Not ENOUGH TO 90 4RoryD,

\ correspondent, referring TO the closing cx-
ercses at the Jewish Theological Seminary Of
America. writes:
BY Your report. sec that at tn" college where
clereymcn are educated for the Jewish pulpit
only two were graduated this year If Il Is true
that there are eight hundred thousand Jews In
New York the thought occurs TO that at this
rate soon there viii not be Clergymen enough
TO go around. Is that not a good reason why
this large class should affiliate with some other
church?
our correspondent is right rs to the small
number Of graduates from the New York
school and his surprise would have been
greater had he known that there is another in
stituuon in this country where young men are
fitted for the Jewish ministry an older and
a more popular school, where the graduation
class this year was still smaller only one stu
dent having received the rabbits degree. In
the light of this fact there would seem to BE
some reason for the expressed fear that soon
thor" will not be enough to 20 around"
Tie time was when the Jewish congrcga tons
Of this country depended entirely upon the Old
World for religious leaders. Some Of these
came to the United States from England but
the great majority were nattes of Germany
and Austria. They were men learned in Jew
ISL law and lore, but with little knowledge of
the English language, and they were com
PEELED TO conduct services in German This
however, for these We're composed for the most
part of the people who knew as little of the Eng
fish language as their imported leaders But the
second generation wanted English services, and
the demand for native spiritual leaders called
the two theological institutonS-one in Gin
cinnati and one in New York-into existence
Both have received the liberal financial sup
port which is usually accorded TO Jewish in
situations, both have learned faculties and
from the fact that many pulpit vacancies ex-
ist both schools hold out TO the student the as
sUrance that he will not find it difficult to
secure m attractive charge soon after he has
received his degree. But young men prefer
other fields Of study and it was probably be
cause they were impressed with the same mis-
givings as our correspondent that the Jewish
leaders sent to the ministers Of all the reformed
congregations a note asking them ito create
through public utterance and personal in
"fuence sentiment that will stimulate
worthy young men TO choose the ministry as
"A career, and TO give them the necessary aca-
'demic preparation looking to such end
1t is doubtful whether the condition will
cause many Jews to affiliate with some other
church." but it shows clearly the existence of
Il state of indifference which is doubtless a
source of distress to the faculties and the
friends of the Jewish theological institutions.
1t may be source of comfort for them to know

direction and urging it may be made successful
everywhere.
The most troublesome feature of the case
is the substitution Of morphia for opium, and
the hypodermic needle for the pipe. Germany
and Japan still hold alOOf from the treaty OBJ
legation not to send mOrpha into China save
for medicinal purposes, and hypodermic needles
are shipped from those countries, especially
from Japan, in large quantities. Ostensibly lit
tie mOrphia is imported, only a few ounces
year figuring in the customs returns, but that
merely means that it is struggled in by the ton.
A correspondent of The London Times" re-
calls that when the duty on mOrphia was only
per cent official statistics announced imports
of four tons year; and when the duty was
increased To 200 per cent the imports declined
TO Il few ounces. Yet it is known that at the
same time consumption of the drug greatly in
creased,
1t was not to be expected that the campaign
against this most insldiOus drug habit would
instantly or easily become entirely successful.
1t will take time and hard work to redeem the
empire from the vice to which it has been sub
iect for ages But the outlook Is distinctly
hopeful In many places much has been ac-
complished, and throughout the empire the
campaign has become popular and fashion
able and has the hearty support of the native
press. 1t is probable, therefore, that in lew
years the abuse of opium i'll China VIII be-
come less evil than the abuse OF alcohol
in other lands which vaunt themselves upon
their superior civilization and morals.

THE OKLAHOMA MIDDLE.

We do not suppose that anybody outside Of
Oklahoma fully understands the tangle into
which the constitution makers have got that
prospective state. 1t may be that not even In
Oklahoma does anybody fully understand It,
The dispatches that come from there are not
very Illuminating. The constitution itself Is
dark secret; the chairman Of the Constitutional
Convention, according 10 the latest information
we have upon the subject, has locked up in a
ireproof safe the only six authentic copies Of the
instrument known to exist Not even Washing
ton has been favored with glimpse Of the won
derful document. There seem to be plots and
counterplots. and nobody is to be trusted with
the precious paper for fear OF something. we
know not what
No one seems to know how the voters are
going 10 get a chance TO vote on the acceptance
or rejection Of the constitution. The convention,
we believe, fixed one method Of calling an cleo
ton, and then, if the information that has come
out Of Oklahoma by telegraph is TO be trusted,
changed It's mind and fixed another method.
Then, when the Constitutional Convention had
finished IT'S mighty labors, some one got out an
injunction preventing the calling Of the election
IN the way finally agreed upon. In this tangIe
10 one seems clearly TO know what is the next
step. Governor Frantz is quoted 10 the effect
that he does not know whether he can or will
call the election but that he believes that under
Ihe enabling act or Congress the people can vote
upon tie constitution on August g. Not SO.
however Chairman Murray OF the Constitu-
nonal Convention, the self-constituted guardian
OF the six authentic copies. A dispatch the other
day represented him as issuing a call for the
election dispatch the next day represented
him as recalling that call. Subsequent lnforma-
ton is TO the effect that he will not issue anv
call. He is of the opinion that It will be neces-
sary for him 10 raassemble the Constitutional
Convention SO that ii may "fx another date for
the election, but whether this means a different
date from that set By the enabling act we are
unable to say. 1t may be interesting to know,
however, that the CerberIs OF the six authentic
copies, the only man WHO really knows what is
Ia the wonderful instrument, promises not TO
permit the reasselnbied convention to make any
changes in the constitution.

the convention, and also throws flood OF light
upon its proceedings. Action has been begun at
Guthrie TO restrain the territorial officers from
acting under the new constitution. The gist of
II IS that the convention rehaShed the map Of
Oklahoma. The old counties were recarved into
new ones, so that in certain areas there will not
be for purposes Of the election either the GOV
ernmental machinery of the old counties or
any new governmental machinery. In Alfalfa
County, for instance, new creation, there are
said 10 be no district court and no official means
of arranging for an election under the cOnSttu-
ton. Similarly there are said TO be other places
where there are no means provided by the con
stitutiOn for voting upon its adoption. The
county seat of Harper County is on the open
prairie, without even a pOstotfice. This last in
stance is alleged TO illuminate the motives OF
some Of the county carving. Real estate specula-
ton connected with the establishment Of cOun-
ties is said to have been very much on the minds
of the constitution makers. This sinister sug-
gestlon may proceed altogether from the lti-
gants and have no basis IN fact Some Of the
old counties, carved against their will, are CON
testing on the ground that their lines were fixed
BY the act of Congress. No authority, they say,
could alter them in advance OF statehood.
If the convention was actually so busy with
real estate speculation that 1t left parts of the
electorate without means OF voting upon the con
stitutioD It may have to do some Of its work
over again. We cannot say what truth there Is
in this contention. All that we can learn seems
TO indicate very queer convention, which drew
up a queer constitution and left so queer Il
tangIe behind that no one yet knows whether or
not the people will have chance TO vote on the
result OF its labOTs

that Indifference exists also in other denomna-

The fact that there has been an increase in
the number of Preshyterlans. despite the falling
off in the number of students for the ministry,
would tend to show that the deCadence does not
bring about any considerable deserton to other

These facts. coupled with the meagre supply Of
native ministers, may again create demand
for foreign clergymen in order that there may
be enough to so around.

will be recalled that a little more than six
months ago ordinances for the suppression Of
