JEWISH PEOPLE ARE TARGET OF GERMANS' HATE Violent Anti-Semitic Reign Persisted Through Two Decades After 1879. This is the third of a sorie by Dr ri?rr\ Elmer Bainei Ph D. on the history of past persecutions of the Jewish peyplc. By HARRY ELMER BARNES. At. tho opening of the nineteenth century, the prospects of the Jews for civilized treatment seemed some- | v hat improved. The influence of Voltaire and the Rationalists had lessened the force of religious bigotry. The internationalism of the classical economists and the Cobdcnite libe ra 1 s temporarily : checked the rising tide of nationalism and super-patriotism. But it was not long until the spirit of persecution once more was abroad in the land. To the old economic j and religious foundations of intol- i erance were now added the fierce j fires of nationalism. In Germany many elements contributed to produce two decades of violent anti-Semitism after 1879. This was the period of the so-called ' Aryan myth and of the theory that ! non-Aryan peoples were of inferior clay. This doctrine was extracted by vulgar pseudo-scientists from the j linguistic studies of Max Muller and Ernest Renan. Called Alien ('anker Men like the above mentioned Herr Hellwald blatantly proclaimed that the Jews were incapable of true civilization. They were an alien canker and must be eradicated. The imperial court preacher. Adolph Stocker, rallied fanatical German Protestants to his side in 1 Ire anti-Semitic crusade. The leader of the German patriots, the famous Professor Heinrich von Treitschke, proclaimed that the Jews must be abased. There had been disastrous speculation in Germany after the FrancoPrussian war and two leading Jewish members of the rcichstag, Edouard Lasker and Ludwig Bamberger. had exposed the complicity of leading German financiers and politicians. Finally the rising radicalism and socialism was derived from the teachings of a Jewish philosopher, Karl Marx, and was organized by Jewish leaders. All the Jew haters united to produce a vigorous wave of anti-Sem-itism that ran wild in the early eighties and was revived in the ear'y nineties. Only Bismarck's opposition prevented it from evolving into a general massacre. Hatred Dies Down. At the opening of (he present century the hatred of the Jews in Germany had died down and the Kaiser himself numbered many prominent Jews among his friends and advisers, most notable perhaps being Albert Ballin of the Ham- j burg-American Line. In Austria the anti-Semitic move- j ment was taken up following 18821 largely in imitation of Germany.! The leader here was George Schrenrer. France had its fling with anti- j Semitism, culminating in the no- 1 torious Dreyfus case. The leader i was an irresponsible writer. Edouard . Drumont. In 1886 he published a ; scandalous book entitled "Jewish j France.” In 1892 he founded an ! anti-Semitic newspaper "La Libre Parole.” He not only revived the conventional arguments against the Jews j as an inferior and grasping race, j but accused them of financial cor- I ruption at the top and revolutionary | radicalism at the bottom. Dreyfus j became the scapegoat of French j anti-Semitism, but his ultimate | vindication and the exposure of thei baseness of his enemies served to ] discredit French anti-Semitism for many years to come. The bloodiest anti-Semitism in ! the nineteenth century was carried | on in Russia. It combined Medieval religious intolerance with a fear of the growing radicalism of many Russian Jews. The assassination of Alexander II in 1881 strengthened the Russian reactionaries and increased the repression of the Jews. Curb on Jews Ordered. In 1882. Alexander 111 forbade the Jews to acquire land, limited them to city residence, and restricted the Jews first to 10 per cent and then to 3 per cent, of the student bodyin any Russia school or university. In 1890 he ordered all Jews not personally exempted to migrate frfom central Russia to the western provinces. Open massacre was common and j in the year 1891 alone more than] 300.000 Jews left Russia. At the opening of the present century violence against the Jews became even more widespread under the leadership of the so-called Black Hundreds, the zealous reactionary bands encouraged by the government. There were many bloody massacres, of which that at Kishinex in 1903 was the most notable. Tens of thousands of Jews were slain in the various butcheries. It is a somewhat interesting fact that pictures taken at the time of these Russian massacres of the Jews were used in the war propaganda against the Germans following 1914. and the murdered Jews were represented as victims of the German armies in Poland. Violence against the Jews in eastern Europe was not limited to the Russians. Rumania was a notorious offender. The treaty of Berlin in 1878 had guaranteed religious 1 equality in Rumania. But the Rumanian leaders hated the Jews, who were the dominant force in Rumanian finance and commerce. They refused to extend to the Jews citizenship or the right to own land. Local persecutions and massacres of the Jews were com-: mon. GALLOWAY TRIES TO FILE MAYOR CANDIDACY Fails in Attempt to Abrogate State Skip-Vote Law; Plans Suit. Fred S. Galloway. Democratic representative from Marion county, Thursday attempted to abrogate the “skip-election” law by seeking to file his candidacy for mayor with City Clerk Henry O. Goett. Upon Goett's refusal to accept the declaration, in view of the 1933 election moratorium which postponed municipal elections one year Galloway announced he would file suit to test constitutionality of the law. A test suit already has been filed in circuit court.

