Springer laughed.
"Goldberg, you don't always tell the truth to your customer when you try to sell him a suit of clothes."
"Yes, yes, I tells dem shust the truth."
"Wait a minute, Goldberg. I was in the store the other day and you sold a fellow a suit of clothes. When he asked you if it were a new suit you told him it was. Now, I happen to know that that suit was sold to you by a fellow that was hard up and it was a second-hand suit."
"It would not have been goot bezness to tell it vas second-hand. It vas shust as goot as new."
"Neither would it be good business for me to tell the public that the Klan is getting strong. There are always a lot of people who want to go with the crowd."
The Jew laughed and slapped the editor on the back. "I see you vas a bezness man," he said.
"Come, boys, let's get to business," said Stover.
"What about the 'niggers'?" Thompson asked.
