Scanning the Horizon

Hniadway  Lwsck Lure
Under Jewish siionsor.'ihip; a new hotel witli one thmisatul moms is being rushed to eoniplclicin in the Times -Sipiare dis¬ trict. One wonders al the rui^h, in the face of the present situation, wlien New York ImteLs are so loudly bewailing their lot. Never In-fore have tbey been so .scantily filled, and nol a small per- centDi^u of them are in the hands oi rc- ecivers. Not a few of the lar^e hotel.s too were built by Jews.
Of course, the depre.ssiou exiilains tii some measure the alacrity of f^tiests,. but .if vou talk to aiiy.uf the hotel men for a time,, you will sO^ii learn there is an¬ other reason. 1 .Xnd that is, that as an attraction center New York i.s a (;ood deal played tint.        ' ¦
It'.s sad butittiie. It i.s a fact that nut more than half; the K"*-'Sts that used to .auticipale seeing the IJroadviay bright lights linger in goth'ani nowadays. And the reason ior this i.s, merely, that many of the towns thrtnighout the country now offer pretty much the same qpportwinties for anuisenieiit that New Vork aiTord.s.:
Thou.saiid.s • formerly anticipate<l the pleasures of the New York shows, but with tbe talkies and the radios available everywhere, your average visitor does not get very c:ccited about Broadway tbcatnicals. Hotel men tell me that thon- •saiids who formerly saved to go to New York now use the money to go to Flor¬ ida, or the coast.
The old gray mare isn't what she used to be. .
Where the Catch Is
¦ Whatever one inaj- think of l,<ird Me! chett. however one may di.s.-igree with bis views, it must be admitted that they are always interestingly put.
I am thinking of his address before a group of business men. in which be coni- meiHlcd lAmerica  for its high tariff.
That was strange talk coining from an KiiffHsbiTian. who manifestly would be interested in .seeing America 'nwcr the tarifT.
Rut the catch was in the last sentence
'*We think so much of your tariff that we in England intend to follow suit. It will tindolibtedly please you, as it pleases I'veryone when others follow 1 their thouglits."
That is rubbing' It in alright! That MisBinj; Judge
Some time, ago, in this column, I chronicled and lamented the iact that a number of Jewisii applicants for a judge¬ ship got to fighting among themselves, wiicn Tammany Hair decided to ajipoint a Jewish juilge. Jt i.^ an unwritten law, I iKtiiited out, that Tammany" apptiuit.-; a given, numher of Catholics and Protes¬ tants and JcAVs, to judgeshii>5. Thi.s time Ihe plum was to have gone to a Jewish candidate, hut there was such a bitter rpiarrel among the Jewish candidates that ,u non-Jew was named Instead.    ,
That non-Jew—yoii may have heard his name recently—was Judge Crater, the gentleinnn who recently took French leave of his judicial position.
I see now by the papers that Isadore J. Kresel, a partner of the former dis- triet attorney, Wm. T. Jerome, is being mentioned as likely to receive Crater's post, so that the po.st will finally go to a Jew after all.
I can never get enthusiastic about the appointment of a Jew merclv because he is a Jew, hut the naming of Kresel Would please me immensely. For be happens to be a man of signal ability, and hon¬ esty, as thnse will realize who will recall the part he played in the amhulaiice chas¬ ing invcstigatian.
Horses and Holidays
Jewi.sb Tribune WaMacb tells it. Two luiii-jews were discussing tbe day im which Yoiu Kippur falls. Tliey could not agree aud decided t<i put tbe ijuery to a Jfiyish friend.
¦ So forthwith tbey marched to liiin: 'Say, Miltcn, when docs Yom Kipjiur
come?" ' ,
*'I <loii't know anything about races," was tbe rieplv.
; A "Fast" Horse If I am not mistaken, some year;; ago, there was a horse running in one of the l^iiglish derbieti with the name of Yom Kipimr and I have a vague recollection that it made a very good showing. Cer- tainlj', judging bv its iiaine'. it sluiuld have been a *'fast" horse. One of those liorriblc puns, but I refuse to aiKiIogizc any further for puns, in the light of a professor's recent <lificIo.sure of unmer<ius puns in the Hthle.
