unity-will cease.
Jewish solidarity will pass with
the passing of the necessity for it.
1t is fortunate that discrimination
against the Jew is universal, that no
class is immune from such injustice.
Otherwise, those whose wealth alb
solves them from direct and active
persecution would sever the bond
that unites them to their lowlier
brethren, the ancient solidarity would
dissolve, community of interest
would disappear, race-consciounes
would evaporate, and the mission Of
Israel would fail of fulfillment.
In justice to the Jews it should be
said that their solidarity always has
been defensive, never offensive. Yet
the inevitable result is to arouse re-
sentiment in others, for the reason
that they constitute a mutual benefit
society Of limited membership.
The Jew has been preserved by
persuction. When the pressure of per-
secution shall be entirely removed,
the cohesion Of crystalization-racial
unity-will cease.
Jewish solidarity will pass with
the passing Of the necessity for it.
Perhaps a faint realization Of this
fact has caused the Jew to cherish
his chains. Sometimes it seems he
has a morbid wish that the martyr
dom Of his race should not end. 1t
may be that he fears emancipation
spells extinction. In this he is not
wholly unwise. Those that are not
free have something to strive for in
common in attaining freedom; those
that enjoy freedom have something
to work for in common in freeing
those Of their fellows that still are
enslaved. Thus, by community Of
effort is solidarity indefinitely sus-
tanned. Ray Stannard Baker writes
that Rabbi Maurice II. Harris Of
Temple Israel, New York City, once
said to him: "The Jew always has
survived persecution; will he be able
now to survive emancipation?"
II is n fact for thoughtful consid-
GRAFTON that race interest diminishes
with the diminution Of race persecu-
ton, while any access Of anti-Semit-
ism invariably quickens the racial
consciousness.
Admirable as is race-consciousnes
in many Of its manifestations, 1t has
its unfortunate aspects. One Of these
is the passionate propensity to de-
fend Jewish criminals regardless Of
their deserts. II Is true that Jewish
criminals are relatively rare, but
these few should impartially be sub
ject to the same penalties as are
Gentle malefactors. Indeed, respect
able Jews should be more jealous for
punishment Of such offenders, and
first to aid in purging society Of
their presence, because Of their be-
ing a blot on the good repute Of the
race.
Take the Leo Frank case as an ex-
ample. do not presume to pass
upon the merits Of that case. do
not know whether the accused man
was guilty or innocent. What do
know is that he was defended by
countless Jews. not because he was
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-05-20

The circumstances were such that
unbiased and ununiformed persons
reasonably might assume that the
evidence justified Franks conviction.
The south always has been highly
hospitable toward the Jew. The trial
took place in state where, until
that time, Jewish prejudice had been
at minimum, and the immediate To-
cality was especially tolerant. No
where, with the possible exception OF
England, do Jews enjoy greater gen.
eral prestige than in Georgia. They
are among the oldest families of the
state. One Of the emphasized facts.
of colonial history is that the first
white child born in Georgia was Jew
ish. There was no known motive for
giving Frank other than exact JUS
tice. Yet thousands Uf Jews through
out the country who knew nothing of
the evidence, entered blindly upon an
impassioned crusade in Franks be-
helf. With the object of obtaining his
release, there was operated a prop
uganda of proportions greater than
any other ever organized except for
purposes Of war. The press, ever
acutely sensitive to the wishes of its
big advertisers, responded hysterical-
ly to the demands of the defense-an
indirect form of wholesale subsidida-
ton. The results were helpful neither
to Frank nor to the Jewish race. The
former persisted miserably at the
hands Of a mob that felt the ends
Of justice had been defeated when the
governor committed death sentence
to life imprisonment, and the latter
was suspected Of desiring immunity
from the law for Jewish felons. The
purpose may have been laudable, but
the tactics were lamentable. The
chief effect was aggravation Of race
antagonism.
Another instance Of the kind is the
case Of the three Jewish gunner of
New York who were executed ia
1913 for the murder Of the gambler,
Rosenthal. They confessed their
crime. There were no mitigating cir
cumstances. Their offense was es-
pecially heinous. They were profess
sional killers for profit-hirelings as
sassins, who slew coldly and sordid-
ly. Yet every effort was exerted by
Jews to save these bloody thugs
from the consequences Of their crime,
even to delegation of rabbis calling
upon the governor Of the state at the
last hour with a plea for clemency-
solely because they were Jews.

sire on the part Of worthy Jews to
shield crime or shelter criminals. The
attitude in these matters is prompt
ed by an over-development Of the
praiseworthy protective impulse Of a
long-persecuted race that in the past
has known for its members but little
Of even-handed justice.
Self-isolation is easily explained.
The natural gregariousness of the
Jews was greatly accentuated when
they were huddled within the Pale,
so that now they instinctively grav-
late toward the ghetto, where they
shelter themselves in collective solic-
itude.
Nor is this condition peculiar "
the lower class. The higher circles
Of Jewish society are but sublimiat-
ed ghettoes. Fashionable Jews have
their own clubs, clustered against
Gentiles, and their exclusive social
functions.
Even in Masonry, where, theoretic-
ally, is no distinction or discrimina-
ton Of caste or creed, | have heard
my Jewish brothers refer to their
lodge as a Jewish LODGE" the men,
bers thereof being exclusively Jew
ish. This exclusiveness is entirely a
matter Of choice, Jews being well
coined in any lodge Of the order.
Now former war-service men are
organizing Jewish Veterans Posts Of
the American Legion. The Great War
did little indeed for democracy IL il
failed to obliterate discriminative ra-
cial lines among comrades-at-arms.
This social segregation produces
in the Jew an intellectual insularity
that makes for irreconcillable separ-
atism in all the processes Of living.
With no point Of mental contact,
there can be no understanding by
any people of the mind-operations Of
another; and without such under
standing at the motive source there
can be no harmony Of action. As DR..
David Philipson puts il:
"The Jew, shut up within the
ghetto gates, gradually became also
intellectually ostracized from the
thought-currents in the world with
out. The visible material ghetto had
as its concomitant the impercetible
intellectual ghetto"
The present aloofness OF the Jew
is in part a remnant Of the time
when a prescribed costume marked
him as a social outcast. His instine-
tive sensitiveness is analogous TO
that of the ex-convict, who, even II
guiltless OF crime, when stripped Of
his stripes still shrinks from con-
tact with the society that has scon-
ed him.
II would be better with the Jew
were he less retrospective. In the
living present, with its insistent de-
mands for action and accomplish
ment, II profiteth not to treasure old
wrongs and cherish past sorrows.
The Jew should turn from the dark
night for the past and set his face
toward the Morning Star.
What the Jews once did by COM
pulsion they now do from choice, else
from habit, Under compression they
formed a communal concretion that
is difficult Of disintegration for in
termingling with the social mass.
Let US consider the causes Of the
Jews present social discomfort and
find IL we can wherein the fault may
