I think that Will Allen White out
in Emporia, Kansas, ought to give
those fellows who are running the
Osawatomie State Hospital in that
great state of his, a pen-drubbing.
Once upon a time the famous Kansas
Commoner wrote an editorial asking,
"What’s the Matter with Kansas?”
Well, one thing wrong with it is that
it allows religious prejudice to exist
in a state institution. Maybe the of
ficials don’t know it. Since I have told
so much out of school I might just as
well go the whole route and publish
the facts that are in my possession.
If the genius of the Emporia “Ga
zette” isn’t around the premises when
this comes out I’m going to send it to
his pal, Henry—Henry Allen. Henry
was once upon a time Governor, now
he’s United States Senator. He was
a good Rooseveltian in his day be
cause I happened to he at a dinner
given for T. R. where Governor Allen
spoke, and he surely calls a spade a
spade. I don’t believe he’s changed
any and if he hears of this dumb
episode out in his state he’ll make it
hot for somebody or I’m very much
mistaken. Now let’s have the letter
without further comment.
“State of Kansas
OSAWATOMIE STATE HOSPITAL
Under State Board of Administration
“Dr. Edward M—
Chicago, III.
"Dear Doctor:
“Your application for staff po
sition in the Topeka State Hos
pital has been referred to me as
the vacancy at that institution
has been filled.
“Advise that this institution
has a capacity of 1450 patients
with an employed personnel of
about ISO. It maintains a staff
of six physicians, a full time
dentist and technician. A single
man or man with small family
preferred. The salary range is
from 2000 to 2700 with full main
tenance. Quarters for the staff
are adequate and have always
been considered satisfactory. This
is a Gentile staff and Gentiles
are preferred. If interested I
would be glad to hear from you
as to your religious faith.
Sincerely yours,
F. A. CARMICHAEL,
Superintendent.”
I have just one thing to add. Do
the tax-payers of the state of Kansas,
Jews as well as Gentile, support this
state institution? That’s quite an im
portant thing for you to know, Dr.
Carmichael!
Nothing like getting your informa
tion from headquarters. A reader liv
ing in a small community in Virginia
(or was it West Virginia?) wrote to
me asking if I could get him some in
formation concerning a Hebrew-
Christian revivalist named Jacob Gar-
tenhaus, who represented himself to
be either a Rabbi or a son of a Rabbi.
1 asked for information in this col
umn and received the following letter
from the gentleman himself from At
lanta, Ga. 1 give it exactly as it is
written.
SOUTHERN-
BAPTIST convention
Atlanta, Ga
“Department of
Jewish Evangelism,
Jacob Gartenhaus, Evangelist
Mr. Charles H. Joseph,
r *' The Jewish Times,
Baltimore, Md.
“Dear Sir:
“My attention has been called
to a copy of the August 23rd is
sue of the Jewish Times, in which
a reader of Coeburn, Ya., a>k«
for information concerning a
Baptist, Jewish Evangelist, and
since I happen to he that indi
vidual, I am happy to comply
with your correspondent’s and
your wishes and am therefore
herewith enclosing a brief hiogra-
phy of my life, published by the
Moody Bible Institute of Chirag-
“It has ever been the policy of
the editors of Jewish papers to
speak of their brethren, wh
have accepted the principles of
Christ, in a most questionable
and injurious manner, even
though many of us would gladly
give our lives if we could, by so
doing, save our brethren.
“To illustrate the fact that we
are ever ready to help our breth
ren, when Queen Marie of Ro
mania visited Baltimore, at the
time when our brethren were suf
fering much persecution in her
country, the Baptists of Mary
land were holding their annua
State Convention. 1 presented a
resolution, which was unanimous
ly passed by that body of people,
urging the Queen to use her in
fluence and put an end to such
persecution. That resolution was
published by practically all of
the daily papers in the United
States. Happily, soon after, the
condition of our brethren across
the sea improved and I should
like to think that I had a small
part.
“This may satisfy the curiosity
of your correspondent. If he. <i
any other, desires any further in
formation, I should he happ>
furnisn same.
Sincerely yours,
JG:H Jacob Gartenhaus.
