lE(DI TORI AL
JEWISH IDEALISM..

What kind of a people are we
Jews, anyway? This is pertinent
question just now, in view of our.
desire, ambition, and opportunity of
again building up Jewish nation
We talk about the peculiar Jewish
soul, genius, destiny, mission. How
much is there of all that?
Looking around and seeing the
different types of Jews we are fam
iliar with, we can hardly detect any
difference between them and their
non ewish neighbors and fellow
citizens. Their vices and virtues
they seem to have in common with
their neighbors. Jews and non Jews
alike seem to be the product of
their environment, their country
and their age The inveterate Jew
Halter, who is such from religious
bigotry, ignorance, or malice, con-
siders the Jews as inferior, morally
if not intellectually, to members of
other groups. Certain non Jewish
panegyrists consider the Jews as
superior race. To those who really
know Jews, and are unbiased, and
have no preconceived notions, no
such differences appear.

mirdingv you of the credit due, him.
Superior qualities? Yes, and some
times of a very undesirable kind.
Perhaps it were better that these
qualities never existed
1t is such men as Julius Rosen-
valid who. show us that after. all
there is "a certain something, be it
ever so subtle; ever so elusive, that
is peculiar to the Jewish soul. Let
us call it Jewish idealism

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

money-making is the ideal, the Jew
strives to make money. In nation
whose, nobility consists of its men
of wealth, the Jew seeks to enter
the ranks of this aristocracy, and
displays his wealth. In a generation
that hungers and thirsts for pleasure
and excitement, the Jew becomes
pleasure-mad.
Yet here and there some Jew
arises who shows that there is some,
thing in the Jewish soul which is
superior to the conditions of its en-
vironment. There is a certain in.
nate idealism, developed during. the
three thousand years of our history,
which, tho. suppressed in the mass,
comes to the surface in the life and
conduct of few chosen spirits. We
are not thinking just now of the
dreamers, the scholars, the saints,
the men who devote their lives to-
ideal pursuits regardless of material
rewards Of such, we believe, all
other civilized peoples furnish fine
examples in equal numbers. But
we have in mind the type that is
,exemplihed by such men as Joseph
Fels, and Julius Rosenwald.
Julius Rosenwald recently gave
journalistic interviewer brief
sketch of his life history and his
life and philosophy 1t reveals the
mans soul. 1t is not of the common
type. Julius Rosenwald is philan-
thropist. He has lately been giving
his wealth away in big chunks for
all good causes. 1t seems that his
ambition now is to distribute his
surplus wealth as fast as he is max
ing it. But there is nothing remark
able about that. There. are many
other philanthropists, Jews and non
Jews, who are. doing the same
thing. But Rosenwald's philan-s'
thropy springs from his philosophy
of material success. And in that it
is unique. He disclaims all credit
for his success. He has no special
talent, no superior ability, no merit
of any kind. 1t is all matter of
opportunity, SO he says. Opportun-
ity came to him, and made him what
he is Anv other man with the same
opportunity would have done equal
ly we'll, if not better. 1t is this
that prompts him to be a philan
thropist, to distribute his wealth
that came to him in such a manner.
We remember Joseph Fels speak
ing in the same vein, and giving the
same reason for devoting his wealth
to a cause that seeks to abolish mil

1t Is eminently desirable that We
should emphasize the moral obligation
which rests upon every child Of God to
cultivate the spirit Of thanksgiving and
to manifest that spirit in Its full beau
ty and power in all the relations Of
life. The thankful spirit reveals itself
in broad and true sympathy with 9TH
ers who are less fortunate than our
selves. 1t delights to remember the
widow and the orphan and strives to
carry the message Of Joy and gladness
into the homes Of the sick and the sor-

unto God as the author Of every good
and perfect gift, and insists on shar-

EXPLAINING ANTICS OF BEAN
Nothing Really Mysterious About
Seeds Which Furnish Mexican Poems
Cheap Gambling Paraphernalia.

One of the favorite amusements Of
the Mexican peon is the game he calls
''los brincones," which might be trans
lated "the jumpers" A circle of dusky
laborers grouped about an apparently
empty space in the sunny dust is a
characteristic sight south of the Rio
Grande. The objects Of interest, invis.
ible to the casual eye, are the 'brin-
cones" or jumping beans.
The game is one calculated to ap-
peal to the Mexican temperament. be-
ing form of pure gambling associated
with the irreducible minimum Of ply
steal effort. To the visitor 1t bears
also a touch Of mystery.
The players draw a small circle in
the dust and lay therein number Of
little brown beans, which are really
not beans at all. but the seeds Of some
native plant. Exposed to the rays Of
the sun and the solemn gaze of the
players, after time the beans begin
to move. They turn, they stir, they
actually hop about. The lure OF chance
consists in betting on which bean will
first jump out of the circle. and appar-
emily the game is fair. There would
seem to be no way of framing" the
mysterious beans.
The Mexican neither knows nor
cares why the beans jump, though their
behavior is most unusual for members
of the vegetable kingdom. Asked for
an explanation. he will shrug and re-
mark that 1t is the nature Of "brin-
cones" to jump. Why question the
wisdom of providence, which has seen
fit to provide her children with a cheap
and satisfactory apparatus for games
Of ehance7
Science. however, steps in with the
explanation that the innocent brown
bean In question is the home of GER
tain larvae. whose spasmodic move
ments early in life are responsible for
the antics Of II" -egetablc home.
