PETER sCHWEITZER

The lamentable death of Peter
Schweitzer, Chairman of the Keren
Hayesod Bureau Of America, at the
age of forty eight, has caused pro-
found regret not only in Zionist but
in wider Jewish circles. Schweitzer
was an interesting type Of the practi-
cal idealist. A man of culture and
of deep Jewish consciousness, he
dreamed his ideals while amassing his
fortune, and supported his ideals
when his fortune was made.
It is said that since 1917, Schweit-
zer contributed 100000 to various
Zionist funds, being the largest indi-
vidual contributor in the world to the
cause of Zionism. Even in his bene-
factions, Schweitzer was different
from the average rich man who con-
tributes his money freely. Not only
were his donations relatively large
but he was not content merely with
charitable endeavor. His all-consum-
ing ambition was to give construc-
lively, fastening the development of
Palestine, and the safeguarding of the
Jewish future. If Peter Schweitzer's
whole-hearted devotion to Jewish cul-
ture and to Zionism will serve as in
spiration to other Jewish men of af-
fairs, his service to the Jew will prove
much greater than if gagged merely
by the measure of his giving.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH World

Of Jewish learning in America, quite
irrespective of their theological
"anschauung."
But to us there is something more
interesting involved than the mere
erection Of two additional buildings.
It is that the sum of $250,000 for the
Dormitory was raised exclusively by
the women of the Federation Of Tenn
pie Sisterhoods. Which proves that
money for Jewish educational insti-
tutions is available and.can be gotten,
and that the women of Israel are the
most active and most successful in
financing Jewish institutional life.
More strength to the Jewish woman,
and may her loyalty to her faith
never grow less.

THE H. u. C.. DORMITORY
BUILDING

Thursday, December 7th witnessed
the formal breaking of ground for
the Dormitory building and the Frei-
berg Memorial gymnasium at the
Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati.
These buildings, when completed, will
afford the future leaders of Reform
Judaism in America the comfort and
convenience during their rabbinical
studies which they have needed and
longed for. This in itself should be
a source of qualification to all friends

HONORING WARBURG

The Joint Distribution Committee
is planning to honor it's indefatigable
head, Mr.. Felix M. Warburg, by
banquet to commemorate the compile
tion of eight years of fund-raising
for the Jewish war sufferers. During
that time $5O,OOO,OOO has been Sc
cured in America for the Jews in
war-torn Europe. It is doubtful
The American Jewish world., 1922-12-08

whether, throughout the long and
glorious annals Of Jewish benevolence,
the Jewry of any land ever had a
record equal to that of American
Israel. Confronted as we are by evil
dences, from many quarters, Of the
weakening hold of Judaism upon the
Jew, this evidence of the responsive
ness to the call Of "Our Own" is most
encouraging.
The Community Fund Campaign
Committee, in order to make up the
two hundred fifty thousand dollars the
Fund is short of the budget planned,
has appealed to all automobile own
ers to send an additional Five Dol
lars each. Not being an automobile
owner we must speak effectively, but
if the maintenance and upkeep Of a
car are as expensive as is claimed,
an additional Five Dollars should not
bankrupt the autoist. And besides
the Community Fund needs the money,
and needs it bad. So we hope our
auto-owning friends will give the Five
and let their windshield prove that

Random Thoughts
BY CHAS. JOSEPH

against the Jew here we find most
important group Of the citizenship of
the nation urging Mr.. Baruch to lead
them in the next Presidential cam
paign. There can be no question Of
Mr.. Baruch's fitness and capacity for
any office within the gift of the peo-
pie. He has shown himself to be one
of the very few men who occupied
prominent part in governmental affairs
throughout the war who came through
with flying colors. He once wrote
me that he is no longer engaged in
any "gainful pursuit" He is not in
terested in making any more money
But he is devoting all his time to the
service of the nation.
I think this statement of Nicholas
Murray Butler, President of Columbia
University, made recently at the In
stitutional Synagogue in New York, as
reported by the Jewish Tribune
should be given the widest publicity:
"The war let loose in this world
new hates The world is filled
with hate; hates of nation against
nation; hates Of race against
race; hates of class against class;
hates of faith against faith; hates
of man against man. We shall not
have won this war until we put
these hates out Of our hearts.
Think of condition in 1922 when
this Republic has been in existence
for almost one hundred and fifty
years, with it's guarantee of civil,
political and religious liberty;
think Of a scene in which tens
of thousands of men are banding
themselves together to wage
war of hate upon the Hebrews,
upon the Catholics, upon any
faith or religion which is at vari-
ance with theirs. There could be
nothing more false to the teach
ings of Abraham Lincoln; there
could be nothing more false to
the principles on which this ma
tion is built"
Well, well, we'll. We are surely ap-
preaching the millennium. At Middle
town, N. Y, Jews and Gentiles held
a Thanksgiving service, which was ad-
dressed by a Rabbi, Congregational
minister and a Negro clergyman. This
is the first time in our knowledge
that religious service has been held
in which white and colored people
have joined in worship.

