occurs that women
are blamed for all the fads which in
these days infest society, stultify the
senses. and attempt to crush reason.
These cults are largely the result Of
Over-emotionalism 1t is the general
opinion, and indeed quite conclusive,
that women are naturally emotional
and the stress of modern life finds
some peculiar outlet. But men are
equally demonstrative of emotional
alteration which finds vent in eX-
travagant offices. OF course. these
cults are apt to become injurious for
the time being. but they are very soon
east away when the limit has been
reached. And often this limit is
reached without accomplishing COM
plete arrangement. AS in all things

clubs are not all evil, though in
great number of eases. their transient
existence may be to some extent in
furious. OF course. it is unwise for
too much time and thought to be de-
voted to these agencies which are not
all cultural Yet these clubs have
been distinct force in the improve
ment of private and public morals
That some have exceeded their intent
is unquestionable. There still exist
too many clubs whose highest aim is
to encourage the game of hazard by
making "A material reward the goal of
its efforts. This. however. will have
its day and will eventually give way
to more wholesome and more prac-
teal endeavor. The women them
selves will effect the necessary
changes. Their influence is largely
healthy. and they will see to it that
nothing will be wanting to continue
1t so. We are going to have mothers
and wives in the noblcst sense of the
word. without which nation must
indeed disintegrate and dissolve.

TheJew Of
the Future
Some two months
or so ago. Jacob
Schif visited Lon

don. England. on his way back from
Palestine and submitted to an inter
view with II correspondent of the Lon
don Jewish Chronicle. After some
remarks about Palestine. the Russian
problem was touched upon. Our
American. philanthropist declared
himself both non-Zionistic and non
ltoistic. and declared that if the great
Jewish problem could not be solved
in Russia because of refusal To abol-
ish the Pale of Settlement. the only
way out would be the United States.
In this cventuality. he suggested the
formation of Jewish settlements of
twenty thousand souls apiece. seat
tered throughout the states of the
Union. and we would believe-cs-
pecially the sparsely populated dis
tricts. The danger here would be
the formation of Ghettocs and the
continuance of Russianism. and con-
sequently the prevention of Amer
icanization. Such II scheme would
further conducc to anti-Semitism
rather than allay it. And another
thing. it would not completely solve
the Russian problem which is hercu-
lean. If his scheme were possible and
were cut into effect. the religious and
moral effect would be nil. he would be

the making of the Jew of the future

Jacob Schitf correctly told his Anglo
Jewish friend-who cannot fully com

since it is doing most orthodox work

Rabbi Nathan krass. of Lafayette.

the fact that the Rabbis are receiving

ing the fact that some Christian sects
would Christianize all our American
