ADOLF KRAUS-A GREAT
JEW AND A MANLY MAN
Adolf Kraus is to celebrate the
SEVENTEEN anniversary of his
birth, in a few days. To one who
does not take any interest in the
affairs of the Jewish world, this
means nothing. But to the mil
lions whose hearts are touched
by the currents of Jewish life,
this is joyful news. We think we
know whereof we speak, when
we say that not only is a senti-
ment of congratulation on the
lips of every Jew who reads this,
but there wells up in the heart
also, prayer that Mr.. Kraus
may be spared many, many years
to come.
1t is given to few men to
achieve a world leadership. 1t is
given to fewer men to hold this
leadership for as long as a quar-
ter of a century, and grow with
it, in the esteem and love of
those who are led. But this has
been given to Mr.. Kraus, and
now that he has reached the ira.
ditional three-score and ten, the
prayers of millions will ascend,
that he may continue to work
and achieve for IsraeTs good.

lished the Anti Defamation Lea
que which has been responsible
more than any other agency for
the elimination Of the so-called
Hebrew comedian from the stage
from the elimination of objec-
tionable characters from moving
pictures, and for the suppression
by the press of the country Of vi
cious determinations regarding
Jews in their news items. Only
those who have followed this
work up can realize what a boon
the League has been to Ameri-
can Jewry, and the fine hand Of
Adolf Kraus has directed the
destinies of that organization.
We here in America are not
blessed by an abundance of men
who are willing to neglect their
private business and devote
themselves to the interests of Is
rael. Nor are we here blessed
with a multiplicity of men who
having accumulated a fortune,
are willing to be content with it,
and then give themselves up to
public service. Perhaps we are
yet too young. Our hearts are
set on the material rather than
on the spiritual. 1t takes more
than one generation to develop a
spiritual ideal, and more than
one generation to develop men
who are so imbued with it, that
they are willing to make its real
ization their supreme task in life.
One would suppose that after
forty centuries of magnificent
tradition, we ought to experience
no difficulty along this line-but
this isn't the case. We suffer
from a shortage of men who are
willing to DO for their people
when their efforts involve a sac
rifice of their own interests. Not
so is Adolf Kraus. We know that
his work as president of the In
dependent Order B'nai Birth
HAS involved a sacrifice to him.
And he made this sacrifice glad
ly. We know that he has at all
times been ready to answer the
call of his brethren-for of him
let it be said that his ear is finely
attuned to the cries of his breth-
rem and his heart is deeply touch
ed by their woes-and to do
whatever he can, wherever he
can, and whenever he can, has
been the supreme mission which
Adolf Kraus accepted from Jew
ny, and the mission which he has
executed and which he il execut-

Birth has had a most interest

pardon us for recalling intimate
events in his life. We have work.
ed under him and have been
closely associated with him, and
from his mouth we have heard
the stories of his early strug-
giles and his romantic rise. We
have learned not only to admire
his great intellect and his merci-
full heart-but we have learned
to revere and love the man.
Kraus, like other immigrants
came here at a very early age.
Like many of the early corners,
he peddled for a living, but was
always alert to the opportunities
which this new and glorious land
afforded. But while he worked,
he studied, and within a few
years, the youthful peddler had
become a law-student, and later
a lawyer, the editor and then the
owner of the old Chicago Times.
He was corporation attorney for
the city of Chicago, and was held
in high esteem among his collea-
CUES of the National Newspaper
Publishers Association.
During these early struggles,
Kraus never forgot that he was
q Jew,-in the sense Of partici-
pating in Jewish activities. He
tells one story that is character
istic of early Judaism in this
country, and at the same time
Indicative of the financial stand

ing of Mr.. Kraus in those early
days. It was shortly after he had
arrived in America. He made
his way to Cleveland, and ped
died out of that city. Like most
of our coreligionists, he decided
to attend services on the High
Holidays, and came to the city
to go to "Shul." We have for.
gotten whether it was a "Shul"
or a Temple" AT any rate the
peddler came to attend services.
He entered the House of Wor-
ship but his progress was stop
ped. He asked what the trouble
was, and was informed tina.
since he was not a member of the
congregation, he would have to
pay five dollars for a seat. Mr..
Kraus was willing enough to pay
it, but he had no money, and so
informed the officer at the door.
The man was obdurate, and Mr..
Kraus went home so chagrined,
that he made up his mind never
to enter a Jewish house of wor-
ship again.
Of course he changed his mind.
For a number of years he was
president of Isaiah Temple of
Chicago. The congregation
would not let him out of office,
and he is now honorary presi.
dent; not only has he been a
leading member of the congrega-
ton, but by his life ne has set an
example of devotion to every
Jewish cause. He has activized
his religion-and he has never
hesitated to make a sacrifice
when sacrifice was necessary.
Mr.. Kraus is one of the great
Jews of America. Modest and
retiring to fault, he has not
permitted the daily press to her
aid the praises of his deeds. But
when the proper time comes
and it will be very soon-the rec
ord of Kraus' work will astound
the Jewish world. Much is going
to be shown-for though not
many know it, Kraus has been
an international figure in the re-
cent war, and he has made the
Order a factor in the treatment
the Jews by certain of the be.
ligerents since the conclusion of
the struggle. His work as the
peacemaker in the Jewish Con-
gress is well known, and had his
health permitted, it is safe to
say that he would have been the
greatest Jew at the Peace Con-
ference. However, this was out
of question, for Mr.. Kraus is not
q well man.

st is difficult to see wherein the
| imposing of sentence in the Graham
case would prejudice the minds of a
jury in a possible new trial of that
case, any more than it would in any
other case of like magnitude. As a
matter of fact, it is the verdict, rather
than the sentence, which has the
weight, if anything. in fixing bias in
the minds of the potential jurymen. -

Attorney General Archibald ex-
pressed himself on this point by say
ing: 81 see no reason why this case
should be made an exception of. | am

excepting in capital cases, where the
statute provides that it shall be done
as a matter of course, as | recall the
statute, it is an unusual procedure,
There is nothing in this case that has
developed so far that should take it
out of the ordinary course of pro-
cedure."
The court. in giving its decision not
to pass sentence, said, in part: at is
said that such motion is out of the
ordinary. 1t is somewhat unusual, but
not out of the ordinary, because such
motion has been presented several
times in courts where we have presided.
We have sent none TO the supreme
court because circumstances have not,
in our Judgment, in those particular
cases, warranted il. Here is case that
has been pronounced by counsel on both
sides of great Importance to the state.
We can see where in this
case to impose sentence at the pres
emit time might be prejudieial, either to
the state or TO the respondent if the
case should be by the supreme court !
for any reason reversed. If !
sentence was imposed at this time, and |
it should be reversed, and retired, the
Jury would have the sentence to con

tried. and in view of the Importance of /

when case is going TO supreme court,
it must be prejudicial TO all others, for
it is as impossible to keep the verdict
