Jacob de Haas, Secretary of the
Palestin Development Council.
brought stirring, impressive, and
thought-compelling presentation of
the real nature and Importance of the
Gutenberg Plan for Harvesting the
Jordan River in Palestine.
Perhaps the best summary of what
the Gutenberg Plan will do, in addi-
ton to providing work for thousands,
is that at one leap, Palestine will be
die and kerosene lamp into the age of
electric lighting and power.
That was a touching tribute the
Council of Jewish Women paid to the
memory of DR.. S. N. Deinard in es-
tablishing scholarship at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, in his memory.
His ardent love of education and the
interest he always manifested in the
needy student makes the scholarship
an especially appropriate memorial.
One of our contemporaries in re-
porting the marriage of New York
rabbi mentions that the lady in -ques-
ton "met her husband through at
tendance at his synagogue" Can't
tell! Judging by the rate at which the
engagement of Rabbis has been an
nounced of late, even attendance at
services may not prove effective.
Whatever may be said about the
merit of blowing ones own horn, it
surely does not apply to trumpeter
who has made good.

Arkansas Gazette" published at
Little Rock. 1t is filled with Ku KluX
Khan and Anti-Ku Klux Khan adver-
Using and it indicates just how much
difference there is between people in
the East and those in the South and
West. We don't believe that single
reputable paper in New York City for
example would crowd it's columns with
Ku Klux Klan advertising; besides the
people themselves wouldn't bother
with such nonsense. 1t is a Main
Street organization made up of men
whose minds are so small that they
have to be draped in rompers. Here
is a sample ad I find in the Arkansas
"Gazette":
"a Ku Klux Jury: A Ku Klux
Judge: And a Ku Klux Prosecutor
Would be Pretty Bad, Wouldn't 1t,
Hon. w. B. Smith? 2"
We can picture how law violator
would quail when arraigned before a
law assortment such as this.
Yes, Imperial Gazabo and Grand
Hocus-Pocus of the Realm it WOULD
BE PRETTY BAD to have MASKED
MEN trying other men who go about
in the open, live in the open, take
their part in the life of the communi-
ty in the open, vote in the open, talk
in the open and FIGHT IN THE
OPEN: yes, I say it would be very
bad to put MASKED juries, MASK
ED judges, and MASKED prose-
cutors to try such men. Another adj
vertisement signed by "Little Rock
Klan No. 1" reads: "Whom Will You
Follow, Our Protestant Ministers or
Hon. w. B. Smith, Corporation Attor-
ney? Strange isn't it, that all over
Little Rock the political contest which
ends at the polls today was discussed
Sunday night in pulpits of Protestant
churches and without exception the
reverend gentlemen let the congre-
cations know their sympathies were
with the candidates for county offices
endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan?" And
I say isn't it strange that we should
have body of men in this country
so UNAMERICAN that they are
trying to UNITE CHURCH and
STATE. I am glad to see that a
nationwide movement under the di-
rection of Bishop Fallows has gotten
under way to wipe out these Klans-
men.
I trust the editor of the Jewish
Tribune" of New York will pardon
me for smiling at his editorial on
Benny Leonard. Here is what he
says: "a modest Jewish young man
whose personal life is in keeping with
the best traditions of Israel (thus far
I have nothing to say, successfully
defended the worlds lightweight
championship title against another
young man who is also Jew; and he
DID 1T NOT BY A DISPLAY OF
FORCE, but by the exercise
of SUPERIOR INTELLECT. This is
the Jewish way, which relies not on
force or might but on the SPIRIT"
Well, we'll, I hardly think that even
Benny will agree to such eulogy.
I am of the opinion that Benny relies
on the PUNCH more than he does
on the spirit. There is no question
that the quicker thinker has an ad-
vantage over his opponent; but he
must have above all else FORCE and
MIGHT and STRENGTH when he
goes in for prize fighting.

Random Thoughts
By Charles III. Joseph.

