the 200th Lessing-Mendelssohn Anniversary.
The two hundredth anniversaries of the births of
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and Moses Mendelssohn,
now being celebrated, coincidently at the same time,
recall an early incident in the life of the great German
author to prove the genuineness of Lessing's beauty of
soul and his devotion to his life ideal,—to strive for
and advocate religious tolerance.
The character Nathan the Wise was drawn by Less-
in g from the real life, with Mendelssohn as the subject,
but in 1799, thirty years before he wrote his "Nathan
der Weise," and before he had made the acquaintance
of Mendelssohn, he wrote a play, "Die Juclen," the
theme of which is similar to that in "Nathan," and the
hero of which, the "Traveler," was the product of Less-
ing's idealism. This traveler saves a baron and his
daughter from robbers. The baron expressed his de-
sire to have the traveler for his son-in-law. The latter
then reveals that he is a Jew, and the two part with
a common respect for each other, but not until some
discussions of the merits and demerits of Jews.
There isn't the conviction in "The Jews" that marks
the greatest of Lessing's plays, "Nathan the Wise," but
there is great similarity between the two. Compare,
for example, the following from his two plays, written
30 years apart:
IN "NATHAN"
IN "TIIE JEWS"
Friar: Nathan! Nathan! You
Baron: How estimable would

Nathan: We are of one
mind. For that which makes
Traveler: And how admirable
me, in your eyes, a Christian, the Christians, if they all pos-
makes you, in my eyes, a Jew! sessed your qualities!
There is a certain consistency in this comparison
which adds to the greatness of Leasing, the tolerant
Christian. In his youth he framed in "Die Juden" a
defense against the indictment of an entire people for
the wrongs of individuals. And thirty years later he
did not deviate from principle and ideal, but stuck to
conviction of truth. Such consistency makes men great
and makes them live in the history of mankind.
The Alien Registration Measure.
That which has been feared for a number of years
is now threatening to become a reality. The Congress
of the United States has under consideration a bill by
Senator Blease which calls for "voluntary" registration
of aliens. This measure, if adopted, will run us into
the danger of even more drastic measures, calling for
compulsory registrations, and they, in turn, are certain
to muzzle the rights of all American residents, wheth-
er citizens or not.
It is clear that in the event of compulsory alien reg-
istrations, all people will be subject to embarassments
a id inconveniences worthy of Russia of the Czars and
n !t of these free United States. For, how will govern-
ment officials, or police officers, or whatever force will
be placed in charge of checking up on aliens, be able
to differentiate between a citizen and an alien? And
so long as it is impossible to establish a basis of dif-
ferentiation, a system of registrations will make it pos-
sible for any man or woman to be hailed into court to
prove his or her identity. This may, in turn, lead us to
fingerprinting men and women as if they were crimi-
nals, and should this come about it will be a period, of
woe for the great American principles.
Immigrant stock, or children of immigrants, are
now reconciled to the fact that America's doors are to
be closed to those who may desire to come in from
other lands. But why make life miserable for those
already here? We want them to become assimilated
with the American environment, but by introducing
laws that persecute we only make the task of making
American citizens more difficult. Instead of encour-
aging the unnaturalized to become citizens, American
leaders threaten them with fingerprinting and want
them registered as if they were criminals. Surely, this
was not the spirit of the founders of the Republic!
Surely, Americans of today are not going to sink to
such reaction!
TheShades of Czarism.
That the spirit of the Czar continues to rule in Po.
ind is evidenced by the following cable:
WARSAW, Feb. 9.—(Jewish Telegraphic Agency.)—
Solomon Horowitz, a resident of the village of Siennica in
the district of Minsk-Mazowiecki, was elected sheriff of
the village on Jan. 25, but was barred from taking office by
a decision of the District Governor.
The District Governor refused to confirm Horowitz's
election on the basis of an old Czaristic law, according to
which Jews are barred from the offices of sheriff or judge
in such villages or counties where the population is riot
entirely Jewish.
For many months, Jewish Deputies in the Polish
Sejm have made interpellations calling for the blotting
out of the shades of the Czars which continue to rule
the statute books of the new Republic. In spite of the
government's claims that these rules no longer exist,
the newest incident with the sheriff of Siennica is liv-
ing proof that Poland is not being ruled by the spirit
:.of modern times, but by the spirit of the dead Czars.

