"THE TERRIBLE JEWS"

"The Terrible Jews-By One of
Them," from the pen of DR.. A. Myer-
son, neurologist and author of "The
Nervous Housewife" and "Founda-
lions Of Personality" has just been
issued by The Jewish Advocate Pub
fishing Company of Boston.
"The Terrible Jews deals with the
great Jewish plot and the author has
adapted the plan of "going the other
fellow one better" He, or rather the
narrator, agrees with gentleman
whom he deliberately DISCUSSES under
the "nom de machine" of "F. Liver"
that there is plot; and as a Jewish
ally proposes to show more than could
possibly be discovered by a non-Jew.
He tells of the organization of the
Elders of Zion, amongst whom there
are Popes and Emperors of France,
and how these schemes capture Fran
els Bacon, convert him to Judaism and
his name to Kalbfeisch, it being obvi-
ously forbidden to have Bacon in a

Jewish organization. The G. o. O. M.
E. (Grand Omnipotent Oriental Mag
nifcent Elder) as Kalbfeisch is
known thereafter, organizes the plot
which briefly is to create so many
Jewish men of genius in every pos
sible line as to deceive the Gentiles
into thinking that the Jews are fine
race and meanwhile to capture all the
power of the world.
Arthur Brisbane lately deplored the
fact that satire has become a lost art,
and that mankind has thus given up
the use of one of the finest of all
weapons against wrong and folly.
The publishers commend to Mr.. Bris-
bane's attention DIR. Myerson's "The
Terrible jews" and we feel certain
that he will agree that satirists are
still with us, and that in this work of
DR.. Myerson, a fine satire has come
into being.
The satire of s'rhe Terrible Jews"
is relieved by broad humor, and itself
forms part of piece of real litera-
ture that notably and honestly pre-
sents the problem of the Jew.

TWIN CITIES BECOMING CENTER

With two conference.-the Region
Number 10 Conference of the Fedora
ton of Temple Sisterhoods, and the
Northwest Keren Hayesod Confer
ence, taking place in one or both of
the Twin Cities in one week, atten-
tion is again called to the fact that
the Minneapolis and st. Paul are be-
coming recognized for what they are,
the gateway to large and impor-
tant territory, even in all matters
of Jewish concern. All the more need,
therefore, for deepened and
strengthened Jewish consciousness in
the metropolis of the Northwest.
With such "hinterland" as Western
Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas
and Iowa to serve, the opportunities
for the Twin Cities to help the con-
tiguous territory is indeed a matter
for constructive planning. The strong
er the Jewish life of the two cities
the better they will be able to serve
those depending on them for light
and leading.

E. DI TORlAL
THE OLD GENERATION AND THE
NEW
NEW

With all the obstacles that the War
Relief Committee had to overcome
this year in the raising of funds, the
quota has now been realized. When
this years campaign was launched,
many of the workers started out with
diffidence and foreboding. While all
knew that the need for relief this
year has been as urgent and as i'm
the period of the war, yet the general
depression and pessimism in the COM
mercial world, it was feared, might
prove an insurmountable obstacle to
the raising of the large sum of four
teen million dollars, which was the
minimum amount agreed upon as the
sum sufficient to mitigate the want
and suffering Of the war victims.
While it is highly gratifying to all
those who have the cause of our faith
and our people at heart to see this
ability of the War Relief Committee
to raise the large sum of money in
spite of the difficulties that confront
ed the committees working, yet, it
must be clear to those who have OBJ
served the work of the committee
closely, that the giving this time was
not quite as ready and as cheerful as
it had been in previous years. In fact,
even in local charities, it becomes more
and more evident that the giving on
the part of the new generation is not
accompanied by that heartiness and
whole-souled readiness with which
the giving on the part of the older
generation used to be accompanied.
True, American Jewry has, within the
past few years, been educated in the
art of giving by the exigencies of the
times. The dire distress and the, new
necessities that were brought about
by the recent war taught Jewish
charity workers and communal lead
ers new methods and new aims along
the lines of charity. The same causesN

Book Week." during which emphasis
is to be laid on the value of having
worthwhile books in the homeland
reading them.
Modern life is so complex that un-
less special attention is called to them
even important things remain undone.
The average human is willing to "try
it once, anyway" and risk acquiring
the habit. Commercial agencies rec
ognize this fact and make use of it
in their advertising campaigns. In
deed, what is all advertising if not the
attempt, by suggestion, to develop
certain products; the various indus
tries "teach" the public that it needs
certain commodities, and so the de-
mand is created and the habit is
formed.
Why should not the forces for
morality use a similar method? Why
should they not advertise their prod
uct and by the written or spoken
word create a demand for religious
and other helpful books? Who will
deny that the reader has everything
to gain and nothing to lose by being
induced to scan such books? True, it
may be deplorable that to induce men
and women to strive for their own
welfare, it is necessary to CONNER
cialize the appeal and reduce the need
of reading books to the same plane as
buying merchandise or eating fruit.
Books being food for the mind one
would expect that commercial meth
DDS are necessary. But if that is the
only way to reach the masses to elm
veigle" them into slipping from the
cup Of religious truth, then it seems it
must be done. So we hope that
through the medium Of Religious
Book Week" thousands who ordinarily
do not know or do not care, will make
or renew their acquaintance with
those books that have meant so much
to the race,-the Bible and the count
less volumes that draw their inspira-
ton from it.
If families knew how much young
and old would gain, and how the real
values of life would be enriched by a
closer acquaintance with worthwhile
books, there would be less of the time
wasting activities and more hours
spent in the wholesome atmosphere
of the home.

