The remainder of the first half

Vikings continued from where they
had left off and, playing heads-up
football, took advantage of a pass

winning point. When an Imperial

In Fourth Stanza

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 2 tUP) -
Bantamweight champion Manuel
Ortiz who won a narrow decision
from Leonardo Lopez in their last
fight, erased any doubts last night
with a fourth-round knockout in
Legion Stadium Gaping rope-to-
rope slaughter.
The Mexico City challenger,
dragged from the canvas to his
corner at the end of the third,
sailed cautiously out in the fourth
to land in a bloody heap two
minutes and forty seconds later
without laying solid glove on the
champion.
Cut over one eye and bleeding
buckets, Lopez was bumped over on
his head with his knees buckled
under him at the end of the third,
only the bell away from a knock
out.
POWER AND ACCURACY
Packing a two-pound advantage
at 11712, the El Centro, Calf, BAN
tam king had the power and ac-
curacy that Lopez lacked. From
the opening stanza, when each
fighter spared for advantage,
Ortiz had the bout in the bag.
He staggered Lopez badly in the
second, whacking away at his
middle until his hands came down,
and then one-twoing to the jaw.
From the second through the third
and fatal fourth, the challenger
bounced glassy-eyed off the ropes
a half dozen times.
The challenger couldn't land, and
ringsiders credited him with not
more than three solid punches

Recently I asked my readers for
help in answering the question:
Why is the English "B.C." Before
Christi used instead of a Latin
form to correspond to "A.D." (Anno
Domini. In the year of our Lord")?
I also reported that a few readers
had suggested that ANTE Domini"
Before Christi would have the same
abbreviation, AID, as Ammo Domini,
hence the necessity for the English
form Before Christ"
Later comments have reached me
in large numbers, but the matter
still is uncertain, for no two theories
coincide. Some readers have point
ed out correctly that ANTE Domini"
is not permissible, since ante
should take the accusative case, thus:
Ante Dominum. Others have sub
mitted "Priore Christie" as the cor
rect Latin for Before Christ" Still
others have suggested ANTE Chris

I find the abbreviation A.C., for
Ante Christum, sanctioned by Mer-
RAM -Webster's. But why 1t isn't
used, instead Of the English form
BIC. no one seems to know. This
question has aroused widespread
interest, and If any scholar among

Robert Moses, tells the nation in
widely distributed magazine that
America cannot digest" tn e
masses of Europe, and that the
promise of America is dead for
all time. Jefferson might well re-
read today in the light of the new
dispensation of the Moses of our
time, not a prophet but voice of
hopelessness.
When the Constitution was
adopted, jefferson was incensed at
the omission of a Bill of Rights
to protect the citizens against
their government. "Such rights"
he said, cannot only be implied.
They must be expressed" And
with his logic, his powerful per-
sonality, and his eloquence, he
forced through the first Ten
Amendments which are tn e
Magma Charta of the American
people.
In a world where statesmen
prate of freedom, liberty, and
equality, and act on the basis of
the old diplomacy of balance of
power, slavery, and inequality, it
is we'll to consider some of the
specific observations of Jefferson
on the subject of the Jews.
Writing to Isaac Hardy of
Charleston, the pioneer of reform
Judaism in this country, from
Monticello in 1926, Jefferson said:
Il have to thank you for the
copy you have been so kind as to
send me of your Discourse be-
fore the Reformed Society of
Israelites.' I am little acquainted
with the liturgy of the Jews, or
their mode of worship; but the
reformation proposed, and ex-
planned in the Discourse, appears
entirely reasonable. Nothing is

tons should keep pace with the

America. He rebelled against the
hypocrisies of his age and struck
out upon the path of reason in the
hope of finding there a new for
mula for happiness. And in the
Declaration of Independence,
which he set down, is embodied
the sum of his philosophy: All
men are created equal; they are
endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights; among
these rights are life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness.
The world is at war against
new barbarism which states the
antithesis of that case. To the
Germans, Jefferson, like Spinoza,
Marx, or Brandeis, is anathema.
If Americans knew their history
as they know the dates of their
battles, the words of Thomas Jeff
erson could go out on our anyways,
drowning out not only the caco-
phony of Goebbels, but of our own
little Hitlers who are in but not
of America.
When a member of an American
religious minority goes to prayer
this week, whether he be Jew,
a Catholic, or a Seventh Day Ad-
ventist, he may give thanks to
Thomas Jefferson that he need
not peer anxiously over his should
er before bowling his head. For
Jefferson had said:
IT have sworn upon the altar OF
God eternal hostility against every
form of tyranny over the mind of
man. have ever thought relig-
ion a concern purely between our
Maker and our conscience, for
which we are accountable to Him,
and not to the priest. I never
tell my religion, nor scrutinize
that of another. I never attempt
ed to make a convert, nor wished
to change another's creed. I have
ever judged of the religion of
others by their lives, for it is in
our lives and not from our words
that our religion must be read"
In a day when the Established
Church was the sole guardian of
the spirit of the Virginia colony,
jefferson declared: mo man is
by nature bound to any church.
The hope of salvation is the cause
of his entering into it. If he finds
anything wrong with it, he should
be as free to go out as he was to
come in"
The fight to disestablish that
church was a difficult one. All
the powers which lived, off its
bounty were lined up to oppose
Jefferson and his colleagues. But
the man who said, THE opinions
of men on religion are not the
subject of civil government nor
under its jurisdiction" finally
carried the day. In 1876 these
principles were formally enunciat-
ed by the Virginia Legislature:
mo man shall be compelled to
frequent or support any religious
worship, ministry, or place what

