called lower creatures, we will be kinder
towards one another. We will be more
charitable in thought and deed, when
we have learned our lessons of KIND-
NESS, JUSTICE and MERCY. Hu-
mankind asks for mercy, but the ani-
mals begs for kindness and justice.
Our national government is playing
their part in our humane program tow-
ards the adult, child, animals and birds.
Many wild life sanctuaries have been
dedicated to posterity, as well as, our
forest preserves for the generation that
will live on. A silent prayer for the
abolishment of "Child Labor.”

vey a humane message for the year

ANIMALS” Anniversary Week:
A CHALLENGE
By Bertha L. Meyer
Starved, beaten, (oh, grievious fate!)
Not one voice compassionate
Yesterday.
Kinder, wiser, (oh, better state!)
Many a vpice importunate
■ Today.
Justice, Mercy (oh, righteous fate!)
Every heart wjll dominate
Tomorrow.
(All Rights Reserved.)
with an advanced stage of civilization?
Oh! That such a tribunal of justice
were organized, composed of the high-
est judiciaries of the various nations,
to halt such fiedish acts, to sit in judg-
ment and pass sentence on those who
cause such untold misery, heartaches
and sorrow to innocent subjects.
The Talmud states: "Murder is not
the only capital crime committed by
man.” Is it any wonder that economic
conditions have not improved in Ger-
many, when they conscript and con-
iscate the hard earned money of those
who have slaved their entire lives to
make an honest living?
You often hear the false assertion
that all "Jews are rich.” Not in Ger-
many, God knows. These horrible con-
ditions have pauperized them, driven
them to insanity and suicide; their
children reared in this atmosphere de-
velop a strong inferority complex, which
unfits them for the battle of life.
May a better status of affairs, a
more just legislation be effected in'
Germany very soon so as to bring hope
and sunshine into the lives of those liv-
ing in the dark walls of despair!
HUMANE ECHOES
By the VOICE of the VOICELESS
The Eve Meyer Foundation, for the
Promotion of Humane Education, her-
alds the twenty-first year of "BE
KIND TO ANIMALS Anniversary,.
April 7-13. The idea of a "KIND-
NESS ’’observance originated in the
heart and mind of Henry F. Lewith
(deceased) Charleston, S. C. An
American of Jewish faith. His object?
To teach every man, woman and child
COMPASSION for ALL that lives,
for the knowledge of Kindness, given
wings, carries a humane message of
JUSTICE and Mercy to all mankind,
the birds, the animals, and every
sentient creature—even the lowly
worm.
Try never to cause needless pain to
any livihg creature. They all feel and
suffer pain. Practice the GOLDEN
RULE and the LORD’S PRAYER
Tis said that "God’s in His heav-
en, All’s right with the world,” but
to "carry on” the humane idea as a
builder of character and citizenship is
of vital importance, for along with the
education of the* head, the SUPREME
RULER OF THE UNIVERSE com-
mands an -education of the heart.
State Superintendent of Education,
L. A. Woods stated: "I am greatly
interested in Humane Education, and
we are doing what we can to instill in
the lives of the boys and girls of
Texas, Kindness to Animals.”
One of the greatest tributes that can
be paid to man/woman, and child, is
that they were possessed pf kindness of
heart, manifested to all God s living
creatures. We can all subscribe to this
sentiment, escpecially when the great
men and women of the ages past have
known thatuwe cannot have two hearts
—one for the animals, the other for
humanity, ii cruelty towards the ani-
mal*. and ctuelty towards our fellow-
man, there'is only the difference in the
victim. So let’s "BE KIND to All.
We have only to look around every
where and see the great improvements
taking place from year to year to know
that civilization is marching onwarc
towards higher ideals. We cannqt l^arn
the three fundamentals of education
without bettering our reasoning power.
For then, even those who run, may

Max Lieberman,
Jewish Artist
By Mrs. Fannie Cook
The following announcement ]
>een received from abroad:
Berlin.—Art circles throughout the
world are mourning the passing of Max
Jeberman, world famous German
Jewish painter and etcher, who died
lere at the age of 87, Recognized as
one of the greatest figures in contem-
porary art, LiebcFman resigned from
the presidenency of the Prussian Acad-
emy of Art in 1933, as a protest
against the Nazis. He had been elected'
to that office every year since the end
of the war. Although reproductions
of Lieberman’s paintings of scertes in
German beer gardens and factories
were the' favorite pictures' of post-war
Germany, the Nazis howled that "Jew
Lieberman had deformed our Na-
tional art.” Notwithstanding Nazi op-
position his body is lying in state at
the building of the Prussian Academy
of Arts.”
The oft-repeated assertion that mem-
bers of the Hebrew race are not expo-
nents of art is somewhat contradicted
by the informaiton given in the above
article, or any individual to reach the
age of 87, pursuing his art to the end,
notwithstanding chaotic conditions in
the fatherland, convinces us that ar
tists, authors, celebrities in the drama
and musical world do exist among the
Israelites. What a pity that their finer
impulses should be squelched by one
who does not seem to realize that he
is crippling the creative talents of
people in the minorities; who have al-
ways been devotees of the best in the
higher realms of. life, if an oppor-
tunity was afforded them, or may
state tha| they often rose above exist-
ing circumstances to create opportun-
ities for an outlet of their inherent de
sire for art, knowledge and wisdom
Several speakers in our midst have
recently made the assertion that there
is no persecution of Jews in Germany
because of their religion.'
Why were all the Jewish doctors,
lawyers, authors, even those prominent
in the athletic world disqualified, leav-
ing Germany, if they had sufficient
means to do so, in order to continue
with their profession? They were not
all communists, either as accused. The
Bible will tell you the Jew is a peace-
loving man, but not. a coward. Mili
tary statistics prove that more Jews
have sacrificed their lives for their
country than any other race of people
in proportion to their number.
The burning of masterpieces of lit-
erature written by Jewish authors for
no other reason than their religious
views, although "Judaism” was never
an obsession with them, contradicts the
statement given out to the world,, that
Jews are accorded civti rights and civil
liberties since the Nazis are in power.
