The Jewish outlook., 1908-04-17
Olov Hasholom Judaism

Judaism has indeed accomplished a
good many things in the past, and it
should be matter of just pride to us
to know that it did so. but our pres
ent should not shame our past. The
only true method of gauging the past
is. after all. comparison with the
present. The true value of great ac.
tions in the past consists. so far as we
are concerned, solely in their ability
to call forth similarly great actions in
the present. An individual with Il
happy past and an unhappy present
merits our pity, if not our censure. A
people with glorious record of past
achievements and u marked failure in
present activities deserves conmisera-
ton. if not criticism. The most char
table epithet that can be applied t"
the Judaism of those of our different
and inactive Jews and Jewesses who
point with pride to the noble princi
pies and practices of their fathers and
mothers is - ''olov hasholom'! -

Liberalism and Tolerance in
Germany

1t is necessary from time to time to
direct attention to the religious intol-
erance of certain Liberals. 1t must b.
clearly emphasized that political Lib
eralism as it is represented in our par
ties and our press certainly does not
respond to the ideal of Liberalism,
which, faithful to the words of Fred
erick. allows everyone to become hap
py after his own fashion. In this re-
spect the Liberals initiate the Socia:
Democrats. For them, too. religion is
a private affair. But woe to him from
whose lips in his immediate circle a.
religious utterance escapes. He is
heartily laughed at-Judische Presse.

This. too. were incOnceivable if our
conduct caused any dissensiOn or
otherwise wounded the feelings of the
local Jews.
''In conclusion, IA fact that deserves
especial prominence is that the gym
nasum has been fortunate enough to
escape the laying on of the Cherem:
and you are doubtless aware that from
Franks establishment of the Lam

to evade the Cherem.
Indeed. we can with Il clear con-
science. declare. on the one hand. that
any intention of cXerting religious in

on the other. Palestine Jewry is very
sympathetically inclined towards us.

Protecting Immigrant Girls

The treatment which immigrants.
and especially immigrant girls and
women. receive while coming to this
country in the steerage and after
landing at our ports is demanding

who have been deceived and robbed
and of girls who have been betrayed
and practically forced into lives OF
vice The real danger to our repub-
lican institutions is not from the be-
liefs and ideas that our immigrants
bring with them, but from the bitter
ness and depravity that are certain to
follow when they find that the land
of liberty has proved to be the land of
deception.
The following editorial from the
Philadelphia Bulletin discusses one
method that has been suggested to
remedy existing conditions:
The proposition that has been laid
before local Jewish organization that
the government should employ
matrons for each immigrant ship to
protect girls and young women from
pestiferolsly active agents of immoral
traffic is n significant. even if not Il
practical one. 1t indicates also the
enlarged conceptions of governmental
functions many persons nowadays en-
tertain.
That the ignorant and innocent I'M
migrant girls and women should be
protected from human sharks goes
without saying The authorities. s:
far as possible. prevent vicious per-
sons from landing: with equal reason
ableness they should be at pains TO
prevent innocent persons from being
landed for vicious purposes. When.
ever one of the purveyOrs of vice cal;
be caught he should be given the limit
of the laws penalty. This is strongly
the conviction of the great body of
American citizenship.

the incoming aliens seems to pervadc

concerning certain widely circulated
rrmors. received the following assllr-
ance of their falsity:
"Replying to your favor OF Febru-
airy 10th. we beg to thank you for
your friendly attitude and for your
willingness to stimulate interest in
the Hebrew gymnasium in western
Europe. The rumors regarding IRE
ligious tendencies on the part OF our
teachers are obviously woven out OF
thin air Your supposition that the
gymnasium i'm no wise affords occasion
for the wounding of the religious SEN
siblities of the Palestinian Jews is
correct in every respect. AS matter
of fact. our relations with Palestinian
.Jewrv are of the most cordial nature.
Up to the present time, we have not
had the slightest occasion to complain
of opposition of any kind from the
Palestinian Jews. nor even of passive
disapproval The above statement
might be corroborated by Il large ar
raw of facts. from which we present
the following:
First and foremost. the constantly
increasing number of our pupils
proves that we have the confidence OF
the local Jews AS You are aware.
only fourteen pupils had been enrolled
when the gymnasium was opened.
There are now about ninety pupils in
the institution. We have had occasion.

resident at Jatfa. whose three chill
dren attend the gymnasium, advised

send his two boys to .Jaffa in order
that they might attend the gymna-
stun. 1t is obvious that the confidence
reposed in our institution might be
indeed great when father may be in
duced to withdraw his children from
an English school and send them on
so long Il journey to our gymnasium.
The following incident is perhaps not
less interesting A well-to-do, ortho-

1T should also be remembered in
this connection that the gymnasium
is the only Jewish school in Jatfa.
having an annual income of about
10000 fir. from school fees-a cir
cumstance which is most significant,
as the local Jews have been regularly
used to receive instruction for their
children either gratis, or for very
small fees. Were we to reduce the
school fees appreciably. we should not
be able to provide accommodation for
the great influx of pupils.
"As an evidence of the esteem with
which our teachers are regarded by
the local population, we may cite the
fact that nearly all of them are con-
stantly invited. in accordance with a
traditional custom faithfully observed
by local Sephardim, to address de-

DOPE F|END At WORK
IN SALVATION
ARMY HALL
ENTERS PLACE OF WORSHIP IN
PHOENIX AND ATTEMPTS TO
TAKE SHOT OF DRUG IN VIEW
OF ENTIRE AUDIENCE.

PHOENIX, October 9.--Jaek Kellogg,
a hating, trembling dope fcnd, ere.
ated CONSERVATION at the Salvation
Army hall the other evening when he
started to take q dose of morphine upon
the rostrum.
Shortly before the evening services
were to begin, Kellogg shuffied into
the hall. There were few women in
the place at the time, but he paid no
attention to them. Walking up in front
of all the seats he pulled a bottle of
some dark liquid from his pocket and
set it upon the table. With an old
safety pin he made gaping hole in
his arm. Slowly and deliberately he
filed medicine dropper from the bottle
and prepared to drop the drug in the
wound. The women sat watching him,
breathless and fascinated by the look of
terrible intentncss upon the man s
emaciated face.
One of the women, however,
thought to notify the police by tele-
phone. Just as Kellogg was dropping
the drug into his quiver;ng flesh, an
officer entered and quietly placed him
under arrest. Kellogg gathered up his
paraphernalia and went to the city
Jail.
1t is likely that an effort will be made
to send Kellogg to the asylum. He has
been dope fend for a great many
years. He lives merely to pour drugs
into his system. He uses morphine, CO.
eaine, choral or anything he can OBJ
tain. Most of the money he makes by
doing odd jobs goes for drugs. He is
now in the city Jail.
He cannot explain why he went into
the Salvation Army hall to drug him
self. 1t was merely the insane act of
mind crazed by continued stimulation.
