MIR. Sol Levitan, of Madison, Wis,
has been nominated for State Treas
urer by the Republican Party. Mr..
Levitan, who is president of one of
the leading banks in Wisconsin, came
to this country as young lad and
has worked his way up winning uni
versal respect. Those of our read
ers who are at all associated with
B'nai Birth work will remember the
pleasure they have in meeting Mr..
Levitan, who is the sergeant-at-arms
at the annual conventions of District

Levitan a successful termination of
his campaign, and we anticipate that
when he is elected Treasurer of his
State he will adorn his office with
credit to himself and benefit for the
state that hOnOrS him with the trust.

their fancies could be accommodated.
Many of these Bible critics did not
even have a clear understanding of
the original text of the Bible. Yet.
the exposition of the Biblical chap
ters according to the construction of
the Bible critics came to be taken as
authoritative and as historically
proven. And among the Biblical
chapters in which the Bible critics
seem to have had things entirely
their own way were those that dealt
with the flood. Professor Clay's dis
covery must therefore have the in
evitable effect of pointing to the un-
reliability of our sO-called bible
criticism" For it proves conclusive
ly that the account of the flood as
found in the Bible is an original and
not a borrowed record. 1t proves
conclusively also that even in the
Biblical narratives which bear a
great deal of similarity to the mar
we must not be too hasty in assum-
ing a non-Jewish origin.
AS to what effect this new discov-
cry will have upon the school and
system of Bible criticism in general,
time alone will tell. But this much
is certain: Those who still have the
least reverence for the Bible as a
sacred book will now realize more
than ever the injustice that has been
done to the Bible by depriving it of
it's originality and the injustice that
has been done to our people by rep
resenting them as mere borrowers
of the traditions of other people.
OF course, as far as the great spir-
itual truths are concerned which are
found in the Bible, there was little
to fear from the Bible critics. Even
if it were assumed that all the great
biblical characters were merely le-'
gendary and that the narratives
concerning them were simply bor-
rowed from the traditions of other
nations of antiquity, the spiritual
value of the great truths which the
Bible teaches would still be retained.
For, the reverence for the Bible and
the appreciation of it's spiritual
values do not depend upon the his
toricity nor upon the originality of
it's narratives. If every Biblical mar
rative concerning the ancestors of
our race and the early experiences

biblical teachings of ethics and
morality would still retain their
value. If it could be shown conclu-
sively that every name in the Bible
was mythical, the Bible as whole
would still enjoy deservedly it's
revered place in the worlds treas
ured literature, because it, more
than any other literary production,
Influenced the life and conduct of
millions of people for ever so many
centuries. Even if the very doc
trines of ethics and morality found
in the Bible could be traced with GER
tainty to sources outside of Israel,
the fact that the Bible, and not any
other sources laid the foundation
for modern civilization and taught
the world the eternal truths of God
and the Universe would make Israel
the undisputed teacher of religion
as far as the present day civilized
world is concerned. But it is never
theless great satisfaction to know
that even such a narrative as that
of the food and such character as
that of Noah can be traced at least
t1,irtv-eipht centuries back and to a

any rate. I think the Tribune"

not by any means agree with all of
their selections. Furthermore there
is no reason why a man such as

/ STREET. SCORES
4AX RAISE UNJUST
Business Men Give Many
Reasons for Inexpediency
of Change Now.

An increase of taxes on any class
of property at the present time would
be "inequitable. unjust and oppres-
sive," in the opinion of members of
the H Street Business Mems Associa-
hon Resolutions to this effect were
Fadopted by the association yesterday
afternoon at meeting in the Prin-
cess Theater.
1t was voted that the proposed tax
legislation would be inexpedient, for
the following reasons:
1t would tend to increase rents and
operations and thus make more acute
the already deplorably bad housing
conditions existing throughout the
District.
Forecast OF Higher Rent.
1t would tend to increase rents and
thus lead to further congestion in liv-
ing quarters where, generally, there
are already three families living in
space no more than properly suffi-
cient for two, in attempts to save
rent by economizing space. Not
withstanding the controlling power
of the rent commission. this tendency
TO increase rents is inevita BILE, be-
cause even that body recognizes
taxes as one of the elements that
must be considered in fixing reason
able rent.
Hurts Work Situation.
There are at present many people
out of employment and such legisla-
ton would tend to increase that num-
Der. for the reason that increases in
rent leave persons of small and mod
crate incomes at the necessity of cur
failing expenses in all other direc-
tions and thus curtail business in
al other directions"
1t was resolved that committee
Of three be appointed to use the reso-
lutions in any proper attempt to pre-
vent the proposed legislation.
A project of H. E. Quinn to publish
newspaper In the interests Of this
section was indorsed. Hubert New
som. president called the meeting and
presided. The annual election of Of
ficers will be held May 23, when an
outing also will be arranged.
