THE JEWISH QUESTION.

The refusal of the Russian govern
ment to admit Hon. Oscar Straus with
a special permit" was what project
ed the passport question into active
notice. 1t is deplorable fact that
notwithstanding community of inter-
ests and daily association, it remained
for such an important matter as the
violation of treaty obligation to be-
come Jewish" question before it will
be settled 1t is the same with i'm
migration. Let something go amis5
there, and it soon resolves itself into
a Jewish question. The Christian
agitator claims this country as exclu-
sive property, but is slow about defend
ing her rights till shown that they
have been discounted in the matter of
according equal privileges to ali law
abiding citizens. 1t seems inevitable.
The Jew must be the scapegoat in or
der that all the peoples of the earth
may be blessed. 1t is certainly tire
some process for the Jew.

HONOR OR DEGRADATION?

What would have happened if Prof.
Enrich, the Jewish genius who has
given the world "606" for the cure. of
syphilis, had refused to be decorated
by the Russian Gear? Some are of the
opinion that had an Irishman met with
the experience that befell the eminent
Enrich, in all likelihood the Gar
would have had TO keep his decoration.
The Russian hospital authorities re-
fused to experiment with 1905" be-
cause discovered by Jew. 1t is too
bad they changed their minds, for no
Jew has a right to hold out even pos
sible alienation of suffering for those
capable of "pogroms." Must not allow
the innocent suffer for the guilty?
Turn the other cheek?" Maybe, may
he! Do the Russian Christians do it?

AN ORTHODOX PEER.

Anglo-Jewry has lost one of it's most
conspicuous personalities in the
death of Lord Swathling. Uncompro-
misingly orthodox, he fought to the
very last the ultra-Reform movement
styled by Mr.. Claude G.. Montifiore as
Liberal Judaism, never lost an oppor-
tunity of opposing, denouncing and
condemning the vicious influences"
disseminated by the "conspirators
against our faith" the critters" who
were thoroughly Indifferent to the re-
strictions imposed by Judaism and
were wholly unprepared to make any
sacrifices for their ancient heritage
One of his daughters, Miss Lily H.
Montague, on the other hand openly
affiliated herself with the Jewish re-
ligious union and caused her father
much grief. In defending her attitude
toward reform she writes, my father
naturally associates himself from lib
eral Jewish teaching. 1t is because |
am his daughter that ! feel constrain-
ed to be faithful to the dictates of
my conscience. The example of my
fathers consistent life, deceitful as it
is by his devotion to duty, is an in
SEPARATION to all his children. II helps
me now to learn the pain of differing
from him to wrom owe so much"

row and pain, must concede that the
world is trembling on the dawn of
newer, better day Not few are di
recting their energiesc towards the ac-
complishment of human good now as
never before, and these, moray awake,
intellectually alert, care naught for the
acquisition of power nor the applause
of the needless throng.

ERICH AS A JEW"

Many non-Jews are of the opinion
that the Jew never takes up calling
unless there's sure guarantee OF
plenty of money at the end of the
goal. Were they to examine carefully
the records of our higher institutions
of learning they would there find am
pie refutation of their malicious doc
trine. No other people in proportion
to numbers presents such an array OF
altruism such as philosophic disregard
of material advantage. The road to
wealth lies not through preaching,
teaching, doctoring or reforming.

UNREMUNERATlVE LABORS

From the enthusiasm manifested at
the celebration of the 18th birthday an
niversary OF M. Abromovitz C'Mendele
Mocher-S'phorim.), the most noted
writer in the Yiddish language, no one
would suspect that his indefatigable
literary activity was financial fail
ure. Even at this late day, he is com
PEELED to support himself other than
by his pen. But again, money is not
the sum and substance of existence

one is constrained to wonder how long
after the gentlemen's departure our
worthy president remembered the.
promise he made them. This is not
the first occasion of which Mr.. Taft
has been shown that Russia is dishon-
~oring her treaty obligations in refer
ence to recognizing passport pre-
sented by an American citizen of the
Jewish faith. President Taft is UNI
doubtedly more worried about his in
ability to save his reputation from the
smirch attached to do nothing adj
ministration" than about whether Jews
get into Russia on their passports or
not He has made feint at the ia
vorable changes in the immigration
bill, but those on the inside claim that
this also is only ".grand-stand play

I'M STORAGE.

The public press and number of
publicists are paying considerable at
tention nowadays to the dangers in
herent in the system of storing food
for long periods of time. Of the seri-
BUSINESS of this danger there can be no
manner of doubt. 1t is perfectly ap-
parent that strict compliance with
the Jewish dietary laws would obviate
most of the dangers connected with
the storage of meat. While some
opinions have sanctioned the keeping
of Kosher meat in transit, there has
never been any authoritative opinion
that the laws of Kashruth permit con
tinued storage after the period of
transit is at an end Therefore the
cold storage of meats for the pur-
pose of commercial gain has no war
rant under the dietary laws The earl
lest application of the storage idea oc-
CURED in Egypt in the days of Joseph,
but that enterprise was based on
purely benevolent motives, and had
nothing to do with the encouragement
of form of speculation which is on a
par with the meanest form OF gambl-
ing. Joseph laid lip his stores of corn
during the seven years of plenty to
provide for the wants of the people in
the seven years of famine. The mod
ern spectators would be content to
produce condition akin to famine
year after year to enable them to
make an extra profit This particular
species OF grasping greed deserves all
the restriction that the law can pro-

Finnish doctor to make an impression
on Mrs. Belmont and said he went out
to her country home several times but
she refused to see him.
Mrs. Belmont had no idea that

his own mind and thought he would
gain notoriety and influence by hav-
ing his name associated with Mrs.
Belmont In his letters he referred
TO Mrs. Belmont as The Goddess OF
