He Might Have Been
You recollect tlie Gilbert and Sullivan piece wliich runs to wit:
He might have been a Roos-ian, l^'rench, Tvirk or Proos-ian
Or an Italian, But despite all the temptation To belong to other nations He remains an Englishman. ; Bret Hnrte's Ancestry
The words came back to mc, as I was reading in,one of the Hearst papers a Httle sketch by Havelock Ellis on He¬ redity, in which Ellis writes that Bret Harte wrote to him^ in answer to a finery of his, that on his mother's side, he, Hartc, was of Dutch ancestry, while on his paternal side, he was English. That is, to the best of his knowledge.
Whicli is a very remarkable statement for Bret Hartc to have made. His father might have been an Englishman, as the verse goes, but he was actually a Jew. And Bret Harte certainly knew it. ¦ He hhnself used to tell of his being taken by his father to the New York Stock Ex¬ change to see his grandfather, Bernard Hart, a leading Jew of New.; York City and secretary, 1 believe, of the Stock Exchange at the time. : And he of course, must have known, as all his associates knew, that the mar¬ riage of his father and mother had given great, displeasure to the families on both sides. His Christian mother's folks wanted .to throw their Jevvish son-in-law out, and his Jewish father's home threw their Christian daughter-in-law out. Neither side liked the intermarriage and boycotted it.
These are such well known facts—that it is hard tp see how the novelist, Bret Harte, could have written to Ellis, what he did. " In fact, if; Harte did not know his father was Jewish, a glance in. the mirror must have revealed the Jewish blood to him very quickly. For his physiognomy was decidedly Jewish, as many of his friends truthfully told him,
I can't understand the letter of Harte's at   all   except   on   the   supposition   that „ Harte vi^hen he said his father was Eng¬ lish was possibly referring to his having been of English-Jewish stock.
Schwartz for President
- The more I read same of. the utterances
of some of the Presidential candidates,
the^ more  I  am  disposed  to throw all
.caution to the winds and announce my
•own candidacy for President.
If ;I could only get a good name for a party to run on. The name is very im¬ portant. You remember the old time Whigs had pretty much the same prin¬ ciples as the present time Republicans, but that hSine Whig proved a liability. VVHien they changed it to.Republican, it was an entirely dififcrent story. And I imagine that nothing hurts the Socialist party so much as its name. The oldi time Populist party was not so very much less radical than the present Socialist party but the name Populist did not con¬ jure ut> thfe spectre of free loye, atheism, bloody majfches and all the rest that the tag of: Socialism, somehow, conjures up in the mind of the average dweller on Main Street..
Hoover on Immigration
But to return, one of the reasons that makes me want to run for the Presidency at this belated hour—was the recent speech of Mr. Hoover in Cleveland.- Mr. Hoover in telling what his administra¬ tion did to preserve prosperity, pointed to the reduction iu immigration, achieved by his administration. .Said Mr. Hoover at Cleveland:     ¦
"Had the net immigration taken placCi
which took place two years previous, we
would have had 400,000 jobs taken from

A» I See It
By A. M. N.
Deeds not words are the sound test of a man's faithful allegiance to his an¬ cestral faith. If a Jew refuses to help a Jewish educational institution or to contribute to the buikling fund of a synagogue, he is not worthy of the fricnclship and companionship of his co- ligionists. Neither does he merit the re¬ spect of his Qiristian neighbors. We have in this .community a few men of this type. Public spirited communal leaders look askance at them; for they are liabilities., The time will come when they 'will be read out of the hon.sehold of, Israel altogether. They deserve no better treatment. ¦
I am glad to hear that Rahbi Aaroi> M. Hershman of Congregation Shaarcy Zcdek, Detroit, Mich., has been elected spiritual leader for life. Rabbi Hersh¬ man has served this congregation for the past twenty-five years. He has achieved an outstanding reputation as a scholar, civic leader, and forceful preacher. ¦ In Michigan; he' is known throughout the slate as a great champion of Jewish edu¬ cation and the rehabilitation of the Jew¬ ish Homeland. The officers of Shaarey Zedek deserve to be congratulated upon their wisdom and prudence; for Dr. Hershman is eminently worthy of the , signal honor that has been bestowed upon bim.
