But truth to tell the Jewish peo-
pie are additionally poor or
ganizers. They lack the power of
mechanical organization.
The Jew is an individualist-
and this need not imply a re-
proach. He has too much spirit,
ual independence to obey the
mob instinct. Catchwords and
slogans do not move him as read
lily as they move others. He is
always master of himself, and
does not yield easily to mass
hysteria.
People organize themselves
for various reasons and some
times for no reason at all. They
organize for the sake of organi-
cation, they belong to a body
for the sake Of belonging" they
become part Of an organization
that has not any principles.
The Jew belongs to the OPP
posite type. Even when the need
for organization is absolutely
necessary he will not easily sub
init to this fact as it takes away
his individuality and substitutes
the will of mass of people.
The Jewish people are rich
with organizations of all kinds,
charitable and social, religious
and benevolent societies but the
Jew to organize as a whole is a
failure. There is not anywhere
such a division of pedigree as
among our own people.
We are the least democratic
when it comes to our own. Not
to speak of the traditional divis-
ions of Reform and Orthodox,
of Russian, German, and Spanish
Jewries but even the differences
of occupation and of wealth are
nowhere so accumulated as
among Jews. Even our "big"
men behave like wounded souls.
They act entirely too big when
it comes to their own. You can
reacha Gentle big man without
much ado, perhaps in the lodge
or in the church, if not at his
home or office. But our Jewish
big men are terribly inaccessible.
Never before has the need
been greater for a good organic
ed Jewry than the present time.
Certain objects cannot be ac-
chieyed without organization.
And there are tasks which can
not be tackled except by the jew
ish people as a whole. At this
time we Jews must forget social
distinctions and all combine to
organize into one powerful or
ganization. The time is now ripe
for the Jew to learn to organize.

The palace gate through which
Moses and Aaron passed to plead the

of the Exodus, is being regretted in
the University of Pennsylvania Mu-
scum at Philadelphia. One section of
the gate, which is carved from a sin
gle block of limestone and weighs more
than five tons, already has been
hoisted into place. The entire collec-

makes severe attack, both on Mr..

generally, for Mr.. Ussishkin's attempt
to speak German In Latvia and ignore
Yiddish. Mr.. Hoseman charactcrizes
this action as national scabbery. 1T is
Of very little consequence to U.S." he
says, whether Mr.. Ussishkin spoke

remains that he came to country
where the Jews are compelled TO fight
against the anti-Semitcs for the rec
ocnition Of their language and in that
country he supported the anti Semitcs
in their fight against Yiddish. Such
behavior is 50 treachcrous that only
Il man with the soul Of scab would
be guilty of it.

incident is that the Gentiles consider
the Zionists as the true representatives

that the Jewish people are carrying on
in all newly created countries for the
recognition Of their national rights and
their language. This struggle is car
ried on in Lithuania and in n more
aggravated form in Poland and 1t is,
therefore, an act OF sheer scabbery at
