For us Jews the Minneapolis War
Chest means great deal. 1t means
the liberal support of our local as
ISOLATED Jewish Charities, Of Our
millions of war-suffering brethren
abroad, and of Jewish Welfare Work
in army and navy. But it means
more than that 1t means greater
unity and harmony among all classes
and sects, a new bond of brother
hood, the diminution of racial and
religious prejudice from which we
Jews are always the greatest suffer
ers. Our duty, therefore, is clear.
We must put into the War Chest
more than we expect to get out OF
it for our own benevolences. And
we must give readily and cheerfully.

THE RIGHT TO RESENT.

When an organization has a pub
lie lecture delivered under it's aus
pices in the presence Of its Jewish
members and their friends, in which
s1urring and insulting remarks and
misleading statements are made, and
biased opinions given out about the
Jew, the lecturer speaking from
sheer ignorance, drawing his misin-
formation from anti-Jewish sources,
and repeating the old vulgar preju-
dices; and when such organization
does not, by way of apology, pub

THE CLUB, THE PROFESSOR,
AND THE JEW.

We were much interested in an
announcement by the Minneapolis
Woman's Club of lecture on "The

professor. Why the Jew should
have been selected for such special
treatment, we did not quite under

IN PROPORTION.

In PKOPOKllON.
In a recent statement in one OF
our local papers the total member
ship of the Socialist party in Min
nesota was given as 200. In the
enumeration of the different locals
there was mention of the "Minne-
apolis Jewish" local with member
ship of S.. That is small enough
number, considering how often the
impression is conveyed by the press
of the strength of Socialism among
the Jewish masses. Of course, some
of our conservative people will say
that there are fifty-fve too many of
them, that we should not have any
at all. This, in Our humble opinion,
is not at all desirable. Our conten-
ton has always been that we Jews,
like all other human beings, are the
product of Our environment, of the
times and the circumstances IN
which we live. Our antecedents,
the forces that operated on us in the
past, are easily made nugatory in
one generation by our present en-
vironment, the forces that operate
on us now. If there is something in
our modern life, in modern indus
trial and commercial conditions,
that makes people responsive to
Socialist pleading, then there is no
reason why Jews should not furnish
their fair quota of Socialists. 1t is
much better that it should be so
than that some of Our libelers
should say that all Jews belong to
the capitalist class.
What we fail to see, however, is
why such Socialists should call their
"local' Jewish. Surely there is moth
ing Jewish about their brand of So
cialism. If they were advocating
Pa1estinian Socialism, or Socialism
in Palestine, or a specific kind Of
Socialism drawn from Jewish
sources, the Torah or the Talmud,
the designation Jewish would be
proper. But it is the ordinary
American brand of Socialism, that
of Debs, Spargo, Russell, Van Lear,
etc., and is meant for America only.
Why, then, call it Jewish?

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

serious tnOuSHI, lHcy COulu, WITHOUT
the aid of a professor, have arrived
at the conclusion that the Jew was
a human being. Had they sought
further knowledge, and resorted to
the Christian Bible, they would have
found Paul's statement that God
hath made of one blood all nations
of men," Had they looked for fur
Their light from more modern sources
of wisdom, and consulted such a
mastermind as the Bard of Avon,
they would have found him saying
on behalf Of the Jew: Hath not
Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands,
organs, dimensions, senses, affec-
tons, passions? fed with the same
food, hurt with the same weapons,
subject to the same diseases, healed
by the same means, warmed and
cooled by the same summer and win
ter, as Christian is? If you prick
us, do we not bleed? If you tickle
us, do we not laugh? If you poison
us, do we not die? and if you wrong
us, shall we not revenge? If Jew
wrong Christian, what is his
humility? Revenge
Had the good women wished to
still further satisfy their thirst for
knowledge by their own observation
and study from life, they could have
called together the Jewish members
of their own club, and several hun
dred other Jewesses, together with
their husbands and children (they
can be easily gotten together on
short notice. had a good talk with
them (they talk the same language
as the professor) taken certain mea-
surements and tests, and thus con-
WINGED themselves that after all
Shakespeare is right-the Jew is
normally human.
But, it seems that, in the judgment
Of the good women, all that would
not have been sufficient They must
have a professor. They were evil

not discernible to the ordinary eye
of a Shakespeare, and discoverable
only by the acute vision of a pro-
lessor The professor, Of course,
had to satisfy the curiosity of his
clientele otherwise of what avail is
it to be professor0 and, according
to reports, did exhibit the Jew as a
most curious specimen.

TWO BOYS LEAVE
FOR CAMP IN
ARIZONA

Last Friday afternoon the people of
Carson Valley gathered at the court
house to honor two more young men
who departed on that day for mill
tary training camp in Arizona. The
two boys, Henry Godecke and Mel
Anderson, were introduced to the big
crowd by District Attorney Brockliss,
and they were greeted with loud ap-
plause. Following several patriotic
songs by the high school girls, Rev.
F. H. Menzel was introduced as the
principal speaker.
He delivered one of the best clear
cut, and patriotic talks yet heard
at the departure of young men from
this county. He assured them that
the people of Douglas county were
back of them to the limit of their
financial resources as well as their
moral support. He cited that Jesus
was crucified and died that we might
be saved and enjoy everlasting life.
That the youth OF America to day
were fighting to crush autocracy and
free the earth OF that rule. That they
were fighting for just cause and
should consider it an honor that they
had been thus selected. He cited
that President Wilson had urged the
people of this land to offer up prayer
for our boys across the seas and in
the cantonment camps. "Be generous
in the purchase of Liberty bond, War
Savings Stamps, and above all things
offer up prayer for our gallant men,"
said Rev. Menzel. After he had COM
pleted his address, the fife and drum
corps headed parade that accompan-
led the two boys to the depot. The
crowd filed by and shook the hands
of these two estimable young men,
and as the train started, three mighty
cheers went up from the hundreds of
throats. The demonstration was very
similar to dozens that have occurred
and dozens that are to come.
