Diseraceful Fight
at Local Dance
Cutting acrape Results With -Four
ARRESTS. 6eigler May Face
District Court

A disgraceful mixup, with toe
much moonshine as the prime factor
resulted In the arrest OF four men
following the dance given in the
Sheckler district a week ago Satur-
day night.
From the evidence given at the
trial held before Justice of the Peace
Jones, In which the Jury failed to
agree, II seems that the fight start
ed with an attack on the two JOS
eph brothers, one who was pretty
badly beaten up. Sheriff-elect j. B.
Crane, who was nearby, was called
in to guell the disturbance and af-
ter starting one of the Joseph boys
on his way home was pounced upon
In turn, resulting in being knitted
and generally mauled by the men
who were arrested.
Harry Allen, Hugh Mulvaney, and
John Yarbrough were arrested on a
charge of disturbing the peace, while
Harry Sigler was plac|1 under arrest
on charge with intent to kill. This
charge was filed by Mr.. Crane, who
sustained number of gashes and
slashes evidently from a knife. Fol-
lowing the preliminary hearing Sig
ler was released on $1,000 bonds.
The others were released on $500
bail.
From evidence at the trial of the
three on the minor charge 1t was
shown that the men we're intoxicat-
ed. used bad language and generally
disturbed the peace of the others at
the dance. Their arrest was on
complaint of J. H. Theyer. president
of the farm bureau, who managed
the dance.
At the trial of men held on dis
turbing the peace the jury failed to
reach a verdict, it being stated that
they stood 10 to 2 for conviction.
6igler Case Pending
A preliminary hearing In the case
of Harry Sigler, charged with as
sault with intent to kill, was held
at the court house before Judge
Jones Monday morning District
Attorney Kenny conducted the hear
ing for the county while the defend
ant was represented by Attorney A.
L. Haight.
The complaint against Sigler was
aworn To by J. q. Crane, who claims
that Sigler Is the man who welded
the knife that inflicted his personal
wounds during the general fight at
the Sheckler district.
Witnesses called at the prelimi-
nary were Ben Plum, ]. 8. Theyer,
HALEY Jones, Otto Machin and
Frank Vervort. The testimony pre-
sented was to the effect that Sigler's
conduct at the dance had not been
offensive until he interferred with
Crane. who was attempting to put
two of the other young men out Of
the hall, who had been raising dis
turbance. Crane then attempted to
eject Sigler and in the general fight
that ensued Craine was cut In the
back and abdomen. Witnesses tes-
tilted that Crane used only his fits
in defense.
At the close of the hearing wit
nesses were notified to appear at the
court house Wednesday afternoon
and affix their signature to the tran
scribed testimony. Mrs. A. &. Will
son acted as court stenographer.
Justice Jones will review the tes-
timony as soon as Transcribed when
he will determine whether he will
bind Sigler over for trial before the
district court.

task singlehanded and with but small
means. At first it was but a hope
and drean1-a passionate hope and
vivid dream, to be sure, yet merely
hope and dream. But Chasano-
.wltz bent every effort and exerted
every energy upon it's accomplish
ment. Every cent he could save,
every spare moment he had was de-
voted to the national library. He
bought books and begged for books,
he spent all he possessed and ap-
pealed to his people for aid in his
noble undertaking. The process was
slow and the work insecure. Yet the
ardent lover of his people and his
peoples books was not disheartened.
Work by work, volume by volume
did he collect and send to Jerusalem.
The interest and support of the Jew
ish public seemed tagging, yet with
the slow and reluctant aid of other
idealists, he was able to gather to-
gether thousands of volumes which
are today the just pride of thinking
and knowing Jews the world over.
To those who were familiar with
the life and labors of DR.. Chasano-
witz the sad news of his death came
as a great and sudden shock. They
rightly felt that three score and ten
years were but too short and mar
row span of life for man who had
such gigantic task to accomplish.
But they also felt that he had left
an indestructible and invaluable leg
acy, for his example, now that he
was gone, could not but arouse emu
lation on the part of others.
AS the regeneration and rejuvena-
ton of the Jew will continue to go
apace, and our intellectual and spirit
ual treasures will receive ever great
er and truer appreciation, the men,
ory of Chasanowitz will be deeply
and devoutly cherished as that of an
ardent lover of books and a passion
ate lover of his people.

that quality so rare in public address

that quality so rare in public address
es Cd common sense.
A similar treat was the address of
the poet Philip M. Raskin who for
tunately came to the city in time to
be heard at the mass meeting. His
word portrait of Herzl, whom he had
been privileged to see at several of
the Zionist congresses, his plea for
Jewish ideals and Jewish conscious
ness, his analysis of the effects of the
Golus, his description of what could
be and is being done in Palestine by
Jewish genius and muscle, proved him
to be poetic man of affairs and
practical dreamer.
Yes, even so regular and annual an
occurrence as a Herzl Memorial
Meeting can be rich in inspiration
and filled with stimulation for the
tired, jaded Jewish business man. It
might be well for our easy-going,
complacent Zionists to bear this in
mind, and be less prone to honor
Jewish gatherings by their absence.

