TRIAL MARRIAGES.

The publicity that has attach
ed to the theories of welded life
practiced by Fanny Hurst and
her husband has given renewed
emphasis to the question of trial
marriages. The fact that Fanny
Hurst and her husband are by
birth Jewish is of considerable
significance. The prevailing mod
ern conception of marriage is q
Jewish contribution to civliiza-
ton. The unity Of the family de-
pendent upon the perfect harmon
ious cooperation of husband and
wife devoting themselves to each
other and forsaking all else in
their loyalty to the family is uni
versally recognized as the corner
stone of society. The married
life of Fanny Hurst and her hus-
band, if correctly reported in the
press, elevates personal indie
pendence above all other consid-
erations, and makes husband and
wife partners in a compact which
leaves each free to seek individ-
ual happiness, rather than the
happiness of mate. What kind
of home life can be cultivated
where the husband eats break
fast with his wife only twice a
week, where each is at liberty to
make friends regardless of the
predictions of the other;
where no mutality exists be-
tween husband and wife, except
loose bond of friendship more
intimate though it be than that
which is known as Platonic? It
would be ridiculous to regard the
trial marriage of Fanny Hurst
as a knitting together of two
souls in real wedlock. Their
agreement may be conducive to
freer development of their pro-
fessional careers, although this,
too, is extremely doubtful, but
theirs is no real marriage, and
their home is no real home. The
Jewish conception that woman Is
the helpmate of man and that
the twain should be as one in

MAKE HIM PROVE 1T.

We picked the following up in
the Telegram" of Portland, Ore
gon. We are republishing it be-
cause we want our readers to
know what false and scurrilous
libels are being circulated
against Jews of the world. We
are particularly alarmed at stuff
of this sort, because the article
is a New York Times and Chi
cago Tribune" production. These
two dailies are among the most
important in America, and their
readers number into the millions.
We do not know whether or not
they were printed in those dali
ies-we hope not. 1t is inconceiv-
able that Adolph Ochs, of the
New York Times would permit
dangerous drivel of this sort to
go into his paper. He is a Jew of
the finest type-proud of his
people, its achievements and its
possibilities. He is a son-in-law
of the late DR.. Isaac M. Wise, the
foremost of the earlier
American Reform Rabbis, and
the founder of the Central Con-
ference of American Rabbis, the
Hebrew Union College, and the
Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations. If we are not in error
he is an officer of the Union
and so we feel that if the article
crept into the "Times," it was
unknown to Mr.. Ochs. We do not
know who John Clayton is-but
he is the most gullible, the most
credulous and the most unfit
correspondent of which we know
anything about! His ignorance is
INTENTIONALLY stupenduous-and
we can only marvel at the indes-
cribable stupidity of those who
permit groundless vituperation
like this to mar the pages of
their newspapers. Read the
senseless, anti-Semitic libel and
judge for yourselves-you epec-
tally leaders who do not think
that some one is Systematically
planning a campaign of anti-Se-
mite destructiveness:
RADICAL JEWS CREDITED WITH
DEVnI IN OF ANC
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-07-02

We challenge Clayton and his
newspapers to prove that Jewish
radicals are attempting to dis
lodge the supremacy Of the An
glo-Saxon race. The Jews of Am
erica ought to ask Washington
to disclose to any group of Amer
lean Jewish leaders who these
"Jews" are. If Clayton knew any
thing about the attitude of Jews
he would know that the Jews
of the world have long ago dis
owned the Goldmans, the Berk-
mans, the Trotskys and their CO.
workers. If Clayton were hon
est with himself, he would admit
that Trotsky long ago disowned
the people from whose loins he
sprang. Does Clayton, who now
seems to be in Paris, really be-
lieve that the French Roth
schilds, Louie Klatz, the eight
French Jewish generals who dis
tinguished themselves in the late
war; does Clayton really believe
that the English Rothschilds,-
number of whose members per-
ished in the late war-the Sam
uels the Montefiores, Lord Read
ing, and many others, are gov
erned by Goldman, Berkman and
Trotsky? Does this fellow really
believe that men like Jacob
Schiff, Louis Marshall, julius
Rosenwald, Judge Louis Bran
deis, Judge Julian Mack, and the
unaccounted hundreds of thous-
ands of loyal American Jews, are
parties to any idea that an out
cast like Trotsky may evolve?
This man is either an indescrib-
able ignoramous or else he has
been taken in by a party of ly-
ing, unprincipled, anti-Jewish
agitators.
The idea of making Jews even
worse than Bolshevists is itself
so scurrilous that it is unbeliev-
able. But to attempt to arouse
the enmity of England and Am
erica against the Jews, by alleg-
ing that the Jews want to estab-
lish a Jewish world-dominion,
and this at the expense of the
Anglo-Saxon race-and then to
establish the headquarters of all
of this alleged infamy in Berlin,
is a plan and a scheme that is
worthy of the most hellish of in
human schemers-and of these
Clayton has made himself one.
He ought to be made to prove his
assertions; he ought to be made
to produce his authorities; he
ought to be made ia reveal his
sources of information-and if
he cannot-and we vouch that
he can not-he ought to be put
where all slanderers are nut

