dropped out OF sight some years ago when the voters
put the lid on the cup that cheers. But he's not selling
alcoholic stuff now, but is drawing two non.alcoholic
beverages with the same skill tina, he displayed in the days
that some are disposed to call the good old times"
Yes, the bartender is with us again. The same smile
is there, and the same polite methods which made him
the friend OF laborer and millionaire. Hes been phne a
long time, Just where We are not prepared to say. OF
course, he has not been engaged in selling liquor in Okla
homa, for that would have been against the law. But he
didn't drop out OF sight to stay, and he's back again, en-.
gagged in better business than in the old days.
Welcome back, Mr.. Bartender you're on the RICH,
track now. Your smile is pleasing to all Of those who
patronifed YOU in days gone BY Welcome. and may yor
prosper in your new line Of work.

weapons, when it is legal rights
that are invaded. But the use of
the weapons Of the law will do lit
tie, if aught, to correct and uproot
tendencies which are not so much
violative Of the letter of legal
status as of the spirit of American
life and American institutions. It
should not be forgotten that there
are some things so elusive and in
defnable, however evil, that they
cannot be fought.
In a moment Of distress touch
ing another serious problem in the
nation, which involves the adulter-
alton Of our religious life and the
lowering Of our moral standards,
| turned to one of the truly pro-
phetic teachers of religion in our
land, and his answer was "You can
not fight fog" One must wait I'M
til the sunshine dissipates the fog,
until the sunlight Of higher intel
ligence and finer sympathy dispels
the mists of prejudice and ill-will.
There are ways in which this evil
must be fought, but the weapons
to be welded by Jews or Christians
are not carnal nor outward but in
ward and spiritual.
Ere addressing ourselves to the
question, what if aught can Jews
do in order, if it be at all possible,
to minimize the evil effects of the
wrongful "No Jews Need Apply"
let us together consider, however
hard it may be for the indi-
vidual to remember, that great
may be the gains for Israel
resultant from this proscriptive
policy, gains to be jealousy cher
ished and guarded. "No Jews
Need Apply" is but minor symp-
tom of that world-attitude which
helps the Jew to a serviceable self
scrutiny, which makes it possible
for the Jew to retain certain de-
gree of objectivity even in the
midst of normally hurtful self
consciousness. Again, this world
attitude keeps fresh the Jews
sense Of sympathy with the worlds
wrong and disinherited. The Jews
compassion is never-failing, touch

Observation-Disclosures
The number of appeals that have
come to me in the accents Of youth
bewildered, panied, disillusioned,
has moved me to believe that, far
from making for strife and divis-
iveness, my word will be in keeping
with the national counsels Of peace
and unity, if bring home to some
in any event the grave evil that
underlies the proscriptive attitude
expressed in the formula iterated
with sickening frequency, mo
Jews Need Apply"
It is not solely in the industrial
world that "No Jews Need Apply"
is become little less than statutory,
though, in view of the magnitude
of the Jewish population of this
city, the employment of this for
mula in the realm of business
would be portentous in itself. The
truth is that "No Jews Need APP
ply is Of farther-reaching appli-
cation, for the law which it in
wolves is coming to be binding upon
an increasing number of social and
variously monumental institu-
lions such as clubs on the one hand
and schools on the other. AS for
those social institutions, known as
clubs, people are and always will
be free to choose their associates,
to elect their own comradeships.
But what could more clearly show
forth the penetration Of the life of
college and university throughout
the land by the spirit Of caste and
class than the circumstance that
no group Of social clubs is more
studiously and almost uniformly
proscriptive with regard to Jews
than those clubs which arrogantly
appropriate the title Of university
and convert that catholic name
into one of partisanship and par
ticularity?
What answer shall be given to
them who urge that it is the office
of self-respecting Jews to fight and
to fight openly and with every hon
orable means in order to combat
and if possible defeat this rising
tendency to shut out and to shut
away the Jew from the common
life of the nation? Times there are
when recourse must be had to legal

