The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-05-20


articles would base his charge against
the Jews Of seeking world power.
II 1t be true that the international
bankers and capitalists are Jews
alone; if it be true that they WELD
world power to control govern
ments and ntaions and wars and peace
and economic law, can the author Of
these articles in the Dearborn Inde-
pendent explain why it is that now
more than half the 100000 Jews in
the world are still suffering not only
persecution and oppression, but the
bitterest perjury and starvation? Why
is it that If this omnipotence belongs
to the Jews, half Of them are in the
direst misery? One needs to cite no
specific facts to refute the preposter-
Gus assumptions Of this learned writ
er in the Dearborn Independent be-
cause the general facts which refute
his every statement can be seen by a
wayfaring man, though a fool.
The author Of the articles refers to
Germany as a place where the Jewish
question so-called, has been promin-
ent, and in which the danger from
the Jews and their activities has
been demonstrated. The arguments Of
the anti-Semitic party are, of course,
rehearsed, and the prominence Of the
individual Jews in the government
which succeeded the Empire is point
ed out and made the basis for the as
sumption that these Jews are engag-
cd in promoting the power Of all Jews
and lending themselves to this ulti-
mate Jewish despotism. The author, Of
course, does not stop to note how nat
ural il is for Jews to be prominent in
the new popular government Of Ger
many. The bitter anti-Semitism in
Germany had driven the great body Of
Jews into the opposition to the gov
eminent, into socialism Of the various
phases Of which Germany is full. The
Jew is naturally quick and able and
political and his leadership is accept
ed by the less intelligent and less
constructive members Of his party,
and therefore il is not surprising that
among the leaders Of these parties
are Jews. They appear in support Of
their party as might be expected and
show no common Jewish purpose but
only the individual aims and natural
leadership that acute intelligence and
practical knowledge would give.
On the whole, therefore. there Is
nothing in the assertions by the auth
or Of these articles in respect to the
Jews that contain any facts justify
ing an inference beyond the natural
and commendable desire Of Jews 10
get on in the world, to acquire money
and comfort and education for their
children and standing and influence
in the community. Thus the case Of
the author Of these articles fails here.
Even IL there were a secret council Of
Jews planning to use the accumulated
influence and wealth and power Of
the Jews to conquer the world and to
establish an Israelitish absolutism
under a Jewish sovereign, he has
showa no such power in the Jews now
or in the future which could accomp-
plish such a task, or any likelihood
that the Jews Of the civilized countries
of the world would for one moment
join in such a conspiracy.
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-05-20

he only makes assertions and as if to
anticipate demonstration that Gen.
tiles control the industry by reference
to the names of directors, he makes
reply that it is common thing for
Jews to use Gentiles in the manage
ment of their business to present a
Gentle 'front.'" as he calls il. He is
thus determined to put the Jew in
control whether he seems to be there
or not. The assertion that the Jew,
with his will to power and the love of
displaying it, which he attributes to
him, should hide his light under a
bushel in this way is only one Of con-
slant Inconsistencies with which the
earnest, careful reader is confronted
in this issue Of broad and unsupport-
ed congratulations.
The author of these articles refers
to the fact that the Jews in this coun-
try have increased in number within
the last forty years from less than
100000 to now 100000 or 5000, 900.
That this presents some question by
reason Of their concentrating in the
City Of New York, and their indispo-
to go to the farm and to the smaller
towns, need not be disputed; but it is
also true that they present far less
difficulty in the matter of taking
care of themselves and in becoming a
charge upon the community than 9TH
er immigrants. The fact is that they
were driven here by the outrages COM
mitted upon them in Russia, in Poland
and in Roumania, and one Of the reas-
ons why John Hay urged that the
United States had the right to inter-
est itself in the treatment Of these
poor people by those heartless gov
ernments was that they drove them
to the United States as a refuge and
increased the burden Of the United
States in caring for them. They are
gradually through the agency of our
public schools and through the equal
opportunity that this country offers,
fitting themselves to better and bet
ter citizenship, and in the small per-
centage they represent of our entire
population they need give no cause
for concern such as the author Of
these articles would like to arouse.
The next basis for the premise is
that the Jews control the world thru
the press. What does this mean?
Does it mean that the Jews own all
the newspapers Of wide circulation
and influence? The author mentions
three newspapers in Germany which
are owned by Jews. Does that control
Europe or even Germany? He could
not mention many more than that
owned by Jews in the United States.
What then, does he mean? He says
that through fear Of Jewish power to
give and withhold advertising, the
press is muzzled as to the Jews. Here
we come to a broad distinction by ut
terly and unjustly ignoring which, the
author seeks grossly to exaggerate
the power and effort of the Jews to
secure affirmative control Of affairs,
by confusing it with their power and
effort to protect their people against
abuse of their rights. They naturally
resent insult, contumely heaped upon
Jews because they are Jews, and
they are fully justified in seeking in
every lawful way to prevent its recur-

