was carrying the days receipts, about
SIS. In his pockets. While waiting
for a freight train 10 pass, he was
startled by hearing some one exclaim:
Throw up your hands," and on turn
ing towards the speaker. he found
himself looking in the muzzie OF re-
volver.
Thinking the man was joking, Rus
sell at first refused, but when the man
again demanded that he throw up his
hands he reached in his pocket for
his money and handed it 10 the high
wayman, who Immediately ran be-
tween some old buildings and dis
appeared.
His cries for help proving futile,
on account Of the noise made by the
passing freight train, Mr.. Russell got
in touch with police headquarters and
he could not be located.

a handkerchief belonging 20 the man

At the time Of the holdup. Mr.. Rus
sell thought he recognized the man
and described him as being stout,

they saw the man walking the streets
in the early part OF the evening.

ELIMINATING CHARITIES.

AT a recent meeting of the
Jewish Social Service Confer
ence, Mr.. julius Rosenwald of
Chicago, urged the elimination
of charities, stating that their
usefulness had ceased, and urg-
ing that loan funds be substitute
ed wherever possible, instead of
gifts that make the dependents
more dependent and in ordinary
parlance make "schnorrers."
Mr.. Rosenwald is on eminently
Jewish ground in his theory. 1t
is common knowledge that the
Bible contains no word for Char
ity," as we understand the mean
ing of the word. The word,
"tsedakah" does not mean char
ity, it means justice.

ENGLAND'S POLICY IN THE
FAR EAST.

Winston Spencer Churchill,
Colonial Secretary, announced
in the House of Commons that
England is planning to create an
independent Arab government in
Mesopotamia, and build it
around Bagdad, with a view to
building up the glory of the old
Arab races in that part Of the
world. This new government is
to take the place of the unstable
provisional government.
This news has an interesting
angle for those who are interest
ed in the development of Pales-
tine. 1t is no secret that one of
the very worst fears on the part
Of those who have been sponsor
ing the rehabilitation of the
Holy Land has been the un-
friendly attitude of Arabs who
have looked upon the aims of the
Zionists as prejudicial to their
interests. Now with the creation
of the new Arab state in Meso-
potamia, and with the Hedjaz,
the Arab state that already ex.
lists, much ground of the fear
will have been removed.
Whether this new venture of
the part of Great Britain will
quiet the Arabs is yet to be seen.
But it surely looks as if this were
another step on the part of Eng
land towards fulfilling the
pledge contained in the Balfour
Declaration.

THE PASSING OF PROF. NOR
RIS JASTROW.

America has not a superabun-
dance of Jewish scholars who de-
vote themselves to the field of
Semitic literatures. We have a
lot of names of men who were
born Jews or rather born of Jew
ish parents, and who have even
before, or since attaining fame,
removed themselves from the
Household of Israel. But in the
field of Semitics, we have only
a few who, Jews as Jews, give
themselves up to the science of
Semitics.
The death of Prof. Morris Jas
trow of the University of Penn
sylvania, is therefore an irrepar-
able loss to Israel. Starting his
career as a rabbi, but giving it
up because of his too great as
similationist tendencies, Jastrow
the son of a rabbi, began to study
Semitics in all of its branches.
Before he attained middle age,

DR.. Weitzmann, president of
the World Zionist Organization,
who is now on his return trip to
Europe and Palestine in the in
terest of Zionism, can, with
truth, repeat the old "veni, vidi,
vici." He came to America, he
saw conditions here, and he was
victorious at the convention of
the American Zionist Organiza-
ton, held recently at Cleveland.
This convention, called by the

