practically impossible. 1t will, then, be at once apparent that the indi-
viduaist believes that competition which encourages merit and develops
skill should remain paramount. And right here the issue is made be-
tween individuaism and socialism, the socialist denying that competition
is beneficial to society.
Upon this issue, so Joined, I stand firmly in favor of the principle Of
competition. 1t is that system Of government under which we live to-
day. Under this free system of government, whereby individuals are free
to get a living or to pursue wealth as each chooses, the usual result is COM
petition. Obviously then, competition really means industrial freedom.
Thus, any one may choose his own trade or profession, or, fl he does not
like ii, he may change. He is free to work hard or not; he may make his
own bargains and set his price upon his labor or his products. If any one
has a genius for making and managing money, he is free to exercise his
genius, just as another is free to handle his tools.
! believe that it an be stated, as an established fact, that whenever
men are, as individuals, free to work, to earn and to save and use their
earnings as they deem fit, the capable, the industrious, the temperate and
the intelligent everywhere tend to rise to prosperity. The skHlful are al
ways in demand and at good wages. And remember, that a days wages
never purchased SO much in supplies as it does in the United States,
where we use the individual or competitive system of work, because high
as prices Ire, wages are still higher.
AS a further part of this summary of individualsm and competition,
let us also add the moral side, fer it is a considerable and important item.
When men labor, earn o save with perfect freedom, they develop many
moral qualities, such as patience, sef-rAiance, selfsacrifce, yenturesome-
ness, integrity, generosity and respect for others rights.

the deepest line of the basque sits
jauntily out at the hips, so as still to
retain a rather long-waisted effect.

self at the shoulder. For the dress
sleeve proper now reduces itself to
practically an epaulette-a very short
puff at the utmost-and the sleeve that
actually covers the arm to the elbow
comes out of the arm-hole as a distinct
affair, making believe, as it were, to
appertain to an under-blouse, even
though no blouse be there. This is
described as "kimono" fashion, though
with not much more exactitude than
the existing short-waisted style Is
Empire" However, the Japanese
"kimono" cut is the idea, the original
model, from which these new shoulder
and armhole effects have "evoluted;"
that Is certain. The shoulder cut all
in one with the front of the bodice,
thus giving a very long effect on the
top of the shoulder. and the extremely
wide and low cut under armhole, make
a very characteristic feature in the
new models, and fulfill the object of
our dictators, the dress-producers, in
compelling us to restock our ward
robes.
AS an under-sleeve, appearing out Of
the wide. full, and often draped epau.
letted sleeve, there usually comes, to
reach to the elbow only, a puff of
some fancy or fragile and delicate
fabric, as lace, broderie Anglaise, soft
satin, embroidered gauze, or pleated
tulle. This undersleeve is made of the
more fragile fabric, irrespective of
whether that is used elsewhere on the
dress, although, as a general rule,
more or less of the material of the
sleeve will be seer introduced some.
how. The effect of the "kimono' cut,
with the lighter sort of undersleeve
coming out of the wide armhole, is
naturally much the same as it would
be If there were a separate blouse be-
ing worn, to which the under.sleeves
belonged; and in fact this is the case
sometimes, the corsage being a bolero
without any more sleeves than the
"kimono" cut gives, and a blouse is
worn beneath, showing down the front
and as the elbow sleeves. Frequently,
however, the whole corsage is in one,
and a yoke, or a vest down the front
or only a V at the throat, is of the
same material as the sleeves, all
placed on n fitted lining with the
rest of the bodice.

