The Jewish outlook. (Denver, Colo.) 1903-1913, 1906-11-16
Marriages..

One Of the most important causes OF
the low birth rate of the Jews is their
low marriage rate. Only about fifty
years ago an unmarried Jew was very
rare in Europe, while an old maid was
hardly to be met with in the ghetto
They then followed closely the rabbin-
ical ordinances: 1T is the duty Of
every Israelite to marry as early in life
as possible Eighteen years is the age
set by the rabbis; any one remaining
unmarried after his twentieth year is
said to be cursed by God Himself. Some
rabbis urge that children should marry
as soon as they reach the age Of pub
erty. l. e., the fourteenth year A man,
who, without any reason, refuses to
marry after he has passed his twentieth
year is frequently compelled to do so by
COURT These Talmudical ordinances
are not observed to-day by the bulk Of
European and American Jews, and their
marriage rates are much below those Of
the Christian populations among which
they live.
Taking first statistics of the crude
marriage rate, i. e., the annual number
of marriages per 1000 population, we
find in every country in Europe, where
data are available, that the rates for the
Jews are lower, as can be seen from the
following table:
The Jewish outlook. (Denver, Colo.) 1903-1913, 1906-11-16
THE Jews: A STUDY OF RACE AND ENVIRONMENT


1t must be emphasized that even
these figures do not give an adequate
idea of the low marriage rates of the
Jews, because the Jewish population
contains a smaller number of children
and larger proportion Of adults of mar
riageable ages. If statistics of the num-
Der of marriages per 1000 Jews over
fifteen years Of age, and especially OF
unmarried adults, were obtanable, the
rates for the Jews as compared with
the Christians in Europe would show
that they are not less apt to marry
than the figures in the above table in
dicate Thus it was found in Berlin
during the census of 1900 that OF all
persons over twenty years Of age the
following percentage were married:
Men, Women.
Jewish 1.62 per cent. 52.51 per cent.
Christian .6O.3S per cent. 1888 per cent.
These low marriage rates, which are
only recent social phenomenon among
the Jews, are not confined to western
Europe Even in Russia, where the
bulk of the 100000 Jews live to-day
under strict adherence to their faith
and traditions, early marriages are less
frequent than among the Christians
The poor muscular development Of the
eastern European Jews, which has in
part been attributed to early marriages.
will have to be explained by some other
causes
The Jews in Russia marry later in
life than the Christians in that coun-
try. Only 5.95 per cent of all the Jews
who married in 1897 were less than
twenty years of age, while about five
times as many Christians married at
this youthful age. Even among the
Jewesses only 27.76 per cent married
before reaching twenty, as against dou-
The Jewish outlook. (Denver, Colo.) 1903-1913, 1906-11-16

bic that number, 55.O1 per cent, among
Christian women.
We can find nothing in the above
figures which would indicate any ra-
cial influence on the marriage rates of
the Jews. In fact the evidence indi-
Gates that it is purely a social phenom-
enon. The Jews in eastern Europe
marry earlier and have a smaller pro-
portion of celibates than their co-reli-
gionists in western Europe, because the
latter enjoy on the average better
social and economic prosperity. When
compared with their non-Jewish neigh
bors in eastern Europe, the Jews have
a lower marriage rate, and have, on the
other hand, larger number Of mer-
chants, skilled workmen, ETC., whose
birth rate is lower among all peoples in
Europe. In Oriental countries, like
Palestine, Turkey, Persia, Morocco, AL
geria, Tunis, etc., where the Jews live
under primitive culture, and are en-
tirely unaffected by any Occidental in
fiuences, the Jews to-day marry very
early. Husbands at fourteen and wives
at the same age are not uncommon.
Their birth rate is also above that of
the nOn-Jewish population in those
countries, as was shown to be the case
in Algeria.
Consanguineous Marriages.
The extraordinary large number Of
physical and mental detectives met with
among the Jews in Europe has been in
part attributed to the frequency of
marriage Of near kin among them.
All available statistical evidence shows
that consanguineous marriages are
much more often contracted among the
Jews than among others. Jacobs,
adopting Sir George H. Darwin s
method, shows that in England rs

Although not very old man Ar
thur Poe German has had a longer
career in active political life than
almost any man now on the public
stage. 1t began in 1852, when at
the age of II. he was appointed a
page in the United States senate,
and runs through the war time
period. even up to the beginning of
the Roosevelt administration.
He began with nothing. He has
long been reputed to be very rich
man.
For II years from the date of his
appointment as page in the senate,
German was connected in an Office
holding capacity with that body. In
1866 he was postmaster of the sem
ate, and was removed and imme-
diately appointed collector of inter-
nal revenue for the fifth district of
Maryland. This Office he held for
three years, when he was removed
by Grant, and went home to How
ard county, Maryland. He was
elected, and reelected to the lower

He allied himself by marriage
with Henry Gassaway Davis, the
multimilliorlaire coal and railroad
proprietor of West Virginia, be-
came associated financially with
Stephen B. Elkins, son in law of
Davis, and otherwise built up the
polite financial structure which
was his strength.
He bbuilt handsome residence
and bought large tract of land at
Laurel, in Howard county, and
raised up a large family of daugh-
tiers and one son. He came to the
United States senate first in 1880
and served until 1899, when an anti
machine revolt in his state sent
him home. He bided his time and
four years later returned "vindicat-

Arthur Poe German was born in
Howard county, Maryland, March
II, 1899. So poor were his parents
that they did not even own the few
acres which they titled. His educa-
ton was begun in the country
school, and was continued after he
became page in the senate by per-
sonal reading and study.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 10
Another of the old school of Ameri-
can statesmen whose name was as
familiar to our fathers as to us, is
passing.
Arthur Poe German, senator
from Maryland, is dying. The doc
tors may prolong his life for days
and maybe weeks, but the days of
the 'fox of the senate" are few.
For months he has been confined
to his house in this city. Grip, act
ing on a frail, enfeebled body, has
nearly done it's fatal work.
In his day Arthur Poe German
was a mighty man-mighty as they
go in the day and age of machine
politics. The walls of national con-
vention halls have Numbered to his
name. and the floors have rever-
berated under the tread of his sup
porters.
In the senate his name has stood
for policies-policies which have
dawn the scathing denunciation of
the chief executive of his own par
ty, expressed in such terms as "per-
fidy" and ''treason"-and at other
times it has meant victory won by
smaller force from an aggressive
and oppressive party majority, by
parliamentary skill and tactical
finesse.
He has won fame as a leader and
organizer of men, and his name will
have a prominent place in the
