TAFT AND BRANDEIS.

Having made failure of all their
attempts so far to prevent the Sen
ate's confirmation of Brandeis, hav-
ing made themselves utterly ridc-
ulous by the kind of charges and
testimony they introduced, the big
commercial and financial interests,
his real opponents, they who have
felt some of the blows he has adj
ministered to Big Business" while
fighting for the peoples interests,
have now played a trump card"
and have induced Taft and six other
former presidents of the American
Bar Association to protest against
the confirmation of Brandeis. A
Minneapolis daily editorially re-
marks that "when Mr.. Taft and six
other former presidents of the
American Bar Association protest
the appointment of Mr. Brandeis to
the supreme bench it certainly looks
as if there were very good reasons
why MS appointment should not be
confirmed" Yes, indeed. there are
''very good reasons" from the point
of view of the Interests that Messrs
Taft, Root and the others represent
and serve. That. we have known all
along. 1t is a clear case now Of
our politico-economic stand dpatters,
and Special Privilege representa-
tives VS.. the rights and interests of
the people. For what other reason
has Mr.. Taft. for example, for be-
ing opposed to Brandeis? Is it per-
haps because Brandeis does not
measure in girth and weight in
avoirdupois as much as he does?

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD
THE WAVE OF VICE AND
CRIME.


has recently been the case in Min
neapolis. considerable momentary
excitement and Indignation are
aroused, and great spasmodic ef-
fort is put forth to make it uncom-
Portable for the guilty. All the civic
agencies are set to work to ferret
out, to apprehend, and to punish the
offender. Grand Juries become
feverishly active; women's clubs
and mems organizations appoint
their investigating committees; the
police force is raked over the Goals;
and the newspapers contribute their
share to keep things astir and going.
And some criminals and some sin
ners are really brought to justice
and made to suffer.
1t is we'll that we should become
excited over the shocking revela-
tions recently made in Minneapolis,
and that we should become active
as we'll. 1t certainly would not be
SO we'll to remain indifferent apa-
thetic, and passive, while vice
flaunts brazenly, and crime makes
life and property unsafe. And yet,
is it not about time that we realize
the insufficiency and inefficiencv of
all our present-day efforts to check
them: Is it not time that we recog-
nize our short sightedness that fails
to see the real cause of all these
evils: We see only the panderer,
the fallen girl, the parasite who lives
off the earnings of her shame. the
cafe-proprietor who violates the city
ordinance, the cwner of the dance
hall, or other amusement-places,
who lures young people with the
temptation of sensuality. We go
after them. and we think we have
done our duty.
Now, what happens? During the
spasmodic agitation some guilty
ones are really punished. and some
escape All the lawless elements,
net caught red-handed, get under
cover for awhile. In two or three
months, when the excitement has
srbsided, everything pursues it's
wonted course, until the evils be-
come too fragrant again, and the
process is repeated.
The truth is that these evils are
only the bitter fruit of a poisonous
tree that has its roots deep in cur
modern life. And unless we lav the
ak to the tree itself, the picking off
of the fruit. the apples of Sodom,
now and then, will not help us
much. The tree bears it's periodic
new crop. The truth is, that these

soned system. Our whole life now
adays is poisoned and tainted by a
corrupting ideal-the ideal Of pleas
ure, Of having good time.
Pleasure excitement, the gratifica-
ton of sense, in short having good
time, that is our modern ideal. That
is what people nowadays live for,
toll for, strive and scheme for, talk
about and dream about It is the
ideal Of rich and poor alike. 1t is
made easily accessible to all. Mod
ern commercialism brings it within
the reach of the poor. 1t makes
it cheap and alluring. Fortunes are
made nowadays by those who know
how to minister and cater to the
pleasures Of the masses.
All are eager for a good time, old
and young alike. The young get
their ideas from their elders. The
contagion is carried from one to
the other. The boy and girl whose
home atmosphere is not vitiated by
the continual talking and planning
and dreaming Of a good time on
the part of the older members
OF the household, get their ideas
from their playmates and school
mates. The poor try to follow
the example of the rich And women
are the worst offenders, for so many
of them are idle. and have no serious
purpose in life.
The rich may find enough legiti-
mate pleasure to indulge in or when
their pleasure is not legitimate, it is
easily covered up, gilded over, we'll
paid for. and no one appears as ac-
cuser. But the poor, poisoned with
the same virus-love of pleasure
are also in quest of good time.
