Moderation of Expression

Another soldier shot by Mexican sniper near Fl Paso on Tuesday. An Fl Paso dispatch men, tonng the affair remarked that this incident follow ing closely the shooting of Captain John Marx last Sunday, causing %considerable comment" The dispatch leaves in doubt as to whether the comment adverse or favorable or whether it was merely casual
 We do not know whether the people of Fl Paso are lethargic, or whether they have become case hardened to such incidents whether the corre- spondent is short vocabulary whether he is over moderate in the use of language. ,Some people are that way and some to the other extreme, saying much than they mean
 But considering the nature of the incident which is of more or less international character and further considering that one of many repetitions within the last two weeks should judge that the correspondent is close rival in moderation of ex- pression of early Wyoming settler once described by the late Bill Nye.

is about to go out of business and it adds very sig nificantly that business which is not capable of expanding is not worth maintaining. It is not known whether the wine association what it or not or whether the statement is not intended to prohibition amendment
 We do not think it will make very much differ ence and may accept the statement at it's face value. It is evident that there be expansion of the wine industry of the brewing and dstiling industries. The last two, though. account of the great capital tied up in them will probably be main- taned until the last bit of prohibtory legislation has been enacted. We easily see though, why the wine industry which, like the beer and whiskey in dustries is being more and more restricted might be abandoned in order that the ground now given to raising wine grapes could be turned to other The raw materials of which beer and whiskey made the other hand will continue be proftably produced after those industries extnguished.
 But with the end of the wine industry there will be for wine grapes, which worthless for any other purpose And it will not be serious blow anyhow to the wine grape growers, those who depended their upon sales to the wineries. The growers complained years ago that they could barely exist the runous prices fixed by the wineries. The vineyard which could be turned to other crops would yield much for their owners and those unsuitable for grain similar crops could be converted into table rasin grape vineyards
 So the statement of the wine association need not alarm the grape growers, and it would not, imagine greatly influence the attitude of the legisla- ture of California toward the federal amendment

THE MINIMUM AND MAXI
MUM OF JUDAISM.

There can be no question but that
the maximum of Judaism is the con-
sistent life of the Jew according to
ancient Jewish law and tradition,
the laws and traditions developed in
the Bible and the Talnud and fixed
in the medieval codes. That law
regulates not only Jewish theologi-
cal belief and Jewish worship, but
every aspect of the Jews life, and
every step in it's movements and
processes. But under present con-
ditions such Judaism is practicable
and possible only when the Jews
live their own independent group
life, in homeland of their own, in
an environment created by them
selves.
In other lands where handful of
Jews live as scattered individuals
or as organized small circles in the
midst of preponderatingly large
non Jewish communities and ele-
ments, this maximum of Judaism is
a well-nigh impossible demand. 1t
is not so merely because of the
heavy sacrifices it requires of the
faithful, but, because it places them
into constant conflict with their sur
roundings. The community, for

LACK OF JEWISH INTEREST.

The demise of such paper as the
Jewish Comment of Baltimore, after
a lorg, useful and dignified ca
reer, is worthy of more than pass
ing notice. Baltimore has a large
and prosperous Jewish community,
and tributary region where many
other, though smaller, communities
flourish. There was no lack of lit
erary talent for supplying the paper
with interesting reading matter. In
fact, nine rabbits, some of whom are
among the leaders Of the American
Jewish clergy, constituted its edi-
torial board. To the cynical this
may look as a source of weakness.
But it really was not so. After all
a rabbi, if he has any ability at all,
is the most logical person for the
editorial office of a Jewish paper.
Laymen who have exercised the edi-
torial function in the Jewish press,
or are, now exercising it, are rare
exceptions.
Yet the Comment has gone out
of existence. And we are quite sure
that the reason must have been lack
of financial support. We can think
of no other reason. The financial
support of paper, as is we'll known,
comes largely from it's advertisers.
The modest subscription price of
American newspapers is hardly suf-
fcient to cover the bare cost of print
ing and distribution, considering the

At last Lot, of Biblical fame, has
come into his own. All these cen
turtles he had been overshadowed
and obscured by all the other great
characters of Bible lore. Who ever
bothered about Lot? Who had a
kind word for him? The only men
ton of him in times gone by that
we remember was when people said
of a topper that he was as drunk as
Lot" But now he has been restored
to his noble estate by no less
Bible student and interpreter than
our own Rev. VIM. Riley Of the First
Baptist church of Minneapolis, who
last Sunday compared Mayor Van
Lear to Mayor Lot of Sodom. That
is certainly saying Lot of Van
Lear.

example, observes one Sabbath,
while they observe another. Sim
ilarly in regard to other observ-
ances. The community in which the
Jew lives has one language; his syna-
cog has another.
1t necessarily follows that the
Jew, to live normal life as a mem
Der of such communities and yet to
remain Jew, must reduce his Juda-
ism to minimum. And that has
actually been the tendency in the
development of Judaism in the lands
of the diaspora during the last hun
dred years. He bears the name Jew,
which unites him in fellowship with
all other Jews. He Participates in the
philanthropies intended to ameliorate
the condition of the more
unfortunate among them. And he
PROCESSES a religion that consists of
the fundamental ideas of the great
est religious teachers of his people,
the prophets of old faith in a right
eous God, and obedience to His NOR
al law. His formal worship of God
is made suitable to his modern hab-
it's and tastes.
This minimum of Judaism, faith
in, and worship of, the God of
Israel's prophets, and Jewish fellow
ship, is at the same time, and al
ways must be, as far as non-Pales-
tinian Jewry is concerned the maxi
mum of Judaism.

present high cost of material and
labor. In the case of the Jewish
Comment, then, it was lack of sup
port from the advertisers, the mer-
chants of the community. And sure
ly in Baltimore the Jews are well
represented in the mercantile class.
What is true of Baltimore is true
of every other community. Lately
another Jewish paper published in
large city voiced this plant. The
Jewish merchants, who are among
the most liberal advertisers in the
general press, withhold their pat
ronage from the paper that serves
Jewish communal interests. We are
utterly at "a loss to understand the
reason for it. Surely the Jewish pa
per reaches class of people that
has as much money to spend as any
other class. It is, therefore, as good
an advertising medium as any other.
And, while its circulation is limited,
the returns the advertiser gets is
surely proportionate to the more
moderate price he pays for the pub
licity. That the Jewish merchant
appreciates the value of publicity in
the Jewish paper of the community
is attested by the fact that he is
always eager to get any communal
enterprise in which he may be inter
ested written up in that paper. 1t
has some publicity value, then, when
the services are given gratis.
The only reason, therefore, that
suggests itself is lack of interest in
things Jewish. A Jewish paper is
one of the most helpful agencies for
the promotion of all Jewish inter
ests in the community. It is the aux
iliary of the pulpit, the school, the
philanthropies, the lodges, literary
societies and of every Jewish move
ment and activity, besides keeping
it's readers in touch with Jewish in
terests and affairs all over the world.
Should not Jewish people, who are
interested in the progress of their
Jewish community, give such a pa
per their support when it means
some gain to them at the same time?
