(Copywright, 1921.

By Chas. Fi. Joseph.)

It is • pity that the Jews of America had to take up • spirited
defense of one of those "Jews by birth"—Cadet Kaplan of Annapolis.
If the editor of the Year Book hadn't made references to Kaplan as
a Jew and thus catalogued him—something apparmitly he himself
didn't want—it would never have been made a Jewish issue. Admiral
Wilson writes to the American Israelite that Kaplan gave as answer
to the question "Religion?" "None." As an individual he isn't worth

the space that was given to him, but because he was dragged into the
open as a Jew the issue had to be made. I would like Kaplan to
know this: That Jews of his type who are either "too smart" to have
a religion or who wish to hide the fact that they are Jews are not
wanted by Jews and from evidence at hand the Christians haven't
any use for them, either. I am sure that by this time Kaplan under-
stands that so far as the world is concerned he is a Jew. I hope some
reader of this column who knows Kaplan will clip this out and send it

to him.

I have read the article of Rabbi Martin Zielonka of El Paso, Tex.,
on Mexico's offer to the Jews (in American Israelite) with closest
attention. What the rabbi says (and he ought to know of what he is
talking, since he has lived for 20 years on the American border) should
be given earnest consideration by all the agencies in this country in.

An employee of the National Lib-
rary, Jerusalem, who had formerly
worked in the New York Public Lib-
rary, obtained from the employees of
the Public Library a present of a
typewriter for the National Library
and a promise to help in the future.
On this occasion, l'rofessor Richard
Gottheil, Professor for Semitic
guages in Columbia University and
Director of the Eastern Department
of the Public Library, published a let-
ter in the Library paper of which the
following is an excerpt.
"The typewriter is here and ready
to be shipped in a few days to Jeru-
salem. Nor is this all. The type-
writer, in itself, is a small matter, I

has a value far greater than the mon- ,
•y spent upon it. From out of Pales-
tine have come two books that have
profoundly affected the religious con-
science of that which we call the civi-
lied worlzd. Now, many books are go-
ing into that land—bunks that are the
product of the civilization, that these
two great books have built up. They
need care; and it is delightful to know
that from out of one of the youngest
of the modern great nations a librar-
ian is to bring the message and sym-
etry that all collections of books need.
As that land, to which this message
is going to is beloved by all—of some
just a wee bit more than of others—
we rejoice at the service that the'New
York Public Library is able to ren-
der."

Gentile:

Said the reader (a woman): "I think the Ku Klux Klatt
ought to be supressed."
Said the Gentile: "Why should you oppose such a move-
ment?"
The answer: "Because I do not believe in masked govern-
ment; it is un-American."
Said the Gentile: "The Ku Klux opposes the Catholics be-
cause they put the Pope first above the United States."
Asked the woman: "What have they against the Jews?"
Answer: "Because they put God above the United States."

So why attempt to argue with minds such as those? One now
begins to understand how such an organisation, with gibberish that
an illiterate colored man in the South would be above using, can
attract so many presumably intelligent men. They are fanaticsnd
absolutely"hipped" on the subject of race and religious prejudice.
If you want to know what amazing nonsense sensible men can stand

for, just read the next paragrph.

This is the beginning and the end of an official document issued by
the Imperial Wizard, William Joseph Simmons, notifying the Klan of
the selection of Lizzie Tyler as Grand Chief.of•Staff:

"To all Genii, Grand Dragons and Hydras of Realms, Grand
Goblins and Kleugles of Domains, Grand Titans and Furies of
Provinces, Giants, Exalted Cyclops and Terrors of Klantons,
and to all citizens of the Invisible Empire Knights of the Ku
Klux Klan, in the name of our valiant, venerated dead, I affec-
tionately greet you."

Letter From Professor
Richard Gottheil.

Dr. John Roach Straton, the New York sensationalist, has switched
from having public debates in church with Billy Brady, and attacking
the Jews, to condemning those of his fellow Baptists who seem to
believe that some parts of the New Testament may properly be ques-
tioned. Straton in his usually unbalanced manner accuses them of
being infidels in the manner of Tom Paine, Voltaire and Ingersoll. If
anything were needed to confirm every sensible person's opinion of
Straton's fanaticism, it is in such a statement. The Stratons of the
Christian church are responsible for its unprogressive and irreligious
attitude toward the problems of life.

RABBI COFFEE ADDRESSES
MOST UNIQUE GATHERING

On an improvised platform, over-
looking the Toulumne river hundreds
of feet behAv, and high up in the Sier-
ra Nevada mountains of California,
Rabbi Rudolph I. Coffee, of Temple
Sinai, Oakland, California, addressed
it most unique gathering last Sunday
night. Over 250 campers and tourists
from all parts of America were in the
audience, the folks having come to at-
tend a Sunday Twilight Service which
had been arranged by the campers in
that vicinity.
Doctor Coffe spoke on "Religious
Lessons From Nature" and pointed
out that only the man who has seen
God in nature can be truly and gen-
uinely religious. What does the city
dweller know of God's majesty? Man,
with all his marvellous achievements,

Other lessons which Doctor Coffee
referred to were that God never works
in a hurry. These great boulders and
high pines were only created after
hundreds of years. Man may amass
a fortune over night, but the making
of character requires generations,
that is part of the divine plan.
s
God plays no favorites in nature. All
the shrubs water streams and rocks
are part of a well ordered design and
plan. And finally in this Nature spot
we see the servants of God all har-
moniously co-operating together, each
in its place. The stars above, the riv-
ers below, and the grasses on earth all
contribute to making this a habitable
place for man.