Hotbeds Give Good Start to Tender Vegetables

This is the fourth of a series of articles on vegetable gardening. BY W. R. BEATTIE Bureau of Plant Industry. I'. S. Department of Agriculture SOUTHERN gardeners have a big lead over their northern neighbors because they can get their gardens started so much earlier in the season. But. even southern gardeners can gain time if they will provide a small hotbed or a coldframe in which to start early plants of the more tender vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants. Plant pits built along the south side of the dwelling or hot water heater used for heating the house, make an ideal arrangement for growing flowers during mild southern winters, and, in addition, part of the space can be used for starting early garden plants. These pits usually are covered with regular glazed hotbed sashes which are hinged at the top so that

"Thousands of gardeners are planting seeds in their gardens quite early and then rovering the hills of the plants with .parchment paper caps.” they can be raised for ventilation—a very necessary precaution on sunny days. Sometimes it is only necessary to have a door connecting the house cellar with the plant pit to get enough heat, but in sections of the country where the temperature is likely to drop considerably below freezing at night, special heating of the pit may be required. Windows as Hotbeds Hotbeds, consisting of sash-cov-ered pits partly filled with fermenting manure as a means of furnishing heat, are used on many farms for starting early garden plants. However the supply of manure for heating beds is limited and many gardeners now are content to start a few plants in their living room windows and later transplant them to a well-protected coldframe.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Wong Gee Sen. 15, of 465 West Washington street, a fifth grade pupil at School 5, California and Washington streets, has made two Chinese kites during a recent study of kites.

BOY, GIRL ARE HURT IN CRASH Auto Mishap Lands Pair in Hospital: Young Driver Under Arrest. Two young persons are in Methodist hospital today with serious injuries suffered Thursday night when a sedan containing eight persons sideswiped another car, crashed into a street car, and caromed into the rear of a parked car. Miss Geraldine Cook of 2422 East Sixteenth street, suffered a sprained back, possible internal injuries and cuts and bruises. Paul Bruner, 16, of 2823 Shelby street, was knocked unconscious and suffered arm lacerations. Other occupants of the car were Gordon Messerlie, 15, of 340 Graham avenue; Miss Cook, 13; Miss Margaret Raffensberger, 16, of 1416 Fletcher avenue; McCord Oglesby, 18, of 5823 Lowell avenue; Miss Harriet Rainsdall, 15, of 516 Wallace street, and A1 Pugh, 18, of 962 Hervey street. Pugh was arrested on reckless driving charges. Driven by Pugh, the car containing the eight young persons attempted to pass, in the 4400 block of East Michigan street, a car being driven in the same direction by Mrs. Louis Mounsey, 1625 Haugh street. Sideswiping the Mounsey car, the Pugh car careened into an approaching street car and then into a parked car.

If the coldframe is built on the south side of the garage or some sheltering building, and is well banked with earth on the exposed side and the ends, it will protect plants during quite severe freezing, especially if a layer of straw or some other covering is spread over the glass. Hotbed mats consisting of felt and burlap make the best covering, but old carpet or matting or three or four inches of straw, will keep out a lot of cold. Tomatoes require about three or four weeks in the house before the plants are ready to transplant to the coldframe. Peppers require about five weeks. Cucumbers and summer squashes, planted in quart berry boxes in the house, will be ready for the coldframe in about ten days after the seeds are planted. Thousands of southern gardeners are planting the seeds of cucumbers, squashes and melons in their gardens quite early, and then covering the hills of plants with parchment paper caps. Other gardeners are using glass covers. Still others are using small boxes without bottoms and with a piece of glass laid over the top. Thousands of market and roadside market gardeners in the north are building small greenhouses of posts, boards and hotbed sash in which to start all their early plants. Many of these sash houses are about 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, and are heated by stoves or small hot water heater, such as are used for heating water in home laundries. NEXT: Fertilizers.
