• "MOTHER JONES" FINDS TRAGEDY WHERE EXTREMES MEET IN GOTHAM WITHIN THE SPACE OF A CITY BLOCK SHE SEES THE EX CLUSIVE HORSE SHOW CROWD AND THE FAMOUS BREAD LINE OF THE PINCHED LITTLE CHILDREN OF THE SLUMS. Mrs M. Jones, nationally known as "Mother Jones," famous as a la- j bor leader and organizer, was com missioned by this newspaper to I give her impressions of the New ; York horse show, the brilliant so ciety spectacle of the social season in tlie metropolis.. By Mother Jones. The Angel of the Coal Miners. For the benefit of my country women, who know nothing and care less of the frightful tragedies being enacted about us on every side today. I would like to recount the impre.-sion made upon me by a picture that represented the very extremes of our social system: The Fashion Line. I went to Madison Square gar den. Hundreds of men and women, dressed in the height of what they called fashion, were seated in box es, facing a circle where well-bred horses, beautifully kepr. .beautifully fed, beautifully groomed and care fully sheltered from the cold blast of a November evening, were prancing about on the tan bark. The horse show was in progress. The great garden was hung with gay bunting, the air was oppressive with the perfume of cologne and flowers. Pecks of diamonds glis tened at the ears and breasts of the women. Orchids, which 1 am told cost £5 a piece, were as com mon at the corsages of the society dames are daisies in an uncultivat ed meadow in July. A friend told me that the hats that some of the women wore cost as much as 1200 or 1800. One wo man wore a sable coat that repre sented at least $80u. There were silks and satins and rare laces enough to pave Broadway for two miles. When a rotten prince of royalty came to attend the show, the band played the national anthem and so ciety buckled up like hairpins be fore his royal highness. Millions of dollars worth of clothes rustled MISSION AND CHARACTER OF THE JEW By Dr. Robert Stuart Mac Arthur. Pastor of Cal V airy Baptist Church. New York City. The Jew still has a great mis sion even in countries called Chris tian. One part of that mission is to convert Christians to the reli gion of Christ Many so-called Christians are so unlike Him whom they call Master, that they have virtually repudiated this lordship in the affairs of their daily lives. They are utterly unworthy of the Christian name THE JEW BEI/ONGS TO THE OLDEST ARISTOCRACY IN THE WORLD. Americans who boast of having come over in tho Mayflow er, and Britons who claim as their ancestors those who came over with the Norman conquest, aliko excite a smile on the part of Jews whose blue blood can be traced to Solomon and David, to Joshua and Moses, to Abraham and Adam THE JEW DESERVES HIGH HONOR FOR HIS PATRIOTISM IN ALL COUNTRIES AND CBN TI'RIES. This statement la true of the Jew in Spain, both before and after the Spanish inquisition; of the Jew in Germany, although the Germans are now among the great est Jew baiters, forgetting that the Jews resided on the Rhine, enjoy- ABSOLUTE SECURITY Geouine CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS most bear Fac-simile Signature of absolutely ClITe rO SICK HEADACHE. jTt TORPID LIVER.

I walked a hundred paces east, toward the corner of 27th street and Fourth avenue. A little army of children from the slums was drawn up before Cftshman's bakery. I Those children are there every night at H o'clock, drawn up in a line of misery. They came for free bread- —stale bread, something to hold together the bodies and semis of brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers.

I saw them store the , old broad away in thoir bags and baskets and dart off through the dark streets to their tenement homes.

According to Hon. Si mon Wolf, as quoted by Dr. Madi son C. Peters, 7884 Jewish soldiers served in the union and confed erate armies during the civil war. Some of the bravest soldiers in both armies were Jews. Their names shine with a luster which will grow brighter with the passing years. THE JEW HAS AN EQUALLY HONORED PLACE IN POETRY AND IN ART. Mathew Arnold goes so far as to call Heine the "most important Gorman successor and continue tor or Goethe in Goethe's most important line of ac tivity." Jews in almost every ountry in Europe have attained fame as poets, novelists, drama tisst, ators, musicians and essay ists, and as painters and sculptors.

A Judge before whom I was once on trial for the alleged offense of inciting riot, told me I was a good ' old woman, meant well and asked Ime why I did not go into charity. ,"I don't believe in charity," I told him. "If I had my way about it I 1 would tear down every charitable institution in the world. I want justice, no more and no less. If you'll give us justice we won't need charity." Alas, how sad is the fate of the ninety and nine of the army of poor children in New Yore —the kind of children I have described. Some will go forfh into the slave pens of our industrial system.

Did space permit, the roll of Jews as mathematicians, astronomers, phil ologists and biologists could be given. In medicine, Jews have al ways maintained a foremost place. As philosophers, jurists and scien tists, the whole world has crowned the Hebrew with honor. From the days of Joseph, Moses and Daniel to the time of Lord Beaconsfield. the Jew has been pre-eminent as a statesman. This remark applies to Spain, to Portugal, to Holland, to Germany, to France, to Italy and to England. In the financial world, he has always been recognized as king. In the pulpit, he has been a ;reat power for good and for God. HE HAS ENDURED PERSECU TION WITH A HEROISM WORTHY OF THE NOBLEST SAINTS AND MARTYRS the world has ever produced. In Spain where the Jews had numerous col onies since the time of Hadrian, their fortunes were confiscated and their bodies were tortured eight centuries before the Spanish inqui sition. Afterward they endured all the horrors of that satanic inquisi tion. Autos da fe happened in Portugal as late as 177ti, and in South America as late as 1812. The story of these terrible persecutions is written in the blood of God's ancient children. RACIAL HATRED AND RELI GIOUS BIGOTRY ARE TWIN RELICS OF BARBARISM. The cruel persecutors of those early days, and of today in Russia, are deciples of sataninity rather than of Christianity. So-called Chris tians of this character make athe ism respectable and even com mendable. The Jews today, in their ptticnt endurance of unspeakable wrongs better illustrate the ideal charac ter set forth by Christ than do the fiendish persecutors who falsely, bear the Christian name. If the conduct of these persecutors were consistently Christian, many of us would repudiate the Christian name.
