Many Are Looking Forward
To State-Wide Zionist
Convention
Tammany  and  the Jewa
While Tammany is being iSeaburied from the angle of general corruption, I think it would be a good idea for Jews to do a little probihg of certain other aspects. Of whether for Instance, Tam¬ many is entitled to the support that it receives  from Jewish voters.
A, J, Engleman, who has made a rather rough survey tells mc that while New York Jews supply something like 35 per cent of Tammany's votes, it re¬ ceives probably not more than 3 per cent of ofiice gravy. The only Jews who get any political appofntments are among the higher ups, and these higher ups, both Jewish and non-Jewish, as is well known, generally pay. Call it contributions or plain purchase.
But for the thousands of little offices in the.administrative machinery of the city government, Jews barely, get a scratch.
Not Much Option Of course, the basis of voting should not be what one's co-religionists receive. But it seems to mc that this might never¬ theless serve as a' point frorii which might be rotated tlie: whole question .of Jewish support of Tammany.
Needless to say, all Jews do not sup- ., port Tammany, but without Jewish sup¬ port, it would have pretty rough sailing. I am aware too of the fact, that the voter generally has little preference. No sooner does the other major party get in, and it plays similar politics along a. sim¬ ilar low level. In New Vork city, it hap¬ pens to be the Democratic machine. In Pennsylvania, it; is'. the Republican ma¬ chine which is corrupt, and if the mayor of New York is being- investigated, I call your attention to the fact, that in Pennsylvania, right now a United States Senator of the Republican wing is under indictment. And I have no question that a.Seabury cotild reveal just as spicy do¬ ings in the' Pennsylvania republican household as in the Democratic machine in New York.
Nevertheless, there is just a little bit too much talk of.Tammany being friendly to the Jews.. It seems to me that Jews are just a,Httle bit too friendly to Tam¬ many, „¦ ,
The writer happens to be an enrolled Democrat, but at the'coming election he proposed to vote for Lehman, not because he is a Jevsfj or a Democrat, but because he is'a decent type.   And for the rest of the ticket, he proposes to go Socialist. The Proposed Remedy Engleman, whom I have just quoted, : feels that the Jews should organize some central body, and in that way, they would cure such tactics as this 35 per cent sup- , pprt and 3 per cent offices.
'I cannot see. it that way. I sec no necessity for it, nor do I believe that Jews can be united in the same manner as say the Irish are. Jews have not the political cohesiveness. While a great body support Tammany, if New York goes for Hoover.this Fall, it will prob¬ ably be due in great measure to Jewish support. Certainly, he could not get New York, if Jews were unitedly against him. . And even in the case of the governor¬ ship. Probably no Jew in New York .could count on as united Jewish support ¦ as Lehman, and yet the manager of the boom for Davison, one of the Republican aspirants,is a Jew.
And of course, Jews constitute the bulk of the Socialist party i'n New York. - Hitler and Ferdinand And it appears that this situation is universal. One of the New York general daily newspapers this ¦yireek made, the statement that Hitler, the .German Fas¬ cist and anti-Semitic leader, has a Jew¬ ish milstressi
Would this mistress join Engleman's proposed organization? The story of this mistress seems hardly plausible, and yet in the light of history, it may very well be the truth.
. Wo all talk for instance of the cruelty of Ferdinand and Isabella at expelling the Jew from Spain, at the behest of the Inquisition.
And yet Keyserling, the most thorough student of the Jewish history of the Spanish period, declares tbat Ferdinand had a Jewish mother or a Jewish grand¬ mother, I don't know which. And that it was a fact, the Jews of Spaih,_ who nialde the "shidduch" between Ferdinand and Isabella, figuring that if Isabella were married to someone with Jewish blood in his veins, things would be bet¬ ter for the Jews, But Fer^dinand behaved like the rest..