he had become famous as Sem
itic scholar, and at the age of 60
he was not quite that old at the
time death took him, he
was one of the recognized au-
thorities in Semitics, and so
much so, that he was asked by
the German scholars, who are
anything but friendly to Jews,
to translate into German, his ia
nous History of the Religion
of the Assyrians and Babylon
ians."
Jastrow, though not active in
Jewish circles, rendered Israel
an undying service, in his pres
entation of the claims of Juda-
ism. He was impartial in his in
vestigations, but this very i'm
Partially proved a boon TO the
Jews. If the Christian scholars
could treat our history with JUS
tice, there would be eliminated
one of the sources of what be-
comes anti-Semitism in the edu-
cational circles. But they cannot
do it-what is Jewish must be in
ferior, and what is good in Ju-
daism, Judaism must have got
ten from some one else. Jastrow
combatted this theory. He prov
ed that the history of Israel had
contributed nightly, and he
showed wherein it had made orr
ginal contribution to the culture
OF the world. He was a sympa-
thetic searcher, and his contri-
buttons will be missed.
He stood by himself in the
realm of Semitic scholarship
and for sometime at least, there
will be none to take his place, in
America. We have so few
friends among those who devote
themselves to these higher stud
les, that his death is a real sor-
row to Israel.
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-07-01

Of course neither Mr.. Rosen-
valid nor anyone else probably
thinks that the time will ever
come when we shall be able to do
away wholly with the giving of
aims. What he means-and his
thesis is an excellent one-is that
giving of money and food to so
many, when a loan to set them
up in business or until job is
found, would do much more
good.
1t is to be hoped that the many
who are engaged in the work of
helping the poor, will give an at
tentive ear to the thought of
Rosenwald. The great difficulty
is that it is easier to give a
"schnorrer" a few dollars and
send him off, than it is to estab-
lish him on a self-sustaining ba-
sis. Our charity workers are Of
ten saved by judgments that or
ten swayed by judgments that
are more kind than practical or
good for those towards whom
they are directed, and it is a tru-
ism that hundreds who have
come to our charity organiza-
tions for help, have had "schnor-
rers" made out of themselves
simply because instead of being
assisted to earn a living, they
have been taught to take aims.
The poor we will always have
but there is often a choice be-
tween keeping the poor depend
ent and degrading them into beg,
gars, and assisting them to make
themselves independent, and
honorable members of the com,
munity. We are glad that Mr..
Rosenwald spoke as he did-as "a
business man. Had a rabbi done
so, someone would have said that
the idea is an impossibility, born
in the mind of one who knows
nothing about practical life"
As long as a well-known and
successful business man said it,
it may be worthy of a trial.

former administration of the
American Zionist Organization,
voted down the policy of the adj
ministration and decided with a
majority vote to adopt the Keren
Hayesod plan of raising and dis
tributing funds for the rehabili-
tation of Palestine; the World
Zionist Organization prevailed
over Brandeis, Mack, Wise, De
Haas and their followers who
found themselves forced to re-

Whatever our opinion may

the slogan, Discipline" so fire.
quently reiterated and emphasiz-
ed by Justice Brandeis some time
ago, should also be our slogan,
and all should feel it their duty
to support and foster the Keren
Hayesod, adopted in regular ses-
sion by a majority vote of the
convention at Cleveland. Every
call that the newly elected COM

should heed; and to every ap-
peal that they make we must en-
Enthusiastically and devotedly re.
spond.
Above all, however, we must
not forget that this is not the
time to criticise or censure any
individual or group of individu-
ais. In the heat of battle, before
and during the convention, truth
was distorted and, as in the case
in all controversies, freedom of
speech gave way to looseness of
speech. There was too much de-
famation on the one hand, and
on the other, undue idolization.
Personalities were assailed that
should, and under ordinary cir
cumstances, would have been
applauded, and bitter feeling
was caused which should and
might have been avoided.
Now that the smoke of battle
is passing, We must return to
normally of thought and express
sion. We dare no longer draw
contrasts between ideals and
purse-strings"; we must stop
hurting the epithet "assimila-
tor at everyone who does not
agree fully with certain brand
of Zionism that we think is the
only genuine brand. Everyone
who is willing to work for Zion
is thereby Zionist, anyone who
wants to see Zion restored, and
helps restore it, according to the
ability and means at his or her
disposal deserves and should re-
ceive encouragement.
