Address by DR.. Louis Grossman

then, fight is not the same as war,
fight is measurement of intellectual
or moral strength, and war has neith-
err the one nor the other. Tell me
what you are fighting for, and I shall
tell you what you are. And tell me
how you do your fighting and l shall
tell you who you are. But whatever
you are, if you want to be better (not
bigger you will have to put forth
your strongest, your best, your most
telling self. You can not prevail, you
can not keep what you have, you can
not advance one step, you can not get
nor hold one single thing unless you
declare, assert your right. This is
sovereign law in life and experience
and none can afford to ignore it.
The flaw in modern life is the fact
that we fight without an ideal, just
for bread and water, for the sordid
things, and not for high purposes,
1t is a many-cornered, thousand.
fold fight without an inner motive.
a fight in which there is not even the
exhiliration of a noble conscious
something worth the fight. The old
man struggles to keep his hold on

the wages, the young man to get his
hand on them. Business is tussle
in which both buyer and seller are
dragged down, and even the profess
sions are commercialized. In GER
tain sense, we might say, the war
is merely the modern sordid spirit
writ large. 1t appeals US, as all large
pictures projected before the eye do.
National jealousy and national self
ishness and national greed merely
more terrible, but the same as that
Of you and me and Of the average
human nature of today. Real men
do not resent that they are chal-
lenged, but they do resent that they
must waste their lives on things and
with small, petty persons. 1t is not
hard to give your energies, but it is
hard to waste them on what, after
all, makes you no happier or better.
That is why so many regard their
lives as drudgery; they miss the zest,
the love, the finer contentment; they
long for the moral reformation
which will make life worth living for
its own sake, and will lift men above
the competitions and rivalries and let
the exercise of mind and heart be-
come a joy, instead of as it is now,
a slavery and a EQUALIZATION.
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-10-22
Friday, October %, 1920.

An ideal is the best investment we
can make. 1t makes burdens tolera-
BILE; it transmutes need into ambition
and it glorifies the small things Of
life. We need nothing so much TO-
day, under stress Of our industrial
conditions, as a lighter touch in our
souls. Call it idealism, call 1t roman
ticism, call it righteousness, call II a
finer morality, call it spirituality, IL
amounts to the same thing. We must
have it, if we are to get out Of life
what life is meant to give. We fight
with one another, rather than against
one another, because we love and re-
spect life equally.
The Cost of War.
The other day / read list Of the
men who were killed in one Of the bat
ties Of the European war. In that
list / came across the name Of bac-
teriologist, a man who had been an
assistant of the great Paul Ehrlich.
The shot that killed that young man
put an end to his experimentation
in the medical laboratory and to the
hopes six hundred thousand sick men
and women had in them. 1t Is said
that the serum he had almost perfect
ed would have saved that many suf-
ferers in Germany alone, not to count

joy it and then forget it, being eager
for the new. The cycle of the year
pricks up our interest: just while
ago it was winter that braced us and
our blood Jingle, and now it is spring
that coaxes out the bright green and
fills the air with sweetness. The Won
der is not that we are interested but
that we are so quickly stated. Only
poets hold enthusiasts; most people
simply raise their eyebrows and pass
on to the order of business. 1t is the
town that has taken out of us the
freshness and buoyancy which nature
is so generous and insistent to put
into us. Not only the poor who see
trees and grass very little, but also
the rich have become dull to the beau
ties of earth and sky and life. The
fact that beauty does not pay, and so
we shrug our shoulders when we come
at it. 1t "pays" well enough when we
are tired, for then we run to country,
sea shore and the open life passion
ately. But as long as we are under
the stress of routine we have not eyes
for what is above us nor ears for
"the music of the breezes."
Modern life is prosaic and there is
a dull gray over all the things that
make up home and society and work.
And we need freedom from the tyran-
nv which we ourselves have placed on
life. Our homes lack the sprightly
tone, our social amenities have be-
come conventional, and the occasional
licenses which break in on them are
not so much indiscretions as they are
outbreaks of human nature which is
tired of the commonplace. And our
work is becoming drudgery, for the
working man no less than for the
man who deals it out to him. Both
are coldly at their task and are glad
to get through with it. There is no
love on either side. Some say machin-
cry has done that land that may be
true. But modern prosaic life has done
it. which has allowed machinery to
run over us, body and soul. How the
people would freshen UP, if we would
let them 90 out into the open, just
now when there is new and healthy
life in the air and in the trees and in
the softened soil! Every street Of our
large cities should end in country
road, and it should be open to at least
the young upon whom our future de-
ponds. Some cities lag behind in the
race and competition of market and
business simply because their atmos-
phere is vapid and heavy. AS we
breathe so we are. 1t would be prof
table investment to supply fresh, bal
my air just as much as milk ami
bread. Wide streets and parks AMI
trees and grass "pay." This is the
season when, along with nature, also
a city with teeming human nature has
its resurrection.
To Know Oneself.
Fight it not wrong in itself. 1t all
depends what you are fighting for
and how you do your fighting. Only an
effeminate age decries fight as such.
All Of life is fight. You fight against
a competition and you do all you can
to put him out Of the way. And the
fight brings the best out Of you, and
the best out Of him to meet yours.
There is kind Of fight which is bru-
taI md there IL n kind which is on the

LEHLBACH BILL
READY this WEEK,
AUTHOR PROMISES
Tells Federal Employees
No Time Will Be Lost
Introducing 1t.

The Lehlbach reclassification bill
will be ready by the end of the
week. Representative FREDERICK K
Lehlbach. Of New Jersey. author OF
the measure. told Federal employees
who met Tuesday night under aus
pices OF the Joint Commission on

session. When Congress reconvenes.
March II. as is now expected, every
effort will be made to have the bill
enacted into a law SO that II may
become operative before the begin
ming OF the next fiscal year.
To the objections already raised
in many quarters that considera-
tion of the bill should be deferred
until the consummation Of the pro-
posed reorganization OF the execu-
tive branch of the government, Rep
resentative Lehlbach said that re-
classification would facilitate reor-
ganization of the government de-
partments.
He declared that, contrary TO cur
rent reports. the views Of both the
Civil Service Commission and the
Committee on Reform of the Civil
Service were in harmony save In
the matter of procedure He de-
clared the fundamental principles
OF both plans for reclassification
were alike.
jeremiah Connolly. chairman oi
the Joint Commission on Reclassi-
fication, presided at the meeting.
Representative Lehlbach's address
was followed by a meeting OF the

A sight somewhat unusual to
American eyes was the prompter's
little box which was placed in the

we'll worth seeing.
The scene of the opera is laid In

his i'll luck which turns all his ef.
forts to disadvantage. Pippo, hi,
shepherd, brings from Rocco's
