SPIRIT OF PATRIOTISM MAKES MENACE LESS POTENT DAILY
By Harold E. BechtoI

European Manager Of N. F. Al
 VIENNA. Dec. 31.-Bolshevism is or the down grade in Europe.
 IL is hard pressed in Russia. but not only that IL is less of a terror to the rest of Europe than at any time since the armistice year ago.
 That is the outstanding fact appar- ent after a trip of many weeks through Europe from the bolshevist front to the Atlantic.
 The Red agitator is still a menace but he is growing less potent daily; the worst and most dangerous year the year immediately following the war-has passed.
 European Nations Breathing Easier
 Poland, Czecho- -Slovakia, Germany Austria, Switzerland. Belgium. France and England are breathing more easily every day.
 Strikes continue. So do demands for nationaliZa ton and larger share for workers in the management and re- wards of industry. But European work CTS generally are sticking more and more closely to the questions in dispute and giving less attention to the eX- hortations of the Red agents.
 Governments of Europe (speaking largely and not of personalities) are more firmly seated than al any time since the fighting ceased.
 Nationalistic feeling is at white hea [ in most of Europe
 Even in Germany there is q growing patriotic spirit reminiscent of the old Deutschland Uber Allies" days. And back in France and England the in- evitable drift apart has been recog- nized by officials and the press for months. The Echo de Paris. for ex-

CAL MESSNER CO. S5OO,000 BUSINESS CLU LUb
1919 Year Was Biggest In History For Local Auto Firm = Million Dollar Goal Set For 1920 Growth Has Been Steady Month By Month

More than doubling the volume of business transacted in any previous year, the Cal Messner Motor com pany has entered that somewhat ex- elusive business circle known as the half million dollar club" and has Maricopa countys leading and most progressive automobile firms. The Messner company e distributor for the Hudson Super Six and Essex passen- ger cars and the G. M. C. truck.
 A gross business of more than $500,- 900 was transacted by Messner and his corps of assistants during the past year. While the firms growth was remarkable as compared with the preceding year. there was nothing to indicate. Mir. Messner stated, that it was a flash in the pan."
 Starting with January, 1919. a steady, rapid growth was noted each month of the year, thus indicating a prosperous condition of the commun- ity. It was not fluctuating growth. it was pointed out, but a steady month to-month increase.
 December, the last month of the year and ordinarily one of the dullest in automobile circles. proved the big gest O. the entire 12 for the Messner agency. The volume of business trans acted in that month, it was stated. ex- ttcdCd tiS O,UuV-SuTtIN lllllIS climax to most successful year.
 With assurance of prompt deliveries from the factory during the 1920 year, the Messner company has set S1.O00, = 900 as its goal for the next 12 months. And we expect to make it, too,' said MT. Messner yesterday.
 Our truck department has shown the largest increase during the past year, indicating the industrial and agricultural development of the state" said Messner yesterday.
 The demand for G. M. C. trucks has exceeded the supply during the past year, but we have made arrange ments to increase our quota for the next F months to fully supply our needs.
 We have on file at this time de- posits for s5o,000 worth of G. M. c. trucks for delivery this month. We are expecting several carloads Of trucks in within the next three or four days, after which we hope to be in a position to make prompt deliveries of these trucks.

AUTOS INSTRUMENTAL IN INCREASING LAND
 VALUES, SAYS BROWN

Automobiles are notable for in creasing the value Of land" says Bert O. Brown, local dealer in Chevrolet passenger and commercial cars. They have done this by making all land more accessible-more profita ble. They have eliminated distances and brought city and country closer. Suburban property is in far greater demand than before the days of auto mobile transportation. Formerly. the advantages of life outside the cities were limited to the efficiency of rail- way connections. Now the automobile owner is independent of every other conveyance. The inconvenience of fam fly shopping and getting about gen. erally, no longer exists-in any season.
 The early use of automobiles dcm- onstrated the inadequacy of our roads system. In the few years that motor cars have been recognized utilities, good roads have spread in all direc tions. They now form one of the most valuable assets of the nation. Toge- ther with the automobile they link all parts of the country.
 Tn the farming areas the effect of automobile is particularly notable. They have made farm life more attrac tive, and farm property more profit able. Passenger cars and trucks shorten the farmers day. Their al around utility on the farm itself saves lIIle ana idDOF anu TtSuflS III !lCISdStQ production and more profits.
 Tt no longer makes a difference to the farmer whether a railroad Is near his property or not. His route to market is no longer dependent on steel rails. nor the limited capacity of ais teams. The automobile makes every town. within a radius of twenty miles or more. both a convenient market and source of supply.
 As farms have become more con venient, more productive and more

