Jews Resent Insult
to Black Jew

The Howard Theater was the scene
of battle royal at the midnight show
on last Friday night. The participants
were all white-Jews and Gentiles-
and the battle was waged in resent
ment to insulting remarks made con-
cerning n black Jew.
David B. Kollscritta, the only Col
ored Jewish cantor in the world, was
rendering Il number on the program
when three white ruffians began to
make insulting remarks. The Jews in
the house Immediately took it up and
the fight followed. 1t lasted for about
ten minutes. Policemen came in and
quieted the melee. During all the fight
Mr.. Kollscritta continued to sing At
the conclusion, the Jews, surrounded
Mr.. Kollscritta and all left the theater
together, singing the Jewish national
anthem.
The cantor is only SO years old. He
is Il native of Abyssinia, Africa, and
is a member of a Jewish tribe there
which is called one of the lost tribes"
The members are of mixed Jewish and
African descent, their origin it is said,
going back to the days of the Queen
of Sheba and King Solomon, when a
great number of Jews were taken to
Africa. Intermarriage perpetuated the
Jewish strain and the following of the
ancient religion.
When only child, the cantor re-
solved to embark on the study of Ian
guages. He tells the story that in his
early youth he was deformed because
of u very large head and small body,

corrective force in Il more general de-
termination to improve the educational
standards of the nation and thus lift
to higher plane the character of its
citizenship. 1t may have been merely
coincidence but at least worthy of
comment that the Colorado Education
nj Association moved in perfect har-
mony with Il spirit that seems to be
gripping the nation itself. We beg to
submit the following from one of our
daily papers;
Ignorance is despotism's chief sup
port. knowledge and freedom go hand
in hand" So said President Coolidge,
in proclaiming Education Week" next
month.
One of the days of Education Week
is very properly to be given over to
the consideration of equal oppor-
tunity for all" Attention will be called
to the one-room, one-teacher rural
schools which do not give the chill
dren chances comparable with those
offered in the consolidated or city
schools.
But how about the hundreds of city
schools which are so crowded that
thousands of children are forced to get
along with "half-time" schooling? Two
cities in California report a shortage
of 2S,527 seats. over $1,000 children
are on part-time in these two commun-
tiles alone. The same thing is true
for over 1000 children in six Indiana
cities, for 2,40O children in three Iowa
cities, and for 23,2OO children in -
Texas cities of over 5000 population.
For 261 cities in the United States
there is shortage of 342, 153 seats, af-
fecting almost 100000 youngsters.

very poor man. indeed: for money is
like the ever-changing wind or the
brightest sunshine. Today we enjoy
both, but on tomorrow we may not be
able to get breath of fresh air; and
the sun may be hidden behind the
darkest clouds; through which not a
single ray of light or heat may be able
to pass. So with money it is like the
hidden sun or the fleeting winds.
We may be rich today and poor to-
morrow, but good reputation as
above expressed, if properly nursed,
will do it. 1t will be a course through
which we can acquire money when we
are in the greatest need of it.
Acquaintance, neighbors. and friends
will find pleasure in dealing with us;
for they will know that they will al
ways get their moneys worth.
Honesty is the best policy" So
let us always consider that, and be
fair and square in our business rela-
tions with our fellow men which will
build for us a good business reputation
that will be worth more to us than
money.

