sufficient revenue to meet the expenses

Many public service concerns in the
last few months have petitioned the
state corporation commission for au-

substantiate their claims that they

statements of their volume Of business

The law requires that "A copy of this

the basis for increased assessments.
The board has passed upon the cases
of most of the small telephone compan-
les and about one-half of the electric

advance of 80 to 40 per cent on last

A JEWISH DEFENDER OF THE
POLES.

In another column we reprint
from a Chicago Polish paper all
Open Letter to Mr. Nathan Strauss
by a DR.. Vorzimer who speaks of
himself as a "Pole of Jewish race
and denomination" and who is con-
nected with some Polish book i'm
porting business. We reprint the
letter as a journalistic curiosity, and
also because of the opportunity it
affords us of discussing the Polish
Jewish situation.
The letter is just the kind one
would expect from such source.
In the course of our history we have
suffered as much from Our own
faithless and traitorous sons as we
have from the outside foe. Jews
who have bartered away their own
faith and their own people for a
mess of pottage have been among
our worst slanderers. They are
known among us as assimilators,
converted or unconverted, who
would like to see the Jews disappear
as separate people, to whom the
persistent effort of the Jews to SUR

vive is thorn in the flesh. DR..
VOrzimer is one of that class, and
there are others like him in Poland.
The fact that he still calls himself
"of Jewish race and denomination,
which probably means that he is not
a Catholic or Protestant Christian,
does not matter. The Jewish ma
tional hope is a part of the Jews
traditional faith.
Now, consider how stupidity Our
Polish propaganda contradicts
himself. At first he denies the out
RACES altogether, calls the charges
made by Nathan Strauss "a rank dis
tortion of the truth, distortion
more malicious, more dangerous and
more liable to mislead than any
overt libel or SANDER could possibly
be-; then he blames the Jews for the
outrages. Well, which is it? If the
Jews are to blame, then there must
have been attacks, acts of violence
and massacres. And who but a DR..
Vorzimer and others of his ilk would
now attempt to deny them, to deny,
for example, the massacre of thirty
six innocent Jews of Pinsk by or
der of the Polish military COM
mander, or deny the massacres of
Lemberg or Wilma?
The question now is: What is
the grievance of the Poles that pro-
vokes them to such outrages? What
is the cause of enmitv between Jews
and Poles? Aside from the gratui-
tous ISLANDERS of which DR.. Vorzi-
mer, like all other anti-Semites of
all other countries, is guilty, all
survival of medieval Jew-hatred,
such as Jewish disloyalty, usury,
speculation, and exploitation Che
forgets to mention the slaughter of
Christian children for ritual purpos-
es, and the piercing of the consecrat-
ed host, for which Jews were tor
tured and burned in the Middle
Ages in Poland as we'll as in other
countries), there is one real source
of enmity and friction, and that is
the desire of the Jews to maintain
themselves as separate national
group, and to be given such rights
as are given to other national minor
tiles. Now what is wrong about it?
The Jews of Poland are a separate
nationality. They are not Poles any
more than the Poles are Jews. Have
the Poles any more right to destroy
Jewish nationality than the Rus=

ganized their communities, and
thruout Poland's independence, the.
Jews have been considered and
treated as a separate nationality,
have had complete cultural autono-
my, even their own courts of justice,
rights and privileges confirmed by
royal charters. Why should not an
other national minority live in the
same land the Poles inhabit, and be
equally loyal to the country and it's
government, in spite of it's cherish
ing it's own national culture at the
same time, which is all that the Jews
desire and ask for? Is not this the
ultimate solution of the entire Eu-
ropean problem, to acknowledge the
rights of every national minority, no
matter in what land its lot may be
cast?
1t is sheer nonsense to compare
Poland to America, where all of us,
Poles, Jews, Irish, English, Scandi-
navians and Germans, willingly
throw Our nationalitics into the COM
mon melting-pot to create new ma
tion-the American. In Poland the
historic fact is that two separate
nationa1ities have for over 800 years
lived side by side, each one being,
equally jealous in maintaining it's
national life, the stronger, of course,
always dominating the weaker Why
not now adjust their relations &C
cording to the most enlightened
humanitarian ideals and political
wisdom of the age? Do the Poles
seriously think they will solve the
problem better, and in a more en-
lightened humanitarian spirit, by de-
stroying the Jews? !
A word in conclusion with refer
ence to Dr. Vorzimer's question::
"Shou1d it really not be known to
you that Poland has received the
Jews and granted them protection
at a time when the rest of Europe
was reveling in an orgy of religious
persecution, and that the Jews have
Jared exceedingly we'll in Poland?"
This fiction would be very amusing
were it not so sad, since it conjures
up some. very bitter memories. In
spite of royal charters comforting
and confirming privileges, and spe-
cial favors on the part of some kings,
the Jews of Poland have thru the
greater part of their history Jared no
better and no worse than they have r.

JEWS AND CHRISTIAN SCI
ENCF
ENCE.

