from the cities and industrial
centres, to the farms, the most
serious objection to the incom-
ing of foreigners would be re-
moved; and while the CONNER
cial interests and therefore other
interests are bettered by those
who 60 into commercial pursuits,
the country at large would gain
unreasonable benefit, if a large
number Of incoming co-religion-
lists would settle on the farms
that are being vacated by the
hundreds, and would develop into
successful farmers.
The desertion of the farm is
becoming q serious question in
this country-and some meas
ures will soon have to be adopted
whereby there will be some as
surance that enough will be pro-
duced from the earth, to feed the
ever-increasing populations Of
our cities.
Mr.. Marshall was right. Let
our incoming co-religionists de-
velop into healthy farmers, in
stead Of weakened urbanites.

THE BLUE-LAW REVIVAL.
From a New Bible.

And it came to pass that a
wicked generation had multiplied
and filled the earth. And the
land was full of sin. The Com
mandments were being violated.
The worship of God gave way to
the worship of Mammon. Rever-
ence for God gave way to rever-
ence for things material. There
was no Sabbath-no day of rest.
Men and women rode on cars;
they sought pleasures on the day
of holiness that had been set
aside for the Sunday school and
the church. They played ball and
golf and went out for rides in
their automobiles; they even
rested their minds that had
worked hard and YEARLY all

THE JEWS AND THE SOIL.

At the annual convention Of
the Federation of Jewish Farm
ers of America, Louis Marshall
of New York, made an appeal for
a return of the Jew to the soil.
Mr.. MarshalPs appeal is timely.
1t is a pity that our people do not
take to the soil in greater num-
bers. Although there are fifty
millions of dollars worth of farm
lands in the hands of Jews in
this country with equipment val
ued at over ten millions of dol
lars, a return of larger numbers
to the land, would be of inestim-
able value not only to those who
would go on farms, but to the ma
ton itself. We are becoming ur-
BANKED at an alarming rate. One
Of the most serious of the OBJ
jections to immigration, is that
our people will drift to and settle
in large cities and industrial CEN
tres. Let us admit that this OBJ
lection is well-founded. Only the
fewest of the Jewish immigrants
go to the farms, and yet farming
or rather land and agriculture
are the very basis of all healthy
economic life. The country feeds
the city-and famine in the
country means starvation in the
city.
If the national organizations
interested in Jewish immigra-
ton could divert the stream of
those who come to these shores,

TAFT AND THE JEW.

The lecture of EX-President
William Howard Taft in Chicago
last week ought to go a long way
towards lessening the harm that
is being done by Ford. Judge
Taft is one of the commanding
personalities not only of Ameri-
ca but of the world, and the
words uttered by him carry ire
mendous weight. Within the
last few years, he has endeared
himself to the American public
in a way that no other American
with the exception of Roosevelt,
did, and what he has to say
about the questions of the day, is
listened to with attention and
earnestness. Not only the Jews,
but all right-thinking citizens
are under obligations to him, for
in clarion voice he sets forth the
true principles upon which Am
erican democracy is built. There
is not the slightest ground for
anti-Semitism among u.s." said
Mr. Taft. 1T has no place in free
America. And we are willing to
stake the judgment of the gen.
ial ex-president against that of
the paid minions of Henry Ford.
We may say in passing, that
Mr.. Taft told the writer that in
his judgment, whatever influ-
ence Henry Ford could have
through his sheet, so far as
spreading anti-Semitism is con-
cerned, would be of temporary
character. Mr.. Taft does not be-
lieve that America will take
Ford's propaganda seriously, he
said. May he be as good a proph-
ct, as he is wise, a Judge!