Another guest was well known ac-

is the common sense viewpoint. NOW
you can multiply this little table
group of ours by every other table
group in this dining room and you
will find the same common sense view
point. And so you can go throughout
the nation and you will find this same
sentiment found among the large ma.
jority of all people because it is the
common sense viewpoint" He said
it can't live because it is contrary
to the spirit of the nations common
sense. More and more antagonism
has been aroused to it and like all
it will disappear. would suggest
that the national Jewish Order of the
Birth Sholom, or is it Birth Abraham,
do not make an organized attack on
the Klan. AS individuals think it
proper that they enlist with all other
good Americans to rid the country Of
a menace.
A few weeks ago I propounded the
question:: "When Is Jew Not Jew?"
Bearing upon the same question, /
reproduce this concerning the late
Baron Sonnino, the great Italian
statesman who was included by the
Jews of the world as one of their
number. Was he Jew? Could we
claim him as Jew? Did the Protest
ant world have right to challenge
our claim? Read this and decide for
yourself: a#
"Sonnino was Jew by race, a
Protestant by faith and native
of Egypt; he was born of an Ital-
ian-Jewish father and a Scotch
mother on the banks of the Nile.
Sonnino's grandfather migrated
from the Ghetto of Leghorn,
Italy"
Is it any wonder that sometimes the
Jewish press has difficulty in identify
ing their own?
passed a newsboy on the street the
other day who was selling "Hearst's
International Monthly" I remarked
that the Life of Henry Ford was be-
ing written up in that magazine and
asked him if that were increasing
the sales of the magazine. He re-
piled: NAV, the people are fed up
with that guy Ford talking about him
SELF" I think that covers the whole
case completely. "That guy Ford"
certainly hates to see his name in
print. 1t is now in order for the imam

dency; reforming our currency system.
am serious. Why shouldn't he? He
produces as good, if not a better car,
than the Ford and it's low priced and
he sells lots of them; in fact,
wouldn't be surprised if some day we
won't see the Chevrolet nosing out the
Ford. Whoever the man behind the
corporation is he has just as much
right to appeal to the American pub
lie for consideration for his plans and
schemes as has Ford, who after all,
is said has done absolutely nothing
but produce a cheap automobile at
a low price.

garding organized Jewish opposition
to the Ku Klux Klan supported by
former Ambassador to Germany James
w. Gerard. In an address delivered
on Thanksgiving before a Jewish con-
gregation in New York, he said:
"I think it would be mistake
for Jews to wage war against the
Ku Klux Klan. It would simply (.
increase the very racial and re-
ligious antipathies which the Klan
seeks to stir up. It is for us to
attend to the Klansmen and we
shall do it. Leave them to u.s."

At last we are getting the right slant
on this whole college situation in the
United States. Geneva College had
miserable season in football, which is
one of the outstanding departments of
every well regulated institution Of
learning. AS a result of this football
fiasco the President of the College,
the Professor of Mathematics and one
or two other members of the faculty
keenly appreciating how lamentably
they have failed in their duties to-
ward the students, resigned. We
surely sympathize with these heart
broken members of the faculty. It
must be terrible blot on college
to have poor football team. I trust
this disgrace which has befallen Cen
eva College and which has resulted
so disastrously to the faculty will be
wiped out next season. Now can
begin to understand why limit is
placed on Jewish students in some of
the Universities-the MORE JEWISH
STUDENTS that are admitted the less
room there is for FOOTBALL MA
TERIAL.
Rear Admiral Benson, a Roman
Catholic, is the object of an organized
campaign to oust him because of con-
troversy which has arisen between him
and the Anchor Club of Washington,
whose membership is limited to GER
tain Masons. Circulars have been is
sued accusing him of an attempt to
Romanize the army and navy and that
he is the agent Of the Pope and SO
forth and so on. 1t seems to me it's
just about time that halt be called
on these religious and racial fights
that are menace to the nation. I
know nothing of the merits of the case,
but I venture to say that Rear Ad-
miral Benson is a hundred per cent
American and he should not be sub
jected to such an unworthy attack.

 A meeting of the committee is to be held at the courthouse next Tuesday evening, at which all candidates of the party are requested to assemble. Matters connected with the campaign in this county are to be discussed and party measures mapped out. Reports were received from all parts of the state, which indicate to the commit teemen that this is democratic year.
