Supreme Court Justice Cardozo.
The Jewish people have reason to rejoice.
Another of its most illustrious sons, the dis-
tinguished jurist Benjamin Nathan Car-
dozo, has been elevated to membership on
the bench. of the United States Supreme
Court, succeeding the great liberal Oliver
Wendell Holmes.
We congratulate Justice Cardozo on the
recognition which rewards his fine judicial
mind. We congratulate President Hoover
for having exercised sufficient wisdom thus
to reward merit.
But the greatest honor reflects upon the
people which is now to have the privilege
of counting two of its members among the
nine justices of the United States Supreme
Court: Cardozo and Brandeis. Jewry's
honor is supreme. Everywhere harassed,
suffering untold hardships in practically
every section of the globe, the bestowing of
such an honor upon a Jew helps to sooth
the wounds inflicted by an uncharitable
world.
Justice Cardozo's appointment provides
a spiritual satisfaction which it is impossible
to measure in material terms. All the money
that has been lost by Jews in the present
crisis could not buy this honor. On the
other hand, this great honor so elevates our
position that the economic tragedy fades
into insignificance compared with the privi-
lege that is ours.
This is an occasion for rejoicing and for
blessing the name of Benjamin Nathan
Cardozo which has granted Jewry so much
joy and honor.
tion, still continue to water them with the
dews of heaven and make the inhabi-
tants of every denomination participate in
the temporal and spiritual blessings of that
people whose God is Jehovah."
It is worth quoting also from the letter
which he addressed to the Hebrew Congre-
gations of Philadelphia, New York, Rich-
mond and Charleston, in which he stated :
"The liberality of sentiment toward each
other, which marks every political and re-
ligious denomination of men in this coun-
try, stands unparalleled in the history of
nations.
"The affectionate expressions of your ad-
dress again excite my grtitude and receive
my warmest acknowledgment.
"The power and goodness of the Al-
mighty, so strongly manifested in the events
of our late glorious revolution, and His kind
interposition in our behalf, have been no
less visible in the establishment of our pres-
ent equal government. In war Ile directed
the sword, and in peace Ile has ruled our
councils. My agency in both has been
guided by the best intentions and a sense
of duty I owe to my country.
May the same temporal and eternal
blessing which you implore for me rest
upon your congregations."
These sentiments reflect the spirit of the
man who helped to found the great republic
which for many decades was a haven of
refuge for the oppressed of the world. The
millions of Jews in America are filled with
reverence and awe at the mention of the
name George Washington. And for all
mankind the name is an inspiration to
strive for liberty and freedom for all peo-
ples. The tribute penned in his honor by
Alfred Tennyson reflects the sentiments of
a respecting world. Jewry joins millions
of compatriots in reciting, on this occasion,
with Tennvsor

The Washington Bi-Centenary.
The notable two hundredth anniversary
of the birth of George Washington serves
to remind Americans of the nobility of this
great man, For the Jewish community it
serves as a reminder of the friendship he
professed for Israel, on a par with the fair-
ness with which he treated all groups and
glasses of the population of the youthful
Republic over which he was called to pre-
side.
It was in response to an address of the
Newport, R. I., Hebrew Congregation, oven.
the signature of Moses Seixas, warden, that
Washington wrote in August of 1790:
The reflection on the days of difficulty
and danger which are past is rendered the
more sweet from a consciousness that they
are succeeded by days of uncommon pros-
perity and security. If we have wisdom
to make the best use of the advantages with
which we are now favored, we cannot fail
under the just administration of a good
government, to become a great and happy
people.
"The citizens of the United States of
America have a right to expand themselves
for having given to mankind examples of
and enlarged and liberal policy ; a policy
worthy of imitation. All possess alike lib-
erty of conscience and immunities of citi-
zenship. For happily the government of
the United States, which gives to bigotry no
sanction, to persecution no assistance, re-
quires only that they who live under its
protection should demean themselves as
good citizens in giving it on all occasions
their effectual support.
"It would be inconsistent with the frank-
ness of my character not to avow that I
am pleased with your favorable opinion of
my administration, and fervent wishes for
my felicity. May the children of the stock
of Abraham, who dwell in this land, con-
tinue to merit and enjoy the good will of
the other inhabitants; while every one shall
sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree,
and there shall be none to make him afraid.
May the father of all mercies scatter light
and not darkness in our paths and make
us all in our several vocations useful here
and in his own due time and way everlast-
ingly happy."
In a letter addressed to the Hebrew Con-
gregations of Savannah, Georgia, the first
president of this republic wrote:
"I rejoice that a spirit of liberality and
philanthropy is much more prevalent than
it formerly was among the enlightened
nations of the earth, and that your brethern
will benefit thereby in proportion as it
shall become still more extensive ; happily
the people of the United States have in
many instances exhibited examples worthy
of imitation, the salutary influence of
which will doubtless extend much further
if gratefully enjoying those blessings of
peace which (under the favor of heaven)
have been attained by fortitude in war,
they shall conduct themselves with rever-
ence to the Deity and charity towards their
fellow-creatures.
"May the same wonder-working Deity,
who long since delivered the Hebrews from
their Egyptian oppressors, planted them in
a promised land, whose providential agency
has lately been conspicious in establishing
these United States as an independent na-
The wings of his fame spread across the

