Just Another Party


Well, they've up and went and done
it againl What, who, where? Wait
minute. Don't get excited. 1t Is
only those women who work in the
cotton packing room at the Richard
son silk mill and they have had an
other of their popular and long to be
remembered suppers. This time
Mrs. Ida Hanson was hostess, and
invited the girls CD well, some were
girls anyway and a few of their
friends to meet at her home Monday
evening for a picnic supper, little
entertainment and a jolly time in
general. Usually, their suppers when
they met in the city park were SIM
pie, but the jolly time was great.
Mrs. Hanson didn't intend TO have
this any exception to the general
rule, but she just couldn't resist the
temptation to make the long table
look pretty and decidedly festive and
appetite provoking. Mrs. Jay Ham
son, her able assistant, and they
gave the ladies pleasing surprise.
After the ladies with the picnic part
arrived and the coffee began to per-
meate the air with its delicious aro-
weight of good things to be eaten by
bhC company vi
really felt a little bashful about sit
ting at the table with all those wo-
men, bu since all his family were
there, he just had to be one of the
company. When all were satisfied
with food, yea, more than satisfied,
Irving Hanson acted the part Of
postmaster and called on various
members of the party to give little
talk, recite something or tell story.
Some did, and some declared they
couldn't after such a hearty meal,
and they were not prepared for any
such dOings anyway. Certainly the
recitations and stories were most ex-
cellent and well worth repeating only
we haven't the time or space. Finally
Miss Elite Hornig acted the part of
seeress and "dealt in futures" for
the amusement of the company. The
young people of the party gave a
little music and about nine o'clock
all the guests regretfully left for
their several homes, full of happy
thoughts, good vituals, coffee and
watermelon, and a hope to meet
again.

/. A. GOLDSTEIN OF WACO
DEAD.

In the death of Mr.. l. A. Gold
stein, the city of Waco and the
state of Texas, have lost a valu-
able citizen. In the forefront of
every movement that tended for
the best interests of city, state,
nation and faith, he gave of his
time and labor freely and with
out stint. He was the type of
man that lent dignity and honor
to those tasks which he under
took, and when he took hold of
one of these tasks. he gave his
best to it.
Mr.. Goldstein was one of the
early Jewish graduates of Bay
lor, coming to Waco more than
fifty years ago. He identified
himself, when he came to Waco,
with every worthy object.
While a successful business
man, he had combined with his
business knowledge, culture and
refinement, which few business
men have.
He grew up with the growth
of Waco and he was part of its
development. He was one of
Waco's and Texas solid citizens,

THE PROPOSED JEWISH
CONGRESS CONTRO.
VERSY.


side of the question involved in
the call of the Jewish Congress,
and on the question of the defin-
iteness of the Jewish Question.
We should like to say something
in this issue about Mr.. Schom.
er's contention with regard to
the "Self" or "Headship" of the
3 Jewish people.
Mr.. Schooner states that,
"since we, Jews, keep on declar-
ing and insisting that there is
Jewish people and that we are
its members, why do we not en-
dow our people with the qualities
and attributes which enter into
the makeup of a normal body?
Why do we not endow our people
with a Headship-with a Self?
By letting our people exist with
out a Headship-without a Self,
we are actually violating two
great principles of the mind
the PRINCIPLE OF IDENTITY
and the PRINCIPLE OF CON-
SISTENCY. 1t is because Of
that, that mankind is unable to
identify us, and subconsciously
regards both, our people and
selves, as something monstrous,
unnatural and mysterious. Be-
cause we are violating the PRIN
CIPLE OF IDENTITY, man
kind does not understand us and
entertains a subconscious repug.
nance, fear, superstition and
prejudice against us. That is the
real reason why VIC and our peo-
pie are styled, "The Jewish
Spectre" "The Jewish Ghost"
and the "Jewish Mystery"
MANKIND CANNOT IDENTI-
Fly US! 1t is also for the same
reason that we are hated and &C
cused of everything that is base
and vile, even of such peculiar
mysterious crimes as poisoning
of wells, ritual murders, secret
consipracies against the world,
and so forth, and so on.
Because we Jews are violating
the PRINCIPLES OF CONSIST
ENCY, by straining all our ener-
gies to keep alive our Jewish
people, yet permitting it to ex-
list without a Headship-with-
out a Self, there j. chaos, disor-
der and confusion in our people
and among ourselves, and there
are so many minor Jewish ques-
tons that remain unanswered,
since there is no Headship-no

