The Jew~~Victim Of Misun~
derstanding
By Rabbi Morris Teller, Tulsa, Okla.

why Will tne world forget That among
Jews, as amnog all human beings,
there are the good as we'll as the bad;
and as among other human beings,
the bad are far outnumbered by the
good.
Even in our own blessed land,
where, as statistics will prove, the
Jewish people in proportion to their
population, have shed as much blood
and contributed as much money as
any other group toward the preserva-
ton and maintenance of the sacred
and cherished ideals for which Amer
lea stands-liberty and equality for
all-even here it has become neces-
sary for the Jew to defend himself
against the insidious attacks of a
handful of so-called Americans who
enormously believe that American.
ism is synonymous with anti-Semit-
ism. They would like to form an an
ti-Semitic party in America, after the
European model. With them the wish
is farther to the thought, and since
they wish to hate the Jew for no 9TH
er reason than that he is Jew, they
would frame up reasons for hating
him. They assert that the Jew is
materialist. There is no denial of the
fact that there are Jews who seem to
devote their life to acquisition Of
wealth and the pursuit Of pleasure;
but this is by no means true char
acteristic of the Jewish people as a
whole. If there are Jewish material
lists, it is because as human beings,
were all immune from the prevalent
diseases-and materialism is at pres
ent a universal plague which claims
millions of victims among all relig-
ious and nationalities.
The Jews are also accused Of being
radicals, eager to cure all ills Of the
world at once, and If necessary, by
violence. Indeed, there are such beings
among the Jews, but very few, and as
a rule the only Jewish feature about
these radicals is that their features
are Jewish; otherwise they have no
sympathy with the Jewish people, nor
do the Jewish people sympathize with
their cause The bulk Of the Jewish
people is not at all proud Of and is
even opposed to the radicalistic no.
tons that some, who happen to be
born Jews, entertain.
Judaism and the mode Of living Of
the Jewish people as whole give the
lie to the accusations made against
the Jewish people. Judaism decrys
gross materialism, but, on the other
hand, the prophets and the Rabbis did
not advocate asceticism and self-mor-
LITIGATION. Judaism teaches the golden
mean-that is, to obtain wealth is not
wrong but it must be obtained hon.
estly; to enjoy life is not sin but Il
must be enjoyed honorably. The Jew
Tor any one else) who profiteers Is
not disciple Of the Prophets, and the
profligate is not a good Jew.
And as for radicalism, Judaism
teaches the only wholesome kind Of
radicalism and that is, the eradica-
ton Of injustice and oppression. jew
.ish radicalism is by no means to he
confused with present day Socialism
or Anarchism. Moses was not spirit
ual ancestor Of Karl Marx, nor was
the Prophet Amos the prototype Of

To BIC HOLD-UP
Ben Jorgenson and Joseph
Gadek Held by Recorder in
Bail in Roosevelt Gambling
FOUR IN HOLD-UP PARTY
Understood That all are Perth
Amboy Men.-Another Ar
rest is expected to be Made

in the Roosevelt gambling house on
Saturday night when the place was
looted by highwaymen each fur
nished $1,000 bail this morning be-
fore Recorder Pickersgill as material
witnesses to appear before the grand
Jury when wanted.
1t has been definitely learned that
four men were in the holdup party,
and 1t II understood that all four are
Perth Amboy men. Another Perth
Amboy man who was in the gamb-
ling house when the hoidup men
faided the joint, Is expected to be
taken into custody before many
hours.
1t is said that all four holdup men
are we'll known to the county detec-
tives and Roosevelt police. and that
they left the city to return again In
q short while. 1t is said that be-
tween $500 and $4,000 was taken
from the gamblers, and according to
reports some of this money was
given back on Sunday when the
holdup men were approached by
some Of the gamblers.
The four men who furnished bail
in Roosevelt early this week are said
to, be all Roosevelt men and not
Perth Amboyans as originally stated.
The arrest Of the holdup men and
the remainder of the men who were
in the gambling house on the night
of the holdup will enable the state
to work up their case.

TALK Of bRnNN
F0RC0NGRESS
Originated in Monmouth
County Due to Geran Being
Taken out of Race.

That Senator Thomas Brown of
this city is being seriously talked
OF by the Democrats in the third
congressional district as the most
likely man to enter the congression-
al race In the place of Elmer H.
Geran of Matawan. who was slated
for the nomination until his appoint
ment as United States district at
torney by President Wilson, was
learned yesterday from Democrats
In Monmouth county. The talk of
Brown seems to have originated in
Monmouth county and it is consider
ed that IL he would enter the contest
he would make strong candidate.
There is also talk in Monmouth
among the Democrats that Melvin
A. Rice the candidate for delegate
in the Presidential primaries who
was defeated by Bernard M. Cannon
OF Perth Amboy. might be consider
ed as the nominee for congressman,
but the talk for Senator Brown,
seems to be greatest just at this time.
Senator Brown is now on his way
to the Democratic National Conven-
ton in California and for this reason
could not be seen, but at his Office
here 1t was said that 1t was not
likely that he would consider enter
ing the congressional race.
On the Republican side of the
fence. I. Frank Appleby, a former
mayor of Asbury Park. still contin-
ues to loom up as the most likely
candidate for the nomination of
congressman in the Republican pri-
maries. Mr.. Appleby keeps plug
ging away at his business campaign
and has received the unanimous
support of the Republican Club of
Asbury Park in his efforts to obtain
the nomination. This action on the
part of the Asbury Park Republican
club would seem to discredit the
report that Appleby is not popular
in his home town.
During the next week or two Mr..
Appleby will center his attentions
in Middlesex county, attending sew
eral meetings to be held at differ
ent places in the county and in this
way add>.to his popularity and fur
ther the idea of his business admin
istration.

