RABBI sIMoN's ADDRESS.
Talks at Eighth Street Temple on
Society and Isolated Individual.

Society and the Isolated Individual
was the subject of an address last night
by Rabbi Abram Simon at the Eighth
Street Temple. He said. in part:
DO not isolate yourself from society.
for the man who tries to isolate himself
is finally isolated by society. Do not rely
entirely on your own strength, for man
Is only unit and man Is not by himself
or for himself. II it were not for society
man could not live, eat or sleep for one
day. The man who puts himself against
society is the man who will need society
before he is through
There are three distinct classes of
society. There is the upper, Or super
social or superman. who imagines him
self superior to society: second, is the
anti-socal. or criminal class, anarchists
and the like. and the third Is the nom
social. or unfortunates. and those who are
diseased. like lepers and dependents
What has society to do with these
three classes? Do not judge your neigh
Dor until you have put yourself In his
place. In the olden times 1t was the
mans duty to judge his neighbor, and
it was out Of revenge that men were
punished. Today we judge of our Grim
inals, but it is not out of revenge that
we punish them. We have been passing
Judgment on criminals without putting
ourselves in their places Stop and look
at the crime committed from criminal
standpoint and the situation will look
different. Why do we punish our GRIM
inals and offenders? In the olden days
it was revenge that was the motive for
punishment. Today it is for redemption
and salvation. l do not seek to defend
criminals, but we should not judge our
neighbor until we have put ourselves in
his place.
Society is as much responsible for it's
criminals as 1t Is for itself. The condi-
tons that produce criminals are to be
considered by US. Put yourself in the
criminals place and you will not be so
hasty to judge. Society should isolate
criminals only until they reform"

The Supreme Court.

TO the Editor of The Star:
For the first time / am compelled to
ask the question: Is one of the coordinate
branches of our government to be abol-
ished? Heretofore l have been laboring
under the impression, possibly erroneous,
that the founders of the republic had
deemed 1t wise and essential that there
should be an executive legislative and
a judicial branch to act coordinately and
intelligently to the best interests of all
the people, but within the last few years
the enactment of laws by legislatures and
by Congress makes it questionable
whether the judicial branch is to be re-
garded with that degree of respect here
tofore prevailing, or whether its dctum
is to be accepted at ALL If contrary to the
declared opinions and wishes of labor
union or other trust magnates. AS
lover of free Institutions one who has
high regard for the inviolabie rights of
every citizen. / had been led to believe
that the Supreme Court of the United
States. was the safe harbor. no matter
how much the executive or legislative
might go astray, and | have been, there
fore more than gratified within the last
few months to see that the members of
the Supreme Court have not swerved
from their high and exalted position,
that they still retain the fearless inue-
pendence of the founders of the govern
ment and that their judicial temper has
in no wise been disturbed by the mouth
ings and vaporings of those who political
ly cater TO the mob. The sober second
thought of the American people is grand
ly and gloriously reflected in the Judgment
of the Supreme Court, and as long as we
have that ark of the covenant unpolluted
there can be no danger from within or
without.
To me il is absolutely incredible that
the representatives of labor can so far
forget the traditions and equities of the
republic. Do they not see that in pre-
serving the harmonies of the situation
and in keeping within the bounds of con-
stitutional law they are preserving their
own rights and immunities? Do they not
comprehend that in needing their de-
mands the pendulum would swing I'M
naturally. and that by their very eXac
lions they are becoming a menace not
only to others. but to themselves? This
is government of the people for the
people and by the people. the great
martyr President so grandly expressed
tanned without endangering the liberty of
any one else we are concentrating the
very spirit and life of the Constitution.
God forefend that there shall be any
legislation on the part of any constituent
body that will destroy the respect of and
undermine in any way it's power and use
fulness. Legislation, unfortunately is
too often enacted by "trimmers," men
who are afraid of an organization or of
the diCtum of some persons So-called
representative. and thus legislation is
often reversed by the courts because the
members of the Supreme Court are not
ately and calmly reflect over the whole
situation and get to the bottom of things:
and there lies the safety Of the republic.
