il viii make amends for it's neglect BY
being hosts of the fraternity's greatest
meeting
He said Washington belongs TO Amer
lea, and that nowhere is the progressive
influence of the Hebrew race more keenIy
appreciated than here.
Hebrews Good Citizens.
You are citizens of the highest type"
he continued "and it is due to the efforts
Of men such as those who are in your
ranks that the Hebrew race has forged
to the front in every walk of life. Jews
are good Americans, and in the literary,
financial, and political standing of our
country We can ever see the handiwork
or the progressive Hebrew.
You are welcome to Washington. We
open our doors and our hearts 10 you,
and anything you see that you think you
want. just ask my young friend Simon
Wolf for it and you'll get 1t. He usually
gets what he wants when he comes down
TO see US at the District Building. and
We Commissioners are used to obeying his
orders. so don't be backward about
tackling him"

TO the empire or the Caesars. and that
its citizens are such as should live In a
glittering capital of a powerful nation
not yet stripped OF the sInews Of youth.
He read cablegrams from European
lodges, which were acknowledged by res
Dlution.
As temporary chairman, Judge Josiah
Cohen Of Pittsburg, who will probably

city, mounted the platform and discussed
the business that viii occupy the con
Vention during its sessions here.
