Smallest boy is Max Schwartz (8 yrs. old) and Jacob Schwartz, 163 Howard St., Newark, N.J. Sell until 10 P.M. sometimes. Location: Newark, New Jersey.

The image shows a young boy dressed in a dark overcoat, tie, and hat. He is standing next to a stack of newspapers or pamphlets. His expression is neutral, and he appears to be posing for the photo. The setting suggests it could be a public area, possibly near a market given the presence of the newspapers. The image does not provide any indication of the time period, so it's difficult to estimate the years in which this picture might have been taken.

Max Schwartz (8 yrs. old) and Jacob Schwartz, 163 Howard St., Newark, N.J. Sell until 10 P.M. sometimes. Location: Newark, New Jersey.

The image appears to be an old black and white photograph. It shows two individuals, one male and the other female, standing in front of a store with the sign "The News Launch." The woman is holding a newspaper and pointing at it, while the man stands next to her, looking towards the camera with his hands behind his back. Both are dressed in clothing that suggests a formal occasion or professional setting. In the background, there is a potted plant visible on the sidewalk. The text "Max Schwartz (8 yrs. old) and Jacob Schwartz, 163 Howard St., Newark, N.J." indicates the subjects of the photograph and their address in Newark, New Jersey. Additionally, the text "Sell until 10 P.M. sometimes." suggests that this location may have been open for extended hours on some occasions. The image likely dates to the late 19th or early 20th century, as evidenced by the style of clothing and the photograph's overall appearance.

Smallest boy is Max Schwartz (8 yrs. Old) and Jacob Schwartz, 163 Howard St., Newark, N.J. Sell until 10 P.M. sometimes, photo by. Location: Newark, New Jersey

The image is a black and white photograph featuring two individuals, likely boys or young men. They appear to be standing in front of a group of people, possibly spectators or an audience. In the background, there's a visible sign that reads "Sell until 10 P.M. sometimes," suggesting a temporary setup or event.

The photograph is labeled with text that includes names and an address: "Max Schwartz (8 yrs. Old) and Jacob Schwartz, 163 Howard St., Newark, N.J." This indicates the subjects of the photo and their location at the time the picture was taken. The sign in the background is partially obscured by the people standing in front of it, making it difficult to discern all the details.

The image has a vintage appearance, which could suggest that it was taken some time ago. The clothing of the individuals, the style of the photograph itself, and other visual cues can provide clues about the era in which this photo was taken. However, without additional context or information, it is not possible to precisely date the picture within a specific range of years.

Jacob Schwartz
a little known martyr

Jewish Russian emigre, member of the BookBinders Union, and anarchist

murdered by the police in 1918 as his comrades faced imprisonment and then deportation under the sedition act for their anti-war actions.

Jacob Schwartz, Jacob Abrams, Samuel Lipman, Hyman Lachowsky, and Mollie Steimer were arrested the night of August 23rd for distributing Yiddish and English flyers denouncing US military intervention. Schwartz was beaten so badly, his comrades feared he was already dead.

The day before the trial was to formally begin, Schwartz died in Belleview hospital. His last words were found, unfinished, in his cell in the Tombs:

"Farewell, comrades. When you appear before the court I will be with you no longer. Struggle without fear, fight bravely. I am sorry I have to leave you. But this is life itself. After your long martyr ---"

As the trial opened, the defendants all wore black armbands and their supporters wore white buttons with Schwartz's face which had been hastily printed the night before. His funeral procession buried him in a simple pine box on the 17th.

A rally to mourn and celebrate him occurred on Oct 25th attended by 1200. It began at nine in the evening and lasted for over two hours, ending with attendants pouring into the street singing revolutionary songs. Over $378 dollars was raised on the spot for his widow Florence.

Abrams, Lipman, and Lachowsky were sentenced to 20 years each and a 1000 fine. Steimer was sentenced to 15 years and a 500 fine. Their lawyer would later secure their release on the condition of their self funded deportation to Russia.

Mourning rallies continued for Schwartz for a number of years....but they slowly stopped and the memory of him has waned.
The trial itself would come to be known as the Abrams case and become one of the most significant first amendment cases in the us courts.

also if you're interested, the top page was taken from the pamphlet "Sentenced to Twenty Years" which was released by the Political Prisoner Defense and Relief Committee comprised of anarchist comrades of the defendants.

Toki Pona is a "maximally minimal" language. It was constructed with only 120 words and with only the simplest to pronounce sounds. Toki Pona tries to follow the Taoist philosophy that "simple is good." In order to lead a simple life, one needs a simple language; or perhaps a simple language will lead to a simpler life. Whether you accept the philosophy or not, Toki Pona is fun to speak.
