THE ATTITUDE 0F
 JEWISH PEOPLE Rabbi Jasin Discussed Pro- hibition Petition and
 Anwered Critics.
IN TEMPLE SERMON
Says Both Sides Are Unreasonable Conscience Dictates Action Of
 His People.

Taking the prohibition movement for a theme, Rabbi Joseph Jasin de- livered strong sermon last night at the Temple in which he neither sought to deride or uphold the liquor prohibition movement, but did at tempt to disclose the attitude of the Jewish people. A large congrega- tion, among them many mon-mem- bers, heard him.
 Of late Dr. Jasin has been asked many times how he stood on the pro- hibition question, and as it was manisfestly impossible to give an in- dividual answer to all questioners, he took this means to give an eXplala- nation. The sermon was brought about partially, too, because of the recent appearance of an article ill a prohibition paper which many of the Jewish people took as yelled threat against them as a people.
 Dr. Jasin developed the fact that the Jewish people have cause to fear
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1913-11-29

hihitionists very often accuse their opponents of being ranged on the side of immortality. Neither of these charges is frequently justified. The prohibitionists are fighting ill the way that appears to them, an evil which is far from being imaginary, which on the contrary is greater than most of us are willing to admit. But the opponent of prohibition may also have his justification quite apart from his own selfish interests. fhis is particularly true of the Jewish citizens.
 Everyone, including the profess ionai opponent of the Jew, is compell- ed to admit that Jewish family life is remarkable for it's sobriety and morality. Yet the Jew has never had such movement as prohibition or has he ever felt the need of one. Spirituous liquors are found in most Jewish homes and are even used oc- casionally ill our Jewish ceremonies, but we have learned to moderate and to control our appetites without the exertion of any external force. There is involved here a fundamental prin- ciple of the Jewish religion. Judaism teaches that God is the creator of all things, both that which we call good and that which we call evil. that he has placed for man the choice be- tween good and evil, and that true morality consists in choosing of ones own free will that which is good, no matter how alluring the evil may be. Compulsory legislation which takes away the right of such choice also removes that which is the essence of morality.
 Thus much for the philosophy of the thing. But, in addition the Jew has learned to fear and suspect all prohibition movements because of a long line of bitter experiences throughout the centuries of his
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1913-11-29

any prohibition movement because o1 past bitter experiences with such not particularly in this country, but elsewhere, and there is well grounded fear on their part that the prohibition movement might in time be extended to other fields than the liquor interests and thereby work great harm and dissatisfaction.
 So far as Dr. Jasin is personally concerned, he did not sign the peti- tlon of the liquor interests that caloons remain in Pine Bluff, holding that his position as a minister, pro- hibited him from taking such a step. h substance his serman to the con- gregation, was as follows:
 Tn anything that I may have to say upon the subject tonight, l do not wish to be understood as speak ing with authority to dictate to the conscience of individual members of the congregation. No Rabbi and no synagogue assumes such a right with respect to the legal and political in- terests of Jewish citizens.
 My reason for speaking at all on the subject is to try to certain eX- tent to clear the atmosphere and to point out, what some people seem to forget, that in this and all other great questions there are two sides. The man who seeks to be impartial in matter of this kind and to weigh each side usually succeeds in gain ing the disfavor of both sides. But, on the other hand, it is the highest mark of culture to be able to see things from the other mans view point.
 In the controversy on prohibition, as I have observed it for a number of years, there has been too much one-sidedness and bitterness of dis cussion. The liquor interests are likely to accuse their opponents of insincerity of motive, while the pro-

history of martyrdom. On every hand his enemies sought to prohibit whatever he desired to do or to be- come. The streets he should live in. the garments he should wear, the profession he should follow. and even his mode of worshipng God were dictated to him by law; and very often this was done by those who honestly believed that they were working for his salvation. He is afraid that the same spirit which now zealously seeks to prohibit the consumption of liquor may in time extend itself to other fields, as has been the case often in the past. This danger is made all the greater because Of the fact that ia spite of prohibit tion many of the evils sought to be cured will still remain and those who have earnestly endeavored to remove them, will find themselves compelled to try other remedies
 1HC JCWlou Stuutltl Ol nlStOfN, being impartial ill this matter ob- serves that there is no such direct relation of cause and effect between liquor and tn social evils as many prohibitioHists would have ue believe. He admits that overindulgence is a real evil and the cause of much suffering, and in his own life he usually shows. the strength of this belief. But he cannot shut his eyes to the fact that country like Germany with it's enormous consump- tion of liquors among all classes, has risen high in industry, in commerce, in science and ill philosophy; but on the other hand, many of the Oriental nations to whom liquor is
 both by law and by religion, stard very low in the scale of civilization, and suffer more than we do from the evils which are charged to liquor.
 Tn consideration of these facts, and l have tried to confine myself to acknowledge facts, l appeal to each side in this controversy to grant free dom of thought and to ascribe hon. orable motives to the other side. If we find men actuated by selfish motives on the one side, we find the same situation on the other. We need more mutual tolerance and a Democratic spirit which not only gives to all equal rights of thought and action, but which does not seek to use the power of majorities to interfere with the personal rights of minorities.
 "Of one thing our friends may be assured, whether the Jewish citizen votes one way or the other, whether h signs or refuses to sign the parti- cular petition, he is controlled at least as much as anyone else by his not object to the particular words which have recently appeared in some of the prohibition literature, but we do object to being singled out in this matter. The Jewish citizen will be found on both sides of this question and on either side will as a rule, be exercising conscientiously

SENT TO PRISON
Former Treasurer of Moose
Gets Sentence of 2 to ID
YearS-TeIIS of DefalCatiOn.

Admitting that he had appropriate
ed TO his own use funds of the South
Bend lodge of Moose. of which he
was treasurer, Earl Fish entered
plea of guilty to the charge of en-
bezzlement before Judge Funk in the
circuit court Wednesday
Fish was given a sentence Of two
to IA years in the penitentiary at
Michigan City Fish denied that his
defalcation amounted to $1,000, as
charged. but said that as he figured
it. he was short between $500 and
5000.
Fish received his sentence without
show Of emotion after he had out
lined TO Judge Funk the method by
which he had taken the money with
out being detected.
1.-The court has but one alternative
in this matter" said Judge Funk
land that is to sentence you as pre-
scribed in the statute. The court can
do this. however. Ii will assist you to
get a parole after you have served a
minimum time required. II your con-
duct in the penitentiary is exemplary
you will have no difficulty in obtain
ing your release at least in two
years"
Fish had told the authorities he
was ready 10 enter a plea of guilty
TO the charge and Prosecutor Mont
gOmery accordingly had him brought
before the court Wednesday. outlin-
ing the case against Fish after the
latter had entered his plea. Fish,
himself however. told the court how
he had worked his scheme for such
a long time without being detected.

Fish, but I didn't take $1,000.
don't think it web more than $500 or
5000" The treasurer's books are
audited by a committee of the lodge
at the beginning of each quarter.
There is a period, however. Fish ex-
planned during these quarters which
this audit does not cover and 1t was
through this loophole that he began
his defaleatiOn.
II started taking small amounts
with the full intention Of paying back
every cent" said Fish. Later on l
began to take larger sums until / got

Members of the lodge finally sus-
pected there was something wrong
with the accounts and the matter or
an audit by an outside committee
was taekn up with the officers of the
supreme loGse. 1t was when he heard
of this plan Fish admitted, that he
left the city. He was arrested in De-
troit and brought back to this city.
1t is said he admitted the shortage
at the tine of his arrest.
