We had a great time with He
brew the other day. He was praising
his race. We have no objection to
anybody praising their own, How
ever, speaking OF Julius Rosenwald,
as the great Jewish behefact0r Of
"you boys" he took credit to the
whole Jewish race for what one man
had done. When We told him that
Jews and Negroes were first cousins,
he seemed astonished and could not
believe that Egypt, the place where
the Jewish race originated, was in
Africa. His own hair showed traces
of African blood and he admitted
that it was "kinky." The Ku Klux-
ers always maintained that the Jews
were nothing more, than white Ne
groes and there is abundant evidence
that while the Jews were down in
Egypt they modified their Semetic
blood by much intermixture with
African blacks. Their leader, Moses,
married black woman and no doubt
many did the same. Jews and black
people have both been under the
yoke of race prejudice and ought to
stick together.

Do you know that your subscrip-
tion has expired? Please call Mr..
Aldrich and renew. Don't wait to
be stricken from the list. Keep your
paper paid up.
Did you have Mr.. Aldrich look up
the title to that property you
bought? Some of you buy property
"sight unseen" as the children used
to play. You trust the man you buy
from and take his word that the title
is good. Don't do it. Get lawyer
and have your abstract examined.
Do you know many things may af-
feet title of which only lawyer
knows or can find out. People some
times believe that the $40 or Sl5
an attorney charges to find all about
the title is wasted. and the seller
often tells them HE knows 1t is all
right. This may not be so, and later
you find yourself with a law suit
which might have been avoided. 9th
ers fail to probate their property
when a death occurs in the family,
thinking to save money. Good horse
sense and business judgment de-
mands that Wills be made BEFORE
death is near. when the mind is clear
and it is not TOO LATE. 1t will
cost you little to attend to these
matters properly at the right time;
it will cost you much more by fail
ing to do so. In buying property re-
member that the agent and property
! owner will always tell you that HE
HAD THE TITLE LOOKED UP
and it is all right, because he wishes
to make a sale. Get your own law
yer and pay him.
The new City Council organized
and went into action at the city hall.
Jesse Silver, representative of the
South End, but later repudiated by
them, retired owing to crushing de-
| feat at the hands of the voters. He
is succeeded by Votaw, whose
friends made strenuous efforts to
kick Silver out before the time. In
| terest at this time so far as the col
| ored man on the street is concerned,
is how many will be kept at work.

be displaced or if so, that he gets
something as good or better. Art is
no whale of a politician, but he is a
smart kid, and we believe that he
has the "makin's." Anyhow he has
splendid family and is trying to
raise them well.
