UnaMliated Jews

tions have heroically struggled with the
problem of the unaffiliated but all in
vain Despite the numerous remedies
proposed for the transformation Of the
"llnchurched' into the churched'
jew, we are still confronted with that
anomalous condition in the domestic at
fairs of Judaism, in which the ''un-
churched' Jew demands and receives the
joys and consultations Of his religion,
when occasions-such as marriage and
death-require, without being compelled
to recognize his financial responsibility
to the Temple and its ministry. The
Central Conference Of American Rabbis,
the Union of American Jewish Congre
cations and other organized bodies IN
American Judaism have all failed to
show way out of this unfortunate state
Of affairs. At present there seems to be
no relief in sight and the unchurched' y
Jew promises to be a horrible bete-noire
for many moons to come.
To us it seems that there is only one
way to face the problem and that is cour-
ageously and honestly. We have had
enough eQuivOcatiOn and begging OF the
question. The race Jew, the ''Jew-in
name-only," are so much excess baggage

cations in the same city unite and make

might seem to involve a harsh proceed

Nome. Oct. 26.-(From the Gold Digger Close upon the grand jury's secret indintments returned against the notorious Midas creek swindlerr, Duncan and Griggs, comes the news of their arrest and detention at Portland, Ore.
 Last Friday Capt. J. T. Watson received a telegram from E. NJ. Word, sheriff of Multonomah coun- ty, Oregon, announcing that the two much wanted hnanciers were in Portland, and asking for instruc- tions as to their disposition from the authorities here. United States Marshal Frank H. Richards lost no time in putting the following tele- gram on the wire:

 Complaints were hled against them by United States District Al. torney Hoyt and warrants were placed tn the hands of Deputy Mar shal M Cody. who took passage on the steamer St Paul.

Oyster Bay, N. J., Sept. 3o.- When President Roosevelt was re- turning home from walk with friends today man suddenly ap- peared and clumsily drew revolver and tried to shoot the president. His intentions were instantly di- vined, however, and several sprang forward to seize him. He was quickly overpowered and turned over to the police.
 The man who attempted the murder was F.. Reeves. He is practically unknown here. and as yet the secret service agents have been able to find out but little of his past career. The onlJ expla- nation the authorities can offer for the rash attempt is lunacy. Reeves talks drivel when interviewed in his cell and carries on wildly about national government and the two big political partles.
 By a recent law. aa attempt Go take the presidents life was made punishable by death. Reeves comes under this ruling and the case will be the first of its kind The au' thotities have instituted a searching investigation under the theory that is tx possi .e Reeves may be ieign. tng demeniis to escape the penalty he eaEmed

met four tribes of Esquimaux or Huskies' The Kogmoliks have their headquarters at Herschell island; the Neumataimics around the mouth of the Coppermine; the Point Barrows ill the district sur rounding Barrow Point, from which they get their name, and the Mazinpers, on the Siberian coast.
 The Huskie is an adept in the art of tattooing. Each tribe have their own peculiar tattoo, with which they are branded on the chin, or cheek or fore head. as the Case may be. They also, as is better known, have their lips pierced and fish bones inserted in them. Of the four tribes mentioned, the Neumataimics are the least educated, being scarcely able to understand word of English, while the other tribes have a snlattering knowledge of it.
 They are usually supplied with guns and ammunition by the northern whalers and they hunt and capture great num- Der of splendid moose, deer, mountain goat and cariboo on the spur of the Reck- ies that runs parallel with the Asiatic coast line. In this way the whalers have good supply of fresh meat and there is no danger of scurvv Although the Huskie has adoptad the guns and ammu- milton of the white man, he clings to the ancient flint instead of using matchies which the traders would be willing to supply them with.
 The natives live during winter in snow houses, and in summer camp right on the bare beach in tents supplied them by the whalers. The fact that they can secure a much more comfortable camping place back few rods means nothing to them.
 In the Far North winter is of nine months duration and the summers three. During six weeks of this three months the sun never goes down. It shines contin- uously from May 30 to July I2. Icebergs can be seen at the coast all the year round. During the winter very lad blizzards occur without the slightest warning of their approach. In summer also the weather is unreliable and great wind storms come up.

