Smith was elected on Nov. 4, it was not until Nov. 21 that all questions as to his elec- tion were removed. We offer him our sincere felicita- tions. Ilis election is significant in view of the issues involved and the methods employed. Charles Bowles asked a recount. The recount showed discrepancies in the unofficial count which gave Smith thousands of additional votes, while the mutila- ted, defaced and improperly marked ballots which were probably intended for Bowles were many thou- sands more. Who and why Bowles in the last mayoralty elec- tion? From an obscure lawyer who was generally con- sidered before the primary as an added starter, he be- came a most formidable candidate, so formidable in- deed that he polled over 100,000 votes out of the 300,- 000 cast and this strength was shown, while not official- ly, in the ballot. If his backers and friends had prop- erly estimated his strength he woult, not have been a sticker candidate but one of the two candidates chosen at the non-partisan primary. Only after the primary did his friends, promoters and sympathizers recognize his strength and then it was too late, for they were un- able to educate the electorate to the point Where the electorate could vote intelligently and accurately. And who were those of the electorate supporting Bowles? Admittedly, the Ku Klux Klan, the 100 per cent Nor- dic, Protestant American groups were behind him to the last man and woman. This superior group, which would exclude aliens because they are not assimilable, had not sufficient intelligence or a knowledge of their native speech to mark a ballot correctly and conse- quently their ignorance defeated their own candidate. The managers of the Bowles campaign should have spent less time in breaking up meetings at Arena Gar- dens and less time should have been spent in their se- cret meetings at Danceland and more time spent in teaching these greater breeds how to spell the name of their candidate and to discover the mysteries and in- tricacies of a ballot. In this case pride surely did go before a fall. What upholder of the sacred Nordic creed would admit that he or she could not mark a ballot correctly? And yet more than 1•,000 Were mutilated and incor- rectly marked. All of this happened in Detroit and not in one of the Southern States, which are supposed to have a monopoly on illiteracy. And yet with such an astounding amount of illiteracy it is not at all stir- ', prising that the Ku Klux Klan has such an apparent strength in this community. No soil is better suited for a plentifell harvest of Klanism than ignorance and illiteracy. The Klan leaders are faced with a dilemma. If they educate these dupes and ignoramuses they will lose them as members, and if they do not, there is al- ways the hazard that they will be unable to vote cor- rectly and, consequently, elections will be. lost. Dis- comfiture and chagrin must be the twin feelings of the Bowles managers, but Nve can hardly say we sympa- thize with them. We are exceedingly pleased with the result. John W. Smith, the mayor-elect of the city of Detroit, is above racial. religious and national differ- ences. Ile is the representation of all the people of De- troit and shall give an excellent account of himself. His administration will be on a par with the excellent administration of his predecessors. Detroit will con- tinue as a progressive municipality where the best in democracy will prevail. We can honestly say to John W. Smith that the citi- zens of Detroit of the Jewish faith who supported his candidacy Wish him a successful administration. Even Death Has Its Uses. There is no intent to be whimsical or even paradoxi- cal but it is merely the wish to state a pertinent fact that prompts us to inquire into the uses of death. The passing of two supreme artists, Anatole France and Joseph Conrad, provokes this expression. Both these men were generally known during their lifetime, but since their death the Interest excited and curiosity aroused have brought them to the notice of all who have but a passing concern in literature and a casual interest in psychologic studies. Anatole France was made a member of the French Academy for the excellence of his unique literary work and was then expelled from the same academy for his penetrating. revealing shafts directed against the hy- pocrisy and mendacity in French life. Anatole France, of whom it was said that love, pity and understanding were so exquisitely blended that he was at once partici- pant in all the varied human activities which surround- ed him; cynical critic of all the duplicity, superficiality and buncombe of which there is such a super-abun- dance in French politics; father confessor, guide and adviser of the wistful, burdened spirits who ever sought to bring the millennium in their own day; defender of the persecuted and calumniated, never asking what race, creed or nationality was theirs. Ile was natural- ly a Dreyfusard in those stormy. hectic days of French anti-Semitism and in his last days was a defender of the Communists, for he conceived them to be the de- fenders of a new faith against whom the poisoned ar- rows of hatred and reaction were directed. To all this was added a catholicity of view, a scholarship so rare and profound that made him at once the delight and disturbance of scholars and aesthetes. His mastery ex- tended from archaeology and theology to economics and social science. Loaded with gifts that which no man had greater he possessed a •style which for delicacy. strength and fragile beauty has never been equalled. He could paint on broad canvas with a riot of color, or tr k. 114,,ii