The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-05-13
Friday, May 10, 1921.

Thus in Israel do we truly find
the "vicarious atonement."
The superior and sensitive Jew Of
today, instead of suffering for the
"sins OF the fathers" of departed
generations, suffers for the sins of
his brothers Of the present genera>
ton. He is not so much prone to
condone these sins rs to deny their
existence; and in this denial lies his
own fault in the case.
Much Of present prejudice against
the Jew is traditional. Many nom
Jews can give no reason for their
dislike Of the Jew other than that
his nose is differently shaped! How
philosophic is race prejudice that de-
ponds upon fact Of physiognomy!
The Jew is hated because he re-
mains spiritually unconquered; strip
ped Of all but his unbending pride,
stubbornly still he bows to none ex-
cept God.
Jewish prejudice, however, is basic
ally economic; all its other dependen-
cies are merely contributory and in
cidental, else are effects instead Of
causes.
The sovereign truth that in all the
affairs Of life all men are actuated
fundamentally by the economic mo-
tive, fails Of universal recognition
because Of the confusing fact that
many other and lesser motives cross
the greater or blend with it. Permit
me to resort to smile in order to
make clearer my meaning:
The general motive of a river is
from its source to its mouth. The
bulk Of all floatable material cast in
to its channel is carried down.

There is always a but-an except

which does prove itself. You drop a

1t responds TO the fundamental flow,
but soon II may be caught in a cross
current that propels it to Judgment
on the opposite bank. Just so are
there countless cross-currents in hu-
man life that modify, color, and tenn
porarily suspend the greater and
more continuous economic impulsion.
In Analysing this problem, there
fore, we should take into account
these little cross-currents that make
our existence the complex thing II
is. For example, there is the sex
urge, which at mating mood drives
man entirely away from his econom-
ic interest. Then there are the var
ious ideals that grip the votaries Of
propaganda, pulling them this way
and that. And the whole combination
and complication is further modified
by the individuals own intelligence
or lack thereof. For a proper under
standing Of this proposition we must
embrace in its consideration the
force Of ideals, preconceived opin-
ions, and many other minor influen-
ces that always are tainting or tint
ing both the strong surface drift and
the mighty undertow Of economic
push and pull.
So, despite the number and nature
Of these Incidental influences, am
on the solid rock Of irrefragable &C.

capacity. The common council Of
New York City decreed that the
Jews should not be privileged to in
dulge their form of worship. This
soon was seen to be tactiful error,
however, as it was to the economic
advantage of their Gentle competit-
ors for the Jews to observe their re-
ligious forms by closing their pla-
ces Of business Saturdays. So this
restriction was repealed in the libel
ed name Of Liberty Of Conscience.
Here we see the reason for Chris
tians discarding the original Sabbath
and adopting Sunday as their holy
day Of rest. Despite the lure Of trade
devotion to the decalogue would
cause orthodox Jews to suspend
commerce on Saturdays, when their
custom would 20 to Christian marts;
while the Gentiles, by virtue Of their
numerical supremacy, could compel
Sunday closing by Jews.
The learned professions also were
legally closed to Jews when they out
classed Gentiles therein. In this
country at this time they are not
barred from the higher vacations by
statutory law, but they are exclud-
ed to a considerable extent by the
law Of prejudice. By constitutional
right the Jew is eligible to high pub
lie office equally with the Gentle,
yet we know how impossible it would
be for a Jew to be elected president
Of the nation. Would he be defeated
because Of religious prejudice? Not
at all! Deism Of the members of
other races does not disqualify them
for this office. Taft, Unitarian,
was elected chief executive without
the question Of his religious affilia-
ton being raised. The Jew is ineli-
gible solely because he is a Jew. II
is difficult even for Jew to acquire
n seat in Congress,( however excell-
ent his qualifications; and so far as
! know only one state has had a
Jewish governor. We all can remem-
Der the bitter resistance to confrma-
ton Of the appointment of Louis ID.
Brandeis to the United States Su-
preme Court, although his mental
equipment and legal attachments
qualify him above all cher members
for a place in that august assem-
blage.
The simple fact Of the Jews ra-
eial affiliation disqualifies him in
Gentle eyes for any public prefer
ment that a Gentle may covet. 1t
is the Jews misfortune that he has
the habit Of making good" to a
conspicuous degree. Successful COM
petition in the public service is not
less difficult than in business pur-
suits. The Jews administrative abil-
ity, II allowed exercise, is as much
menance TO the economic inter-
ests Of aspiring Gentiles as is his
commercial capacity. Therefore is he
restrained.
II being a known truth that sever
al races equal and scmc exceed the
Jews in commercial genius, why is
there special economic discrimina-
ton against the latterl The answer
is, their solidarity. They are more
than a race-they are a family. This
solidarity-the strength Of the pack
gives them an immense economic
advantage, and a success quite dis

THEODORE CHR1sTIANsoN AND SOME OTHER
FOLKS,

We all quite excited about month ago because
understood it, the appropriations committee of the
House, of which Theodore Chrstianson chairman,
going wreck the educational system of the state
junk the university and strange the lamp of learning
by sweeping blow, something equally horrible.
The powers that be in the educational world shreked

himself good citizen called upon forthwith to
write talk telegraph, resolute and raise great din in

And all fell for it-and after it and
found the facts felt very foolish.
AS matter of fact found that the university
being adequately provided for and that the cutlery raised
by high in the educational administration Of
the state about state aid for high schools agrantly
misleading, and an abuse of executive discretion.
If there had been time, the legislature might well have
started inquiry to why local school authorities
lead to entertain fears which groundess regarding
what going to be done to state aid for high schools
And also, why the position of Chairman Chris
Hanson fragrantly misrepresented?
AS matter of fact, the appropriations for educa-
tional purposes were increased $2,8OO,OOO.
But Mr.. Chrstianson and the committee evidently
had ideas education that do not align with the
ideas entertained by the that be educatonaly
and perhaps that furnishes hint to the wherefne
