People sometimes ask why 3,000,000 Jews can control the affairs of 100,000,000 Americans. In the same way that ten Jewish students can abolish the mention of Christmas and Easter out of schools containing 3,000 Christian pupils. In a nation and at a time when a minority of Jews can print every year a record of the apologies they have extorted from public officials for “having inadvertently used the term ‘Christian,’” it is desirable that this charge of “religious persecution” should be placed where it belongs. In the _Daily American Tribune_, a Catholic daily published at Dubuque, Iowa, appeared a recent headline which said a great deal—_Not Persecution of The Jews, But Protection of The Christians_. It is now proposed to let the Jews speak for themselves on this question. The Jewish press has been searched for an authoritative expression charging that the study of the Jewish Question constitutes “religious persecution,” and none has been found. That cry has been reserved for “Gentile fronts” for use among Christians. All the attacks from the Jewish camp are against the doctrines and institutions of the Christians. They have carried on an insistent and successful persecution, and the details of it have filled the Jewish press for years past. Upon reading the following selections, the remark of Dean Swift will probably come to mind: “We are fully convinced that we shall always tolerate them, but not that they will tolerate us.” _The Red Cross is objectionable to the Jew._ H. Lissauer, in _The Jewish Times_, proposed that the Magen David be substituted for “the red cross” on the Red Cross Society badges worn by Jews. “We should not let our sensitiveness to charges of intolerance overcome our conscientious religious objections to the cross,” says Mr. Lissauer. The editor of _The Jewish Independent_ thinks the suggestion “is worthy of serious consideration.” _The Gideons are objectionable to the Jew._ The Gideons is the name given to the Christian Commercial Travelers’ Association of America, whose efforts are responsible for the Bibles which are to be found in most hotel rooms. This is from the Cleveland _Jewish Independent_: “It is quite evident that the Gideons do not know a typically Jewish name when they see or hear one. The Gideons’ object, according to their letterheads, is ‘winning commercial traveling men for Christ’ and the way this is done is by placing a Christian Bible in each guest room of every hotel. “The Gideons have been at it a long time, long enough to know better, but the other day they sent a letter to Max Cohen of this city, who is a traveling man but the kind the Gideons have no right to ask for funds, and the person who selected him for an ‘easy mark’ certainly should have had better sense.
