Speaking of the assumption of his
office, the Chicago Evening Post,
last Monday, said the following edi-
torially regarding Judge Alschuler:
"The new judge belongs to neither
of the dominant Democratic factions.
He stands, as he has always stood,
upon his own record as a lawyer
and man. OF his probity and SYM
pathy with enlightened ideas there
has been no question during the
wears in which Illinois has known
him as one of her public men. The
Post is glad to welcome the new
Judge as strengthening of the al
ready strong federal bench in this
district"
The Chicago Sentinel (Jewish) in
an editorial says:
The unostentatious induction of
Mr.. Alschuler into his high judicial
office was characteristic of our CO.
religionist 1t is this side of Judge
Alschuler's character that makes us
congratulate ourselves more than we
congratulate him on his elevation to
his distinguished office. Others of
our brethren attain high station,
but cannot refrain from indulging
in official conceit and pose which are
most annoying There is no danger
of the outcropping of such qualities
in Judge Alschuler. Others, too,
of our brethren, in assuming respon-
sible official duties become so i'm
bued with a desire and determina-
ton to prove true to their trust that
they subordinate their Judaism to
their new love and loyalty and read
their brethren sermons on what to
do to the end that they win the seal
of approval of their Gentle fellow
citizens. Judge Alschuler's interest
in Jewish matters is sincere, and the
more dependable in view of the fact
that he does not take a commanding
part in our communal life. He ra-
Their hopes and intends to do his lit
tie bit modestly, to the end that Jews
may be happier and freer.
The magic of Mr.. Alschuler's per-
sonallty will now be felt in a wider
circle. We extend our best wishes
to our modest and genuine fellow
American and fellow Jew, Judge
Alschuler.

SAMUEL ALSCHULER.

was last week indicted into the Of
flee of Judge of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals. He
shares that honor with another
we'll known co-religionist, Judge
Julian w. Mack of the same dis
trict who was present at the cere-
mony.
Mr.. Alschuler is So years old. He
was born in Chicago on Nov. 70,
1859. His parents, Jacob and Caro-
line Stifel Alschuler, had settled
there five years previously on their
arrival in America from Germany.
In 1861 the family moved to Aurora,
which since has been their home,
with the exception, of few years
passed in Quincy.
He received his education in the
public schools of Aurora and Quincy,
working his way through school by
Jobs in stores and in cotton mill
near Aurora
In 1878 he took up the study of
law, entering the office of Capt. A.
c. Little in Aurora and was admit
ted to the bar in $780, He practiced
alone for several years and later
formed a partnership with John c.
Murray, who afterward was United
States district attorney for the nor
thern district of Minnesota.
In 1901 he came to Chicago and
became a member Of the law firm of
Kraus, Alschuler & Holman, with
which he is affiliated. He is unmar-
ried and lives in Aurora, Ill.
The public activities of Mr..
Alschuler have been varied His
first campaign was waged before he
had attained his majority, when he
"stumped" his county for General
Hancock, democratic candidate for
president. Since that time no state
or national campaign has been
fought without Mr.. Alschuler, either
in the interests of his own candidacy
or that of some member of his
party.
He was elected minority represent
tative in the state legislature in 1896
and reelected in 1898. He also was
a member of the state board of claims
under Gov. Altgeld.
He was the candidate of his party
for governor in 1900, and in 1912
made the race for the democratic
nomination for governor against
Gov. Dunno.

States Circuit Court of Appeals, in

under his rule, with Cordova as his
capital. It was under the successors
of this new King, and especially un-
der the greatest of them, Abd-el-
Rahman III, (912-96D, that Spain,
a united Mohammedan Kingdom,
put forth the noblest flowers of
Mohammedan culture.
How did the Jews fare during
these two and a half centuries?
We have seen that the Jews had
longingly looked forward to the
coming Of their Mohammedan res
cuers. The Jews in Africa, many of
whom had been fugitives from
Spain during the periodic Visigothic
prosecutions, were eager to join in
the expedition that would bring final
redemption to their long suffering
brethren At the battle Of Heres
the African Jews fought bravely un-
der their leader, Kaula-al- ahudi.
Nor were the Jews Of Spain idle
and indifferent onlookers. They
gave the invaders every possible as
sistance, acted as their guides, and
opened for them the gates of many
a garrisoned and fortified city. It
is doubtful if without the help of
the native Jews the Mohammedan
conquest would have been SO rapid
and successful In some places the
Jewish element was so preponder
ating that Toledo, Lucena, and Ora
NADIA were called Jewish cities at
the time of the Mohammedan in
vasion. In them the Arabs found
faithful allies, and whenever a city
was captured the Jewish population
or Jewish soldiers were left behind
as a garrison, while the Arabs them
selves pushed on for further vic
tories. So the Jews were practically
the masters of Cordova, Malaga,
Granada, Seville and Toledo.
The new rulers showed them

ing them with kindness, granting
them full religious liberty, and the
privilege of managing their own in
ternal affairs, requiring them only
to pay a poll tax, the same as was
exacted of the Christian population.
Their numbers were steadily grow
ing as a result of the influx of many
Jewish families from Africa in the
wake of the Arab conquest. 1t is
estimated that a quarter of million
souls had thus been added to the
Jewish population.
Yet disturbing incident occurred
soon after the conquest. The Jews

Noisy Childhood.

1t is interesting to note the results
Of careful Investigations into the
causes Of dullness and %precocity in
children. Precocious children are, as
a rule, heavier, and dull children light
er, than the average child Of the same
age. Precocious children are taller
and have larger chests and wider
heads than backward children. No
child whose weight Is below the nor-
NAL standard for his age should be
permitted to enter a high school grade
that the average child Of his age at
tends, except after such a physical ex-
animation as shall satisfy the physi-
clan that the child's strength will be
equal to the strain. Here the connec-
ton between physical and mental con-
ditions is very plain. Physical weak
ness often produces an abnormal men
tai state, In illness or convalescence,
or when suffering from hunger and
fatigue, most of us are more irritable
than when we have our full strength.
Selishness, untruthfulness, ill-temper
and the like very frequently have a
pathological basis. This is so charae-
REALISTICALLY true that we may in most
cases consider moral alterations as
conclusive evidence of some sudden
moral discrepancy. Do not run for the
rod, but for the physician; only be
careful what you call a moral discrep-
ancy."

Wylie ran for his train, bound for

arose in his heart. He, too, loved Ruth
Purcell The field was now clear. It
was not in his nature to come forward
as a rival when he believed that Ruth
loved Wylie the best
But now-his step quickened, his
eye grew brighter. Ruth Purcell did
not after all care for Wylie. AS a
magnet she drew Ross to her. At the

rejected.
Still, she was kindly toward him.
There had come of late a strange far.

He was encouraged, too. Ruth's par

the end Of six months he was a CON

he tried his chances again. Ruth hes

1t could not be.
Then one evening he came in great
haste and excitement to the Purcell
home. He had received news of
Wylie. A letter apprized him that
his friend was lying sick unto death
at a lonely logging camp in Oregon.
Il am going to Wylie quick as a
train can take me-" he announced in
his impetuous boyish way.
He talked over his plans, too abb
sorbed in them to note that Ruth took