Paying the Thief Recently George Gershwin was passing one of those too many burlesque shows. As he approached the exit, the door was hal f open, and the tunes that came tingling to his ears sounded strangely familiar. He peeked in and listened at a closer range. Yes, it was one of his newer compositions now being played in "Of Thee I Sinfj."
As he peeked in, an uslicr came up to him: "Say, minster, if you want to hear this music, buy a ticket around the front and come in."
HiH Delivery Was (lood And that reminds me of the storv of the self-commissioned rabbi, who took his first job somewhere out in the west.
It was New Year's day, and he deliv¬ ered a beautiful sermon—an impressive sermon.
As he finished, he sat down with evi¬ dent self-congratulation. These hicks never heard a sermon like that before, he was sure.
At the conclusion of tJie services, one of the worshippers came up to him. "Doctor, you delivered a fine sermon. In fact, your delivery of Rabbi Leon Har¬ rison's sermon was very much better than it was delivered by the rabbi who was here last vear."

Sunday and Hebrew Schools
of Broad Street Temple
Open
Rabbi Nathan Zelizer Is.Supcrvisinf?
the Activities of Both; Children
Are Being' Registered Now^
The ofiicers of.,the Religious SchooKi of the. East Broad Street Temple arc glad to announce the return of their spiritual leader. Rabbi Nathan Zelizer, to resume his supervision of the spiritual, and social activities of the members and friends pf the congregation.
Ushering in the activities for the com¬ ing year, Rabbi Zelizer announces the opening of, the Sunday and Hebrew School of the East Broad Street Tem¬ ple, tomorrow, September 11, at 10 a. m.
As for the Sunday School, Mr. Harry VVinters and Mrs. Sam Berman together with the rabbi, have done everythinj, within their power to supply the school .with an excellent teaching staflr and with, other necessary material to make this the outstanding Sunday School in the Jewish community of Columbus. As for the Hebrew School of the congregation, which opens Monday, Sept. 12, and of which Rabbi Zelizer . is personally in. cliarge, the officers of the congregation are glad to inform the public that there the child does not only get a thorough knowledge and an intelligent'understand¬ ing of the Hebrew language and litera¬ ture, but he also develops a love for Jewish ideals and ceremonies and a lik¬ ing for the schooL itself, which is of primary importance in the teaching of children, especially in a Hebrew  school.
Parents arc urgently requested to reg¬ ister their children tomorrow between 10 a. m. and 12 noon, in the Rabbi's Study, No parent should be of the false conviction that the education which the child receives in public schools is suffi¬ cient foi* a healthy moral and mental, not saying spiritual, development. The child's, education is not complete without a Jew¬ ish religious education. Religious edu¬ cation develops character—the soul—the morale of the child. A Jewish education will make your child a better citizen, for he will learn of what the Jewish genius has contributed to the civilization of mankind and, in^ particular to America. A Jewish education will give your child ¦' sense of pride in his people and his faith, hence it will add to his self re¬ spect. .A Jewish education for, your child will assure the future of our precious heritage. Do not fail to give vour child a Jewish education. Play fair with lilni and do not rob him or her of his or her heritage. These are tbe goals and the purposes of a school in a conservative congregation such as. the E?st Broad Street Temple. There the teacher or the rabbi is not afraid to give the child an un-to-date explanation of a Biblical or Religious question because we are progressive, but we do not rob the child of any of the beautiful portions of our heritage and language because we are conservative.
Be sure to register your children in the Religious Schools of the East Broad Street Temple,
Rabbi Zelizer will begin his Friday "icbt sermons and lectures September 23rd,
I am glad to hear that Brother E. L. Meyer, one of the most active Jewish communal workers in Atlanta, has been chosen vice-president of the Atlanta Bar Association. This places him next in line for the presidency of this tiody. I am sure that Mr. Meyer will reflect credit upon the office he has been elected to fill, . acquitting himself like a true "Son of the Covenant."
