ceptions they have not been among
those who clamor for offices. While
in this city a jew has represented
his district in congress, while Jews
have held offices of honor and of
trust locally, while they have been
in the legislature, in the city council
and school boards and in our state
conventions, they believe In the prin-
ciple of the Office seeking the man.
In commercial circles they hold their
own and are always found in the
front rank among those who work
for municipal, state and commercial
reform.
To n Jew il due the credit of hav-
ing established the first money broker
and exchange office west of the Mis-
sissippi river. 1t was either in 80
or 81 if my recollection serves me
correctly that Messrs. Block, Man
delbaum & Carr started an exchange
Office here. some OF our largest
money institutions were founded by
Jews. In the professions Jews have
also held their own as is evidenced
by the high standing and interna-
tional reputation of one of our people
in our Missouri Medical College and
in the very extensive practice and
high estimation in which others of
our persuasion are held among the
practitioners of this and other cities
of our state. In law, in pedagogy
and in the science of architecture
they have their worthy representa-
ton on the roll of honor. In nance
and in mercantile pursuits they stand
second to none and their establish
ments compare %favorably with any
in the land. / trust this may not be

and such as are self evident, indis-
putabie and subject to proof.

THE IDEAL YOUNG MAN.

John q. Martin.
A gentleman is a MAI who is
gentle. Titles, graceful accomplish
ments, superior culture, princely
wealth, great talents, genius, do
not constitute a man with all the
attributes needed to make him n
gentleman. He may be awkward,
angular, homely or poor and yet
belong to the uncrowned aristocracy,
His face may be bronzed at the
forge or bleached in the mill, his
hands huge and hard, his patched
vest, like Joseph's coat of many
c%olors, and he may still be a true,
ideal young man. The dandy is
a dry goods sign, and not a gentle
man, for he depends upon dress,
and not upon his honor and virtue
for prospect to society. "The a
who has no money is poor; he who
has nothing but money is poorer
than he," and is not a gentleman.
Some of the most distinguished men
in the world of letters, in the world
of art have been unamiable, gross,
vulgar, ungentle, consequently not
ideal. "You are a ~plebeian," said a
patrician to Cicero. 81 am a pie
beian," said the eloquent Roman;
''the nobility of my family begins
with me; that of yours will end
with you" hold no man deserves
to be crowned with honor whose
life is a failure, and he who lives
only to eat and drink and accumu-
late money is a failure. The world is
no better for his living in it. He
wiped a teal from a sad
face, never kindled a fire upon
a frozen hearth. | repeat with
emphasis he is n failure. There is
no flesh in his heart; he w%orships no
God but gold.

In st. Louis there are a number of
Jewish burial grounds notably Mt.
Sinai cemetery and the Mt. Olive.
The former is the largest and is
kept in fine style. Within its peace
ful abodcs may be found costly
monuments and all the evidence of
affection and sorrow usually found in
cities of the dead. The Mt. Olive
cemetery is equally well kept and
gives the same evidence Of culture
and refinement, of love and piety.
Inthis city the Jews have a home for
aged and inhrm Israclites and have n
Jewish Hospital association that has
Just purchased a site on which to
erect a hospital. We have a number
of schools. lodges, benevolent and
charitable societies and all the
agencies for the relief of the
| widow, the orphan, the sick and
the needy that are to be found in
other large cities of the country.
The great influx of Russian immi-
grants to this country has brought a
great many of them to our city and
to the other large cities of the state
and a great deal Of worry, labor and
money was necessarily spent in their
behalf. To are for thousands of
people suddenly thrust upon us
through the tyranny of Russia,
unacQuaintcd with Il language,
customs, and government, to see
that they be rapidly absorbed into
the great mass of our population, to
teach them to conform to our Gus
toms, To learn the language and
practice the habits of those that
/ surround them was not an easy but n
self assumed task of the Jews. am
happy to say that we have made
wonderful progress in this direction
and in many instances the end was
attained much more rapidly than we
had ever hoped for. For several
years We have had n night school in
successful operation for the benefit
of those who worked during the day
and were willing to spend their
evenings in the acquisition of know
ledge so necessary to fit them for
American citizenship. Volunteers
We're found among US to address
them at stated intervals on the great
and burning questions of the day; on
the duties and obligations of citizen
ship and on the great necessity of a
rapid assimilation with their sur
roundings and their cheerful obcdi-
ence to American laws and customs.

