There is one objectionable weakness which Jews
as general thing, possess, and which must seem
extremely ridiculous to those .non-Jewish While
the social line is not as pronounced and indebe as
1t used to be, still the Jews and the Gentes do not
mix 1t is therefore awfully amusing how tickled
to death some of our people seem when ball or
public affair is graced by our fellow citizens of
different faith who favor our set - with their
august presence. The fact is generally overlooked
that these attendants upon public functions
generally come unattended by their wives or
daughters. But this cuts no figure When there
IS social news OF interest to the sraeites of com
munity they ignore the Jewish press if there is
any and rush into the daily paper where the read
ers thereof are non-Jewsh, and care as much about
the social movements of the Jews Bryan does of
the nations credit. Again, there are rabbits of the
land who furnish local notes relating to synagogues
to the non-Jewish press while those of their own
faith have to hustle for the smallest trihe The
hankering after public approval a sort of patting
on the back or smile of recognition from our Chris
tan brothers, will go further with some kinds of
lsraelites than the appreciative applause of a ma
ton Of co-religionists These same weak Jews can
be classed with those who keep their stores open on
Rosh Hashonah and Yom Kippur, to show the
Christian world their defiance of religious preceps
and indifference to public condemnation or worse
than all their disregard of religious pride. Orr
