teen thousand laws and ordinances of the
Sulchan Aruch have a right to oppose
Reform Judaism. All those who do not
observe these laws, are, to say the least,
most inconsistent by opposing reform.
In this country therefore, there is no al

no Judaism at all or Reform Judaism.
For nobody can honestly deny that there
is no orthodox Judaism in this country.

with the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyter-
ian and Congregationalist. We have
ceased to be Palestinians or Zionlsts
nineteen hundred years ago, and do not
want to be Palestinians and Orientals
to-day. Particularly this free country,
for us. Reform Judaism regards the
Bible merely as literature, and therefore
accepts only it's spirit, and not its letter
Hence it is in the position to espouse
higher criticism. For it's principles need
not fear the calcium light of scientific re

a Dubois Raymond, Wellhausen, a
Kuenen, a Gunkel and other leaders OF
physical, geological, sociological and Bib
lical science can go on in their bold criti-
cisms and discoveries of new ideas, un
molested by Judaism. The long ex-
ploded theory, that where science begins
religion must cease, might have its appli-
cation regarding dogmatic religions and
creeds. Judaism is not creed but deed
not faith, but conduct. not dogma but
life not dead letter. but living spirit
Judaism is well compared by our sages
in the Talmud to water, to flowing
river and not to a stagnant pool. The
theory of evolution is demonstrated
by the multifarious stages and phases OF
Judaism during the four thousand years
of it's existence. The form changed and
will change, but the essence and kernel
are immutable, imperishable, eternal like
God. "For," exclaimed Isaiah. Gas lit
tie as I the Eternal changeth, just as
little will Israel perish.'' Isaiah Micah,
Jeremiah, Hillel, Jochanan, Ben Saccai,
Maimondies, Ibn Ezra Saadiah Spin

every one of those leaders of Judaism in
the different epochs Of it's checkered his
tory stand for different phases of Juda-
ism, and yet, Judaism in it's spirit is the
same as it ever was. All those great
teachers are in themselves conclusive
proof Of the truth Of the theory of evo-
luton in the domain Of Judaism and re-
ligion. Judaism took the best from
every civilization without however,
thereby losing it's identity.
1t would lead us too far to enter into
the details Of the Jewish Reform move
ment which was started, not in America
but almost eighty years ago in Germany
Those interested in the movement can
find all about it in my book, reform
Judaism and it's pioneers, (1892) As
to the status of Reform Judaism in this
country there is no better guide than the
platform of the rabbinical conference of
Pittsburg, held there in 1886.

and agnosticism is rampant among
them goes without saying. Their only
salvation so far as allegiance to the re-
igion of their fathers is concerned, is
Reform Judaism.
Reform Judaism is not less but more
of Judaism. This is the truth, the full
truth, and nothing but the truth, strange
AS it may sound to the ears Of many. OF
course, if the practice OF the more than
thirteen thousand laws and injrnctions
of the Shulchan Aruch would indeed, as
honest orthodoxy believes, constitute
Judaism, then reform could not mean
more but less of Judaism Again, it re-
form would mean nothing more than the
abrogation of the validity and authority
assertion would not be justifable. But
held by not few rabbis, are erroneous.
For, if this notion of reform were true,
then Reform Judaism would be only a
hundred years ago by Anan, the found
er of Karaism The Karaites, who
still exist to-day in the Crimea and
southern Russia, recognize only as bind
ing the laws of the Thorah, the Penta-
teuch or five books of Moses. but reject
the Rabbinical laws of the Talmud. This
movement was, however, far from being
progressive, retrogressive, reactionary in
the extreme, and favors blind idolatry
Of the letter. stagnation and decay. To
give an instance, No matter how cold it
is, the Karaites sit freezing on the Sab
bath because the Mosaic law fOrbids to
make fire on the day of rest. AS this
prohibition extends to the manservant
and maidservant, there is no way for the
Karaite to have warm rooms on the
Sabbath. They also sit in darkness for
the same reason on the Sabbath, which
the prophet Isaiah calls ebay Of Pleas
ure" (Oneg.)
Reform Judaism is the most progress
sive, most liberal, most reasonable phase
of our religion. It is the Judaism of the
old Hebrew Prophets, plus the accept
ance Of the results of modern science,
and contains therefore all the elements of
the future religion Of civilized mankind.
Reform Judaism is the religion of hui
manity, hence it most emphatically op-
poses the idea of a Jewish nation or
race, and can, if consistent, have no pa
tience with Zionism, which advocates
return Of the Jews to Palestine For
such foolish doctrine plays only into the
hands Of anti-semitism, which claims
that the Jew cannot be a patriot in the
land in which he lives.

