JEWISH IDEALS-That was
splendid article by Mr.. Straus, but
beg leave to differ with him on one
point. He says the Jew is the orig
inaI republican, and the republican
ism Of the United States is the near
est approach to the ideals Of the
prophets of Israel ever represented
by a state.
It is true that the prophet Samuel
sternIy rebUked the Jews when they
came to him clamoring for king. He
foretold of the shortcomings and
abuses of monarchiaI rule. But all
the other prophets put hard fight
and vehementIy attacked social in
Justice, regardless of what form Of
government existed in the state.
That was their mission, which is in
herent in the soul of every true Jew.
For instance, in Ezekial (chap. 34),
beginning with: WOE to the shep-
herds of Israel that do feed them
selves! Should not the shepherd
feed the flock" etc. I could city any
number if The Forum had space for
them. Are not the causes of these
rebukes overwhelmingly prevalent in
this great republic Of ours? Is not
the social injustice more glazing in
our industrial centers than it was in
old Jerusalem?
Further, Mr.. Strauss says: "They
will repay America for the shelter by
returning to spread American ideals,
customs and trade through Russia"

tai plumber system of the capitalist
class? No, l don't think the Rus
sian workingman will find himself

THE TIMES WILL CHANGE
The day is coming when the big
criminal who today is honored and
followed will be recognized and
treated according to his dement's;
when those who control public Util-
tiles and hold public offices will be ex-
pected to work for the public well
fare; when, anyone using his Office or
influence for himself, family, friends
or any clique of smaller Importance
than the nation will be dealt with as
traitor to all mankind.
Each will be held to full account
for his respective position. Justice
will have precedence over charity.
Charity Of purse will be extinct, but
charity Of thought will prevail and
will have interpreted itself into toler-
ance.
The monkey variety of honesty
that is prescribed in the ten COM
mandments will be recognized as
short of the A, B, c of honesty.
Before we arrive there, however,
we will have OUtgrown our five
senses; our limitations will have a
greater horizon than we deem pos
sible today.
Today it is merely a brainy animal
that rules the world; in that day the
finer in man will rule the animal
world.
The meaning Of liberty will have
taken a step forward by changing
into respOnsibility.-Gothar.
