never forgotten. And this task is being met with a response
on the part of the people that is most heartening to those who
have the welfare of the institution at heart.
The attendance at services on Sunday morning in particular i
is exceedingly gratifying. The registration in the School of
Religion has made that institution one of the largest in the
country. The people of Beth El have come to feel that the Tem-
ple is a thing meaningful to them and that to support it ade-
quately and generously is not only a duty but a high privilege.
People of all denominations and from every part of the country
are visiting the Temple and they are unanimous in the opinion
not only that Detroit may boast one of the most beautiful and
commodious houses of worship in this country, but as well one
that justifies itself by the fact that it is being constantly used
for the purposes for which it was erected.

The Coming Election.

We have never used this column for the espousal of partisan
politics or for the furtherance of the interests of any individual
in a political campaign. It is only when great principles are at
stake that we speak here of political issues at all. In the elec-
tion next Wednesday at least two principles are at stake. One
refers to the permanence of the Municipal Court whose validity
under the Constitution has been questioned and the other to the
efficient management of the women's division of police work in
this city.
The Municipal Court has by every proper standard by which
its efficiency may be measured, more than justified itself during
the few years of its existence. Any action that might now be
taken to undermine its influence and its standing would be
detrimental to the well being of the whole community. The
same applies to the women's division of the police organiza-
tion. This has been brought to an eminently high state of effi-
ciency. Hundreds of young girls have been saved to self-respect
and social usefulness through the agency of the police women.
They have been spared the humiliation of appearing in open
court and in many ways they have been properly guarded and
helped. Those who come to the polls should therefore be sure
to cast their votes in such fqshion that the permanence of the
Municipal Court and the efficient functioning of the women's
division of police work may be permanently assured.
There is one other matter concerning which we would speak
in connection with the coming election. We have heretofore
in these columns expressed our appreciation of David A. Brown
as man and citizen. We believe personally that if elected to fill
the mayor's chair he will give to the city of Detroit exactly
what he promises—a business administration, an economical ad-
ministration, and a humane administration. We believe that
he possesses rare qualifications to fill with honor to himself
and to this great city the office to which he aspires. There is
not a scintilla of doubt in our minds that if elected, he will give
a good account of himself.
But we speak of Mr. Brown's candidacy in this connection
for this reason: it is sometimes charged that the Jewish press
will uphold any candidate for public office who happens to be
a Jew. We want to say as emphatically as we can that this is
not only untrue but absurd. If a man who happens to be a Jew
and who is a candidate for public office is obviously unfitted
by character, by ability, or by his past record to fill the office,
the Jews ought to be—and usually are—the very first to oppose
his election. When a Jew wins a position of power, all Jews
have something at stake. They simply cannot afford to have in
public office a man who will not make good, because if he fails,
the failure re-acts upon every Jew in the community. No candi-
date for office can possibly hope to win the support of his co-
religionists in any great numbers unless he is better fitted for
that office than any of his competitors. Jews go to the polls
not as Jews but as Americans. As citizens of this great city.
we want the best man who is available to sit in the mayor's
chair. Many of us—the writer included—believe that David A.
Brown is that man.

Religion at Work.

Congregation Beth El has occupied its new building for
practically four months. Some doubt was expressed by those
who did not know conditions that there would ever be a time
when a building so large and so fully equipped would ever be
required in the city of Detroit. It will be of interest therefore.
to know that this building is used on the average by six or seven
thousand people per week, the high water mark having been
reached last Sunday when approximately four thousand people
passed through its doors in a single day. The constant use that
is being made of every part of the new Temple's equipment
indicates beyond the peradventure of doubt that the building
of this vast structure was necessary and it justifies—if any such
justification were ever necessary—the money, the time, and the
energy that were put into its construction.
The Temple has become a center for the Jewish life of a
very considerable portion of the community. It is a beehive of
activity along religious, educational, social, recreational and
philanthropic lines. And this is as it should be. Here is re-
ligion at work—religion that touches every phase of life. More-
over, it is worth stressing that with all the varied forms of work
that are carried on within the precincts of the Temple, the
prime task of the congregation to teach and preach religion is
