What Detroit Rabbis Say
About the Effect of Emanci-
pation of Russian Jews
RABBI A. M. HERSHMAN
Replying to the query as to what
effect the liberation of Russian Jewry
will have on the Kionist movement,
it is my opinion that the emancipa-
tion of Russian Jewry will strengthen
the Zionist movement and give it
greater impetus..
Let us disabuse our minds of an
idea which has taken deep root in
sonic quarters—the idea that the ex-
istance and growth of Zionism are
indissolubly bound up with the exist-
ance and continuance of non-Jewish
agitation and that the admission of
all Jews to equal rights will render
Zionism unnecessary. No doubt, the
Zionist organization counts some ad-
herents who are Zionists by compul-

The united Jewish Strength
can win Palestine NOW.
The great nations of the world
regard the settlement of Pales-
tine by the Jewish People as a
necessary part of permanent
peace.
But They Must Be
Sure That the Jews
Want Palestine!
They are asking the Jews:
Do You Want Palestine
That the Jews May Live
as a Free People?
The Jews must answer this

question.

sion and not by conviction; who will
tell you that the raison d'etre of Zion-
ism is the anomalous and unenviable
position which the Jews occupy in
such countries as Russia and Rou-:
mania. The rank and file of Zion-
ists, however, have joined the mdve-
ment not for hysterical but for his-
torical reasons. They are deeply
moved by the misery of their people;
but Zionism means to them some-
thing more—infinitely more than a
solution of economic and political
problems. It is a spiritual movement,
a lofty ideal.
Russian Jewry, groaning under the
yoke of Pharaonic tyranny, has. ren-
dered invaluble service to the cause
of Zionism. Russian Jewry free from
all political disabilities and restric-
tions will be in a position to take up
the work of the liberating of the Jew-
ish soul-with renewed vigor and fresh
energy.
RABBI JUDAH P. LEVIN
The sudden and miraculous appear-
ance of freedom in Russia through
the overthrow of Czar Nicholas' gov-
ernment is an event of great signifi-
cance for the world at large. It will
have a tremendous influence in stimu-
lating the movement towards emanci-
pation in those lands which are still
backward and thus advance world
civilization.
The news is especially happy for
our brethren in Russia. There can
be no doubt that wherever the people
in fact rule, the Jews receive equal
civil and political rights. We may
hope that this change towards demo-
cratic rule in Russia will also facili-
tate the fulfillment of the Zionist aims
in Palestine.
But in the moment of our supreme
joy let us not forget that the Jews
in Russia are still in great distress
and need our continual aid and succor.
We must now more than ever increase
our efforts to alleviate the unfortu-
nate condition of our Brethren in
Europe.

in the principal cities in every state

Wealthy men will be asked to give
amounts equal to thOse which given

The Russian revolution is expected
to furnish impetus to the campaign

JUDGE GEORGE S. HOSMER.
Judge Homier has occupied the po-
sition of Circuit Judge of Wayne
County since he was first elected to
that position in the spring of . 1887—
thirty years of continuous service on •
the bench—a record that he may well
be proud of.
Judge '-losmer was born in Detroit
in 1855 and was educated in-Alm-pub-
lic schools. He attended the Univer-
sity of Michigan and graduated from
the law department in 1875. He was
admitted to the bar in 1878. When he
was 32 years old the electors of
Wayne County chose him for the im-
portant position of Circuit Judge—
certainly a great honor for so young
a lawyer; and to show their apprecia-
tion of his sound judgment and abil-
ity, they have voted to return him to
that position at every judicial election
since that bent. He is not only a
great favorite with the laymen, but
also with his brother lawyers, he hav-
ing received the largest vote in the
recent lawyers' primary for renomin-
ation for Circuit Judge.

the Elliot, Taylor, Woolfenden de-
partment store and is preeminently
equipped to be of service to patrons
of the most exacting taste. Mr. Bagg
has developed a host of friends in
Detroit and his success is practically
assured. •
