expressions and many gestures
OF humans. They can easily register
pain, surprise. admiration, tenderness,
They have language OF their own.
They are quick to warn each other OF
danger. They have regular greetings,
Their alphabet is similar to the hui
