SEEK TO ABOLISH
CLASS DISCOUNTS
Trade Body Heads Believe
System Works Hardships
on the Public.

Plans for abolishing class discounts
or special buying privileges will be
considered at a. meeting of the board
of governors of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association Tuesday
morning. according to Charles j.
Columbus. secretary of the organiza-
tion.
Fair dealing to all customers is
a fundamental principle of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
tion and It's membership. Years ago
the. association went on record as
unlterably opposed to all special buy
ing privileges. no matter in what
guise they might appear.
1T is the conviction of the associ-
class of customers is to create an un-
privileged trade clientele, which con-
stitutes a manifestly unfair trade
practice on the part of the business
firm that gives such a gratuity.
Nor can it be fairly said that Il
class discount is a gratuity on the
part of the business firm. The class
discount must be paid for somewhere.
somehow. And the only way possible
is to distribute tho cost of the dis
count among the less favored Gus
toners of the firm that would make
such an allowance.
Association will. therefore, institute
a campaign against class discounts"
The meeting of the board of gov
ernors will also be marked by re-
ports of committees bearing on other
trade problems.

on a certain holiday, when fish
was very difficult to procure.
Pinchus came to my fathers
home to share a fish that he had
luckily obtained. At that time
the modern idea of Zionism had
not yet become known, but many
were the tears that Pinchus

Death came to Pinchus Batnik
as he wished, just as Sara Bern
hardt wished to die while por-
traying a death scene. Pinchus
desired that death should come
to him while serving his God and
so it happened that his wish was
fulfilled. 1t was during the holi-
day of the Tabernacles (Sukes)
and according to the Jewish law,
every Jew sleeps in a "suke" pro-

n IAN is the most stub
JNH born of all animals.
AvA Compared with hu-
man fanatic, the mule is most
docile and tractable creature.
The fury of a wild beast cannot
be compared with the terror of a
mans delusion.
If thoughts could kill, we
would all be murderers. The
realization of this weakness
should make US more careful and
cause us to put forth the maxi
mum effort to control our pas
sions. Anything that will en-
danger the little self control we
have is a grave menace to our
very existence.
Instead of trying to curb more
and more our uncontrolled in
stincts we are tolerating the ex-
istence of a secret organization
the sole purpose of which is to
create distrust and to cast sus-
picion upon our fellow citizens
for no other reason than that
they are of a different religious
belief or of different race.
Most people, have no thoughts
of their own. They have only a
short vision and, as they can on
ly reflect the opinien of others,
they should exercise at least a
tolerance for things they are un-
able to understand. Mere diff
ferences of opinion, no matter
how great the cleavage, should
never result iais SHimpsitiea Snd
hatred.
Our intent should never be to
change the direction of the peo-
pie but to lead them to higher
aims on the very paths they are
now travelling. We should not
attempt the impossible. We can
not change a rose into carna-
tion nor can we make an onion
into q sunflower. But we can
make each flourish more luxur-
iantly.
1t is not for us to make a man
change his belief but to help him
toybe a better citizen thru his re
ligion. We like to believe the
world has become more tolerant
and less cruel but just when we
are deluding ourselves with this
comfortable idea we are awaken
ed from our utopian dream by
something like that Auditorium
mass meeting last Wednesday
night And whether we want to
believe it or not, we are forced
to the realization that we are
not SO far removed from the ear
ly days when the Christians
were forced to seek refuge in the
catacombs of Rome and to per-
form their religious rites steal
thily and secretly.
Their very willingness to die
meekly without taking up arms
against their tormentors stamp
ed them as dangerous and of evil
mind. Public opinion held them
responsible for the burning of
the capital and every minor mis-
fortune which happened to an in
dividual was traced to their
strange behavior. Unchristian
Rome could not understand the
Christians.
And now we find similar lack
of understanding and lack of
tolerance among some who pro-
fess to be Christians. The days
in which Rome observed an open
season on Christians seem to
have returned. The spirit of the
intolerant Romans has been re-
incarnated in some of our con-
temporaries.

