The Jewish outlook., 1906-11-30

this or that,'' the other party pleads:
Understand your religion, realize it's
essentials, and you must come to do right
things, right morally and ritually, as
a consequence Of right BELIEF 1t is sur
prising how much Of ceremonial Mr..
Joseph retains. Set prayer, charity, the
Sabbath, the festivals, are all here. But
there is something much more.
'These observances, and the religious
exercises which distinguish them, must
ever be regarded among the practical es-
sentials of onr Judaism. Besides thes..
there are others which hardly accord
with modern sentiment, but which, sane
titled by time and long usage, cannot be
lightly set aside. They are observance,
entwined and interminglcd with our re-
ligious history, and as they yet retain
their significance as spiritualiZing incl
dents of Jewish life, they will probably
long remain parts of Jewish spiritual
life''
Above all, Mr.. Joseph says in concll-
sion, ''wc must uphold truth as tn:
foundation. of our Judaism. Not in
spirit Of arrogance or contempt for the
ignorance of the past, but with all hui
mility.''
''The things we regard to-day as f;c-
tions were honestly believed by our fore-
fathers to be true in their day, and we
imply no pride or assumption of super
iority, no slnr or censure on their early
historians, when their statements are dis
credited by our altered views due 10
the advance Of human knowledge. 1t It
be our duty to be honest and truthful
to our fellowmen, surely it must be no
less duty to be honest and truthful to
ourselves and to our conscience. In re
ligion, then seeing that God is the God OF
Truth, Truth must have precedence over
all other considerations, and we must
recognize that religion can only cont'nuc
to exist if founded on truth and reason.
1t, therefore, becomes the duty OF the
Jew, jealous for his religion, and bricv-
ing in it's mission, by precept and exam
pie to maintain for it that purity and
truth which must form the first con'li-
tions of it's strengths and he can in no
more effectual manner accomplish this
aim than by making clear to himself, and
causing others to understand, what are
the essentials Of Judaism"

1908 INDICTMENTS.
The Above Represents the Number of True Bills Found Against Saw Min Compa- nies for Refusing to Re
 deem their Brass

The grand jury of the Eastern District of Union county adj jOurn- ed last week at Falsenthall after finding one thousand, two hun dred and seventy-fve true bills.
 Of this number, l,208 were against saw mill companies, who are charged with issuing labor checks to their employees that were not redeemable in cash on their regular pay day, and that were intended to force their en- ployes to trade at the companies commissaries, in violation of a statute passed by the last legis- lature.
 The question now is, how will these indictments be disposed of. If this recently made law has been violated, as above stated, there should be twelve hundred and eight convictions. There is nothing on the calendar any meaner than hiring a man to labor for you. and then force him to take it out in trade.

300 BANKS
This Represents the Number of Savings Banks in Nevada
 County.

J. B. Moody & Co.,, of Balti- more, Md, have, in the past two weeks, placed about three hundred savings depositors for the Bank of Prescott in this county, and Mr. Moody, who has made a personal canvass of the county, says that it is as- tonishing as to the interest shown in the matter; that he never yet engaged with a bank to place these savings banks where he met people that were more eager to take advantage of the opportunity for small system atic saving.
 It is wonderful the amounts these little safes bring in. They enable depositors living in or around the city to deposit any amount at home, thus practically having a branch of the Bank of Prescott in their homes. The interest feature has caused many people who have been leaving deposits in Little Rock or Tex arkana and Little Rock, on in- terest, to change their accounts and to patronize an up-to-date home institution.
 The Bank of Prescott has about 100 of these little savers" left, and have it arranged that anyone can make a savings de- posit for some friend or relative for a Christmas gift, and the Picayune suggests that Santa could do no better thon to start the children on the road to for i tune in this way. Saving is the way to accumulate for some ob- ject in view.
