? Days Dar V Nights S Why Persecute Jews? Lexington Dispatch. It is not our purpose in venturing to write this article to create race-antipathy in the least, but the Editor is away this week and tihe Assoicate Editor will pass it up to the readers as anere innocent ramblings. Somehow, or somehow else, we have sympathy for a down-trodden race known as Hebrews, or Jews. We have not a drop of Jewish blood in our veins; we are not connected by blood or mar- i riage with the Jews, by any near or j distant kinsman. We owe 110 Jew a j dollar and no Jew owes us. Among j all our personal or intimate friends ! we cannot name one Jew. We speak, | therefore, from the vantage grounds of j absolute independence and impartiali- j ty concerning this "splendid race," ! splendid in patience, endurance, brotherly love, sagacity, temperance, Splendid in their intellectual resources j and splendid in an inflexible adherence to other Mosaic ideals. We presume that there are many here in Lexington county prejudiced against the Hebrews, but if we want an aristocrary of blood and birOi, the Jews are the purest blooded people and have the best descent upon the face of the earth. Neither Mirabeau in the French As- j sembly. nor Patrick Henry in j the House of Burgesses, nor Sam Adams in the Colonial days of Amer ica, ever said a more thrilling thing j than did Benjamin Disraeli?after- < ward Beaconfield?in reply to O'Connel in the English Commons, who charged Jhim and was scoffing Disraelli for being a Jew," Yes," said Disraelli. "I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of 1 the right honorable gentlemen were brutal savages on an unknown island mine were priests in the temple." . j' Was this not a scathing, excoriting and withal a magnificent statement? ( Who in the light of human history are the aristocracy if not the Jews? Do we seek an aristocracy of talent? The great -church historian Neander, Napoleon's marshals, Souit and Messena, Gambette, the brilliant cynic Heine, were Jews. If you want an aristocracy of wealth let it be remembered that iiae combined financal power of the Jews in Europe and America can prevent the floatng of any national loan which, may be put upon the market of the world. The world's list of great solders, authors, musicians, painters, poetSy philosophers, and financiers contain many, very many Jews. We. give pictures of Gentile couples in the fuss, entering a Gentle church, the "beautiful" bride leanng on the arm of her "dad" attired in white satin en train embellished with "point lace" and carrying orange blossoms, ?v: 1 - "ATioo or* onH en'* rpndf?rftd W HI1C UdT; XUIOO ov uuu WW - ~ Mendelssohn's or Lohengrin's wedding ! march, at the piano, which were both composed by Jews. We hear some of our would-be dudes and dudesses, "society" theatre goers, cuss out the Jews and these same critics would give two whole plunks to see that queep of tragedy?:the world renowned Elizabeth Felix who played in America in the role of "Rachel" about a lhalf century ago: She was a Jewess born of Jew parents who were foot peddlers in France.

It ' was a Jew who for years was the j adroit and sagacious chairman of the j executive committee of one of our i great national political parties here in j the United States.

In reverence and honor for parents, in self sacrific ing love among the children, unity, peace and concord, the average Jewish' family is simply ideal. The beauty and fidelity of Jewish ^yomen is perfect and among the wealthy and educated Jews, the exquisite refinement of Jewesses, their culture and high breeding blended with a sort of oriental race and dignity put them among the most charming in the world. Convert the Jews? Yes, but meanwhile, let us convert some of our church: goes to genuine Christianity. Suppress them? A score of Russian czars cannot do it. Every people in the world has tried it and failed. They have outlived the Tudors and Plantagentes, the Romanoffs, the tyranny of Spain, the dynasties of F ce, Charlemagne, Constantine, the Geasars, the Babylonian kings and Egyptian Pharaohs. It was God's own race for fbur thousand years and the awful persecution it has survived for two thousand more stamps it as a race still bearing some misterious relaton to the eternal. The belief that the Jew is more dishonest than the Gentile is half falsehood, two halves nonsense and three halves prejudice. This j anti-Jewish feeling is un-American, ' un-Christian and inhuman, and no man ! who believes in the universal fatherhood of God and the universal brother- i hood of man can share it. We read i in Holy Writ that "Vengeance is T ill 4-Vl 'va ooifn fVio mine, i win tuwav Lord." So if the Jew is in error in his religious views it is none of our business to persecute him. As well persecute an unrepentant Gentile. It is believed by those who are not well read on the Bible that the Jews crucified Christ. If this is suTe, Christ was a false prophet and the New Testament is absolutely without foundation. This feeling seems to be born of the devil. Truth is mighty and will prevail. Ancestors College Boys.' Princeton, N. J., Dispatch to the New York Herald.