from one nation to another is not the
result Of the will of one banker or
another. 1t is the calculation of profit
on the particular transaction that
prompts it and the profit depends on
the extent Of the demand for it in one
country as compared with that in an
other. The difference in the demand
for gold in one country and that in
another is due to the internal bust
ness conditions in each country as
compared with those in another. The
money or gold in the current of ex-
change does not represent 1.-THE Of
the capital and wealth in use in each
country. The wealth of the country
Is not in its money, or its gold; it is in
It's farms, its factories, its mines, and
the its products it is capable Of bring
ing to market and sal. All the gold
in the world it but a small fraction Of
the wealth Of the world, and very
large part of that is not in the hands
Of international bankers, but is in the
treasures Of governments or under
their control. Never so little as now
would arbitrary control of interna-
tional exchanges even If it could exist,
as it does not, carry with it, the con-
troll Of the business and political at
fairs of the world. Was It information
al bankers who had sent the British
pound sterling to discount Of 33 1-3
as compared with our dollar? Was
It international bankers who have
sent the German mark from a par Of
twenty-five cents to an exchange val
ue Of cent and half? Was it not
economic law which brought this
about? Resistance by any banker or
set of bankers, however powerful, to
such an inevitable result Of economic
conditions would break them.
The writer Of these articles further
seeks to bolster his premise that Jews
are the world controllers Of finance
and so Of politics, by describing their
business successes in the United
States. That the Jews are successful
merchants and bankers is Of cousre
true. That they are keen in business
with excellent judgment. and with
never ending patience and application
everyone knows. In proportion to
their number, their business success
Is noteworthy. The same is true Of
them in the professions and in every
field into which their tastes and adap-
liability may take them. That they are
friendly to one another in business
as In other relations is also true, and
why should they not be? The bond Of
q common suffering in their history,
and an ever-threatening hostile pre-
JUDGE is likely to produce such feel.
ing. But II Is not true that they do
not compete with each other They
are too much business men for this.
II Is said they are ambitious and have
the will to power and that that has
led them TO the prime moves in the
great trusts Of the country. This is
not true. There are Jews in the trusts
as are other keen business men, but
II will be found that those who led
the way were Gentiles. There are
branches Of business in which they
are numerous and influential, and the
history Of these would disclose what
has often been the purely arbitrary
circumstances which attracted them.