Dr. Weizmann's Illness.
For a time the report that Dr. Chaim Weizmann is
at a santitarium in Wales caused grave anxiety in Jew-
ish communities everywhere. The denial by Felix Ros-
enblueth, secretary for organization of the World Zion-
ist Executive, that the illness of this great Jewish lead-
er is serious, has helped to allay the fears that gripped
the hearts of many thousands. Jewry can ill afford to
lose the services of Dr. Weizmann, whose name will
live not only for his efforts for Palestine, but as well
for his great achievement in making possible the ap-
proach to unity in Jewish ranks. We join in wishing
Dr. Weizmann a speedy recovery.
Teaching Religion in the Schools.
The bill that is pending in the Michigan Legislature
to legalize Bible reading and Bible classes in the pub-
lic schools of the state is, in effect, a virtual revival of
attempts to introduce religion in our schools and there-
by to undermine the holiest American principle which
guarantees freedom of worship. It should in turn,
therefore, stimulate an opposition to the bill to prevent
the passage of anything that would spell bigotry and
that might pave a way for forcing a religion different
from the faith of the children attending our schools
upon them.
The Michigan Catholic, in a recent issue, ably at-
tacked the proposed measure. Two paragraphs from
this editorial also sum up the Jewish viewpoint. Our
Catholic contemporary stated:
The Jews, who form a considerable element of our
population, do not consider the New Testament divinely
inspired. Consequently, would they not have cause for
complaint if their children were compelled to study parts
of the Bible which they reject?
Catholics, belonging to the oldest Christian denomina-
tion, the one which brought the Bible down from apostolic
days, could demand that their version be used in the
schools. But in this state the King James or revised
(Protestant) version probably would be made the text for
compulsory reading. This would be objectionable to
Catholics, who consider even the revised version incomplete
and burdened with errors.
Without entering upon the merits or demerits of
theological differences, it is clear that the measure at
Lansing is motivated by prejudiced feelings of a major-
ity religion. The sponsor of the bill, Rep. Andrew II.
Ilarnly, who is pastor of a Baptist church in Saginaw,
expressed confidence that teachers in the public schools
would prevent the reading of such passages which
would "harm any child who heard it." But he failed
to explain how a teacher would be able to classify her
pupils, according to their Jewish or Catholic or Moham-
medan or Protestant beliefs, without harming one or
another. The sponsors of the measure also fail to ex-
plain how the state will be able to live up to the prin-
ciple of unprejudiced selection of teachers without run-
ning into the danger of selecting men and women edu-
cators who are naturally prejudiced for the version of
the Bible approved by their faiths.
All the advantages combined, that might accrue
from the reading of the Bible by children in our schools,
is not sufficient to overbalance even the slightest dan-
gers threatened by the introduction of a practice of
religious preferences and prejudices in our institutions.
A New Era for Palestine.
At the banquet opening the Greater New York cam-
paign for the United Palestine Appeal two very impor-
tant things were revealed as marking a new era for the
Jewish National Home:
1. That unity in efforts for Palestine is not a myth
but is approaching reality; that the leaders in the move-
ment for the 'Jewish Agency were not using empty
words when they spoke of an all-Jewish effort for Pal-
estine, but that they mean business. Felix M. War-
burg, Louis Marshall, Ilerbert H. Lehman, Albert Ot-
tinger and other names listed among the contributors
give evidence that men who were not so long ago a3
far removed from the Palestine ideal as are the poles
are now joining in the great reconstruction enterprise.
2. That Jewish leaders are realizing the importance
of private investments in Palestine by Jews, in order
to help redeem the soil, build industries and help cre-
ate employment for Jewish labor. It was Mr. Warburg
who emphasized this point in his address at the ban-
quet in New York. Said Mr. Warburg:
One thing is sure: mere charity or philanthropy will
not bring this about. It means patient investment care-
fully made. Let us hope that in the campaign now start-
ing you will, by sounding this note, find other people who
are willing to invest for themselves and their children in
enterprises which will surely give them satisfaction,
probably a good income and, what is more valuable than
the two preceding ones, pride in having been connected
with this undertaking from the start and having helped in
its success.
Such sentiments, translated into action, will do more
for Palestine than all preceding efforts. Lord Melchett
and Mr. Warburg, by emphasizing this point, are doing
Zion a great service.
Hear Ye! There Are Poor Jews in Bidgosc!
The City Council of Bidgosc, formerly Bromberg,
in the province of Posen, in Poland, has been troubled
by the bequest of $100,000 of the late Mrs. Leonard
Cohen of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The will of the American
woman stated that the fund was to be used to aid the
"poor Jews" of Bidgosc, the Polish Councilmen of
which immediately ruled that there are no poor Jews
in their community. How could there be? Aren't all
Jews rich? They refused, therefore, to accept this
fund, of which they are made the administrators by the
late Mrs. Cohen's will.
Whether it was through the adverse publicity given
their rejection of the fund in newspapers throughout
the world, or whether it was their sudden decision that
$100,000 is a sum not to be frowned upon, is not known.
At any rate, Bidgosc's Councilmen suffered a change
of heart and reversed their original decision, voting last
week in favor of accepting this fund. By the simple
process of the ballot, therefore, we are now told that
Bidgosc does have poor Jews.
Hitherto the residents of the famous city of Chelem
monopolized wisdom. Now, indeed, the wisdom of the
Bidgoscites is not even exceeded by that of the Chele-
mites.

Queer folks we are. I ant referring, of course, to all
humanity. The other night I was thinking of the enor-
mous sums that are contributed to public cause's because
of the pressure of public opinion. Frequently we give to
philanthropies that we know little of and which ordinarily
we would never dream of giving a copper. Yet when the
stage is set, and public sentiment which sometimes takes
the form of social or business pressure, is applied, we
contribute freely. We help educate the child in Russia
or Timbuqoo, but when a child of one of our poor rela-
tions requires assistance for school or college we just
can's see the situation. We give thousands to help every-
body else and sometimes dollars or even dimes to help
our own. A year ago I wrote in a similar strain and a
conscience-stricken reader who is a liberal giver in every
worthy cause, discovered that he had forgotten some of
his family obligations while discharging his obligations
to everything and everybody else under the sun, so he
sent a check for a thousand dollars to a needy relative.
If one of our nephews needed $500 to see hint through
school we would probably raise a bigger howl than if we
were asked to give $5,000 to the cause of Jewish educa-
tion.
Yes, we are a queer lot. And I can't help thinking
of the forward-looking mothers who are so interested
in the welfare of the nation that they spend most of the
time outside their homes, leaving their own children to
get along without their guidance and intelligent help,
which stern so valuable to everybody else.
