party can look forward with confidence
to the changed condition Of things.
That party has always been the party
of truth. II has never had anything
to fear from frank discussions Of its

sition that were all the voters Of the

relegated to the discard for all time.
In general, the Democratic party is
the party Of ignorance 1t depends for
its strength upon the votes of the

THE WAR AS AN EDUCATOR

| Washington, Feb. 24-The Repub-
ilcan Publicity Association, through
its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne
Jr., today gave out the following
statement from Washington headquar-
tiers:
whatever may have been the evil
effects Of the war, it cannot be denied
that it has been the greatest educative
influence Of modern times. People Of
all countries have become better &C.
quainted with the citizens Of others,
and have larger understanding Of
the national aspirations Of neighbor-
ing states. In our own country atten-
ton has been directed as never before
to world problems. By constant read
ing Of the war news the average cit-
gen Of the United States is quite
familiar with the geography Of Eu-
rope and Asia, the struggles for indie
pendence Of their races, and the pres
ent economic condition of the states
involved in the war, and is possessed
Of general comprehension Of foreign
questions about which he understood
practically nothing FIVE years ago.
"The same effect is noticeable with
respect to similar matters in our own
country. The composition Of the gov
eminent at Washington, the power
which Federal authority holds over the
people, the relation TO each other Of
the legislative, executive and judicial
branches, the power Of the President
under the constitution, the question Of
government control Of public utilities,
methods Of raising revenue and appro-
priating il for the expenses Of the
government, the conduct Of our for
eign affairs-all these subjects and
many others are matters Of daily COM
ment in the press and have been 30
intimately connected with the waging
Of the war that the reading Of war
news has carried with il a general
study Of our government in its varied
aspects.
Particularly has this influence Of
education been felt in the training
camps for our soldiers here and
abscad. Men have been taken from all
levels Of society BY the draft and
blended together on terms Of practical

THE NOBLE THREE HUNDRED
AND SEVENTH ~

Twas in the days of the great worlds
war my friend, on a far away for,
eign strand,
When the good old ship "Grampian'
cur unit noble did land.
There were men from South Carolina
also some from Tennessee,
Some had come from California, still a
few had followed me.
Well we landed there in England on a
raw November day,
And each one thought of the home
folks few thousand miles away.
We marched straight out through Liv-
erpool to Walton on the hill,
And walking on those cobbled roads
was enough horse to kill.
There upon a dinkey railroad stood a
dinkey little train
With not enough square feet of roof
to keep one from the rain.
Well we punched up in those coaches
till our heads did fairly ring,
And Tommy corporal handed US a
message from the King.
At last the darnd train started a
rumbling down the track,
Each Yankee lad who tried to sleep, all
next day rubbed his back.
At ten o'clock at Derby, our RED
Cross" good and great,
Had prepared us buns and coffee and
each one ate and ate.
We left the train at Romsay, twas
just at three A. NJ,
Our packs we slung upon our backs
nd hiked right down the stem.
Through many q crooked village
street. up winding, billy trail,
We marched and the rain beat on us
like binding hens eggs hail.
At last we hit the rest camp, Camp
Woodley, 20 they said;
And II ever man stayed fortnight
there. It's a sure bet he is dead,
They crowded US into q round house
tent, to each one, twenty men;

But 70 tell the truth OF tho matter
there was barely room for en-.
We stayed here just couple Of days
and again took to the train,
And after short half hours ride were
again relieved Of the strain.
For there in the foggy distance. and I,
was foggy, too;
A city, IL you care to call IL such,
southampton, hove in view.
We waited around on those docks tina,
day for many dreary hour;
And when at last our boat pulled out,
our stomachs sure were sour.
They heaved up on the benches, they
hcaved up on the floor,
They tried TO get in at the toilet. but
spilled il at the door.
II was just at the dawn of daylight,
afar through foggy screen,
A vision of France rose before US with
its fields of lovely green.

