"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-

as the prince passed around the

with hands that looked like the
show window of a Jewelry store,
took off their hats. It was a grand
•sight.
The Bread Line.
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.
What a picture to turn to after
the bright spectacle of wealth just
witnessed! Here was a hundred

I cannot adequately describe that

in my mind. I saw them store the ,

baskets and dart off through the

from the country, which was his
home for centuries, or when enjoy
ing the complete emancipation se
cured to the Jew in 1858, when he
was no longer to subscribe the
oath, "On the faith of a true Chris
tian;" and the statement is equally
true of the Jew as an American
patriot in the war of the revolu
tion, in the war of 1812 and in the
civil war. 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

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

you'll give us justice we won't need

given. In medicine, Jews have al
ways maintained a foremost place.

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.
I most heartily congratulate the
Jewish people in America that on