DEALER |S FIRM BELIEVER IN
 'ADS'

What is advertising? What is its fundamental, its objective? Does it pay?
 These questions were answered yes terday by well known Phoenix auto mobile dealer-a progressive, energetic merchant who believes in newspaper advertising and who has been con- vinced that advertising in the Arizona Republican is as safe an investment as real estate or stocks and bonds. This particular dealer-his name is withheld advisedly-recently inaugu- rated an advertising campaign. X series of blind advertisements were published. He was attempting to ere ate an interest in a certain new prod uct for which he has taken the Ari- zona agency. This product is the FL car, a moderate priced machine of na- tion- wide reputation.
 These advertisements, stated briefly that an Arizona distributor for the FL car would soon be named. They eX- plotted the car in the usual method but withheld the name of the distributor.
 But one paramount issue was ex- pounded-the name of the car. It was exploited for an object-to create a desire.
 If this campaign was successful therefore. it must arouse some desire on the part of the automobile public and prospective dealers.
 IL aCCOInpllSned that m Sucu st COIL vincing manner that the advertiser was astounded at the results. He could hardly believe his eyes
 Incidentally. The Republican was swamped with inquiries. Readers had no lead through the advertisement, to learn the identity of the state distribu- tor. So inquiries were made through the advertising department of The Re- publican. And there were scores of such inquiries.
 Yes, this particular dealer is firmly convinced in the effectiveness of Re publican advertising.

swamped with applications for patents designed to speedily bring a victorious end to the war. Cranks vied with those of real inventive genius in the number of applications.
 The government kept a strict watch over all ideas that came in and any that appeared valuable were guarded with the utmost secrecy and patents were not issued until the end of tho war for fear that the enemy might gain possession upon publication of the patent.
 Now Yankee ingenuity has turned from win -the-War devices to the no~ mai industrial lines.
 The landlord howls about taxes to draw attention from the fact that he takes it out of the tenants.

Washington, D. C. An increase of at least 50 per cent above normal in the work of the United States patent office has taken place since the armistice was signed.
 The number of applications for pat ents and trade marks, patent officials say. is an indication of the quickening experienced in the industrial world since the end of the war. Manufac- turers are on the alert for devices for increasing production and cutting down of labor costs.

LONG MAY HE LIVE.

The report of the death of Baron
Rothschild of Paris was false, and the
Zionist Publicity Bureau that started it
is coming in for deal of criticism by
our exchanges.
Well, we are glad that the Baron is
living. Long may he continue to live
We are not at all sorry that we wrote
a eulogistic editorial on him. At least
he knows now how we'll we think of
him. Is it possible that some friend
of the Baron started the rumor just to
find out what the worlds scribes would
say about him? If so, the affair was
complete success. Imber the author of
the Hattikwa, once played similar trick
on New York Jewish paper, sending it
his own obituary notice A week later
Imber appeared in the sanctum, and
demonstrated with the editor about some
of the statements that appeared in the
editorial eulogy We. too, shall be very
glad to hear from the Baron, at least
from Moses Barron.

EDl TORI AL
ANTI-RELIGIoUs REACTION.

1t is a wel1-known fact that those who
in their childhood and youth were sub
jected to a rigorous orthodox religious
training, whether Jewish or Christian,
who were compelled by parental author
ity to observe and carry out all the mi
nutiae of an orthodox religious life and
discipline, at home, at school and in
the church, often rebound to the other
extreme of righteousness when reaching
the age of maturity, of freedom from
parental restraint, and of independent
thinking. Some of the best known scep-
tics and unbelievers, men who have made
considerable noise in the world as
spokesman of free thought and advo
Gates of agnosticism and atheism, have
come from homes where religious
thought and practice were of the most
unyieldingly austere character. 1t is
hardly necessary to adduce examples.
Names of Jews and Christians of that
type will occur to any one who is at all
familiar with the history of our times.
The phenomenon is in full accord with
the natural law of reaction. The reaction
from Czaristic despotism is Bolshevism,
and from rigid neutrality-suspicious.
In indignation at former excessive re-
straint one throws off all restraint; and
in revolt against former superstititous
and meaningless traditional practices one
rids oneself of all religious thought and
stiles every religious sentiment.
And yet, true wisdom lies between
these two extremes, and is found in an
enlightened and liberal faith. The really
thoughtful man can no more strike God
out of this world than he can strike his
soul out of his own life. And on the
solid foundation of God and the soul
religion rears its super-structure of doc
trine and practice. But this super-struc-

