zone OF Senator Shoots latest
moves was the exposure Of a very
questionable attempt Of employees Of
the Bureau OF Standards in the De-
partment OF Commerce to secure
special prices on fabrics for their
personal use. The textile section OF
the Bureau of Standards deals, OF
course, with fabrics. and manufac-
turers of fabrics are more or less
subject to the Judgment or prejudic-
Is Of the employees of that bureau.
Naturally the manufacturers do not
wish to incur the enmity OF those
employees. Just as naturally, the pub
lie would require that employees Of
the Bureau OF Standards receive no
favors from manufacturers OF tex
tiles.
1.-THE Senate was astonished there
fore, when Senator Smoot read a
letter written to q manufacturer Of
fabrics by an employe OF the textile
ection OF the Bureau of Standards
saying that It was the desire Of those
employees to purchase stable fabrics
for their personal use. requesting
the manufacture to submit samples
and prices. intimating that lower
than ordinary prices were expected.

would not mention the name OF the

THE CONSTITUTION GRAND
LODGE. l. O. 0. B.

The quinquennial meeting just
held at Cleveland, by the Consti-
tuition Grand Lodge of the indie
pendent Order B'nai Birth, was
one of the most important in its
history. It marked a turning
point not only in the activities of
the Order, but also in its funda-
mental policies.
Probably the most important
action taken at this meeting, was
the abolition of secrecy. Hereto
fore, the work within the lodge.
room was held to be of a secret
character. While there was real
ly nothing secret in the work-it
being all of a religious charac-
ter-nevertheless an oath was
administered to every candidate
pledging him to secrecy. 1t had
been felt by many that a Jewish
religious Order should not be a
secret matter. 1t was felt in
fact, that secrecy was a detri.
ment. Our work is beautiful. 1t
is splendid lesson in Jewish his
tory-and as impressive as it is
interesting. Why should it be
made secret?
There was a good deal of OPP
position to the abolition of the
secret features. The represen-
tatives of the foreign districts
particularly opposed it, claiming
that the very life of the Order
would be endangered if the secret
features were done away with.
For two days the arguments pro
and con continued, when at last
through the fine tact and helpful
exposition of the President, Bro.
Kraus, an agreement was reach
ed whereby the oath of secrecy
would be done away with; the
ritual retained in its present
form, and the signs kept as
means of recognition among
brethren. This seemed to salts
fly everybody, and the change
was adopted two-thirds vote
being necessary to change the
constitution in this respect.
While discussing this question,
it was decided to increase the eff
fectiveness of the ritual by put
ting it on in screen form wher-
ever possible, and by introducing
lectures on the various phases of
history touched in the ritual.
Another very important mat
ter was the extension of the work
of the Anti-Defamation League.
Heretofore it has been a sort of
watch-bureau against the defa-
nation and misuse of the jew
ish name. 1t has done splendid
work in eliminating the wrong
use of the word Hebrew" or
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-05-21

in eliminating almost entirely
the odious Hebrew" comedian
from the stage; it has been res
ponsible in a large degree for the
diminution of the anti-Jewish
phrases in the so-called summer
hotel advertisements. The Lea
que has even been instrumental
in having bills introduced into
several state legislatures prohib-
iting discrimination in hotels
against a certain kind of PATRON
age-many hotels had been MAX
ing a feature of excluding Jews.
All Of this work has been highly
valuable-much more so than
one would think, unless one took
the trouble to investigate.
But it was the recommends
ton of Mr.. Kraus that the work
of the bureau be extended. He
rightly said that the root of the
evil of prejudice exists in the
teachings by many Christians, of
the story of the alleged part the
Jews had in the crucifixion of
Jesus. If the Christian world
could be shown the injustice of
this teaching-and its lack of
historical basis-much could be
accomplished towards the eradi-
cation of the great trouble. He
proposed that the work of the
League be extended to include
the task of formulating the facts
of the crucifixtion and the part
our ancestors actually played in
it, in some sort of literary form,
and then with the cooperation of
Christian scholars, put these
facts before the commanding
bodies of Christians-the mis-
sionary bodies, the teachers and
the ministers, and working in CO.
operation with them, see wheth-
err much that is now being taught
without realing the harm that is
done, may not be corrected, and
thus render an invaluable assist
ance in roofing out the prejudice
which is now being engendered.
Of course, in this commendable
enterprise the president had the
entire and hearty cooperation of
the whole body of the conven-
ton. A commission will probably
be appointed consisting of the
heads of the Order and the Anti
Defamation League, and the best
Jewish and Christian scholars
both on the theological and legal
side-to formulate if possible, a
clear and historical document,
which will be used in the efforts
to change the present method of
instruction of the crucifixion
story. 1t seems to us that is the
greatest work that the Order has

