who go there do not return to orthodoxy,
but would to God l were forty years
younger. The man, concerning whom
these significant words were spoken, has
exercised most profound influence
upon the history of Reform Judaism in
America. His name was David Einhorn,
the father-in-law Of Kohler and Hirsch.
But there were men in the Jewish pulpit
of Germany Of those days who, in spite
of their studies at German universities,
remained orthodox. OF one of them, and
we do not want to mention his name,
the following anecdote is related. He,
too, was a disciple of a great Talmudist
Of the old school. One day this old or
thodoX Rabbi received a call from a
prominent member Of the congregation
in which this young Rabbi officiated. The
gentleman, no doubt anticipating to fill
the heart of the venerable scholar with
joy and gladness told him that his dis
ciple, DR.. SO and SO, although gradu
ate of a German university in contra
distinction to many others who at the
universities had given up their ortho
doXy, was still good orthodox Jew. To
this old Rabbi coolly replied: 81 am
not at all surprised at him, he was neb
bich always Chammer."
In modern times we find parallels to
the old rule. We find that disciples of
leaders of Reform have so little under
stood their teachers that they are to-day
Zionists, i. e., opponents of Reform Ju-
daism.
In the reform Advocate" for weeks
a story is being published in install
ments, entitled: "The Love of Zion.'
The author is disciple Of DR.. Emil
G. Hirsch. The hero Of the story, and
it is easy to see that the author puts his
own ideas into the mouth of the fanatic
Zionist Liberman and the Harvard stu
dent Arnold, thus expresses his principle
and faith:
''There will never be any peace unless
we go back to Palestine. 1t will never
end until the Jew is in his own home
where he belongs. AS it is, he lives on
the sufferance of his fellow men, Here
in Boston he is tolerated because he is a
curiosity, transplanted from the Bible.
But this is not true liberty. The Jew
will never know what true liberty means
till he is firmly established in his own
country. Do you, with your American
ways, enjoy liberty? You fawn and
cringe before your Christian classmates,
you play ball to amuse them and so in
gratiate yourself. You seek them as if

Governor Signs Petition.

Last week the Governor signed
the bill authorizing the village of
L'Anse to vote an additional bonded
Indebtedness, not to exceed five
thousand dollars, to be expended in
changing the power system now in
use in the municipal lighting plant
from steam to water.
The change should be completely
effected for the amount stated, and
thereupon the present necessary ex-
penses can be very materially low.
cred and at the same time the eff
cheney OF the system greatly IN
creased.
With the use OF the water power
the lights can be kept on all night.
This will cause many more people
to use the light than at present,
thus increasing the income at small
II any added expense.
We are indebted to Hon. W. l..
Stannard for his courtesy in secur,
ing the passage and approval OF the
bill.

Ypsilanti Girls Burned Out.

Last week Thursday a house in
which Miss Gertrude Morrison,
daughter of Supt. W. J. Morrison, Of
L'Anse schools, and twelve other
young ladies we're rooming, in Ypsi-
lanti. took fire and burned to the
ground. Three of the young ladies
fortunately bad their trunks packed
and sent to the depot. Two others
had their trunks packed, but had
not been removed from the house.
They were, however, saved. All
else including books, papers and
clothing were burned. The young
ladies were preparing to go to their
respective homes for the Easter va
cation. Miss Morrison purse was
found among the ruins, but gold
watch, Supt. Morrison's s first pres.
ent to his wife, which was being
carried by his daughter while at.
tending school, was lost.

land, the nominees OF the republican
state convention for regents Of the
university, are comparatively young
men. They are both graduates OF
the great institution they have been
selected to assist in officially direct

Junius E. Beal and Frank B. Leland
that they are experienced business

A LIVELY CAUCUS.
Tuesday Evening Witnessed One OF the
Biggest Turuouts In the History
OF L'AnSe.

