The Jewish outlook., 1905-12-08

the Talmud is the guiding code.
Now, who made the Talmud binding
upon Jews? For seventeen hundred
years Of Jewish nationality the Talmud
did not exist; not until late in the sec
ond century Of the present era was the
Talmud compiled, we would like to know
how it became to be obligatory more than
the rabbis of those primitive ages made
it 1 then reiterate, that as much right
as those rabbis had in ancient days to
formulate codes and usages for the peo-
pie so much right have the rabbis to-day
to formulate usages for the people Of to-
day. | can see no reason why not. No
council, no synod, and surely no indi-
vidual has ri ght to enact laws to stand
valid forever, except that which comes
from God, which alone was made obliga-
tory upon Israel to observe and keep
forever. The prophets of Israel intro
duced nothing new, they but urged and
eXhorted to remember and follow the
laws of Moses, l. e., the laws God gave
through Moses. and if the rabbis took
the privilege of making interpretations
of same, it was done agreeably to the
ages they lived in.
The great synod taught. vaasu seyag
letorah, make We fence to the Torah, "
from this was inferred that rabbinical
laws were necessary to be as fences
around God s law. Very good, but what
are fences for? TO protect the garden
or field from animals or lawless invaders,
from children or ignorant people, the
law-abiding person needs not be kept
from intrusion by fences. Especially in
this age Of high culture simple sign,
''keep off the grass" sufficies to pro-
tect the lawn without needing fence
to hide the beauty Of the garden away.
When people were not as cultured and
civilized rigid measures were required to
keep them in due bounds Of virtue, NOR
ality and religion, but cultured people
are honor bound to act right in every
way There are millions Of people who
would not do wrong if there were no
police, no prisons and no judges. Jews
should be all >high-minded enough, as
the chosen people of God, to be honor
bound to do right, not because we fear
punishment, but because we are Gods
children who can discern between right
and wrong intellectually. Judaism
should guide us without rabbinism. We
venerate the literature of our sages of
old, but Gods word stands alone as the
governing power Of our religion, and

There are cases where an operation
is the only resource, but when one con-
siders the great number of cases of
ovarian and womb trouble cured by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound after physicians have advised
operations, no woman should submit to
one without first trying the Vegetable
Compound and writing Mrs Pinkham,
Lynn, Mass, for advice, which is free.
Miss Margret Merkley of 275 Third
Street, Milwaukee, Wis, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:--
"Loss of strength, extreme nervousness
shooting pains through the pelvic organs,
bearing down pains and cramps compelled
me to seek medical advice. The doctor, after
making an examination, said had ovarian
trouble and liberation and advised an opera
ton. To this strongly objected and decided
to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. The liberation quickly healed, all
the bad symptoms disappeared and l am
once more strong, vigorous and well"
Ovarian and womb troubles are stead
ily on the increase among women. If
the monthly periods are very painful,
or too frequent and excessive-if you
have pain or swelling low down IN the
left side, bearing down pains, leucor-
rhoea, don't neglect yourself : try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Flax In Northarn Vermont.

Flax was once common crop with the
farmers of Franklin county, Vt. Henry
M. Stevens, an old resident of st. Adams,
says in the New England Farmer that in
his boyhood days lnseed oil mill was
in full operation in East Georgia and
where the farmers brought to the mill the
fax they had raised and took away the
cake from which the oil had been ex-
pressed to feed their hogs. Flax, from
which the linseed or fax seed was OBJ
tanned, was grown all through that
section and the fibre of the fax was
made into towels, shirts, blankets. etc.
The question as to whether northern
Vermont would be suitable for fax
growing is answered by the fact that in
1910 the growing of fax was an i'm
portant part OF the farmers means Of
sustenance.

was involved in the Nihilist plot to as
sassinate Emperor Alexander ii, for
which she was sentenced to fifteen
years in Siberia, but at the end OF
seven years she escaped to America,
Perhaps the most romantic feature
iu the fact that Mile. Leontieff con-
verted two nieces of Governor General
Irepoff, Mile. Trepoff and Princess
Denisheff, to the doctrine of assassin
alton, and that after the arrest of her
mentor Mile. Trepoff actually at
tempted the life of her uncle, firing
two shots at him, both of which
missed. Thereupon the two girls be-
came panic-stricken and attempted
suicide, Mile. Trepoff throwing herself
under a train and Princess Denisheff
shooting herself. Neither of them sue
ceeded in killing herself. The family
has since tried to make it appear that
the girls acts were the result of
mutual pact for self-destruction, both
being in love with the same man, an
officer of the Guards regiment.

of the conservatory of music, who have

ST. PETERSBURG POLICE
CAPTURE TERRORISTS
Governors Daughter and Two of
Trepoff's Nieces Are
implicated
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press
ST. PETERSBURG, April 1S.-Gradu-
ally many interesting details sur
rounding the recent arrest of a band
of about two dozen terrorists are leak
ing out. The capture, which is re-
garded by the authorities as being Of
immense Importance, was accomplished
by Kashovsky, the Russian Lecoq, who
was dismissed from the secret police
several years ago on account of his
connection with Philippe, the spiritual
list, who created such stir at court
several years ago and who went to
Paris to live.
Governor General Trepoff, upon mis-
appointment as governor general of St.
Petersburg, induced Kashovsky to re-
turn to st. Petersburg, and within two
weeks the detective captured the ell.
tire band, which had been operating
here under the direction of the central
organization, having apparently, its
headquarters in Switzerland.
Alfred Henry Mccullough. the man
killed March IL, by the accidental eX-
plosion of a bomb at the Hotel Bristol,
whose real name was Bauman, was
one of the chiefs of the terrorists. hav-
ing charge of the manufacture OF
bombs, and Kaleieff who killed Grand
Duke Sergius, also belonged to the
same group.
After Bauman's death Kaleieff's dut-
les devolved upon Leontieff, daughter
of Gen. Leontieff, who recently was
appointed governor of Yakutzk, east
ern Siberia. Mile Leontieff became
convert to terrorism during her stay
at Lucerne. Switzerland. Kaleieffs
identity was established through the
discovery of photograph belonging
TO Savnkoff, who had been his comrade
both at the university and in exile
When Kaleeff was charged with his
identity he admitted it, saying:
"SaVinkoff has been arrested"
The police later thought they had
captured Savinkgf and so announced
publicly. but II turned out that the
man held under that name was an
other and that Savinkoff, to whom
Kaleieff evidently had confided his In
tention of killing Grand Duke Sergius.
