CAN YOU HELP THIS MAN?
J. Morris, 130 Wolseley Street, who served two years in the South African War and four years in the Great War and has four medals, begs the Jewish people of Toronto to find him a situation such as a caretaker or a helper of any kind. He is willing to do anything and can give �,ood reference.
"The American Mercury" has discovered a factory in Harrisburg which supplies speeches at the rate of ten for three dollars, such as ones "to be used in visiting lodges of Brith Abraham" and "to be delivered by the president of a Jewish sisterhood," and for every occasion where people listen to the silvery tongues that champion causes, give away medals, make presentations, and so on. This concern is a good thing to know about. If you make speeches it can help you. If you don't make speeches it may still help you by explaining some that you have heard and couldn't reconcile with the speaker.

"If human civilization is still to be saved, it can only be through the energetic awakening and alliance of the young people of the world, who sweep from the path of progress the monstrous idols of the past, the poisonous prejudices, the tyrannies, the lies. I have little hope of change in the generation which I belong. But my spirit and my heart have always been with the young, wrho travel always in the forefront, who never tarry, who carry in themselves faith in the future, and who want the sufferings of the old world to be destroyed and a new world, happier and better, to arise."
�Romain Rolland

Chaim Xachman Bialik, the Hebrew7 poet who was once falsely slain, in print, by this paper instead of congratulated on an anniversary, is so far from dead that rumour says he is considered for the Nobel prize. We are always pleased to bring back Bialik to life in these columns in attempted repayment for a confused moment and sincerely hope some day to record that he has won the Nobel prize, if he wants it.

B.A.B., columnist for the "Jewish Tribune," is engaged in desultory warfare with the "Chicago Israelite", in which he has the heartfelt attention of all pen-pushers on those English-Jewish papers which reach the predatory exchange table of the Chicago paper. For a long time the Israelite's custom has been to take the cash and let the credit lines go, that is, to intersperse its own scintillant composition with what it liked in other papers and fail to acknowledge receipt of same. When taken to task by B.A.B., the editor, too graceless to plead even convenient kleptomania, admitted repeated misdemeanor on the ground that the stolen stuff was so good he or she couldn't resist. In that case it seems necessary for the column writers to change their point of view and it is our suggestion that the Israelite be regarded henceforth not as a culprit in any way but rather as a file cabinet for the rest of us, so that when we want to read from all columns we need onlv turn to one.
Speaking of papers and the long distance crows they find to pick with each other, let this paragraph be sent with love from us to the "California Jewish Review." Its editor has written to say that hereafter when we reprint editorials from his papers he insists on the credit line being at the top. Gladly. That is, if the "California Jewish Review" will please give credit for an editorial of Rabbi Brickner's swiped from this paper with a credit line nowhere in sight, and that is if it follows its own new rule with regard to stuff it removes from the "American Hebrew." As to the "marked copy containing a paragraph in wrhich you give credit for the use of aforementioned editorials"- too much chutzpah is excessive, really.
Rivka says: "The man who enjoys a wonderful vacation while his employees are being underpaid is just as liable to be a prominent citizen as any one else."