mean, or anti-social; altogether vicious
and disturbing element in the modern
world. That there are all kindsaof Jews IN
the world, and even in this country, yea,
even in single city, just as there. are
all kinds of college professors, not all,
by any means, as stupid as some, never
occurred to our anthropologist. He for
got that the Jews are not a tribe of Phil
ippine Islanders living in primitive, saw
age isolation, which can, therefore, be
classified and labeled. 1t so happened
that at that lecture some Jewish women
were present. They were naturally in
dignant to hear their people so maligned.
They made complaint, and the professor
was obliged to make some explanation,
altho we don't remember what it was.
At any rate, we expected that that Incl
dent would open the professors eyes to
the folly of it ALL that he would try to
inform himself a little better, or to learn
to think more clearly on the matter.
But it seems that some professors,
like good old Bourbons, learn nothing
and forget nothing. It has been reported
to us by trustworthy witness that the
He is conducting classes on American
ization, preparing university students for
the work When discussing the Jews he
repeats the same old falsehoods and
SANDERS about them. Among other
things he impresses upon his auditors
minds that the Jews cannot and will not
be Americanized, that they prefer to
remain Jews above everything else. We
wonder what the professor understands
by Americanization, anyway? Has he
any clear idea of what it really means?
If he has not, what right has he to teach
others? Does he mean by American
izing the Jew making Christian of
him Or does he mean to imply that the
Jew cannot and will not be a good citi-
zen?
The professors attitude toward the
Jew is the result either of ignorance or
malice. In either case he is ill-ftted for
the work he has undertaken, namely to
train others for the work of American
izing the foreigner. Assuming that his
students really accept his ignorant gen.
ordinations and are influenced by them,
how will that qualify them for dealing
with the Jewish element that needs to
be Americanized? We think that the
Jewish students and instructors at the
university can render the cause of true
education service by challenging the
professor to an open debate and discus
sion of the matter. There ought to be
some means of effectual1y convincing
him of the error of his way Even a
professor may learn and mend.

A PROFESSOR WHO is ALSO

livered a course of lectures before a Min
neapolis Women's Club on the different
racial and ethnic groups that make up
our American population When the
Jews turn came to be discussed, he de-
livered himself of all the old-time stupid
generalizations about the Jew which
have done service among anti-Semites
from time immem The Jew is this,
and the Jew is that, and the Jew is some
thing else-always something queer, or

A MYTH EXPLODED.

Nothing was so common during the
war as the recital by interested parties
of the hunger of the boys in khaki for
religious edifcation We were told that
the boys simply focked to the religious
services conducted by priest, parson or
rabbi, or any lay welfare worker; that
they could not get enough of the relig
ious pabu1um provided for them.
And now comes Rabbi E. L. Israel,
who was one of the chaplains with the
American Expeditionary Forces, and in
an article on "The Alleged Religious Spir-
it of the A. E. F." which he contributes
to the Hebrew Union College Monthly
for January, explodes the cherished
myth. He could find none of the alleged
religious enthusiasm among the boys;
extensive and varied as that of other
chaplains. Religious. services were no
better attended in camp and field than
they are in our cities. If at times boys
appeared in larger numbers, they came
to see the motion pictures that fol-
lowed the services. When the motion
pictures for some reason failed to ap
pear, the boys were not slow in mani
Testing their disapproval by hooting the
Reverend gentleman in charge.
The only religious expression on the
part Of the boys that he could see was
their fervent praying when facing dan
ger and all the terrors of real war in
the trenches, or while going over the
top. 1t was "a vague wild prayer for
protection against the terror of the mo-
ment." ut is the savage wall to his
personal deity against the genii, the
demons, the evil spirits who threaten his
life" Once, however, in safety and Sc
curity and away from the demons of
bullet, shell and shrapnel, bayonet and
deadly gas, the boys relapsed into their
state of unredeemed righteousness.
We could never see how life in can
torment and camp could stir any re-
1igious sentiments and emotions, or what
there was in military life and discipline
with all the attendant experiences that
could be conducive to religious state
of mind. The very thought of slaughter
and destruction, and the training and
preparation for it, the deadening of the
soul by the rigor and the monotony of
military discipline and routine, the quest
of excitement as a counter irritant dur
ing hours of leisure,-all this initiates
against the true religious spirit. We are
in the midst of a wave of righteousness
now as consequence of the war. Well
did our sages of old say that iron, used
for butchery and destruction, should not
come into contact with the altar of the
Lord. Nor, according to the Biblical
moralist, could David, the man of war
and blood, build the Lords sanctuary.
