IN JUSTICE TO A MALIGNED RACE.
The tendency of eome newspapers, to quote the members of the Hebraic persuasion, as Jews, particularly If it is in connection with some
criminal event, has been sharply criticized by leadig members of the faith
and they are justified in their exceptions. A copy of the Modern View, a Jewish paper, editorializes on this subject as follows:
"A year ago (in our issue of March 6, 190S, to be exact), -when the
daily press, in reciting an attempt on the life of the Chief of Police, Shippy
of Chicago, by one Lazarus Averbuch, chronicled the attempt made by a
'Russian Jew!' We wrote the following editorial:
" 'The associated news service of our daily press needs a tutor. There
Is no excuse whatsoever for denominating the man who attempted Chief
ShiDDV's life as a Russian Jew. as they did In the dally press. He was a
Russian. That he happened to be of Jewish religious faith was not neces
sary to chronicle, any more than it was to state the religious persua
sion of Chief Shippy. whose life was attempted. The Associated Press
would in a minute see the absurdity of a statement such as this:
'"Lazarus Averbuch, a Russian Jew, attempted the life of Police Chief
Shippy, an American Roman Catholic. The fellow conspirators of Averbuch were arrested by the American Protestant detective John O'Brien, who
took them to the police station where the German Lutheran judge, Schultp
committed them to prison without bail. The French Episcopal reporter for the dally Globe-Democrat reported the event and the American BaptisS
and, English Methodist printers printed the paper.' "Tet all this is just as absurd and as thoroughly consistent as specifying Averbuch aa a Russian Jew.
"'Once for all, let the dally press bear In mind not, to quote the Jewish persuasion of a criminal,' or if they will kindly be consistent and quote the
religious persuasion of all other people as well, or at least also the Juda
ism of great men of our faith, and not only of our malefactors.'
"The equity of It is easily perceived when we observe that the Jewish adjective is never used in the dally pres3 in cases of distinguished, merit
of some Jewish savant, artist or philantroplst. Only In criminal cases did
the denomination figure.
"Froma correspondence published elsewhere in this Issue it develops
that Adolph Kraus, president of the American Independent Order B'naJ
B'rith, has prevailed on the Associated Press, through its general manager. . Melville E. Stone, to adopt a rule prohibiting its agents from publishing the religious beliefs of evil-doers, when such belief has nothing to do with
the offense committed.
"This is a great triumph for justice. It is a bloodless victory, but one that will have good fruit for much prejudice has been fomented (though unintended perhaps), by the frequent publication In the daily press of the
notation of 'Jew' in connection with some criminal, when such a descrip
tion of his faith was entirely uncalled for and unnecessary.
"We lay no claim to having In any way aided the bringing about of this happy change, which will, we hope, be more than a promise, but we are
delighted to know that we thought and uttered the proper suggestion and
that men in power, whose influence counts, have agreed with us as to the
wise way out.
"If we could only more frequently get at the original springs of the things that foster prejudice against the Jew we might find that in many
cases the intention is not malicious, but that thoughtlessness or mlscon-
ception of thee onsequences were the truer explanations.
"The next important step for the Jewish leaders to consider and un
dertake is to seek a remedy for the false instruction given in the Christian Sunday schools by which erroneous teaching the Jew is pictured as the
slayer of Christ and the prejudice of centuries thereby kept alive and hand
ed over to the succeeding generation.
"The task Is great but .the results are equally large for good or ill
Though the task seem herculean, faithful workers in the cause of Justice to the Jew will not shrink from it. They will not rest until a method be
discovered and the execution accomplished for the elimination of the abom
inable superstition with its concomitant of fostered prejudice." CONGRESS CALLS UPON THE PEOPLE.
THIS IS MY 62ND BIRTHDAY. Bishop Bonaenm.
Rt Rev. Thomas Bonacum, bishop of the diocese of Lincoln, Neb., and one of the best known prelates of the Roman Catholic church in America, was born In County Tipperary, Ireland,
Jan. 29, 1847. As an Infant he was brought by his parents to the United States and his childhood was spent In
Missouri. After completing the usual
course of study in the parochial schools he attended college at Cape Girardeau, Mo., from which he was graduated with
high honors. He then went abroad and
spent several years In study at the university at Wurrburg, Bavaria. In 1870
he was ordained a priest and during
the early years of his priesthood he was engaged principally In missionary work. For six years, from 1881 to
18S7, he was pastor of the Church of
the Holy Name In St. Louis. HI
plendld work there attracted the at
tention of the higher church authoritiesIn this country and In 1834 he was
honored with the appointment of theo
logian to the Third Plenary Council of the United States, which was held in Baltimore In that year. In 1887 he
was named as first bishop of the Ro
man Catholic diocese of Lincoln, his
consecration taking place Nov. 2" 0 the same year.

