dation Of the amendment to the en-
forcement bill on national prohibition
by the senate temperance committee, be
made part of the measure, the sell
ing Of intoxicating liquors would be
allowed in the counties Of the state
which are now dry, and besides remove
the limit Of time as to when beer and
light wines of the content recommended
can be sold. The recommendation is
that fermented or malt liquors are not
to exceed two per cent Of alcohol by
weight, which content is stated to be
equal to 254 per cent by volume. It is
further stated that should the proposal

on our statutes against the sale of
Intoxicating liquors will be abrogated
so far as beer Of per cent content is
concerned. Manufacturers or whole
sale dealers would be allowed to sell in
sealed packages Of not less than two
gallons, not to be consumed on the
premises. Retailing is not to be done
except in dining rooms Of. bona 6de
hotels or restaurants licensed as such
It is the opinion Of those in close touch
with the matter, that it would allow
a saloon to be transformed into a res
taurant by the installation of a table

There is little question but that if the
liquor business had been light wine

years ago, the prohibition matter would
not have gained any such Roadway al
it has, but apparently it is too late t.
offer any middle course with the ikeli
hood Of acceptance by the people.

which will set at naught our strivings and
our achievements of centuries.
Let us not forget that the essence of re-
ligion is right-living. To live right-and to
permit the other fellow to live right-that is
one of the pillars of religion, and he who vio-
lates this principle, cannot possibly realize
the teachings of his faith-no matter what
else he does. To be Godlike means this and
much more-but if it does not mean this, it
means nothing.
He who would dedicate himself anew to
our faith, will dedicate himself also to the
service of mankind He who will recall
himself from life of wrong-doing, will if
he be sincere, awaken to life of service to
others as well as to himself He who will
start the New Year with faith in God and
man, will not forget that this faith will find
its highest realization in that kind of life
which will serve itself, but which, in this
service, will not forget God and men, and
which in serving God, will not forget service
to others.
To live-and to let live-this is the chal-
lenge of the New Year-and life so lived
will go long way towards avoiding those
difficulties towards which, some believe,
we are tending.
To all of us, may God grant Year of
Health, Happiness and Success, and to our
country, year of Peace and Plenty.

did for the congregation of Ell Paso, his real
religious feelings were made manifest.

was worth emulating Broad-minded, kind
hearted, genial and thoughtful of the inter-

self which will not easily be forgotten. Real

have known him only few years, we can
easily imagine how deeply they feel the
loss who have been associated with him for
many years.
1t is with splendid judgment that Rabbi
Zeonka has suggested memorial for Mr.
Krakauer in the shape of some charitable
institution; it would be the finest monument
to life so worthy and so unselfish as
that of our late friend, Robert Krakauer.

THANKS, COLONEL.

Some time ago we commented on the fact
that although other war-workers' work had
been recognized by their heads through let
ters of thanks for the cooperation rendered,
to our knowledge the head of the Jewish
Welfare Board, has not yet seen fit to say at
least personal word of appreciation to
those who helped to make it possible for him
to make success of the work of the Board.
Whether the Colonel read our editorial or
rot we do not know, but it is only fair to
him to give publicity to the following letter:

bob" KRAKAUER NO MORE.

1t was with deep sorrow that we read of
the accidental death of Robert Krakauer of
Ell Paso. We have not yet been able to get
the details, and know only the terribly sad
fact of his demise.
Bob" Krakauer was fine example of the
man who lives for others as well as for him
self. He was perhaps the most popular man
in FL Paso, and he had this popularity de-
servedly, He was not man who gave him
self to his business for the sake of making
business success only; Bob" Krakauer
business success would not be worth while
unless that success meant the helping of
the many humanitarian objects in which he
was interested.
He was city builder he was a character
builder, and his Influence was not bounded
by the limits of his city or its surrounding
territory. He was yet young man, but in
his years he had crowded judgment, reserve
and that ripeness of heart which often
comes only with old age.
We learned to know Bob" Krakauer
through the interest he took in the build
ing OF the new Temple of FL Paso, and
through our mutual friend, Rabbi Zielonka,
whom Mr.. Krakauer so greatly admired.
We recall his fine modesty as he told of the
work ne had done as chairman of the Build
ing Committee. We remember with what
tenderness he spoke of the fact that in as
Stunning the Craftsmanship of the Building
Committee of the Temple, he was but fol-
lowing the footsteps of his late father, who
had been the chairman of the Building Com
mittee of the old Temple. Krakauer was