furled,
The pride of his country, the wealth of the
world."
Two Sexagenarians.
To two Detroiters we extend our greet-
ings this week on the occasion of their
birthdays: To Dr. Noah E. Aronstam,
who, on Thursday, observed his sixtieth
birthday, and to Jacob Miller, who, last
Monday, reached the age of 65. Both may
be classed among the most interesting per-
sonalities in Detroit Jewry, and each, in his
way, has made notable contributions to the
community's life.
Dr. Aronstam is recognized as an able
writer, as an author of essays and poems of
value, as a physician of high standing, as
a master of several languages, including
Hebrew, and as an adherent to the worth-
iest Jewish national and cultural causes.
His anxiety to know and to master every
field of human endeavor, with particular
emphasis on medicine, philology and philos-
ophy, make him stand out for his profund-
ity, knowledge and erudition. As time goes
on, this doctor of three score years appears
to show even greater mental power.
Mr. Miller's contribution to the commun-
ity have been made through his active
leadership in several movements, particu-
larly in the Zionist cause and in his efforts
for the B'nai B'rith. For more than 30
years he has been actively affiliated with
the Zionist cause, directing numerous suc-
cessful fund-raising campaigns, later go-
ing to Palestine to assume the important
responsibility of managing the Judea Life
Insurance Co. In the Order of B'nai B"rith
he is today the second oldest member in the
State of Michigan. lie has held national
official positions in the order, served as
president of lodges in Bay City and Detroit
and otherwise made valuble contributions.
His knowledge of Zionist principles is ex-
ceeded by very few in this community.
Similarly, only a handful in public life pos-
sess that fine sense of humor which is his,
and his remarkable ability to produce a
good story for every occasion.
Our wishes to the two gentlemen is that
they may continue for many years to come
to contribute to Jewish learning and
worthy Jewish endeavors.
A Small World After All.
Our clever columnist, David Schwartz,
in a recent issue, told the story of a cer-
tain "Professor McCullough" of the Har-
vard Law School who, not yet having re-
ceived the roll call for the new semester,
was stricken with an idea. "Mr. Smith,"
he called, and there was no response. "Mr.
Johnson." Still no response. "Mr. Cohen,"
and five responded. This is Schwartz's
version.
Now comes a Detroiter, who is struggling
to earn his LL. B. at Harvard, who, upon
reading this story in The Detroit Jewish
Chronicle, sends us this version of it:
Schwartz tells a story about a "certain Pro-
fessor McCullough. Well, it's true, but the
name stlf the Scotchman is McLaughlin—as
tough a Scotty as ever wore kilts—and only
four Cohens responded. I ought to know be-
cause it happened in my Property class in Sep-
tember, 1930. Thought you might be inter-
ested, and so I am sending you the exact
details. For your paper as a whole I have
unstinted praise.
Which goes to prove what a small world
this is, after all. David Schwartz does his
columning from New York for The Detroit
Jewish Chronicle, a Detroit boy, whose
name we conceal for obvious reasons, reads
it in Cambridge, Mass., corrects the story.
and now we shoot it back to David to help
him rejoice that his stories should travel
so widely—and so speedily.

A SAPIENT REMARK
The late Prof. Neumark once remarked anent the writing of
books: "It is not enough to write a book. For after you've written
it you've got to get a publisher and it's not enough to get a publisher,
for after you've published it you've got to read it. Don't rely on
others to read it."
Professor Neumark, I am convinced, was characteristically sapient
in this observation. Judging from what I hear on Publishers Row, the
only ones reading the current books are the authors.