Ltd- re. he could do the most painstaking etching which requir- ed that meticulous accuracy and detail achieved only by the most consummate artists. "'rho Crime of Sylvester Bonnard" and "The Revolt of the Angels" indicate one range, while "The Confess- ions of Abbe Coignard" and "The Isle of the Penguins" shows yet another. Whether it he a tale for children, or those who are children in spirit though grown to adulthood, or if it be in a satirical vein bordering on the cynical, the spirit of h ve, pity and understanding can always be found unmistakably woven in the fab- ric. Although Anatole France saw the devil's fruit of the caiastrophe of war and had been persuaded that hatred, malice, envy and vanity ruled the world, yet he unhesitatingly joined with those who raised the ban- ner of love, generosity and good will. He left a legacy to mankind which will gladden and ennoble for many centuries. his death created such a widespread and deep stir that many who had not known of the treasure which he had piled up during his lifetime and was theirs for the taking first came to know this genius and genuine lover of humanity. But above and before all Anatole France was 4111 artist, the maturest product of it sophisticated, artistic milieu. Ile labored and cre- ated out of his materials. works with the definite stamp of artistic genius and let one not imagine that the smooth flowing, magnificent periods of Anatole France were a facile accomplishment for, in truth, they were the result of persistence, patience, endless study and mastery of the minutest detail of his art. If Anatole France chose his name out of egregious vanity he was rather modest, for his artistry encompasses not only a country but a whole world. The other genius who died at about the same time was Joseph Conrad, a native of Poland who went to sea. This fact had a greater bearing upon the life of Joseph Conrad than any other. The sea, that brooding, stormy, fickle, silent, endless expanse where men who live tleeply probe to the very heart of things enabled Joseph Conrad to discover the stuff of which men are made. And how well he plumbed the depths can best be learned from a reading of his masterpiece, "Lord Jim." Hamlet is a tragic figure, sicklied o'er by the pale cast of thought, a strange figure who broods and is ever racked by indecision, poisoned by an act of weakness, but Lord Jim of Joneph Conrad is even a more grim and tragic figure in his corroded loneliness among, a strange people. "Almayers Folly," "The Nig- ger of the Narcissus," "Romance," "Nostromo," "Un- der Western Eyes" and "The Heart of Darkness" are tales which bring to us all the tragedies of Shakes- peare, but the people are flesh and blood, called into being out of a world of every-day life. The fundamen- tal human emotions of love!, fear, hatred; the devasta- ting influence of cowardice, indolence, indecision and avarice are pictured by an artist who saw his human- ity naked, read its inmost thoughts. felt its vagrant emotions and put down in most exquisite, richly hued English all these thoughts, feelings. nightmares and vagaries. English was not his native tongue, but his mastery of it was so complete that many are of the opinion that he was the greatest master of the English idiom among all the writers of English fiction. 'When Conrad picked his victitit he pursued him with the relentless persistence of the fates and furies. Not a nuance escaped him, not the minutest change in the whole range of emotions was deleted, all the vicis- situdes were noted and examined, the victim had been psycho-analyzed. dissected and all the ugly passions, greeds, hatreds and envies were exhibited. But all this was done without any moralizing puritanism; it was clone by all artist whose only and chief concern was to draw the picture as he saw it. To some, Joseph Conrad is an even greater artist than Anatole France for the reason that there is no moralizing or propaganda of any sort in his writing. His is the detached observant, creative work of a man living in a rather circumscribed world. His keen intel- lect, aesthetic appreciation, sensitized vision and hear- ing enabled him to bring to life the people with whom he lived intimately. And despite all this wonderful artistic ability of the man, he wrote "Almayers Folly" seven years before it was published. Ile was so modest that he hesitated to offer this masterpiece of an indo- lence-bitten white man to the world; that it was only after the most insistent persuasion that he offered it for publication. This modesty characterized the man even to the very last. Just before his death he visited Am- erica. He was amazed and actually thrilled by New York and when asked the usual questions which inter- viewers put to celebrities from Europe he refused to comment fur he felt too deeply to express an opinion upon a matter of which he had so little knowledge. Alen who find life so difficult and complex as did Jos- eph Conrad, men to whom every line written was ac- companied by the travail and sweat of birth, are not so ready tog ive blanket judgments upon all subjects. Conrad unwittingly described himself most adequate- ly when he said men should be emotionally proud and intellectually humble. This he truly was. He com- bined emotional pride and intellectual humility in charming proportions. Both men have passed to their everlasting rest. The world is richer for their having been with us. Their death, shocking as death always is. has brought them to the attention of those who would know' more of life so that they too may become rich with love, pity and understanding and he filled with