hoping that at least some of his
pearls will be noted, but usually
ne waits in vain for the rewarding
note, the warm human cheering
missive from the reader. He must
go on YEARLY plOdding his way,
ignorant even whether he has an
audience or not, repeating to
himself:
l shot an arrow into the air
It fell to earth I know not
where.
But let him make a bIunder and
instantly things change. He be-
gins to receive letters-nOt only
the usual bills and summOnses.
Life takes on a new meaning.
Then he knows, life can be beau
tiful!
A recent piece I wrote about
Jews and the Presidency is a case
in point. I made a mistake. I
spoke of Victor Rosenwater, of
Nebraska, who was chairman of
the Republican National Commit
tee in the election of 1912, but in
stead of making him a Republican,
I made him a Democrat. I am
almost glad made the error in
this instance for it brought me a
letter from Mrs. Harriet Rose
water Sax, of Philadelphia, a
daughter of the Nebraska Repub-
lican leader.
OF course it was a bad error to
turn a distinguished leader into a
Democrat. While Mr.. ROsewater,
as Mrs. Sax points out, lived in
the same state as Bryan, he was
never in sympathy with the Great
COmmOner.
Mrs. Sax suggests that consult
Mr.. Rosewater's book, "Backstage
in 1912" have done so. I find
it very interesting reading. 1t
was the year, we all remember,
when Theodore Roosevelt bolted
the Republican convention which
had nominated William Howard
Taft for a second term. The Re-
publican party split made possible
the election of Woodrow Wilson.
Another reader, complaining
about the same piece, takes me to
task for failing to mention that
President Hoover appointed a Jew,
CardOza, to the Supreme Court.
Perhaps 1 should have mentioned
that, but 1 was not trying to ex-
haust the subject. could hardly
do so in a column. / did not for
instance also mention the fact
that President Pierce once offered
a place on the Supreme Bench
to Judah p. Benjamin. The assO-
Citations of Thomas Jefferson or
Abraham Lincoln with Jews, or
for that matter of many others,
would require more than column
to relate. 1 was merely trying
to hit a few high spots.
The election of 1912, to which
Mrs. Sax refers, is, I think, of
particular interest to anyone who
is anxious to touch on Jewish
angles. Mr.. Rosewater, the chair
man of the Republican National
Committee, was staunch Taft
s,,nporter. Mr.. Roosevelt had a
very strong Jewish, supporter in
the person of Oscar S Straus and
Mr. Wilson had a warm lieutenant
in Louis D. Brandeis.

tCoatinued from last week.
The sixth teaching of Baha'u'llah
is the equality between men and
women. This is peculiar to the
teachings of Baha'ullah, for all
other religions placed men above
women.
The seventh of the teachings of
Baha'u'llah. which is new for this
day. is that prejudice and fanati-
cism, whether religious, sectarian,
sectional, UNCONVENTIONAL or pat
riotic. are destructive of tn e
foundation of the human solidari-
ty SO that man should release
himself from such bonds in order
that the oneness of the world of
humanity might become manifest,
The eighth of his teachings is
universal peace; that all men and
nations shall make peace amongst
them; that there shall be univer-
sal peace amongst governments,
universal peace amongst religions,
universal peace amongst races,
universal peace amongst the in
habitants OF all regions, This is
one of the special characteristics
of the revelation of BAHIA 'ullah
The ninth of these special
teachings is that all MANKIND
should partake of both knowledge
and education, and this partaking
Of knowledge and education is one
of the necessities of religion This
again is one Of the special char
acteristics of the teachings of Ba-
ha'u'llah.
The eleventh teaching is the
solution of the economic question
For no religious books of the past
prophets speak of the economic
question, while the economic
nroblems has been thoroughly sol
we'd in the teachings of Bahaul-
lab.
The eleventh teaching is the or