We disembarked at Cherbourg, and
brcathed of the rain laden air;
And after two days in a rest camp
there, we started for st. Nazaire.
We travelled this time in box cars, with
rumble and grumble and roar;
And each lad cursed the Hun for caus-
ing this terrible war.
AT st. Nazaire with more dampened
air where we slept on Stats at night,
We worked all day at reception park
and at night were ready to fight.
They gave us slum for breakfast and
at night ii was Stun again,
They dished it all out in the kitchen,
but we ate it in the rain.
At last we moved to Reception Park
where the mud was clear up to our
chin,
And once we slipped off from our own
small perch our chances were very
thin.
The rain came down by the buckets
full with dark clouds rolling past,
And to our great sorrow they told us
we'd be here TO the very last.
We toiled here from the dawn of day
to the middle of each dark night,
And the lads coming into the barracks
from work presented a terrible sight.
We prayed each day for the end of
the war, for the ship to come and
take US home,
Cor in the land Of sunny mud not one
of us cared to roam.
Ne have seen the oceans roughness,
we've seen old England's fog;

mud makes as feel very much like

day for the ship that won't go down;

RABBI HENRY COHEN ILL.

Advices from New York state that Rabbi Henry
Cohen Of Galveston, just underwent serious oper-
alton. Rabbi Cohen is one of the greatest and
mostbeloved. rabbis Of the country and it is earn
estly hoped that he will have speedy recovery.
AT the last reports he was doing very well.
Not only Jews but thousands of non-Jews count
themselves friends Of Dr. Cohen. As man, he is
without doubt the most beloved man in Texas and
the Southwest where he is the Dean of the rab-
bincal profession.

THE JEWISH WELFARE BOARD.

w
There was an old Roman, Cato by name,
who had one ambition in life 1t was to see
the rival city of Rome, Carthage, destroy
ed. He hated that city with all the hatred
of an old Roman. He hated it so that he
made up his mind that every time he had
the opportunity, he would end his speeches
with Carthage deenda est" Carthage
must be destroyed.
Now we are not conceited enough to COM
pare ourselves to old Cato, nor do we hate
the Jewish Welfare Board. On the con-
trary, we believe that the Board has achiev-
ed a great deal, and has added an honor
able and worthy chapter to this history of
American Israel. But we believe it's work
is done, and that it ought to commence to
"demoblize" itself. This is why we pub
lish as often as we do, paragraphs against
the movement of the proposed permanency
of the Board.
We have published excerpts from letters
from rabbis in the East and the South.
Here are two portions of letters from rab-
bis of the Central West and far West.
"Appropos of the Jewish Welfare
Board, it has occurred to me that even
did one favor the continuation of its
work in post-beum days, yet one would
have to consider carefully whether
any work of serious nature could be
entrusted in the hands of some of the
men who are handling it now. | fail

tocratic manner in which | was treat
ed, and | know of at least one other
case of rabbi who was forced 10 re-
sign because of the cheapness of The
action. on the part of some ir power.
With absolutely no malice whatever,
heartily endorse your stand"
Here is the sentiment of prominent
rabbi from the far West:
81 find myself in accord with much
that you say and am glad you say it.
endorse your position with reference
to the Jewish Welfare Board perman-
ency, but feel that can do more to
nullify the same out here-if any SER
ious attempt is made-by silence, at
present"
1t may be of interest to know that two
of the largest branches of the Jewish Wei
fare Board, namely, Cincinnati and Rich
mond, have voted to close their work up
A number of cities in the Southwest have
also closed up their work.

jacob AND MARK.