emotional pride and intellectual humility. Indian Summer Sometimes when grey November pauses for a while To let a sheaf of summer days come through, I stop a bit to greet them gayly and to wonder What makes an autumn sky so kindly blue. Before old Winter frowns upon the earth, One little golden summer smile is with us still, Even though the trees are shaken of their plumage And a bald spot shows above the forehead of the hill. Then the morning mists are made of fairy fabrics And painted by the good grey elvps, it seems, Until one day the wind turns mean and cutting. And our mock summer days have gone to sleep and pleasant dreams. HATTIE MORRIS telarRIMIIIIIIIM . AS WE GO ALONG Survival Or Extinction---Problem Of Jewry By ELISHA M. FRIEDMAN. D'oPYright I 924 .rilE world this year will face a A shortage of 514,000,000 bushels of bread grain, according to the In- ternational Institute of Agriculture in Rome, and the urgency of the Euro- pean demand for wheat and rye will become accentuated as the months pass by. The International Institute proceeds to analyze the world's grain situation and to present precisely what the human race may depend on to yield its daily bread. Reading a newspaper item in which the cereal resources of the world are stated by the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome, an item which, obscure though it may be in an inner part of a newspaper, tells the immemorial story of mankind's struggle for the staff of life, one does not at once realize that this insti- tute is the handiwork of a far-visioned American Jew, one of the most cre- ative minds which American Jewry has produced. And only one in ninny will recall that this man, David Lubin, an immigrant lad many years ago, was a merchant prince in San Fran- cisco. David Lubin could not rest content with mere personal nurses. To him had come the thought of performing two services. One of these was to bring together the nations to that they might regard the world's grain supply from the point of view of the needs of the world rather than from a standpoint of selfish gain on the part of the grain producing coun- tries. The other was to stimulate the production of sufficient essential grain in order that mankind plight have more rather than less of the grains which constitute the bask of the food supply. Why Mr. Lubin chose Rome as the seat of the institute is not known for a certainty, unless it was the thought that in inid-Europe, where food defic- its have been as numerous as its wars and lesser strifes. co-operation in the proper husbanding of the world's grain supply may at some remote day form the basis of a peace beyond the achievement of mere treaty makers. Strides. T b y Jewish Telegraphic Agency./ Bread. HE seminaries in which Jewish theOlOgy as well as the Jewish humaniti e s necessary to effective re- ligious and communal leadership are being taught are noiselessly, though not without inner struggle, making great strides. The fact that these centers of learnintr are extending their usefulness in an unobtrusive way is an occasion for greater satis- faction than were they to resort to spectacular methods. During the last year or two monumental acquisitions have been inatle in collections of re- ligious aril historical books and docu- ment- and ceremonial objects of an Me:11(.1110de value both by the Jewish Theological Seminary snit the Hebrew Union College. Great as these col- lections are, they do not transeend in imfoort11111`0 and in possible influ- ence on Judaism in America the visits of European scholars who are being invited to these shores from the erstwhile centers of Jewish learn- iI1c ill the old world. The Jewish In- stitute of Religion. under the leader- ship of the large-thinking Stephen S. Wise, and the Rabbinical College of ,America, guided by the scholarly Ber- nard Revel, have, each in its own way, recognized the inestimable influence which great teachers exert on young men preparing fur the rabbinical ca- reer or seeking spiritual efficiency through the medium of ample Jewish knowledge, although they have no in- tention of filling pulpits or perform- ing the functions of heads of religious communities. One who for the nonce seems dis- tressed by what seems widespread in- difference and ignorance in the Jew- ish community may be heartened if he will inquire as to what the institu- tions already mentioned, as well as, for example, Dropsie College in Phila- delnhia and the Hebrew Theological College of Chicago, are doing. lie will learn that hundreds of native boys and young men have rallied about the banner of Torah; that scholarly pursuits are being fostered by American .lewish funds; that ever larger efforts are planned by these centers of teaching and learning to bring to the Jewish public something of the nobility, cultural wealth and edification in which the lore of Jude- ism abounds. Language, W E have heard of any number of Jewish immigrants who have come into the possession of a working knowledge of the English language as a result of perennial digging into a Yiddish - English dictionary. Did you ever meet wide-eyed youths or maidens who carry with them wher- ever they go a Harkavy dictionary and refer to it as they read the daily newspaper or listen to conversation? They employ, not infrequently, words that rouses one's risibilities and yet they satisfy, because one realizes that these ambitious young persons typify earnestness of a high and fine qual- ity. But there is one method of learning the Hebrew language, (puritan us if we leave off English and discuss the language which the prophets and the psalmists employed and which the