The approach OF JEFFERSON d.
centennial gives us the opportun-
ity to restate certain American
principles which we call "funda-
mental" but which are being
challenged quite as much in cur
rent Congressional debates as they
were bitterly fought by the landed
gentry and the Established Church
of Virginia in the eighteenth CEN
fury. Despite many years OF
repetition, in the life as well as
the speeches of our people. the
lessons which Jefferson taught are
yet imperfectly learned.
When a spokesman of Jeffer-
sons own State declares in the
House of Representatives, Il don't
want any Ginsburg to order my
boy around in the Army" and
when other Congressman speak OF
the divine mission which has been
given to the American white
GENTLE it is clear that the nation
badly needs the moral cleansing OF
a thorough restudy of our greatest
democrat. For if Jefferson had
sat in the House when those words
were uttered, he would not have
smirked and applauded, as did
MANY in that chamber. He would
have shuddered for the fate of the
democracy which he labored so
long to build.
When Jefferson was born in
1743, it was crime to be a Jew
in Virginia. It was forbidden TO
Catholics to celebrate the mass.
Baptists, Quakers, Methodists,
and Presbyterians alike were per-
secuted for their heretical beliefs.
And if by chance Jew found his
wav into the State and was heard
DENYING the divinity of Jesus, the
punishment was death at the
stake. This was the world into
which jefferson was born, world
OF narrow bigotry and empty
Journalism, a travesty uron the
freedom which was the premise OF
the vast new land.
How jefferson came to symbol
ize the struggle against the tyran-
MES over the mind and the body
of man is one of the epics OF
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1943-04-09

soever; nor shall he be enforced,
restrained, molested or burdenec
in his body or his goods; nor shall
he otherwise suffer on account OF
his religious opinions or beliefs;
but all men shall be free to pro-
fess, and by argument to main
tain, their opinions in matters of
religion; and the same shall in no
wise diminish, enlarge or affect
their civil capacities"
Almost unique in the legislation
of any country is this addition to
that declaration: and though
we know well that this Assembly,
elected by the people for the ord
mary purposes of legislation, has
no power to restrain the acts of
succeeding assemblies constituted
with power equal to our own, and
that, to declare this act irrevoc-
able would therefore have no eff
feet in law; yet we are free to de-
clare, that the rights hereby as
serted are the natural rights of
mankind; and that, if any act
shall hereafter be passed to repeal
the present or narrow its opera
ton, such an act will be an in
fringement of natural rights"
All this had meaning to the
Jews, who for centuries had suf-
fered under the whiplash of one
church or another. The message
! of the Virginia Assembly spread
throughout the country, and the
separation of church and state,
although not completed until 1884
in all states and territories, was
rendered inevitable. The freedom
of religion. like a fresh breeze,
was due to sweep across the land,
clearing away the dead under
brush of traditional bondage to
ecclesiastic authority. Jews in
the ghettos of Poland wept with
joy at the news of American lib
Grafton. The millions of Jews who
were to come to this country in
succeeding generations paid hon.
age to the man who had laid the
foundation for their equality in
the land of their choice.
Jews are indebted to Thomas
Jefferson for yet another reform.
Until he enunciated the principle
of voluntary citizenship, a man
was forever bound to remain a
subject of the country in which he
was born. There was no question
about the status of the Polish
born. They were Poles. Germans
remained forever under the rule of
their petty monarchs. But Jeffer-
son, who saw in America a new
kind of human society, declared it
is the natural right of man to
change his domicile and his alleg-
lance. When a man is dissatisfied
with his native country, Jefferson
said, he has the right to migrate,
to adopt another country as his
own, and to acquire all rights and
privileges of the native-born in
that country.
Such doctrine, unfortunately, is
heresy today in the United States.
We have come a long way from
/ the revolutionary days. when a
descendant of immigrant Jews,
