WINE IN SACRAMENT UP TO
EACH RABBI, SAYS DIR.
FRIEDMAN.
Head of Temple Emanuel Asserts Al
cOIsoiic Stuff Not Essential.

Use of spurious wines for s;icri-
mental purposes is no essential part of
Jewish worship, and has been disccn-
tinuei by the central conference of
American rabbis.
However, it is entirely at the discre-
ton of individual rabbis whether syna-
gogs shall administer alcoholic or non
alcoholic wine.
These are the views of DIR. w. s.
Friedman Of Temple Emanuel, the lead
ing rabbi of Denver, concerning the ma
tionwide controversy that has arisen in
the Jewish church over the relation of
the sacrament to the prohibition law.
Rabbi Friedman declared himself
heartily in favor of recent action of
California rabbis in protesting the use
of alcoholic liquors, and opposed to ''the
few who declare i'm favor Of alcohol in
tile sacrament"
''There is nothing that requires that
sacramental wine should he spirituous,"
Rabbi Friedman said. 'NOn-alcoholic
wine would serve the same purpose bet
ter.
Use of alcoholic liquor gives oppor-
tunity for violation of the prohibition
law. 1t affords chance for the prosti-
tuition of holy rites to profane pur-
poses. 1t is ii means that may be EN-
ployed by these of sinister design"
Rabbi Friedman declined to comment
on recent statements Of federal pro-
hibition authorities here that inorlinatc
amounts of fermcnted wine had been
received by Denver synagogs of small
congregations. 9 - ~.
' ,,Eqcit lli1mnst decide tiie question
for his own synagos." he said, "and
1t is not the province of any other
rabbi to make direct suggestions. l am
glad, tho. that the number using al
coholic liquor is dwindling, not only
here. but all over the country.
1T has been II long time since spir-
ituous liquor was served at the sacra-
ment in Temple Emanuel

who have had nc privilege of taking
purt in the work of this organization
earnestly hope that all groups and or
ganizations in Jewish life. will sup

when we labor against oppression and

Continued from last week.
HachnOsas Kale

No notion is as
rich with bene-
vol e n t societies
and charitable in
stitutions as the
] e W i S h nation.
"Hachnosos Kalo"
is one of these So
cieties. When a
daughter of Israel
The Denver Jewish news., 1923-05-16

daughter of Israel
reaches that age of marriage
and has not enough dowry, this
Hachnosas Kalo society supplies
the necessary money so that the
girl need not remain to an old
age as an old maid.
The Jewish people believe in
early marriage. Opinions vary
as to the correct age of marriage.
The Talmud (Mishna Aboth v24)
fixes the age of marriage at
eighteen years. Maimonides ex-
planned that the Mishnaic phrase,
"18 years DID," which was used
to designate the proper age or
"age of consent" for both bride
groom and bride, meant in the
18th year, thus reducing the
marriage age to after the 18th
birthday. The same is applied
to a bride. In the recognized
Jewish code, (Shulchon Oruch
Even Ezra). the following
rule is laid down. at is the duty
of every Jew or Jewess to marry
in the eighteenth year, but he
who anticipates and marries
earlier in life, is following the
more laudible cause but no one
should marry very young.
The motive for those early
marriages is a moral one. The
promotion of chastity is one of
the most pronounced of Jewish
social ideals. At times, however,
marriage occurred at even an
earlier age than any yet sighted.
In the second half of the 18th
century the bridegroom was fire.
quently not more than ten years
years old and the bride was
younger still. (Mofteach p115).
Even now among Chassidism the
idea prevails that early mar
riages are best.
The difference between Chas-
sidim and none -Chassidim exists
even in the attitude of giving aid
to the "Kalo" who has not suf-
ficient funds for her dowry.
Among non-C Chassidim they have
these special societies which in
dividual people join, who pay
dues weekly and in that manner
money is accumulated for neces-
sary time. But among Chassi-
dim there is not need of any So
cieties, as each and every Chas-
sid feels it his duty to help his
fellow Chassid for the purpose
of helping to marry the daughter.
Very often in a small town OF
Poland the father promises to
give a dowry (nodan) to his in
tended son-in-law, usually large
sum of money that he hasn't,
and in order to fulfill his promise,
he goes to his fellow Chassidim,
tells them of his predicament
and then feels assured that they
will not fail him.
But most beautiful of all is the
acceptance of the money from
his brethren. He does not feel as
if he were accepting charity but
simply as if he was collecting a
debt that was due him. The
Chassidim feel likewise in giving
this money and know that if they
were in his position, they would
be treated just as nicely. This
is the way Hachnosas Kalo is OBJ
served among Chassidim.
BROTHER OF JUDGE SULZ.

