Persecuted In Ihe autocratic countries of
JBurope, Asia and northern Africa, the Jew,
since the time of Modes, remained orthodox,
which means. In -tnts senso, alriclly rltuat-
ltla nnd true to trrtdltlbns. Transplanted
to America, which Is not yet tltopla but
neater to It than 6ther countries, the Jew
is loslntr his orthodoxy In the spirit of
democracy. It was an English Jew who
wrote 'The Melting Pot," and that was a
tale of conflict between old-World and now
world Ideas. America, democracy, was
triumphant.
Tho younger generation of Jews In Amer
ica nre drawing apart from tho orthodoxy

come from the lands of Indiscriminate per
secutions and racial hatred only a few
yearx after their children have arrived hero
they find a wide gulf between them. So
wide, Indeed, does this gulf become nt times
that the old folk are uncomfortable in their
children's houses, not because thoy nro un
welcome, but because they "don't Just fit
In."
This Is one of tho problems which the
Jewish Sheltering Home nnd Homo for
tho Homeless and Aged, at 316-317 South
3d street. Is trying to solve. It was estab
lished 26 years ago and has been twlco
enlarged since, tho second tlmo a few
months' ago. SIxty-flvo "guests" aro cared
for at present.
On of thoso Is an old man who camo
threo years ago from Russia, Mlnsker Ou
baroec. Ho had been preceded to America
by his sons, who wished to cscapo military
duty. When tho father nrrlved ho found
that his children no longer kept a strictly
"kosher" or Jewish ritualistic house, nor
did they observe tho Sabbath. And so, to
aa aa aircei institution no went, mere ne
would bo away from all this "Irrellgton,"
'lrreVerence" and "anarchy."
Tho bedrooms in tho building aro large
and airy. A hospital Is In charge of a
trained nurse and a large sunparlor Is a
source of pleasure for the guests. A
synagogue on the first floor Is well
equipped, and thero Is no part of tho home
which appeals moro to the old folk than
their place of visit, but orthodoxy or no
orthodoxy they are always glad to sco tho
young ones.

THE Hon, Travis H. Whitney, of the
Public Service Commission of New

It s from this unique angle he writes in
advocacy of the mail who refuses to fur

The coming Presidential election prom
ises to be the most important in the history
of the United States. This article is a de

life-work of the man who may be called to
the Presidency. It does what he has hither