DOlSHeVlSW dlIlS lOT IHe OVtTCuTOW
Of existing society and the establish
ment of an international brotherhood
Of men who work with their hands as
rulers of the world. The second move
Eent aims for the establishment of a
new racial domination of the world. So
far as the British, French and our own
departments inquiry have been able
to trace, the moving spirits in the Sec
ond scheme are Jewish radicals.
Brains in Berlin.
Within the ranks of Communism is
a group of this party, but it does not
stop there. To it's leaders communism
is only an incident. They are ready to
use the Islamic revolt, hatred by the
central empires for England, Japan's
designs on India, and commercial riv-
airy between America and Japan.
As any movement Of world revolu-
ton must be, this is primarily anti
Anglo-Saxon. 1t sees its greatest task
in the destruction of the British en-
pire and the growing commercial pow
er of America. The brains Of this or
ganization are in Berlin.
Trotsky at Head.
The directing spirit which issues
the orders to all minor chiefs and finds
money for the work Of preparing the
revolt is in the German capital. It's ex-
ecutive head is none other than Trot-
sky, for it is on the far frontiers OF
India, Afghanistan and Persia that
the first test of strength will come.
The organization expert Of the present
Russian state is recognized even
among the members of his own politi-
cal party as a man of boundless ambi-
ton, and his dream of an empire OF
tho East is like that Of Napoleon.
The organization Of the World Jew
isb radical movement has been per-
fected in almost every land. In the
states of England, France, Germany,
Poland and Russia and the East it has
its groups. 1t is behind the lslamic
revolt with all the propaganda skill
and financial aid at its command be-
cause it hopes to control the shaping
of the new Eastern empire to its own
ends. Sympathy with the Eastern ma
tionals probably is one Of the chief
causes for the victory Of the pro-na-
tionals in the Bolshevik party, which
threw communionism solidly behind
the nationalist aspirations Of Eng
lands colonies.
Aims Commercial.
The aims Of the Jewish-radical par
ty have nothing of altruism behind
them beyond liberation Of their own
race. Except for this, their aims are
purely commercial. They want actual
control of the rich trade routes and
production centers of the East, those
foundations Of the British empire
which always have been the corner
stone of its national supremacy.
They are striking for the same ends
as Germany when she entered the war
of 1914 to establish Mittel Europa
and so give the Germans control Of the
Bagdad railway. They believe Europe
is too weak to put down concerted
rebellion in the Eastern possessions.
Therein lies the hope Of success. They
are stalking brains and money against
an empire.

CHURCH is WRECKED
DIJRING SERVICE

ROME, Italy, Sept. 9-New shocks
but none of them of the intensity of
the one which caused the widespread
destruction early on Tuesday, have
been felt in Florence and in the
neighborhood of that city. These
have shaken down tottering struc-
lures however, and still further de-
layed the work of rescuers.
The upheaval Tuesday was espec-
tally terrific in the famous quarry
district of Carrara from which come
the finest specimens of marbles.
Great rocks dislodged by the shock
rolled own roads leading up into the
hills crushing everything in their
path.
A tragic and memorable scene was
enacted at Marina near Carrara
when the earthquake shattered a
church where mass was being cele-
brated. The priest had just raised
the chalice in the most solemn NOM
ent of the service when the ceiling of,
the church fell on the congregation
killing many.
The priest was thrown to the altar
floor by thesfragments from the cell
ing, but he reverently finished the
service before attending the injured.