senseless that they prove, far more strongly than the argu-

inevitable, and that these loudly raised objections are not in

Think of opposing to such an obviously just and simple
proposition as that a woman, who takes very much more than her share
of the toll, pain, and responsibility of existence, ought to have a share in
determining the conditions under which that existence is to be passed,
such objections as" ooh, she mustn't have a vote because she can't be a
soldier and fight for her country y or, "Womans place is the HOME,
not the political arena - or, "Notcs are only given on a property qualifca-
ton, and women have no property so they must not have votes" or,
women don't ask for votes, and don't use those they have, 50 don't give
them any more" Why docs not the cheek Of every human being who uses
such arguments burn with shame at their futnity every time he or she
trots them out? They know, these disputants, that women, though by a
their country and their race in far greater numbers, and far ofener, than
men do. 1t would be fairer and more reasonable to assert that no man
shall have a vote because no Ia a bear a child, than it is to say no
woman shall have a vote because no woman can bear arms. They know
that the home is before all others the place where the constitution Of
human society, and the basis upon which it rests, arr weighed and fash
toned and formed; and that if the views held in the home are narrow and
personal and private, the state and the states external policy will be mar
row and crude and short-ighted. They know, in their hearts, that giving
votes to men on a property qualification only is false in theory, and obso-
le in modern democratic practice, and is as seneess a it would be only
to give a vote to every man who has red hair, or to every man who has a
tenor voice; that as the only equitable, reasonable male suffrage is man
hood suffrage, Sc the only equitable and reasonable solution of this diff
Guilty is womanhood suffrage. They know that though only a small minor
hy of women used the right, now taken from them, to sit on public bodies,
and though it is only a few of the abest, most thoughtful, and most cap
able women who ask for the votes at present, that this very apathy on
woman's part is the most urgent feature in the whole situation; that the
foremost reason for giving women votes is to break down this apathy; to
educate a sex; to drag the larger half of our population out of a hopeless

Jewish Ideals
Continued From Last Week. }
III L.

Now let us put the two sides of our
picture together. In this dualism | be-
lieve we shall find the most general and
most striking characteristic of the Jew
as he is to-day. He does not seem to be
what he is. He does not conduct himself
in the world according to his convictions
and faith; he does not represent himself.
In other words, there are no Jewish
manners in the more significant sense Of
that term. What l mean may be set
forth more clearly if l make use of sew
eral illustrations. The perfection of
Greek life lies largely in it's unity and
consistency. You can study it on any
side, and you will be brought in the end
to the same underlying conception.
Greek art, Greek literature, Greek polit-
ical institutions, Greek customs and
manners are all charged with the same
spirit. In bearing, posture, forms Of adj
dress, and gesture, the Greek appears to
be what he is. In other words, repre-
sents himself. 1t is this that marks the
best manhood Of any type or age. The
chivalry of the Middle Ages was neither
a matter Of secret conviction nor mat
ter Of outward expression, but its very
essence consisted in it's being both. 1t
was manner Of expressing inner con-
victions, and an inner convention which
grounded and supported mode Of life.
1t is through such a unity and harmony
of life that ideas enter into history. The
separation Of expression and idea cannot
fail to injure both. Without being
rightly related to ideas, manners are ac-
cidental or vulgar, like the idioms and
standards of the street when divorced
from their background in tradition and
national sentiment. Ideas without eX-
preston become infected with a sort of
unVholesomeness. In the present case [
think it may be fairly said that Jewish
ideas have suffered greatly through lack
of ventilation. They have not enjoyed
enough sunshine, and as a consequence
have not had a normal growth. Mean
while, the world moves on to confirm the
divorce of ideas from expression. If one
is to act at all, one must act in the pres
ent and when ideas become antiquated,
they become irrelevant. 10 me, then,
leaving aside the actual distress which
this unfortunate people still suffer- the
most deplorable element in the present
situation Of Judaism is this lack of

The modern Jew coming into contact

held, the opportunity for social, econ
omic and political privilege The con-
sequence is almost inevitable; abandon
ing his own traditions for the sake of the
opportunity, he takes on the vulgarity
Of his time. For vulgarity after all
means lack Of background, the absence
of ideal elements in life. Almost any
adopted manners will be vulgar, because
they will be external, without any SYM
bolic meaning.
Now to my mind, it is possible to draw
perfectly clear, practical conclusion
from all this, even should it be incapa-
bic of actual realization Let me say
that | do not find that this conclusion
is necessarily connected with the ques-
ton of Zionism. There are so many
wholly convincing arguments in favor
of Zionism, that that question reduces
itself almost entirely to one of exped-

ency. But even so the question Of the
prospect which awaits the American and
European Jew who is already irrevo-
cably identified with the country of his
adoption, is left wholly untouched. How,
for example, are we to define a good
American Jew? American Jews there
will be in ever increasing numbers, what
ever be the outcome of the Palestine or
Territorialist agitation. The answer
seems clear. The good American Jew
will be the man who is a good American,
possibly better American than anyone