THE NEW YEAR.


amid the pain and sorrow of war, but amid
the high hopes that another world-war will
never occur. The dreary uncertainty of
the beginning of 5679, will have given way
to universalized Jewish hope for universal
peace.
Two great considerations will stand out
for those who contemplate the New Year,
from larger than personal point of view.
First will come the thought of the great
part the Jew has played in the recent war.
The fine heroism displayed by our men at
times when danger was greatest, will make
us thankful. The immortal fame won by
the mixed East-side multitude known as the
"Lost Battalion" will gladden. the hearts of
those who for years have defended the Jew
ish name and Jewish honor. The fine con-
duct of our men-many of them not yet nat
uralized citizens-have added chapter to
the history of American Israel, than which
there is none more honorable. And what
our men did in America, the other nationals
did in other lands. The Jew of today has
proved himself worthy descendant of the
ancient Maccabeans.
And another thought that will be present
in the minds of those who contemplate the
events of the year just passed, will be the
greater glory to our faith brought out by
the war The world is moving Isaiah-and
Micah-ward. The Jewish ideal of Peace has
taken such hold of mankind, that unless
some mental catastrophe occurs, it will find
itself realized.
A League of Nations for the Preservation
of Peace is coming. 1t may not be the
present form over which such fight is be-
ing waged. President Wilson may lose his
Highland he may not The fact is that
League of Nations will be established, and
Peace will be preserved, if human efforts
will count for anything
No ideal among Jews has been more earn
estly hoped for than Peace. 1t has become
part of the very essence of the Jewish hope.
In our literature and in our prayers, Shalom
(Peace) has been goal for the realization
OF Whlch millions OF prayers went up; and
the peace that was desired was not only the
peace of the individual and the Jewish peo-
pie, but the peace of the world.
Here again, has the beauty of our faith
been redeemed-and for those of us, whose
mission it is to battle for our religion, this
thought of victory is a supreme satisfac-
ton. 1t is only another indication, that
the Ethics of Judaism will conquer in the
end.
On the personal side, the New Year will
have new call for us. The chaos brought
about by the war, has not yet been cleared
away. In fact, we may be at the threshold
of great upheaval. Unless passions are
controlled, unless cooler heads predominant
and soberer judgment prevails, we may be
plunged into terrible economic conflict

own interests, managers adopted the
practice, not likely now to be departc l
from, of announcing plainly beforehand
not only what piece would be played,
but also who would play in it. Then it
soon happened that each actor of i'm
portance aimed at securing for himself
a particular following; and this seems
first to have suggested to managers
the advisability of doing for an entire
piece what The performers proposed to
do for those portions Of it ONLY in
which they themselves were individu

The Busy Claque
The claque, by the way, does not
seem ever to have gained foothold
in Germany. so that we ought perhaps
to have said that they do these things
better in France or Hungary. In Buda-
pest all the artists of the opera are
made to give up percentage of their
ices for the remuneration of the
claquc, which has official recognition
from the company, if not from the
government, which owns and controls
the opera. The head claqueur has given
himself title. A few years ago. we
are told, when an old artistic function
airy was honored on tho anniversary
of his entry into service at the es-
Establishment, the gift from the claque
was proudly inscribed: "To the Man

Origin of the Claque

Thirty years or SO ago Mr.. G.. Suther-
land Edwards, in one of his chapters on
the history Of the prima donna, said that
the origin of the claque had been traced
to the custom, comparatively recent in
France, of publishing the names of the
performers in the playbill. Until near
ly the end of the eighteenth century,
he says, "it was considered bad policy
to do so; for if an audience could be
attracted one night by favorite per
former it might equally, reasoned the
managers, be kept away another night
by unWillingness to see a performer
not generally admired. At the Grand
Opera matters were brought to q crisis
by an assault. which a disappointed
amateur committed upon a ticket deal
cr who had sold him place for a
representation in which an obnoxious
vocalist, named Ponthieu, took part.

the man whose musical feeling he had

indeed, impossible for outsiders to
