pie press and pulpit to see to it that
these unworthy writers are called to
time Instead of reading the Jew
stdry in the magazine and laugh at
the caricature better take the pen in
hand or call your stenographer and
dictate or Write a letter telling him
just exactly how you feel about a
story in which an entire people are
maligned a story which helps spread
prejudices and make for misunder-
standings instead of being helpful
The Jewish Herald has helped and is
ready to help in the light against the

ISIDORE NEWMAN
Not many of those who reach the
dizzy heights on the ladder of success
financial success particularly remem-
ber that they once struggled and that
at the bottom where they began others
are still struggling They forget that
many there are who cannot even
struggle They forget the men wo-
men and children handicapped in the
game of life by misfortunes by bodily
weakness by crippled organsand in-
curable diseases In their race for-
gathering in their shekels they do not
stop to think of those who need a lift
that they too jmay be able to play the
game which we all must play some-
how as long as our eyes are open and
our minds awake One of these very
few men ready to remember and help
substantially those less fortunate was
Isidore Newman the financierphilan
tropist who lived his threescore and
ten and then went peacefully to rest
in New Orleans It is hardly necessary
to mention the city where he lived for
lie belonged to the entire Sunny South
He was the leading citizen not ot New
Orleans but of Dixie He was a philan-
thropist not only among the Jews but
> among his fellow citizens He did not
limit his philanthropy to those only who
happened to be born Jews The non
Jewish institution doing good work
found a ready helper in Isidoie New-
man He gave in life and gave well
ljtshe gave when ho parted fiom this
world and gave still better
> The country at ° rge knew of the
many institutions iah lived by the
aid of Isidore Now in but very few

persons outside of the immediate cir-
cle concerned knew how liberally he
gave to all charitable Institutions It
is only after looking over the large
list of institutions to whom he be-
queathed of his earthly goods that one
realizes how broad in his sympathies
was this man who came to this coun-
try when seventeen and stiuggled un-
til he became a power in the land of
his adoption
Tt may be that others have given
more than 55000 for charity alter
aiding all worthy causes for yeais But
very few have given as he did One
can hardly name an institution which
was not remembered in the will of Isi
dore Newmon Here are some of them
it will do you good to read the list as
it will show you how money can be
used to good advantage Audabon

ows and Orphans Home Isidore New-

These are just a few of the more im-
portant gifts to institutions Theie
is quite a list of institutions that were
remembeied with smaller gifts by tills
man who ought to serve as an exam-
ple to others It is true that charity
is only a makeshift and that justice is
the thing we all want But until jus-
tice comes the poor can not be allow-
ed to starve and the sick and unfor-
tunate can not and should not be nog
leted It is for this reason that we
must count Isidore Newman the phil
antropist among the lovers of his kind
and among its benefators
THE JEW AND HIS NEIGHBOR
A plea for a better understanding
between Jew and Christian for
friendly relations and brotherly love
was the keynote of the address by
Bishop William A Leonard before the
Cleveland Young Mens Hebrew Asso-
ciation at a recent date The 1 ela-
tion between Jew and Christian should
be that of gentlemen which means
that it should be good kindly sympa-
thetic tolerant and considerate If it
is not such it is not gentlemanly and
it is neither trulj Christian nor tiuly
Jewish And if a man is not kindly
and considerate he is neither a good
Jew nor a good Christian We are all
monotheists We believe in one God
jour religion is my religion and my
religion is your religion It is because
the Christian has forgotten what Ju-
daism is and the Jew has forgotten
what Christianity is that there has
been strife and ill feeling There has
been altogether too much fighting too
much antagonism too much strife be-
tween Jew and Christian Judaism is
an inspiration to all intelligent Christ-
ians The Jew of today is at the front
of every movement and more than
thathe stays at the front The Christ-
ian church is an outgrowth of the
<
Jewish church The time of intoler-
ance for Jews in America is passed
We must agree to love each other like
gentlemen
