However, this obscure ignoramus, who probably was pushed into
the limelight because she belonged to some musical club, has amended
her first Joolish statement by making another more foolish. Now she
is perfectly satisfied to bane Jews if needs be, but not "East Side"
Jews. For stupidity raised to the "nth" power, I recommend unre.
dly this statement. The Jews that Mrs. Nobody has in 'mod
when she refers to "East Side" Jews are the only kind of Jews that
have given to the world its great musicians. I think it is nearly time
that someone got the hook and rang down the curtain on such exhi•
bitions of amateurs trying to show off. It is really very, very painful
to have to read such awful trash in reputable musical journals.

Attention, magistrates, justices of the peace (I have no tratlicious
intention of disregarding order of precedence), city judges, county
judges, all kinds of judges, and all kinds and conditions of jurists—I
commend to your attention these few jottings taken from the record
of • trial held in Newburgh, N. Y., before Supreme Court Justice
H. F. Seeger and a Supreme Court jury. The details of the action
•are not necessary. Suffice it to say that for the fint time in the his-
tory of New York state • verdict was set aside on the grounds of

racial prejudice.

-

A lawyer by the name of Murphy, who—judging from his name—
must have had some harsh things said about him, too, in his lifetime,
in his summation for the defense acid in part: "This case reminds
me of Roman history. When the Romans wanted a holiday they would
go out and get a Christian and offer him to their god. And the Win•
kelstein family in this lawsuit is attempting to offer this poor de-
fendant to their god by getting his last dollar." All of which writes
Mr. Murphy down as shyster lawyer regardless of his knowledge of

Roman history.

The intelligent jury disregarded the judge's instruction and gave ■
verdict for Murphy's client. Justice Seeger, from the bench, said:
"Counsel in his argument was very adroit and ingenuous in his attempt
to create race prejudice, which evidently had such an effect upon the
jury that they paid no attention to the actual proof in the case. Under
our constitution every man, dies.of his race, is entitled to an
equal chance before the law. The Jews are entitled to the same con-
sidention and treatment in our courts and elsewhere that the Gentile
is accorded. The motion to set aside the verdict and for • new trial
is granted." In every court in the had we find shysters practising as

lawyers who, because of their limited legal knowledge and weak rasa
sowing powers resort to prejudice to win their cases. I think judges
ought to follow the example set by Justice Seeger.

Former President Taft will be appointed Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States. The whole nation will welcome
and approve the appointment. Mr. Taft is the ideal judge, and he
wanted to be on the Supreme Bench with an intensity that fairly hurt.
But he had to be President, willy-nilly; to say nothing of Secretary of
War and • son of • "Colonist Governor" for the various possessions
actual and "almost" of the United States. All of which, however, has
simply equipped him more fully than ever to discharge the duties of
the exalted office to which he will be called. In view of this I am
reminded that Henry Ford calling Mr. Taft names is on • level with

some street gamin shooting beans at • giant.

A wave of discussion has followed the signing of the immigration
biU on the part of the foreign-language press of the country. Out of
all the comments I think the most significant is that the way to solve
the immigration problem is not to stop immigration but to regulate it,
direct it, guide it, advise it. I am also of the opinion that our present
methods of "Americanization" are futile and rrrrr •ag•nt. One can't
make good citizens through canned speeches and pinching of the
eagle's tail feathers. There is too much bombast, bluster, buncombe,
in this "Americanisation" campaign to he of much use. It smacks too
much of insincerity sad "professional uplift" work. What is needed
is something practical rather than speeches. Exercise care in the selec•

Sian of immigrants; help locate immigrants in sections that need them,
and give them the opportunity to become goad citizens — that's the
common-sense way of Americanising foreigners.

Here is • biography of a Jewish-Christian missionary that has no
right to be hidden under • bushel. In the notice of the a ppearance
of the gentleman in Buffalo we read in the Courier: "Pastor Mark
John Levy of London, England, is the speaker this week at the City

and
that the Jehovah of the Old Testament was the Jesus of the New,
when he gave up family and wealth and became • faithful follower

of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Rev. Levy is presenting the gospel in
