Tal Milijic sages Salt for democracy what the great jewish scholar Doii Isaac Abarbanel said in gifts Seth Century of form of government advocated by the Bible. To by Louis Friedman. Now that All the to find is in conflict that Universal democracy May be established for its people it May be of interest to the readers of the is Bakutz to learn that democracy is the preferred system of gov eminent according to the Bible talmudic sages and later rabbinical authorities. The great set Dipolar and statesman Don Isaac Abarbanel in his hebrew commentary on the scriptures treat la logically of this question showing conclusively that Doracy uus the favored form of Golem meet the personal Story of sir Isaac though familiar of course to every hebrew scholar is perhaps not so Well know no to the cultural world of English speaking people. Born in Lyshon Portugal in 1437, the child of wealthy parents Don Isaac became Early in life a great scholar later he was made minister of finance Secretary of state and adviser to the King of Portil and later to the King of Spain. Members of his family had been great diplomats and scholars in Spain Portugal and Italy for upward of three centuries. From the fourteenth Century until Well along in the seventeen i the name of Abarbanel appears in Golden letters in jewish history. High Plaw at court. Don Isaac Abarbanel held a High p pc ill. The court life of Spain until a a great jewish drive Quot a the drive that was to make Scalp poor interial by an intellectually a Tooh Pace in 1492. Isaac Abarbanel though he stood High in the favor of the King preferred to share the exile of his people. A it is essential Fop us to Kph says Don Isaac Abib gut a whether g King is a necessity or Urh Ether he Quay be conveniently la tue philosophers go so far As to say that the King bears the same relation to the nation As dogs the heating heart to the lev lug Hedi 4s the heart sends the red blood throbbing to All parts of the body so by say dogs King function in the be of the body politic. �?~3ut to me it seems Folly to think thus. If these philosophers believe As How Tan they help the state must include the three essentials of Unity sternness and pos Luve Power How foolish is their theory that these May Ibe Best achieved through the and maintenance of a i Seuss Nati orial Afflina a is it not better for a nation that there should be in its Council a number of men who can get to it Ether from time to time and Seuss National affairs through their discussions will not their do Sllen be inevitably Wiser than those of some Lunatic King who has inherited his Power by the so called a Diskie right a and if there must but rulers Why should not the rulers he chosen for a year or for three. And if there comes a time when the nation wishes to make a change of the ruler and fudges then let others come in their place and let them criticise and investigate and use the Searchlight of truth to find whether or no their predecessors have been True to their official Trust and ruled the people wisely. A if they made a rots in their judgments and by these judgments wronged any Man or woman then let them repay those whom they have wronged. Why should not their Power be limited according to accepted Laws and customs Why should Nof the majority Rule in All the activities of National Ufa is it not most plausible that the Rule of one Man la More do serous than that of Many ? per As the scripture says a the Wrath of a King is a we herons a and Eltheia through his Wrath or his ignorance or his vice great harm May come. On the other if the country is ruled by Many sent Alves of the people and one of these leans toward i us a met an of theol selves at the next election then the fear of Public opinion will compel them to be honest and Earnest in their official capacity. Two forme contrasted. A wherefore should we treat of this question with philosophical half split tag let us look to the practical Side of life. Let us judg a from the existing standards of our own Days. Let us lot flt around is and examine into the conditions of the countries where Kings Rule. What do we see there what but immorality Rasca Lity Kings the leaders in the satisfy octian of unhallowed Deidre and Carol inclinations. Bach in his Domain does As he pleases and the whole country is ruled by corruption. Let us on the other hand examine into the condition of the few countries in which the government is carried by judges and rulers elected for a Short period. God the Jordat King rules Over them. Justice prevails there. Everything is in order. Thi Rule their people with Justice and there to no murmur to be heard from their citizens. A let us take the example of the great roman Empire. She conquered almost every part of civilized world other nation Kiefe under her heels Idie ruled to universe. But her Rule lasted Only As Long As Rome was a Republic and i used by consuls Many and accomplished and limit cml to a certain period. When the Caesars came her glory dwindled into the labyrinth of the past and disgrace fully she died. A in on own Days we see the Republic of Venice big among nations the ruler of provinces. The same state exists in the Republic of Florence and other stat a and countries where King or cae8ar is unknown. The Laws and the customs of these countries Are changed according to National need. The very Constitution is improved with the development of the nations requirements. And their whole National activities a even to the going to War and Ctm nering of other lands go for Murd with Wisdom understanding and foresight. The Trail of Kings. A fall of this i believe is sufficient to convince us that the existence of a King is not essential to the life of a nation but is on the contrary dangerous from every Point of View. As the great teacher Moses Maimonides said the dangers that attend in the Trail of Kings Are so great inst we should avoid every possibility of bringing them upon the human Raco in any part of the what better proof do we need than that scripture itself compares the Stormy wind on the Ocean to the Stormy mind of a King i wonder How a philosopher with even the mind of a child could compare the human heart which is essential to the King who is not mily unessential hut positively dangerous. A Why should we not follow the dictates of our own common sense if on rulers Are Good and Wise is it not better to have in the place of one a Hundred Good and Wise men with limited Power even if these Many rulers who May be called a parliament or Cabinet Are wicked one King who is prompted by motives of selfishness of self Gloria Catlon can do More mischief than Many men who fear for their positions and must reckon with Public opinion dark of tit Jenna Lei and ideas Hiu to appreciate How embarrassing Woi Al have been to any of on municipal ill cats the awarding of his prize.

