The American Jewish world., 1922-09-29

rapid growth OF our city lite and
the increasing demands upon us
by society have produced in us
that restless hunger for wealth
which leaves little room for the
thought of others. In the hurry
and hustle of Our everyday life
we rush by each other without
at times even noticing each 9TH
er. All our thoughts are concen-
trated upon ourselves. The needs
of others touch us not, their woes
move us not and we, children of
the same Father in heaven, re-
main strangers to all but a few
of the vast number of kindred Of
ours.
Isolated from the rest of the
great human family, it is only
when some visible calamity, like
the gigantic struggle of the pres
ent time, breaks the silent barrier
between man and man that the
relationship is felt and acknowl-
edged. Even within Our circle of
intimacy, the self rules in great
measure even the best of us. In
Our busy and excited lives we are
continually jost1ing against each
other. Our own interests conflict,
or seem to conflict, with those of
others. The things we do in the
earnest pressing of our own busi-
ness and Our own plans seem at
times to interfere with the inter-
ests of others. In the heat of
emulation and the warmth of self
interest, we are apt to do things
which injure others. In our clos
est personal contact, in society
and in business relations, we are
constantly liable to give pain
or offense to others. We often
times grieve even Our nearest and
dearest. Yet our manifold little
injustices, wrongs, expressions,
Sights and grievances remain un-
needed for lack of time and
leisure.
The Yom Kippur, therefore,
comes as a splendid opportunity
for making reparation. 1t is cal
culated to break the barrier be-
tween man and man and to bring
us closer together. The setting
and atmosphere are splendidly
adapted for the task. For period
of twenty-four hours our every
day business and occupations are
put aside and we are translated
from the hurly-burly of the work
days into the realm of leisure and
rest and contemplation. We as
semb1e in Our synagogues with
singleness of purpose and unity
of spirit, with NO c1ashing Of in
terests,, with no diversity of plans.
Our prayers, our hopes and our
expectations all betoken the same
child-like trust in our God and

That was a fine editorial in the
Minneapolis Journal of Monday,
September 18th, entitled, MAX
ing the Jew the Goat; but to-
wards the very end, as if to leave
a taste in the mouth of the Jewish
readers, the editor writes: "And
he (the Jew is for justice, order,
law peace, development - the
worthwhile Jew, not the social
istic poor sort we have been inn
porting too numerously." We
doubt whether statistics would
bear out this last statement. It
is probably due to the tendency
on the part of the Journal, of late,
to take a fling at the immigrant
on every possible occasion,-a
tendency which, in this case, has
helped spoil an otherwise fine
editorial. t

The State Legislature

The governors budget, copy of
which was sent the Reveille by Sen
ator Barrett. shows that every de-
partment of the state is asking for
more money. The East Mississippi
Insane asylum report appears at the
beginning of the budget, and in ad-
dition to an increase of S14 900 for
maintenance for the next two years,
S250.0 900 are asked for general inn
provement. The Tuberculosis SAN
itorium asks for an increase of
S150,000. The A & NJ. college wants
an additional sum Of SAL 900.
There are other small items like
these. but the above indicates what
the Legislators will be up against at
their present session.
We sincerely hope that there will
he no additional appropriations.
We see no hope for decrease in
the state levy at this time. but an
increase can be prevented, and in
time-at some future session-our
lawmakers may be able to lower
the levy.-Port Gibson Reveille.

Watch Your Step

For the information of the adver-

duces the following from the Pub

Exchanges coming to The Auxil-
iary desk from week to week reveal
an astonishing ignorance or disre-
gard of postal regulations on the
part of newspaper publishers and
indicate that postmasters. also. are
not familiar with the classes OF un-
mailable matter as defined in the
Postal Laws and Regulations.
1t seems that news concerning

serious consequences.

