gratifying that ■
all the minor sins of that glorious old state have been
eliminated, such as lynching, child labor abuses, race and religious hatreds

such major crimes as playing dominoes and golf on Sunday.

It is interesting to read what some of the near•Southern papers have to
say about the revival of the Leo Frank case through the recent confessions
of a convict. Thanks to a devoted disciple, I am in receint of an editorial
from the Louisville Times, which I commend to my readers. It is cap-
tioned "A Murdered Jew" and goes on to any:

"A MURDERED JEW
"Irrespective of whether the statement of the Negro, Freeman,
that the Negro, Conley, was the murderer of the girl in the Frank
factory in Atlanta is true, Leo Frank was the victim of an uncon-
vincing verdict in court, and the victim of murderers who sought
the blood of a Jew, with the approval of a considerable social ele-
ment, in Atlanta and in Georgia. That element produces Imperial
Kleagles and Grand Dragons, Wizards and a bedsheet and pillow slip
wearing rank and file of misguided followers.
The Frank case is hardly a blacker case against justice in Georgia
as a result of the Freeman 'confession,' merely an allegation against
Conley, than it was as it stood when Leo Frank was taken from a
Georgia prison by a mob whose boldness was believed generally to
reflect sympathy and connivance, and made the victim of mob
savagery.
Little surprise will be created by the admission of the former
Governor of 'Georgia and the head of the prison committee that the
Freeman' statement, which is 'news' to the public today, was not
news to them yesterday.
"Dreyfus, accused by Jew baiters of disloyalty to France, was at
last freed. Atlanta's Dreyfus was first sentenced to hand and then,
after the governor had commuted his sentence to life imprisonment
went into the hands of a mob in circumstances which evoked a
nation-wide outcry of indignation against what seemed to have been
an avoidable occurrence."

at the Kirby Center, plans were per-
fecto! for the drive for $15,000 to be
held here by the Jewish National
Fund.
The drive will formally open on
Monday evening, Nov. 5, with a mass
meeting at the Kirby Center. Pales-
tine notion pictures will be shown and
Philip M. Raskin, well known Anglo-
Jewish poet, who is saw touring the
state of Michigan, for the fund, will
speak. There will also be musical
numbers.
The campaign is to last for two
weeks, and the aim is to enlist the
Jews of this city for the redemption
of the land of Palestine as the prop-
erty of the entire Jewish people. Each
itvlividuul Jew will he asked to pur-
dhase a dunam of land which is to be-
,' me the property of the entire Jewish
people, thus enabling the Chaluizm
settle on the soil and cultivate the
land.
Addresses were delivered Monday
evening by Rabbis Aishiskin and J.
Eisennman, 11. Goldman, J. Chaggi,
M. Margolis and others, and all pros-
, ..nt volunteered to act as volunteers.
P. Slomovitz, chairman of the Detroit
committee, presided.
• Another meeting of the volunteers
will be held Sunday afternoon at
the Kirby Center, and will be ad-
dressed by Mr. Raskin, who will spend
two weeks here in preparing and as-
, .fisting in the carrying out of the
I drive.
Young men particularly are urged
; to attend the volunteers meeting and
ioin in the work for the redemption
of the Palestine soil.

Georgia has been guilty of raw and lawless deeds, deeds, which should
cis. it al "Darkest Georgia." The Frank mi. is • blot on Georgia citizen-
ship ad has placed that citizenship on a par with the mining camos of early
Went development. But equally as undesirable a spectacle is presented by
Georgia officialdom and Georgia justice. What the state of Georgia needs is
a fumigati ng outfit and a vacuum cleaner.

President Coolidge has advised the American Jewish Congress that his
administrati on will not tolerate discrimination against the Jews. Further,
that the, will be no toleration of Jewish discrimination in the matter of
immigration legislation. Be that a it may, the facts of the case are that
all immigration legislation has in mind reducing the number of Jewish im-
migrants. I wonder if any one expected the President to make a different
statement? I am quite sure that he means what he says, but in the circum-
stances what he• says can mean but little. Everybody on the inside and a
whole lot of others on the outside know that legislation restrict•ny immi-
gratio n has to • very large extent been deliberately aimed at the Jew. And
furthermore, we• know that President Harding and President Wilson and
all other Presidents felt the same as President Coolidge, but the Johnson
the Kenneth Roberts outside put it

and the Dillingham. in Congress and

over just the same.

"We Iodine that the Bible is the inspired word of God, wbose

and present endeavors to eliminate from the sacred records such
things us men are alleging to be inconsistent with facts in any de-
partment of human knowledge. We represent a sound Lutheran
fundamentalism in upholding not only a few of the bask principles
and doctrines of the Bible, but all of them from Genesis to Revela-
tions, no matter whether in so-called conformity wilt our reason or

The Arabs have finally come to a complete realisation of the fact that
the British government does not intend to recede from the international
obligation it assumed in 1917 in adopting the Balfour resolution. The year.
of political intriguing with the English officials who are unfriendly to the
Jews has not resulted in bringing the relinquishment of the mandate any
nearer. But Sir Herbert Samuel, in ■ statement made to the Arabs on
behalf of the British government, indicated that the establishment of an
Arab agency would in every way meet the proper washes of the Arabs and
would be on a footing with the Zionist agency. This must have been emi•
neatly fair to the Arabs, because the Jews took exception to this action
of the government.

BERLIN.— (J. T. A.)---Anti-Jewish
excesses in Beuthen and neighboring
towns of Upper Silesia have become
SO frequent and reached such a point
that Police President Beck has issued
an under prohibiting assemblages of
more than five pershns in any of thest-
towns, in order to ward off the danger
of pogroms.
The excesses first made their ap-
pearance following the plebiscite in
Upper Silesia, when so-called self-
defense organizations were established
whose real work has been the spread
anti-Semitism disguised us nation-
alism.
Jewish shops have tern plundered
in Hindenburg, Beuthen, Glei•itz and
neighboring towns. 1,ast May a gren-
ade was thrown in the midst of me-
in.rird exercises held for Jewish sol-
diers, and during the entire summer
groups of 10 and 20 youths syste-
matically attacked individual Jews on
the streets with rubber cudgels. Many
Jewish victims of these hooligans
were taken to the hospital suffering
frr m concussion of the brain. Pla -
cards were posted about the town ad-
vising Jews to go to Palestine. Jewish
factories were entered by the mobs
and plundered. The factories have
been the scene of pogroms twice in the
recent past, once on Sept. 22, and the
second time on Oct. 5. But the po-
ginning in a somewhat milder way
goes on regularly. As a result, the
Jewish population has given notice
that it will not participate in the
general social life until Jewish life is
made secure.
The Jewish rperesentatives, in or-
oordance with this decision, withdrew
their representation from the German
distress r mmitlee of Beuthen, which
occupies itself with the work of reliev-
ing the condition of the unemployed.
The absence of the Jews from this
committee has been seriously felt,
and the chairman, Dr. Casperkowitz,.
has issued a proclamation condemn-
ing the anti-Jewish excesses, pointing
out that it is depriving the city of
the section.
