>The Jewish Question exists wherever Jews appear, says Theodor Herzl, because they bring it with them. It is not their numbers that create the Question, for there is in almost every country a larger number of other aliens than of Jews. It is not their much-boasted ability, for it is now coming to be understood that, give the Jew an equal start and hold him to the rules of the game, and he is not smarter than anyone else; indeed, in one great class of Jews the zeal is quenched when opportunity for intrigue is removed. The Jewish Question is not the number of Jews who reside here, not in the American’s jealousy of the Jew’s .success, certainly not in any objection to the Jew’s Mosaic rcligioii'; it is in something else, and that something else is the fact of Jewish influence on the life of the country where Jews dwell; in the United States it is the Jewish influence on American life. That the Jews exert an influence, they themselves loudly proclaim. The Jews claim, indeed, that the fundamentals (ir the United States are Jewish and not Christian, and that Uie entire* hi iry of this country should be re-written to make proper acknowledgement of the prior glory due to Judah. If the question of influence rested entirely on the .Icwinh claim, there would be no occasion for doubt; they claim it all. But it is kindness to hold them to the facts; il i.s also more clearly explanatory of the conditions in our country.

>If they insist that they “gave us our Bible” and “gave us their God” and "gave us our religion,” as they do over and over again with nauseating superciliousness through-out all their polemic publications — not a tingle one of these claims being true — they must not grow impatient and profane while we complete the list of the real influences they have set at work in American life. It is not the Jewish people but the Jewish idea, and the people only as vehicles of the idea, that is the point at issue. In this investigation of the Jewish Question, it is Jewish influence and the Jewish Idea being discovered and defined

>The Jews are propagandists. This was originally their mission. But they were to propagate the central tenet of their religion. This they failed to do. By failing in this they, according to their own Scriptures, failed everywhere. They are now without a mission of blessing. Few of their leaders even claim a spiritual mission. But the mission idea is still with them in a degenerate form; it represents the grossest materialism of the day; it has become a means of sordid acquisition instead of a channel of service.
