FACTS"

Idiotic Henry Ford is at last
getting what is coming to him.
Nemesis is following him close
upon his heels. Almost stimuli
taneously with the appearance of
his sheet upon the streets of the
Twin Cities, that shrill journal
istic blast called Facts" also
makes it's appearance. 1t uses
the same sensational method that
idiotic Henry's sheet uses, with
this difference, however, that it
tells the truth about Ford and
nothing but the truth, while
idiotic Henry's hired liar only
lies and lies most grossly and
stupidity.
Facts" may now be bought at
different news stands in the Twin
Cities. We urge our readers to
invest ten cents in copy of it,
and to pass it on to friend or
neighbor, especially one who is
known to receive a copy of the
Dearborn Independent. Most of
the readers of idiotic Henry's
sheet also receive their copies
free.

VICTORY FOR CONGREGA-
TIONAL PROGRESSIVISM.

At well-attended meeting of
Congregation Temple Israel of
Minneapolis the other evening
the unassigned pew" system was
adopted by vote of IS to Is.

quite animated, but most Cordial
and friendly, and the best of feel
ing prevailed after the vote
had shown what the desire of the
great majority was.
This system of unassigned
pews for members is in line with
the most progressive thought
that now prevails in most liberal
Jewish congregations. It is en-
dorsed and recommended by the
Central Conference of American
Rabbis, and has in the last few
years been adopted, and is sue
cessfully operated by an ever
growing number of congrega-
tons, both large and small.
1t is the ideal democratic sys-
tenn. All are, and should be,
equal in the house of God. No
preference or advantage should
be given to any one either be-
cause of his more liberal contribu-
ton, or the period of his connec-
ton with the congregation. When
a member has once taken seat at
services he should not be dis
turbed and embarrassed by being
told that that particular seat be-
longs to some one else, and that
he must move to another seat, as
it often happens under the old
system of pew-ownership or as
signment
1t is the most practical system
especially for congregations that
have to resort to galleries or bal
comics for the seating of members
on occasions when the ground
floor is taxed to it's capacity, such
as the fall holy days. Seats in
the galleries being assigned to
those who can pay only the mini
mum amount of dues are thus
marked as the least desirable, and
as occupied by a poorer class of
membership, with the result that
few care to occupy them and be
classed that way. Under the
more modern system any mem
Der and his family will take seats
in the gallery when the ground
floor is already occupied to it's
full capacity, without feeling
sense of inferiority in rank.
Applied to the condition of
Temple Israel of Minneapolis it
means that at least fifty additional
families can now, under the new
system, be accommodated, where
as under the old system the
growth of the congregation would

remain a part of Germany rather
than be incorporated into the
Polish republic is no little reason
for us Jews to be grateful to God.
It dispels an ominous cloud of
apprehension from Our horizon.
The thought that that country
with it's goodly Jewish popula
ton might decide to join itself to
Poland was a source of consider
able worry to us.
Just now perhaps the Germans
are not any friendlier to their
Jewish fellow-citizens than are
the Poles. Anti-Semitism is a
native German product. Recent
ly in Berlin the hoodlum element
even staged a pogrom on the
Jews. And yet, the Germans, in
spite of certain Hun-like qualities
displayed by them during the
frenzy and fury of the war, are
after all a civilized people, and
as such have a certain respect for
law and order. In fact, the Ger
mans at one time were considered
the exemplary people of law and
order. So that in spite of the
present feeling of hostility and
unreasoned prejudice of a certain
element against the Jews, and the
desire to make them the scape
goat for it's own sins, the persecu-
ton to which the Jews of Poland
have recently been subjected is
utterly unthinkable in Germany,
or in any country under some
kind of German government.
Still greater is the probable
contrast between Poland and Ger
many when we look into the flu
ture. The better sense of the
Germans will some day reassert
itself. Germany, we believe, will
continue as democracy of the
most liberal type, with the govern
mental power resting largely with
the masses. We can cherish no
such hopes regarding Poland.
The ruling powers of Poland will,
we fear, for long time to come
be the landed aristocracy and the
church, both additionally hostile
to the Jews. And unless the Jews
are willing completely to efface
themselves, racially and religious
ly, we fear their fate in Poland
will for some time to come be an
unenviable one. From such a
fate, thank God, the Jews of Up
per Silesia have for the time being

Japan Sees Need of Change.

In consequence of the ever-increas-
ing magnitude of Japan's economic re-
lationship with foreign nations it has
been found that the Japanese system
of weights and measures, which is a
relic of the feudal regime, gives rise
to considerable difficulty and incon-
Nenience in trade because of its total
difference from any accepted system
of the world measurements Accord
ingly, the question of radical reforma-
ton of the existing system has long
been considered. Ii is now reported
that after a careful consideration of
the subject by a commission, which
was established in the department of
agriculture and commerce for that pur-
pose, the authorities concerned have
reached a decision that the French
metric system should be universally
adopted.-East and West News.

were busy making wreaths and neck

palm fronds, the soft fall of feet in

murmur of ilower-crowned men and
women on their way to the dance.
came the voice of the surf on the outer
reef.
A chant and a clapping arose from
30 to 40 persons, men and women-not
one Standing-who sat cross legged on
the coral, writes Andrew Farrell in
Asia Magazine. Members of the bal
let, four and five deep, made three
sides of a rectangle; on the open side
were the spectators. All of the men,
and some of the women, were nude to
the waist. Necklaces of white coco
nut leaf, long and many-pointed, hung
down upon the breasts; greeneries
were twisted in the pierced lobes of
90 rc ,.sh;
nut and chaplets of flowers cleaned
their white eyebaIls and whittier teeth
In the forefront of the ballet sat
woman-a Micronesian AphrOdite-
covered from her waist down with
fine dancing mat. She was the princi-
pal, and only she and two men did
not beat hand against hand and
against breast. One of theSe--a great.
bearded, Arablike fellow-was the
leader Of the chorus. He gave calls,
accompanied by a sweep of the raised
arm. At the second or third call the
second man, broad-bOdied Bacchus,
opened the song in a tenor, and the
others joined, chanting and beating,
the Women's voices high and nasal, the
mems round and full. The chants were
altogether monotonous repetitions of
few words. Coconut-oiIed bodies
cleaned under the fire. Hands, feet,
arms and trunks of the three princi-
pals kept exquisite time to the beat,

filled with the tumut, my eyelids were
heavy with drowsiness. l sat in a hyp-

back of the wearied singers-and
again the leader gave the call and the
sweep of the appraised arm.

The American Characteristic

On the eve of Marshal Joffre's de-
parture from the United States, which
he visited in 1917, says an English
writer, a reporter asked him to tell
what American characteristic had
most impressed him
"Well, since you have put it that
way replied the marshal, 81 have
been chiefly impressed by your blunt
outspOkenness, and, if l may venture
to say so, by your lack of respect for
your superiors."
"Our superiors" exclaimed the re-
porter. "But we haven't any,
And" remarked Joffre, in telling
the story, after having made the ac-
quaintance of their wonderful country
and of its still more wonderful inhao-
itants, | have come to the conclusion
that what the reporter said was about
