THE TORAH Is CENTER OF GRAv-
ITY OF JUDAISM SAYS DIR.
CYRUS ADLER

| C1Hl5 ADLGk,
Doctor Cyrus Adler acting president
Ut the Jewish Theological Seminary
| Of America in an address delivered
| at the commencement exercises, said
in part:
judaism Is a way of life. 1t IS
expressed thru character and conduct.
Its teachings must be reflected In the
lives Of its adherents. Right deal
ing. not honesty alone, but honor, must
shine forth In the pulpit, go out into
the mar':et place, be present Mt the
| work tcnch and enter into the profess
sional life of every Jew If the Syna-
cog = to prove the influence for which
I'm sure you hope and pray.
1t is only by the attainment Of such
l result that we are Justified in de-
manding support. We often hear the
complaint that the people do not sup
port the Synagog. Maybe the complaint
is justified. You all know as well as
do, that in recent years, determined
forces have been endeavoring to shift
the center OF gravity of Judaism from
tile Torah to other ideals. prociaiming
that the real bond of Israel is one of
race and nationality. 1t was hardly
TO be anticipated, aitho it might have
been hoped for. that an ancient people
ike Israel would not have been caught
up in the currents of a popular trend
which substitutes material values for
spiritual ones. Race is n biological
idea and I am sure any real biologist
will tell you that the lesson derived
from Genesis is scientifically correct
and that mankind Is one species. From
the highest to the lowest, there is not
sufficient difference to justify the
)OstulatiOn of even q sub-species and
il the word race be used, it applies
to the great divisions of mankind, in

If that state to which he owes political
allegiance. This is by common consent
the usage of the civilized world. EN-
bodied in its most formal and solemn
documents, and is not to be set aside
,y the casuistry either of the lawyer or
the politician.
The Seminary and institutions like il
ire predicated solely upon the theory
hat the Jews are a religious people,
lint it is their desire to maintain thnt
character and to have their members
effect this in every act of their lives,
o proclaim that tho Torah Is their
,anction outside as we'll as inside the
synngog and that no bifurcation of
principles or morals is permitted by
Judaism Tie pilpul whether of the
over or higher variety is an eScres-
.ence which we have discarded. The
highway of Judaism in this land is
,pen to travel for him who will and
none is forced to the by-ways except
he still claim the privilege of separat-
ing himself from the congregation and
doing that which is right in his own
eyes. If you, my friends, will cause
The Synagog to give real support to the
ives of the people. do not think that
you will have to complain that the
people do not support the SynagOg.

 Three Connecticut farmer boys want ed college educations.
 Garry Miles. sherman Ives and Clar- ence Vail were high in ambition but low in cash But they went to college just the same. For financial support they leaned upon hens. Yes hens!
 Each lad took his flock of hens to college with him, quartering them ir rented GOODS, feeding them and selling eggs after school hours.
 Garry's hens paid him s2T5 above their maintenance. Sherman's brought him s2o4, and Clarence's hens nettet him s2s5.74.
 The boys are paying their own way through college. Rather. we shoult say, the hens are doing the paying, fol it is they who are doing the laying. | All of which goes to show F'irst-One can get college educa tion if he wants it badly enough. Second-At the present price of egg hens are gold mines

These two men were so linked together in the so- called "AllRussian' government of Omsk that the collapse of one probably would have meant the ruin of the other in any case. But DenilSin has failed in his campaign against the reds as com pletely as did Kolchak in Siberia and Yudenftch before Petrograd.
 Of all the anti-bolshevist leaders who have taken the field since Lenine came into power, Denikin has shown the greatest courage and ability. His cam paign has been remark able, and with a little more outside support he might have taken Moscow before the Kolchak forces were routed. That he could have held Moscow after taking it is not sc certain. His foreign help could not serve him except in'a military way, and his task would have become politica, and his political support. in Russia is negligible.

 It is comparatively easy to deport aliens who are not naturalized citi- zens of the United States, but every legal subterfuge is utilized by bolshe- wiki and other radicals who have any claim to immunity. If Emma Gold man could have proved her alleged American citizenship, she would not now be on board the "soviet ark" bound for Russia. It will be noted that steps are being taken by "reds" recently rounded up by the depart ment of justice to fight deportation They have employed lawyers and will not leave America without a strug- Igle.

Name Has Been Chosen
 for Watterson Memoirs

E7T1HE title chosen for Col Henry
 O Watterson' "reminiscences was truly an inspiration. He has entitled the two volumes "Marse Henry" !" using the name by which he is known and beloved by practically all the newspaper men of the United States. When Colonel Watterson's memoirs were published in the Saturday Eve hing Post, an editorial note explained that Looking Backward" was tempo irary and there was no desire on the part of Colonel Watterson to usurp a title already made famous by Edward Bellamy in his novel.
 No more appropriate designation could be found for the autobiography of the noted Kentucky editor, who for half century edited the Louisville ICourler-J ournal. 1t has been salo Chat Colonel Watterson is the only living newspaper man who could write a ltwo-column editorial that would hold the interest of reader from begin ming to end. Certain it is that he is the last surviving representative of the old school of individual" journal | ism.
 Thousands of Colonel Watterson's admirers have read his memoirs in the Saturday Evening Post, but they
 will be more acceptable in book form
 Few men have lived such interesting lives and few have known intimately
 so many unusual characters, both at
 home and abroad.

Forlorn Hopes Cherished

sg7F HE imbattled "wets" might as A we'll quit fighting America is going to be ''bone-dry" for long time, perhaps forever, and seeking 1oopholes will profit the liquor inter ests little, if at all.
 Because the United States supreme court was not unanimous in upholding the Volstead law, brewers are report ed hopeful that successful attempt can be made to oppose constitutional prohibition as applied to 2.75 per cent beer.
 What the liquor people and their sympathizers seem to overlook is the fact that some of the smartest law yers in the country were employed to draw up the prohibition laws, state as well as federal, and they discount sed in advance most of the contentious that would be made by persons seek ing to prolong the sojourn of John Berleycorn in the United States.
 It is compliment to the lawyers who framed our prohibition laws that : they have stood the acid test of the highest courts in the land It was known in advance that no loophole would be overlooked by the vigilant "wets," and it appears that few il any were left in the ironclad prohi bition laws which are now in effect as well as constitutional prohibition which becomes effective January 16. ] John Barleycorn might as wei make up his mind to bid farewell t America There is still refuge fo him elsewhere, but militant prohibi tionists, seeking new worlds to con quer, declare he will soon be outlawe . !! in Europe as well as in America