Tuesday evening Que Of the largest
caucuses which has ever been wit
messed in E'Anse. was held in the
Town Hall, and to say that it was =
lively affair is putting it mildly.
At an early hour in the evening
several wagon loads of citizens from
Pequaming arrived, and ia short
time politics were at a white heat.
The most important contest was
between F. W. Foote, of L'Anse,
and George Edwardson, of Pequam-
ing, for the Office OF supervisor, and
to the general observer it looked for
a time as though Mr.. Edwardson
would be the choice of the caucus,
but when the votes we're counted it
was found that Mr.. Foote had 151 to
Mr.. Edwardson s 81.
Andrew Johnson, the present
clerk, was re chosen by acclamation.
There was lively skirmish of bal
lots for the Office of treasurer, but
w. T. Menge carried off the "bun. ("
A contest also waxed warm for the
Office OF highway commissioner, be-
tween Eugene Cote, of L'Anse, and
Leon Deschaine, of Pequaming. but
again the local forces were in the
majority.
= 1t is estimated that there were
about three hundred people in at

Ensley Development.

Among the notable features of Ensley's progress is it's large and attractive resi- dental development" said Birmingham man. q visited Ensley this week, and was greatly interested in the improvements be. ing made there
 "The vast expansion of the Tennessee company's steel plant at once arrests at- tention, and in the suburbs of the Steel City one sees beautiful homes and elegant building lots that would do credit to Bir mngham. A fashionable residence sec tion about mile and half this side of Ensley, on the Birmingham road. and south of and In sight of Thomas, is just now being developed. It Is called Shady Side and is finely located on high ground, commanding a magnificent view of Ens- ley and ones valley. There are sixty acres in the suburb referred to- and the property is being plated in large building lots The owners have completed two res idences and have two more under con struction. They are handsome buildings, those just nearing completion costing about $7000 apiece"

Misdemeanor Cases in Jail

The iail problem in Jefferson county could be mitigated and possibly rem dered endurable if all county officials were paid salaries instead of fees. But no legislature has had the courage to do this. and perhaps none will.
 One-half of the prisoners in the county jail consists of negroes held for vagrancy or other misdemeanors. They have no money, and no friends that have any. They can not, there fore. make bond They can not retain a lawyer. They can do nothing but stay in jail until in the course of time a grand jury meets and their cases come up Probably a good share or 1Aem should not have been arrested. None of them should be held indefinite ly to pile up fees and costs
 If, indeed, a way or ways could be devised for speedily clearing the jail of helpless misdemeanor cases the jail would be roomy enough to hold the prisoners charged with crimes for per haps two years to come. Whether un- der the fee system this can be accom- plished is, indeed, doubtful, but the people should see the facts as they really exist-the situation and what creates it-and possibly they may be able to find way in which to relieve a jail congested with helpless mis- demeanor cases.

Foreiun Loan Tax Law

The people of Alabama should con- sider and appreciate the gravity of the foreign loan situation. Texas passed 8 law relating to money of insurance companies, and the companies are leaving that state pell mell. It will be so in Alabama if the present foreign tax law is left by the legislature on the statute books. "Loans," says J. B Emith of Montgomery, twill not be re- rewed or extended. They must be I at maturity in order to avoid fore closures" This Is the situation as it actually stands and as it will stand if the legislature adjourns without heed i-5; the desire of the borrowers and the business men of this state-if 1t leeds Governor Conner rather than public sentiment The manner in which hostile legislation in Texas Is acted upon by capital is the manner in which it will act in this state or any other state under like legislation.
 hc eY-Attorney General Massey Will son says, the foreign loan tax bill is an example of bad faith on the part of the state because the foreign loan con- panies were induced to come into the state and to place their money here on the basis of paying an admission tax ranging from $25 to $250, and an an nral privilege tax of 5000, and a mort eG-e record tax of 15 cents for each ,-U0 secured by mortgage. To pile On top of all these a tax of one-tenth of 1 per cent on all capital that had been placed here on the old basis is an act of bad faith that will be resented. It would be unwise to apply the new tax to new companies desiring to do business in this state, but such an act would not be bad faith on our part.
 Gentlemen of the legislature, can you afford to let the obnoxious .act stand even if you are commanded to O so by the governor of this state? ''4-ls Is the question that will rise up before yoH when you reassemble at the capitol next Tuesday.

