The Jewish outlook., 1907-04-19

associated with the rejuvenescence OF the
Jewish people, whose soil is the newly
awakened Jewish national idea. And in
fact nearly all Of the most interesting
developments of modern Jewish poetry,
because Of their freshness and origin
atty, belong to this well defined group.
A George Brandes may live in the de-
fusion that nothing unites him any
longer with Judaism, he may comfort
himself ever so much as a Danish Chau-
whist blood is wonderful juice, it will
not dissolve even in baptismal water.
The molecules Of his brain have re-
manned Jewish, the virtuosity OF his
style is Jewish, his analysis is Jewish,
his zeal for freedom is jewish just as
much as is that Of the consciously Jew
ish author of Conventional Lies" and
Degeneration. We will not over-es
innate the works of a Ludwig Faulda,
but will point out as characteristic that
he, the foremost mediator between
French and German poetry, overcame
naturalism at a time when the public
taste still cherished it, that he inaugu-
rated the fairy-tale drama long before
Hauptmann, and prior to Maeterlinck s
"Monna Wanna opposed the stylistic-
ally eloNducU uIdIIld SClllSCI IC 11Oi-
endrama).
But it is now time we turned to those
Jewish writer's who have not on account
of their works forgotten their people,
nor their intellectual duties toward them.
The number of conscious Jewish po-
cts. who, without working under the
banner of Zionism, apply themselves to
Jewish material is becoming ever
greater in recent years. We should look
in vain among the younger jewish
French authors for lovers OF Jewish
topics A Henry Bernstein and a Fran
els de Croisset are as~far removed from
this tendency as, say, OsEar Blumen-
thai in Germany. But England already
possesses in Stephen Phillips a drama
tist who sympathetically and success
fully works upon ancient Jewish sugges-
tions like that of Herod and Marianne.
The Netherlands has given us in Heyer-
mans Jewish dramatist who is not
ashamed to bring the Ghetto upon the
stage. Of the Polish Jewish writers,
Wilhelm Feldman, who has taken
number of tales and dramas from con-
temporary Jewish life, deserves to be
mentioned.
The most intimate and vital in this
field, excepting the nationalistic Jewish
poets, has been offered by the German
writing Jews. These are Ephraim
Frisch, and George Hirschfeld, and
above all, Jacob Wasserman, who, in his
-ko.l Il,

among the literatures Of modern ma
tions. We should look in vain for an
other nation active in literature, whose
harp exhibits so many strings and
sounds in so many idioms. The Jews to-
day write in all the Germanic, Slavic,
and Romanic languages, in Hungarian
and Arabic. But their writing promises,
nevertheless, a character peculiar only
to itself For even in this respect, the
Jews display their characteristic many
sidedness and fecundity. They have
two national languages, the Hebrew
and the Jewish.
The modern renaissance of Hebrew is
phenomenon well known to scholars.
1t is known that not only does the un-
broken stream of theological literature
flow on in this language broader than
ever before, that not only do innumera-
BILE ANIMALS, weeklies, and .dailies serve
their particular purposes, but also that
gifted story-tellers and poets again
make use Of those classic tones that once
issued from the lips Of the prophets and
psalmists. 1t is impossible to deny the
New Hebrew, which is only an enriched
-Old-Hebrew, the character of a lit
erary language.
Jewish poetry, that in the Jargon Ian
guage as well as in other languages, is
to-day promise, but not fulfillment. jew
sh criticism itself luckily prevents jew
ish literary historians and the Jewish
people from regarding the works of the
Jewish poets as revelation or as flawlesS
examples of art, or even as the acme OF
modern poetic production. In my pre-
liminary remarks 1 have dwelt not on the
superiority of the output of Jewish poe
try, but upon it's extent. This extent Is
so great, that far from intending to ex-
haust the subject, shall have to restrict
myself to a few significant indications.
The extent and especially the variety OF
languages in which this literature is
found make a proper estimate Of the lit
erary productivity Of the Jews very diff
fcult and might well cause one to de-
spair of being able to separate this pro-
duct from that of other nations. There
is, however, one consideration that will
help us in our difficulty. Everyone
knows that the Jewish literature of the
present may be divided into two parts.
that which is professedly Jewish and
that which is not claimed as Jewish, an
open and marked, a part that takes
pride in sailing under it's own flag and
another that would like as much as pos
sibe to wipe out it's Jewish origin.
It is possible to make this division even
more precise Modern Jewish literature

Gov. Sheppard Withdraws.

Gov. Ansel today received letter
from Gov. Sheppard, asking to be
permitted to withdraw his acceptance
of the position rendered him. The
governor has not yet acted on this let
ter. In fact the actual appointment
has never been made out, but when
Mr.. Martin issued his statement the
position had been rendered Gov. Shep-
pard and he had signifed his willing
ness to accept the place. The letter
from Gov. Sheppard is as follows:

ceived your favor of the 25th instant,

of every good citizen-and among
good citizens I expect to be num-
bered as long as I live-to discharge
any public duty to which he may be
assig. ID, if he feels that he is quail
fed to render efficient service.
But I notice in the papers this
morning, that your action in the mat
ter is displeasing to the State superiE-
tendent Of education, for the reason
as expressed by him that he regards
the appointment as political rather
than educational
Without taking the pains to dis
cuss the merits OF the objection thus
stated by the State perintendent of
education, I write ct once to relieve
your Excerlency from any emoarrass-
nent in reference to the matter.
II would not be willing for any con
sieeration to be the cause Of the lack
of harmony in any department TO the
public service-especjally in connec-
ton with matter Of such over
wheln3ing importance as The educa-
tional interests of the State; nor
would I be willing to serve in any ca
pac:ty with any official who feels that
the service tha; might render would
by possibility seriously iniure the
work of his department.

your Exscelieacy TO reconsider your
actor and reveke the appointment.
Than ms YOU again for the honor
conferred / remain with great respect

Volusis county is not the only county

by the next legislature. The north end
Of Dade county will also seek to sunder
the bonds that bind it to q section
where its interests suffer and desires to
be set off by itself and constituted q
new county.
The petitions asking for division of
Volusia county are being rapidly signed,
and when the campaign committee calls
another mass meeting it expects to be
IN position to give gratifying showing
of the work accomplished throughout
the county.
Petitions asking for removal of the
county seat are also being circulated, so
that if the county division matter fails
an election will be called to determine
whether or not the county seat shall be
removed.
The latter petitions specify no particu-
lar town for the county seat, but leaves
that question open to all the towns.