The conclusion of this subject in
wolves an answer to certain crlt1-
cisms of Christian Science and
Christian Scientists that have ap-
peared in the preceding series of
articles, and also the consideration
of the reasons why Jew becomes
a Christian Scientist, and his mo-
tives for doing so.
1t would seem, if we judge by ex-
ample, that the Jews answer
to the intolerance and persecution
of which he has SO bitterly COM
planned, is similar intolerance and
persecution on his part when OPP
portunity permits. Is it not posi-
bic that what the Jew suffers today
is due, partially at least, to the reac-
ton of his own attitude towards
those who differ from him. Ger
tainly it can not be claimed that
either Christian Science or Chris
tan Scientists have ever been re-
sponsible for causing any persecu-
ton of, or suffering by the Jews.
They, it may fairly be said, have
contributed more than any other
one factor in leavening religious in
tolerance through their insistence

former President VIM. Howard
Taft delivered an address on "a
League of Nations" at the Rock
dale Avenue Temple in the pres
ence of an audience that taxed the
capacity of the large auditorium.
He urged the necessity of the forma-
ton of such league, showed the
groundlessness of the opposition to
it on the part of Americans and
predicted it's formation and accept
ance by the world before peace is
established.
On Monday morning a paper on
Religious Education and the Flu
ture of American Judaism" was
read by Rabbi David Lefkowitz Of
Dayton, Ohio, in which he en-
phasized the need of a more
thorough course of religious train
ing for Our children and the en-
ployment of better equipped re-
ligious teachers for that purpose.
An unusual feature of the Con-
ference week in Cincinnati was the
large Zionist Mass meeting held on
Thursday evening and addressed
by three of the leading rabbis Of the
Conference, DR.. Stephen S. Wise,
DR.. Martin A. Meyer of San Francis
co, and DR.. Max Heller of New Or
leans, all three pointing out that
Zionism is now an accomplished
fact and that both Jews and the
world at large can be only the gain
ers by it.

selves and expended in the army
and navy, vast amounts for war re-
lief work; received special COM
mendations for splendid work
among the refugees and others in
the war stricken countries, and con-
tributed large amounts of knitted
and other garments for soldiers, sail
ors and others. Their Welfare
Workers and Chaplains were con-
spicuous examples of unselfsh and
loving devotion to the needs of our
men in military service, and every
where they carried the message of
loving cheer and comfort, protection
and healing. In their quiet, unos-
tentatious way, Christian Scientists
are doing philanthropic and
benevolent work, and in rational
way bearing their full share in al
leviating the suffering of, and up
lifting mankind. The Christian Sci
ence Monitor, a daily newspaper,
not only sets a standard for clean
Journalism, accurate news, and
sound education, but it's editorial
columns are the herald for those ad-
vanced economic, political and So
cial doctrines that are 1eavening hui
man thought and bringing mankind
into a common agreement.
Christian Science welcomes into
it's fold all classes and conditions
of people. If it makes any claims
with reference to number, quality
of intellect or standard of it's adj
herents, it is simply in answer to
the criticism that it appeals only
to the ignorant or the lower classes.
1t numbers in it's ranks not only
millions, but among them men and
women of the highest type of
thought, whether intellectual, philo-
sophical, religious, or otherwise. It's
adherents come from the ranks of
the business and professional men,
the philosopher, the preacher, the
artist, the actor-and through the
whole gamut of human activities.
1t appeals to the lowest and to the
highest, through the soundness and
logical correctness of its principle
and method.
Likewise, any statement to the
contrary notwithstanding, there are
multitudes of Jews who have en-
braced Christian Science because it
has brought to them not only COM
fort of body and peace of mind, but
y rao1iz,tio-, and ,,pdarctopdipo of

brotherhood of all mankind. If the
Christian Science teachings of the
one Mind were accepted by the
world, there would be no religious
intolerance or persecution. with
one Father, even God, the whole
family of man would be breth-
rem; and with one Mind and
that God, or good, the broth
erhood of man would consist
of Love and Truth, and have
unity of Principle and spiritual pow
er which constitute divine Science"
(Science and Health, with Key to
the Scriptures, by Mary Baker
Eddy, page 4oo.)
Certainly the arguments that have
been advanced in preceding articles,
many of them based wholly upon
imaginary hypothesis or facts man
ufactured to fit the argument, do
not breathe the spirit of federation
or kind1iness which one might ex-
pect as exemp1ifcation of the Gold
en- Rule.
The charge that Christian Sci
entists are self-centered and selfish
is SO unfounded as hardly to re-
quire contradiction. Christian Sci
ence requires of its adherents the
greatest degree of unselfshness and
serious thought for the welfare of
humanity, rather than of self 1t is
admitted that Christian Scientists
are noted for their kindness and
consideration for others. They are
not ostentatious in their work, nor
do they seek notoriety in their &C
tivities for the good of mankind.
Their efforts are devoted to "doing"
rather than "talking"; to proving
rather than theorizing They be-
lieve in world reformation by self
reformation and the persuasion of
mans neighbor by example rather
than words. They emphasize the
necessity for minding ones own
business and if they are not con-
spicuous by their alliance with gen
eral academic gatherings and dis
cussions, it is because they feel that
their time can be more pro6tab1y
employed in doing" the things that
others waste time in talking or
specializing about. Christian Sci
entists are working people, and
therefore have not the time to
waste in social pleasures and the
usual 1imelight activities productive