Taxation

We clip the following dispatch
with a Jackson date-line showing
the effort being made now to up
hold the salaries of the state Off
cials:
The proposed fight for reduction
of salaries of state officers seems to
have been abandoned since it be-
came generally understood among
the taxpayers of the state that the
cause of the high taxes is local and
not state matter. While it is true
that the last legislature raised the
state tax levy from six mills to nine,
1t is pointed out that the local,
county and municipal taxation is
from four to five times this amount,
and that state taxes go to pay for
education and pensions in the main.
AS a matter of fact, it is shown that
many of the counties of the state
get back in school and pension dis
tributions more money than they
pay into the state treasury for taxes.
1t is also demonstrated that the
state departments are more than
self sustaining, actually collecting
more money than they take from
the treasury.
That old story that the state
departments are more than self
sustaining" sounds pretty we'll on
paper. but when analyzed to the
bottom it will be shown that the
people pay it all, after all; and why
try to gull the ignorant into believ-
ing that the money paid to the state
officials comes from some unknown
source to that of the people of Mis-
sissippi? Again, if some poor coun-
ties do get back more money than
they pay into the state, are not
these counties paying in proportion
to what they have? And does not
this forty or fifty thousand dollars
come back to only a few people of
these poor counties? And. lastly.
how do these state officials compro-
mise the fact that the states ex-
penses today are more than nine
teen million dollars asagainst about
half that just a few years ago? Is
not this rather sudden double up?
And will not everyone admit that it
is right to shave little all along
the line since the great increase in
the value of the dollar Winston

LESPEDEzA is BEST FRIEND
OF SOUTHERN FARMER

Lespedeza is the farmers best
friend" says DR.. A. B Young oil
Zachary, La. a successful Louisi-
ana farmer. DR.. Young admits that
this is a pretty broad assertion. but
says its truth is easily proved.
Like other clovers and legumes. "
continues DR.. Young. "lespedeza
reaches out and takes nitrogen from
the air. stores it up in the nodules
at the roots, and leaves the soil
much better for its having been
there. 1t is more easily and more
quickly cured than any other hay,
testing out higher food value and
giving a better balanced ration than
any, not excepting alfalfa, and can
be fed indefinitely without irrita-
ton to the kidneys, as is the case
with alfalfa. 1t will not salivate nor
bloat any animal whatever. as do
other clovers, Stock prefer it to
any other pasturage and they wax
tat upon it.
DIR. Young thinks that no farmer
who plants oats should ever fail to
SOW lespedeza on his oat land from
March until June, as this crop will
always restore much of the nitrogen
taken up by the growing oats and
will afford an excellent pasturage
after the oat crop has been taken
off, or it will yield from a half to
four tons of hay, according to the
fertility of the soil. without any ex-
ira cost except the topping of the
weeds and the harvesting of the
crop.
Many will say that lespedeza will
yield better on poor land than on
rich. but DR.. Young does not find
this to be the case; be does find.
however, that poor lands planted to
this crop soon become very rich in
nitrogen. Rich lands have been
known to yield four tons of choice
hay per acre. while poor lands the
first year may not yield more than
a half ton.
A good crop u lespedeza hay viii
permit farmer to turn much of his
corn or oats into money, says DR..
Young, because by selling the oats
or corn he can spend little of that
money for blackstrap molasses to
pour over the hay to supply all the
carbohydrates needed, and a little
more of the money for cotton-seed
meal, which will regulate the pro-
tein element. This combination
makes the best-balanced ration, as
we'll as the cheapest that can be
found. The fine hay produced by
the farmer supplies all the rough
age and a good percentage of carbo-
hydrates and protein, while the cot
ton-seed meal and molasses can
regulate the last two elements at
will. - One pound of cotton-seed
meal is equivalent to three pounds
of grain in protein content, and mo-
lasses is almost wholly carbohy-
drates.
DR.. Young says that at least 25
pounds of lespedeza seed should be
planted On an acre. if the best re-
suits are to be obtained Any farm

