Premier Mussolini
Backed by Strong
Vote of Confidence
nv Associated Press,

ROME, Nov. 18.-Benito Mussolini
starts his career as Italian premier
backed by a strong vote of confidence
from parliament.
The Fascist government was up
held 300 to 116, after stormy session
of the chamber yesterday in which the
Socialists and other minority groups
broke their snllen silence and hurled
defiance and invectives at the govern
ment benches, only to be dismissed by
Mussolfai with contempuous remarks
and waves of the hand. He had de-
manded obedience from the deputies
and the majority bowed to the newt
able.
To protest over the manner in
which he had approached the chamber
for its support, he replied curtly: 81
treated the chamber the way it de-
served to be treated"
Despite the vote of confidence many
of the deputies went home feeling none
too sure that the premier would not
dissolve the chamber. Socialists who
voted against the government were
heard to ask: How long is he going
to stand for the servile attitude of
those men who would have had him
shot month ago.

Freeman declared that the house ap-

there for some time.

pealed to the supreme court to allow
Lloyd to go free because the convicted
man had S1,S00,00O worth of real es-

he did not know where his client was.
Il do not believe he is a fugitive,
however" Forrest declared "He will
give himself up as soon as he has his
business affairs arranged, in my opin-

TWO SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATES

IWO SUCCESSFUL CANDlDAlES
While there probably have been
numerous Jews here and there who
won victory at the polls on Tuesday,
we know especially Of two successful
candidates who have many friends in
the Twin Cities, Judge Alexander D.
Saper and State Treasurer Sol Levi
ton.
Alexander D. Saper, war veteran,
wounded in the Argonne, was elected
municipal Judge in Kansas City. We
wish him success in his new and ex-
alted position.
Sol Leviton of Wisconsin has been
elected treasurer of the state of Wis
consin. The best qualification for
treasurer is to know the value of
money and to know how to safeguard
the funds of others as jealously as his
own. Both qualifications are pos
sessed in bountiful measure by Sol
Leviton. AS an immigrant who had
climbed the steep uphill path of the
self-made man, he knows the value
of money-witness his standing as
leading banker of Wisconsin. His
reputation for honesty and trust
worthiness have won him, among his
associates, the title of Honest Old
SOL" In his keeping, the funds OF the
state that has just honored him will
be safe beyond question. We wish
him long and honorable career as
state treasurer.

luth, has left to accept call from
Congregation Shaarei Zedek, of st.
Louis. Rabbi Lebendiger's ministry
in Duluth was of benefit not only to
his own congregation and school but
extended along many lines of helpful
ness in the community at large.
Zionism, B'nai Birth, all communal
efforts were the benefciaries of Rabbi
Lebendiger's activity, and he was
heartily Joined and ably seconded by
his genial and capable help-meet, Mrs.
Lebendiger. Perhaps the outstanding
single achievement, for which Rabbi
Lebendiger will be remembered is the
courageous, sincere stand he took with
regard to the Jewish tag day that was
staged for several years exclusively
on Saturdays. Such a public disre-
gard of the Sabbath by Jews was
finally done away with at Rabbi
Lebendiger's initiative. His earnest
ness and high-minded devotion to the
duties of the Hebrew institute, and
his service to Duluth Jewry at large
have won for Rabbi Lebendiger host
of friends, whose good wishes accom-
pany him to the field Of his new ac-
tivities.
Reference to Rabbi Lebendiger's ac-
ton in eliminating Jewish tag days
on the Sabbath calls attention to an
even more remarkable achievement
by the other young Rabbi of Duluth,
Rabbi Alvin S. Luchs. About a month
before Rosh Hashonoh Rabbi Luchs
conceived the idea of inducing the
Jewish business men of Duluth to
keep closed on Rosh Hashonoh and
Yom Kippur. Setting to work, he
succeeded in securing the signatures
Of practically all Jewish merchants,
pIedging themselves to refrain from
business on the Holy Days. This was
done, and for the first time in the his
tory of Duluth, Jews on the Holy Days
really refrained from business. This
not only proved a. pleasant relief to
our co-religionists, but was the sub
jectln Of laudatory comment by nom
Jewish public opinion. All of which
shows what can be done if there is
but the will, backed by energy and
idealism.

