Protecting the Police in Malaysia
1t was well-known throughout the
Malay States that for Chinese to
gamble is a necessity, and Govern
ment allowed certain farmers to
provide tables on licensed premises,
where Chinese coolies might lose
their earnings under protection of the
law. In every town and village this
farm" is the chief resort. But it
was equally well-known that no Of
fetal is permitted to gamble, and
that if Malay CANDLES, he is guilty
of a grave offense. Thus for a man
who was not only an employee of
1.-THE Company" i. e. Government.
but also a police constable and
Malay, to gamble, was a double
crime. How the Malay police them
selves dealt with such wickedness I
discovered one day when duties took
me to the frontier of a neighboring
state. 1t was my intention to pass
the night at the police station over
the border. On my arrival I was
surprised to find Chinaman chained
to the legs of each of the wooden
bed frames. Inquiry elected the fact
that these were very bad Cinnamon.
There was no gaol, and they had to
be thus secured until it was possible
to take them to headquarters. Ac-
customed to stories of crime, i asked
which was the particular label for
these malefactors. 1t was then ex-
planned to me that, I'm our state,
Tuan, no police may gamble" Gan in
situation, I felt, that perhaps in my
benighted kingdom such things were
permitted,) land yet, knowing this.
the Chinese who kept the tables
allowed us, Malay police, to gamble
and lose our money. So it is right
to arrest them for breaking the law.
The money has been confiscated, and
the prisoners will be taken to head
quarters for trial" In out-stations,
where there is no European officer,

would have said to the corporal and
his party, but I confined myself to
suggesting that. because visitors had
come and the little room was incon-
veniently crowded, it might be as
we'll to let the captives go free. This
seemed, of course, very irregular, but
the corporal acquiesced. Since no
money was returned, the status quo
ante was restored. Probably on flu
ture occasions the police would be al
lowed to leave off as winners.-F'rom

OF MUNICH, which
has it's beginning during the
twelfth century, tells us of the
troubles, false accusations and
different atrocities they endured
at the hands of the Bavarian
kings. The most horrible of
them all was when the king,
Macmillan of Bavaria, issued a
proclamation in 1498, for the ex-
lie of the entire Jewish people
of that country. Until the year
of 1924 there was law pro-
hibiting any Jew to settle in
Nuremberg. They were allowed
though, to enter the city for a
short period to transact bust
ness.
Although the Jews endured at
that time, every hardship, such
as very heavy taxes, no inter-
mingling with the Gentiles, the
destruction of Jewish worship
houses, Jewish cemeteries being
ploughed and turned into fields,
still it can be said, that bloody
pogroms, or massacres, did not
occur there since 1898, when six
hundred and ninety eight people
were murdered. After that King
Albert promised the Jewish peo-
pie protection.
For the past seventy years the
Bavarian Jews have led a sweet,
peaceful life and did much to de-
velop the industries, namely,
metal, wood and bone carvings,
Children's Dutch tops and dolls,
known as Nuremberg wares"
find ready sale in every part
of Europe, and are largely ex-
ported to America. The city of
Nuremberg has become the CEN
ter of Jewish culture, a source of
Torah and "chochmih," a place
of German Jewish othodox
Judaism. The Jews of Nueren-
berg have in the past seventy
years, lived in friendly compan-
ionship with their Gentle neigh
bors, the latter being grateful
to the Jews for helping to build
the industries of that country
and m a ke Nuremberg the
market place of Bavaria.
Even during the world war,
the economical crisis in Bavaria
did not bring any racial pre-
judices. The Communist party
of Bavaria had given over the
government into the hands of a
Jewish president, X. Eisner and
a labor leader Levine.
Suddenly everything became
different. That which did not
occur in the blacklist days of the
middle ages happened in the
modern civilized generation of
today. The poisoned agitation
of Ludendorf against all social
lists and Jews, has demoralized
the inhabitants of Bavaria and
Jewish people were killed, mur-
dered, and driven out without
any just cause or reason. With
much impatience do we watch
and wait to see what this civiliz-
ed world of ours, will say.
The Denver Jewish news., 1923-11-22

n this week-on November
16. 1869. to be eXact-the


Il 16, 1869, to be exact-the
Suez canal, then the greatest
engineering feat ever accom-
plished, was opened with fitting
ceremonies. Potentates from all
over the world attended or sent
representatives. The khedive of
Egypt spent on this celebration
some $4,OOO,0O0. OF all this
money and all the splendor law
ished on this display nothing
was permanent.
OF all the entertainment ar
ranged in celebration of the
Suez canal opening, but one fea-
ture still remains-the opera,
Aida, which was especially writ
ten for the occasion. All the
rest is forgotten.
The Italian composer, Guis-
sepe Verdi, received the COM
mission from the ruler of Egypt
to write a musical drama honor
ing this great event. The inn
mortal Aida was the result. Of
all the millions expended on this
occasion, it is only this-the
spiritual monument-that re-
mains to commemorate a great
physical task accomplished.
After more than half a CEN
tury, no opera repertoire is
complete without that romantic
opera to which the Suck canal
gave the inspiration. The only
criticism is that the story of
this masterpiece was without
connection with the event it was
supposed to eulogize. Neverthe-
less, it holds forth inspiration
for the plan of The Denver Post
to fittingly celebrate the opening
of the Moffat Tunnel.
The life of David Moffat could
be made the basis Of a most in
teresting ibretto. The great
composers of the world could be
requested to create the typical
American musical drama. There
are so many dramatic incidents
in connection with the Moffat
Tunnel idea, before the realiza-
tion of Moffat's dream was be-
gun, around which a gripping
story could be woven. The
scenes would be laid in our own
Rocky Mountains and the scenic
artist could revel in the SYM
phony of colors and picturesque
formations which surround US.
The title-of such an opera could
be Colorado" and it would be a
permanent advertisement for
our state.
While we speak of an Ameri-
can opera that is typical of our
life, it would be a grave mistake
to limit its creation or produc-
ton to American artists exclu-
sively. We have been sending
our students of music to Europe
and they have always been re-
ceived with open arms in the art
centers of France and of Italy
and of Germany. No national
istic pettiness has ever pre-