pedeza seed correctly. can obtain
all necessary data. absolutely free,

HARD WORK AHEAD FOR
REPUBLICAN ORATORS

Announcement comes from Washington that
President Harding will not take personal part
in the fall campaign, but that every member
of his cabinet, except Secretary Mellon and
Postmaster General Work, will take the stump.
Several members of the cabinet already out
on the hustings using their utmost efforts to
stem the tide of disapproval over the admin
istration's sins Of omission and commission.
Many things they may be able to explain
satisfactorily to former supporters, but there is
one daily chronicle that will give them more
and more trouble as the days pass. This
chronicle is the market page Of the news
papers. As the prices for the necessities Of n.y.
ing continue to rise the voters will have
brought home to them in the most effective
way the benefits" Of the Fordney- Nc Cumber
tariff bill. Scarcely had the Presidents sig
nature been affixed when the price of sugar
took jump. Within a day or two came an
nouncement from the American Wooden COM
pany that the price of wool fabrics would have
to be advanced. The same story will be found
all along the line, for the experts have shown
that the new tariff bill goes further in the
matter of protection than anything even
dreamed of back in the days of Aldrich.
While the price of SO many necessary COM
modities was expected to advance a result
of the bills provisions, it felt by the bills
supporters that the farmer would have to pay
these increased prices and accordingly for the
first time the farmer was given a sort of sop
when some of his products were also placed
upon the protected list. But the farmers are
now finding that they have been imposed upon,
for the protection given them comes nowhere
near offsetting the increased prices they have
to pay for nearly everything they use.
Taken altogether the best minds of the cabi-
net are going to have some hard Shedding.
When they get out among the people they are
going to hear far different story from that
which has been poured into their ears by the
lobbyists and others who have been making
Washington headquarters during the past few
month";

ABLE MEN APPOINTED ON
COAL. COMMISSION

The personnel of the coal commission, APP
pointed by President Harding to investigate
conditions in the coal industry and make sug-
gestions for legislation that will prevent peri
odic strikes, augurs well for its success.
No more competent man could be found to
head the commission that John Hays Ham,
mond, perhaps the greatest mining engineer IN
the world. The other members are dstin-
puished men of affairs who may be expected
to solve most Of the problems presented by
the coal industry. They are former Vice Pres
ident Marshall, Judge Samuel Alschuler of
Chicago, Clark Howell, editor of the Atlancs
Constitutions; George Otis Smith, director of
the United States geological survey; DR.. Ed
ward 7. Devine of New York and Charles r.
Neil, manager Of the bureau of information
Of the southeastern railways.
They represent varied interests and will
study the coal industry from all its MANY
angles. The act Of Congress which authorized
their appointment was the result Of the last
coal strike when It became evident that thu
American people could no longer submit to
frequent disturbances in the coal fields which
threatened nationwide suffering and paralysis
Of national industry. Something had to De
done to provide an adequate supply of fuel
the year around, with no danger of the supply
being cut off by strikes.
It will be the duty Of the coal commission
to discover what is wrong and its findings
should prove the basis for remedial legislation,
stabilize the production Of coal, assure a rea-
sonable price for this commodity and living
wage for the miner.

MOSQUITO CONTROL NEEDED

81 have just completed a survey of the mos
quito situation in south Alabama" said E. B.
Johnson, maarial control engineer of the
state department of health, who is aiding in
the mosquito survey of jefferson county.
81 find that the somewhat novel malady
dengue, or backbone fever, is confined en-
tirey to those sections where no mosquito con-
troll exists. The situation here is rather typical
Of what find in other counties where there is
no mosquito control, except that I should say
the epidemic of fever here is milder.
"Brewton is one Of the best towns in the
state in the matter of mosquito CONTROL and
there is total lack of dengue there. Tuskegee
is probably the hardest hit of any town the
state by the epidemic. The counties of Mo
bile, Montgomery, Pike, Houston, Geneva and
Escambia counties all doing fairly effective
mosquito control work."