cobb and Rear Admiral Adolph Mark have
caused the loss of two men who had achiev-
ed the highest success in their own particu-
lar fields. Jacob was the dean of the medi-
cal profession in America; Mark had dis
tinguished himself in his work in the Amer
lean Navy.
It is however, from the point of view
of Jews, that we want to consider these
men. It is characteristic that number of
Jewish periodicals have written highly
eulogistic articles on the life of DR.. jacob.
1t is again the same old habit of dragging
in anyone who has made mark for him
self, and was born Jew, and in his life, the
religion of his parents was about as far
from his mind, as his kind of religion was
from those his sires.
DR.. jacob was great man. He achiev-
ed nobly in the field to which he had dedi-
Gated himself. So did the late DR.. Murphy;
so did the late DR.. Mckinney; so did others.
But we did not read editorials about them
in the Jewish Press.
1t is true that by his anti-Semitic COL
leagues, DR.. jacob was considered Jew,
or probably more correct, Hebrew. There
are some who do not know that while the
eminent doctor had practiced medicine in
this country for more than sixty years and
had achieved an international reputation
more than thirty years ago; yet it was
comparatively late in life that he was given
the great distinction of being elected to the
presidency of the American Medical Asso-
citation, tho after his election, he was given
an extraordinary ovation. 1t is safe to
say that in private conversation, DR.. Jacob
probably said that the only thing that his
Jewish origin ever did for him, was to
prevent his getting honors which he might
have gotten earlier but for his Jewish
origin.
And this statement we make, not in a
desire to belittle the dead, but because we
have heard it dozen times from men stu
ated just as was Jacob, and from men who,
so far as their religious affiliations are con-
cerned, live just as he did.
DR.. jacob was one of those men who
was carried away by the thought of democ-
racy and universal brotherhood of nearly
century ago. Like hundreds of others, he
came to this country, because absorbed in
its life, and with that super-liberal point of
view that characterized many of the Jews
that came here from Germany and Austro-
Hungary, he became what in German is
known as "confessionslos," without relig
ious profession. That he was born of Jew
ish parents, was not his doing. He knew
that he did not care for Israle faith; and
as a political entity, he was an American,
not a Hebrew. He had learned from his
early days-as had hundreds of others, that
in Europe, to be "a Jew was but to be pre-
vented from career" And he probably
thought as little of Christianity as he did

get "Taufschein," and call himself Chris
tian. He knew the disadvantages of being
a Jew in Europe-he failed to know and to
estimate the responsibilities of being Jew
in free land.
And thus jacob lived, as did Joseph Pull
itizer, and as do others of our knowledge.
He could not shake off his Jewish birth;
so he to a certain extent, outlived it. His
life was not Jewish in any particular sense
of the meaning of the word; he had no
Jewish religious affiliations; to him, char
ity is not more Jewish than Christian or
Mohammedan. His domestic life was not
Jewish, and his funeral was conducted by
non-Jews.
All this does not take away from the
great achievements of DR.. Jacob in the
field of medicine. What we object to, is
this undignified ''hofjude" fashion of TAX
ing in those who in life excluded themselves
from the religious fraternity of Israel
Nothing can be said in the columns of the
Journal of the American Medical Associa'
ton which would be praiseful enough for
the tremendous good that DR.. jacob did
as a child specialist; but when it comes to
the editorial columns of Jewish weeklies,
the matter is altogether different. And
we believe that if the intimate friends Of
DR.. jacob were asked what they thought,
they would agree with us. jacob as ply
stefan was an eminent personality; DR.. ia
cobb as Jew, did not exist.
1t was somewhat different with Mark.
His wife, we are told on fairly good author
ity, is a Russian Jewess. His life was Of
ficially Jewish, and to the last, he maintain
ed these Jewish affiliations. AS Admiral
Mark the Jew, who by the way, as fate
must have decreed, was the Judge Advocate
General in the investigation of the Maine
disaster and whose findings were to large
extent responsible for our war with Spain
AS Jew, Mark HAS added to the glory
of the Jews in America.
We have on other occasions protested
against dragging into Jewish life, those who
have succeeded pretty well in dragging
themselves out of it. There ought to be
stop to it. We suspect that there is still
left in the bodies of some of our Jewish edi-
tors that old ghetto feeling, which some one
has described as 'kick-me-again-your
cellency-feeling," relic of that life of the
Jew, which made of US a somewhat cring-
ing pensioner of some crazy, WORKOUT noble
man. In the days when king or his bench
man had the life of whole community of
Jews in his hands, fawning, cringing
and unmanly attitude was excusable; today
it is not, We can rise in this great free
land to the full height of our stature-n
the press and out of it; we have enough
great JEWS TO write about-let us leave
those alone, who want to be left alone: let
us not mar the dignity of our faith and our
