Not Martyrs-Merely Pests.

Emma Goldman, the anarch-

begin serving her term for OBJ
structing the Federal army draft
law, says she does not claim to
be a martyr.

is that might makes right, and
that the German nation has been
chosen to exercise morally, men
tally and actually, the overload
ship of the world and must and
will accomplish that task and
that destiny whatever the cost
in b.oodshed, misery and ruin.
The spirit of that teaching, in
it's intolerance, its mixture of
sanctimoniousness and covetous-
ness and its self-righteous as
sumption of a world-improving
mission, is closely akin to the
spirit from which were bred the
religious wars of the past thru
the long and dark years when
Protestants and Catholics killed
one another and devastated Eu-
rope.

I speak in bitter disappoint-

Germany of former days, the
Germany which has contributed

nations of the earth.
And | speak in the firm faith

that former Germany is bound

of time, will again deserve and

But I know that neither Ger

Piles that the spirit which un-

the hateful doctrines and meth
DDS in pursuance of which and
in compliance with which it is
conducted are rejected with alb
horrence by the civilized world
and that the over-weening am

we all fondly believed has been

Who pledged ~ per cent of total collect

Above all, the element of self
sacrifice was noticeable. There
were several, who unquestionably
gave more than they could or
should have given. It must crafty
them to know that their sacrifice
meant more to the relief fund than
their own contributions, for it
served as a stimulus to others to
give, and to give more. So, for in
spiration, self-sacrifce, and the
evidence that the good old Jewish
"Rachmonus" was, still potent tho
not always patent, the luncheon
at the West Hotel will long be re-
membered as one of the most me-
morable experiences, by those who
were privileged to attend it. And
above all, it meant $4,000 for ac-
tual relief!

for his success as the cause he came

But there was another factor
the contagious enthusiasm at the
gathering. In fact, the Minneapolis
luncheon was splendid instance of
crowd psychology. The speeches
by the givers were few and short,
but each served as signal for new

At the Mass Meeting.

AZ CIlC W1dSS V1VCC1tSs
Nor was the mass meeting less
inspiring. It failed to come up to
the expectations Of the Committee
in the matter Of attendance. The
audience was responsive, but it
wasn't large enough, Cor was it be-
cause the auditorium was too
largely In all other respects it was
most pleasing. The total raised
approximately $4,000. But in view
of the fact that many of those pres
ent had been at the luncheon, or
had had contributions made in their
name, the 100000 raised was
satisfactory. 1t was pleasing to
notice the enthusiasm and the CO.
operation on the part of the ushers.
Everybody seemed more than will
ing to do his share. And, as for
democracy! why, the president of
a Temple actually was designated
as the usher in the second balcony,
(and had few to usher, more's the
pityD The depths of emotion to
which the audience was stirred
were quite real. Most of us had
read accounts of other meetings
addressed by DR.. Magnes; some of
us had even read the speech he de-
livered at the New York meeting.
But, as the Talmud says, seeing
is not like hearing" and witnessing
is more than reading. When women
actually gave their jewelry, when
fathers bought rings thus given
and presented them to their daugh-
ters, as a souvenir Of the stirring
meeting, when Magnes' moving de-
scription of suffering grey-beards
and children made the heart throb,
and the eye glisten, and sympathies
quicken; when Jewish generosity
was aroused, and the appeal to Jew
ish loyalty came loud and compel
ling, everyone present felt that the
moment was sacred with inspira-
ton.
But is that all that the visit of
Magnes is to mean. Suppose the
committee did think it would be
hard to raise $4,000 in six months,
and now at the end of two days
sees that sum in view, should that
be all? Decidedly, no! At the
meeting Of the larger committee
held at the Gymal Doled Club
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1917-05-11

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Perhaps no one was more sur
prised at the commendable results
Of the visit of DR.. Magnes than the
committee itself. The Relief Com
mittee, with it's galvanic chairman,
it's big-busines-men, and it's legal
advisors, not to mention the small
flock of others, scarcely dared hope
for $4,000 at the end of six
months Of hard work. And here,
within twenty-four hours, practi-
cally all of that sum has been sub
scribed. What is no less satisfy
ing was the spirit in which every
one concerned odd his bit'' ("his"
of course includes "her"). Per-
haps the best instance of this is the
luncheon itself, undoubtedly the
most inspiring event in the history
of Jewish luncheons in the city.
Typical Of this was the way the
lunc,1ers were n2arshalled. By
Tuesday morning, only half Of
those present had responded, The
others were gotten by d;nt of per-
sonal sci citation. Various members
of the committee telephoned those
who had failed to respond and in
ve!gled, begged, or threatened
them into attending. And after
wards, perhaps no one was better
pleased to have been there than
the very men who were thus in
duced to come.
AS DR.. Magnes put it, the expert
ence that Tuesday noon was reve-
lation of how little one knows him
self. Men who had come intending
not to give at all, gave literally;
those who had come to give, dou-
bled and trebled their intended
contributions. But is it any Won
der? Who could sit by and hear
the plain, unvarnished, unimpas
stoned, yet gripping recital of con-
ditions, without being moved? AS
for DR.. Magnes, everybody admit
ted that he had come up>to all ex-
pectations- more so. His en-
gaging personality, his manifest
sincerity, his modest, unassuming
simplicity endeared him to his au-
dience before he had uttered half
a dozen sentences. 1t is probably
not overstating it to say that the
mans personality accounts as much