JAMES M. BARR IS
 DIRECTOR GENERAL

Norfolk, Va, July 5-The board of di- reetors of the Jamestown exposition to- night adopted the report of the confer ence committed, formally electing James M Barr as director general of the expo sition. MT. Barr is given absolute power in the direction of the show and he is to name such other department heads as he may deem necessary.
 It was decided to retain the board of governors merely in an advisory capacity to MT Barr. The stockholders of the exposition company tonight authorized the board of directors to place a second mort gage on the company's property to cover a second loan, understood to be for s325, GOO. The original loan desired was s45000O, on which fourth mortgage will be given as security.
 It was declared that the two loans aggregating $75O,0vv will cover all of the outstanding obligations of the company. The directors expect no trouble in plac- ing the two loans. It is also believed that MT. Barr will accept the dictatorship. A committee was named to readjust the salaries of the board of governors who now receive $2700 per month.
 A report showed that the first salary list of the company was s36O00, but that 40 per cent reduction already had made the present salary list $22,000 per month.

mined in West Virginia and trundled to Norfolk, a distance of about four hundred miles, but the chances are that ores could, with increased profit, be mined in this district to be barged down the Open Warrior to Mobile. there to be transferred with plenty of coking coal to a steamer that would lay both down in Bridgeport, Ct. In this way iron and steel and coke could be made as profitably in Bridgeport as in Pittsburg, but not quite so profit ably as they could be made in this dis trict, because transportation charges would have to be paid to Bridgeport on a great deal of waste material. It is possible to make iron profitably in Connecticut by the sea, and no doubt it will be attempted

MRS. LESLIE PLAYS
 AT HIGH FINANCE

London, July 5.-A strauge story of all legged fraud involving large sums was related in the West London police court this afternoon. Mrs. Josephine Leslie whose friends were said to be worth mill lions was arrested yesterday at New Mar ket while out driving in a motor car, charged with defrauding members of well known families. She was arraigned this afternoon.
 Miss Annie Blount, the complainant, Is a member of an influential Dublin fam fly. Her counsel said that Mrs Leslie represented that she was a friend of J. Pierpont Morgan and produced letter purporting to have been written by him and advising her to invest in one of his syndicates.
 Miss Blount later on was a guest Of Mrs Leslie at a leading London hotel and ultimately entrusted the latter with $42,500 to invest in the alleged Morgan syndicate. Mrs Leslie in return gave Miss Blount post dated checks for $125,- 900 and $100,0O0 which were supposed to represent the profits which would secure Miss Blount. When the first check was presented it was returned marked "ac- count closed"
 The detective inspector in charge of the case says the prisoners friends possess millions of money"
 She was remanded to jail.

Pessimist Airs Views.

"These be troubled and trouble breed- ing times said large property owner, "and the summer is in full swing.
 "First the tax commissioners are in- sistng on a raise of twenty million dol lars here in Jefferson. and the hardest part of it all is that this raise must fall largely upon some 800 property owners of the 2100 tax payers, as there is not time at command to go over the entire list So you see there is a double in- justice being worked.
 "Then Governor Conner Is said to be opposed to rectifying the error of judg- ment of the last legislature in taxing outside money loaned in this state. He can even prevent the legislature from fighting matters even though they would be disposed to carrect the mistake, with an override of a threatened veto, by two-thirds vote. He could in the limited time allowed for the split session under the law, withhold his approval or dis approval until too late for the legislature to take drastic action.
 "The preachers are threatening the city with a prohibition fight which, if sue eessful, will vaeate several hundred houses now bringing good rents and most of the 120 business houses cannot be rented for anything like the rentals they now bring.
 'rhe money tax has frightened money very much; it has advanced the rate all ready and will retard large building en- terprses here in Birmingham for the present at least. What the state and Birmingham needs is a speedy correction of mistakes and peace for a few years"
