LINCOLN PARK PEOPLE
WILL NOT INCORPORATE
against Incorporation -. 125
For Incorporation .... "a

The residents of Lincoln Park do
not want that suburb incorporated and
last Saturday at the election which
had been called to settle the question
voted down the proposition by a ma
iority of 81 in total vote of 219.
The contest was a most spirited one,
and there was great deal of cleo
tioneering on both sides, the Anti's
being especially hard workers in this
respect, having number of teams in
use and hustling to bring out the vot-
ers who were known to be unfavor-
able to the idea of incorporating.
The voting was brisk all through
the day, and it was not until the polls
were closed in the evening and the
ballots counted that it was definitely
known which side had won out, as it
was admittedly close as to which fac
ton would win out.
The greatest opposition came from
the ranchmen living at the extreme
east end OF the Park 1t is said that
the vote was almost solidly against
the plan as proposed. Nearer town
the vote in favor of the incorporation
was the strongest, and it was in this
section that those in favor of the
movement found their greatest sup
port
The cry that was used against the
Incorporation of the Park was based
on the increased taxes that the pro-
Iperty owners would be compelled to
pay. The incorporationists believed
that the increase of taxes would have
been nothing as compared to the bene-
fits that would have accrued to them
from street improvements, the ability
to keep out undesirable resorts, and
other matters which they claimed
would have been of benefit to them.
The vote was held at the school
house. the polls being open all day.
and the greatest interest manifested
throughout The announcement of the
result was received with much salts
faction by the "anus," while the sup
porters of the other side were CORES

Hackneyed stage devices were seized
upon by the amateur stage hands and
made to produce weirdly real effects. An
island was shown with wooded shores
and a thunderstorm in which there was a
beautiful dance by black-clad storm
nymphs. Then there was a burst of sun
light, with more dances by shepherdesses,
amazons and various flower-clad figures.

NEW YORK, June 3-Comprehensive
plans for the advancement of Hebrew
learning, particularly the study of rabbinf-
cal literature according to modern educa-
tional methods, were discussed yesterday at
the commencement exercises of the Jewish
Theological Seminary. The necessity for
the establishment of a system which would
bring to the thousands of Jews in America
the accumulated learning of their scholars
was earnestly urged by the speakers.
The establishment of a university In this
country to include all the leading Hebrew
institutions OF learning and to have at Its
head the Jewish Theological Seminary, was
particularly favored. For the support of
the institutions now in existence of their
professors scholars and investigators,
whose vocations naturally require them to
live on small incomes, fund, such as is
maintained by the general educational
board. was suggested. 1t was said that
$4,000 900 would be needed for such a fund.
The necessity of devoting more attention
to the Talnlud Torrah-a school primarily
to teach Jewish children their religion-was
impressed upon the audience.
DR.. Cyrus ! der, former president of the
seminary, proposed the university and the
foundation funds. The fact that the oldest
rabbinical seminary in the world has been
in existence less than fifty years was de-
plored by Dr. Adler.
Need of Absolute Accord.
Steps should be taken to bring the He
brew institutions in America into absolute
accord" he continued. They should be
united under the watchword corporation
and not monopoly l don't see why the
institutions in New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore could not be united in this way
without destroying the autonomy of any
particular one. The term university is the
one l would like to see applied to the insti-
tuition resulting from this organization. We
could call this the Jewish University Of
America. In the method of instruction l
would like to the German university
plan adopted. The good such an institution
would do for large number of Jews would
be great But the good it would do for the
scholar and the investigator would be in
finitely greater.
Il would also like to propose something
larger than this. We have been amateurs
and dilettantes in Jewish education long
enough. 1t is time for US to be profess
sional. The Jewish people through their
literature have contributed more to modern
civilization than any other single force
The Jewish people should promote this
knowledge. A fund should be put in the
hands of impartial trustees for the support
and maintenance of needy Institutions their
instructors, and for kindred purposes. A
