When we come to view this state

it not enough to make one feel

liefs, bacteria, disbellefs, infection,
superstition, anarchistic tendencies

one to think the future has some

The writer has never been over
whelmed with beliefs, disbeliefs,
unbeliefs, superstition and
things. He doesn't pretend to
know, neither does he care a rap,
whether the moon is made of
green cheese, limburger cheese or
sauerkraut and he knows that his
opinion would not in the least
alter any facts in that connection;
he realizes that it is not what men
profess to be or to believe that
makes for better or for worse, but
it is what men are, what they do in
their daily lives that makes the
world better or worse. Whether
or not we believe the first or last
day of the week is better or worse
than the other days or only on a
par with them, whenever and
wherever men attempt to take one
day in every seven and turn it
upside down, making it a day Of
debauchery and cussedness they
are helping to make the world
worse instead of better. Not all of
the stepped and dyed in the wool
Americans are overly good, and
while there are many good people
among those who make up our
foreign population, the majority of
those who hail from the countries
of Southern Europe and Latin
America will come about as near
making things howl on Sundays as
circumstances and the law permit.
This pessimistic picture does
not apply to those of our foreign
element who are SO largely in the

different class; their home coun-
tries form very large part of
Gods country and these people are
easily asslmilated by the native
element and make good American
citizens
With regard to Sunday, it is a

Senator Hanna was not spectacular man or
statesman He was content, apparently, to be the
panner and adviser and to let others reap the credit
and reward. Who can say how much of McKinley's
successful policy due to Hanna and how much to
Mckinley? It is known that important steps we're
taken by the President without consulting the Senator
from Ohio. He was plain and without ostenta-
ton, and what he accomplished was done quietly and
skillfully.
No statesman was ever made the object of more
insane and vindictive abuse than Senator Hanna
During the first Bryan campaign and for some time
thereafter every democratic cartoonist and space
writer in the country selected him the object Of
their rdicule and mendacous vituperation distortng
his every word and deed and in some instances not
hesitating to spread the most malignant falsehoods
regarding his private life. Three years ago 80 per
cent of the inhabitants of the Western states thought
of Senator Hanna human hog covered with dol
lar signs. Such is the power of the press. When
the country became more familiar with him and his
true character became known tremendous reaction
set in for him. and had he lived there is little doubt
but that he would have been elected president Of the
United States at some future date.

Berlin. that Goethe really did work for
the emancipation Of the Jews, and had
ordered all literature concerning the
same sent to him from Frankfurt; as
for instance the first programs OF the
first Jewish Reform institute of learning,
the Philantropin (See the pamphlet late
ly published by DR.. Baerwald and Dr.
Adler on the founding of the Philantro-
pin in 1904, at the same time l want
to make mention of the fact that great
many prominent men in America were
formerly pupils of the Philantropin.)
Riesser, who became vice president OF
the First German Parliament in Frank
furt, answered brilliantly to the anti
Semitic Menzel, regarding Goethe as the
Jewish Messiah, (see collected works, ~,
D. 1881 admitting at the same time that
the Jews, especially the ones not yet
emancipated, seemed to like Schiller bet
ter, as shown by the fact that the latter's
works are frequently translated into the
Hebrew language. Schiller's enthusi-
asm for liberty, for the dignity of man,
and for high moral ideas, strike very
sympathetic cord in the Jews. The Jew
does not idealize beautiful form nor pref
ty thought Riesser therefore regarded
those poets mostly revered by the Jews,
who were fighters for progress and free
thought, such as Schiller, Lessing, Jean
Paul, Anastasius Grun, etc. For this
reason also Baruch Iudwig) Borne was
incensed at the way in which the German
philistines treated in his time the ques-
ton of the first Goethe monument. A
fighter as Borne was, suffering as he did
under the load Of the Frankfurt ghetto
and the misery existing at that time in
Germany, he was incensed at Goethe, the
courtier and occasionally the diplomat of
the reaction. ''He looks to me like an
eagle" he said of Goethe, (Which has
built it's nest under the cave of the roof
of a tailor and such man, being a
carnivorous animal ought not, like
sparrow, eat barley, even if proffered by
the most beautiful hand.' If Goethe
was for Borne an eagle, for the Jewish
poet Auerbach he remained poet who
enjoyed his writings as poet ought to.
In February 1864, after Auerbach had
read Goethe's "Travels in Italy," he
wrote to his cousin, Jacob, in Frankfurt,

Berlin newspapers recently published
a dispatch from Chicago to the effect
that the Berlin Goethe monument would
be reproduced in Chicago The Chicago
Schwaben Verein having secured per-
mission from the sculptor of this eX-
quisite work of art, Prof. Schaper,
copy of the Berlin marble statue OF
Goethe will soon be erected in Chicago
1t is well known in the history of liberal
arts that the Jews have contributed a
great deal to the higher estimation and
better understanding Of Goethe. The
Goethe monument in Berlin would never
have been erected if it had not been for
their love of art and literature. 1t took
over twenty years since the first instiga-
ton by Berthold Auerbach, before the
creation of Schaper, which in the near
future will be duplicated in Chicago,
could be brought to completion. Great
men are also subject to the ascending and
descending streams Of fashion. At the
time of the popular Schiller cult, ."

Goethe had turned to the opposite, SUI
perinduced by the political changes of
mind Of the people.
In December, 1860; Auerbach was
asked to deliver lecture for the benefit
of the Berlin Goethe monument. At the
time, it was before 1866, Berlin was yet
provincial town, wrapped up only in
it's playthings- soldiers, but the lecture
of the Jew Of southern Germany in
whom there was seen good mediator be-
tween the contradictions of the northern
and southern German, was very well re-
ceived Auerbach at that time a strong
Democrat, wrote to his friends, che

called Goethe an aristocrat. Gabriel

a homo liber in the fullest sense Of the
word had come to the world. In this

Goethe has certainly made false as

enemies of Goethe. Nearly half Of the
now living enthusiastic Goethe students
are Jews, as for instance, Ludwig Geiger,

number of Jewish members Of the Goethe

Otto Priower, who in the Year Book has
shown the great similarities of Goethe s
works to Solomon s Song Of Song and
the book of Job, which are even in some
passages literally transposed; also Dr.
Max Morris, Jew, who has given up his
position and practice to the study OF
Goethe; DR.. Grunewald, DR.. Frankel