them. It is also for the same rea-
son that we and our Jewish peo-
pie arealways cropping in the
dark, and fail in every attempt
to combat anti-Semitism."
1t seems to us that neither the
world at large, nor we ourselves,
have any difficulty in Identify
ing the Jewish people. On the
contrary, the Identification
sometimes is more certain than
is good for us. The difficulty
with Mr.. Schooner is, that he
identifies Jewish People" with
a Jewish Nationality.
He asks "why we do not endow
our people with qualities and at
tributes which enter into the
makeup of a normal bodies?"
Normal Bodies" is a relative
term. Italy is a Normal Body.
Italians have their land, their
language, their common GUS
toms, and an organic Italian gov
eminent. The Northern Baptist
Church is a Normal Body. 1t has
it's principles, has its ministers,
it has it's churches, and they
have an organization of which
there is a head. The Catholic
Church is a Normal Body. 1t has
its organic head, it has its minis
tiers, its churches, ritual, GUS
toms, etc. Each of these bodies
is normal; although there is a
great difference between a nor
NAL body like Italy, in its parti-
cular classification, and one like
the Northern Baptist Church, in
its particular classification.
If it is Mr.. Schomer's desire to
hold a Congress, which shall
unite all of Israel on the ground
of a common religious basis and
for the purpose of continuing
Israels religious task, we agree
with him, in so far as the ideal
ism of the idea is concerned. But
we believe that Israel, all over
the world, will never be normal
body to the extent that the
Catholic Church is a Normal
Body. Israel never had a Pope,
and never will. Even the High
Priest in Palestine, thorgh he
represented Israel in all of its
functions, never had the power
of a Pope. 1t is taken for grant
ed that Mr.. Schooner sees the
uselessness of trying to bring the
Chasid of Galicia or Russia, I'M
der the same human religious
head, as the assimilated French
man, the Russian Bundist, the
German Jew, or the American
Reformed Jew.

give the Jews of the world g.
"Self," by creating a committed
composed of Jews of all Nations
for the bettermert of the politi-
cal conditions of the Jews; let US
suggest that those who were
present at the Paris meetings,
have long ago come to the con-
clusion that unity among the
different types of Israel, is IN
possible. And if Mr.. Schooner
wants a congress of Jews, for
the purpose of directing philan-
thropic activities; the matter of
Jewish identity and consistency
will get no farther than il is to-
day.
Again we may refer to our
history. Israel was scattered, but
its identity remained in exactly
the same way that it is today,
marked by Israel's affiliation
with its religious centre. Of
course Eretz Yisroel maintained
its identity as it awlays did end
as it does today. but that never
did effect the identity" of the
Jewish people.
The basic problem to be solv-
ed before a Jewish World Con-
gress can be effective is the uni
fication of Jewery in those coun-
tries in which they now live
first.
Let us consider the Jews of a
few of these lands. First, let us
look at Poland. From recent ca
bles the gap between the So
called Assimilationists and the
ants is so wide that a union will
not be affected for many moons.
Yet the question of Identity new
er bothers either the Jews them
selves, nor the hooligans who are
making life miserable for them.
In France a union between the
French Jews and those who have
lately come there will be affected
only after the complete cultural
assimilation of the descendants
of the immigrants-a matter
which many will regret, because
of the fact that in France COM
plete assimilation means almost
total Republication, unfortun-
ately.
Our experience in America,
certainly dictates against a
World Congress. 1t will take
more than mere ordinary Mes
siah to unite the various discor-
dant elements in American Jew
ry-and England is almost the
same way. There may be a Con-
gress of Jews in America but
we dare say it will be far from
