THE PROHIBITION MEETING
WAS WELL ATTENDED

The prohibition meeting in the
court house on Monday night was
we'll attended. The court house was
about filled. Mayor Wright presided
and presented the speakers.
The first speaker was the Rev. l..
Stearne who spoke of the work Of
the anti-saloon league and the bur-
den of his talk was to tell what the
league was doing and an appeal for
money to help on the work. He
passed around a number of pledge
cards for those who desired to help
the work to sign pledge Of how
much they would contribute monthly
for fve years for the expenses Of the
work. He said it took money to carry
on the work, and he arraigned liquor
as being the main cause of all the
crime almost that was committed, and
laid stress upon the fact that it was
mainly responsible for the white
slave trade. And he told OF little
girl who was getting only s4.0e .
week who had contributed ten cents
a month to save those of her cwn sex
from this terrible slavery And OF
others who were contributing much
larger sums for the work. Just how
many signed the pledges We do not
know. At the present rate of the
movement it will not be Ave years
before this country is prohibition
from one end to the other.
Former Governor NJ. R. Patterson
of Tennessee was the main speaker
Of the evening, and he delivered a
fine address, and told Of his own ex-
perience with whiskey, and said he
knew what it had done and would do
if its use was continued. He said he
would be willing to sever his right
arm if he could take down from the
halls Of memory some Of the ghosts
that he had hung up there with the
use Of whiskey. He said he was at
one time local optionist, and that
when governor of Tennessee he had
vetoed a prohibition bill, and the
opening sentence Of his veto mee sag -
was to the effect that under or gov
ernment a prohibition measure was
fundamentally wrong, but If he could
write that sentence over now he would
write that it was fundamentally right.
It was a fine address and was listen

velopment of the past to neglect the
essential aspect of our history. The
essence of Jewish history is not 'Eretz
Hakodesh' (the Holy Land), but
Ruach Hakodesh' (the Holy Spirit).
Mere nationalism is no more admir-
able than Prussianism; indeed, Prus
STA is only Palestine painted red. To
regard Israel as simply one of the
peoples Israel, whose spirit, whether
through the Old Testament, the New
Testament or the Koran, has pene-
trated and vivifed half the world =
would be a meekness greater than
that of Moses. Desirable as is the re-
establishment of a Jewish State,
nevertheless were that re-establish
ment taken as an end in itself, did it
succeed merely in adding another to
the States that fill the world with fire
and fury, then it would be very poor
end to the dream of four thousand
years.
my lamented friend, Joseph ia
cobs, believing that Judaism in its
medieval form had lost it's hold,
sought for some modern interpreted
ton of the Jewish mission which
should at the same time preserve the
Jewish people. He suggested that the
Jews were peculiarly fitted by their
scattered character to be the link Of
peace, binding the nations. The sug-
gestion has not yet been adopted, but,
consciously or unconsciously, the peo-
pie whose national greeting is 'Sho-
lom Aleichem' (Peace to youD has

but man who has accepted free

mouth is stopped. Even festoons of
flowers are species of claim. And at
this unparalleled crisis in human at
fairs, when we stand among the ruins
of an age, in a weller of tears and
blood, when Christianity has been re-
vealed as a gigantic bluff and Judaism
has become a caricature of Christian
ity, it is more than ever necessary
that a writer should keep himself
free and independent And when this
writer is a Jew it is still more neces-
sary that he should not compromise
his people by his personal opinions. I
trust, therefore, that whatever [ say

grounds or that I am not accepting

"The other day I received from
America a volume of poems with the
authors best wishes Judge then of
my establishment when in a poem
called The Melting Pot I found my
self thus apostrophized:
90 Blinded Leader-for Thee no
morn!
Thou scorner of Gods own blessed
Truth!
'Twere better far Thou had'st never
been born
'Twere better Thy tongue indeed was
mute.
THAT, | know, represents the opin-
ion of many Jews who will much re-
sent your giving my tongue such ar
added opportunity. But, strange to
say, it was not written by Jew, and
I fear Jewish sympathy with it will
diminish when l add that the reason
of these Christian curses is that I
have not led the Jews to Christ. BY
Him and not by you,' goes on the
poet, shall the nation be redeemed
But my book makes no attempt to
redeem the Jewish nation; indeed, it
would require a marvellous optimism
to believe even in the existence of a
nation which is periodically engaged
on every battlefield in fighting against
itself. What my book tries to do is
as it's name implies-to serve the
world. Some of the best English pa
pers say it is service to England. I
hope it is. But hope that it is equal
1y service to Germany, to Russia, to
France or to Turkey. Its object is to
win humanity over to reason and love,
and to destroy those forces of unrea
son and hate whose never-sleeping
menace makes the War for the
World.
"You will see, therefore, how far I
am from being patriot, whether
Jewish or English, and what second
airy Importance l give to Jewish Ma
tionalism. | know it is the fashion
among Zionists to sheer at the Jew
ish Mission,' and the sheer is quite
justified against the anti-Zionists who
have only raked up this Mission to
down the Zionists with. Had they
worked as actively for it as the Zion
lists for Zionism, their position would
not be SO undigni6ed today AS
matter of fact, the sense of mission
radiates from our literature and tradi-
ton at least as strongly as the sense
of Palestine and nationality. Our
forefathers never claimed that Israel

Buenos Aires, Sept. 5.-All Argentine
faced utter paralysis of industry today
in strikes. The prompt surrender to
strikers demands made by the Central
Argentine railways recently has result
ed in encouraging laborers in many in
dustries throughout the country to at
tempt an improvement in their deplor-
able conditions as to wages and hours OF
work.
The government has dispatched two
shiploads of marines and bluejackets to
Ayellaneda to reinforce guards protect
ing the feed tunnels supplying Buenos
Aires with electricity. The same circuits
gave current to the city's street rail
way system, ON which strike has al
ready forced withdrawal of half the
cars.
Four hundred naval stokers are oper-
ating the electric light plant itself, ow-
ing to sympathetic strike of firemen
there.
Other trades in which strikes are
either on, or about to be declared to-
day, included bakers, marketmen, car
penters, millwrights and news vendors.
In many instances they are nation wide
movements, Employees of the Buenos
Aires, Pacific and Central Cordoba rail
ways today joined in the general threat
of strike. Such a move would tie up
the trans-Andean route. The employees
of the Central Argentine railways who
returned to work, were reported ready
to go out again on a sympathetic strike
| The railroads were reported combln'
ing for the purpose of asking British
and American ambassadors to bring
pressure on the Argentine government
for their protection. Much foreign cap
ital is represented in the railways. The
companies have already made advance
demands for protection of their proper
