dividual here and there, but he could not
budge the great historic body itself. Had
a certain American rabbi shown more
regard for the traditionalism and the
immobility of Jewry he would not have
been showed aside to shining and con-
spicuous solitariness as he has been.
And there is going on to-day even in the
very current Of Reform an ebbing of the
tide toward the vast ocean of the Juda-
ism Of our fathers-so resistent and re-
active to change are historic faiths and
institutions Compared to such forces
as reverence for the past and the phys
ical immobility of masses, that are rooted
in our very human nature and that act
throughout the ages, what is pope or
priesthood or creed? The things we say
and reason about are, after all, but as

Jewish Relief Fund

London, Dec. 6-The secretary Of the
committee which was appointed by the
recent conference held here under the
Craftsmanship Of Lord Rothschild to
take charge Of the distribution Of funds
for the relief Of the Jews in Russia, said
to the Associated Press tonight that the
committee was being much hampered by
the failure of telegraphic communica-
ton He said that the following dispatch
had been received from the travelling
commissioners who are now working in
various parts of Russia securing data
and statistics for the guidance OF those
who are distributing the funds.

entirely stopped throughout Russia and

Massacre Of the Jews Continues

London, Dec. 6.-From Odessa come
reports Of another massacre of Jews
Sunday, in which families were muir
dered by the wholesale and much prop
erty destroyed.
Jewish children were tortured in the
presence Of their parents and then
killed. The parents themselves were
massacred afterward.
Hundreds Of corpses are now lying in
the streets Of Odessa, no one daring to
remove them.
Even the nuns who offered to help the
wounded were murdered.
Such is the dread news which the
Vienna correspondent of the Daily
Chronicle wires. 1t comes to him from
Podwoloczkia, near the Russian frontier,
which is crowded with fugitives from
Kieff, Odessa Karkhoff and other towns
in South Russia. Such are the terrible
stories of anarchy and atrocious cruelty
which these refugees tell.

in Kieff alone. Several small towns
which had Jewish sections have been en-
tirely burned and the people are sleeping
in the fields
The secretary said that relief centers
had been established at Ekaterinoslay,
Gomel, Kieff, Odessa, Poltava, Rostoff-
on-Don, Simferopol and Moscow The
travelling commissioners say that III
towns have been the scenes Of Jewish
massacres These figures do not include
many villages and Siberian towns, many
of which suffered from the anti-Semitic
madness.
Writing from Kieff under date OF
December 1st the commissioners say that
the town was then in open riot and that
firing was continual The British con-
sui had offered to shelter the commits
sOners
The secretary said that up to date ST.
475 900 had been contributed. This sum
included $1.OOO,OOO from the United
States. $52O,OOO from Germany and
$435 900 from Great Britain. The sum
of $935 900 had already been remitted to
Russia.
The committee, the secretary said,
proposed to organize special system
of relief for the orphaned children, who
would be removed from Russia and
given into the care Of Jewish families in
other countries. This plan, he said, had
received the Endorsement of Jacob II.

but by process of natural selection, by
their adaptability to the environment.
If the beliefs are too far in advance OF
the age, they are rejected, even though
in later ages they may be proclaimed as
new revelations Of divine reason. Ii
the radical is too far removed from the
thought Of his time, he is condemned to
the fagot or the ban, even though by
later ages his dust may be glorified. Not
so much approximation to truth as con-
formity to old habits and ideas, insures
the acceptability of new beliefs to the
masses. Why is it that anarchy, that
state of society in which government is
abolished and every man is. a law unto
himself, finds it's advocates, with one or
two exceptions, only among dsgruntled
cranks? Surely not because state OF
society in which every man is sovereign
OF himself and unto himself is less ideal
than that state in which men must be
restrained by fear and force. But be-
cause anarchy finds no basis OF sub
stratum of thought and sentiment IN
modern society. The provocative force OF
the twentieth century cannot as yet give
birth to such an offspring, however
beautiful it may be. Even the most rad

the ideal of anarchy by sporadic utter
ances, would scarcely give it single
thought. We are not vitality interested
in it, we have no enthusiasm for it, be-
cause we are not ready for it. Any ad-
vance that Reform makes is thus condl-
toned by the antecedent status OF So
ciety. The progressive aspect OF clvlllza-
ton is like the development OF a human
face, changing slowly and continuously
into higher expressions Of symmetry and
maturity, but always constrained to grow
in the likeness of its own image. The
consequence Of this is that Reform, be-
fore it can be incorporated into the vial
elements Of peoples life, must become
compromise. 1t can never realize itself
by sudden alterations, by forceful com
pulsions, by leaps and ruptrres, but by a
process Of tactful adaptation, by gradual
and progressive embodiment. If it would
not be abandoned to Intellectual isolation,
it must bend to the masses and submit to
the checks imposed upon it by their con-
servatism.
Thus has Judaism been able to main
tain it's essential characteristics and CO
hesiveness against the scepticlsm and
commercialism and individualism OF this
and the last century, even though 1T has
neither creed, pope, priesthood, nor ma
tionality In the shape OF reverence FOR
the past and the conservatism OF masses
of men, it contains within the depth OF

RUSSIAN COSSACKS
CAUGHT IN A HOLE
Toxic Announces Counter Movement
Against Cossack Marauders.