ACTION ON MILK
BY HEALTH BID.
One Concern put on Months
Probation --After all Deal
ers to Better Standard.

The appearance of the owners OF
Perth Amboy Milk G. Cream Co., at
the regular meeting of the Board of
Health last night will probably re-
suit in a stricter investigation #
conditions In every milk establish
ment in the city. Summoned to ap-
pear before the board on several
charges. the most serious of which
was the unsanitary conditions of the
establishment, the three partners
came to an understanding with the
board manifesting their willingness
to remedy anything in their plant
which the board might deem neces-
sary for the health of the public.
Where milk is pasteurized, the
board insisted that the most sanitary
conditions must exist. Upon the
charge Of the inspector that the pas
tuerizer was not in good condition,
the representatives of the milk COM
pany said that a new apparatus had
been ordered three months ago. but
because Of the railroad conditions.
1t had not yet been shipped. They
assured the board, however, that the
machine they are now using can be
adjusted to come up to the require
ments. Pasteurization, which Is a
process OF sterilizing by extreme heat
always raises the price of milk con-
siderably. but the test OF the Perth
Amboy Milk & Cream Company milk
showed an abnormal presence Of bac-
terra.
Promising to remedy every pos
sible defect in their system the own.
ers of the company were placed up
on probation for one month in which
to get their plant into the proper
shape, at the end of which time, IL
conditions are not satisfactory to the
board, their license will be revoked.
Tho city nurses were present at
last nights meeting and told briefly
OF some OF the child hygiene clinic
conference which they attended at
Asbury Park. Saturday, June IL. The
nurses reported that the problems
which they heard discussed at the
conference were much the same as
those which develop here in Perth
Amboy.
A delegation from the master
painters association appeared before
the board representing their organi-
zation with grievance against
Thomas Wilhelm. sanitary inspector
on the grounds that he was doing
unauthorized painting. 1t developed
that Wilhelm was assisting his
father-in-law to paint his home on
his (Wilhelm's) own time. In view
of this fact. the board deemed the
case entirely out of it's jurisdiction.
as the inspectors time is his own
while not on duty with the city.
Letters were read from three
nurses. Christine Jensen. Daisy MUIR
whom applied for positions on the
nursing staff of the city. The decis-
ION at the last meeting. to add an
other nurse TO the staff will probably
result in the appointment of one
of these three permanently.
Three milk and seven ice-cream IL
censes were granted last night. bu.
the restaurant license of /. p. Jensen.
which was revoked at the last meet
ing for unsanitary conditions was
not yet returned.

LINCOLN. Neb.. June 23:-Dis-
cussing possible Democratic candl-
dates for the presidency William j.
Bryan in an article in his newspa-
per, the Commoner, declares that
William q. McAdoo is Handicapped
for a candidate by his close rela-
tionship with the President, while
President Wilson need not be con-

Asserting that Mr.. McAdoo Is also
handicapped by his silence on the

that Mr.. McAdoo is unable to call
TO his support those to whom the
presidential candidacy appealed

would furnish an easy mark for
all of the Presidents opponents" :"
The article said that Mr.. McAdoo
had considerable strength among
the wage earners.
Referring TO Mr.. Wilson, Nj.
Bryan said while suggestions have
been thrown out occasionally no
one claiming TO speak for the Pres
ident or near enough to him cares
to announce his candidacy.
Herbert Hoover is eliminated
from the list of candidates whom
Mr.. Bryan considers, while Senator
owen of Oklahoma or Secretary OF
Agriculture Meredith are described
as being other men thus far men,

candidate must be known to be for

General Palmer, Mr.. Bryan says he
entered the campaign in a position
to deal sternly with the profiteer
and an expectant public stood ready
TO applaud. but the profiteer seems
to have things his own way and the

A complicating feature OF con.

ever, that there might be general
agreement to let each delegate BE-

victions when the prohibition issue
came to a final showdown. On that
basis both sides were predicting v1c-

the outcome would be close. Some

Mr.. Bryan is expected to make Z

his friends is that he win reservs

ton problem. He II expected u
the treaty fireworks may start with
the arrival Of Senator Carter. 0lA1o.
of Virginia. who Is credited with
holding President Wilson's commits
sion to write the administrations
league OF nations fight. -,
Senator Glass is the leading cam
didate for chairman of the platform
committee and the prediction was
he would be chosen to that position
with little Opposition. Some OF the
anti-administration managers had
not abandoned hope that they
might combine theAr forces to elect
someone else.
Chairman Cummings said 1t was
still an open question whether the
adaptation of the platform for the
choice of a nominee would come
first on the program. The prospects
of prolonged fight in the commits
tee over prohibition and perhaps
some other subjects has led to the
movement to go ahead with ballot
ing while the committee sits.
The usual order is to dispose Of
the platform first and the general
feeling seemed to be that custom
would be followed.
Such talk as there was concern
ing candidates seemed to strengthen
the problem of prospect Of dead
lock for several ballots. Some Of
those in the inner circle of plans
said it was hard to conceive how
the two-thirds necessary to nomi-
nate could be brought into one
column for two or three roll calls
at least and they pointed out that
IL two or three candidates divided
the bulk of the voting strength
among them, "favorite song and
dark horses" would be encouEaood
to prolong the deadlock by hoId1no

matter of the bill filed in the court