NqMAN FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
Democratic Central Committee Made
No Nomin alton Endorsed Pratt
for Superintendent.

Apparently, the county demo-
cratic ticket is TO trot through the
present campaign without candi-
date for representative. AT the
time of the convention no candidate
appeared, and the place by vote of
the delegates, was left vacant for
the central committee to fill. Since
then the matter has drifted along
until a meeting of the central com
mittee was held. At that time, the
meeting adjourned without a nomi-
nation. The last day for getting
name on the ticket was yesterday,
or 80 days before the election, and
in consequence the republican and
prohibition nominees will have a
straight heat without a democratic
running mate. The latter are
Virgil A Carter republican, and
B. E. limerick prohibition.
Other features of the central COM
mittee meeting, were the election of
Samuel Bane as County chairman,
the acceptance of the resignation of
Grove Peterson as candidate for
school superintendent and the in
dorsement of S. I. Pratt, indepen-
dent, for the place. The resignation
of Mr.. Peterson is as follows:

To the Democratic Central Com
mittee.
Gentlemen;
On account of the serious and
continued illness of my wife, max
ing it impossible for me to canvas
the county and my presence athome
a necessity, I feel compelled to de-
cline the nomination for county
school superintendent, rendered me
by the late democratic convention.
I wish to thank the members OF
the convention collectively and in
dividually for their expression OF
good will, and confidence in my
fitness for the Office.
Very Respectively,
Grove A. Peterson.

THE LATE TRAGEDY.
Its Causes Discussed by Portland

Newspaper.
Portland Oregonian
The Corvallis TIMES, possessing
the advantage that comes from per-
sonal knowledge of the subject
treated, and of the conditions pre-
cedent and leading up to the late
tragedy in Corvallis, makes plain
fair and candid statement of facts
in the case, which the community
at large may we'll ponder. In this
view The Oregonian gave space to
this statement on its editorial page
Monday and hereby commends its
perusal to those of its readers who
have overlooked it.
1t is plain from the facts presen-
ted-it should be plain without the
preliminary presentment of such
facts-that community that can
not, or will not, or does not control
its boys is likely at any time to be
shocked into a sense of it's MORAL
and legaldelinquencies by tragedy
that brings sorrow to some of its
members and disgrace and humilia-
ton upon all. Corvallis but for
the 'gang" of which the TIMES
speaks-the members of which,
including Chester Ready, who lost
his life a week ago while resisting
Iarrest-had been a terror to orderly
boys and the public generally for
the past two years, is quiet semi
rural town. Its people have not
taken seriously the lawless acts ol

s'rong and clear note of warning to
the peop,e of Corvallis. Summing up
it's vigorous presen tment of the con-
ditions that led up to the tragedy
of a week ago it says: There
should be enceforth throughout
! Corvallis common agreement ac-
knowledged and approved by all,
that, first, no saloon man shall sell
liquor to a minor; second, that the
roaming of the street by boys and
h; odlums at night will not be toler
ated; third, that officers bevigorous
in the prosecution Of ofenses a.
gainst the law, and that all the peo-
pie stand behind them in that poll
cy." And when it is added that
more tragedies, more funerals, more
tears, more evil repute abroad, are
in store for the town if the citizens
continue in the future as they have
in the past to be divided, uncertain
and wavering on the question of
what conditions they desire on the
streets, and to what extent of sever
ity they want the penalties of vio-
lated laws enforced" the lesson is
individual and community respons-
ibility is SO plainly stated that no
one can mistake its meaning.

When you compare the climates OF
Old and New England the wonder is,
not that box hedge fails, but that any
evergreen from England succeeds
here. The only place in the United
States that has a climate like that OF
England is the coast of Oregon, while
the climate of New England is CON-

for a broad-leaved evergreen to dis
place box The difference between the
mean temperatures in January and

York, and New England sometimes
jumps from 60 degrees above to TWEEN
ty degrees below in side of three days.
The winter winds of England being
the warm, moist air of the Gulf
Stream, while ours are from the cold,
dry interior of the continent, these
winds dry out the foliage of broad
leaved evergreens, and, the roots be-
ing frozen, they cannot send sap to
the leaves. Consequently, the foliage
gets dingy or yellow. 1t is doubtful
whether we shall ever have any really
first class broad-leaved evergreens for
such conditions. Practically all our
northern evergreens have needle
leaves, except the bayberry.-Country
