LOWDEN URGED
FOR PRESIDENT
ON WAR RECORD
Former Omaha Man Here Tells
Reason Friends Support
Illinois Governor for
High Office.

State Senator Clarence F. Buck
of Monmouth and Joseph c. Ma
son of Springfield, Ill.,, were at the
Hotel Fontenelle yesterday. Both
have many friends in Nebraska, Mr..
Mason especially having wide ac-
quaintance acquired through work
on The Bee and other Nebraska
newspapers.
Senator Buck and Mr.. Mason
called on numerous Omaha citizens
during the day in the interests of
Governor Frank 0. Lowden, the
war governor of Illinois, whose
friends are presenting his name to
the people for consideration for the
republican nomination for president
of the United States.
From every part of the country"
said Mr.. Mason, "are coming fat
tering assurances of support. The
attention of the people has been at
tracted to Governor Lowden by his
sterling Americanism. He was the
first governor to pledge unfailing
allegiance to President Wilson and
the federal government when diplo-
matte relations with Germany were
severed. From that moment he
gave the federal administration his
loyal support. In not single in
stance did he fail to respond when
the Washington authorities called
for assistance and cooperation.
Offers Use of Farm.
From the first Governor Lowden
had a clear vision of what the war
meant. He offered his fine farm in
the Rock River valley to the gov
ernment for training camp. Some
one asked if he did not know it
would be ruined. Surely he
responded, but if we don't win this
war it will be worthless anyway
I'm the stress of war Mr.. Low
den went up and down the state,
TO training camps and environments,
preaching patriotism and inspiring
always inspiring-the people to
greater effort. He saw the Illinois
troops aboard ship in New York,
cheering them on their way with
words of encouragement and hope.
Fc promised to meet them upon
Their return and he kept his word,
na';ing three trips to New York to
do i.
Mr.. Lowden proved himself a
great war governor. In the face
Of war he reorganized the govern
ment OF Illinois, abolishing IFS
boards and commissions and con-
solidating their agencies in nine
major departments with director
at the head of each. who was re-
quired to live in Springfield and give
his entire time to his duties. He
provided for the budget system
which proved so effective that taxes
were reduced from 30 to IS cents
the first year, thereby saving to
the people $4,000,0M. In the COM.
ing tax levy another reduction will
be made. He bears the. distinction
of being governor who reduced
taxes notwithstanding war prices.

His new system immensely inn

ton.
"He is distinctly popular with the
people of Illinois. They voted $780,
100000 in bonds for good roads to
be paid from automobile licenses.

convention. They approved his
private bank regulation bill and
wildcat banks are no more. Hi

Lowden has done while war was IN
progress and the country was sui
fering from its aftermath. Born IN

ton in Iowa, admitted to the bar to
practice law in Illinois, he won his
way to success in competition with

He talks the language the people

They believe he appreciates their
problems and knows how to help
them solve them"

The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1919-10-03

De a traVeSty on tne common
sense of our hard-headed laymen
were one to suppose that such
were the case. And yet, paradox
ical as it may seem, the average
layman is of the impression that
oratory is the be-all and end-all
of the congregations concern in
choosing a rabbi.
Let US not forget, however,
that we are known as "the Peo-
pie of the Book" and that our
faith stresses knowledge. An old
rabbinical adage is to the effect
that "the ignorant one cannot be
religious" If this applies to the
layman in Judaism, how much
the more to the rabbi? Learning
and especially Jewish learning, is
q prime requisite Of the Jewish
minister. In order to expound
the tenets of our faith, the rabbi
must know them in all their
ramifications. The history, the
literature, and the life of the
Jewish people must be thorough
ly familiar to our religious teach
ers, not to speak of the indispen-
sableness of considerable secu-
lar learning. And yet our all
wise laymen under estimate it in
the spokesman of the synagog.
Secondly, the rabbi was ever
regarded as the man of God in
a peculiar sense. Not that he
was the saint in the sense of
Church usage; but by virtue of
his character he set the example
of the exalted life. By his aloof-
ness from the petty, the small
and the trivial, he cherished lof.
ty ideas and ideals and inculca-
ted them in others. His influ-
ence lay in the beautiful life he
led; his very life was a sermon.
The power of his example acted
like a pillar of cloud by day and
a pillar Of fire by night, ever
pointing the way to the God-like
life. This element in the life Of
our religious leaders is no less
imperatively demanded now.
Like learning, and by far more
necessary than oratory, charac-
ter is sine qua non in the relig
ious teacher and moral guide,
having the power of strengthen
ing the influence of his spoken
word.
Nor should we ignore that in.
defnable, intangible something
often referred to as religiosity.
1t is indispensable in the relig-
ious teacher to possess in a
marked degree that trustfulness
and faith in God regardless Of
the trials of life, that modesty OF
demeanor in the very midst Of

