thing that I em in
i absolute accord with and that it is an un-
say, 01,
desirable situation to have over half of the entire population of Jews
ountry living in New York. No fair-minded person will dis•
in this c
that statement. I have else.s felt that if the leaders of Jewry
pu l e
in this country wanted to render a real service to their fellow re-
ligionists they would plan some way of preventing nearly all the Jews
who !mid in this country remaining in New York.

Years ago when I took this • position I was yelled at by that ele-
ment who yell at everybody who refuse to see things as they do. But
esult of their shortsightedness, of their unutterbale stupidity is
the r
found in the present stringent immigration laws. Hendrik says the
same thing. There is no reason in the world why the Jews should herd
in New York. There is plenty of opportunity in other narts of the
country. But why waste good pap, and ink, not to say energy, in
bringing these truths to the know-it-sills who are to be found in such
great numbers in the greatest Know•it-all .lowish community in the
world New York. In the meantime I wish that maoarine publishers
would please, PLEASE leave us done for a while. We are tired of
reading about ourselves—and I can't imagine anyone other than Henry

Ford finding much interest in such articles.

Our drooping spirits are revived and we begin to believe that after
all our typewriter is pounded every week to some good purpose, when

• letter like this is laid on our desk:

- Here is such a wonderful tribute to your pen that I can-
not keep it it secret. 'f his week I was at Folsom Prison, about
25 nudes up in the mountains, north of Sacramento. I addressed
20 Jewish boys there, out of 1,200 inmates, who have banded
together into what is called the Future Club. They have written
their own contribution and are thus helping one another. At
every meeting of the Future Club a part of the hour is devoted
to a discussion of "Random Thoughts." Doesn't that make you
feel that you are doing something worth while?

Yea, it does, Rabbi Coffee, and I thank you!

We hear much of Christian charity, of Christian gentleness, of
Christian goodness, of Christian virtue that many seem to forget
that charity and gentleness and goodness and virtue are human
rather than Christian. Nathan Straus is ■ Jew and so I might say

that the following statement made on his seventy-fifth birthday, which
he celebrated last week in Atlantic City, should be credited to Jewish
charity, Jewish gentleness, Jewish goodness and so on and so forth:

"I am seventy-five years old but I feel ten years younger
than I did ten years ago because I have given no much of my
money to those WHO NEED IT WORSE THAN 31YSELF. If
all rich people knew the pleasure of giving they would do su.
When I die I shall leave only a little for my children."

Mr. Straus could have added very properly that he has given not
only "so Much of my money" but SO MUCH OF MY LIFE—for he
has rendered greet service for his fellow men OF ALL CREEDS.
May this righteous soul bespared for many years to come!

A gentleman by the name of Lewis Browns writes an interesting
letter to the Nation. Mr. Browne lives in Waterbury, Conn., but as
names mean but little in these days of quick changes 1 don't know
whether Mr. Browne is • Jew or ■ Christian—but it matters little

which. I submit it for discussion and consideration to the next con-
vention of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations and the
Central Conference of American Rabbis. Here it is:

"In Christendom Dr. Grant is being damned for heresy, and

at the same time in Jewry, the Union of American Hebrew Con-

gregations holds its Golden Jubilee convention. The coinci-
dence is worthy of note because the Union represents a religion
which, though antedating the Episcopal Church by millenia, is
yet young enough not to comprehend even the possibility of
heresies. No theological radicalism short of the crudest atheism
could put a reform rabbi in danger of dismissal. A critical
attitude toward the Bible and all ritual, far from being re-
garded a secret vice, an inexplicable perversion, to be locked
in the nethermost recesses of his heart, is expected and de-
manded of him. As a result the liberal rabbi is enabled to do
his work of guidance and friendliness without hypocrisy or res-
ervation; and as a further result he is in many communities
thruoghuut the land gaining a significant following nut alone
of Jews but also of intelligent Christians."

