PEOPLE ARE EXCITED.
Those in Usage and Coffey County
Boosting New Railroad.

People down through Usage and Cofrey
counties are enthusiastically anxious
for the construction of the line which
has been proposed by w. L. Taylor,
the promoter of the Topeka Southwest
ern. which, if built, will run directly
south from Topeka to Burlington
where connections can be made with
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas system
and which will give that road direct
communication with Topeka and also
give Topekans direct communication
through southeastern Kansas.
". r .Parkhurst, the engineer of the
Topeka Southwestern, the man who
has made the surveys for this road, re-
turned yesterday from trip through
the country to be tapped by this pro-
posed line to Burlington and he reports
that the people ON it's route are more
than nxious for the construction of
this road.
The citizens of every town along the
proposed line welcomed Mr. Parkhurst
warmly. About one hundred and fifty
of the prominent men of Burlington
and Corey county met Mr. -Parkhurst
at Burlington last night and they show
ed their anxiety for the construction of
LIE road in a substantial way by tell
ing Mr.. ParkhuEst 10 draw on them for
their share of the expense of the pre-
liminary survey which will have to be
made before the matter can be taken
up with financial interests who might
be willing to finance the line. Mr.. Tay-
1or intends to take the proposition up
with -Lamprecht Brothers & Co., who
are going to finance the line to Council
Grove and he hopes to make this line
to Burlington a part of the Topeka
Southwestern system.
If Lamprecht Brothers & Co. cannot
see their way clear to finance this new
proposition, why the people along the
proposed line will probably get togeth-
er and see that the road is financed.
Mr.. Parkhurst will organize his sur
veying corps in couple of days and
start on the work of making prelim-
mary survey of the proposed route.
When he gets to work he expects to be
able to complete the preliminary sur
vey within twenty or twenty-five days.
There is no doubt about the people
down along this proposed line being
most enthusiastic over it," said Mr.
: drkhurst today. LAS an evidence of
their enthusiasm they have told me to
go ahead and make the needed prelim-
mary survey at their expense. I will
organize my surveying corrs at once
and get down to work within the next
few days. This proposed line will tap
splendid country and give Topekans
direct communication by rail with the
southeast" 80

The Jewish outlook., 1907-10-25

nineteenth century was asked Whether
the leading Rabbis of the Reform school
were ''Lamdonim" (well versed in jew
ish lore). He answered: '"That is the
great 'Shlemassel,' they are 'Baavonos-
senu Rabbim, on account OF our
many sins) great "Lamdonim.
The issue in those days was clear cut
and honest Orthodoxy claimed, and from
their non progressive and orthodox point
of view with consistency, that Rabbis,
who do not believe in the Shulchan Ar
uch. have no right to be called ''Rabbis. "
The Reformers, however, from their
viewpoint. insisted that Reform is the
legitimate development of Talmudical
and Rabbinical Judaism and that there
fore they had the same right to change
old laws and to make new laws as had
the Rabbis of the Shulchan Aruch.
They were just as able lawyers and legis-
lators as the Rabbis of old, for the Rab-
bis of old had to be lawyers and judges.
They Justly claimed that for instance,
the Protocols of the three Rabbinical
Conferences in Braunschweig (1S44)
Frankfurt (1S45) and Breslau (1S46)
were the modern Talmud.
Different, however. is the issue be-
tween the orthodox Rabbis of the United
States and the New York Seminary. The
former plainly say that the graduates of
the New York Seminary are not suffi-
GENTLY versed in Talmud, and Rabbinic
lore to be able to answer the require
ments of an orthodox congregation. And
who dare say that they are wrong in this