ring up anti-Semitism. If so, am
glad of the restraint. The same thing
is true in respect to the venting Of
prejudices against other members Of
our community, and it should be a
source Of satisfaction raher than
complaint. But it is said our Jews
control our politics by their solidarity.
This is not true. They are Republicans
and Democrats and they contend as
vigorously for their respective par
ties as other citizens. In a case where
a wrong against Jews in any part Of
the world needs righting, the broad
sympathy Of the American people can
be easily aroused and this Jews have
done. They it was who secured so wide
a public demand for the abrogation Of
the treaty with Russia. They it was
with their brethren in Europe, who
have succeeded in securing a provis-
ion in the Treaty Of Versailles pres
cribing the equality Of right to be Sc
cured to Jews in Poland. This is cited
by the editor of the Dearborn indie
pendent as a vicious instance Of jew
ish world control. Why should not
these nations at Versailles, when
they were delivering to the Poles a
freedom won by the sacrifice Of mil
lions Of lives and mountains Of treas
ure, exact from them a pledge that
the Jews should be free from oppres-
sion and be given an equal opportun-
ity to give their children education
and to pursue their own livelihood
and happiness? Nor is the criticism
such that the provision was humiliat-
ing to Poland in its specific provis-
ions and in the reservation in the
treaty that the Great Powers may
enforce it. The experience Of the
Congress Of Berlin with the solemn
guaranty Of Roumania on this sub
ject and her breach Of faith are still
fresh in our minds. The abuses to
which the Jews had been subjected
in Poland gave good ground for addi-
tional safeguards. This is not n seek
ing Of affirmative control Of affairs
by Jews. II is only another instance
of an effort Of the Jews to protect
those Of their own race against fur
Their outrageous persecution; and we
wish all civilization should aid them.
cannot too often refer to the SYM
pathy which one jew has for another
in distress, especially when it arises
from racial hatred or prejudice. 1t is
a trait which, instead Of being made
a ground for attack upon the Jews,
should commend them highly to their
fellow man. II is not inconsistent
with their duty to their fellow man.
The author Of the articles continual
ly refers to the Jewish question. The
Jewish question is not one calling for
protection against the Jews as the
writer Of the Dearborn Independent
articles would make it.
The real and great Jewish question
is how more than half these Jewish
people should be rescued from out
rage, massacre and all sorts Of in
justice, as well as penury and star
walton brought about by government
discrimination and prompted by Bit
ter race prejudice. This question has
aroused Jews the world over and they
have nobly responded. 1t has led to
great organizations which have been

ship Of West Point in that county a
$4,000 obligation. This is the amount
$4,000, which Dane county escaped
by the narrow margin of 13 feet.
The total cost of the bridge with its
approaches is some 100000. The act
uaI contract for construction was
about $1S5,000 The village of Prairie
|du Sac pays $25,00O, West Point $685.
900, Sauk and Columbia counties $685.
900 each and the state $50,000. All
these proportions are specified in the
law governing the construction OF
bridges 500 feet or over in length.
Litigation ensued over the bridge,
Columbia county being the protestant.
The law has to do with bridges lying
in one or two counties, and Columbia
county raised a ruction, claiming that
this bridge was really in three coun-
ties, but the supreme court ruled
the question that an interior pier has
nothing to do with the political loca-
tion Of bridge, that question de-
pending wholly on the points of con-
tact with the main land at both ends.
On bridges of this character the
state stands one third Of the expense,
the contiguous counties one-third
and the immediate townships or mu-
nicipalties the other third. When the
agitation for this bridge first started
some six or eight years ago, it's cost
was carefully estimated to be $72,-
900, but the war came on, prices as
cended and the funds appropriated
were not sufficient to carry out the
project. The whole matter then had
to be gone over again as to the neces-
sity of the bridge, its location, and
it's estimated cost. 1t has been a te-
dious proceeding both in the courts
and in the legislature, but the essen
tial fact remains that the bridge is
now an actuality, and it is not sur
prising that Prairie du Sac and the
region roundabout are to celebrate
Saturday a coveted consumption
long delayed.
Senator George Staudenmayer, rep
resenting the Columbia -Sauk district,
is author of the law under which
there communities get bridge, which
could not have been secured except
through the liberal state aid specified
in the statute.

receive $500 per foot where an 8
inch casing is used and $3.50 foot

Harry Getchman, North Freedom,
Dies in Local Hospital Friday
Afternoon

Shortly after three o'clock yes

a truck driver on the county roads
Mr.. Getchman had taken one load
to the new road near Fairfield and
ON the return trip to the gravel pit
his car was noticed, between Broad
way and Birch to go from side to
side and later TO stop. J. III. Kramer
went to see what was the matter and
the driver asked him to crank his car.
Mr.. Kramer noticed that Mr.. Getch.
man was sick and laid him under a
tree. A physician was called and when

conscious. The patient was then ta-
ken to the Baraboo hospital where he

is locatde in Dane county, but on the
north side of the river it touches
Sank county, while the approach on
the other is through Columbia county,
and by decision Of the supreme
