The Brisbane Editorial

To the editorial by Arthur Brisbane, which appeared in a recent
issue of the Chicago I lerald and Examiner, some things might be
added and some things aright advantageously be taken away. But,
on the whole, the editorial is so comprehensive, and it is so fair a
presentation of its subject-matter, that we believe we can do no
better than to give the editorial space in this issue to a reprint of it.
The editorial is as follows:

else. As well say that Henry Ford is not a creator in the automobile
business, but simply draws profit from the man who invented the gas
engine,
In modern industrial and commercial progress, the railroad stands
at the head. Have the Jews done anything for the railroads of the
world ?
The Rothschilds carried the Ii ad in building the Great Northern
Railroad of France and the principal railway in Austria.
Baron de Hirsch founded his fortune by establishing the railway
system in the Balkans. I.ike many other Jews, he left all of that for-
tune to be spent in good work after his death.
The German-Jewish banking house of Illeichroeder was the back-
bone of the I russian railway system until the government took it over.
The Bischottheims built up the railroad system of Belgium; the
Pereires, also Jews, built the southern railways for Russia. Ask the
ghost of E. II. Harriman bow the Jewish firm of Kuhn, Locb &
enabled him to develop his lines, making it possible to change them
into real railroads to the tune of 50,1nm miles of trackage and twelve
billions of dollars.
Jewish enterprise, that runs practically every manufacturing sew-
ing machine in the United States, also started running the biggest
locomotives of the world.

These I'ereires that developed the railroads in South Russia also
developed railroad systems in the north of France. And they were the
creators of the Credit Fonder and Credit Mobility, that became the
chief pillars of financial strength in France.
Men like the Pereires and others were not only "business men."
Otte, Jacob Rodriguez l'creire, was first to teach deaf-mutes, which is
not exactly' a money-making enterprise.
All of that family were earnest radicals, by the way, and making
millions did not, as usually happens, cure them of radicalism and origi-
nal power of thought.

Intelligent men, in studying a block of ore in a mountain or a block
of human beings in history, ask not how much ordinary earth but how
much GOLD is in that block. The Jewish mental block assays cry
highly and history proves it.

Behold reasonable space in a crowded Sunday newspaper has been
exhausted, and the review from Jacob's book has not begun.
It should interest you buy and read it. It gives facts, a truthful
review of history.
Hatred of Jews and ignorance concerning them that marked the
Middle Ages disgrace any man in this age, and arc especially unworthy
of such a man as Henri' Ford.
Occasionally this writer receives a letter from a colored preacher in
the south who says earnestly that the earth is really not round, but flat,
and the rut erend gentleman "can prove it."
I IL' is not asked to prove it. The rotundity of the earth is no
longer discussed. •
And it is not necessary for Jews to prove the falsehood of slander
circulated against diem for ages. Such a man as Henry Ford, losing
justice, should not allow his name or his money to be used on the side
of ignorance and slander.

Romans, Normans, Spaniards, Englishmen, Prussians, Goths, Mon

The Jew's conquest in his own field has run through centuries, be

Mr. Ford should remember how he himself has been ignorantly o
maliciously attacked and hated, as an antidote to prejudice and lie
handed down through centuries. There are here offered to Ford an d
others a few facts.

They were the first to sail from the Mediterranean through the Strait
of Gibraltar, out into the wild Atlantic.
They were first to open the tin mines of England, first darin g
explorers in many lands.
They WERE FIRST TO NAVIGATE OUT OF SIGHT Of
LAND, traveling at night by the stars; they had no compass, risking
shipwrecks in fog or cloudy weather.
Does that show lack of enterprise or physical courage?
Men ask, "What have Jews contributed to the intellect of the
world?"
Three books have influenced the human mind above others-
Hoiner, Aesop's Fables and the Bible.
The Jews wrote the Bible, and gave Christianity to the world.
The mother of Christ was a Jewess, especially chosen, undoubtedly,
for nobility of character and purity of soul.
That fact alone should make "Christians" hesitate to condemn Jews
indiscriminately.

In ancient laws you may read that the Jews were "the property" of
the King. Sometimes he protected them. They could make money, he
needed it, and knew how to get it from them Nearly always he had
a Jew for his physician, and great heads of the church also had Jewish
physicians, although ordinary Christians were not allowed to employ
them.
"Widows, orphans, aliens, Jews, lunatics and later the panting
press" were under the control of the monarch.
Jews and printing press combined have done a great deal to put
the monarch out of date. Jews have been leaders always in courageous
radical thought. That is why the czars butchered them. They outlive
the czars.
Ancient, deeply religious minds believed, with childish ingenuous-
ness, that, whereas the Jews should all have been wiped out after the
crucifixion, they were kept alive to prove the truth of the Bible.
Thus, St. Bernard says: "They are living symbols for us, repre-
senting the Lord's passion. For this are they dispersed to all lands,
so that, while they pay the just penalty of so great a crime they may
be witnesses for our redemption."
St. Bernard was a sincere, very good man, and in the brutality
surrounding him his words probably were a protection for Jews.
But, more enlightened today, we know that God kept Jews alive
not to prove that He told the truth in Ilk Bible, but rather because He
knew that the rest of the world needed their energy', intelligence and
other good qualities.
The intellect of man owes much to the writing of Jews, who possess

"A tale that is told."
"A land flowing with milk and honey."
"The wife of toy bosom."
"The apple of my eye."
"Vanity of vanities."
"Heaping coals of tire."
"Weighed in the balance and found wanting."
"Put not thy trust in princes."
"Go to the ant, thou sluggard."
"Righteousness exalteth a nation."

"A soft answer turneth away wrath."
"Love is strong as death."
Is there lack of mental concentration in these sayings, that might
be stretched out to fill every column of this newspaper?

Whether Jews originated monotheism—belief in one god—or bor-
rowed the idea from Babylonians, that borrowed it from others,
we don't know. Rut we know that we got THAT IDEA front the
Jews, and we should be grateful to them.
Renan thought the Jews got their idea of one god while wandering
in the desert, flat, apparently infinite, nothing visible to he worshiped.
They were compelled to look above and imagine one god up there. But
that is not convincing to those that know how the mind of man has
worked while creating religions to represent his stage of devektment.

Are Jews perfect, better than others? By no means.
Their ancient superstitions and laws arc in some instances infi-
nitely worse than our own, in some instances better. They probably
have as many defects as any other race, perhaps more, because they are
more highly complicated. More things wrong in a twelve-cylinder
engine than in a one-cylinder machine.

Carl Marx, who disturbs the dreams of many prosperous gentle-
men, was a Jew. That may not be in the language of our day, "a
boost" for his race, but it shows that they do their own thinking.
Trotsky, who could walk from a sewing machine on the East Side
of New York to a 50 per cent interest in the dictatorship of Russia,
is another Jew. That shows power of "adaptation to environment."

Have Jews physical courage? Ask the prizefighters—any of the
gentlemen whom Mr. Benjamin Leonard has stretched out in the course
of his career.
Better still, ask the pages of history.
