Pioneer Jewish Editor's Role Recalls Jewish Press History

//

//7/ / /

Leon Frisch of Min-
neapolis is one of the
pioneer Jewish editors of
the -country. He is
editoremeritur of the
American Jewish World of
Minneapolis.
I sometimes wonder
about the editor business.
What makes one enter it?
Not often does it bring a for-
tune. I think, maybe, it ful-
fills a kind of social sense —
the feeling for the commun-
ity as a whole which
everyone has in greater or
lesser degree. Also,
perhaps, it is because of a
fascination for words.
A word can cheer, or de-
press. It can inspire, it can
reveal,. it can hide. What
can't a word do? It is a very
powerful thing and yet it is
not a thing. You can't go
into a store and say wrap me
up a pound of words.
We realize all this and
yet we don't. We don't
appreciate editors as
much as we should.. No
one deals more with polit-
ical life, for instance,
than the editor of a daily
_paper. Yet how rare it is
to see an editor nomi-
nated for political office.
A century or so ago,
probably the man who most
influenced 'the thought of
the country was Horace
Greeley, editor of the New
York Tribune, and he was
nominated for President.

But did he win? No. Not
only that, but he was always
being lampooned.
They laughed at Greeley,
but they took his advice.
"Go west, young man," said
Horace Greeley.
Frisch was one of the
young men who took this
advice. He went way up the
Mississippi to Minnesota.
Mostly Scandinavians,
Swedes, were settling there;
also, of course, a small
stream of Jews. Frisch
didn't worry. If the Jews
didn't subscribe to his
paper, he figured he could
count on the Swedes. No
country has given so many
prizes to Jews as Sweden.
Yes, Minnesota is a great
state, not only for its Scan-
dinavians. It has more lakes
than any other state. Medi-
cally, it is distinguished for
the Mayo Clinic. It has
given the late Hubert Hum-
phrey and Vice President
Walter Mondale to the
country. Minneapolis and
St. Paul both have had a
Jewish mayor — before
New York City. In Duluth,
Minnesota, a young Jew,

Robert Zimmerman, has in-
spired a whole generation of
young Americans with his
songs. He is more popularly
known as Bob Dylan.
By the waters of the Min-
netonka, Frisch established
his weekly. Jews have al-
ways been attracted to jour-
nalism, I think. In days of
Thomas Jefferson, Mor-
decai Manuel Noah was a
leadino- newspaperman.
b Jewish press in
But the
America really got going
about 1880, when the great
Russian Jewish exodus
began following a series of
pogroms in Russia.
The impact journalisti-
cally of this was not felt
until the last decade of the
19th and the beginning of
the present century.
If today there exists an
Israel, no little of the cre-
dit should go to these
Jewish papers. Theodor
Herzl himself, it will be
recalled, was a news-
paperman. Louis Lipsky,
who perhaps was the
most influential single
Zionist, had edited a
Jewish weekly, The

Brodhead Inserts Editorial
by JN on Feisal in Record

With a strong appeal for
serious consideration of Is-
rael's wish for peace and for
a just solution of the Middle
East issue, Rep. William M.
Brodhead of Michigan in-
serted in the Congressional
Record of Jan. 19 The
Jewish News editorial.with
the exchange of letters bet-
ween the late Emir Feisal of
Iraq and U.S. Supreme
Court Justice Felix
Frankfurter. The Feisal let-
ter of 1918 affirmed the
Arab position of that era
strongly supporting the
Zionist aims as beneficial to
Arabs.
In an introductory state-
ment introducing the edito-
rial, Congressman
Brodhead said:
Over the past several
weeks we have been wit-
nessing important new
steps toward peace in the
Middle East. As is the
case with any diplomatic
initiative of far-reaching
significance, these
negotiations have in-
volved a give-and-take
that has captured the at-
tention of the world and
created great pressures
on both sides.
Although there have been
ups and downs in the talks,

it is very encouraging that
both Israel and Egypt have
recognized each other's
right to exist as modern
states.
In a recent editorial, De-
troit Jewish News editor
Philip Slomovitz points out
that this recognition has a
precedent in history. I
commend this article to my
colleagues' attention.

Shofar, in Rochester and
in New York became the
editor of The Maccabean,
the first American Zionist
publication. Jacob de
Haas, sent to America by
Herzl,, founded the Bos-
ton Jewish Advocate. In
New Orleans, Max Heller
was the editor of a Jewish
weekly. Today, every big
city has its Jewish
weekly.
The rabbis of old said that
the city of Jerusalem woul
spread until it covered thil)
world. That was, of course, a
metaphor, meaning that the
ideals would reach out
beyond the territorial
limits. The Jewish press
helped achieve that end.
