-iv-yvMrss Bertha Rayncr Prank, sister
4. 'pfVuhilod Stntes Senator Itayner, of
Mar,y)and, was compellec. id) leave a
hotel at Atlantic City under clrcura
.; stances disgraceful, shameful and
' offensive to avory American with any
sonso,of manliness or fairness.
Jhe story (s this:
Mrs. Frank was stopping at the
Marlborbugh-JBlonheim hotel at At
lantic City.
Her two nieces wore coming to
stop with her, and she notified the
hotel that she would require room
for them. She was asked If the
nieces word Jewesses, and when she
said that they wero, she was in
formed. that the hotel "did not want
Jows."
Thereupon Mrs. Frank, who Is
herself a Jewess, promptly left the
liotol. It Is a pity that every self-,
respecting man and woman in the
place, Jewish or Christian, did not
leave at the samo moment.
If the man who owns the hotel Is
responsible for this insult to a wo
man, and to a religion, his business
should be ruined, and he himself
should bo made to know that there
is an actual meaning to New Jer
sey's law which punishes with fine
or imprisonment an offense such as
that committed against Mrs. Frank.
A man who would personally or
through his agents insult a Respect
able woman and that woman's re
ligion Is not fit to bo in business in
any civilized country, and an ordi

' v" v Belching of Stomach, Gas,
or any of these forerunners of Indigestion
appear, Old Dr. Cascaret wants to be right
on the spot in your pocket.
Dr. Cascaret guarantees to cure the
most obstinate cases of Constipation and
Indigestion, without discomfort or incon
venience. His medicine does not gripe nor purge,
but exercises .naturally the muscles that
line the walls of the Intestines and Bowels.
'
Want of Exercise weakens and relaxes
the Bowel -Muscles, just as it weakens
Arm and Leg muscles.
Old Dr. Cascaret goes directly after
these Bowel-Muscles. He wakes them up
just as a cold bath would wake up a lazy
person.
Then he works - them (through the
nerves) till they get so strong from that
Exercise that they don't1 need any more
help to do their dutyi
Heavy dinners, late suppers, whiskey,
wlno or beer,drinking, nervous excitement,
sudden exposure to cold or heat and a dozen
other everyday likelihoods tire the Bowol-
' Muscles.

nary jail would bo too good, for him.
Mrs. Frank, the victim of this in
sult, is of the highest character, one
whom every man should gladly treat
with honor.
She has dovoted her entire life
and all 'of her fortune to helping the
poor.
After her husband's death she dis
tributed his fortune among various
charities, treating all allko, regard
less of their religion.
Her father's home in Baltimore,
a beautiful residence, she has made
into a homo for nurses. To one
hospital she gavo $75,000. Every
charity of a non-sectarian kind in
Baltimoro has been helped by-v her.
And this is the woman who is
told that peoplo of her kind are not
wanted in a" hotel.
Unfortunately It Is not possible to
put the blame 3r this disgrace en
tirely upon the individual . hotel er
the hotel proprietor. It is a fact
only too well known that certain
classes of Americans, usually the lit
tle, second rate, would-be respect
able nobodies, encourage discrimina
tion against Jews.
This discrimination is usually
found in the least desirable places,
the second rate resorts, boarding
houses and hotels.
People that haven't brains enough
to be successful in anything else
often try to emphasize their "re
spectability" by an affection of su
periority to somebody -better than
themselves.
Of cource, the views of the would-
be, cheap, little "respectable nobod
ies" are not important. Such trash
couldn't insult anybody if they tried.
It happens, however, that here and
there men of real importance, indi
viduals otherwise of decent charac
ter, permit themselves to indulge in
these ill-mannered and disgraceful
displays of race prejudice and relig
ious prejudice.
A shameful incident such as that
at Atlantic City reflects upon the
country and upon the respect for
law. A man has a right to do as he
pleases in his own house. He can,
if he choose, keep out his own moth
er's sister, if she doesn't dress to
please him or if he doesn't think her
quite "respectable" enough.
But, in public hotels, public re
sorts, protected by the law, and
licensed by the law, there should be
enforcement of the law.
All good American citizens of
manly instinct should take a hand
in this matter.
An insult to a decent woman is
an insult to every self-respecting
man, and it ought to be possible
to arouse such a feeling as would
make the guilty hotel owners and
others feel a pain in their only sen
sitive spot, which is the pocketbook.
The time has gone by in the Unit
ed States for shameful nonsense of
this kind. Every American with a
sense, of fair play will denounce a
cowardly, shameful, disgraceful, un
American and unmanly form of
blackguardism that attacks, simul
taneously, woman, religion, charity,
decency and fair play. New York
Evening Journal.
at' the age of 21, .when most boys
are just wondering'' whether' they
will be able to get into or through
business college, he was inade the
assistant district attorney of Tulare
county. There he gave the first in
dication of his uncompromising hon
esty and his quick appreciation of
the difference between acknowledged
wrong and struggling rights.
The people of Tulare county sent
him to the assembly in -1892, and
at onde thestate knew that the San
Joaquin had sent into public life a
foremost orator and legislator. He
made the nominating speech for
Stephen M. White for United States
senator, and became the admitted
leader of the lower house.
In 1894 the democrats put him
forward as their "forlorn hope" can
didate for congress in the Seventh
district. When he was defeated his
opponents vied with his friends in
acknowledging the brilliancy and
fairness of his canvass. The next
campaign he became chairman of the
democratic state central committee,
and when he later moved to San
Francisco District Attorney Lewis F,
Byington was eager to make him his
foremost prosecutor.
In the court of Judge William P.
Lawlor he made an enviable record
as a fighter for the cause of law, and
ho showed such balance and char
acter that in 1902 he was elected
to the state board of equalization
by a handsome and complimentary
majority.
As a member of that board he was
"faithful among the faithless, faith
ful only he.".
He never saw a wrong that he did
not try to right it; he never knew a
right that he did not make of him
self its champion.
WILLIAM II. ALFORD
The following is taken from the
San Francisco Examiner:
William Hays Alford, one of the
greatest public servants that Cali
fornia ha.S eyer known, is dead, His1
death was the result of an operation
for appendicitis at the French hos
pital, and it will be a shock to the
entire community.
Mr. Alford has always seemed the
perfect type of health. He was a

