THE Triangle" (Steeg Printing and
Publishing Company, 93S Lafayette ST,
New Orleans, La is peculiar book,
in SO far as it treats a problem of mod
ern making with the facts of Jewish
life and Hebrew literature. The story
reyolves about two Southerners who
make their home in New York City and
attend the same university. The love
episode carries, the reader back to the
days of Moses Mendelssohn, while The
rigid mathematical demonstrations of
the philosophers in the realms Of eth
les and religion are the subject of dis
Ncussion between these two students of
the South. We have all read of the
bashful professor who would not ask
the father Of his sweetheart for his
daughters hand. So finally the girl
asked the father. He takes a piece Of
paper and writes on it some words;
pins it to the back OF his daughter Re
turning, she tells her bashful lover that
the answer is on the piece of paper
and, turning around, he reads; with
the compliments of the author. TO
use philosophy for love making is a
novel departure"

An effort is being made to raise
funds for the erection of a monu-
ment in the city of Washington in
memory of Jew.
We who are so fortunate as to live
in this great country and be part
of it, should ponder over this, and
make inquiry as to the reason for such
a tribute and by what right the mem
DRY of Jew should be so firmly es-
tablished
Our children in their first study of
American history find nothing to APP
prise them of the activity of our CO.
religionists for. freedom during the
revolutionary PERIOD nothing to fill
them with pride of our people upon
reading of Washington, Madison, La
fayette and others who hold their
place in the hearts of the American
people, and while they all glory In
the names of those illustrious sons
who gained freedom through terrible
struggles in a trying period, yet the
histories do not record the name of
any Jew, and yet historical facts now
before us show how history has failed
to do justice to one who was a prime
mover in the revolutionary cause and
a great factor in it's success, and
among those must be placed the name
OF Haym Solomon.
Let US go back to that period, and
what do we find First, that Jews
we're among those Iaboring for free.

The final program Of the Fifteenth
Annual Summer Assembly Of the Jew
ish Chautauqua Society has been COM
pleted and from its contents should
insure very large attendance. Imme-
diately following the meeting in Mil
waukee, the society will move its ex-
tension of work to the Pacific Coast
and will hold the first Western Sum
mer Assembly in San Francisco, CAL,
August 4th to 8th. This is a great
method of unifying and centralizing
Jewish educational effort and the
means of bringing perhaps the first.
national Jewish organization to the
coast. A party will leave Milwaukee
after the assembly direct for the coast.

tions we're placed upon those who pro-
fessed the Jewish faith.
Second, that it is now conceded that
without Jewish help the cause would
have suffered, and if not defeated, at
least delayed and prolonged with dis
astrous effects.
To aid the movement for monu-
ment and recognition, there has been
published volume entitled, "Haym
Solomon, the Financier of the Revolu-
tion," by Rev. Madison G. Peters,
which is truly an unwritten chapter in
American history The funds from
the sale of this volume will be used
for the monument fund in connection
with offerings from organizations and
individuals throughout the land.
The author details the life of Haym
Solomon, carrying him through early
days to his arrival in New York, of
his arrest, Imprisonment and death
sentence and his escape, of his i'm
mediately rendering his serviceS to
the Continental Congress, of his be-
coming one of the greatest financiers

mon acting for several foreign finan-
cial houses, of his great advances to
the cause of his fortune and his aid
and assistance to Morris, then Secre-
tary of Finance of his continued aid
to Morris in all large problems rela-
tive to finances for the cause of his
assistance to Madison, Randolph and
advancing sums to sustain
those laboring for the cause and recog-
nizing their ability, without any hope
of reward or return of the advances
made; when it is realized that his
advances during that period aggre-
gated over $6O0O00.O0, in addition to
large advances to different leaders
and workers, and no portion of which
has ever been repaid to him or his
heirs, we must agree with Rev. Peters,
who says:
America has honored these pa
triotic men, and justly so, by high
places in her history, and as we sing
their praises we are inspired with the
invincible determination to give our
to our children as we got it
from our fathers, free and independ-
emit nation, but this man, Haym Salo-
mon, who, renouncing the maxim of
worldly wisdom which says, Get all
you can and keep all you get" gave
all he had to the cause of America,
gave it in a crucial moment when
had he kept it, he could have made

1t is in memory of this man that
efforts are being made to perpetuate

capitol, that all people of all countries
may see that the memory of Jew
whose nobility of person and heart
receives a fitting tribute from the
hands of the American people; that
the prejudice of that period is cast
aside and has disappeared in this land
of the free, and not only do we find
liberty and freedom of religious
thought, but honor done to the mem
DRY of those who are worthy of honor.
That the mist of the past has cleared
and we behold a future recognizing
that all men are created equal.
This volume should be in every
home, should be placed in every pub
lie library, that all may read of the
great work done and the sacrifice
made by Haym Solomon; every Jew
whose thoughts are of his people
should respond and not only read him
self but spread it as literature worthy
of being read, and be proud of the
ownership of volume doing justice to
q Jew
Madison C. Peters has given great
thought to the Jewish people as tes-
titled by his volume "Justice to the
Jew" and his present compilation of
facts about -Haymn Solomon should
make him grow in the estimation of
our people. This book is not sold for
his benefit, but proceeds from the sale
are for the monument fund, and the
nominal price charged should receive
ready response from every man,
woman and child of Jewish faith; it
they might know of the great work
performed by Jew for libetry, not
of our people, but liberty for the peo-
ri oFN ;rbT
what it has developed into, from shore
to shore and end to end-a place
where liberty reigns and free and
united people live and enjoy peace and
plenty; that they might learn and in
turn to teach their children the great
part Jew played in its early history.
All glory to the name of Haym Salo-
mon, and may we soon see the monu-
ment raised to its full height and
dedicated to worthy son of Israel
that it will stand with the other great
sons who have been honored and
whose names are revered for worthy
deeds performed without regard to
race or creed.

JEWS PREPARING
FOR ANNUAL FEAST
UNLEAVENED BREAD BEING DIS.
TRlBuTED FOR PASSOVER GEL
EBRATloN.

A. holiday atmosphere Is beginning
to pervade the entire Jewish commun-
ity. for Passover. the ancient festival
concentrating the exodus Of the
Children Of Israel from the land of
Egypt. will soon be ushered in with
BETTING services in the temples and
synagogues. The festival commences
on the evening Of April ~, and will
continue for sever days. Orthodox
Jews observe the festival for eight
days, and during the entire time a
strict adherence to the eating Of un.
leavened bread is maintained.
The annual distribution of the un.
leavened bread, or matsoth, among the
poor Jews Of the cities, began several
days ago. Not n person will be over
lokcd, and investigating committees
will sconr all sections in an attempt
to find persons too. poor to purchase
the bread.
The feast OF Passover, by virtue Of
its quaint observanccs and traditional
melodies, touches n tender chord in
the heart OF every Jew. The feast
proper Is ushered in with n family ser.
vice. around which gather all the
members, no matter how many miles
they reside apart from each other. 1t
is the custom for each person to drink
four small cups of wine In memory Of
the four promises. The menu is COM
posed of dishes commemorative OF the
parlous days when Pharaoh, King Of
Egypt, was ltlie tasl.master OF the
Jews.
