RABBIS' DIVERSE VIEWS
SERMONS ON CHRISTMAS.
DR.. Magmes Doesn't Object to Cele-
bration. DR.. ScEuInlan Does.

In the various synagogues throughout the city
yesterday the rabbis discussed IN their sermons
Christmas and Christmas festivities In their re-
lation to Jewish thought and especially as ap-
piled to Jewish children attending public
schools There seemed to be a difference
Of opinion TO the influences Of the Chris
tian festival on the Jewish children The
Rev. DR.. ]. L.. Magnes, for instance. preaching
in the Temple Emanuel. said Jews need not be
afraid Of Christmas. "and If they were good
Jews-frm, brave. constructive, progressive
Jews-we would see no danger in all the cele-
bratins around us. 1t might. on the contrary,
give added Importance TO our religious life"
Continuing. DR.. Magnes declared that the
celebration Of Christmas was fascinating to all
peoples. and that despite all the protests many
Jews silently bring in the trees and the lights"
peace on eerthP' Dr. Manages cried out. Good
will to men; glory TO God In the highest. Shall
not the DAY come when we too. shall be able to
sing this? Sing It as Jews, men and women
who have something to give to the world.
Peace on earth. good win to men, That is
Jewish thought, and as Jews let US regard it."
The Rev DR.. S. Schulnan, preaching in Tenn
pie BETHEL took almost diametrically oppo-
site view. He declared that Jews in their home
life must refuse 70 adopt peculiarly Christian
customs at this season of the year, that a Jew
who took Christmas trees into his home forgot
his own religion Touching on the entertain
ments In public schools. he said he had no griev-
ancs against the entertainments as such but
Ihat "Chrtstoiogy should be kept out of them.
AS jews" he said. "the only reason Of whose
existence as O religious minority in the midst
or nations is loyalty to sacred heritage Of
Jewish beliefs and ideals which are contradicted
by the dogmas embodied in Christendorn we
must In dignifed. self-poised, thoughtful way
silently protest against beliefs which our con-
science forbids us to accept. In our homes, in
re!ations as Jews we must refuse listlessly or
toms
Not what thing was, what It is is the all
important and looking at things In accordance
with what they have come to mean we saw that
Jew who brings a Christmas tree into his
nome, kindles lights on it while he perhaps for
gets MS own chanucah lights is If thoughtless
making himself ridiculous and if earnest he IS
weaving away his children from Judaism"
Dr. Schulman then took up the entertain
ments in schools. by all means have Christ
mas exercises If you wish so to call them but
leave Christology out" he said. I'VE are not
out OF sympathy with the spirit we are Jealous
or the rights Of conscience in the matter OF
Dogma real Christmas obeisance belongs to
the Christmas Sunday schools and churches and
not to secular public schools. In wishing our
Christian friends merry Christmas and spread
or peace and good will IN the world we know
that as American lovers OF right and fair plav
they VIII recognize the justice, nay, the un-
avo1dablenesa. of our claim

The search for DR. William y. Weaver. the

HARLEM SETTLEMENT OPENED.
Jacob H. schiff Says Upper Section Of City
Needs Educational Alliance.

Dedication exercises were held yesterday after
noon at the new homo Of the Harlem Federation
Settlement Building. at No. 24O East 1O5th
street. Although only one building was opened
yesterday, it is hoped that within another
month the adjoining building. which was pur-
chased at the same time, will be ready for occu-
pancy.
Among those who spoke was Jacob H. schifr,
who contributed largely toward the purchasing
of the houses. Mr.. SchiR spoke OF the great
need of a Settlement building in Harlem.
1.-THE taking care of own" he said "is a
very difficult question It is best solved by
educating them to become self-supporting and
self-respected citizens. When this is done II will
then be unnecessary for US TO take care Of our
paupers This section of Harlem needs an Edu-
cational Alliance. 1t needs II more than the
East Side does"

SERVICES FOR ALL.
Epiacopalians Plan to Conduct
Meetings in Mann Tongues.

