THE CONGRESS.

What are the Jewish communities
of the Twin Cities going to do about
the forthcoming Jewish Congress
which is to convene about May 1st?
Each community will be entitled to
one delegate, according to their
Jewish populations. They will
surely wish to be represented at the
Congress. Not to have any repre-
sentation there will be unfair both
to the Congress and to the two COM
munities.
We suggest that call be issued
by some neutral organization Of
each community, say the Bnai Birth
lodge, to all Jewish societies, reli-
gious, fraternal, nationalist, and cul-
tural, to send representatives to a
meeting to be held early in March,
one representative for every fifty
members or major portion thereof.
These representatives shall elect the
delegate of the community to the
congress.
This, we believe, is thoroughly
democratic plan, in full conformity
with the congress idea ITSELF 1t will
not give any element of the COM
munity a preponderant influence in
the choice, and the delegate so chos-
EN- will be true representative of

STAND BY THE PRESIDENT.

This is good, sound, and patriotic
advice. How can we now help
standing by him? We have been
among his original standbys. We
have stood by him, even when some
Of those who are now so DANGEROUSLY
and vociferously requiring every
body to stand by him, not only did
not stand by him, but actually "sat
on him. sat on him hard, with all
the crushing weight they could
command.
We have stood by him then be-
cause he kept us out of war. And
we stand by him now, because we
hope and trust that he will continue
to keep us out of war; that he will
not allow himself to be plunged into
it by those who desire war in spite
of their lip-professions, and drag this
nation after him. The severance of
diplomatic relations, while it was
necessary to warn Germany not to
be too hasty in destroying Ameri-
can lives and property, does not
mean war and need not lead to war.
But standing by the President
does not mean standing by certain
interested crowd that is trying to

MR.. CARNEGIE'S ADVICE.

Mr.. Carnegie's dictum that it is
a disgrace for man to die rich has
been taken to heart and carried out
by an aged Jewish woman in Chi
cago, Mrs. Marks Nathan. Both
she and her husband while he lived
went on distributing their wealth in
various benevolences, founding an
orphan asylum in Chicago, and Civ
ing literally to other worthy causes.
And now at the age of eighty Mrs.
Nathan finds herself an inmate of an
Old Peoples Home.
The shrewd Scottish laird prob
ably never meant his advice or doc
trine to be taken seriously. He him
self is in danger of dying far from
poor. We suppose that, as in the
case of Mr.. Rockefeller and others
of the same class, his wealth accum-
ulates faster than he can give it
away. The churches that need or
gans are not built fast enough.
Our sages of old have taught US
better doctrine in regard to benev-
olence. Let no man, say they, give
away more than one-ffth of what he
at any time has. Anyone who thinks
that this is not generous enough

NATIONAL CONSUMPTION.

Not only do we stand by our
President in the present national
crisis, but we are also ready to sub
scribe to the new insistent demand
of large element of this nation for
compulsory training of our youth
for national service, but not military
training. Military training means
training in parade drills, which is
childish and useless and training in
the shooting down or bayonetting
ones fellow-men, which is wholesale
murder. 1t means training in the
arts and practices of barbarism and
savagery. How can we in this en-
lightened, humanitarian age expect
and demand of our young men to
spend two or three of their most pro-
ductive, most vigorous years in this
kind Of training? How can we take
them away from the useful occupa-
tons of peace, and teach them in
stead the useless and destructive
activities of war?
The kind of compulsory training
we have in mind is one that would
be of the greatest service and bene-
fit to the nation, that would make
this nation the greatest and happiest

create war panic and war hysteria in
this country. We are standing by
the President because we know that
he is trying to resist this crowd with
all his might, as he has done during
the entire war, and during the Mexi-
can troubles.

of all nations By all means let our
youth devote two or three years of
their lives to compulsory national
service-all young men without ex-
emption. But during that period let
them be taught not how to kill but
how to save life; not how to inhict
injuries but how to render aid to the
injured; not how to destroy, but
how to build up.
They might be taught, for in
stance, how to build roads, dig can
ais, erect public structures, drain
swamps, construct works of irriga-
ton, plow fields, plant orchards or
forests, harvest crops taught in the
only practical way by putting them
on those jobs. Think how much
national wealth the hundreds of
thousands Of each years recruits
would thus produce during two or
three years of service. All the adj
vantages of military training would
thus be secured: discipline, order,
obedience to law and authority,
democracy and fellowship among the
different classes, and healthy physi-
cal exercise besides. One advantage
only they would have to forego, the
ability to shoot down their fellow
men. But something has to be sac
rifced for the attainment of some
greater good.
We thoroughly believe in such
compulsory service for our young
men. Who knows but what some
such plan could be worked out for
our young women also? Given the
full rights of citizenship, why should
not some definite service to the state
be exacted of them?

LINCOLN, April 2.-Religious so- cieites in Nebraska towns and cities are pla 1ning to open coffee houses to take the place of the saloons, which will be banished by edict of the voters May 1.
 Omaha churches will try out the coffee house idea and if it is success full they will scatter a number of them over the city. The plan is to make the coffee house a social club for la boring men such as they now have in the saloon. Coffee and sandwiches are to be furnished cheap and the men encouraged to make the places club rooms.

The police say the two men under arrest claim to be walking around the world on @ wager and that they are not Germans but Poles. Newspaper clippings and pho- tographs show that they have been supposed to make the trip with seven companions, one a woman.