musical lips of children in Palestine utter with an ingratiating easel. which we heartily do not recommend. That method is to follow the trans- literation of Ilebrew words into Eng- lish. as it Is done in certain Anglo- Jewish papers. We understand, of course, that it is the printer's fault if the Hebrew words turn out to be a cross between a soothsayer's in- vocation to the throne-seat of the mysteries and a formula for death- dealing gas in a German treatise on chemistry. Which leads us to suggest that the way for a newcomer to learn Eng- lish is to attend a night school and the proper method far those who wish to acquire a knowledge of Hebrew is to employ a properly equipped in- structor or attend a special class in a school similar to the Kirby Center or the one at Philadelphia and Byron avenues, to speak of schools located in our very own midst.

Before attempting an application of this historic experience to the prob- lems of modern Jewish life, let as con- sider the past value and the future possibilities of the race. Towering above all is the religious contribution o f Israel. Admit, even, the critical doctrine that the God idea in Israel evolved from the n• tion of one of the tribal Fa him until it rovihed the prophetic eu of the immanent cr-til one which bids fair ethical to last all tine., Judaism certainly illciS/11 to till . western world. gate sentributien of Of great ;aim , is ethical ideas and practiots, of a !teethe literature, the approximation to whiise grandeur is the prose of Milton, I.f to philust phis eptimisin in the ultimate good of Providence—•hich seems the goal of much ef midern spiritual as- piratien. Straagely enough, historians have overlooked one big fact in Jewish his- tory. The contribution nr Israel to the culture of the world was made when Israel was fr., e and upon its own soil, and when it limed a normal life. Reading the annals •f this pc tple, one is struck hp the contrast between their fruitfulness in the slier( ',cried before the dispersion mid their comparative sterility in the brig Galuth. The his- tory of Israel befcre 010 fatal crisis was it stet y of action, after it, line of suite rin-;. Creation and ssl f-preser- vat bin, liestetving and hat-banditti:— Oa se are Die antithesus of Jewish his- t v.v. Truly, the golden period in Jewish post Biblical history found the Jews in large communities in Spain--the nearest approach to a normal life on a native soil. In literature Jehudah Halevi found his muse weeping in the land of his fathers. He lived and wrote in the Galuth, but the spirit of his once free fathers moved hint. In an age given to scholasticism and theology, he evolved in the field of abstract thought the philosophic con- cept of monism. ion Gnbirol redncrd the world to three categories, God, matter and will, Hastlai Creseas re- jected utterly this philosophy of Aris- totle, which led Itlaimonides and Ger- sonides into opposite errors, and laid the basis of Spinoza's system. Spi- noza gave us, a priori, a God-filled monism, to which the researches of science are adding abundance of proof. Owing to the anomalous po- sition of the Jewish people, these geni- uses created not freely and normally but were either neglected or attacked by the Jewish community. Rooted in Jewish life, they flowered outside of it. Aside from these irrepressible flashes where conditions approached a normal group life. the story of Is- rael in dispersion is not one of ex- pression but of suppression, not of life but of existence. From the Fiscus Judaicus in the first century down to the Kishineff massacre in Russia, civil disabilities in Roumania and legal re- strictions on Jewish students in east- ern Europe, the tale is a sad com- mentary on the un-Christian spirit of the Aryan race. Nietzsche's "blonde beast" Wan learning his lessons. Anti-Jewkh decrees, the badge of shame, legal restrictions, forced con- versions, interdictions against the study of the Talmud, compulsory at- tendance at Christian sermons, those were the short notes sounded in the dirge of massacre, inquisition and expulsion. The path of the crusade was traced in red, by the blood of Jewish martyrs. The human sacrifices of the auto Ila fe were barometers of the passion and ignorance of Span- ish and Portuguese rulers. The criss- cross path of wandering Jewry reek- tered the accession and death of fanatic kings. If the Jews contrib- uted anything to a world culture in these ages, it was the subjective vir- tues of the human race rather than any objective intellectual contribu- tion. Loyalty to an idea, patience in tense times, these are virtues that are called forth as much by modern needs as ever before. The Jews could not contribute in these ages any more than the rising thermometer can warm the waxing sun. The his- tory of the exiled Jew is the index of growth of Aryan tolerance. In the days of theological specula- tion and religious philosophy Juda- ism affected the Christian theology of Duns Scotus, Thomas Aquinas and Albertus Magnus. With the emergence of Europe from the Dark Ages, the Jews played the role of intellectual intermediaries between Arabs and Christians. A Jew sent by Caliph F. , Safrah to India brought back to Arab- ic Europe the Indian system of nu- merals, now used by us. The first geometry in Christian Europe was a translation from the Hebrew of Abra- ham bar Ilyya, and the first arithme- tic was translated by Ibn Daud. Abra- ham Zacuto, teacher at Salamanca and astronomer royal to King Eman- uel of Portugal, compiled the astron- omical and nautical tables used by Columbus on his voyage of discovery and now preserved at Seville.
