RABBI WISE CRIES OUT THE EVIL
MAJORITY OF MINISTER'S ARE
h
NECESSITIES.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-The move
ment to establish what shall be known
as a free synagogue" was formally
launched at meeting in the Hudson
theater today, at which the founder.
Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, formerly of
Portland, Ore, began a series of ad
dresses in explanation of the move
ment, taking for the subject yesterday,
What Is Synagogue" DR.. Wise
referred to the call to occupy the pull
pit of a prominent New York syna-
gogue. which fell through because GER
tain restrictions were to be put upon
him.
DIR. Wise declared that the suspicion
that the ministry Of both the Christian
and Jewish religions was controlled
and owned by the rich, and that the
ministers thereof were mere "lackeys
of the wealthy was partially, at least
borne out by the conduct of the min
listers themselves.
"The average minister" he declared
els a tolerated social necessity who
prefers peace and servility to strife
and freedom. There are some honor
able exceptions" said DR.. Wise. ''but
in the main the pulpit in this land of
ours is not free. We have not only
given the Sabbath to the world, but
we seem to have given so much of it
that we have none of it left for our
selves. Because We cannot have the
seventh day Sabbath, shall we have
no Sabbath at all? Even though the
earliest observance of the frst-day
Sabbath was anti-Jewish in charac-
ter, shall we forever refrain from
meeting for worship on that day, which
in this land and in all European
lands, is the legal day of rest?
Even if the Jew would not observe
this Sabbath, it would still be the duty
of this synagogue to proclaim the
message to them on the one day in the
week when it is possible to reach them
If we must sacrifice the form of the
Sabbath. we will conserve it's sub
stance.
eff we must surrender the letter of
the Sabbath observance, we will retain
and magnify the spirit of Sabbath as
piration and conservation

the old forms will also have to be
gone through with as before.
In cases where a government officer
has been present at final hearing and
certain other cases the rigid new RUIZ
ing will not apply.
Rulings of this sort are seldom is
sued directly from the White House
and the issuance of this one caused
quite storm of protest in Washing
ton, D. c., from several western sem
ators and representatives who did not
think there was enough fraud to
much inconvenience.
Following is the complete text or
the order:

in the acquisition of public lands or

extra MAIL CARRIER PUT ON
CITY to Be Redistricted So Postal Force
Can Work to Best
Advantage.

Another mail carrier will be added
e. the local postoffice force tomor-
row. Postmaster Brunton received
Geographic instructions from the post
Office department to put on an extra
nan pending investigation as to the
necessity of permanently increasing
the force of carriers in this city.
The city is now being redistricted
to provide for the best use of the extra
man. The business of the postoffice
has been handicapped for several
months by the smallness of the carrier
force and it is expected that investiga-
ton will result in the retention of the
new man. Senator Ankeny has heart
lily endorsed the plan.
Besides the new carrier within the
city limits it is probable that mount
ed carrier will be put on district to
be established cOsinsting OF water
town, East Walla Walla and other SUI
burbs east of the city.
Not only will this carrier supply
more than 100 families but it will re-
Heve the congestion on route IN the
CITY and give the carrier i'll that dlS-
trict opportunity to serve his patrons
better than has been possible during
the past few months.
whether this Improvement will be a
1ermanent thing depends on the peo-
pye of the district. If 120 OF them
provide suitable boxes similar to rurai
mail boxes the service can then be-
come a fixed Improvement.

San Francisco Lesson.
Fire insurance companies have all
learned we'll a lesson from the San
Francisco disaster, so that there can
never be a repetition of it from their
standpoint. That city has been known
for years as one with an exceptionally
low rate for losses; approximately
about II per cent. of the net premiums
collected by the companies.
Its fire department was noted
as the best in the United States
Hence, all the companies took long
chances and paid high commissions to
agents there to secure the business.
Many of them had 800 per cent more
insurance in San Francisco than in
cities corresponding in size. This has
all been changed; while it proved a
wonderful blessing to the residents of
San Francisco, yet to the stockholders
of the fire insurance companies, it
meant the wiping out of large sur
lplus accumulated through the years:
and yet, with it all, none but the new
lest companies really suffered much.

business and will endeavor to tho

1--WE have been exceedingly fortunate
in procuring the services of Mr.. Spen-
Ger, who perhaps knows more about
