deals with his other equally dumb friend.

The Liberator in the July issue says:
"The search for a complete political idiot for President has un-
avoidably led to the door of Henry Ford."
Who can add anything to this complete statement?
This letter is dated San Francisco, but it was • mistake, it should have
been "Gopher Prairie"—and instead of the writer's name being Paul Find.
lay it should have been the Rev. Dr. Bowlby. Thin 100 per cent Zip Zowie
writes to the magaaine known •s the Modern Merchant and Grocery World,
somewhat thusly:
"I am strong for restricted immigration. I have urged united
action by grocers on this vital question for two reasons: First, be-
cause it would be a wonderful benefit to our country—and I know
that grocers are 'Americans First!' • . . One resolution in Kan-
sas City in 1921, deplored the presence of 'foreigners' in the gro-
cery business; surely a condition bad for our business must be bad
for our country."
All right, Mr. Babbitt. What's bad for the grocery business—"the pros.
ence of 'foreigners?'" Do they compete too keenly with you? What do
you mean by "Americans first?" Don't you know that any man who writes
such an un-American letter as you don't know any more about Americanism
--the Americanism of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln or Roosevelt—than
the former kaiser? Who made you the original 100 per cent American?
What right do you have to arrogate to yourself the privilege of saying who
should or should not get into this country? My, my, some of us grocers
do think • lot of ourselves. I ■ m sure that the Huston grocery firm of
Pittsburgh, Pa., would be delighted with Mr. Findlay's letter. Mr. Findlay's
historical knowledge is only equalled by that other eminent authority on
history, Mr. Henry Ford. Read this delightful bit:
"All history is cluttered with records of high civilizations sub-
merged by the influx of barbarous or semi-civilized hordes of no lower
average intelligence than those dumped by Eastern steamship corn-
panics daily at Ellis Island."
Mr. Findlay, you may be an excellent grocer, but as for your knowledge
of history and Americanism—please go away and let me sleep!

duly six months ago, Rabbi Fischer
experienced difficulties in obtaining
his release from the First Hungarian
Congregation Aguilath Achim in Chi-
cago, which he served for the past 20
years, earning the esteem and attach-

made his parting painful.
Rabbi Fischer comes to this city lif-

Chicago communal life, recommended