may one be expected to draw
Others nigh unto God, if he,
himself, were not blessed with
these God-like qualities? What
one wishes to arouse in others,
one must first own himself. And
the rabbi, in spite of his learning
and character, yea, even in spite
Of his oratory, would be of little
force religiously and morally, if
he were not endowed with the
native traits of humility, kindli-
ness and the fear of God. 1t is
not too bold to assert that the
very core of his influence is de-
pendent on these very traits
making for religiosity in his per-
Sonal makeup.
Moreover, it is about time to
realize that the rabbits main eff
forts are not limited to the min
istration of the adults. In fact,
the hope Of Israel lies in the in
culcation Of the knowledge and
sublimity of our faith in the
hearts Of our young. Their soul

make them appreciative, during

of the grandeur and nobility Of
Judaism's teachings. Then we
shall not be building the struc-
ture of our faith on shifting
sand, but with the security that
our future will be safe in their
keeping. To bring this about, we
must demand of the rabbi to be
conversant with the principles
of religious pedagogy, knowing
how to bring to our young the
nuggets Of gold out of the rich

itage. For Judaism will not be
saved by sermons, however elo-
quently delivered and learnedly
composed, but by imbuing our
young with feeling and fervor
for things Jewish, and with en-
thuSiaSm to grow up with the
knowledge Of God. The minister
Of today must therefore be the
teacher in the true sense of the
word, or our hope is lost. The
adults are, and, let us hope, will
remain Jews. But the rising gen.

one maintain that anyone could
instruct children. Pedagogy has
of late been justly raised to the
dignity of a science, with its
theoretical and practical aspects,
to be mastered by him who
would teach efficiently. So the
critical question put to the rabbi
should not be: "Are you an ora

fine flow of words to entertain
the laymen on special occasions
and the empty pews generally.
Of the other essential require
ments of the spiritual guide they
are either blissfully ignorant, or,
if they are aware of them, they
underestimate them beyond
compare.
Now, there is no need minimiz-
ing the fact that a good delivery
is a great desideratum of the
rabbi. He who would attempt to
interpret the teachings of the
synagog must possess the art of
plain and forceful speech. Now
adays that religious observances
are reduced to the minimum
and adherence to the faith is
largely determined by attend
ance at divine services, the rabbi
should be required to be at least
the pleasing speaker. More
over, even worship in the syna-
cog of today centers around the
sermon as a climax, and unless
it is well delivered the entire SER
vice fails of its purpose. In this
non-religious age when the pow
err of the synagog to draw wor.
shippers is none too strong, the
task Of the pulpit is not only to
interpret but also to attract. Its
message must therefore be ac-
ceptably presented. Consequent
ly, it is but logical to lay consid-
cradle stress on that require
ment of the rabbi.
Nevertheless, the over-stress-
ing Of eloquence is a betrayal Of
shallowness of outlook and the
over-emphasis of one essential at
the expense of many others.
some of them by far more i'm
portant than oratory itself. It
indicates, in the first place, that
We take hold of one external
qualification because we may
readily grasp it, having, as it
were, the lurid light center upon
it. Secondly, it betokens a lack
of proportion by singing out an
essential and ignoring or minim-
izing several others no less i'm
portant simply because they are
not on the surface, though be-
cause of that very fact, their in
fluence on the rabbits ministra-
ton may be more subtle and far
reaching.
But should oratory be the open
sesame of the religious leader?
Shall we view him as no better
than a trumpet, vociferating
from the pulpit to the delecta-
ton of the bamboozled laymen?
Have they so sunk in abysmal ig.
norance as to forget the age-old