Let it not be imagined that |
speak without sorrow nor without
the restraints Of decent pride the
more seeing that in the main pro-
test is vain and that pleading is in
consonant with self-respect. That
it is a deep and even agonizing hui
initiation to touch upon this theme
at all, | must, however reluctant
ly, admit. If the QUESTION be asked,
whether the subject, 'No Jews
Need Apply" lends itself to dis
cussion at such a time as this when
the thoughts and energies Of the
whole people, are occupied with the
problems that arise from the prose-
cution of war, let it be answered
that it is out Of such elementary
misunderstanding and hostilities
as are those which make possible
"No Jews Need Apply" that war
is born.
Moreover, not only has the
world-war resulted from the evils
of human ill-will herein embodied
and illustrated, but this Of all
times is the hour for adjustment,
for national Eirenikon, for the
obliteration Of all distinctive rath-
err than conductive hyphenisms.
If young Jews throughout the ma
tion were to arise today and say
with respect to the army and the
navy "No Jews Will Apply" it
were no worse than to persist in
that fundamentally immoral, anti
American and anti-religious atti-
tude which expresses itself in the
familiar "No Jews Need Apply"
l would not, if could, push this
Eirenikon through as war-meas-
ure or as a encouragement.
Who, however, can really hope for
an international Eirenikon after
the war if we cannot have ma
tional peace in the midst of war?
How are we ever to come to love
our brother whom we have not
seen save in battle, if we persist
in ill-will respecting our brother
whom we know and see?
The measure of humiliation that
is involved in calling public atten-
ton as does this pulpit today to
the caption ''No Jews Need Apply"
/ will not even attempt to conceal.

Symphony Society

For the Symphony Society's initial
Sunday afternoon concert Of the season
at Aeolan Hall Walter Damrosch has
prepared a programme that is depart
ure from the conventional. Chief in
point of novelty is a work that will be
played for the first time at these con-
certs, Mozart's Symphony in d, No. 80
(Breitkopf and HarteD. This SYM
phony, typically "Mozartian," was first
performed in Vienna in 1856, and con-
siderable interest should attend its first
performance under the baton OF Mr..
Damrosch this Sunday afternoon. The
other numbers on the programme are
Handel's Concerto in f for two wind in
strument choirs and string orchestra
and the comedy overture, "The Pierrot
of the Minute" by Granville Bantock.
Another element of novelty that at
taches itself to this concert is the APP
pearance of Private Percy Granger, U.
S. A., as soloist. He viii play the
Rubinsten d Minor Concerto with or
chestra. This will be the first time that
Mr.. Granger will play with an orches-
ira since his enlistment in the 18th New
York Coast Artillery Band at Fort Ham,
ilton. The pianist forsakes tempo
rarily the saxophone and the oboe, his
band instruments, to fulfil number of
concert engagements, the proceeds of
which he will devote to the American
Red Cross. He has been granted
furlough by the War Department. This
programme will be repeated at Car
negie Hall on Thursday afternoon, No
vember 1.
The second Sunday afternoon sub
scription concert takes place at Aeolian
Hall on November 4. Three numbers,
all familiar, have been announced:
Goldmark's symphony, "A Rustic We'd
ding; Beethoven's concerto for violin
and orchestra in d, Mischa Elman, solo
list; and LISTS "Mephisto" waltz.

waltzes and sentimental waltzes from
the Germans, but the alluring swing
of the dance was always in them; II
remained for Tschaikowsky and his
confreres to write melancholy waltzes
that weight the feet of dancers as with
lead. We are not striving to depreciatc
the merit of the Russian school OF
composers. On the contrary, expires
sion has several times been given in
this journal to the belief that in the
near future Russia will hold the mu-
steal if not the political sceptre of Eu-
rope. This belief, however, is based
less on the poetic richness and pictur-
sequences of their melodies than on
the vigor, daring and ingenuity dis
played in the handling of forms, in
strumental colorS and harmonies. In
these things one might easily trace the
influence of their political and social
traits and surroundings. They tell oil
a huge yearning for characteristic ex-
preston which will one day break
through all the restrictions that now
confine it.
"The development of the American
school must be on different lines. We
are mixed people and our traditions
are those of Europe. We have no folk
melody to build upon, but must de-
velop that as well as a characteristic
mode of expression. The most natural
inference is that ultimately American
duced by the parent peoples. The lofty
ideals inspired by the elasticity and
excellence of our political institutions,
the social buoyancy resulting from our
freedom from the bonds of caste and
an hereditary aristocracy, the compre-
hensiveness Of thought and feeling in
vited by the outlook on horizon which
embraces every possibility of indi-
vidual, social and national life-these
things, combined with the quickness OF
intellect and fertility of invention cul-
tivated by the labors of subduing
continent, and combining the many
units Of our people into single whole,
will give to the American music of the
future an individuality which will be
Just as striking and unmistakable as
that based on national peculiarities of
melody and rhythm. 1t will then no
longer hover, as Mr.. Darcours says it
does now, between the German and the
French schools. 1t will be American
in thought, feeling, striving and at
tainment."
