RUINED FOR LIFE.

What the matter, young
man, young woma.l: Why ere
soa letting opportunity slip
through your fingers? What
are Your plans Tor the coming
year? Do YOU intend TO qualify
for greater success? a small
investment now. accompanied by
earne st endeavor and q few
months of solid study in our
school will mean qualification, "a
position, promotion, increased
bank account and greater salts
faction all along the line of your
life. Why hesitate? Don't you
know that Uncle Sam and the
business office is calling for
young men and women trained
as Stenographers, Bookkeepers,
Telegraph operators and Sec
retaries? How much longer will
you stand aside and make eX-
cuses?
You can succeed. Other peo-
/ le-those who are succ eedlng-
nature didn't give them a single
extra bone or one more nerve
muscle or brain cell than you
possess. Their success was not
a birthright. 1t came out of
etforts-out of action. They
used their gifts-as you should.
They gained a training in our
College that developed and
broadened and increased their
talents-as you should. They
took aim at success and fired
away until they hit it.
Look around you Wherever
your eye turns, you see some
man or woman who had no bet
ter start than you-with no bet
ter general education or school
learning than you, but who
was wise enough to become es-
pecially trained in our special
lines who today is going ahead
fast and leaving in the rear
those who thought special bust
ness training unnecessary.
You should not think of sue
cess as a present, which Santa
Claus will bring and drop into
your stockings while you sleep.
Success is achieved by well
directed effort.
You have made excuses and
halted long enough. Your duty
to yourself is to come to a
decision NOW. Your best in
terests dictate a decision favor
ing your entering our college
NOW.
The object of this appeal is to
set you to thinking of your fu-

A BUSINESS MANS PRAYER

Teach me that sixty minutes

q pound, and one hundred cents
one dollar.
Help me to so live that | can
lie down at night with q clear
conscience, without a gun under
my pillow, and unhaunted by the
faces of those to whom | have
brought pain.
Grant that | may earn my
meal ticket on the square, and in
earning il | may do unto others
as ! would have others to do I'M
20 me.
Deafen me TO the jingle of
tainted money. and to the rustic
of unholy skirts. Blind me to
the faults of the other fellow,
but reveal to me my own.
Guide me so that each night |
look across the dinner table at
my wife, who has been bless
ing to me, | will have nothing to
conceal.
Keep me young enough to
laugh with little children. and
sympathetic enough to be con-
siderate of old age.
And when comes the day of
darkening shades and the smell
of flowers, the tread of soft foot
steps and the crunching of
wheels in the yard-make the
ceremony short and the epitaph
simple, HERE LIES A MAN"

COMMISSIONER ROPER
APPEALS TO ALL GOOD
CITIZENS TO HELP HIS

OEPI. ENEUkCE LAW
Declares Responsibility Is Not
Confined To Federal Officers:
Any Fi0uting Of Law Bring
Into Disrepute The American
Form OF Government; De-
ciares His Department Will
30 The Limit To Bring Of
tenders To Justice.
Commissioner Daniel c. Roper
on the evening of October %,
after the Senate and concurred
with the House in overriding the
Presidents veto OF the enforce
ment code and thereby made
that code Immediately opera
tive, issued an appeal to
churches, civic organizations
and welfare societies to aid the
Internal Revenue Bureau in en-
forcing the Prohibition law.
Any fiouting OF the law, Mr..
Roper declared, would bring In
to disreplte the American form
Of government. While the bu-
reau is made the agent to direct
the enforcement Of the measure
with the Department OF Justice
conducting prosecutions on
evidence obtained by the bu-
reau's men, responsibility is not
confined to federal officers, the
commissioner said. State. ccun-
ty and municipal officials are ex-
pected to do full share in
stopping and furnishing viola
tons, and the successful admin
lstration of the law, Mr.. Roper
said, will be measured largely
by the manner IN which these
officials meet their require
ments.
Mr.. Roper's plans contemplate
the organization of a Prohibi-
ton enforcement staff, which
will be devoted entirely to that
work, and completely disas-
ISOLATED from the tax collecting
activities of the bureau. There
will be a duputy collector in
Washington in charge of the
Prohibition section, and deputy
collectors in each district with
an efficient force of men under
them.
Pending the organization of
this force employees qualified
for the work who can be spared
from the tax work of the bureau
have been directed to cooperate
to the fullest extent with the
public and with local officers.
To prevent delay, collectors
The Monticellonian. [volume] (Monticello, Ark.) 1870-1920, 1919-12-12