THI TRIAL AT BOISE
Misfortune piles on misfortune at
Boise, Idaho, where the first of the
three- officers of the Western Federa
tion is now. facing a jury. It was
bad enough for President Roosevelt
to announce just before the jury
was selected that in his opinion the
prisoner at the bar was an "unde
sirable citizen." That statement
coming from so high a source could
not help having an Influence on the
jury which was to try the man.
With his usual obstinacy, the presi
dent declined, to admit his error and
to the just criticisms to which he
was subjected wrote a new letter of
denunciation of the men about to
be tried for crime while disclaiming
auy nt.empc ro .influence the jury.
Now it appears that Governor Good
ing, who issued the extradition de
mand on the governor of Colorado
for the man about to be tried on
statements which he knew to be
false and perjured, has brought him
self within the notice of the presid
ing judge in the case for his im
proper, attempt to give more credit
to the principal witness for the state,
Harry Orchard. It appears that this
man who confesses that he killed
Governor Steunenberg with a bomb
has been living on the fat of the
land. He is a pampered pet of the
prison warden, and while he has
been carefully secluded from the
world up to this time, just a tu

and write to, the newspapers that
reach the jurymen an account o
how greatly changed and roformS
this cold-blooded assassin has T
come. He now spends his time in
reading religious books, and is l
longer the. ruffian that he once J!,
the jurymen are told. The evident
intent was to make his tale mow
readily believed by the jurymen that
read this higlily colored statement
No wonder that the presiding
was shocked. The officers of the
state In Idaho from first to last of
the preliminary proceedings in this
case have done' their level best to
create the impression in candid
minds that they are actuated by un
fair motives in this trial. The ex
traordinary and unusual methods
adopted in the interest of justice
create this impression. One of these
measures is the passage by the last
legislature of a law that reduces
by one-half the number of chal
lenges allowed the defense in crim
inal. cases. "While the prosecution
deny the allegation that this new
law was made specially to cut down
the chance of the Western Fedora
tion officers accused of crime in se
lecting a. jury that was satisfactory
to the defense,, yet there is little
doubt that this was the motive he
hind the change in the law last win
ter. Again it is certainly a strange
and unusual thing to find the chief
counsel for the prosecution himself
under indictment for a crime on the
finding, of a grand jury which sup
pressed the service of its indictment
till: he bad finished the case. Great
Falls (Mont.) Daily Tribune.
-HE WAY OF THE CHILD
A small boy who had recently
passed his "fifth birthday was riding
on a suburban car with his mother,
when they were asked the customa7
question: "How old isthe-oy?"
After being told the correct age,
which did not require a fare, the
conductor passed on to the next per
son. The boy sat quite still as if pon
dering over some question, and then,
concluding that full information had
not been given, called loudly to the
conductor, then at the other end of
the car; "And mother is 31."