tury-old delusion that the money
power is the greatest economic
force for good or evil.
Our attention is constantly
called to the war debts of Eu-
rope and we pay little attention
to the fact that we must liqui-
date in our country, not alone our
government debts, but the un-
precedented expansion that has
been forced upon US thru our
war Industries. Millions of dol
lars have been invested in in
dustrial plants for which there
has not as yet been found prof
liable peace-time market. 1t is
in this way that our capital is
tied up.
A splendid illustration of this
was given the other day by Mr..
Hardy, economic expert of Swift
& Co. He cited an instance
where a manufacturing concern
with a million dollars capitaliza-
tion had extended its plant with
S19,00O,O00 borrowed money. He
told of a livestock corporation
with assets of 100000 and La
bilities of 81, 100000. And both
these concerns are doing busi-
ness and are considered solvent.
The liquidation of these liabili-
ties will take years and the time
element will play most impor-
tant part in this liquidation
which is made possible only by
the still greater fall in the pur-
chasing power of the dollar.
This means prices must go
still higher if the debts of the
world are to be paid. This is the
system by which Germany has
wiped out her interior debts and
reduced her non-productive popu-
lation to a minimum.
1t is immaterial whether la
boring man gets 81 or $40 a day
if there is a proper balance be-
tween wage earning and produc-
ton. It's not how many dollars
you get for a certain task that
counts. 1t is how much those
dollars will buy. It's not how
many bushels of wheat or sacks
of potatoes you raise. It's how
much you can sell your produce
for that is material. The dollar
must have sufficient purchasing
power for man power. 1t must
have sufficient remunerative
power to make cultivation of our
natural resources profitable. 1t
must earn enough to make it's
investment worth while.
The prosperity of the country
will be maintained so long as
liquidation progresses no matter
how slowly that goes on. The
danger point will be reached on
| ly when the farmer refuses or
is unable to till all his land for
the reason that he cannot get a
price for his product commen-
surate with the labor he has to
expend.
Many farmers already have
reached the point where they
produce at a financial loss. 1t is
not reasonable to expect this to
continue. If the farmers should
decide to raise enough only for
their own needs just think what
this country would be up against
Instead of panic, we would have
famine. Or we might have
both panic and famine.
Unless congress and the state
legislatures can divert fair
share of the nations wealth to
the farmer, who has earned it.
the menace of socialism and COM
munism and anarchy will con,
linue with us. Even price fixing
may have to be resorted to as
was the case during the war but
it would be far better thar
famine.