SIDE-LICHTS and COMMENTS ON THE
WORLDS DOINCS; CONGRESS-
OF GOVERNORS

n ORE than the ordinary amount
INh of interest was attached to the
1'A recent congress of governors in
their dual meet at Indiana and Wash
ington, owing to the prominence given
the Eighteenth amendment and Vol
stead act by governors of some eastern
states. In fact it would seem from all
the noise and hub-bub raised about
claw enforcement" at this particular
time that the Eighteenth amendment
was about the most sacred piece of
legislation ever given to people. OF
course, the attempt of some state eN-
ecutives to place the responsibility of
enforcement upon the shoulders of the
President and upon the centralized
governmental powers, is nothing more
nor less than II political subterfuge to
dodge responsibility fully their own,
and which they would insist upon as
theirs under other circumstances. The
Eighteenth amendment, with its Vol
stead appendage, is an important piece
of legislation. OF that there can be
no doubt, and President Coolidge does
well to WELD the big stick and insist
upon each sovereign state properly OBJ
serving its mandates and provisions, in
letter and in spirit. Many governors
were present, from the east, the west,
the north and the south, and all with
four exceptions) applauded the eX-
,,,.oeenI ,,ioy,-s, of tba notiOn'S pNacIItiVp
But that was the Eighteenth amend
ment. We do not believe that any
form of statistics, compiled from any
source, can prove a more flagrant yio-
lation of the Eighteenth amendment in
its short but stormy existence, than
has prevailed against the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments for many
years. This congress of governors, or
conference, which every you will, has
been an annual event for a long time
and many grave questions has come
before it during its career from recla-
nation of the arid, gopher infested
plains of Arizona to the founding of
great waterway from the st. Lawrence
to the Gulf. But never in the memory
of living man have they seriously TAX
en- up the rights American citizens as
embodied in the Fourteenth and F'if-
teenth amendments. Law enforcement
in this regard cuts but sorry figure,
and it is our opinion that the millions
of citizens who look upon the prohibi-
ton amendment as something to be
ignored. defied and even treated with
contempt, are justified to some eX-
tent. so long as other laws just as sa-
cred, just as much a part of the CON
stitution of the United States is over
ridden by whole section of the coun-
try without a protesting voice being
raised from anyone in authority.

tended by 1000 teachers. Nothing
could better establish Colorado as
desirable state in which to live than
this declared policy on the part OF
those controlling the educational fa-
ciIities and machinery of the common
wealth. Some interesting figures on
ilIiteracy were given out during the
meeting of the association, and while
showing Colorado in most favorable
light as compared to other states, still

said Bishop Carey, "but we must con-
denim the self seeker who would ride
into office by capitalizing race hate
and stop at nothing short of the de-
struction of the good name of women
and children. The Colored citizens of
Kentucky will go to the polls and
crush this Ben Tillman fire-eater, who
voted against the Dyer Anti-Lynching
Bill in the United States Congress and
speaks of Colored women as wenches
and good men as ''niggers." The Col
ored men and women will go to the
polls on Nov. and elect as Governor

and MS a result drew the derision of
members of other tribes whose tongues
he did not know. The boy determined
to learn their tongues to know what
they were saying. He added many
European and Oriental as well as an
cient classical languages to his African
list, in all 2S languages.
Mr. Kollscritta pursued his earlier
studies in Palestine and later went on
tour of the world with scientists
searching for the "lost tribes" He
travelled for five years, and states that
he has been in every civilized country.
The cantor reads and writes nine
languages; can speak fourteen fluent
ly. Here is but a part of the list:
Spanish, French, italian, German,
Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Dutch,
ancient Hebrew, Yiddish, Targon, Il

write the script Flemish, Manchu and
Chinese; also Kaffir's, Malay, Zulu,
Zambesi and Hottentot, all African
tongues, as we'll as Boer, which is SINH
lar to Dutch.
Kollscritta declares that the most
difficult language he had to learn was
English. "It has so many letters that
say nothing" was his way of express
ing his difficulty. During the war
Kollscrltta was eleven months in
France There he became acquainted
with Chinese cook who knew Eng

SPORTSMANSHIP

A team of finished athletes came to
Denver last week from st. Louis, Mo.
They were colored baseball players and
heralded as an aggregation of All
Stars. In their two days appearance
upon the local diamond they proved
worthy of their glittering title. They
were well received by the public and
drew large crowd to the ball park.
This is the second professional ball
team of colored players to come to
Denver within the past two years. In
each instance they proved strong draw
ing cards and proved their superiority
over their opponents. Let us explain
that in each instance their opponents
were selected from the best white play
ers obtainable in these parts. SO far
as we have been able to learn both of
the colored teams were accorded royal
treatment and the finest spirit of
This, however, is in strange contrast
with the treatment accorded semi
pro team right here in Denver, repre-
sentative of the colored race. The
White Elephants are just as clean in
their playing tactics, as gentlemanly in
their department, as any baseball team
in the country. They are a fast set
of artists and when given the proper
chance, prove great drawing card.
For several years in succession they
won the championship in the city
The Colorado statesman., 1923-10-27

league to which they were assigned
and this proved their undoing. Now
as each season opens, they are skill
fully maneuvered out of the city
leagues and given no chance to show
their worth and ability even on the
corner lots from whence sprang their
fame some years ago. Since the st.
Louis All-Stars have left such splen-
did taste in the mouth and since the
baseball fans are enthusiastic over the
ability of colored artists, would it not
be worth an effort to once more get
our own crack ball team in the city
league again. True sportsmanship
could not deny it.