idol of the Order. Though at first
there was some opposition to him
on account of his age and state of
health, he soon showed that he
was still the great Jewish leader
of ten years ago. The opposition
to him melted like snow before a
hot sun, and the convention paid
him a remarkable tribute by an
ovation which lasted several
minutes. Seelenfreund, was of
course, reelected secretary. He
cannot be beat. One wonders
what would become of the rou-
tine of the Order without him.
Though sometimes short and
gruff, he is the best secretary
the Order ever had, and nothing
is too hard for him to do, so long
as the B'nai Birth is the benefi-
ciary. Hartman, Marx, Calisch,
Stein, amiable Lucius Solomons,
suave and diplomatic Singer, ag-
gressive Kusworm-all these
were there, helping to make the
great Order of the past, the
great Order of the future.
There was one new face that
will not be soon forgotten-and
though this was the first quin-
quennial convention of Alfred
M. Cohen of Cicinnati, he was
well-known to many on the floor.
But it did not take long for him
to establish the fact that he was
one of the very strongest men
at the convention. Alfred Cohen
is one of the foremost Jews of
America. He is one of the fore
most men of the great state of
Ohio. He could have had the
Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of Ohio. He was a state
Senator. He is president of the
Board of Trustees of the Hebrew
Union College, and is one of the
commanding characters of the
Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations. He is unselfish in his
Jewish work, loyal and deeply
Jewish. He made a stirring i'm
preston on the floor of the con-
vention-so stirring, that when
some opposition to Kraus devel-
oped, he was Immediately chosen
to oppose Kraus for the presi-
dency. But Cohen is too fine a
man to permit himself to be used
in unnecessary opposition"
movements. He discouraged the
opposition to Adolf Kraus, and
as stated above, it vanished. But
this one thing was established.
Alfred M. Cohen can be the next
president of the Order. Mr..
Kraus intimated that he would
remain in office until the new
work of the Anti-Defamation

ever undertaken and if it can be
successful in this project, it will
have rendered an unforgettable
service to the Jewry of the
world.
Of course funds will be needed
for this purpose. And we are GER
tain that no difficulty will be ex-
perienced in getting them, with
such a work as this to merit
them.
The convention also went on
record as favoring the establish
ment of a Lyceum Bureau, whose
function it will be to send speak
ers and lecturers over the coun-
try, setting forth not only the OBJ
jects of the Order but delivering
lectures on Jewish history, top
les of Jewish interest an other
matters that touch the Jewish
body, in general. This is done in
order to stimulate interest in the
lodge, as well as to give the
members something of a def
nitely cultural character. There
has been good deal of complaint
about the lack of interest in the
lodge rooms, and it is thought
that a bureau of this sort, will
stimulate cultural interest not
only in the B'nai Birth, but in
Judaism as well. The plans for
this large undertaking have not
yet been worked out, but a COM
mittee has been appointed to see
what sort of a workable plan
might be worked out.
Other matters of interest were
discussed. The Jewish situation
in Europe and Asia was thor
oughly considered by the Presi-
dent in a most mastery report.
In fact, the report of Mr.. Kraus
was not just a report of what had
been accomplished by the Order
in the last five years; it was a
magnificent Jewish historical
document, containing a clear,
logical and concise analysis of
the condition of Jewry the world
over, and the contribution of the
Order in the direction of tighten
ing Jewry's burdens. Too much
praise cannot be accorded Mr..
Kraus for his report-it is a
work that ought to be on the
shelves of every thinking Jew.
We suggest that the report be
printed in quantities for distribu-
ton to members-to read it, is
to make a better Jew and bet
ter Ben Birth.

Just that you say words. You must
say them so they attract and convince.
We all use pretty much the same
words but they sound so differently
from the mouths of different people.
There are books galore that are musty
with muse because what they say is
poorly said. If the thought had been
matured into small compass and told
in telling diction they should be popu-
lar works. And it's the same with
speech. Some men have good ideas,
but they take so long to tell them that
people get tired. Sometimes they even
get weary before the man begins to
speak. The world wants what you
