The Jewish outlook. (Denver, Colo.) 1903-1913, 1905-09-29

The old Hebrew use and right made
themselves felt however, in the adaptation
of these laws to their new conditions. Hence
in the Hebrew code, to which | have re-
ferred while there is general sense of kin
ship with the Hammurabi code, there is no
direct relation, and the Hebrew code, from
the point of view of civilization, is lower and
more barbarOus than that from which it de-
rves, although higher on the spiritual side
especially in its monotheistic conception or
tendency.
With regard to the more vital doctrines of
SIM atonement, temporal punishment, moral
and ceremonial deflement, etc, in which
Mr. Thompson so close a resemblance
between Babylonian and Hebrew teaching
even attributing all that the Bible contains
on such subjects to Babylonian sources DR..
Peters pronounces definitely. He says, with
regard to the Babylonian and Hebrew the
DRY, that the breach Willingly or unwit-
tingly of some rule of the spirit world, cere-
monial moral. results in disease, that is
the possession by demons or calamity, and
that the existence of such disease or the oc
currence of such calamity is, vice versa, evil
dence of some breach, known or unknown,
of the laws of the spirit world
I'VE find in the Hebrew code that same
eXaltation and publication in comparison
with the Babylonian which we find in the
different versions of the flood, creation and
other tales. What the Babylonan ascribes
to the action of indefinite gods and devils,
so that he does not know which one 1t is
that is acting is ascribed in the Hebrew to
the one God only, Yahaweh; and that which
in the BabylOnian is the possession of devils,
in the Hebrew becomes the finger of God, a
punishment inflicted directly by Him. so
that while in minds there may seem to
be caprice in these punishments which may
be inflicted on the man for unwilling sins
of a merely ceremonial character quite as
much as for whiting sins of moral charac-
ter there is still moral element behind a
conception of the moral character and being
of God, which leads the Hebrew to put his
scheme, even of ceremonial law, on far
higher plane than that which satisfies the
Babylonan.'- Literary Digest.

UTAH NOT IN 1T.

IN a RECENT issue of the Chicago
L Record-HeraId William Z. Curtis
tells OF irrigation projects that have
been approved by the governments re-
clamatiOn experts in thirteen states.
These undertakings will cost, by the
time they have. been completed. some
thing like $4,000 600 They will reclaim
hundreds of thousands of acres of land
that is at this time practically value
less. Some of the work is now under
way. Reservoirs are being constructed,
canals dug, money spent, men en-
ployed.
How much money is being expended
in Utah? Not n dollar. How many
Utah projects have been approved.
Not one, not single one The home Of
the irrigation movement in the United
States is absolutely WITHOUT represen-
tation in the list of states that are to
receive immediate benefits from the
national irrigation act. Is this because
there is no land in Utah that could be
reclaimed through national irrigation
works2 No. There are thousands Of
acres right here in the Salt Lake val
ley that could be so reclaimed.
What is the reason, for in the face of
such a deplorabie failure there must
be a reason? 1t is found in the miser-
able. petty. insane jealousies existing
among the classes that are TO be bene-
flied. Let one Utah man imagine that
his neighbOr is to receive a penny's
benefit more than he receives and he
will block the scheme If he has to hold
his state back for years to do so. Give
one little canal company the impression
that another canal company is going TO
get a drop more water than the amount
that is TO run into its own duct and
that canal company viii sulk like a
spoiled child that has been denied the
privilege of tOrmenting a kitten.
Another thing. Our representatives
at the national capital have been so
busy fighting each other that they have
had no time TO devote to the interests
of the state. other prominent Repub-
licans whose influence with the adj
ministration might be worth some
thing IL it were unitedly exerted, have
been divided into cliques and factions.
each of which is ready to fly at the
throat OF the other on the slightest pre-
text. Is it any wonder that no govern
ment irrigation schemes have been an
proved or are under way i'm Utah?

THE cITY'S ASPHALT DEAL,

M AYOR MORRIS has very properly
A'A vetoed the purchase of what is
known as the Pope asphalt property
and has approved the purchase of the
Milo Clark asphalt claim near Thistle
The reasons given by the mayor for
his action ought to be conclusive. The
Pope asphalt was offered to the special
committee for $1,000. but in spite of this
fact the council approved its purchase
for $4,000. a very pertinent inquiry
might be made with a view to finding
out who was to get the $4,000 rake-off.
Apart from the shady feature of the
deal, there is every reason why the city
should not waste money on an asphalt
claim located thirty-five miles from a
shipping point, containing only So pei
cent bitumen and requiring a refining
plant before it could be made CONNER
cally available.
The Clark purchase will furnish am
pie paving material of a high class: it
is easily accessible for shipment, has
been tested on street paving here and
is disable without the expense of refin-
ing. The council ought to sustain the
mayor in hS veto of the Pope purchase
and approve of the Clark deal And if
the council attempts to pass the Pope
transaction over the mayors head. an
inquiry as to the reasons for such ac-
ton ought to be made.