THE HERZL MEMORIAL
MEETING

Eighteen years have passed since
the immortal Herzl succumbed to the
attempt to create, almost single
handed, "The Jewish State" So
much has been said and written about
Herzl, his service to the Jewish peo-
pie, the tragedy of his early death,
the need for his counsel at this time,
the beginning of the fulfllment of
his dreams, the happiness that would
have been his could he witness how
far Zionism has progressed, all this
has been so often rehearsed, and so
well, that to mention it is really in
the spirit of 'lest we forget" Every
body knows it, so why mention it?
Yet it is possible that this
equanimity may explain the poor at
tendance at the Herzl Memorial
Meetings, which has become almost
proverbial. Audiences, or rather
those who should constitute audiences,
may have come to feel that it is an
old story, and they spend the evening
of the memorial meeting otherwise.
Yet even such self-satisfied individu-
ais are sometimes mistaken, and by
their non-attendance miss real inspi-
rational messages. Such was the
fact with the local Herzl memorial
meeting on Tuesday. In addition to
the other addresses there were two
that would have made any meeting
worth while-those of Rev. David Sill
berstein, affectionately called "Reb
Dovidil," and the poet Philip M. Ras-
kin.
Rev. Silberstein's address came as
distinct surprise. Having recently
returned from Palestine he spoke
feelingly of conditions there, and in
his own forceful manner showed what
a bane of Jewish existence Jewish
strife and division were. He fayed
the local subdivision into Mizrachi,
Poalei Zion and "Alegemeine" Zion
lists, and pleaded for united front
and united effort, and recommended
that the local community build in
Palestine at least one group of dwell
ings, to help solve the housing prob
lens. But in general the address was
replete with wisdom, learning and

e DI TORIAL
AN UNSELFIsH BOOKLOyER,

There are persons who collect books
and who love books as a fad. There
are people who love books for the
aesthetic satisfaction a large collec-
tion of books affords them. In both
instances the love of books is of a
selfish nature-a hobby in the one and
a selfish qualification in the other. The
collection of books by such book
lovers is not a means but an end.
Even when one collects books in ord
er to increase ones knowledge and
information, thus making of the col
lection means of learning, the love
of books is not selfish one. Recent
ly great booklover died, in Bialy-
stok, Russia, whose love for books
was utterly unselfsh. He was des-
titute at the time of his death. He
had impoverished himself through his
purchases of books. The name Of
this man was Joseph Chasanowitz.
He was scholar and an indefatig-
able communal worker. He was a
physician by profession and his prac-
tice was large, but his income was
small, as he always rendered his SER
vices to the poor gratuitously, and
there are plenty of poor in Bialystok
to keep generous and efficient physi-
clan busy. But neither his busy oc-
cupation nor his scant means pre-
vented DR.. Chasanowitz from form
ing love for books, which was ard
ent and passionate, and which sprang
solely and wholly from his deep love
for his people. He conceived the idea
OF founding a library at Jerusalem
which should comprise a complete
collection of all works on Jewish
learning and literature and, without
stopping to consider the enormous
ness of his task nor the obstacles
in his path, he labored day and night
up to his seventy-frs year, when
he died, to make the national library
at Jerusalem the treasure-house of
Jewish thought and Jewish lore.
What such an undertaking on the
part of an individual means is not
easily understood. To collect all the
works of the vast and rich Jewish
literature is task that would tax
the largest and richest organization.
Yet DR.. Chasanowitz, with the charac-
teristic confidence and hopefulness
OF the true idealist, undertook this
The American Jewish world., 1922-07-21
PHILIP M. RASKIN