Toxic, Jan. 16.-Several papers here
report that General Mistchenko's raid
ing party of 1000 Cossacks has been cut
off by a force of 5000 Japanese, south
east Of Newchwang, and that furious
battle is raging in that region. This
news is contained in lengthy dispatches
from the front, which tell in great de-
tail that General Oku had been kept in
formed of the activity of the Cossacks
and that he waited until the various
raiding forces had been concentrated.
A Japanese mixed force of nearly 10000
men, mostly cavalry and light artillery,
was held in readiness at Sunlihem, and
of these 5000 were dispatched to the re-
lief of Newchwang and Newchiatun so
soon as it had become evident that the
enemy's force was gathered at these
places.
The transport oktroops developed in
to most perilous undertaking. The
Russians had torn up the railroad four

DOCTORS DISAGREE.

DIR. Cashatt OF Weston and DIR. Hest or
Pend1eton Mix.
DR.. J. A. Best, lately Of Weston, but
now OF Pendleton, was in town yester-
day.
DIR. Best had been in Weston on pro-
fessional business, and while there be-
came involved in personal encounter
with DIR. Cashatt, the physician who
purchased DR.. Best's practice and bust
ness in WestoA. There are always two
sides to story, and DR.. Best's version
as given PRESS reporter in substance
is that when he sold to Cashatt he en-
tered into contract not to practice in
Weston except on call from Walla Walla
or Pendleton.
DIR. Best said the Weston physician
invited him into his Office and called his
attention to the contract The clause
referred to was called into question.
DR.. Best handed the paper back, and
instead Of taking 1t the Weston doctor
punched the Pendleton physician in the
eye. DR.. Best further alleges that DR..
Turley, with whose fist he collided
sometime ago, also took hand and was
assisting DR.. Cashatt when interference
by citizens put stop to the fight.
The cause for the trouble dates back
80 it is said, to the time when DR..
Best sold out his business to DR.. House,
with the usual agreement that hs was
going to leave Weston and not practice
there any more. Best took post gradu-
ate course in the east, returned to Wes-
ton and put House out Of business by
getting all the practice in sight. When
Cashatt bought out Best written articles
of agreement were entered into that
like occurance might be obviated.

HOPELESSLY INSANE
MACK ROYCE's MENTAL CONDI-
TION DOES NOT IMPROVE.
Malady Is Insanity In Pronounced
Form and Not st Vitus Dance
As Diagnosed.

The pitiable mental condition of little
Mack Royce, is again being discussed
in the neighborhood in which he resides
with his widowed mother. Sometime
ago attention was called to this case. and
on investigation of Mayor Taylor, the
boy was sent to Pendleton for examin.
alton as to his sanity.
DR.. Cole, the examining physician.
pronounced the boys ailment to be st.
Vitus dance, and he was brought back
to his home here. Evidently the exam
ination was made during one of the
lads rational periods, for since bis re-
turn he has gradually grown worse and
insanity in a very pronounced form has
developed. This is the verdict of all
who have seen the boy during the last
few days.
His mind has weakened to the extent
that at times he is devoid of mental con-
troi. The authorities no doubt will see
to it at once that he is again examined.
1t is said that at times his Imagination
takes violent turn and while in these
moods there is cause for alarm for the
safety of his mother and sister.

came stalled at that point. General
Mistchenko left small detachment be-
fore the towns and rushed the remainder
Of his force to the break in the line.
General Mistchenko withdrew his
force to considerable distance and then
prepared a counter attack. He was
evidently ignorant of the strength Of the
relieving party, for he suddenly changed
his plans and made an attempt to re-
treat when he obtained accurate infor-
nation.
The correspondents add that the re-
treat will be cut off and that more rein
forcements are arriving. The attack

perate charges were made against the

evening with flaming torches, but before

DR.. BLALOCK TELLS OF PLANS
FOR COMMERCE.
Material Is Being Put On the Ground
and Money Will Be Col

"We are negotiating for three steam
boats to be used in opening the Column
bia river" said Dr. N. G, Blalock, who
has been one of the leading spirits of
the move to better the shipping condi-
tions, land when the portage road is
complete believe that the boats will be
ready to attend to all freight. One of
the boats belongs to members of the
association and is plying between Ar
lington and Cello, and TIE other two
are on the river above. 1t is our hope
to close negotiations for them at an
early date.
"We will meet in few days TO make
plans to finish collecting the money
subscribed by the different counties to
be affected by the open river We must
complete arrangements for paying for
the work, as actual construction will
commence shortly. The contractors are
getting the material on the ground and
must have the road done by the 31st of
May or pay forfeit of $500 day un
til completed.
"The new contracts made did not
lessen the amounts to be raised, but by
letting the contracts to two different
firms the cost was kept within the limit.
81 do not believe the people at large
realize the benefits to be derived by the
move, but there are many who have
shown the greatest enthusiasm and have
materially assisted in raising the neces-
sary money"
