HAS SCHIFF BEEN
WRONGED.

The associated press has flashed
the news throughout the country,
that Jacob H. Schiff the other day
appeared before the annual conven-
ton of the Kehillah of New York
and pronounced what he called his
"valedictory."
He told the delegates that he had
determined to break all his affilia-
tons with what might be called
=" eWish politics" (sic) and hereafter
to do his work for his race as a pri-
vate individual.
He then recited his grievances.
He declared that he had been bit
terly attacked in the Jewish Press
because Of the misquotation of his
remarks at the Central Jewish insti-
tute few days ago. He had been
quoted as saying that the Jews of
Russia and Poland were themselves
responsible for their persecution, or
words to that effect. He emphatical-
ly denied having made such a state
ment.
We believe that Mr.. Schiff has a
real grievance We know the tenn
per Of some of the New York scrib-
blers and journalists. Mr.. Schiff has
been persona non grata to them for
some time, chiefly because of his
opposition to the Congress move
ment. Mr.. Schiff's stand on that
question may be wrong, and yet he
is entitled to his opinion, and should
not be attacked and vilified on that
account He is too valuable mem

EDl 1T0RlAL :
A MESSAGE TO OUR YOUNG
PEOPLE.

Last Wednesday, which was our
shavuoth. numbers of young people
in all the communities Of the land
were confirmed in our faith. They
dedicated themselves to a course Of
life becoming faithful Jews and
Jewesses. They pledged themselves
to do their share of the work of per-
petuating Jews and Judaism.
However, it is one thing to prom
Use. to resolve, to pledge oneself; and
quite another to fulfill the promises
and pledges, and to carry out the
resolves. The failure to do so is
common human weakness. We
know how quickly the young people
confirmed forget their good resolu-
tons; how soon they become indif-
ferent to everything which on the
day of confirmation (and that is true
of the modern Bar Mitzwah also)
they promise to cherish and honor
and hold sacred.
Yet, why should it be SO? The
new obligations they assume are not
difficult of performance, and do not
require too great a sacrifice. They
pledge themselves to live as true and
loyal Jews and Jewesses, which
means, first of ALL to cultivate
Israel's religion, most rational
faith, religion that contains moth
ing Of which reason, the most en-
lightened and best-informed reason,
cannot approve. 1t teaches the sim
pie doctrines of the existence of
God, and of the divine law of hui
man duty. These are necessary doc

race would become brutalized.
Secondly, it implies the recogni-
ton of the bond that unites them
with all their fellow Jews. People
call it the racial bond. Let us call it
the bond of religious and historical
kinship. We all trace ourselves back
to the same ancestry we have had
the same experiences; have suffered
alike, worshiped God alike, protested
alike against all forms of idolatry
and superstition; have had the same
trials, the same hope and faith. II
we in this country are now we'll Oft
and comfortable, enjoying freedom
and prosperity, while Jews in other
lands still suffer from hostility and
persecution, our obligation to them
is that of a stronger brother to
weaker. We must help them in their
difficulties, help in solving their
problems.
Our obligation to our fellow
Jews has still another aspect. One
Jew generally suffers for the sins of
another ew; all Jews suffer for the
sins of few, simply because we
all bear the same name. ]ew, Our
obligation, therefore, is to hold this
name in honor, not to discredit it,
or bring reproach upon it.
There are times when Jewish
young people feel uneasy when they
hear the name Jew Knocked and ridi-
culed, traduced and reviled by people
who are thoughtless, ignorant, pre-
JUDGED, bigoted or evil-minded. But
there is no reason for feeling I'M
easy and uncomfortable, and trying
to escape it by denying or conceal
ing what we are, or by hedging or
evading. The best remedy is to
know ourselves, to know our own
worth, and the worth of our people;
to know how bravely our people
have persevered in the face of con-
tumely and oppression; to know our
part in the history Of the world, in
it's civilizations to know the distin-
guished names that illumine the
records Of Our past and present. He
who knows all that will not feel hui
inflated by the cheap vulgar jibes
of the ignorant and prejudiced.
TO study our history, therefore,
SO as to know more about our peo-
pie; to study our literature, so as to
know more about our faith and our
ideals and aspirations, is our duty to
