Modern Jewish Poetry
Continued from page 81

the most splendid example of a man one
can find. All the pure elements of the
race seem to have united to produce
him. to furnish him with all the most
precious qualities that the nation has
ever possessed: ''power and depth,
moral greatness and freedom" All the
relations Of the Jewish people to the
ideas of the present day are touched
upon in this remarkable book. The
Jews appear here as co-workers IN the
creation of the real and great trans
forming historical tendencies, but also
of the exaggcrations and parodies OF
these.
We have national Jewish poets in
western Europe who treaded on the soft
rugs of artistically decorated salons
move arstocratic circles, exchange hand
pressures with leading statesmen, and
in witty and playful conversation with
bevies of eminent beauties draw IN the
atmosphere of the intellectually and
esthetically most refined civilizations
And the minds of this seductive and
aristocratic luxury they dream, like Is
rael Zangwill, of the children of the
ghettos of poor old tortured Russian
Jewish women: they descend into the
profound psychological conflict of as
similation and of Jewish self-onsciolls-
ness, like Max Nordau in his "Doktor
Kohn,'' or Brieger Wasservogel in
Creme Richter;" they plunge into the
midst of the Jewish life of the day,
from which a new, upright Jewish race
will spring; or they paint ideal frescoes
of the Jewish state of the future, like
Theodore Herzl in the "New Ghetto
and in "Altneuland.
1t is a characteristic mark of the ele-
mental power with which the nro-Jew-
ish poetry is animated, that next to
writer's with European regulations, 1T
presents many who, like the national
poets of former times. have enriched
the spiritual treasury Of the nation with
one or few songs that meet with uni
versal acceptance and whose authors re-
main almost unknown The younger
forces of western Europe range them
selves among these, having begun very
promisingly and from them still richer
gifts are to be expected.
The healthful development OF this
powerfully mounting young jewish
poetry is, indeed only to be expected II

The Jewish outlook., 1907-04-19

The main group Of Jewish national
poets live in eastern Europe or i'll the
great, new centers that have been
formed by the Russian emigrants in
London and New York. Their literary
medium is the Yiddsh and Hebrew lam
guages and their aim is to impart to
these all the fineness, all the capacity
for modulatiOn of the most highly de-
veloped languages OF the present day.
We have among them eminent singers
like Frug, Bailik, Morris Rosenfeld;
narrators like Dienesohn, Spector Scho-
lem Aleischem, and above all Perez;
dramatists like Goldfaden, Gordin,, Ko-
brin, Asch and Pinski, whose "Familie
Zwee' has been repeatedly produced
even in Berlin and Vienna.
Closely attached to the main body of
the Jewish people which has not yet
ceased to regard itself as a separate eth
mic mass, they portray its life, its thought
and feeling, the relations and the strug-
giles between poor and rich, between the
secularly educated and the orthodox, be-
tween bourgeois and revolutionist. So
cialist and Zionist. True singers of the
Ghetto. they glorify by their song the
nameless physical and spiritual suffer
ings of those poor beings who live closely
crowded together in cellars. not knowing
wherewith they will nourish their fami-
lies on the morrow, not knowing whether
the next hour they will be massacred by
bands of murderers or will be compelled
to pmigrate to the Ghettos across the seas
those poor creatures who, in spite OF
these lnspeakable torments of the Jew
ish past, have been able to maintain
higher spiritual life.
The most typical and also the most
brilliant representative of these Ghetto
singers is Morris Rosenfeld, the Russian
Polish cheder boy, who in Holland pol
ishes diamonds, in London tailors in
sweatshops, in New York chains himself
to the car of Jewish journalism and Incl
dentally writes Jargon songs that are
counted among the purest pearls OF mod
ern lyrical poetry.
What difference between the condi-
tions of life of the poets Of western Eu-
rope and these Ghetto singers of the
East! Sons Of beggars, painfully sup
porting themselves by manual labor or
the serfdom of Journalism, driven over
the surface of the earth like leaves torn
away by the storm Of their national mis-
fortune miserable confinement, amid
crowding and wretchedness. surrounded
by self-sacrificing but uncultured women
and by the traditional troop Of children,
they sing in the scanty moments which
they steal from their nightly rest the

MARINE APPRENTICESHIP

The story from San francisco, Of the
intention of the Pacific Coast Shipping
Association to open up q system OF ap'
premiership in its various lines and serv'
ices. for the boys and young men Of the
West and to care for and educate them
to the honorable profession Of the sea,
is, we hope, true in every detail, and
that it win not be too long in maturing,
Ii is badly needed on this coast and
win serve great end once it Is estab-
lished. The sea as bona fde calling
has been far too long discredited and
ignored and there is nothing wiser than
such an effort at the rehabilitation Of
the craft. 1t is clean, healthful and
profitable and has many alluring phases
the ordinary shore pursuits lack alto
gether; and beside, it will surely raise
the standards Of the service and purge
them of some of the grosser elements
that have long disparaged the business.
1t will be boon to thousands of young
men and certainly desirable accession
to the marine interests.

HAVE THEY ERREDa

With rather a jealous regard for the
normal soundness and integrity of the
banking business of Oregon. in general
we are led to wonder if the Portland
bankers have not erred in their demand
upon the Governor for the rather radi-
cal departure OF an enforced illegal holi-
day. in which to recoup from an actual
or threatened, stress: If they have not
rather indicated weakness, timidity.
an uncertainty as unusual as it is un.
expected!
Why was it all done so hurriedly, and
without the knowledge or consent OF the
outside banks which were taken wholly
by surprise, and compelled to assume
the identical and altogether unwariant-
ed) hazards confronting the metropoli-
tan houses? 1t would seem that any
situation requiring such unusual pre-
cautions must confront the banking busi-
ness at large and not be confined to a
relatively small group Of banks in Q
single city.
We stil1 believe there is absolutely
no cause for uneasiness and that the
fnancies of Oregon and the northwest
are impervious to any existing en-
croachment; and if next Monday morn
ing shall confirm this conviction. then it
were well for the bankers of Portland
to foreswear such expedients in the
future. The Astoria situation is one Of
undisturbed calm, and only passing
curiosity exists here as to the reasons
that actuated the Portland men wher
they sought the peculiar safeguard al
the hands of Governor Chamberlain.

RIGHTS OF FREE SPEECH.

The Socialists of Seattle have been
absolutely forbidden to address the pub
lie on the thoroughfares of that city
under penalty of Imprisonment and fine
imposed by the minor code of the muni-
cipality. We are not at all socialistic
that we know of, but this looks very
much like fragrant denial Of the con-
stitutional right of free speech. 1t is
not altogether matter of personal
preference or prejudice, this forbidding
something that is guaranteed by the
organic law of the land, and if the
Socialists of the Sound metropolis shall
follow the lead of their Los Angeles
brethren, taken some years ago, the
police authorities will find out thing
or two of which they are apparently
ignorant.
No man may preach sedition nor de-
clare treason nor other disloyal doc
trines, publicly, nor privately for that
matter; but we doubt if any man may
be estopped from using his tongue and
brain in the candid expression of his
views upon civic policies, industrial
dogmas and social problems. The prov
ince Of such public discussion is not
confined to the press and rostrum of the
country, for there are conditions under
which neither the one nor the other are
available. And every attempt to gag a
man, or a body Of men, reacts sooner, or
later. in favor of the element and prin-
ciple sought to be suppressed. History
has proven this in thousand instances
and is likely to repeat itself.