is an inpenetrable
mystery about finance that
Il even battles it's master
minds. There is something
about our financial system that
even our most astute bankers
cannot explain. Pertinent ques-
tions are generally answered
with explanation that all money
values are based upon the So
called gold standard which is rec
ognized the world over.
This principle is of barbaric
origin. In the early days, wire
and trinkets were the most preci-
GUS mediums of exchange. Event
ually, transportation difficulties
made it necessary to bring the
medium of exchange down to OBJ
jects of the smallest possible
size.
The old adage, money is the
root of all evil" is only true in
sofar as money has made us lose
sight of the original object of a
medium of exchange which is to
facilitate the exchange of pro-
ducts between the producer and
the consumer. We must get back
to the basis of this conception
before economic conditions which
are upset all over the world, can
be restored to a sound basis.
This does not mean that we
should do away with money or
change our monetary system as
has been contemplated in Rus
sia, but that we should add to
its conception the three impor-
tant factors that underlie all
monetary values:
Man power.
Natural resources.
Capital.
Upon capital rests the moral
aspect of all our commercial in
tercourse and no other system
will ever replace it successfully.
The natural resources are rep
resented by our farmers and
stock raisers for it is they who
produce the foodstuffs which we
must have to live.
Man power is constituted by
the mechanic and whosoever per-
forms any useful labor.
Whole libraries have been
written to prove the capitalistic
system wrong and that the gold
standard is unjust for the reason
that the most precious thing in
the world is not gold or precious
stones but human labor. 1t is
the half truth of this last asser-
ton which is so delusive. The
fact is that only under rare and
strained conditions, remarkable
as this may seem, is a really just
and equitable balance obtained
between the three great factors
man power, national resources
and capital.
Such an economic condition
was forced upon us during the
war when all three factors re-
ceived the utmost compensation
and as a result the country was
extremely prosperous. The la
boring man who got $12 day
received the equivalent of four
bushels of wheat a day. Now,
when he is still getting SIP day
his buying capacity has been
trebled.
This naturally upset the earn
ing power of the farmer who con-
trolls the natural resources of
the country. 1t made him dis
contented and dissatisfied and it
brought him to the brink of
financial ruin. All this came
about for the sole reason that we
lost sight of the fundamental
principle in measuring values of
money only by the gold standard

SEIZE STILLS AND
MOON IN RAID

The largest and most successful
raid ever pulled off in the county took
place last Saturday night, when the
home of John Van Gills residing at
Sand beach near Pequaming was en-
tered.
Sheriff Charles Dantes, Deputy
John Saari and Federal Enforcement
Officer Charles H. Anderson made the
arrest. They found three stills, three
coils and, two barrels of mash, and a
bottle containing half gallon of
moonshine and two pints bottles of
the liquor.
The mash and boilers were located
under the floor of the building and
entrance was effected through the
pantry by trap door. A carpet was
tackled to the pantry floor, which made
the searchers suspicious. The stills
were seured by taking up the carpet
on the kitchen floor and lifting few
of the boards.
Mr.. Van Gills was brought to
DAnse and on Monday bound over to
Circuit Court by Justice Philip
Voetsch.

FORESTERS TO RAISE
DORMITORY FUNDS

A campaign for funds to furnish a
dormitory at the Northern State Nor
NAL school at Marquette for Cath
olic girls will be launched today in
L'Anse, Baraga, Pequaming and Ke-
weenaw Bay by Mary Our Lady IF
Victory Court No. 969, Womens Cath
olic Order of Foresters. Plans for
the drive were completed at the meet
ing held Tuesday night.
At the meeting the territory was
divided into districts and committees
were assigned to solicit contributions
to the fund in each district. No stat
ed quota has been assigned to Baraga
Court 500, but the Women Foresters
of Marquette diocese have assumed
the responsibility of furnishing the
home at an estimated cost of $4,000
The dormitory, which will be n
central home for Catholic girls, pro-
viding board, rooms and recreational
facilities, was made possible through
gift by Bishop Pinten of the Su-
perior diocese. While pastor of the
Marquette cathedral, Bishop Pinten
purchased the Longyear estate, which
consists of large residence of about
fifty rooms, with the idea of estab-
fishing home for Catholic girls who
attend the Marquette Normal. Upon
leaving the diocese Bishop Pinten
gave the property to the Marquette
diocese with the understanding that
it will be equipped for a dormitory.
The Womens Catholic Foresters of
the diocese have assumed the res
possibility of furnishing the home,
and campaigns similar to the one
started this morning will be conduct
ed by all courts in the diocese. 1t is
planned to open the dormitory with
the opening of the summer session
next year.