and agents have been instructed
to confer with United States
district attorneys with regard
to cooperation in obtaining and
presenting evidence. Mr.. Roper.
IN his statement, after calling
attention to the fact that Con-
gress placed the responsibility
upon his department in spite of
the request that the department
be relieved of this duty, but add
ing that Congress having SO
decreed his department accepted
the trust with a determination
to fulfill its duty, says:
No law can be enforced effec-
lively except with the assistance
and cooperation of the law
abiding element. We accord
ingly have placed into operation
the necessary organization to CO.
operate with the public in the
rigid enforcement of the Prohibi-
ton law, and as chief enforce
ment officer | appeal to every
law-biding citizen to give me his
or her support.
CLOSE cooperation among
federal and state, county and
municipal officers is OF the
utmost Importance. Collectors
have been instructed to keep in
touch with governors and
mayors in each state and inform
sheriffs and all other local
officers of the vital necessity
of their Immediately assuming
their responsibility under the
new act.
1--WE expect unreserved CO.
operation from those moral
agencies which are interested so
vitality in the proper administra-
ton of this law. Such agencies
include churches, civic organiza-
tions, educational societies,
charitable and philanthropic
societies and other welfare
bodies.
I'VE undertake the task en-
trusted to us with sense of
assurance prompted by the
same abiding faith in the Ameri-
can people that enabled US to
appeal to them successfully in
the enforcement of the war
revenue laws.
THE public has supported US
SO nobly in tax matters that we
are confident it will not fail to
respond in the enforcement of
measure which, like the income
tax, now is part of the Con-
stitution of the United States.
| look forward to such enforce
ment of Prohibition as will
sustain the majority of the law
and the honor of American
citizens and American institu-
tons"

is a matter of great rejoicing to the people
of our land. Great fear was expressed that
his illness at this crucial time might serious
ly interfered with the course of affairs. Now
that he is better, nation is truly thankful.
May he soon have complete recovery!

"Thus in a sense the question of pull
pit freedom is not raised at all. For
it has been clearly understood since the
Free Synagogue was founded that the
rabbi speaks to his congregation but
for himself, that the congregation can
not always be expected to be in agree
ment with or to yield assent to the
views of the pulpit. Let no officer or
member of the congregation feel that
he is involved in responsibility for the
things that are being said today or that
were said last Sunday morning in this
pulpit. The speaker alone is response
BILE, and he conceives that his response
bility is not to his congregation but to
himself, to his conscience, and over and
above all to Him, whom he conceives to
have given him charge to speak"
This stand of Dr. Wise's is the stand that
ought to be taken by every rabbi who feels
that the pulpit must lead, and not follow, as
the teacher of morals. The day of buying
the pulpit with threats of resignation. stay
ing away from Temple, loss of position, ETC.,
ought forever to be past. No minister can
give his best and most sincere efforts, if he
has constantly hanging over his head, the
threats of the loss of his position Nor is
that minister worthy of the name rabbi
who has not courage to speak his convic-
tions in times of social and civic unrest.
For our part, we heartily agree with DR.
Wise in his course. We cannot say that we
agree with him in what he says about Gary
and Garyism. Our experience with the men
who have worked for us does not inspire that
high regard for certain types of organized
labor that DR.. Wise has-and we deal with
labor directly. But in his course as to
the freedom of the pulpit, in its absolute
duty to deal with the social questions of the
day, moral and civic, as well as religious,
DR.. Wise's position is absolutely unassail-
able, and the sooner we Jews recognize our
prophetic duty in this regard, the better
will be our rabbis, and the more courageous
will be our leaders. Let us not forget that
every social question-not EVERY FAD
is fundamentally religious question-and
for proof of this, consult the Bible works of
the mighty men whose teachings are the
beacons of light for those of their humble
followers who are not worthy to have
touched the hem of their skirts
Needless to say, the board of directors of
the Free Synagogue upheld DR.. Wise, as will
be seen from the account of their meeting,
in another column.