over four thousand dollars and Kan
sas City, st. Joseph and other towns
in the state have contributed liber-
ally and in proportion to their popu-
lation. The Jewish merchants
throughout the state have been
solicited in behalf of this charity and
have responded in a majority Of
instances to the local Orphan Asylum
Board here. The Jewish lodges of
this city are very and
prosperous and to one of our own
citizens, to the Honorable Isidor Bush,
who by the way was a member of
the state convention that framed the
constitution under which Missouri
thrives to-day, is due the credit
of having devised the plan and the
only plan on which fraternal endow-
mcnt and benefit associations now do
n safe business and successfully and
honestly carry out the ideas which
underlie these beneficent institutions.
Every shade of religion opinion
find representation in the different
synagogues and temples of IL state.
From the orthodox who still wor-
ships rs did his forefathers of old,
who still clings to the customs, rites
and ceremonies of the orient, taking
in the so-callcd conservative re
former who aims to divest his ser
vice of n great deal of the oriental
to the radical rcformer who discard'
the shell and looks only to the ker'
nal, who believes that the habili
ments of religion may be changed
with the times, customs and enviro
meuts under which we live, every
shade finds representation in oul
state. Our temples are modern, our
services held in strict conformity
with the requirements of reason and
good taste; our minister's are mer
of education and of talent; some
NOR, and some less liberal; some
more and some less enlightened
some more and some less clannish
but all working in accordance with
their own convictions for the pro-
motion of that feeling of fraternity
which will ultimately make every
house of worship "a House of Prayer
for All Nations"
The influence of the Jews in the
development of a higher and a bet
ter life has been the same here as
everywhere else. They do not wish
to be judged on the "holier than
thou principle and they object to
being held responsible as a class fol-
the acts of the individual. 1t is a
fact conclusively shown by all stats
tics that the family life idea is very
strongly developed among Jews and
that the influence of the teachings Of
our faith is easily discernible in tho
discharge of all the duties of life by
the followers of its precepts.

WILT TO Talk ABOUT.

From tho Golden Rule.
Miss Willard says, in one of her
pleasant talks with girls: 1 once
knew a young woman who, when n
young man was presented at an
evening reception, had the temerity
(being herself n brilliant converse
tionalist, and n woman in earnestly to
make the following her first remark :
at is a pleasant evening. Every
body that you and | r interested
in is in good health as far as l know,
and / long ago ruled the personal
appearance of my friends out of my
list of subjects. In this dilemma
what shall We talk about2" Verify,
that was a brave girl, with a we'll
packed brain. The result was that
they talked of poets, travel, philan-
thropy. The young man was de-
lighted to find a woman who was
companionable, for he himself had
common sense and n well furnished
mind, and the eventual result was
that generally found in the last
chapter of the well ordered story
books.
l knew a young man, who, when
he was to spend an evening in
society, was wont to read an author
of some special interest, and then
laughingly to say to his sisters
indeed, / will admit that he was my
only and ideal brother,-"Everybody
that ! see to might shall talk about
Ruskin, Kinglake, or Tennyson," at
the case might be.

SENATOR MURPHY SWEARS OFF.

From the New York sun.
Senator Murphy, who has been an
inveterate smoker for many years,
has s'sworn off" for a while, and has
not lighted a cigar for several days.
During the ~protracted sessions of the
senate last fall, when the silver re-
peal bill was under consideration,
Mr.. Murphy smoked as many as
thirty seven cigars in n day. This,
of course, was above the average,
but the number consumed by him
daily was very large, as he often
smoked Ave or six in rapid success
sion. A short time ago Senator Vest
related in the cloak room his expert
ence with tobacco, which came near
endangering his life, and recognizing
some of Mr.. Vests symptoms as
similar to his own, Mr.. Murphy de-
cided to call a halt. Now he only
fondles a cigar; he does not smoke
it.

