when he does go, or desecrates the
Sabbath with steel and flint. Till our
savage impulses manage to convince
the censor in us and others that moth
ing but immediate and ignomlnlous
destruction of him is sure to halt the
wrath of heaven from descending
upon world so wicked as to give
birth and harbor such brigand. The
chin whiskers and patrician togass
usually appear cut to the measure OF
patriotism, love for country, fight for
democracy, war to end all war, or a
fight for good.
Again, the many-form restraints
imposed by civilization become very
irksome at times. We are now and
then seized by an impulse to yank
off our starched collars, dash out into
the street, and leap, hop, grin and
make faces, shout and bleat, and
grab somebody by the whiskers and
lead him a merry dance around the
block-as if we had never read Mrs:
Highstyle on how a gentleman should
behave. Of course, the censor is
right there on the spot with a con-
temptible sneer: "What will the
neighbors say ?" and we are cowed for
the nonce. But our impulse soon gets
busy and invents something that
would pass the censor-a wild party,
a moonlight dance in pajamas, or a
halter around the neck of college
freshman; and "the spirit of youth"
is "allowed to effervesce." And we
have our "fing" in full view of the
censor.

Wanderer," which had phenomenal
sale, and translations from it have
been made into several languages,
and the poems widely quoted. In
1920, third volume Of Mr.. Raskin's.
poems, "Songs and Dreams," was
published in addition to two volumes
of poems in Yiddish. He also trans
lated g. volume of essays from the
Hebrew and Yiddish of Shmarya
Levin under the title Of "Out of
Bondage," and contributed articles in
several languages to numerous peri
odicals. He was editor of 'The Amer
ican Jewish News"
Mr.. Raskin has been identified with
the Zionist Movement practically since
his boyhood, being delegate to most of
the Zionist Congresses. He has trav-
eled extensively on behalf of the
Zionist Organization and was very
successful in raising large funds for
various Palestinian undertakings. He
recently visited Palestine and his OBJ
servations are to appear in a volume
"Palestine AS I Saw It," which is to
be published shortly. Several of the
essays in the book appeared in ad-
vance in the New York Evening Post.

entitled "When a Soul Sings" is in

stances favorable, he or she finds
ways to sublimate the impulses. into

the type of character that under no
circumstances brooks the distortion OF

The tough-minded, on the other
hand, rarely suffer much sublima--

as another. They are no more dis
turbed by misplaced or displaced af-
fection than by missing the street
car. There is always another one
coming. They do not supply the
genius of the world. Nor do they fill
the insane asylums. They do, how
ever, often fill the prisons.
Naturalization
The impulses, under any clrcum-
stances, do not take defeat without
terrific struggle. Be the censor
never so clever, they manage to out
wit him quite often. When our cave
impulses want to come out into the
open, they usually don patrician togas
and chin whiskers before doing so.
If we want to take away a particu-
larly rich territory or lucrative mar
ket from our neighbor, we do not COM
nit the blunder of coming out with
it in the open. The censor in our
selves and in others would make short
work Of such unhallowed desires. So

ANOTHER BLOOD LIBEL IN
POLAND

Carlsbad q. T. A)-The discovery
of the body of a young Christian girl
in Polna, near here, has given rise
in credulous circles to another blood
libel. The Jews are accused of hav-
ing committed the murder for alleged
"ritual purposes"
The body was unclothed and in
vestigation is said to have disclosed
that there was much loss of blood.
Vehemently repudiating the libel,
which still crops up from time to time
in eastern and central European coun-
tries, Jewish leaders all voice their
profound disappointment that such
charges are possible in modern
Czechoslovakia. 1t is recalled that
the town of Polna figured in blood
libel case before, the famous Hilsner
trial having followed a similar
charge. Hilsner, who spent over ten
years in prison, was defended by M.
Massaryk, the present president of
Czechoslovakia.
