"NONE so BLIND AS THOSE WHO
WON'T SEE"

Representative Clark of Florida,
speaking before the House census
committee, denounced the National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People as an organization
composed of 'tMeddling, fussing'' per.
sons who "are working on IGNORANT
Negroes of the South to keep them
selves in good positions" Mr.. Clark
needs a lot of information about the
N. A. A. c.. P. which he seems not to
have, and his denunciation certainly
shows his ignorance and color preju-
dice another evidence of ignorance.
Mr.. Clark is, however, wise enough
to see that if the object sought by the
N. A.; A. c. P. in it's contention before
the committee is obtained, his chances
for polishing the seat Of his pants on
seat in Congress will be mighty un-
sartin. Hence his objection.

The general Of an army should
know full well all the difficulties that
confront him, but the less he says
about them the better. Knowing and
talking are two different things. IL
is said that Won Moltke was once
asked to what he attributed the sue
cess of the Duke of Wellington as a
great general His answer was that
he attributed it to the fact that he
could hold his ongue in seven differ
emit languages. If we can hold our
tongues in even one language, it will
help a whole lot

WOULD "coNvERT" THE JEWS.

>
, Some members of the Episcopal
board Of missions favor the raising of
fund of $1,OO0,O0O for the purpose
of converting the Jews, because they
are losing faith in Judaism and be.
coming atheistic. H.
This move brought quick retort
from many of the rabbis, three OF
whom we quote:
ATTEMPTS to Convert. the Jew
have never been successful said
Rabbi Joseph Stolz of Isaiah Temple,
land the thronged synagogues refute
the charge that the American Jew
is straying from his faith"
Rabbi Stolz said that reports that
the Episcopal Church might be in.
duced to appropriate large sums for
Christianizing the Jew were too ri
diculous to discuss
Rabbi Abraham Hirschberg of TEN
pie Sholom declared that Judaism
was stronger than it had ever been
and that the American Jew was one
of it's greatest factors. ~ ...s...
In Europe they have had for hun
dreds of years, a great way of ICON
verting' the Jews by surrounding the
ghettos and numbering men, women
and children. In Hungary, recently,
hundreds of Jews have protested
Christianity to save the lives of them
selves and families, but all Of the GER
tificates of baptism were overprinted
in red, mot good in case Of pogroms
(massacres)." ~ -
The Jews of the United States will
not rush to Christianity because they
know that American Christians would
then segregate them and compel them
to ride in jim-crow cars and lynch
them just as they have their colored
brethren.

SCANDAL.

Did you ever notice that stalk
doesn't hurt q man? Perfection isn't
looked for in man, and when some
one tries to injure man by ranting
about a few faults he has, the absent
one who is probably attending to his
own affairs, is elevated in the hear
er's estimation, while the informant
is lowered accordingly. IF man
knocks along doing fairly well, peo-
pie realize that while he has some
faults, he has more virtues, and they
are charitable enough to overlook
these faults. But it is difficult with
q girl or woman No matter how
good and pure a woman may be, let
someone start an Infamous lie about
her and too many people are willing
to pass it along, and there is always
some one to believe it. That lie can
never be lived down. It may burn
low, but gossip loving lips are ready
with new fuel Did you ever think
how damnably mean some goody-
goody people are il this respect?

The increase in burglary can be ac-
counted for by men trying to break
