ARE THE JEWS An INFER
IOli RACE2

Taking refuge among the Jewish
geniusos of modern times we cncoun-
ter the names Of Baruch Splnoza, Dav-
id, Rirardo Karl, Marx, l.assalle,
Heinrich llcine; Mcndclssohn Bar
tholdy and Rublnstein inlmusic; Dis
racli, Antokolslty in sculpture; the
youthful philosopher otto Weininger
whose book, Geschlccht und Charak-
ter, made a tremendous stir In Euro
poon philosophical circles; our CON
temporary philosophers, Henri Berg
son in France and Hermann Cohn in
Germany; and last but not least,
Joseph lsraels, the greatest painter
modern Holland has produced.
We have counted thirteen geniuses
of the very highest mark. All of them
indicate epochs ia this or the other
sphere of human culture All Of them
are as immortal as is humanity Itself
We're we 10 venture, we could prolong
that phalanX Of Jewish geniuses by
adding many talents OF high order
who are stll tapping at the door Of
everlasting fame. But we wish to be
as strict and unlavish in bestowing the
crown Of genius as possible,
Surely the above named thirteen
geniuses suffice to demonstrate the
presence Of higher geniuses in the
Jewish race people numbering
only eleven million. One poet like
Heinrich Heine-one of the greatest
wrists the world has ever known-or
one Karl Marx, whose name is indel-
IDLY written in the annals Of mankind
and is in Europe the nearest known
name to those Of Moses, Jesus, Ma
hOmet, and Luther-WOuld do to re-
pudiate the statement of Jewish in
significance. SO win also the hun
dreds Of highly gifted Jews who are
swarming in the literature, art and
science of practically every country
and among whom are to be found
such universally known names as
those of Georg Brandes, Lombroso,
Max Nordau, Russia's greatest painter
Levtan and Germanys foremost liv-
ing painter Max Lieberman, Sara

many others!
