THE JEWISH COUNTER
ATTACK.

That was vigorous and DASH
ing counter attack that was
launched in the daily press by the
Jewish forces of this country
against the malicious Jew-baiting
hordes led by idiotic Ford and his
hired slanderer. The Jewish
forces as usual were marshalled
by Marshall and his Jewish Com
mittee.
The reply to the anti-Semitic
attacks, probably written by Mr..
Louis Marshall himself, which
appeared simultaneously in all
the leading papers of the coun-
try, was so clear, so straight
forward, so convincing, that any
honest, fairminded antagonist of
the Jews ought now to be silenced
forever. But as a matter of fact,
the enemies of the Jews here as
everywhere else are neither hon
est nor fairminded. How, then,
can one such reply, be it ever so
brilliant, ever so convincing, have
the desired effect?
One would have thought that

EDI TOR IAL
HANUKKAH.

Hanukkah is a minor festival
in the Jewish calendar. The lit
tie tapers lighted in it's honor are
almost symbolic of its insignih-
canoe compared with our five ma
jjor holy days. The explanation
that a pious, miracle-loving ira
idition gives Of the custom of
the tiny candles is also
lof small import. 1t commemo-
rates the finding of the miracu-
1lous cruise of oil, we are told.
! Yet looked at in the proper
perspective Hanukkah marks a
very important event in the life
of Israel, and not merely the
victory of Judas Maccabee over
the Syrian Greek. hosts and the
lrededication of the Temple. 1t
marks no less an event than the
beginning of the history of Jews
and Judaism such as the Dias-
lpora has shaped it. While the
period of the Maccabean struggle
was not the beginning of the dias-
'pora-that had actually begun
with the -Babylonian cap
tivities - it was the beginning
of that phase of it which char
acterized by the continuous
struggle between Judaism and an
til Judaism, in which struggle
Judaism has ever been materially
worsted, but spiritually uncon-.
quered and uncomfortable.
1t was in the Maccabean period
that Jewish culture, the creation

THE ANERIczN JEVfsR WoKLD

Presbyterian Church has set
aside a large sum of money for
the conversion of the Jews. We
can see nothing in it to arouse our
indignation. Let our Presby-
terrain friends do their best or
their worst, and good luck to
them, if only they do it honor
ably, and don't try to entice
young Jewish children to their
missions, as many other so-called
missionaries to the Jews often do.
We know exactly what the
whole cow version business
amounts to. On the average it
costs the churches over one
thousand dollars to capture one
Jew; and they are perfectly well
come to the kind of Jew they cap
ture, as rule, at the above-given
cost. Why should not some
shiftless Jewish character, who
in these somewhat abnormal
times, finds it hard to make an
easy living, take advantage of the
opportunity offered him to be-
come a Presbyterian and at the
same time missionary, or assist
ant missionary, or mission-hang-
er-on, to the other Jews? For
that is what practically every
Jewish convert soon develops in
to.
Now, when we consider how
many Jews, and especially Jew
esses, become Christianized, now
adays by the Christian Science
route, and pay their good money
to healers and churches and
Christian Science publishing
houses to boot, why not recog-
nize the greater altruism of the
Presbyterian and other churches
that, instead of taking Jewish
money, are actually ready to
spend their own good money for
Jewish apostasy?

Hellenic culture, equally con-
scious of its great merits. Both
were mutually exclusive, equally
intolerant of each other. To the
all-conquering spirit of Hellas it
was anomalous that the religion
and culture of small people in
southern Syria with its offshoots
in other parts of the Hellenic
world should refuse to surrender
to what it deemed superior cul-
ture, namely, its own, which all
other nations had found irresist-
IDLE. That accounts for the an
tagonism and hostility that broke
out not only in Palestine but
wherever Jews and Hellenes,- or
Hellenized peoples lived in close
contact-in Alexandria, in An
tioch and elsewhere. The strug-
gle in Palestine was soon brought
to an end by the valor of the
Maccabees and their patriotic fol-
lowers.
But when the war of the
swords was over, the war of the
pens began, and the pen is nigh
tier than the sword. It was then
that Hellenic scribblers and rhet-
orleans began those slanderous
attacks on Jews and Judaism
which are still echoed in the
barkings of Henry Ford's hired
cur. Apion is the present-day
beasts worthy ancestor.
The struggle continued when
Roman sway supplanted Greek
dominion. In all things cultural
the Romans were the heirs or
imitators of the He1lenes. Judeo-
phobia was a part of that .heri-
tage. And when the Church
arose on the ruins of the Roman
Empire it fell heir to it, too, in
creasing it's patrimony of Jew
hatred by the addition of it's own
cruc1flx1on story with all It's I'M
plications. And this antagonism
has continued to this day. Let
those who wish to understand
anti-Semitism, and to account for
it, look at it in this true historical
light. Hanukkah, therefore marks
the beginning of this age-1ong
struggle, as well as the beginning
of those processes of adaptation
and adjustment by which the
Jewish spirit fortified itself for
the struggle, so as to become un-
conquerable. Scribes and Phari-
sees, Bible and commentaries,
schools and synagogs, legalistic
fences and ritualistic bars they

UMPIRE GARNET
BUSH IS DEAD
For Ten Years a Well Known
Official in Minor
Leagues.

Garnet C. Bush. for ten years well
known as an umpire died at the home
of his mother In st. Louis on Dec, 30.
He had been in Ill health for a year or
more, but heart disease was the imme-
date cause of his death. Bush began
his career as an umpire in the Three-I
league in 1909 and later was in the
Southern Michigan, Texas, Western,
American association, Pacific Coast and
Federal leagues. In 1911 he had a trial
in the National league. He retired
from the game after 1917, his engage
ment that year being in the Western
league.
Bush was a capable umpire, but of
the fighting kind and inclined to a
quick temper, which often was a handi-
cap. Fans in the minors will recall
a number OF famous scraps In which
he took part. He was of a whole
hearted, likeable disposition, however,
and many friends will regret to hear
of his death. During part of the war
period he was employed in government
arsenals and munitions factories and
this work may have had something to
do with undermining his health. He is
survived by his mother and a brother,
Leo, in st, Louis. and a sister in Dav-
export, Ia. The funeral OF the dead
umpire was in st. Louis on Jan. 2.

sey for the Stacking coward, in time OF
need, he proved himself to be.
1t is good that the American Legion
posts are taking action and they only
represent a minority of the total ex-
| service men at present. The howl that
is going to go up against Dempsey and
all other slackers who attempt ia
amount to something more than real
Americans do will send them into OBJ
security and oblivion-wait and see-it's

Americanism, the 100 per cent kind, by
not allowing money grubbers, under the
name of sportsmen, to mulct the public

who fought his shadow for big pay