Yes, the professor revealed that no less a man thai) Isaiah made frequent use of puns. Otie of the Instances he cited was the .sentence: "Im lo saaininu, lo sayahmanti." *'If you do not believe, you shall not he established." In Hug- Jish the pmi is ^ii course lost, but in He¬ brew, there is a play <i[ similar word.s.
.And the professor revealed that the prophets were (|uiti- prone to these woid plavs.
And 1 d'> not think any the less qf them on that accotiiit, rather more, for the couclusittn ia plain that the prophets were not mereh- inspired semi-angels walking abrnit wltb messaires frnm on high, but very human, ami thev .sought in every human way to catch the ears of tbe nniltitiide. And a good pun will help do that.
Dancin>! and Yom Kippur
Strange it is. but it .seems to me that the "feasting" holidav is the most popular iiolidav in llie Jewish religious calendar. Certainly, judging from the attendance at synagogue and temple It would appear .   to he.
In Taltnudic days. I gather, it was (tulte fre(|iient for the voiinif iieople to gather together on that day for dancing.
Not so many years ago. of course, it was the habit of those who desired to annov the rellgioiis nu'nded to gather to¬ gether at Yom Kii>pur halls. All of that is gone now. Tbe atheisticallv inclined si-einiiigly   are   prctly   nearly   all   gone,

Registering
I. W. Garek In Letter To The Kditor   Of   The   Chronicle Decries The Indifference   • Of Many
The   following   letter   from   Assislant "'^rosLcutor 1. W, (iarek speaks for itself. Because of its fjjiportuneuess aud the in¬ exorability ,of   its  logic wc are printing il herewith iu  full:— To the Kditor of tbe Ohio Jewish CliTom'cIe, ("ohinibns, Ohio. 1
Dear  Sir:—
lilvcry Jew within the bounds of the State of Ohio owes himself and his com-, munity the duty oi registering on Oc¬ tober lOth and Hth.
The riglits of CJti/en.sIii(> of every man and wi.iman in our community give them the power of choosing representa¬ tive officials in the govcrnmetit of its people aiuI in the administration of jus¬ tice.
Many important i>o.sitious in I'rfmklin Ccinnty and'the State nf Ohio are to he filled iu the election this November, the control of which affects our possessions and the peace and progress of our com¬ munity.
How ini|>ortant it is f<ir every man and woman to register and vote is quite evi¬ dent. In this cniinectioa there is no dif- lerciitiatioii Iictweeii }*i\\' and Cientile. Yet, it is with regret that the writer notes the apparent indifference of tbe Jewish people in this locality in exercis¬ ing' their riglit of franchise. The best proof of this statement is available in tbe records at tlw Tioard of Elections at Columbns, Ohio.
The i)ld system nf registering for every [jrimary election has been abolished. Register on October 10th and llth and there will be no need for continual regis¬ tration unless one moves from bis pres¬ ent address.' The plan of permanent reg¬ istration should attract hundreds of our people who for lack of time, uidifference, ur other reasons have failed to perform
duty incumbent upon all Citizens.
There are at least five "thousand .Jews eligible to register and vote iu Franklin County. \Vbat public official would fail recoi'iiize thi,s fact? , Every-Jew who fails to vote and select officials who govr cm bim has no right to criticize them.
The sooner, the-Jew realizes the power ffnrde<l bim by his riglit to vote, the sooner will public officials realize the necessity, imiMjrtance, and propriety, of having Jewish representatives in govern: ment., „   ¦
These statements are not made with ft view of building up a Jewish iwlitlcal machine, hut solely with the hope of im¬ pressing upon our jieoplc the importance ir. participating in the,rights guaranteed to them by the Constitution of the United States.-
Let every Jewish Citizen, man or wo¬ man, realize that he or she Is a stock¬ holder in the business of the city, county aud state,-involving infinitely more money nd property thau he or she could hope to slightly control.
Our  cond>ined ettorts  In the right of franchise should and would in a way af¬ fect t,he destiny  of our people. Very, truly-yours,
(Signed)  I. W. Garek, Ass't.  Pro.s. Atty.,   I'raiiklin  County