Hillel Foundation Social On Saturday, October 29th

Admission will be only thirty- five cents a couple or twenty-five cents for "stigs." The chairman of the social committee is Dorothy' Shiff.. Full co¬ operation has been promised by the vari¬ ous organized groups on the campus, and a large crowd'is expected. The,celebra¬ tion of "Dad's Day" jn connection with the -Wisconsin game' will undoubtedly bring a large group of out of town peo¬ ple to the University, many, of whom will wish to attend the Hillel dance. The social committee plans to conduct one large dance of this type each quarter if the response is satisfactory.
Abe Dworkin and his orchestra will furnish the music. Admission will be 3(ic per couple. This affair is open tu eveiryone.
15th Anniversary of Balfour
Declaration To Be Cele-
bratedy Nov. 2nd
Since the destruction of the Temple "the Jewish people have never given up hope of returning to the land of their ancestors, but not until the appearance of Doctor Theod<ire Herzl did the move¬ ment take concrete form and the Zionist organization come  into existence.
Unfortunately Herzl died at an early age, but his dream, and ideal of having Eretz Yisroel for the "Am Yisroel" lived and expanded, with the result that on November 2nd, 1917, the Balfour Declaration was. given out to the world, assuring the establishment of a Jewish Homeland in Palestine.
Next Wednesday, November 2nd, will be the 15th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, and the best way we can continue the work for the rehabilitation- of the land of our fathers is by working for Palestine with all our might, and to accomplish this the Young Judea Club of Columbus whicli meets every 'Wednes¬ day evening at the Schonthal Center is* asking all Jewish boys and girls betw'een the ages of 13 and 17 to join its ranks and become workers for Israel's most cherished dream—Palestine redeemed for the Jewish people- Mrs. M. Hirschsprung, who is noted for her ¦ Zionistic and educational activities, will address the club in its celebration oi the Balfour Declaration November 2nd at 8 P. M. at their "lace of meeting. Her topic will be "Young Judea". It will be an interesting talk.    Everybody invited.
Now that the debate between Lobagola, the African Bushman, and Rabbi, Jacob Tarshish, former spiritual leader of the Bryden 'Road Temple is over, it may prove appropriate to indulge in some re- ficctions on this event.
I am still wondering whether civihza- tion is really worth while. When I see all about mc poverty, crime, corruption in government, hyiiocrisy in our churches, and a rampant form of religious ami racial prejudice, I even have my doubts about the genuineness of our so-called civilization. I have yet to be,convinced that we of the Occident are any happier than the savage in the jungle or the- bush country of Africa from whicli the distinguished debatei^ of Wednesday, hails. Despite the progress made in many fields of human; endeavor, most, men under the skin still possess much of the nature of the savage and the brute. A i>erusal of the daily newspapers; proves this heyond a sihadow Of a doubt. Nev¬ ertheless, I don't believe that any one of us would care,to; revert 'back to bar¬ barism or savagery. We may not be en¬ tirely happy in our present state; but we hope and pray for. a better and more sunny future. The solace of religion has a most salutary effect. We also derive much joy, satisfaction, and even iiisptra- tion from literature, from art, and sci¬ ence, as well as from the interchange of love ill the family circle.
It is the duty of men to remember that they are created in God's image and likeness. In all their ways and acts they must acknowledge Him. Thej' must also reflect the sweet amenities of advanced social relations; moreover, 'tliey must prove themselves honest, faithful, kind and sympathetic towards, those who dif¬ fer with them. They must be .espe¬ cially forbearing and gentle to the im¬ poverished and the undcrpri[yilegcd. Civilization wilj prove worthwhile wlieii all humanity of every race and clime will bow down and pay obeisance to a God of love and not of hate, a God- of truth and not of falsehood, a God of principle and not of chicanery, a Univer¬ sal Father and not a narrow, jealous tribal deity.
Prof, Ernst Freund. of the .University of Chicago, internationally known au-- tbority oh jurisprudence, died in his sleep yesterday at the Billing's Memorial Hospital, succumbing to a heart ailment. Prof. Freund; was 68 years old. Born in New York City, on January 30tli. 1864,' the son of Ludwig A. and Nanny Freund, he was educated' in the Universities of Berlin and Heidelburg, and at Columbia University. He had been a professor of jurisprudence and public law at the Uni¬ versity of Chicago since lfl02. He served as Commissioner of Uniform State Laws and was at one time the president of the American Political Science Associa¬ tion, iHe was a member of the Illinois and New York City Bar Associations, and the Institut International du Droit Public, The death of Dr. Freundi is being inonrned both here and abroad, for he was a kindly man and had acquired hosts of friends on both continents. Many of his students are prominent and may be found in most of the large cities of America.
