THEN AND NOW.

I1LN AMI NOW.
The Christian world is being pagan
lied. That is best shown by the an
nual Christmas celebration. Of the
ethical ideals of the Gospels not a
trace is seen anywhere. After 1900
years of theorizing about them and
paying them lip homage, the Chris
tan world is full of hatred, ven
geance, malice, destructive fury; the
hands of one nation are imbrued in
the gore of another; the very thought
of peace, of a cessation of hostilities
destruction and slaughter, is scorn-
fully stifed. Burning hate is lodged
in every heart.
On the other hand, Christmas,
pagan in it's origin, is celebrated with
ever greater pomp and circumstance,
with lavish prodigality and extrava-
giant sumptuousness. All it's pagan
symbols have been revived and are
observed with a scrupulousness that
the real sanctities of life never re-
ceive. That most of the Christmas
customs are in reality heather GUS
toms is admitted by all competent
Christian authorities. They have
mostly been copied from the Roman
Saturnalia, that were celebrated the
same time of the year. Of the Ro-
man feast we are told that the time
was one of general joy and mirth.
Distinctions Of rank were laid aside
. all classes exchanged gifts,
the commonest being wax tapers and
clay dolls. These dolls were espe-
cially given to children" Lighting the
Christ child on its way" a practice
that our newspapers are specially zeal
GUS in spreading, is reminiscent of
the old heather fire and SUN worship.
1t was against such paganism,
pagan customs and pagan worship,
that our fathers took their brave
stand and fought their brave fight.
That is what our Hanukkah reminds
us of. The Maccabean struggle was
one between Judaism and paganism
Judaism triumphed and paganism has
ever since been an abomination to the
soul of the Jew. How painfully ir-
'itating, therefore, it is to see modern
Jews aping their Christian neighbors
~ decorating their homes with Christ

EDQ T0RlAL
TO THE KNIGHTS OF ZION.
SHOLOM U'VROKHO!

Welcome, fellow Zionists, to the
Twin Cities. May your converting
here be of special benefit to you and
to all of us, and appreciably promote
the good work in which you are en-
gagged. Not all of our Jews will &C
cord you the reception you are en-
titled to, for not all sufficiently under
stand and value Our ideal. We are
living in an age of Philistinism and
materialism, furnishing a poor soil
for the cultivation of ideals. Ideals
are in general of slow growth. All
the more reason why the chosen few
on whom the light of an ideal has
shone, should walk steadfaslty by it,
and in the direction in which it
points.
The future is big with the possibility
of the realization of our hopes and
the fruit-bearing of our efforts. When
the representatives of the nation shall
foregather, as we hope in the near
future they will, to adjust the rela-
tons and the boundaries of national
groups, when reason shall again pre-
vail over passion and violence, then,
perchance, the plea of the small voice
of wandering Jacob for the restora-
ton of his home shall be heard and
Needed Our desires are modest We
seek no conquests, no indemnities, no
spheres of influence and commercial
expansion; only home for the home
less where they may again live and
develop an independent normal life,
life that will bless the nations with
the fruit of the genius that is Israel's.
And SO, fellow Zionists, we wish
you joy in your work May har-
mony and brotherly accord prevail
in your councils! May your deliber-
atoms and efforts bring us a step,
and be that step ever SO small, nearer

the goal toward which we are striv-

THE RIGHT AND THE WRONG
KIND OF PUBLICITY.

~ JSWo III llllo NOuIlll y dlu 0lODdOly
in other countries, too, who are very
sensitive to publicity, especially the
publicity obtained through the daily
public press. They are averse to
seeing Jewish names and Jewish do
ings in public print; they shrink
from the comments such publicity is
likely to evoke on the part of non
Jews.
Their sensitiveness has our fullest
sympathy. We, too, deprecate the
eagerness of some of our people to
rush into print, to see themselves
and their little doings, or the affairs
of their clubs and societies adver-
tised in the daily papers. The pub
lie press is often giving us undesired
and undesirable publicity enough.
Why should we be instrumental in
adding to it? And to what purpose,
and of what good is most of it? Our
society events, our celebrations and
Publications, our little glories and
our little troubles, our comings and
goings may be of interest to US, but
they are not to the general public.
1t is for that very reason that we
believe that local Jewish publica-
ton fills real want. In it and
through it Jew can communicate
with fellow Jew In it our social and
communal affairs can be recorded, to
satisfy our interest in them, and to
appease our hunger for the news that
transpires in our own midst.
Through it enthusiasm for things
Jewish may be cultivated. In it any
grievance of Jew against Jew may
be aired, and advice or warning
transmitted, any opinion on things
Jewish voiced. 1t is written for
Jews and read by Jews only.
And yet, when all is said, publicity
in the daily press is sometimes neces-
sary and unavoidable. After all, we
must not forget what powerful
medium for the transmission of ideas
the daily paper is. A Jewish matter
may sometimes. be of sufficient i'm
portance to require or to deserve the
attention of the larger public. A
Jew may sometimes have message
for all his fellow-citizens, or some
grievance against them. Who will
say that under such circumstances
publicity is undesirable?
What we should deprecate is the
kind of publicity-seeking that is
prompted only by some selfish mo-
tive, vanity, social or political ambi-
ton. These are all human weak
nesses, of course, and we should not
be too harsh even in our condemna-

SOUTH DAKOTA STAT COLLEGE
OF AGRICULTURE AND
MECHANIC ARTS

Watertown Public Opinion: Among
the good things on which most citi-
zens of the state agree and for which
most of them boost is the agricultural
college at Bookings.
Better farming is one of the great
accomplishments of the age. 1t is the
one place in which the middle west
has outstripped all the world in ad-
vances made. The problems are, not
nearly all solved; in fact, they are Just
giving us a glimpse Of the great good
yet to come. All great problems seem
to center around this one of better
farming.
AS a slogan, Public Opinion believes
double the appropriation of the agri-
cultural college is the proper battle
cry.
South Dakota has many ~unsolved
problems. South Dakota has vast areas
of unsettled territory. South Dakota
has some of the best talent in the
world.
Let South Dakota come out of its
penurious policy of treating it's educa-
tional institutions.
South Dakota may not be able to
lead in all educational institutions, but
there is no reason why South Dakota
should not have the greatest a~gricul-
tural college in the world. Let South
Dakota this year appropriate as much
or more than is given to Ames, Iowa.
Ames made $500 land. $4,000 land.
Iowa owes more to Ames college than
to all the balance of its state institu-
tons combined. Besides, in boosting
Ames, all the rest are benefited. Let's
have a statewide movement to make
the South Dakota Agricultural rollege
hum.
If doubling the appropriation will
not put us in the lead, double it up
again. This state is behind it's better
farming movement stronger han the
men in the movement realize. Let the
faculty raise it's sights, enlarge its
range of vision, quit asking for half
what you need in an apologize sort of
fashion.
You owe it to yourselves and you
owe it to the state to put that institu-
ton at the head of the list. This is
going to be a doing legislature.
BrOokings should lead all the rest in
demands, in receipts and in organiza-
ton for the purpose of showing the
state what is needed.
