Great Point in Case

Whatever his decision, or whatever
the disposition Of the land, it matters
not. The great point IS:
Can the state board of land commits
sioners or their subordinates mutilatc
public records ut Will?
Can the state board of land commits
sioners permit deliberate Justification
and mutilatIon of public records?
Are the people to be allowed to file
applications upon the assurance of the
officials that the lands are open, then
to find that some friend of some mem
bcr of the board has made an nppllca
tion which is not on record in the files
of the Office but which is given prj-
ority for which there is no application

Vinita Looked Metropolitan.

One of the most appreciated fea
lures of election night was the flash
ing of the election returns on the
street by Manly B. Updike, who was
ably assisted by the Chieftain. This
effort was very commendable and
made Vinita appear quite metropoli-
tan. A more orderly and yet demon
strative crowd would have been hard
to find in any city on that night.
Vinita can boast and that proudly
that she had as complete election re-
turns this year as any city in the
Union. Over twenty solid typewriter
pages of telegraph reports were re-
ceived and reproduced on this oc-
casion. This was the same service as
rendered to any city in America.

To dissipate any idea that the Zang

1.-THE distinguished actor, Mr.. Walker
Whiteside, comes to the Auditorium
November 16, is unwelcome to the
Jewish people, one need only to turn
to a number of utterances of eminent
Rabbis of the opinions of various Jew
lsh journals. While many Rabbis
have denounced intermarriage between
Jew and Gentle, yet a close scrutiny
| OF Mr.. Zangwilrs purpose will show
that this was not the question that
moved him at all in writing his drama
the problem o. intermarriage being in
troduced solely as a stepping stone to
something far larger and more essent-
ial. The great Rabbi Hirsch saw this.
and made it plain to those who heard
him preach on the subject of this ex-
traordinary play. Mr. Leon Zolotkoff.
the editor of the JEWS Courier OF
Chicago, wrote to the management de-
ploring the fact that so many of his
race had endeavored to read into Mr.
zangwills play ideas and theories that
were not there.
The Melting Pot,"' said he "is
nothing more than a highly poetical
of the process within
the human crucible, beautiful in form
and powerful in expression"
The American Hebrew, an infuen-
tial Jewish publication, said the play
was lighted by the intellectual fires
of God-given genius" The Chicago
lsraelite declared, "Mr. Zangwill has
the state with great and
powerful play" Rabbi Tobias Scharn-
tarber of Chicago called the plays i'm
preston "salutary and uplifting" and
Rabbi Joseph Stoly, also of Chicago.
wrote to Mr.. Whiteside saying he had
recommended the play to all his
friends.
During the long run of "The Melting
Pot" at the Comedy Treatre New
York, it was visited by the Rabbi
stephen Wise of the Free Synagogue
Who said, "If we could have more of
uch plays as The Melting Pot, the
heatre would be uplifted to its once
Ugh estate" Rabbi S. Schulman. of
