| that prevails.
Russia always was document mad.
and 1t seems even worse now than II
was under former regimes. Endless
rows Of employees are busy making
documents and reports in nearly every
government building. Statistlclans
are at work everywhere.
Bolshevist officials are not blind to
the overstaffing Of the departments
and the inefficiency of many of the
workers. They fill the Moscow and
provincial papers with appeals for
greater diligence on the part of en-
ployes and a reduction of forces not
engaged in productive labor. They
also complain bitterly of the red tape
which slows down all government
business and clamor for simplification
and decentralization.
But, after all, the railways and
telegraphs and telephones and posts
are in much the same hands they were
before Bolshevism triumphed. The
men who knew the technic Of the va
rious public service organizations had
to be recalled very largely. Many Of
them make no pretension that they
are Communists or even Socialists
and their work is done in an extreme
ly perfunctory manner.
Three years have brought about a
remarkable change in the attitude Of
Red army men and all government en-
ployes toward the general public
There is a great modification Of the
acerbity which characterized the
early days of the Bolshevist control.
In the frenzied first year of Bolshe-
vism, officials seemed to regard every
one who approached them as an enemy.
They growled and harangued. From
irritable and generally unpleasant to
deal with.
This spirit has disappeared, to a
very large degree. The success of the
government in overthrowing its adver-
saries has given a feeling Of security
and it now functions much as other
governments do Guards, messengers.
bureau chiefs and higher officials are
more cordial. Bolshevist legations
abroad also reflect this changed attt-
tude to marked degree.
White collars are no longer banned.
Black leather coats are not regarded
as the only suitable uniform for a
Bolshevist official. Experienced minor
officials Of the old regime have been
restored to their places in many Of the
offices and their example has greatly
modified the brusque manners Of the
soldier, sailor and workman element
which originally monopolized most Of
the government posts.

them to attend Jewish worship

Professor Werner Sombart, the
noted economist, declares that the
first business advertisements
printed in newspaper came from
Jews. Such an advertisement
first appeared in the "Vossische
Zeltung" of Berlin on May 18th,
III, and it stated that a Jewish
merchant from Holland has ar
rived in Berlin and stays in the
Jewish Street at Bolzen's where
he sells all sorts of tea at cheap
prices. Those who desire to buy
should come quickly as the mer-
chant intends to stay but eight
days. The name of the merchant
is not given.
The first advertisement in
America was published in The
New York Mercury, on August
18th, 1851, by a Jew, Hyman
Levy, and reads as follows: "For
sale at Hyman Levy's, Broad
Street, all sorts of military effects.
Best English army shoes and all
that is needed for a successful
war;"

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

of the country have voiced their
thoughts and sentiments on the
subject in unmistakable terms.
What may the reason for it be?
Surely, editors and journalists in
general know how preposterously
and knavishly false the accusa-
tons of Ford and other Jew-hat-
ers against Jews are. Of all peo-
pie, newspapermen have the best
opportunity to learn the truth
that every race, every sect, every
nationality has it's good, bad, and
Indifferent members; that all
sweeping generalizations about,
and condemnations of, race or
any other human group are utter
ly false, and unworthy of sensi-
bic people. They, if anybody,
know the Jews, at least the lead
ing Jews of their community and
of the country, the Jews who are
in the public eye, the Jews who
are conspicuous in industry and
commerce, in communal work
and patriotic service. They more
than others come in contact with
Jews as their readers and adver-
Users.
They as molders of public opin-
ion ought to know how PERM
cious, how unpatriotic, how dis
turbing of American peace and
progress, how descriptive of
American ideals such anti-race
propaganda is. They, if anybody,
ought to know that by this vi
clous propaganda Ford writes
himself down as the worst disloy-
alist, the worst enemy that the
United States has ever had.
And still our Minneapolis edi
tors, unlike most other editors of
the country, have not had a word
to say about it. Strange, is it
not? We wonder why?