congregation was formed here, the
Share Emeth, which built n temple
on 18th and Pine SITS. and which for
,Wany years stood as the representa-
tive congregation of the best and
most advanced of the st. Louis Jews
and as the exponent of the radical
reform wing of Judaism. A split in
that congregation gave rise to the
formation of another congregation,
Temple Israel, which built the temple
now located on 2Sth and Pine SITS.
In addition to these there are several
orthodox temples and quite a num-
Der of places where Jewish services
are held during the principal holidays.
All of these do not, however, accom-
modate the worshipers on the great
holidays of the church and then halls
and rooms are rented to properly
accommodate those who do not
belong to any of the existing congre-
cations or who come to town for the
purpose of worshiping on said days
and who could not be accommodated
in the regular temples and synagogues
This, of course, refers only to the
Jews OF st. Louis. In the other large
towns of the state a similar state of
affairs exists and the congregations,
lodges, societies, clubs, temples and
places of worship compare with those
of st. Louis about in proportion as
the population of the ~respoctiv,
cities may compare. In Kansas City
quite Il large Jewish temple and al
influential congregation exist; in st
Joseph the Jewish population is very
prosperous and has within its rank
some Of the most wealthy anC
representative citizens of the town
In some of the smaller cities where
the population is not sufficiently
large to warrant the erection of n
temple services are held in halls and
in quite n few burial grounds have
been secured and kept at a great
outlay of time and money.
The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1894-06-21

The Jews of our state devote
themselves not only to mercantile
pursuits and to banking but to man
uf%acture and to agriculture and a
very large number may be found in
the ranks of day laborers. They are
law abiding citizens and have been
the cause of very little trouble and I
might say very little expense to
state and municipal authorities and
institutions. In point of wealth W.
find among them as large a percent
age of successful people rs we find
among those of any other dcnomin-
alton but | am free to say that a
great error exists in the popular
mind in relation to the number of
poor among the Jews. | have never
been able to find in our or any other
religion a passport or a patent to
success. The same influences which
make a Christian successful will
bring prosperity to a jew; the same
traits of character that retard pros
perity among Christians have n
similar effect OF the Jew. A peculiar
characteristic of the Jew everywhere
is the catholicity of his IDEAS, the
liberality with which he promotes
the arts and the sciences and the
spirit in which he meets and solves
the questions of the day. While
charged with being clannish no Jew
worthy of the name will be found to
make distinctions OF to draw a line
on account of creed or class when
called upon to make contributions
for the sick, the needy, the widow
or the orphan. The poor Jew but
seldom appeals for assistance to those
not of his own persuasion but the
names of rich Jews are found on the
subscription lists of every charitable
undertaking, regardless of denomin-
alton. AS everywhere else the Jews
in the larger cities of our state have
established social clubs for the pur-
pose of fostering s~ociability among
themselves, their families and their
%neighbors. In this city we are just
completing the Columbian Club on
the Lindell Boulevard at n cost Of
over $3.50, 900. This when completed
will certainly be an ornament to the
city and an institution of which al
can be justly proud. In addition tt
this the Harmonic and the Concordii
Clubs are in iourishing condition here
and the Jewish Clubs of Kansas City
and st. Joseph have on their roll o
membership the best element of thu
Jewish population in these enter
prising cities and they contribute
largely to the development of socia
life, of modern thought and of cul
ture. In politics they r SO far as
|, have been able to ascertain abou
equally divided between the grea
parties of the country. Notwith
standing what politicians may asser
, there is no such thing as ''The Jewisl
!, Vote'' and no one can properly CLAIM
to control it. Our people have at al
times been independent in their con
victions and in consequence of tn
freedom Of thought vouchsafed t
> all they have from time immemoria
been called a stubborn people be
cause they would not yield thei
3 rights or convictions or follow bliudl
without thinking for themselves
q They r extremely jealous OF thel
rights and liberties and determine
. to exercise them at any cost an
sacrifice. AS a class they are nc
. office seekers and with but few OF