Now comes Part 2 of the letter, which is even more interesting:

"But according to certain of its leaders liberal Judaism is
not yet sufficiently liberal. It is at present too markedly a rich
man's religion, too distinctly a fashionable cult. Consequently
its progressiveness is confined to matters of theology and ritual
and fails to flood the fields of economics and industry where
there is drought and sore need of water today. The pillars
of theo-
of the 'temples' will not bat an eyelid at the wildest
logical heresies; but they grow stiff and stony at the mildest
political radicalism. Even no guarded a liberal as Rabbi
Stephen Wise is looked upon by many of the laity as a 'Bolshe-
vist.' The newer generation of rabbis, of course, is leading
the revolt, and just as Isaac M. Wise and his colleagues than-
ago so do
&red against Orthodoxy in ritual half a century
these younger rabbis cry out against it in economics. Perhaps
it is in large part because these younger rabbis are still in the
minority that so many American Jews are still unsynagogued.
Perhaps if the ministry, both Christian and Jewish, were ut-
terly free to preach the truth, these 'back to the Church' and
'hack to the synagogue' movements would not only be greatly
accelerated but would in brief time become altogether un-
necessary."

Quite a letter, Brother Browne, quite a letter!

It was the purest coincidence that after having written the pre-
New York paper and find that
riding paragraphs I should pick up a

IA ell, Shakespeare didn't know it all, after all, did he? There is
more to the name of Braunstein than one would give it credit for.

Hendrik Willem van Loon has written the story of the Bible when
published in book form will create • greater sensation and far more
discussion than even Dr. Grant's heretical utterances. Van Loon
tells Bible stories in • manner that will shock the sensibilities of those

Will Submit Minority Report
Against 1890 Census
Clause.

Notice

WASHINGTON—(J. T. Al.—
Coogressmen Siegel and Sabath, mem-

bers of the House Immigration Com-
mittee, announced they would file a
minority report against the 1890 cen-
sus clause in the house committee's
immigration bill which would restrict
the number of immigrants from any
country to two per cent of residents
in the United States in the year 1890,
as compared with the present 3 per
cent quota of nationals according to
the 1910 census.
Little credence is given to reports
that the results of this measure
would virtually halve the number en-
tering at present, as one of the clauses
of the measure provides that certain
classes of relatives may obtain exemp-
tion from the quota restrictions. The
hill provides for the admission of the
wife, father, mother, unmarried minor
children, unmarried minor brother or
sister of a citizen of the United States,
also of the unmarried minor or-
phan, niece or nephew of a citizen of
the United States. An immigrant who
is the husband, wife or an unmarried
child of an alien, who has been per.
manently admitted to this country
1 1 would also be permitted to come in.
1 Exemption from the quota is also
' :node in favor of skilled laborers of
any class in which a shortage may
exist in the U sited States. The Se•-
retary of Labor is given discretion to
determine if such a shortage exists. It
is considered probable that needle
workers will be included in the skilled
labor class, although it is doubles' if
a large number will be admitted by
the
labor department. Ministers of
'
religion, their wives and minor chil-
dren are also exempt.
The number who may he able to
take advantage of the exemption fa
relatives of citizens may bring the
aggregate of immigrants admissible
above the present 3 per cent quota,
but this is purely :in estimate.
Obiection was made by Congress-
man Siegel to the use of the year 1890
AS the basis, on the ground that this
would discriminate against immi-
grants from Russia, Poland and coun-
tries of Eastern Europe.

Presents Himself As Candidate for
Mayor on • Business Adminis•

David A. Brown, one of the candi-
dates who is seeking the nomination
fur mayor at the primary election to
be held on March 7, spoke to several
thousand employes of the Burroughs

on the principal issues of the cam-

Mr. Brown emphasized two points:
first, that municipal ownership of
street railways is here to stay, and
that the service must he brought to

and, second, that to carry out the ex