EDITORIAL
SHALL RABBIS BE MUZZLED?

some TWO WEEKS dSo, LIZ OCCPiioh NJ w jaw
of the Free Synagogue of New York, deliv-
cred sermon in which he scored in no un-
certain terms, Judge Gary of the United
States Steel Corporation, and his associates,
on account of their attitude towards the
steel workers. DR.. Wise was especially Bit
ter against the employers because of their
opposition to unionization and because
of their refusal to deal with the represen-
tatives of the union.
After the sermon, DR.. Wise found that
he had stirred up what at first seemed to
be hornets nest. A large number OF his
own members were large employers, whose
ideas about labor were exactly like those of
Judge Gary and his associates. The result
was that seven of DR.. Wises members re-
signed.
y When the rabbi found this out, he re-
peated the sermon of the previous Sunday,
and asked his board of directors to vote on
the question of accepting his resignation.
The pulpit of the Free Synagogue is a free
pulpit, but Dr. Wise felt that if the board
of directors of that Synagogue desired to
make it muzzled pulpit, they could do so,
but without him.
The board met, and of course decided that
the rabbi was entitled to his own opinion
But let the story tell itself, through excerpts
from DIR. Wise sermons
"Thus when the question whether or
not this pulpit should speak on the sit
uation that had arisen in the iron and
steel industry had presented itself, l
was governed finally by one considera-
ton which has been paramount thru
out the quarter of a century of my min
istry. Whenever it has seemed to me,
and from this rule have not depart
ed and shall not depart,-that the de-
cision whether or not should speak
might be influenced in any degree by
motives of prudence or fear of self
interest, have known but one course
and that was to speak and let the con-
sequences take care of themselves. 1t
was this circumstance, even though |
occupied no position of trust and res
possibility to the men with whom for
moment dealt, that brought about the
founding of the Free Synagogue"

when all is said and done, they who
today stand near to me and within the
membership of the congregation may
believe that am utterly mistaken, that
my views are unwise, that my teach
ing is hurtful But the men and wom-
en- of the Synagogue shall know that he
who stands in this pulpit is prepared to
sacrifice much, everything, but not his
integrity as a teacher of religion and
morals not his self-respect as the
preacher in the pulpit of this Syna-
goue.

social problems are in the balance, for
fundamentally every industrial-eco-
nomic problem is moral problem, it is
the pulpit of the synagogue. Ispeak Of
the pulpit though | would include the
pulpits of all churches. | believe the pull
pit to have duty and that duty does
not vary as between Christian and Jew
ish pulpits.
eff, however, there is larger and
higher duty, it is the duty of the Syna-
gogue pulpit. 1t does not pretend to
maintain the great and prophetic ira
dtion, but the pulpit of the synagogue
is charged with the responsibility of
prophetic memories and prophetic as
pirations. If the Jewish pulpit ought
to speak out at this time concerning the
industrial situation; then upon the pull
pit in which | stand, pledged to truth
speaking under freedom, there lies
most solemn and unacceptable duty. |
could not with self-respect remain sill
emit, and, if | did, and were indifferent
to the retention of that self-respect,
you would speedily and justly feel that
I had chosen the part of personal ease
and congregational advantage and you
would be the first to withhold your re-
spect even though half-heartedly you
continued your material support.
"The other charge, which | will no.
tice for moment and then allude to it
no more, is that | am undermining the
Jewish name, that have hurt the Jew
ish position by what have said and
done in the steel and iron industrial sit
uation. If that be true if | could bring
myself to believe that to be true, when
ever the moment comes that feel there
is any truth in that claim, that moment
will | leave the Jewish pulpit and for
swear it forever.
"If am to be silent on every great
moral issue because am Jew, if my
lips are to be sealed when truth and
conscience bid me speak lest hurt the
Jewish name, then | wish to live in
some place, small or large, near or re-
mote, where man can live without
wholly FORGETTING his self-respect. Of
this | would feel utterly reft if had to
shape my own course and govern my
speech at every moment by the thought
and the fear that someone might take
offence at or become hostile to my peo-
pie because of word honestly spoken.
My life and ministry have, trust, | do
not unduly flatter myself, not been I'M
serviceable to my peoples honor and
my peoples name. If for a moment

and choose to feel ill-will toward my
people because |, one of their teachers,
