The rabbi, unlike other preachers has duties outside of his church. His pr - necessary assume that he will charge, liberally, for the service rendered, there. Thus the high cost of living is handed an- other boost. Kasher meat will be more expensive, as the rabbi's contri- 1 to be figured in. He will get the Jew at least, coming and going, and in the middle. We are speechless. Utterly. DISCARDING THE KINGS The' return of former Archduke Joseph, a Hapsburgh, to power in Hung has met with a storm of dis- approval from all concerned, the Allies and the Hungarians themselves. There is evidently no wish<to have the taint of former royalty upon the gov- ernments that so recently lost their | kings. Joseph, be his intentions good or bad, s slated for the exit toboggan, worn smooth by his confreres of for- mer Teutonic thromes. He is not welcome as pre ident, premier.” or anyihing that sounds like the head of Hungarn We are told that the Supreme Cowncil n Paris exne to hear of hig resignation within a day or so. ossibly it has already taken place We are also informed that he is not going to be entirel cast off but will take the post of commander-in-chief of the Hungarian army. A new gubi- net is being formed. Thus the man- dates of the Allies are being obscrved. They stated, several days ago, in an official communication to the Hun-| garians that the present government must go or fail in recognition, as it Wwas not a popular one and promised to breed further trouble. Withheld recognition spells withheld food and the Hungarians are seemingly willing 10 uact at once. 3 The distrust of royalty exists in eve owing to the me which a true Emperor is able to get his country into, so aptly demonstrated by Hohenzollern. Dictatorships under any guis are unpopular. It is being proven every day. Greats Britain with its King is one of thie few'exceptions to the rule of democracies. However, on_the British Isles, Edward is King in'namé only. He has not the power of the Presi- dent of the United States and is merely a figurchead symbolizing gov- ernment, for the Britisher to adore. Thus he gives peréonality 1o knglish patriotism. Politics and political <opinions may come and go, the, leader in Parlinment suffers or beneflts from | the trend of opinion. The King has ittle to do with internal or external affairs. To ask for his removal would be the equivalent of asking the ! Englishman to forget his patriotism. EBERT TARKES .()l"l-'l(’l‘l. President Libert, of the . new ‘German Republic, took his oath of office at Weimar recently amidst a grand hurrah from an admiring pop- ulace. The conditions under which he assumed the Presidency, his words at ‘the time, and the implied promises of the populace, were maliters with e there were not the suspicion of the which “we should heartily agr Hun still in our minds. The history of “many vears of misrepresentation and national ‘dishonor will prove a hard thing for the Gegpman to live down. His preliminary statements, of honorable - sound, unfortunately are unconsciously compared with similar m;rgm-l\.\ of the past. The German has & hard row to hoc in proving his sin- cerity, but when it is proved, he will be graciously received into a brother- hood of nations again.
