THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

centuries or horrible torture ana porSeCu-
ton. From Titus to Torquemada, from
TOrquemada to Tsar, every power pos
sible has been exerted to eXterminate the
Jews, but all, all failed Armies have
power, Kings and Popes have power, nu-
man fury, human hatred has power, but
there is a greater and more powerful
than these-an undying belief in an Al
mighty God. To this mistaken faith in
Jehovah is due the survival of the Jewish
race. Comforted by his faith when Op-
pressed and prosecuted, united by his
faith when scattered over the face OF the
earth, the Jew has run the gauntlet of
the ages. Hounded, tortured driven, he
has lived through it all. He has seen the
powerful empires of history, the Wanted
civilizations of antiquity flourish, decay
and crash down into the dust OF limbo.
He alone has survived them all. The
Jew alone was deathless, immortal Ma
lions may come and nations may go, but
the Jew goes on forever. The world by
this time must know that determination
is not the solution of the Jewish problem;
it is emancipation. For just as the He
brew nation had it's origin in the gray
dawn of the worlds history, so shall 1t
have it's end in the twilight of eternity.
Buffeted about as they have been by
the storms of the ages, what can the
Jews have done of note? That they nave
existed is the wonder; that they have &C.
complished aught is the miracle. Yet de-
spite the crushing handicaps under which
he labored despite the insurmountable
obstacles thrown in his path, the Jew has
a Roll of Honor of which he may we'll be
proud. In the field of literature stand
out prominently the names OF He1ne,
Auerbach, Zangwill, Georg Brandes,
among the dramatists Belasco; on the
stage the immortal Rachel, the divine
Sarah Bernhard and the inimitable War
field With the music crushed out Of his
soul he yet produced such musical gen.
fuses as Mendelssohn, Meyerbeer,
Strauss, Moscheles, Rubinstein, Hoffman,
Emma Calve, Mischa Elman; such an
artist as Bakst; such philosophers as
Philo, Maimondes, Spincza, Bergson. In
the realm of economics rule Ricardo, Kari
Marx, LaSalle, M. de Bloch; in astron-
omy Herschel & Goldschmidt. Among
his eminent jurists are Lord Reading,
Chief Justice of England; in the United
States, that great champion of the peo-
pie, Louis D. Brandes And note his
statesmen in whose hands have been the
destiny of empires, Millaud of France,
Lasker of Germany, Luzzatti of Italy,
Castelar, of Spain, Gambetta of the
French Revolution, Disraeli, the Lord
Beaconsfield of England. These are
names that would we'll dignity and shed
a glamour of glory upon the prcudest
race. Name a single people more cos
mopolitan than they; show single race
with such marvellous versatility as
theirs; point out single nation whose
triumph over environment is as great
as theirs. Do all this and | will yet
hold before you the cherished heritage
with which the Jew has endowed all man
kind.
This has been the history of the Jew,
his sufferings, his accomplishments, up
to the outbreak of the great confagra-
ton which is now raging over Europe.

Slee the Russians gather rOund 10 glOat
over their hellish deed:
For have they not a.. caused the wild
ows tears"
and g" .dimmed the orphans eye"
They have g" stained the virgins
years"
and g. Knocked the mourner's cry
These were but common occurrences
of the first decade of the twentieth CEN
tury The second decade had hardly COM
menced when the world was again start
led by fendish plot, Matched against an
innocent Russian Jew, to convict him OF
that time-worn exploded myth, the ritual
murder For two years Mendel Bells
languished in prison while the farce of
a trial was conducted. The regency of
the occurrence has no doubt, left it vivid
ly in your mind Needless to relate, the
force of public opinion from over the
whole world was so great that the Rus
sian government had to release this in
nocent man.
And Were The Hands Of the Other Ma.
tons Unstained?
The prosecutions in Roumania, despite
the treaty provisions of the Berlin Con-
ference the trials for Blood Accusation
in Austria and Hungary, the Dreyfuss af-
fair in France, the presence of an Anti
Semitic party in the politics of Switzer
land and Germany, still show that the
days of trial and tribulation for the Jew
were not yet over. In the remaining
countries the JeW-hater and the Jew
batter gathered round him the ignorant
and the bigoted. Here it was not arson
rapine and murder; here it was SANDER,
discrimination and Ostracism. Here 1t
was not a massacring of the body; here
it was a massacring of the SOUL And yet
everywhere in the hearts of man there
sits enshrined the son of Jewish woman
descended from a long line of Jews.
Jesus is the soul of our soul, even as he
is the flesh of our flesh. Let none dare
think of excluding him from the children
of Israel. The son of David is worthy
descendant of our race; he honors our
people, and, his Messianic mission aside,
we claim him as we claim the gospels
FLOWERS of Jewish literature" There is
not Jew today who does not acknOw-
edge the whole-souled perfection of the
great teacher of Galilee. If Jesus were
to come back to earth today the Chris
tians would bar him from their clubs
because he is a Jew. If st. Peter were
to come to life today he would not be
admitted as guest at many of the no.
tels-because he is a Hebrew. And,
therefore, the Jew must continue to eX-
list if for no other reason than to give
Jesus a home.
What a sad tale has been the story of
the Jew If that nation is held great
which numbers in it's literature single
noted tragedy, how great must be that
nation whose whole existence has been
one long continuous tragedy, it's peo-
pie the actors, it's stage the world.
And what a tragedy, indeed! For
two thousand years it's roles have
been enacted and the curtain has not yet
rung down the closing scenes. The roar

BARAb0O
SECURES
FACTORY

The GAINESVILLE Clothing Company,
OF GAINESVILLE, Wis, makers of overalls
and working clothing, has decided to
remove it's plant to Baraboo. A lease
has been taken on the second story
of the Gollmar building on Third ave-
nue., and work will be commenced
there in about two weeks. It is the
plan of the company to operate on a
small scale in Baraboo for a few
months until sufficient help can be
trained, at which time more machines
will be added and the business in
creased. 1t is expected that about
two dozen sewing machines will be
used at first, and the number increas-
ed when conditions warrant.
This company is large one, and
rated very high among manufacturers
of overalls, and Baraboo is indeed for
tunate in securing this industry. 1t
is forced to leave GAINESVILLE because
there are too many factories there in
the same or similar lines of BUSH
ness, which makes it almost impossi.
BILE to obtain woman operators in suffi.
cient numbers to carry on the BUSH
ness successfully and economically.
The manager of the factory expects
in the course Of few months to have
300 women and men employed in the
Baraboo plant, provided that many
can be secured. At the present time
it has more orders than it can fill be-
cause of lack of help. Until suff1-
cient trained help is secured in Bara-
boo, the material for the clothing will
be cut at GAINESVILLE, shipped to Bar
aboo, and made into garments. When
more machines are installed at Bara-
boo, then the cutting department will
also be moved.
The Commercial Association has
been negotiating with the company
for some months, and has had COM
mittee visit GAINESVILLE on two occa-
sions. The only inducement sought by
the factory was the guaranty of suffi-
cient help, and the hearty co-opera-
ton of the citizens of Baraboo. The
committee that visited GAINESVILLE con-
sisted of VIM. M OFT, w. H. Potter
and ]. w. Frenz. Mr.. Potter also made
a special trip to GAINESVILLE on Tues
day and concluded the final arrange
ments.
