A LOSS TO THE CON-
MUNITY.

Editorial Duluth Evening Her
aid, Saturday, Nov. Is, 1920
DR.. Maurice Lefkovits, for
fourteen years rabbi of Temple
Emmanuel, leaves Monday to
take up his new work as vice
president of Minneapolis bank,
pursuant to his recent resigna-
ton for that purpose.
Duluth is sorry to see DR.. LEI
kovits go. During his years in
Duluth he has done far more than
build up splendid congregation,
for which we need not speak be-
cause it speaks for itself. He has
been active in public works of
many kinds, and always fruitfully
active. He is an unusually elo-
quent speaker, and of that there
is no better evidence than the
marvellous way he has charmed
money out of audiences for church
and public purposes. If he should
prove as effective in getting de-
posts as he has been in raising
money for such purposes, the 9TH
er Minneapolis banks had better
look out.
DR.. Lefkovits has contributed
much in thought, in speech and in
personal activities to good causes
in this city. He has been good
citizen of type not easily found
or easily spared. His fellow citi-
zens will wish him godspeed and
good luck in the new field and the
new calling to which he goes.

MILLERAND'S JEWISH
nEcCENT
DESCENT.

Reference has already been
made to the Jewish descent of
the President of the French Re-
public, Mr.. Millerand. His orr
gin is one of the romances of his
tory. His mother it appears was
Melanie Cahen, her father being
a poor hawker, who used to Off
ciate as Beadle at the Synagogue
in Rue de Nazareth during the
High Festivals. In the course of
his rounds the hawker frequently
stayed with a wine-dealer named
Millerand-the keeper of an es-
taninet-and his son fell in love
with the hawker's daughter whose
son is now the President A ma
ternal uncle of Mr.. Mi1lerand,
Ephraim Cahen who was we'll off
and a disciple of Voltaire, charged
himself with the education of
the young Millerand, and by this
means the President had the first
means afforded him of gaining the
position he occupies. It must go
on record that this President who
is of such near Jewish origin is
also one of the most bitter foes
of Russian Bolshevism. Another

EDITORIAL NOTES.
From Hebrew Standard, New
York.

Minneapolis Jewry has what is
known as "Gymal Doled" club.
1t seems to be club, both Jewish
and social. 1t is Jewish in the
sense that it provides a forum
for the ventilation of communal
problems. Recently it offered the
children of its members a Hal
1owe'en party, and loudly Wanted
it's enterprise. We do not share
it's pride in such an achievement.
Halloween is an essentially
Christian celebration, and certain
ly does not point the way where
by Judaism, not to mention Jew
ishness, may be taught to our
children.
"Everybody's doin' it now!"
Here is The American Jewish
World, a publication of our great
Northwest, demanding that the
Zionists reorganize their forces.
And the editorial leader of a re-
cent issue of the English page of
The Jewish Daily News of this
city assures the Zionists of Lon
don that Justice Brandeis and
those who are working with him
have not behind them the voice
and the sentiments of American
Zionists,'" and that american
Zionists will not tolerate any Sc
cession." Such a positive pro-
nouncement no doubt must glad
den the hearts of the European
Zionists, especially if they pause
to reflect that the author of the
illumination was at one time the
"bunkie" of an official high in the
councils of the Zionist Organiza-
ton of America and in the conf
dence of Mr.. Justice Brandeis
himself.

which is to go to our War Suffer
ers' Relief. Our non-Jewish
neighbors, especially those of the

mittee are certainly treating us
kindly and generously. Let every
Jew consider how much time and
energy it would require on Our
part to raise this year 100000
for Jewish War Relief. We are
spared all this trouble by the
present campaign, for which we
Jews should be duly grateful, and
act accordingly.

We agree with most of our con-
ferees that Mr.. Abraham S. Scho-
mer's plan of a World Jewish
Congress to convene at The
Hague in May, is, to say the least,
hair Drained scheme. 1t would
be more than a miracle if any
Jews were actually found to es-
pouse the idea, and to try to
carry out the plan. Merely to
conceive such an idea of per-
fectly organized government with
a constitution and all other ap-
purtenances for the Jews in the
diaspora, shows mind as de-
tached from things mundane and
practical as if it belonged to the
man in the moon. That all gov
ornamental authority must be
backed by some kind Of force,
does not seem to have occurred
to Mr.. Schooner. What, for in
stance, will the Executive of and
for the whole Jewish People" do,
if some Jew or Jews, somewhere,
do not abide by the Constitution
of the People of Israel, or do not
pay the annual tax to the Treas
urer of Israel? They will, we sup
pose, be read out of the fold, as
not belonging to the people of
Israel. We fear that nine-tenths
of the Jews of the world will suf-
fer this fate. And if anything
were needed to give "Tin Liz
zie's" hired liar new excuse for
slandering some more the Jew
ish people of the world, this Pan
Israel Congress would supply the
need.

BOY ARRESTED ON A
CHARGE OF STEALING
MELONS OUT OF CAR

Watermelon season isn't on at
Albuquerque yet and there are no
patches nearby for the small boys
to prey upon. but Manuel Sails
who isn't a colored boy but has
just as big a taste for watermelons
as any of 'em-yesterday broke
open the seal Of car and took out
several melons. At least this is the
charge brought against him by
Special Officer Louis w. Beach Of
the Santa Fe railroad.
Officer Beach was at the court
house late yesterday afternoon
looking for Justice of the Peace
Modesto c. Ortiz to give the boy
a hearing. "He says he Is going to
plead guilty." said Beach, "but if
he doesn't have the names Of
several other boys who say they
saw him break the seal" Breaking
seals on cars is a federal offense
and IL Sails does not plead guilty
he will probably be arraigned be-
fore d. F. Mcdonald. Sails gave
his age as IA years.
