HEBREW TOLERANCE AND cANDoR

Some time ago the Hebrew Free Think
crs' Association. of Boston. appointed q
committee to investigate and report upon
tho evidences to sustain or refute the con-
tsntion OF distinguished Jewish rabbi
who held that Jesus was either q myth or
an impostor. The report of this commit.
tee is one of the most significant events of
the period, from religious point of view,
and is most gratifying in the evidence it
affords that the progressive spirit of the
sge is freeing men from the shackles of
prejudice and from subsection to slavish
acceptance Of tradition.
This report announces the conviction of
these learned Hebrew investigators that
Christianity cannot be the product of de-
fusion or deceit. 1t produces voluminous
evidence that the teachings of Jesus have
hroadened Judaism. II cites numerous
facts. rncontradicted by counter facts, to
prove that life is most tolerahle 10 the
Jews. that they aud their religion are most
lourishing, among the nations that most
perfectly conform to the spirit of Christ's
teachings and religion.
But viewing the question from strictly
Jewish standpoint. il Is held that even the
Hebrews themselves should accept Jesus
as having fulfilled their law. inasmuch as
no Hebrew prophet has appeared within
20 years TO disprove His claims. The
members of this Hebrew committee wind
Up their report with an assurance that
they win welcome proof from any quarter

STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.


The Walla Walla Union believes that the
most important work Of the State Agricul-
tural College and experiment station, soon
to be established, will be to study the prob
lem Of turning the dry regions of Eastern
Washington into productive fields. With
this idea in view it urges that the estab-
lishment be located at Yakima, where
there are special opportunities for study
ing the irrigation problem in all its phases.
II says:
The lessons that win be taught by the
work Of the agricultural college can be exempli-
fed by . glance ct the possibilities Of agricul-
tural development in Walla Walla county. This
county with its 1895 square miles, has only
about 900 acres in cultivation, out Of total
of over 10000 acres of area. OF this acreage at
least 10000 acres il by nature Of character that
could be cultivated with success. But large
part Of this area is comprised in lands, like the
Eureka fat and the Touchet hills, composed OF
sand and ashes, needing water to make any
not be excelied in productiyeness by
any land, even in this prolific coun-
try. In our opinion this Is the business
OF the college, to teach the coming generation OF
farmers how best to apply science to the reclaim
alton Of what would otherwise be waste lands.
In the case OF this county, the productive area
could be largely increased, and the productivity
OF that in cultivation ct the present time could
be very nearly doubled. With other agricultural
counties OF the state this ratio could be made
much larger. But lesson of this kind cannot
be taught if the college is located in Whitman
county, where the land is OF one grade, aud the
climate rather rigorous. But with the college in
Yakima county, this important work Of expert
menting on the reclamation of land could bu
prosecuted successfully.

BURLEsoUEING SCIENCE.

DR.. w. G. Gentry. of Chicago, about
whom and his alleged discovery of the
grippe microbes long dispatch was pub
hshed yesterday, most likely plumes him
self that he will at once take rank with
Kepler. Newton, Laplace, Darwin and men
of that ilk. He is evidently one of a large
class who by grotesque and absurd fulmin-
atoms in the name Of science or as pre-
tending scientists discredit the work and
the revelations of those who really possess
scientific knowledge and pursue scientific
methods.
OF this class there are several pretentious
writers, tolerated by respectable magazines,
who, with an air of profundity, investigate
and in oracuiar scientific phrase report
upon phantasms. Authorizations. table
tippings. mysterious knockings, and all
manner of diseased imaginings as proper
and important adjuncts TO study and
comprehension of Psychologists if the
nature and functions of the human soul
were to be scientifically ascertained by a
study of abnormal or fancied manifesto
tons, mental and mechanical.
Dr. uentry, In waving MS polished mi
crobe slide in an atmosphere known to be
infected with la grippe, and in compar.
ing the microbe thus captured with others
obtained from the mucus of patients af.
ilicted with the epidemic, and in establish
ing an identity between the two, whether
knowingly or the reverse, pursued scienti-
fic methods. II he had been content to
continue as he had begun, and having
found and identified the microbc had dis
covered an agent for its destruction. all
would have been well and he might have
been enrolled among the benefactors ofhis
race, entitled to proud niche in the tenn.
pie of fame,
But not satisfied with the discovery of
an important fact. he must needs invent
far-fetched scientific" theory. Not salts
fed with discovering that the little pest
was there in the air of Chicago, and to adj
dress himself TO the discovery Of means
for its destruction. he must go sky-scrap-
ing Tor theory TO account for its being
there. And forthwith he seized and
pressed into his service fancifnl notion.

No little stir was created at recent
meeting of Wesleyan ministers in England,
when one of their number read an elabor-
ate argument in support of the composite
character of the Pentateuch and the dual
authorship Of the book of Isaiah, closing
with a declaration, that the traditional
view of inspiration is no longer tenable.
This from Professor Dawson, one Of the
most learned and eminent of their number,
was staggering surprise, which assumed
the proportions of CONSERVATION when DR..
Rigg added that he had never accepted
the doctrine OF verbal inspiration, and DR..
Simon expressed relief to find that Metho-
dist standards did not affirm definite
views of inspiration. The idea of liberal
Interpretation seems to be developing in
all Of the churches.

The proposition made by some members
Of the Board of Aldermen to make approval
of work upon the Lake Union sewerage
tunnel contingent upon concurrent work
for the southern tunnel Is one which
should not be sustained.
Both tunnels are necessary, but IN the
plan contemplated by the city when the
sewer bonds were issued tunnel 70 the
south of Madison street was not included
as IN immediate necessity. The amount
available, $4,000, is wholly inadequate
to provide construction Of both tunnels,
and another issue of bonds must be made
before the second can be attempted.
The condition of the two lakes is very
dissimilar. Lake Union is becoming q
source of immediate danger to the whole
city, and not an hour should be lost. As
the resolution framed by Mr.. G. B. Bagley
expresses it, 1.-THE tunnel should be COM
structed with all the rapidity consistent
with economical working" The people Of
thickly-setslcd district have been COM
PEELED to forego necessary supply of water
because of the extent to which the lake is
impregnatcd. This is sufficient inconven-
fence without the further hazard created
by what threatens to become . vast cess
pool.
Lake Washington must also, in the inter-
ests Of the city, be protected from contain
ination, but its proportion. in depth and
extent, is as two hundred to one when
compared with Lake Union. The extent
to which its waters could be impregnated
for some time is in far greater dispropor-
ton.
The passage Of resolution directing
concurrent construction and then leaving
the means by which the work is to be paid
for to chance, or to q wiser succeeding
council, is not the course which will COM
mend the Board of Aldermen to the APP
proval of the taxpayers.
The new policy Of planning ahead, of
providing the means before mourning the
liability, is the only one upon which any
intelligent action can be based.
Conscientious zeal and the interest of
constituents is not to be condemned, but
the Board of Aldermen is especially looked
to, as the legislative body elected at large,
to assimilate local claims, and its conclus-
ions should always be based upon the
broadcast and most comprehensive con-
siderations.