Canadian Policeman
 Sees Lift
 Among the Nuskies

Bulletin gives the following inter esting accoun: of Northwest Mount ed Police Constable Gllpin's trip to the Arctic ocean and the conditions prevailing there:
 Constable Gilpin had remarkabl trip. Leaving Edmonton in May year ago with Superintendent Constantine, he padded from Athabasca Landing down the river to Fort McMurray a distance of about 25o miles. From Fort McMurray they were taken ill charge by the Hud sons Bay company and travelled by steamer to Fort McPherson at the mouth of the Peel river, the most northerly Hud- sons Kay post. From McPherson they travelled to Herschell island in the carly winter by dogs.
 The police found the reports that the American traders were selling intoxicants and lebauching the natives to be incor- rect. Constable Gilpin is especially en- thusiastic regarding the Huskies. He found them an industrious and intelli- gent class. The Huskies hunt the whole year round capturing summer and winter fur. They do the large part of their trading with the American whalers, from whom they get guns and ammunition and tobacco. They take no trinkets and disdain the paltry ornaments that the
 I with companies that operate throughout the northern districts Is pelt for pelt. There are no wolverine skins OH the Arctic coast, and the Huskie feels that there is a certain element of his manhood miss ing if he is not equipped with hrst-class wolverine skins. He wears no store clothes. as all northern Indians do. The trade carried OH with the Americen whalers is profitable to the Huskie. He gets a good price for his turs, as the whalers bring the goods into the Arctic from San Francisco by water. This IS very different to the condition i'll which the Hudson's Bay find themselves. For instance, the whalers, after paying the duty imposed by Canada, can sell flour at Herschell island for sI.75 per hundred weight, while it costs the Hudson's Bay company Sz3 to freight this amount from Edmonton. The whalers come i'll fully equipped for trading and carry on large business with the Huskies. No beavers or wolverines are taken on the northern coast, but white foxes. bear and lynx abound. The natives secure steel from the traders. and are expert mechanics m their own way. They make splendid Jack knives and tobacco knives out of rough pieces of steel, and this by the most primitive methods. In this they show unlimited patience.
 The Huskics are perfectly free irom the savage traits that wefv so character is,ic of the Indians. They are very so- eiable and wish to live on the best of terms witAthe tradefs.

Parker New York.

New York has been a democratic
state since 1868. when the democratic
party was united and possessed an eff
fcient organization. The party is in
good fighting trim this year. and has
better organization than it has had
since 1892. The democratic candidate
for president is a native New Yorker.
a man of the highest character and
Of great ability. He will carry his
own state, as Tilden did. and as Hor-
alto Seymour did. His opponent is a
New Yorker, too, but unlike Judge
Parker. his popularity is yet to be dem
onstrated. Mr.. Roosevelt has never
been a strong candidate where he is
best known. He won out in a legisla-
tive contest in 1881, when he was run
ming in a strong republican district,
and he got a paItry plurality of 1900
votes, when, with all his Cuban war
glory, he ran for governor in 1893. the
democracy not having recovered from
the disastrous defeat of 1886. AS can
didate for mayor of New York City,
Mr.. Roosevelt was a bad third, being
distanced by the democratic candidate,
and left in the rear by the labor candi-
date.

We're confident of victory when Cleve-

Don't forget that one democratic vote

Don't forget that taxes are getting

Don't forget that for four years
President Roosevelt has had daily op-
pOrtunities TO check the trusts but has
done practically nothing.
Don't forget that Lawrence B. String

hundreds of millions of dollars that
have been expended in the Philippine

builders of our own country. Il would
have given us a magnificent system of
good roads over our entire country, or
have built two canals across the 18TH

subjugate the people of far distant
countries it would have. in my judg-
ment, be much wiser 10 endeavor to
benefit our own people at home.

IrlDune's attempt at all times TO IN

such that its efforts now to direct the

Accordingly, let il be said that f
the papers which the Tribune has new

their meagre influence TO the aid of
the Chicago charter movement. il has
been because of the standing of the
citizenship of Chicago that has been

toward il. The fact that the leaders
and candidates of the great political

William J. Bryan makes his last
appeal in the current issue of The Com

Every man is responsible for his in

democrat who votes for Parker votes
TO defeat Roosevelt. Every democrat
who does not vote for Parker con
tributes toward the election of Roose-

criticism. President Roosevelt's posi-
ton is worse; where they differ. as
they do on many important questions.
Parker is right and Roosevelt is
wrong
Roosevelt favOrs a high tariff: Par
ker favOrS tariff reform. Roosevelt
tavors a standing army of 10000 at
the minimum; Parker favors a reduc-
.tion of the army. Roosevelt has
brought the race issue into national
politics; Parker would remove the race
issue from politics.
Roosevelt stands for colonial pol
icy; Parker favors independence for
the FflipinOs and would make the
promise now
Roosevelt took into the white house