«      iH      *
It is difficult for me to understand the- psychology of the Nazi press, particu¬ larly "Der Angriff" of Berlin, Germany. This paper has been consistently anti- Semitic for over seven years. It at¬ tempts to lay the blame for all the world!s difficulties on the door steps of the Jewish people, especially the Jews of wealth.
In the issue of "Der AngriflF" for Sep¬ tember 4th, the Nazi editor alleges that Mayor Walker's corruption benefited rich Jews who placed him in office for their own purposes. For this reason, the paper charges, the Jewish press has been white-washing him. Evidently, the dis¬ tinguished editorial writer has not been reading many Jewish publications; other¬ wise he would know better than that. I can mention offhand fifteen Jevvish news¬ papers which have been very severe and caustic in their criticism of the actions of the ex-Mayor of New York, f would also like.to call attention to the fact .that Rabbi Steplieri S. Wise is, in ; large measure responsible for Walker's present predicament.
But what is' the use of i-easoning with men -instilled with prejudice and Satu¬ rated with a thirst for persecuting. and calumniating their fellowmen. Better let them rave on; ultimately they will con¬ vict themselves in the eyes of thinking people for what they really are—dema¬ gogues and charlatans of the first water;
¦* ^ ¦ ,* ¦ According to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Dr. Leopold Mayer, an inspec¬ tor in the department of antiquity, has been named to the chair of art and' archaeology of the Hebrevy University. This chair was only recently created through a gift of Sr. Percival David and is named for Sir Sassoon David, his father. At the London meeting of the Board of Governors, Dr. Mayer was unanimouslv,, chosen as thC; man most;, fitted for this important ^ost. He will commence his work at once.

Mamaroneck, Is the recipient of felicitations on the oc¬ casion of his 75tli anniversary which oc-   . currcd   on   September   1st.    Dr.   Solis- Cohen,  an  outstanding therapist associ¬ ated with the Jefferson Medical  College for the last twenty years, is also widely known    a§    a    civic    worker,    Hebrew Scholar,   and   communal   Jewish   leader. He is one of tliq founders.of the Poly¬ clinic   Hospital   of    Philadelphia,   now   , known as the Graduate Hospital.   He is the author of "Pliarmaco—Therapeutics," '. and has been honored with high office by many, medical societies.    It  is  inter¬ esting to note that he is the translator of many songs and psalms of the Hebrevv' , poets.
In civic life,. Dr. Solis-Cohen is iden¬ tified with riiovements to attain good mu¬ nicipal government and was a founder ?nd director of the> Municipal League, of Philadelphia. He is also a member of the Board of Education of that city . and gives much of his time _and energy to the prosecution 6f its activities. All in all, he is a remarkable man who has won the respect and admiration of thou¬ sands of Jews and Christians alike.,'May he continue to carry on for many years to come.

From present indications, the Ohio Zjoijist Conference, will be a unique' gathering attracting lovers of Zion from all parts of the Buckeye State. Morris Rothenberg, the popular president of the Zionist Organization of America, will be the guest of honor at this conferenc which will be held in Cleveland, Septem¬ ber I7th and 18th. A thorough discus¬ sion of Zionist problems will take placei. Such personalities as Rabbi James G. Heller of Cincinnati, A. H. Friedland of Cleveland, Dr. Samuel Schmidt of Cin¬ cinnati, Mrs, Elma Ehrlich Levinger of Columbus, Dr. Jacob Golub of Cincinnati, Prof. Shalom Maximon of the Hebrew Union College, Rabbi Harry Davidpwitz of the Cleveland Jewish Center, Dr. Sol¬ omon Goldman of Chicago, and Ezra Shapiro of Cleveland will participate in important symposiums. I trust that at least ten Columbus Zionists 'vvill make it their business to go to Cleveland for this extraordinary event.
On this occasion they will have an op¬ portunity not only to meet the new pres¬ ident of the Z. O. A. and to hear him outline the program of his administra¬ tion of the coming year, but also to wit¬ ness the brilliant discussion of Zionist problems by the above-named author¬ ities.
