Is The Je1p Radical?
He Has a Natural Sympathy Win Socialism,
None With Bolsheoism, 1t Is Argued

such wealth is inevitably a source OF
corruption to the public life Of the
community. Socialism further main
tains that the introduction of a social
or cooperative system would eliminate
wasteful production, would increase ef-
ficiency by reducing the working hours
would increase general comfort and
contentment and do away with de.
structive strife by an equitable dis.
tribution of the produced wealth on the
basis Of justice and in true proportion
to the services rendered.
As i's the Prophet
1t should be noted that socialism is
essentially a peaceful, evolutionary
movement. 1t not only cannot hope Of
accomplishing its end by Violent means,
but it must necessarily look upon vic.
lence in any form rs upon its deadly
enemy. 1t bases its very hope fox
human salvation in its belief in the
gradual transformation Of the human
being from a state of brutality, where
brutal force compels his actions and
checks his passions, into higher state
where he will be governed and con-
trolled by reason, and by reason only
that state when, in Isaiah's noble
vision, men shall beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears into
pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up
sword against nation"
Now, it is not at all strange that
Jews should take great part in this
movement. Social justice and the
spiritualization of human life inevita-
bly, following it were the noble dreams
of the Hebrew prophets, and in en-
deavoring to make those dreams q
reality the Jew is merely responding
to an impulse that is the very life
blood of the Jewish race. Jews need
not be ashamed Of, and need not apol-
oGize for, their activities in that direc-
tion; and no matter what the oppo-
nents of socialism may now think OF
say, a time is coming when humanity
will gratefully acknowledge the serv-
ices rendered by the Jew in this great
struggle for human emancipation.
Bvuealities of BoEshevisns
Now, what is Bolshevism? Theo-
retically it seeks to reach the same
goal as does socialism, namely, the ma
tionalization of all public utilities and
the socialization of industry; but the
methods it proposes and uses are such
as to place it in sharp and irrcconcila-
BILE opposition to socialism. 1t makes
brutal force its closest ally, it is cruel
and revengeful, does not tolerate op-
position and violently suppresscs all
freedom of speech and press.
Are the Jews Bolshevists? Empha-
tically-no! There are no more nat
ural enemies than Judaism and Boil
shcvism. The first breaches love and
kindness, the latter hate and brutal
ity; the one counsels forgiveness, the
other revenge; the one has brought
mankind nearer to God, the other ia
boastIngy Goddess. The Jewish Boil
shevik leaders in Russia have openly
renowned their people and their God.
From personal experience I know the
Holshevistically inclined Jews to hold
in contempt all that is sacred to every
Jew, whether it be of religious or Of
national character.

The Women of Maine

The Women of Maine
The vote of the women of Maine is
q welcome and hopeful landmark in
American politics. 1t ends for all
time a host Of cheap and false as
sumptions, and it gives sturdy prom
ise of that slow but appreciable
leavening Of public obligations which
those who had faith in suffrage have
hoped for.
That women are idealistic to the
point Of ignoring practicalities has
been fundamental of the Wilson,
| Cox campaign. The sort of mush
! about the league which M. Cox has
talked glib.y and The New York
| World has written interminably was
not counted upon to prevail with the
male intellect, but there were frank
hopes that the woman voter would
fall for it. So the Maine campaign
was centered upon this issue. Dem
ccratic eloquence, from Franklin
Roosevelt down, was directed to this
one end.
The result explodes this fatuous
expectation beyond possibility of re-
construction. Women in Maine are
doubtless for peace and international
organization in behalf of peace quite
as much as those elsewhere. But
they had no difficulty in distinguish
ing between the egoistic pretense of
the Wilson-Cox campaign in behalf
Of my-league-or-no-league ard the re-
alities of the Harding effort, slow
and cautious, but sincere, toward the
creation of a complete and durable
organization of the forces of peace.
We do not suppose the Maine re-
suit will end the Cox campaign Of
misrepresentation to convince the
women of America that the only pos
sible league is the Wilson league,
unamended. But it should afford a
solid cud for politicians to chew on
in planning future appeals to the
women of the country. "Cut out the
mush and talk sense-~-hard, practical
sense" might not be a bad sum-
mary of the moral to date. 1t is the
French contention that woman is the
practical sex, man the sentimental,
and there is much truth in it..
Women are idealistic, but their life
has trained them to q contact with
hard, specific facts, and ideals, to ap-
peal to them, must square with re-
atty.
One other inference may be drawn
from the vote of the women of
Maine. The local Democratic cam
| paign closely paralleled the Cox
method in the national campaign, in
that stress on the league issue was
reinforced by an unscrupulous at
tempt to blacken the character of
the Republican candidate FOR Gov
ernor-an effort very closely resem-
bling the Cox effort to besmircl1 the
Republican leaders in his fund
charges. The Maine women plainly
resented this descent to unsavory
ward politics. There are abundant
signs that similar reaction is meet
ing the cries of conspiracy and bal
lot purchasing by Governor Cox.
Here again the practical judgment
OF women may be counted upon to
tell. They are likely to judge cam
sdidate and party not only by the
!ceals they profess but by the ac.
tions they perform. Mr.. Cox may
be the friend Of peace and great
ideals, but he acts uncommonly like a
cheap ward politician. We suspect
he will get just about as far with the
women voters Of the country on his
lofty league issue, plus cheap poll
tics, as the Democrats Of Maine did
by similar combination of high talk
and low actions.