think that covers the case very
nicely, Governor, thank you!
A friend sends me the Golden
Rule Magazine" There is an article
that amuses as we'll as interests me.
It's title is, "Why Jews Succeed" I
am sure that the author is well in
tentioned man, but before he spreads
such inaccuracies on paper for pub
lie reading he should acquaint him
self with facts. Here is one of the
reasons why Jews succeed. haven't
room to give all. Mr.. T. Sharper
Knowlson, the author, says:
Primarily the possession of
MONEY IS A SIGN OF THE
FAVOR OF JEHOVAH. To OBJ
tain wealth is thus kind of
sacred duty. The Jew has no
sympathy with the New Testa-
ment where it says: Lay not up
for yourselves treasure on earth
where moth and rust doth COR
rupt' Treasure on earth Ito
the Jew is a symbol of Divine
favor. Abraham's servant accu-
rately phrased the Jewish idea:
The Lord hath blessed my mas
ter greatly: and he hath given
him fiocks and herds and silver
and gold and men servants and
camels and asses They mean
Jehovah's smile. No wonder the
atheistic Jew is often anti-capi-
talistic."

step Homer and his religious
zeal because he has a highly
specialized and commercialized
form of religion. The Rode
HEAVIER productions are so vulgar
they are funny. Rodeheaver is
of the same kidney as B. Sunday
and there he belongs"
Rather strong talk that. But then
after all the worst commentary on
the common sense of the American
people was in the hysterical reception
given Billy Sunday and Rodeheaver.
Talk about Main Street! The big
cities didn't have thing on Gopher
Prairie. One is amazed that men and
women, self respecting, high-minded,
religious-minded men and women
could have lent themselves 10 such a
sensational and sacreligious display
as INDUCED in by this former base
ball player. 1t was a hysteria that
held the possibilities of menace to
the peace and we'll being of a COM
munity.
Haywood Broun in the New York
'Times" has this paragraph:
"Our contemporary, The Call
(Socialist paper), directs atten-
ton to letter sent to voters in
the interests of judicial candi-
date by his honor John F. Hylan,
written in Yiddish. signed by the
Mayor (adds the CalD but not
in Yiddish. Says the Times:
Three years ago, observes our
Socialist friend, Socialist speak
ers who spoke in Yiddish were
arrested, but we are getting on
1t is a pleasure to find the Mayor
learning language even If it
isn't that of the majority"
In an interview in the Washington
Post the other day Simon Wolf, who
just celebrated his eighty-sixth birth
day, said:
''Never have I envied any man
his wealth or his station in life.
Always I have gotten the great
est pleasures out of life by MAX
ing other people happy. To my
mind there can be no better
thing said of a man than that he
has contributed in some measure
to the joy of others"
There we have the philosophy OF
successful living summed up. Mr..

ton said:
Simon Wolf, the Jew, is the
best Christian in the District OF

In answer to my numerous critics
I quote the Governor of Maine on the
Ku Klux Klan, which I wish to add is
merely one of the thousands OF SINH
lar statements that are now filling
columns of the daily press OF the
country; there is a definite change In
sentiment toward the Klan. Here is
what the Governor says:

against class, sect against sect,
religion against religion. Such
an organization must not and
never will get foothold in this
state. Secrecy is dangerous and

The American Jewish world., 1922-11-10

So Mr.. Knowlson continues:
''It is important that the Jew
ish view of wealth should be
borne in mind when dealing with
the subject of this article. In
stead of thinking of the Jew as
man out for dollars anyhow,
anytime and all the time, we
must think of him as a man who
seeks dollars because it is con-
sonant with his religion. 1t is
no part of my function to anal
we the idea and to value it. All
I aim at just now is to under
stand religion-well, it is gen.
orally successful"
Well, we are never too old to learn.
I am quite sure that our Golden Rule
editor thought that he had discov-
cred something wonderful. But it's
only funny. Take the Presidents
Proclamation for Thanksgiving; take
any state paper that is addressed to
the public on New Years for exam
pie. What does it usually contain?
Just what Abraham's servant is re-
ported to have said only in different
words. Instead OF saying, The Lord
hath blessed my master greatly" and
then enumerating what he possessed,
the President or the Governor or the
Mayor says: "The Lord hath blessed
this nation with big crops, big BUSH
ness, prosperity is overfowing, etc.,
etc." Does that mean, my dear Mr..
Knowlson that the citizenship of this
country feels RELIGIOUS OBLIGA-
TION TO MAKE MONEY and to
GROW BIG CROPS and to DO BIG
BUSINESS? You can see for your
self how absurd your theory is.
I will tell you that your theory is
pure nonsense and the only purpose
it serves is to give readers of your
magazine a wrong impression OF the
Jew and to increase the widespread
erroneous impression that every Jew
MUST MAKE MONEY as sign OF
favor with God. It's too bad. An
Arab once said, "He who knows not
and knows that he knows not is wise,
but he who knows not and knows not
that he knows not is a fool" Really,
Mr.. Knowlson, am out of patience
with you.
