I looked into the faces of the young people I met, many of whom were Jewish. The faces usually did not satisfy me. They were often hard, often unsatisfied; often they were coarse. The young boys and young girls did not hare in their faces the idealism which one looks for in the faces of the youth. Not only the sense of sight was offended, but also the sense of hearing through the ruth- less vivisection of the English lan- guage, the vulgar intonations and the coarse voices. If this be truly the youth of America, this youth which has the fate of America in its hold, then the future is ominous. If this be truly typical of our Jewish youth, and those. be the trustees of our Jew- ish future in America, then we must take a new line of action in facing which exerts a mighty pull on the build up an organization which shall hearts of the Jewish youth of Ameri- cover the country with its work and ca.

C s Having followed the course of the Yiddish press thus far, the question arises, What of the future? I can- not answer this question as regards Europe, for I have no first-hand knowledge of the situation there; but, as for America, I venture to say this If restriction of immigration becomes the settled policy of the United States, the Yiddish press will not long survie THE JEW'S SUCCESS IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL osh Hashona Greetings The frequently phenomenal sac sass of the Jew is one of the com- pensations of history in which God', moral influence is thus manifest. The philosophy of that success is simple. The Jew has been refused opportun- ity so king that when it comes it means more to him than it does to others who have not been similarly denied and so he applies himself the more lustily and works the more in- dustriously and intensely.

It is thus that a just God has protected him and, in your restless resentment of him, punished you.

UNTHINKING PREJUDICES A non-Jew that fails to respect a Jew whose Jewish loyalty is a conse-1 quence of intelligent conviction ex- pressed in creditable conduct is him- self entitled to much less respect. Whoever fails or refuses to value such conviction in others proclaims' his own poor pettiness in being ruled by prejudice. The Jew who is swayed by the unthinking prejudice of others instead of by the thought- ful principles of his own people is deserving of the contempt of his own people as well as that of others.— Alexas.der Lyons.