They wear the toga. They
fling the firebrands to set afame
the living human torches which
they have tied to the stake. And,
we are told, some of the most
respected and honorable OF our
citizenship have been engulfed
in this wave Of delusion to the
degree that they believe it neces-
sary to emulate the thief and the
assassin to save our country
from destruction.
Like the Nero of ancient
Rome, they have sent out their
masked assassins to set whole
communities on fire and to justi-
fly their crime with an inherent
prejudice. There is nothing
easier than for a number of peo-
pie to unite to cast suspicion up
on any one person or class. No
matter how high and lofty and
noble the character Of the at
tackled, an unthinking world is
ever ready to believe in the
calumny of others and to loose
the thoughts which destroy.
We have been sowing the
dragons teeth of hatred during
the last several years. We are
now reaping the harvest. And
the whirlwind which we have
created is dealing death and des-
truction under the guise of pa
triotism and true Americanism.
Even our own city government
was ready to lend its assistance
for a demQnstration in the peo-
ples auditorium BY the Kh Klux
Klan last Wednesday evening.
Not even one unknown mem-
ber of this secret organization
was willing to introduce at this
meeting a paid minion nor were
the rest Of them willing to iden-
tify themselves openly with a
cause of which they were
ashamed to be connected with
publicly. ~ :
Such an occurrence as that
last Wednesday evening is a bad
beginning for our city admin
istration and cannot help but
cast distrust and suspicion upon
it.
If the honor Of our city was
saved by the suppression of this
meeting at the eleventh hour,
as the result of an expression of
hostile public opinion, it is no
particular credit to the admin
istration.
Opposition to the meeting was
voiced openly and publicly. There
was no doubt as to the identity
of the opponents of the Ku Kux
Klan and if the Klan still be-
lieves it has a righteous cause,
it is no more than fair to ask its
members, to lay aside their
masks and mystery and come out
in the open.
Community Herald stands
ready to receive and to print any
article the Klan may be able to
submit in justification of its ex-
istence or its aims. And so will
any other publication in Denver.
If the purpose Of this secret So
ciety is to enlighten the public,
the Denver press has a far great
er number of readers than the
capacity of the auditorium.
All these publications believe
in free speech and in a free press.
And there is no justification in
America for secretive conspir-
acies which will create dissention
and hatred among our people.

years ago in small
towns throughout Poland. He
derived the name, Pinchus Bat
mix, from the fact that he would
sell sbatim," or necessary parts
of "tvilen." Living in a small
town his business required that
he travel throughout the. larger
towns to sell his "batim," when
he would return home he would
be met by all the Chassidim.
They were assured that when
Pinchus Batnik was at home,
they would have a happy cele-
bration. The most pleasant
evening for celebrating his home
coming was Saturday night, for
then they would be invited to his
home, and Rochile, his wife,
would prepare for this event to a
big extent. (Mlave Malke). The
happiness and contentment of
his devoted wife, Rochile, is be-
yond expression. When he was
gone, she was full of fear for
him, not because of jealousy,
Pinchus surely was not a mod
ern travelling salesman, but be-
cause she worried about his well
fare, his food and lodging.
Never shall I forget the oc-
casion when my father took me
to the ''Mlaye Make" I was

to be a sort of banquet, with
much to eat and drink, and I re-
member that all day l tasted to
prepare myself for this big meal.
Much to my dismay and disap-
poihtment, ! found a small gath
ering of Chassidim, seated
around the table, an extra can
die to the lamp on the table,
(nair Hamosiv) and very little
food. A small portion of gehlte
fish, left over from Friday
nights meal on the table, a few
slices Of bread, just enough to
enable them to say the prayer
of ''Hamaitze," and a small bot
tie of brandy. I could not COM
prehend how the Chassidim
could enjoy so heartily the
scanty meal that was just
enough for one person. But it
was not the food they so much
enjoyed. They ate and drank
the words of 'Pinchus, who told
them Torah, and also tales Of his
travels. They were interesting
stories, stories of the hardships
that their fellow Jews in other
big towns endured and how diff
ficult it was for them to observe
the Jewish religion. And in the
face of Pinchus Batnik was re-
fiected the sorrows of all the
Jewish people. But at the same
time he felt joy that the Jewish
people could love their God to
such an extent, that they would
sacrifice all to follow their re-
ligion.
Pinchus Batnik was not a man
who feared God but loved God
and believed that no harm or
evil would come to him while the
Holy words Of the psalm were on
his lips, "Yea, though / walk
through the valley of the shadow
of death, / will fear no evil, for
thou art with me-" He could be
seen, during the coolest wealth
er in spite of the protests Of his
devoted wife, going to a distant
bath house to take his morning
bath (tvile) before he would say
his morning prayers, believing
that when a man went to visit a
king, he should cleanse himself
thoroughly you must be doub-
ly clean when speaking to
God, who is the King of Kings.
All the ideas of the world could
be found in Pinchus Batnik, even

HELP START LIBRARY

Much interest is displayed in the
library project sponsored by the
Woman's club and already a number
of volumes have been received. To
c. F. Blaich belongs the honor of
contributing the first book-a history
of the World war.
1t is expected the Book Week
from April 80 to May 5-will bring
in several hundred books suitable to
be placed in a public library. Books
may be left at the city clerks office
or at the school house.
Everyone realizes the need of a
public library. Many have books
which have been read and enjoyed
but which will not be read again by
their wners. If given to the library
they will be put within the reach of
a great many people who might not
otherwise have an opportunity to
enjoy them. A public library is one
of the city's needs. Let's all help to
give it a good start by donating what
books we can.
