These Words of Cheer

President Roosevelt, in his recent mes sage to the Sixtieth Congress of the United States, has this cheerful way of expression:
 NO nation has greater resources than ours, and l think it can be truthfully said that the citizens of no nation pos sess greater energy and industrial ability In no nation are the fundamental business

aspiring soul whenever that soul in its
eagerness to rise stumbled against some
obstacle. If we only knew that mis-
take, even the gravest mistake, must be
judged by the result, as to whether it is
a stepping stone to higher life, or the
reverse; if we only knew that it is the
debit and credit sides both that show the
balance Of man s character and life; if
we only knew these and few other
things, we should have an ideal Jewish
press. Some day, ] hope, we may have
one. JACOB H. KAPLAN.

Obituary

Doctor Louis Rosenwasser who has
been a resident Of this city for the past
four years, died February 5th, at the
home of his sister, Mrs E. Wiedder, 1888
Madison avenue, New York City. The
doctor left Denver the 9th Of January,
1907 upon the advice Of his physicians,
to seek a lower altitude. The many
friends of the doctor will hear with deep
regret of his early demise. Doctor Rosen-
wasser was in the prime Of life, and has
been practicing physician for the past
eleven years and until four years ago had
a lucrative practice in New York, but
was compelled to give up the prospects OF
a bright and promising future on ac-
count of his i'll health. He is survived by
a mother and three sisters in New York,
and a sister, Mrs. H. Mehrlust, in Denver,
to whom the sympathies of his many
friends are extended in this hour Of
their bereavement.

Large Sum Realized
For Settlement Work

The presentation Of the two-act
comedy, "Mr Bob," at the Temple Sun
day, proved the exceptional talent exist
ing in the ranks of the Junior Section.
Daniel We'll as jenkins, kept the audi
ence in constant good humor. His con-
ception Of the character was intelligent
and sustained throughout.
Henry Frankel as the mysterious Mr..
Brown was very clever in the trying role.
Arthur Rapf made an engaging and con-
vincing Philip Royson.
Ruth Hornbein was decidedly pleasing
as the maiden Cady; and it is certain
had Rebecca Luke been as handsome and
attractive in her grey curls as Ruth
Hornbein, she would not have retained
her .maidenhood. Lilly Rachofsky, as
Patty, the stage-struck maid, kept the au-
dience in ripples Of laughter. Her char
acterization was worthy Of professional.
The two young ladies Of the play were
charmingly portrayed by Flossie Shrad-
sky and Dolly Zwetow. Both girls looked
like pictures and acted most cleverly.
Amy Friedman and Harold Pelton inter-
spersed the dramatic program with fine
musical selections.
Much credit for the smoothness OF the
performance is due Miss Rachel Nelson,
the able director, to Arthur Zwetow, the
untiring general manager, and to Harry
Erdman, the splendid stage manager.
The excellence of the performance, and
the cause for which it was given, the SET
tlement work in Colfax, merit the largo
amount of money made.

noritz Steinschneider

C1OT1tz Ste1uSC0ne1OeT
Moritz Steinschneider, who died in
Berlin last week, was one of the greatest
Jewish scholars Of the time. Born in
Prossnitz, Moravia, March 80, 1916, he,
at the age of six, entered the public
school, startling innovation at that time
on the part of Jewish child. In 1888,
at the age Of seventeen, he went to
Prague to pursue his Talmudical studies
and to attend the normal school there.
In Prague, Abraham Benisch began
Zionist movement which Steinschneider
joined, but from which he separated later
on because he believed the scheme was
chimerical.
He then went to Vienna to study
Oriental literature but was denied admis-
sion to the Imperial Library because he
was Jew. Later he went to Leipzig,
studied at the University, and translated
the Koran into Hebrew. In 1845 he fol-
lowed Michael Sachs to Berlin, intending
to become a Rabbi, but Sachs orthodox
tendencies dissuaded him. Instead he
became a correspondent Of the Prayer
Zeitung and reporter Of the sessions OF
the National Assembly in Frankfort.
LII 1ofo lie DeSdu Cue Catalogue VI
Hebrew books in the Bodleian library,
Oxford, and in 1859 he was appointed
lecturer in the Veitel-Heine Ephraimsche
Lehrenstalt in Berlin. From 1860 to
1869, he represented the Jewish commu-
nifty before the tribunals Of Berlin and
always protested against the Jewish
oath, Mine Judaico. In 1869 he was
made assistant in Berlin s Royal library
and until 1882 he edited the periodical
Hebraische photographic.
Moritz Steinschneider great talents
wer not devoted to theology but to show
ing what the Jews had accomplished in
medicine, mathematics, natural history
and philology. He wrote scholarly
Jewish literature from the eighth to the
eighteenth century and was the first to
catalogue the Hebrew manuscripts and
books found in the great European libra
ries. He wrote many works, the most IA
nous, perhaps, was "Die Hebraischen
Uebersetzungen des Mittelalters und die
Yuden ais Dolmetscher. (Berlin 1889.
He won the prize Of the Institute OF

Of the Middle ages and wrote easily in
Latin, Hebrew, Italian, French and Ger

Egypt, and in every land through which
they have tramped in their long and
weary marches through the centuries,
and they know from sad and bitter ex-
periences, which are not yet ancient his
tory, that it is possible to suffer and suf-
fer and suffer without being guilty Of
sin, nay, that often it is but necessary to
lull your conscience asleep, to lull your
moral fibre, to say things you do not
mean, and in general to play to the gal
lery, and your suffering is at an end,
and you may walk on or ride on the high
places Of life.
l say these things because of num-
Der Of entirely uncalled for and unkind
criticisms in many Of the Jewish papers
in the country on an insignificant Incl
dent that happened to me few weeks
ago. l wrote an article on lynching in
little magazine, The Barbarian, edited
by Christian minister and myself,
which article needless to say was writ
ten with the highest and purest inten-
tions Of doing good, but which so aroused
the race feeling of the southern people
in my city that, acting on the advice OF
unselfsh and true friends, l resigned my
position and left town.
Now, then, this is not the first time in
Jewish history that man suffers be-
cause Of his overzealous enthusiasm in
the cause Of what he considers right.
Why should this not be perfectly plain
and perfectly honorable in the eyes OF all
high minded and charactered men? Why
all this discussion and comment? There
is not stain or the slightest shadow OF
a stain cast on my public and private
life. I am quite proud of the work l
have done in my congregation in behalf
of Jews and Judaism; why should bend
my knee and bow my head when l have
done no wrong, not even in thought, to
any human being?
Granted that have made mistake IN
publishing the article, what of it? Where
is the ambitious man, the energetic, the
whole-hearted man in any cause, who has
never made a mistake? Remember it
was not a mercenary step, it was not a
breach Of confidence, it was not laxlty IN
any moral conduct, it was a mistake OF
Judgment, let us grant. Is that any
cause for the kind Of articles and COM
ments that have been written about me?
I think not. I think if we truly had
knowing and sympathetic men, at the
head of the Jewish press as Goethe says:
Vor den Wissenden sich stellen,
Sicher list s auf allen Faellen,
Auch auf Beifall darfst Du hoffen,
Dem er weiss wo du's getroffen."
