RABBI ENLOW ON
IBSEN'S GHOSTS

mo man need be swayed by the
ghosts of his ancestors. -
This statement was made by Rabbi
II. c. Enelow, formerly of Temple Is.
rsel here, in . sermon delivered at the
Temple Adas Israel at Louisville.
Rabbi Enelow was commenting on
Ibsen's strong problem play, entitled
Ghosts" In strong discourse
Rabbi Enelow severely attacked the
lesson to be deducted from Ibsen's pro-
duotion. He maintained that man
need Lot be shsckled by the ghosts Of
his ancestors, and that Ibsen's hero is
merely a type of weak men with
which the world is too largely filed,
but whose qualities should be avoided
and taken as a warning that man
should rise above the ghosts of his an
cestors.
At n certain stage in life every man
realizes his moral weakness, as we'll
as his physical imperfections, Rabbi
Enel'w said, and it is when this real
izati IN comes that tine man must be-
gin the struggle against the GHOSTS
OF his ancestors, - il the struggle is to
be made at all He commended that
when this realization comes the man
has the choice to either succumb to
the influence Of the ghosts Of his an
cestors or else to battle against them
and rise paramount to his inheritance.
Rabbi Enelow argued that . man
with the magnificent talents which
Ibsen's hero 10 portrayed to have could,
il he but set his mind to the task, rise
superior to his paternal inheritances.
1.-THE consciousness Of power makes
man glad to Dve," said RABBI Enelow
further along in his sermon. Life
is the opportunity for gratifying de-
sires and realizing ambitions. Better
the days Of suffering and unrealized
hope than the days Of complete achieve
ment Power is JOY and youth is the
dawn of power.
In this connection Rabbi Enleow ex.
planned the happiness Of youth by say
ing that in this stage Of life the man
begins to realize his power.
THE boy says, I shall do this or
shall DO that, said Rabbi Enelow.
He adduced from this lesson that there
is JOY and happiness in the realization
Of power.
Mock and belittle a child and you
have successfully thwarted his eduoa-
tion because his knowledge Of power
is crushed and he becomes a victim of
the ghosts of his ancestors "

This bill seems to be loaded. The

to the law when it is made only mis-

Crop Report.

The w Gather Bureau 3 weekly summary
of crop conditions is as follows:
The temperature conditions for the
week ended May 9 were favorable in all
districts, with the exception Of the North
Pacific Coast and Middle Rocky Noun.
tain region, where frosts and freezing
temperatures were injurious. Heavy
rains in portions of the Lower Missouri
and Red River of the North valleys and
in Texas retarded work and caused dam
age by washing land, but were of great
benefit in relieving the drought conditions
in Western Texas. Drought was also re-
lieved in portions of the South Atlantic
and East Gulf States, but continues over
a large part of these districts, and at the
close Of the week rain was generally
needed in the Middle Atlantic States. The
States of the Ohio Valley and Lake re-
gion experienced a week of highly favor
able conditions.
Corn planting is now in operation un-
der very favorable conditions throughout
the northern portion of the corn belt In
Nebraska, Kansas, and northern Missouri
however, planting has been interrupted
by rains. In Iowa this work has made
good grogress and it is likely that the
bulk of the crop in that State will be
planted earlier than in recent years. Over
the Southern portion of the Middle At
lantic States planting is we'll advanced
and has begun in Pennsylvania ond New
Jersey.
A general improvement in the condition
of winter wheat is indicated, especially
over the Western portions of the winter
wheat belt and in the Middle Atlantic
States, but the outlook for this crop in the
States of the Ohio Valley continues very
poor.
Spring wheat seeding is largely finish
ed, except on wet lands in the northern
portions of North Dakota and Minnesota
The early sown over the southern portion
of the spring wheat region is making good
growth. on the North Pacific Coast the
week has been too cool for rapid advance
ment. ..-s.-.
Early sown oats are generally improved
and in promising condition throughout
the Central valleys and Middle Atlantic
States, but in the South Atlantic and
East Gulf States, where oats are now
heading, the outlook is very poor.
The reports respecting fruit are some
what more encouraging, and indicate that
in many section injury from frost has
been less serious than was anticipate
Peaches have. however, been extensively
killed in the Ohio Valley and Middle At
lantic States In the Eastern Gulf States
the outlook for peaches is very promis
ing. especially in Georgia.
The general outlook for grass is favor
| able.