PROFESSOR BROWN APPOINTED. ; President IL Brown of Valparaiso
was one of thirteen men appointed Wednesday by Governor Marshall to
represent the thirteen congressional districts at the tariff convention to be
held in Indianapolis Feb. 17, 18 and 19.
The governor had been requested by
the convention committee to appoint such representatives and wrote to prominent men in the various districts asking if they would come to the meet

YOUTH IS PAROLED. Governor Marshal granted a parole to Otto Hill, a 20-year-old youth who had been confined in the state reformatory at Jeffersonville since March 25, 1907, convicted of a statutory charge. Governor Marshall's action was based on a petition signed by the judge and eleven Jurors who served in
the Fulton County criminal court at
the time of Hill's conviction. BLOWN BY EXPLOSION.

"When politicians and grafters con
trol the selection of our juries, as they do at the present time, they are striking directly at our liberties," said James W. Noel, before the senate committee on county and township business, last night.
He was making a speech appealing
for the favorable recommendation of the merchants' jury bill drawn along lines desfgned to rectify the evil condition saa they are declared to exist ln
the. state today. Among those appearing before the committee and con
demning the present Jury-system were
Edgar A. Perkins, president of the Indiana Federation of Labor; Clarence Gaumer, secretary of the federation; W. Hanna and W. C. Bobbs.
The defects in the present law were
explained at length by Noel, and he pointed out the advantages that would result should the merchants' bill pass
the legislature. Jury commissioners as
they are selected now over the state
and particularly in Indianapolis, do not
always have the best interests of the
people at heart, said Noel. He pointed
out the chances for graft.

The resolution which was offered ln congress providing for the printing and circulating of two million copies of the Congressional Record, containing the reply of the house to the president's message on "Secret Service" would seem to indicate that congress is firm In its belief that it is on the right track and confident of the support of the people. The members of congress are undoubtedly in close touch with public sentiment in their respective localities and they would not wish to put their answer into the hands of the people if they were not sure of the support of their constituents. The action thoroughly harmonizes with the attitude of the members toward the recent attacks of the president. Congress cannot be longer in awe of the "big stick." This might suggest, too, that a change has taken place in public sentiment relative to the aggressive attitude of the president on a number of national questions. Even the greatest admirers of Mr. Roosevelt now admit , that he has appeared extremely radical in everything in which he has taken a hand since election. WHAT IS CROWN POINT DOING?
What has become of the bill for a continuous vaudeville we should say continuous court at Crown Point? It seem3 to have wandered a long way
from home and got lost. Crown Point lawyers are working hard for it, too,
but they don't seem to be able to get their bill reported out of the commit
tee rooms. Or at least If such has taken place, Lake county has not yet
been apprised. Perhaps the wily Crown Point folks are taking it easy and
resting on their oars, waiting patiently for the Gary-Hammond rumpus to get
so loud that the legislature had to stuff cotton in its ears and turn to the
gentle pleadings of Crown Point for relief. Our little sister to the south of us has been so good about it all that it seems as if she ought to have some
thing to reward her. But, perhaps, she will grab off the honors yet:

that $1,000 was at one time expended for varnish for the doors of the state house, and he took that as his text
against graft, saying nothing, of course, about the cost of labor and other incidentals. He would call on a farmei

The Teamsters and Lumber Handlers' union of Sacramento, Cal., has appointed a committee to endeavor to have the icemen and the truck drivers combine with them and form one union. The carters' strike In Dublin, Ireland, shows no signs of termination, negotiations for a settlement having fallen through. A partial settlement of the malt men's strike is announced. The Municipal Ownership league, which was organized by the New York Central Labor union, and which has been permitted to slumber since the election four years ago, Is to be revived. A strong organization has been formed at Waco, Texai, to work for the initiative and ' referendum In the next legislature. This organization has the support of the farmers' unions, as
well as the trade unions. Now that the Washington (D.- C.) Central Labor union has declared for suffrage in the District of Columbia, It fs proposed by certain leaders among the workingmen that a suffrage league be formed there.
