pare for ths Jewish ministry. irrespective
Of the tendencies to which they may pe
leaning The purpose is rather tc
bring together orthodox and liberal
or progressive in conservative scheme
We do not fear, said Mr.. ScHIFF, that
the old, uncompromising orthodoxy can
ever be transplanted and perpetuated
to any great extent on American soil,
but neither must Judaism in this great
land OF promise be permitted to evap-
crate into colorless theism.' The tone
Of the seminary was indicated in these
words Of Prof. SOLOMON ScHEcHTER,
the president:
THE history OF the United states does not begin
with the red Indian. and the history Of Its spiritual
life does not begin with the vassnes OF some pc
culiar sects. This country Is. as everybody knows
creation OF the Bible particularly the Old Tesla
ment and the Bible Is stlll holding Its own. e1er
cisins enormous influence rs real spiritual power
In spite Of all the destructive tendencies. mostly
OF foreign origin" -.
DR.. SCHEcHTER recognizes that the
mission Of the seminary must be, first OF
all. To teach the doctrines and the liter
allure of the religion which is as old as
history itself and as wide as the world,
and therefore cannot be confined to any
particular country; yet he sees that IN
America, with its peculiar religious
atmosphere. we should pay more atten-
ton TO Bible and to theology than we did
in Europe and, also, that in a demo-
cratic republic like this, everything
should be avoided in the teaching Of
theological institutions which is calcu-
lated to emphasize the difference be-
tween the laity and priesthood, or rabbi
hood
II was significant of the growth Of d
new feeling Of fraternity, in place Of the
bitterness to which we have referred,
that one Of the most important speeches
at the dedication WAS made by DR.. KAUF-
NAN KoHLER, the president-elect Of the
Hebrew Union College at Cincinnati.
The division of the Jews into two great
camps, schools and systems, currents Of
thought, said DR.. KoHLER, is the thing
that has kept the Jew strong and healthy
in mind and heart; we must have two
camps in this country differing in regard
to details. but essentially one
II will be seen. therefore, that the
influences exerted by this institution,
though conservative. will not be of the
exclusively Orthodox school, which the
later food of Jewish immigration has
been strengthening in this country. The
seminary will be strictly Jewish institu-
ton, however, in striving to keep up the
fidelity Of the race to their ancient re-
ligion and to combat the tendency, 20
marked at this time in Judaism and
Christianity, to fall away from religious
belief altogether.

WARRINGTON, April 27.-In q document

Railroad the admission is made that or
ganised labor forced the road into raising
it's wages to employees from ~ to Is per
cent. Tho document was the answer Of
the Texas and Pacific company to the COM
plant Of the commission In the matter OF
class and commodity rates from st. Louis
to Texas. common points over the Missouri
Pacific and other roads In the same territory.
The answer admits that about March IL
Of this year the Texas and Pacific. In con-
nection with other carriers, made certain
advances In Its rates. but expressly de-
mics that these advances were unreasonable,
justiaed BY the s' Conditions condition Il Is con-
tended that there Ia no discrimination
against any particular person, firm, cor
porntion, place or locality. and that the
action Of the roads was not In violation Of
the Sherman act.
II Is alleged that the average increase In
tariff did not exceed 10 per cent, while the
increase In wages forced upon the Texas
and Pacific by the labor unions Of railroad
employees averaged between II and 10
per cent.
The answer also says IN defence Of tho
action of the road that the cost OF all ma
terial used In its operation Is higher than
ever before, that q great deal OF money has
been spent on improvements, that extensive
repairs are now In progress, that the road
has never paid dividend on its stock, and
that 1t Is by right entitled to q fair return
upon its invested capital.

Between YAH and Harvard are subjects
Of dispute which win never be settled
until they arc put to slssp BY . strong

and Harvard II Mr.. RoosEvEIT would

might smack too much Of consolidation.

the world was ending when ELIOT began

Cambridge cannot be surprised by any

could be more welcome than Mr.. R0osE-
WELT. Between him and them there Is q
certain similarity and sympathy Of mem

of indifference would fall. A loud,
strenuous and terrible race Of Harvard
men would grow up, men that have got
the stuff In them The effect upon the
intellect, and particularly the football,
of the university would be marvellous.
Best Of all, Harvard would have a presi-
dent who would teach her sons not to
defend scabs, as her present president
does, but TO abominate them. Here. after
all, is the irresistible lure to Mr.. RoosE-
WELT. What more fruitful task could
be given to statesman and an educator
than to bring our so-called higher insti-
buttons Of learning up to the level Of the

But all this is far away. For the pres
