Theodore Herd

BY ISRAEL ZANGWILL

You dreamed a dream and you have paid the cost:
To save a people, leaders must be lost:
By foes and followers be crucified,
Yet 'tis your body only that has died.
The noblest soul in Judah is not dust
But fire that works in every vein and must
Reshape our life, rekindling Israel's pride.

So we behold the captain of our strife
Triumphant in this moment of eclipse:
Death has but fixed him to immortal life,
His flag upheld, the trumpet at his lips;
And while we, weeping, rend our garment's hem,
"Next year," we cry, "next year, Jerusalem."

Judge Harry Keidan deserves any encomiums we may heap upon
his head. Ile has been mein
the bench in Detroit only a short
while, but during his tenure of office he has shown hitnself to be so
efficient—so broad-minded and so just that the entire community of
Detroit feels itself to be highly congratulated upon having such a
capable representative as the leader of its Municipal Court.
Keidan took office at a time when crime was rampant,
when Judge

when it was quite the usual thing for automobiles to disappear by
the hundreds and thousands through the year, when people left their
homes at night not knowing whether they %yould return and find
their belongings intact.
.
Judge Keidan proceeded by M straight-forward, fearless demon-
stration of the law to correct these conditions, and be it to his
eternal credit, he has in great measure accomplished the goal he
wished to attain. He has made the criminal element in this city
rcognize the fact that no man can break the law with impunit y.
