EDl TOR IAL
A SUCCESSFUL ENTER
PRISE.

Earnest endeavor intel1igently
directed brings it's reward. This
has been demonstrated again by
the success, both artistic and
financial, of the theatrical per-
Torrance given last Sunday by
the Frolickers under the auspices
of the Minneapolis Temple Sis
terhood. The arduous labors of
the producer and his company
of players, and of the Sisterhood
Committee in charge of the en-
terprise, have been amply re-
warded by the enjoyment the
Minneapolis Jewish community
received from an entertainment
not inferior to any professional
stage productions of that type,
and by the financial returns to
the Sisterhood. The Sisterhood's
program of religious and educa-
tional work is such that it can
use the money to very good adj
vantage.

COMBATING THE OURS.

There are two ways in which
people ordinarily deal with an un-
pleasant situation: they either
minimize or magnify its gravity /;
they either ignore and neglect it,
or they become hysterical over it.
Both ways, of course, are wrong.
There is a golden mean.
The barking of the Dearborn

that it rs season of joyful cele-
bration to our Christian fellow
citizens, we most heartily wish
them a Merry Christmas and a
Happy New Year.

INDEPENDENT n1IcQ cur DIT the
Jewish people is a case in point.
It is certainly irritating and an
noying, just like the barking of
any vicious cur is. Moreover the
persistent barking of one cur
generally rouses others of the
canine tribe to similar perform
ance, so that there is soon yelp-
ing chorus at the wayfarer's
heels. The situation is not a
pleasant one, and the prospect
still less SO, if the cur is not
shown good-sized stick in time.
But there is no reason for be-
coming alarmed or hysterical.
After all this country is neither
Russia, nor Poland, nor Hun
gary. 1t is the United States of
America, the majority of whose
people, to say the least, having
themselves escaped from preju-
dice, persecution, and tyranny,
religious, social, or political, be-
lieve in justice and fair play, and
desire that America shall as
much as possible be free from
the curses of the Old World.
America will not allow an anti
Jewish movement to gain a foot
hold in this country, any more
than it allowed an anti-C Catholic
movement to gain much head
way here. Social prejudice
against the Jew may continue for
some time, just as nti-Catholic
prejudice still continues in GER
tain circles. But we need not
fear anything else.
We, therefore, cannot agree
with our confrere of The Jewish
Ledger in his suggestion that
meetings should be arranged in
every city and. town in the coun-
try for purposes of protest and
propaganda against the anti
Semitic scourge =. (. At these
meetings the leading non-Jews of
the respective local communities
should be asked to present the
attitude of the fair minded and in
telligent citizenship towards the
malicious and vicious propaganda
In our humble opinion this is
like asking a whole community
to organize posse to silence a
barking dog. 1t is true that
persistently yelping cur is a
nuisance. But big stick, vigor-
ously welded, is the best weapon.
And for that reason we still in
sist that idiotic Henry's hired cur,
and others like him that may at

THE PILGRIM FATHERS.

SIdlltuQC 10, ana reverence Oh, Tie
memory of those sturdy pioneers,
the Pilgrim Fathers, who laid the
foundation of American liberty.
In fact, we somehow feel a close
tie of spiritual kinship between
them and ourselves, in spite of
their having been Christians of
a most austere type.
The Pilgrim Fathers, like all
the Puritans and Dissenters of
England of three hundred years
ago, were men stepped in the
spirit of the Bible, and especially
the Old Testament. Their theo-
logical ideas they drew from the
New Testament, but, paradoxical
as that may sound, their religion
proper, that which furnished them
real guidance and inspiration in
life, their aims and ideals, their
virtues, their austerity, their
courage, and their fortitude they
derived from the Old Testament,
the religion of Israel. The heroes
of the Old Testament, its law
givers, judges, Kings, and pro-
phets were their models. Their
opposition to political and eccle-
siastical tyranny, their hostility
to the corruptions, shams and
hypocrisies of court and church,
were aroused, stimulated, and
encouraged in them by the exam
piles from the history of Israel.
Their ideal of government in
church and state was that Of a
theocratic democracy - perfect
freedom under divine law, the
divine law as given to Moses and
the prophets, and as interpreted
by each individuals conscience.
Their stiffnecked persistence in
the face of oppression, their
willingness to suffer exile and
other forms of martyrdom rather
than surrender their convictions,
is another feature that their life
and history had in common with
those of the Jewish people. And
the motive that prompted them to
seek these shores as haven of
refuge is the same that has actu-
ated and still actuates millions of
Jews to leave their old homes in
quest of freedom from oppres-
sion and of opportunity to live
their own life unhindered.
Such is the threefold bond of
sympathy, a bond of truly spirit
ual kinship, that unites us to
those men of faith and valor.
We honor their memories as we
honor those of our own heroes,
as we honor those of all times
