Religious War?
Coolidge and tf heat.
Both Going Up.
Will Workmen Pay?
By ARTHUR BRISBANE
v____'
The first sign of religious war
iu the next election comes in Louis
Seibold’s statement that Tammany
Hall, the big power in New York,
believes that prejudice against Gov
ernor Bryan will injure John W.
Davis.
According to Seibold, Governor
Bryan is accused of a leaning to
ward the klan. This means that
he will be unwelcome to Jewish
and Catholic voters.
If the religious fight is to be
carried from the convention into
the election, the democratic pros
pects will be slim.
Apart from that, our watchful
friend, Cyrus H. K. Curtis, an
nounces that the rising price of
wheat is cutting deeply into La
Follette’s vote, bringing the farm
ers back to Coolidge.
December wheat closed at $1.29
last night, September made a new
“high,” and probably all grains are
going higher, as you were told here
some time ago when they were
much cheaper.
A religious fight inside the demo
i ' cratic party and high prices for
grain will enable President Cool
idge and his managers to sleep
sweetly.
La Follette won’t he bothered
with any official notification. He
knows he is nominated and is at
work. His friends call upon work
men’s unions to supply money for
the campaign.
Will they do it? The answer is
doubtful.
Workmen know that La Follette
cannot be elected. That is out of
the question. If they choose to
give him a big vote, it may throw
the election into the house and per
haps thence into the senate.
La Follette could not be elected
in any case. How much money
will the unions vote for the sake of
a “fine gesture,” knowing that they
can’t win?
Battles ahead for the Ku Klux
Klan. Mayor Schwab of Buffalo,
N. Y., supreme general of the Cath
olic order of the Knights of St.
John, urges the knights to
"strengthen their military organ
izations for their fight against the
klan.” -
It ought to be possible to rely
only on the military organizations
of the United States and on the po
lice. But, asks Mayor Schwab,
"What can you do if you are at
tacked?”
a The mayor lists our six national
greatest evils as follows:
Divorce, race suicide, pubic dance
halls, the drug habit, the hip
pocket whisky flask and immorality
made easy by the automobile.
For the Ku Klux he has a depart
ment all to itself.
Four men were put to death by
electricity within 40 minutes in the
state prison of Trenton, N. J.
One of the four to be killed said:
"I wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t
spent 10 of my 23 years of life in
public institutions. He prob
ably told the truth.
The Jewish system that sends
children to be brought up in indi
vidual homes, or( that, better still,
supplies money for them to be kept
with their own mothers whenever
that is possible instead of herding
them in institutions, has shown our
“civilization” what it ought to do.
“Courage” has a thousand defini
tions. The French says it is pos
sessed by Miss Uminskia. She' was
in love with Zeysmonski, Polish
writer, in a Paris hospital. When
he suffered intense pain, she gave
her blood to be transferred to his
body. That was brave. But as he
continued in agony and the doctors
said his case was hopeless, the
young woman got a revolver, and
when he was not looking, shot and
• killed her lover.
French enthusiasts say that is the
height of courage.

Two other little children In the
family.
Father out of work for many
months. He is a cement finisher. The
odd Jobs he has been able to find
and do in his poor health and the
poorly-paid toll of the mother over
the washtub haven’t been sufficient
to cope with the cost of milk which
the children, especially tiny Carl,
need.
The Free Milk and Ic# fund haa
come to the rescue and there la hope
of pulling the little mite through If
there is enough support to the fund,
for there are dozens of other
emaciated Infants who must have
milk daily In hot weather.
Mrs. Marie Anderson is the visiting
nurse, holding Carl.
Every cent contributed goes to such
cases and no one gets any pay for
distributing the milk except the milk
man. Your charity Is 100 per cent
effective here. %
Give if you possibly can. Yours
nmy be the privilege of saving some
little "Carl" to a life of Joy and use