The record wot old be incomplete unless it included the Story of the chivalry of Pincus Ruttenberg zionist and Leader in the jewish Congress movement. It is somewhat Over a your ago that the jewish world was shocked to learn that Ruttenberg was a prisoner in the Peter and Paul fortress for the crime of having been chief of police of Petro Grad under Kerensky where he had been thrown by the bolshevism regime.

The zionist publicity department has just received from a confidential source a pm Splete report of the conversation Between Ruttenberg and a British colonel after Zabotinsky had been arrested and or. De Sola Pool was being threatened be Couse he had led old men and women out of the danger zone. Ruttenberg became impatient and broke out with these words a i have decided to go Hack to the zionist commission and present my resignation unless the Wmk of of defense and its control is accepted by and handed Over to the zionist commission. Either i am doing Good work and the zionist commission should be responsible for it or i am doing bad work and i should be sent away. But it is absurd for me to talk with you As a private individual and the zionist commission should be afraid that my speaking to you of fld Aily would give you some Loop Hole against us. Colonel what is the Seif dense organization p. Ruttenberg i saw the first Arab demonstration and i have enough experience in such matters to know that there was trouble brewing. I understood the situation was serious and a that there was a possibility of a jewish pogrom in Jerusalem. Tou remember that three or four weeks before i met you in connection with my work. I add you then about the Sel defense organization and asked you to Arm it.

Columbus Ohio dispatch the zionists dreams of a jewish Republic in Palestine have by no Means come True not As yet. Regardless of what it is idled is at this time and will be for some time to come nothing More nor less than a British protectorate with British officers in command. As the right honorable Herbert Louis Samuels High commis8i Mer of Palestine by virtue of British appointment says a civilian administration. For the country will be established immediate the higher ranks will consist of British officials of ability and experience the other ranks will be open to the local population irrespective of the commissioner goes on to state that a immigration of the character that is needed will be admitted into in proportion As its development allows employment to be it will not be left to the jews themselves to flock to the country regardless of All else than that they Are jews. Discretion must be shown of course to the end that those who Goto Palestine May have same Chance of working out their own future and not become Mere changes upon the Gen of Tolsty of the world. As regards the possibilities of the country As a place of residence for great numbers.

We have now seen the result of Thia decision. After that i went again to Galilee for a week and came Back to Jerusalem the Friday before the pogrom. During the next few Days Between four and five Hundred Young men were organized Aud some Anns bought from ten to Twenty revolvers and some rifles.

He refused with the results that you know. Colonel but you cannot be armed a that a against the Law. P. Ruttenberg Tou have not protected us. I Hope you Are now in a position to control the situation but 80 far you have not done so. I have no right therefore to disarm my Young men and we cannot give up any Araos. But you can arrest me.

They Are endeavouring to intimidate the bulgarians that the bolsheviks aur the jews Are on the Point of entering the country to destroy their churches and kill their children. On the occasion of the presentation of the rumanian National Flag to the great Synagog at Bucharest the King the Cabinet the Church and the Anny were officially represented. The metropolitan delivered a speech in hebrew in which he advocated hard Nous and brotherly relations with the jews. The polish diet Hae passed a Law which precludes jewish Schelt Fis being built at the expense of the state. This is a breach of the Minori Dauses i the peace treaty. The minister for Edd Catlon endeavoured to justify the Law by stating that it was Only provisional. There is no doubt however that this explanation is Only intended to soothe Public opinion in foreign countries. The polish parliamentary committee and the chamber rejected the jewish resolutions providing for a Complete scheme of National and religious minority fights. According to the scheme jews were to administer shelf own religious educational and charitable affairs including the emigration problem under the direction of a special ministry for religious and National minorities.

Jews there Are not in actual danger of the lives nor Are they subject to any partly near persecution but toe social system now set up has entirely ruined the economic life of the jews and what makes matters worse is that the government in Power prosecutes any special jewish organization and hinders its activity. Or.