A CAMPAIGN FABRICATION.

1t is being ndustriousy circulated in some districts
and communities of the county that R. B. Moore, our
County Tax Assessor had the law enacted taking dogs
$1.O0 each per year. Anyone who knows straight up
would know this to be false His duties are that OF
assessing taxes and not that Of legislator
He should have liked very much to have avoided the
tcdousness Of assessing dogs dhe collecting Of the
tax Had he been consulted before the passage Of the
law which is general throughout the state, in view Of
tie increased work it entails with the modicum OF pay
personally he would have opposed it. Being sworn
officer and living up to his oath he has executed that
law He would not be worthy Of the confidence Of his
constituents had he fsed But those who are trying to-
prejudice voters against Mr. Moore on the dog law had
better search for truthful statements If they can ind
them and if they can't, refrain from classifying on
man that has been conscientious in the discharge OF
his duties as has Mr.. Moore.

German Rail
Service Better

BERLIN, July 40. tBy Mail -
Germany's railroad system possesses
more locomotives now than before
the war. It is reliably estimated that
there are on the Prussian- Hessian
lines few more than $4,000 engines,
as compared to about 2I,600 before
the war--on then larger territory.
However, in the pre-war days there
were fully 1850 serviceable engines
while today the total runs less than
$4,000.
These figures are interesting in con-
sidering the whole industrial situa-
tion Of Germany, for despite the ham
dicaps imposed by war upon rolling
stock In general, and despite the
drawbacks Of labor difficulties, short
age of material and coal since the
war, Germanys railroad system is
now beginning To show a marked inn
provement over its condition in 1919.
May and June official figures bid
fair to bear out officials hopes more
strongly than the past year would, in
advance, have appeared to warrant,
Government shops and private fac
tories are bending every effort to get
ting the German rolling stock back
into repair. And while they have not
vet reached pre-war production, they
are now grinding out tired, rundown
engines at rate estimated at about
double that Of year ago.
As a writer Of the Berliner Tage.
blatt summarized the situation, zone
can notice that conditions are vastly
improved, for the trains now run on
time This is mainly true, whereas
during the last winter the traveller
never expected schedules to be main
tanned. Also, it is noticeable that a
considerable extension Of travel f.
cilities has been undertaken with COM
inc Of summer. Better connections
exist between Berlin and Paris from
June /, while local traffic IA losing
many restrictions under which it suf-
fered until the last three or four
months.

Crop Conditions
In Tennessee

NASHVILLE, June 30.-Follow-
ing is a summary of weather and
crop conditions in Tennessee for the
week ending June 20: A week Of
generally fair weather and moderate
temperature was favorable for field
work. Good progress was made ir
cultivating cotton and corn and in
harvesting hay, wheat and oats; also
in planting peas and beans for hay.
The temperature was rather low for
cotton the first few days, but was
aEo,ut normal the last three days. Cot
ton shows decided improvement, and
it's condition is now fairly good, ex-
cept it is two or three weeks late.
Squares are forming pretty generally
and some blooms are reported. Corn
made good progress. This crop is
also mostly late, but otherwise in
good condition. Wheat was nearly
all cut by the end of the week, un-
der favorable conditions. The total
crop is small and the results quite
varied in different localities, ranging
from very poor to good. The harvest
of spring oats was nearly finished,
with good yields reported. Irish po-
tatoes, tobacco and sweet potatoes
and minor crops generally did well,
but are beiinning TO need rain. The
weather conditions were fx.orable for
