more a Jewish monopoly in all our cities. The department of accounts, the board of child welfare, the board of inebriety, the municipal service commission, the board of taxes and assessments, are all under the leadership and domination of Jews.
The judiciary becomes increasingly Jewish, litigation is almost overwhelmingly Jewish, and the consequences to the reputation of the courts of justice and the profession of the law are well understood. Real estate exploitation and speculation is strictly Jewish, the profiteers treating even their own co-nationalists with the utmost cruelty.
In short, New York’s most influential press (within New York) is the Yiddish press; New York’s real government is the Yiddish Kehillah; New York’s real administration of the law is the Yiddish administration; New York’s real politics is Jewish. A little more, and New York’s official language would be the Yiddish dialect.
In all this Tammany Hall is little more than a name; it is one of the rallying centers which the Jews have left the non-Jew who still interests himself in New York politics. There must be rallying places for the non-Jews, and one or two do not hurt. The Jew has the double advantage in such a matter, for while he claims equality with all, he denies equality with any. That is, any Jew proclaims his right to join any fraternity, or any club, or any society, or any party whose members are chiefly non-Jewish, but where is the Jewish fraternity, or club, or society that admits non-Jewish members? The newspapers carried the report, after a certain occurrence, that hundreds of Jews had offered to join the Knights of Columbus! It was very typical of Jewish character. But let any non-Jew attempt to join the B’nai B’rith or the Hebrew Young Men’s Association, or the Menorah Society, or any of the others: he will see how far the principle of equality operates. “We want to be part of yours, but we want our own for ourselves,” is the Jewish attitude.