The authorities OF the Episcopal Church, in this
diocese will soon adopt plan for enlarging the
plan is that has been carefully studied by
Bishop Potter for some time and provides for con-
Quoting the services OF the Church in every Ian
guage spoken by any considerable number of peo-
pie I'm this city. At the last meeting OF the Arch
deaconry OF New York Bishop Potter offered q
resolution, which adopted providing for the
appointment Of q COMMITTEES OF three to arrange
for the holding Of such services in different parts
Of the city
It is pointed that IN the part Of the city lying
below 14th street there less Protestant
churches than there five years ago, and that
despite the increase Of three hundred thousand
in the number of inhabitants In Manhattan within
the last five years, there two less Protestant
churches in this territory than there We're at the
beginning OF this period. The reason assigned is
that most Of the increase in population Is made up

Since that time Mr.. Burke has in no
way, directly or indirectly, indicated a
a change of mind, and he stands to-day
as unalterably opposed to the state pro.
hibition law as he did in 1891, and yet
with such record the president of the
state..W. G. 7. u. strenuously advocates
his election. Verify, Consistency, thou
art jewel which few people seem to
possess.
On the other hand, Governor Sarles,
both in public address and written COM
munication, stands squarely for the
present prohibitory law. Simply as the
representative of the Republican party,
he is absolutely committed to it. AS a
member of the state Board of Pardons
he has repeatedly refused to vote for the
pardon of blindpiggers, stating to the
other members of the board that a vio-
lation of the p1ohibitory law was one
crime for which there was no excuse;
that the violater of that law weut about
it designedly with his eyes wide open
and with knowledge of just what the
penalty was, and that no mercy should
be shown him.
Under what standard then shall the
temperance people of this state elect to
march? Shall it be under the Republi-
can and leader who has always sup
ported and maintained the law, or under
the Democratic and leader who in his
public life has done everything he could
do to break down and nuflify the law?-

UNJUST ATTITUDE.
Yours very truly,
w. L. sTOCKWELL

A number of judges and ex-judges Of
this state are busy arguing in the public
press that the judiciary should not be
made political football. The same
gentlemen are also busy using every
known political method in making the
present judicial contest matter of the
rankest kind of politics. Their only
argument is that Judge Knauf ia
the nominee of the "machine." while
each and everyone of them was also the
nominee of the same ''machine.' They
claim that Judge Knauff is not much of
a lawyer, but judged by the same stan
dards as set up by themselves, they
themselves were not very brilliant stars
in the legal horizon at the time of their
election. And at the same time comes
all kinds of testimony from all kinds of
people of jamestown and Stutsman
county, Judge Knauff's home, that he is
a, if not the, leading lawyer in that dis
trict. In almost every instance this
conscientious opposition, this wonderful
regard for the dignity Of the supreme
court, can be traced to personal or pri-
vate pique-or special friendship for his
antagonist.

Louis Larrivere proved up last Friday
before Judge Dorval on his Huron
homestead. His place was contested
about three years ago by s. L. Hartzell
who lost his right to file on the land
through inability to establish resi-
dence, being an inmate of the county
jail at the time awaiting trial for the
shooting Of Stoddard. Old man Larri-
we're is in his ninety sixth year and no
doubt is the oldest resident of this coun-
ty at the time Of making final proof on
homestead. He is the father of Au-
tome Larrivere at Olga, and his whole
life has been spent on the northern
frontier, through the Dakotas, Montana
and northward5 as far as Alaska. When
q younger man he did faithful service

10 the Editor
I trust that / may be pardoned for
asking for little space in your paper
but, inasmuch as believe it is in q
worthy cause, I feel sure that you will
grant it.
am particularly interested in the
ca1se of education throughc ut the state
and also in the. election of competent
men and women to the Office Of county
superintendent since, in my judgement,
no office affects SO vitality the whole
people as does this Office. In your
county, superintendent Sherarts has
been in Office two years. During that
time he has just gotten ready to do
most efficient service and it seems to me
it would be serious mistake to change
at this time. For superintendent Sher-
arts, desire to say that he is thoroly
we'll equipped for the work by reason of
education and experience and will be in
a position to render Pembina county
much better service in the next two
years. 1t is possible some mistakes
have been made, yet in my experience,
man who never does anything never
makes mistakes, while man who does
things is sometimes apt to make mis-
takes. l should much prefer, as a
county superintendent, person who
sometimes makes mistake in the effort
to do something for the improvement Of
school conditions. feel cert ain that
the larger interests of education in your
county will be served best by his re-
election and I most cordially lndorse the
work which he has done during the
past two years.

George Peterson is the Republican
candidate for clerk of court. Mr.. Peter
son as deputy was popular official
and since his appointment as principal
has given the best satisfaction. To
those who believe in "civil service re-
form" or the continuation in Office of
officials who have performed their
duties satisfactorily, Mr.. Peterson is
the natural candidate. He has served
only part Of a term by appointment
and asks election for full term from
the voters. Mr.. Peterson's legal attain
ments as member Of the bar makes
him also just the man for the place.
Most Of the work of the clerk of courts
Office is Of a legal nature. Vote for
George Peterson for clerk of court.