EMANUEL KAHN.

THE PASSING OF Emanuel Kahn,
L which was announced last week,
takes from the ranks of Salt Lake s
able workers. A progressive, enter
.prising, philosophical citizen, Mr.
Kahn was a type that this city cannot
afford to lose. Although he had not
been actively engaged in business for
some years, except for a brief period
before he went to California on the
trip that terminated in his death, Mr.
Kahn was one of Salt Lakes best
known and most highly esteemed men,
This not because he thrust himself
forward. There was never a more
modest man than Emanuel Kahn. nor
one who liked less to stand in the lime
light of publicity. But those who knew
his worth insisted on his coming to the
front, and, though he was a man of
large private interests, though his time
was most valuable, he never shirked a
call of duty or asked another to bear
a burden that could be adjusted to his
own shoulders
Mr.. Kahn was a charter member of
the chamber of commerce, and through
out the life of that organization he
maintained his interest in it. For some
time he served on the board of public
works, a position for which he was. by
reason of his recognized business abiIi-
ty. peculiarly qualified Mr. Kahn's
record as a member of this board has
never been eXcelIed by his successors.
Some of his other work was as director
OF the National Bank of the Republic
the Utah Building & Loan association
and the Salt Lake Valley Loan &
Trust company.
Simple justice would not be done to
the memory Of this good citizen if no
mention were made of his prominence
in Masonic and church work, of his
never failing friendship for those with
whom he came in contact, of his gen.
erous philanthropy to the needy and
his tender solicitude for the welfare of
his family 1t Is on those who loved
him and on those he loved best that
his death will fall as a grievous blow.
May they have the sweet consolation
of knowing that he did we'll the work
that came under his hands and that
he has gone, clean handed and pure
hearted, TO his God for the long rest
he had nobly earned.

ern forces succeed in working in har-
mony toward common end. Sue
cesstve commanders in various fields
won individual successes, but these were
neutralized by the lack of harmony in
every branch of the service and by the
jealousy of commanders who thought
they were not given power enough TO
accomplish results
So in their Manchurian operations
the Russian armies have been ham
pered quite as much by dissensions at
home and by a lack of concentrated
authority, which has crippled the eff
cheney of the fighting force First it
was Alexieff and Kuropatkin who could
not work together, and the fleet adj
miral at Port Arthur contributed his
share to the general Generalization by
disobeying orders in allowing his ships
to be put out of action without a single
earnest effort to inflict any damage on
the enemy. After Alexieff's retirement
Kuropatkin achieved some measure of
success, if only in the great retreat ac-
.complished under most difficult circum-
stances. Now comes Grippenberg as a
disturbing factor, and with the usual
result.
Ultimately accumulated disasters
will teach the Russians that central
lied authority is demanded where the
responsibility is thrown upon a COM
mander, and that no success can be
hoped for unless the responsibility and
authority are conferred in the one man
who is expected to achieve results.

BELLS PARTING SHOT.

THE ANNUAL REPORT of Sherman
Bell, eX-adjutant general of Colo
RADIO, is interesting, but not important.
The really important thing is that the
filing of the report calls attention to
the fact that the militant Bell has
passed out of prominence in Colorado.
A more highly luminous ass never oc-
cupied d high position, civil or militia
~. And it is reasonably safe TO say
that very few people in Colorado, ex-
eept Bell and his closest friends. will
note his passing with anything but sim
ceTe qualification
The report is a final fiare-up In it
Bell says that military necessity rec
ognizes no laws, either civil or social"
Later he adds this handsome tribute
to himself: "As military commander
the authority and dignity of the state
of Colorado were at all times upheld
and asserted, in seeking to ameIiorate
a condition of dynamite, murder and
assassination, under the guise of labor,
that was intolerable."
No apologies can be made for the
murders and assassinatiOns committed
in Colorado and charged, wrongly or
rightly, to the union miners and their
sympathizers. But when anyone de-
clares that all the Iawlessness was the
work of the striking miners or of the
unions he is not familiar with the sit
uation. In the first place. the trouble
in Colorado was caused almost entirely
by the failure of the legislature to pass
an eight-hour law that had been favor
ably voted on by the people The en-
plOyers maintained a lobby in Denver
to defeat this pledged and promised
legislation. and they did defeat it.
They sowed the wind and they
reaped the whirlwind. Colorado is be-
ginning to recover from last years
reign OF anarchy. Peace reigns
throughout the state The miners and
the smelter employees are at work and
likely to continue 50 for an indihnfte
period. Was this accomplished through
murders charged to the strikers? No.
Was it caused by the wholesale de-
portation of law-abiding citizens? No.
Did Sherman Bells suspension of the
writ of habeas corpus and of all the
civil laws of the state bring it about?
No.
Colorado would have been in a state
OF anarchy today but for one thing.
The employers have instituted an
eight-hour day. That put a stop to the
reign of terror.
