You can write thin down as an absolute truth: that Ford and the
Dearborn Independent have shot their bolt; that their circulation has
de: eased; that they have conipletely lost out on their frameop; that
decent people no longer read it; that the important publications of the
country now treat it as another of those pecular outbreaks of Henry

over; and all that is to be done is to hang a crepe on the adventure

In the death of J. Walter Frieberg American Jewry has lost one of
its most valuable members. Ile was one of the representative Jewish
laymen of the country who believed in the necessity for the promotion
of congrgational life. He was president of the Union of American
Hebrew Congregations, a member of the American Jewish Committee,
But aside
•vice-president of the National Hospital for Consumptives.
from these offices Mr. Frieberg took an active personal interest in all
worthy Jewish causes not alone in Cincinnati but throughout the
country. Ile was the type of Jew who was a credit to the Jew.

The most talked of writer in the Jewish press these days is Walter
Hurt. His articles have been very illuminating from a non-Jewish
standpoint, because while Mr. Hurt is • Gentile he is not • Christian
in the sense of beleving in the Christian idea of religion. There have
been many inquiries received regarding who and what Walter Hurt ia.
Since his articles appear in all the journals in which "Random
Thoughts" appear, I thought my readers would be glad to hear some-
thing of the man who has created in much discussion in Jewish com-

munities.

Walter Hurt is of Welsh-English extraction, is a native of Georgia
and comes from Revolutionary stock, his ancestors having been mem-
bers of the original Oglethorpe colony, which he tells me contained
at least one family of Jews, Minis by n•me. And he is profoundly
thankful that he is of Cavalier and not of Puritan breed. He was
reared by Orthodox Christian parents and in • rigid religious atmos-
phere. He says: "From my first recollection, however, I was strongly
predisposed toward Judaism and keenly interested in its mission as ex-
pounded by the early prophets. At the age of 14, though my reading
and personal associations were so carefully supervised that I never had
seen or heard a word in opposition to the Christian faith, I rejected
the Chrstian idea as irrational and formed my awn conclusions regard-
ing religion. In consequence I became something of a family outcast."

So one begins to understand why Mr. Hurt can write as he does
and to think as he does. The greater Dart of his life has been devoted
to journalism and he has been on the editorial staffs of the leading
newspapers in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and other large cities.
He was at one time city editor of the Rocky Mountain News and
asssitant city editor of the Denver Post. He is now retired from active
daily newspaper work and devotes himself to mag•sine and newspaper

syndicate work.

Isn't it strange the number of Jews who were not for • great many
years identified with Jewish communal life or took interest in any-
thing Jewish who have become leading figures in the Zionist move-
ment? It's really worth • volume and I do hope that some one will
write on that moat interesting and pug:ling phase of Zionist develop-
ment. When one thinks of Brandeis and K•Ilen and Untermyer as
Zionist leaders, one is forced to gasp. Intellectual leadership, yes,
but is it intellectual Jewish leadership? And not alone in this country
but abroad we find the same peculiar condition, Jews who were not

D, Simon Baruch, father of Barney Baruch, whose death was
chronicled last week, was • crank on the subject of bathing. He be-
lieved that bathing prolonged human life and that one couldn't take
too many baths. He was instrumental in establishing municipal baths
in many cities. He helped preach the doctrine of cleanliness in many
settlements over the country. Once he entered into • controversy with