NAHUM SOKOLOW

1t is difficult, in speaking of Nahum
Sokolow, not to indulge in superla-
tives. Leading Hebrew journalist
and literateur, and prince Of Jewish
diplomats, he has been identified with
Jewish life and letters in a public
way for more than two score years.
And now, well past the sixtieth mile
stone of his life he is defeating him
self fully, self-sacrifcingly, to the
future of the Jewish people. A lin
guist of marked ability tit is inter-
esting that already in 1882, while in
Russia he published, among other
works, his "Torat Sefat Anglit," a
method of elf-instruction in English
for the Hebrew reader), he has writ
ten and spoken in half a dozen Ian
guages in the interest Of the Jewish
people. He is veteran Zionist, and
now it falls to his happy lot to be
playing leading role in helping to
bring to realization the age-old yet
ever-new ideal of Zion. AS the re-
spected able and fearless champion Of
Jewish rights, he has interviewed rul-
ers, statesmen and dignitaries.
Whether at the Papal court or before
the "Big Five" of the Peace Confer
ence, he pleaded nobly, convincingly
and effectively the cause of the Jewish
Home in Palestine.
During the last few months he has
been honoring Jewish communities in
America by coming in person to speak
to his brethren as he had spoken to in
fuential non-Jews the world over. It
is pity that Sokolow's visits have
sometimes been planned with an eye
to the finances of Zionism, though
fortunately that is not the case local
ly, as there will be no appeal for
funds. But even the monetary fea-
ture of Sokolow's visits have not been
able to lessen for his admirers, whose
number is legion (for who has not
heard of Sokolow?), the privilege of
hearing and seeing their favorite Of
the "Ha-zefirah," since the early eigh-
ties.
Naturally, the Twin Cities are anx-
ious to show that they appreciate
the honor involved in Sokolow's visit.
But how reciprocate the honor? How
else than by paying him the compli-
ment of helping the work to which
he is devoting his life in the fullest
sense of the WORLDLY aiding the
Keren Hayesod? Fortunately, the
campaign for the Keren Hayesod was
successfully waged here some months
ago. But the committee in charge has
conceived the idea that if those who
pledged and have not yet paid, will
"cash in" on their pledge, neat sum
would be Forthcoming at once, and at
the time when funds for Palestine are
so sadly needed. To man like Soko-
low, such compliment would be most
acceptable.

were responsible also for the new
habit of our people to think in larger
terms concerning matters of charity.
For this reason, it has become pos
sible to raise much larger sums in
all charitable enterprises in which the
Jews of this country are interested
and concerned collectively. Yet,
great difference is noticeable between
the old and the new generation in
matters of charity. And the differ
ence springs not so much from lack
of appreciation as from the lack OF
understanding of the Importance of
Jewish charity. For, it must be re-
membered that only man who was
brought up in the old Jewish home
and in the old Jewish atmosphere,
and has himself experienced suffering
and privation, can truly understand
the Jewish problems and the Jewish
needs. Those, on the other hand, who
have been raised in homes of wealth
and luxury cannot have the grasp of
Jewish problems nor the feelings for
the Jewish needs that the older gen.
GRAFTON so truly possessed. This ac-
counts for the fact that in every COM
munity we find that the wealthy sons
of pioneers are hardly ever as char
liable and as truly imbued with the
Jewish spirit of religiosity and lib
crafty in matters Jewish as were
their parents.
Thus, it would hardly be fair to
expect the young Mr.. Schiff of New
York, charitable and phi1anthropic
though he is, to do the things for his
faith and his people that his father
had been in the habit Of doing. For
it must be remembered that the father
had been brought up in the Jewish at
mosphere of that splendid community
of Frankfort, while the son, although
he too was brought up in a splendid
Jewish home, was nevertheless a
product Of American education and
opportunity. Hence, Jacob H. Schiff
was a prince of givers, not only be-
cause of his charitable disposition, but
also because Of his thorough grasp Of
the many and the complex problems
that confront Jewish charity, while
Mr.. Mortimer Schiff is charitably in
clined, but cannot be expected to have
as thorough grasp of these problems
as did his father. The same differ
ence is noticeable in every community
in which the younger generation is
called upon to take the place in mat
tiers of charity and religion that has
been made vacant by the passing of
their pioneer fathers. 49,
Of course, in many instances there
may also be some compensating fac
tors when the younger generation
takes hold of the communal affairs.
The younger generation often injects,
for instance, greater spirit of prog
ress and many measures of higher
efficiency in the communal work, but
the indefnabIe element which forms
such an invaluable part, both intel
lectually and emotionally, of that
which is termed Jewishness is gener.
ally lacking in the new generation
For, that element could be acquired
only in the old Jewish home and ir
the old Jewish atmosphere.