Tea Agent Arrested.

Deputy Sheriff George s. Dove Tues
day evening arrested William E. Perego-
ry, of Washington, for alleged violation
of the hawkers and peddler's law in this
county. He was taken before Justice j..
Edwin Tolson, of Forestville, and fined
$40 and costs, amounting to $5025. He
refused to pay his fine, and was brought
here Tuesday night, but was not placed in
Jail, although being in the keeping of
Deputy Sheriff Dove.
Peregory for several years has been
driving wagon for a Washington tea
company, and soliciting orders from indi.
viduals throughout the county and deliv-
ering the goods afterward. The mer-
chants of the county could not compete
with this firm, and got together and had
bill passed at the last legislature requir-
ing any hawker or peddler who was a
nonresident to take out regular ped
dler's license, which is $500, before he
can sell to a consumer. This law does
not apply to peddlers or hawkers of cakes,
bread, crackers, oysters, fish, fruits, or
vegetables.
After being brought here, Peregory tel
ephoned to the manager of the Washing
ton company, c. G. Van Allen, and &C
quainted him of his arrest. Mr.. Van Al
len Immediately set out for this town,
and after arriving consulted lawyer,
and decided to test the law, as he said
his company was paying State license,
although the goods delivered to the con-
sumers came from the Washington branch
of the company. Bond was furnished in
double the amount of the fac imposed
and Peregory wac released.

Chesapeake Beach Loses Case.

The Court of Appeals of the District of
Columbia has decided the case of the
Chesapeake Beach Railroad Company
against the Washington, Potomac and
Chesapeake Beach Railway Company,
holding that the court did not err in &C.
cepting the deed conveying the right of
way as an effectual conveyance of the le-
gal title for the purposes Of the action.
Mr. Justice Shepard, who rendered the
opinion said:gsss...zs..-s-.5 .:... ...s-s -
Finding no error in the proceedings of
the trial, the Judgment will be affirmed
with costs"
The case involved the right to the pos
session of the right of way about two miles
in length, extending from Burrville, in
the District of Columbia, to Chesapeake
Junction, near. the District line, which
had been used for many years by the Ches-
apeake Beach Railway Company in enter
ing the District of Columbia. The Wash
ington, Potomac and Chesapeake Rail
road Company claimed title to it as the
SUCCESSOR Of the. old Southern maryland
Railroad Compa (which was organized
under the laws of Maryland in 1868 to
bui.d . road from Point Lookout, in the
Chesapeake Bay, to Washington, D. c.,
and was empowered by Congress in 1882
to enter the District of Columbia. The
Southern Maryland Railroad Company
became financially involved after grading
and partially laying out its right of way,
and all of its franchises, and property
were sold as the result of foreclosure.
The Washington Potomac and Chesa-
peake Railroad Company was organized
under the laws of Maryland for the pur-
pose of acquiring the property and rights
of the old Southern Maryland Company.
In january, 1902, it instituted an action
of ejectment in the Supreme Court of the
District against the Chesapeake Beach
Railway Company to recover the posses
sion ofthe rigbt1of way in the District OF
Columbia which that company had been
using. !.t ..<5 .s.s
Inc case WAS LTleu III NoVtiHucI Ido'
before Mr.. Justice Barnard and jury
upon the testimony Of the plaintiff wit
nesses alone and judgment rendered in
favor OF the plaintiff for the possession
of the right of way. From this judgment
the defendant appealed to the Court OF
Appeals. AS the case is one of consider
able Importance, it will probably be taken
on appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States.
Messrs Charles Poe and Samel A. Put
man were the attorneys for the Washing
ton, Potomac and Chesapeake Railroad
Company, and Messrs. F. D. Mckinney
and j. 8. Flannery for the Chesapeake
Beach Railway Company.
