ZION AND AMERICA.

In an ungracious and unfriendly
criticism of Jews and Judaism in
America in an essay on "The Prob
lem of American Judaism" in the At
lantic Monthly for February, the
writer admits that Zionism is the
one ideal nowadays that has taken
large numbers of Jews out of the
slough of sordid materialism, and
has given them a worthy cause to
work for. But, asks he, what good
will Zion do to the Jews who prefer
to remain in America? This ques-
ton need not trouble us until Zion
has been restored to the Jews. For
the time being all American Jews
may unite with Jews all over the
world to work for the attainment
of our aim-an autonomous home
for Jews and Jewish culture in Pal
estine. To accomplish it will re-
quire the best efforts Of all Jews for
a long time 1t will tax their best
energies, their financial resources,
their ingenuity and diplomacy. 1t
is practical and ideal work at the
same time. For what nobler ideal is
there than to work for the regenera-
ton of a whole people, for the re-

creation of nation, the re-vitaliza-
ton of it's political and cultural en-
ergies?
And when the Jewish home in Pal
estine is established, and becomes
the center Of a Jewish national life,
will not the Jews that remain in
other lands be constantly stimulated
and energized by the life in Pales-
tine? Will not Palestine then be the
link that will unite them all and hold
them together? Will it not be like
the heart of the body of Israel from
which vitalizing currents will flow
back and forth to the remotest parts
of the body? This is precisely the
part that Palestine played once be-
fore in our history. The Jews all
over the world may not stand in any
political relation to those of Pales-
tine, but they may maintain their
religious and cultural connection
with them. Zionism, therefore, is
not an ideal for the present only,
while Zion is yet unattained, but
will remain a Jewish ideal for gener-
atoms to come.

THE MINNEAPOLIS DELE
GATE TO THE CONGRESS.

he one important matter before
American Jewish communities at
the present time is the election OF
worthy and competent delegates to
the Jewish congress to be held in
May. A great deal of preliminary
work will have to be dcnc, the work
of organization, and of elaboration
of ways and means by which all
members of the community may ex-
erclse their voting power. But the
essential thing is the election of
proper delegate, one who will
worthily represent the community
sending him, and is worthy of the
honor conferred upon him.
If the different factions and sec
tons of the Jewish community could
at their own preliminary meetings
agree on one candidate acceptable to
all of them, good deal of work and
trouble could be saved thereby. In
Minneapolis this should not be diff
cult of accomplishment We have
in mind a candidate on whom all fac
tons could we'll unite, for he practi-
cally belongs to all of them, since
his sympathies are with all things
Jewish, including Jewish orthodoxy
and Jewish socialism. No man de-
serves better at the hands of the
Jews of the community, for no man
has given more freely of his time,
his energy, and his money for every
Jewish cause than he. That he
would worthily though not vocifer-
ously represent us goes without say
ing. We therefore propose DR.. Geo.
]. Gordon as the Minneapolis dele
gate to the Congress.

THE JEWS OF CINCINNATI.
March 9, 1917

The Jews of Cincinnati are en-
titled to ratulations for more
than one reason The other day the
entire community united in celebrat-
ing the seventy-f1fth anniversary of
the Bene Yeshurun congregation,
better known as the Plum Street
congregation, to which the sainted
DIR. |. M. Wise ministered for we'll
nigh half century. Seventy-fve
years are a long span Of time in the
life of Jewish congregation in
America But Cincinnati has Jew
ish congregation that is about TWEEN
ty years older than Bene Yeshurun,
and that is the Bene Israel congre-
cation of which DR.. David Philipson
is rabbi. SO that the Cincinnati Jew
ish community is almost one hun
dred years old.
Considering its age the Cincinnati
Jewish community has not had any
remarkable numerical growth, due
of course to the size and position of
the city of Cincinnati itself In
numbers the Jews of Cincinnati
probably do not exceed those of the
Twin Cities Of Minnesota combined.
And yet what an important part the
Jewish community Of Cincinnati has
played in the life of American
Judaism Cincinnati is the seat of
the Hebrew Union College, whose
graduates occupy the largest num-
Der as we'll as some of the most i'm
portant of Jewish pulpits of this
country. Cincinnati is the head
quarters of the Union of American
Hebrew congregations and of the
Federation of Temple Sisterhoods.
And two Of the leading and most in
fuential liberal congregations of the
country are in Cincinnati. Cincin-
natl may be truly spoken of as the
center of liberal American Judaism
And all this achievement, all this
distinction that has come to the Jew
ish community of the Queen City is
due to the energy, the wisdom and
the faithful labors of one man
Isaac NJ. Wise If any citizen de-
serves a lasting monument in stone
or bronzes in the city in which he
lived and labored, it is Isaac M.
Wise, although his achievements in
the community are his best monu-
ment. The Jews of Cincinnati are
to be congratulated that it was their
privilege to have him in their midst
for almost half century.

SUBSCRIPTIONS MUST
BE HURRIED GREATLY

? Washington, June S.-The liberty
loan is tagging on the face of Off
cial bank returns behind the hopes
of treasury officials and their expec-
tations of what it would be on this,
the twenty-fourth day of receiving
subscriptions.
On the face of actual subscriptions
received at the treasury, the loan
will have to be taken at the rate of
$100,000,000 a day between now and
the closing date If the entire $4,000
900, 900 is to be subscribed. The av-
erage of subscriptions thus far re-
ceived has been approximately $54,-
100000 day. Officials had hoped
that by this time an over-subscrip-
tion would have been actually re-
ceived.
Secretary McAdoo's statement
made public at New Orleans was is
sued in identical form here later to-
night. In addition, this announce
ment was appended
"The treasury department issues
an urgent appeal to all banks trust
companies and other agencies receiv-
ing and transmitting subscriptions
that they should Immediately turn
in their reports to the proper federal
reserve bank"