of peasants relaxing from their strain
because harvest conditions are SO
favorable; and Russians generally are
things than food. It would be inter-
esting not to say very desirable that
some one should find out for a GER
tainty whether Nansen knows what he
is talking about. I am inclined to
think that he does.
The Rev. William T. Ellis who has
column in the Pittsburgh, Pa,
Leader" each evening writes that he
has it on the highest authorities both
Jewish and non-Jewish that as soon
as the Soviet government falls in
Russia that the greatest massacres
of Jews in all history will take place.
He speaks in tones of conviction and
says that the Armenian atrocities
will pale into insignificance alongside
this massacre. I can add to this in
formation given to me by no less an
authority than Herbert Adams Glib
bons that when the Bolshevists lose
out the Jews will be outraged in a
manner to shock the civilized world.
What can be done? And who is there
to do it?
l am in receipt of letter from a
Jew (?) in Michigan in which he is
surprised that I should criticize young
Kaplan for having denied his religion
or having made the statement that he
in no way affects Mr.. Kaplan as Jew
hn hn 0io1
fact he seems to glory in the attitude
taken by Mr.. Kaplan and takes pains
to explain that there are any number
pose there are, but they ought to pack
A Jew without religion isn't much of
a Jew; he can't be-. The only business
in which the Jew ever surpassed was
in RELIGION; that is the jews real
business. There may be some who
think that God created and preserved
the Jews for other purposes such as
socialism, but I am not persuaded of
that. I believe that Jews without re-
pie. Perhaps I am mistaken but any
way that's my belief. And again I
say that Jews of the type of Kaplan
hands of Jews or Christians and in
the long run they got none.
Economic conditions regulates the
into Palestine. 1t is re-
ported that for the month of June
only 474 Jews entered into that coun-
try whereas the average has been dur
ing recent months of some 900. This
will give our readers an idea of the
modest rate at which Palestine is be-
ing occupied by the Jews. Of course
it stands to reason that if the restora-
ton work progresses rapidly that the
increase in immigrat ton will be rapid.
However, even looking at it from the
most optimistic standpoint the num-
Der of Jews who will be able to find
a home and an economic opportunity
in Palestine for many years to come
will be comparatively small. So after
all we cannot afford to overlook any
that will assist in i'm
proving the conditions of our people
n Eastern Europe.

We deplore the untimely, tragic
ending of the life of Mr.. Morris Wolfe,
promising young student who met
his death by drowning this week near
Hibbing. Mr.. Wolfe, while at the uni
versity, was active in the Menorah
Society and in other Jewish work and,
as Manager of the Menorah Sympo-
SUM, manifested a sense of duty and
a capacity for public service that
might have made him leader among
the college-bred Jewish youth. To his
sorrowing family we extend our sim
cerest coincidence.

Valuable Gift to Library.

Through the generosity of the ladies
of the Altar Society of st. Francis de
Sales church, this city, a splendid gift
has been made to the Carnegie Ii
brary.
The gift consists of 10 volumes and
index of the Catholic Encyclopedia, an
International work of Reference on the
Constitution, Doctrine and History Of
the Catholic church.
In this work will be found the his
tory, reference and government Of all
countries as well as to artists, paint
ers and writers.
In this erudite work there is no
room for the temptation to fill up
pages with sentiment and special
pleading; the keen criticism Of the
editors under whose scrutiny each
passed, prevents misstatements, exag-
geration, one-sided points Of view, or
omissions of integral parts Of a theme.
The inquirer gets the authentic facts,
the authoritative truth.

LAMAR, COLORADO

On he oath day of May. 1886, thir-
ty-six years ago, the junior propri-
etor of the Herald, who was then
running a newspaper in Granada, the
first town established in what is now
Prowers county, stood on the town
site of the city of Lamar. and wit
messed the birth of what is now the
best town in eastern Colorado.
Grenada, which had high hopes and
aspirations, hEd reached the dignity of
a general store, newspaper, livery
stable. seven saloons and a dance hall,
before the idea of Lamar was con-
ceived by party Of Garden City
town boomers, and the land depart
ment of the Santa Fe railroad, and
naturally the idea Of a rival town
did not even cast a shadow, not
withstandilg that the Santa Fe re-
fused Granada a depot unless she
surrendered her birthright and all her
youthful charms to n grasping cor
poration, SO it was with a feeling of
snug confidence and superiority, we
journeyed to the propoced town site,
which was still government Land, and
the sage brush and cactus COW
cred ground, in contrast with the
beautiful carpet of buffalo grass on
the town site of Granada, did not
present a very pleasing appearance,
or lessen the feeling that Lamar was
u bubble that would soon burst.
The first thing that struck the eye
Of the writer was two story depot
still standing on flat cars, which the
boomers had moved from Blackwell
sometime between dark on Sunday
night and daylight on Monday morn
ing.
A little later on a special train
came in from Graden City and l. r.
Holmes, j. E. Godding, NJ. d. Par
men.er, A. C. McKeever, J. f. Frost,
and host Of lesser town builders
got off and headed by brass band
and corps of surveyors, marched
on the town site. In the twinkling
of an eye the engineers commenced to
drive stakes, n well was dug, the
depot was unloaded and the sale of
lots started, and before the sun went
down $4,000 worth Of lots were
sold, two frame buildings had been
erected and Lamar was officially
placed on the map of Colorado.
After an absence of number of
years the writer had the pleasure OF