Every Jew is supposed to be more
or less of linguist, and surely
poet should be a linguist. Yet Philip
M. Raskin enjoys the none too usual
distinction, even for a poet, of writ
ing equally well in more than one
language. Though his mother tongues
are Yiddish and Hebrew, he has writ
ten some of his most powerful verse
in English. Several volumes of his
poems are already widely circulated
and well known. And as the burden
Of his muse is the Jewish rebirth, he
is doing yeoman service in the realm
of the practical, not only singing of
the Jewish renaissance, but working
for it in the prosaic terms of raising
sums for the Keren Hayesod.
Locally Mr.. Raskin is not attempt
ing to raise new funds, but rather to
stimulate payment on pledges already
made. Poet though he is, he cannot
imagine that Palestine can be built
up on pledges, especially on unpaid
pledges.
The northwest has been generous
in it's response to the Keren Hayesod.
Much has already been paid in cash.
But the Palestine budget was made
on the basis of the total pledged, and
obligations have been incurred and
expenditures made.
Raskin's admirers in the Twin
Cities can do much to show their ad-
miration for the poet and their love
for Palestine by responding heartily
to his appeal that the pledges be
turned into cash. Shall we do less
than that?

THE ZIONIST SITUATION

The past fortnight has been crowd
ed with Zionist events, some of them
of far-reaching Importance. The one
that will probably attract the great
est attention is the issuance by the
British government of a White Paper
wherein it interprets the Balfour
Declaration. The gist of this paper
is contained in London dispatch to
the New York World under date of
July 2. According to this dispatch
The government holds that Pal
estine cannot be distinctly a Jew
ish state, although Jews may re-
main or go into the country as
of right and not of sufferance.
Assuming that this is a fair state
ment of the position now taken by the
British government, we see no ground
here for pessimism. AS long as Jews
may settle in Palestine as of right,
we need not worry. After all, the
most friendly Interpretation of the
Balfour Declaration will not make
Palestine the Jewish Homeland unless
and until the Jews form majority
of it's population.
Furthermore, the depressing effect
this may have upon the over-en-
ciuoAooUAS o1io1iS Oo, ID 1SCI ny GIl0
other encouraging events. In the first
place, the House of Commons has en-
dorsed by an overwhelming majority
the Palestine mandate and in particu-
lar the Gutenberg concession-and it
is the Commons and not the heredi-
tary House of Lords who determine
the policy of the British government.
In the second place, our own House
of Representatives, following similar
action by the Senate, has unanimous
ly adopted the Zion resolution. Again,
the Central Conference of American
Rabbis, hitherto the Gibraltar of
Anti-Zionism in America, has voted
to support the activities of the Pales-
tine Development Council (the Bran
deis-Mack organization) in helping to
restore the land of our fathers.
Finally, steps are being taken to heal
the breach in the ranks of American
Zionists.
We repeat, there is no ground for
pessimism. Only one thing can fus-
trate the age-long hope of our people,
and that is Jewish indifference and
disunion at time when our national
existence is at stake.-Jewish Ex
ponent.
The American Jewish world., 1922-07-21

In an interview with a visiting
Viennese Jewish playwright, that
appears in another column of this is
sue, is the statement that even the
anti-Semite respects the Jew who is
proud of his Jewish origin, and has
naught but contempt for the Jew who
is self-denying and self-effacing. That
is well-known sentiment, yet we are
pleased to see it confirmed by the ex-
periences of Mr.. Egon Brecher, and
it is fact that we would commend
to the attention of Jews closer home,
who think they can gain Gentle favor
by slurring over their Jewishness.
We sincerely hope that the st. Paul
organization that is planning a card
party, with public park as it's de-
lightful background, will change it's
mind, and plans. Whatever the vir-
tues (D of card playing, public park
is hardly the most ideal setting to
demonstrate to the non-Jew how fond
we are or how adept we are with
cards. It may be an old saw, but it
is true one, that "I Deal" "i Deal"
though popular with some Jews, is
not the best of Jewish Ideals, and
certainly should not be put forth pub
licly, and surely not in city park.

surely cannot be many more Difficult
ties in the path Of the mandate! And
if Jewry has been able to endure so
many centuries of doubt and waiting,
then another month or two should not
prove fatal. Which, of course, need
not induce the Council of the League
to add unnecessary delay in ratifying.

We regret that the Western State
Bank situation bids fair to degener-
ate into a contest in the writing of
recriminatory circulars by some of
the officers. We doubt if such a
course will help the depositors at all.
There has been enough bad blood
caused already, and the only notes
that should be exchanged now are those
that will lead to the reopening of the
bank. Whoever of the officers are
right or whoever are wrong, surely
the depositors are right, and it is
their rights that should be given first
consideration.
