Marriage: Jewish Standpoint

What is the Jewish ideal of mar
riage The answer is not very diff
cult to find. The integrity of the fam
lily ties forms the keynote of Jewish
social life, and it is this integrity that
has been largely responsible for the
survival, in the face of overwhelming
odds, both of Jewry as community
and of Judaism as a religion. Hence
it may be said that the Jewish ideal
Of marriage pays regard not so much
to the contracting parties themselves
as to the prospective offspring of the
union, and the prime object of the
marriage is to rear family the mem
bers of which shall blossom into good
Jews and Jewesses and useful mem
bers of society. We are glad to think
that this ideal is, to large extent,
still pursued, and that Jewish home
life, and in particular Jewish mother
hood, can still be held UP as an eX-
ample to the rest of the world. But
if that is the case, it cannot at the
same time be admitted that the mod
ern Jewish attitude towards marriage
is uniformly commendable. In the
first place, far too many Jewish
matches are arranged in places very
remote from Heaven, and we have lit
tie hesitation in asserting that mar,
riages of convenience" are prevalent
among the members of our community
to an inordinate extent. We are as
far nowadays from being emancipated
from the thrall of the Shadchan
(match-maker) as we ever were, al
though in circles that lay claim to
some measure of culture" the place
of the professional is taken by the
amateur. 1t may perhaps be urged
and with some truth, that a. large
number of these "arranged' matches
turn out happily, and that in many
cases mutual affection and respect, il
not love ITSELF come after instead Oh
before marriage. That may be so
but the advocates of this system can
not deny that the risks run are very
serious, and that the consequences
that ensue should the marriage turf
out a failure are, except in extreme
cases, without remedy. There nigh
have been some excuse for the match
maker in the days when divorce &C
cording to the Jewish law was still
possible. But the English law is no

CLEVELAND, o.. Aug. 6.-A man,

along Euclid avenue in an automobile
with friends. At the Cleveland and
Pittsburg Railway crossing the motor
car was stopped. A train approached
and the gates were lowered. The west
gate fell across the machine and would
have hit one of the occupants of the
automobile had not the man supposed
to be Mr.. Rockefeller caught the guard
and ordered the chauffeur to go ahead
quickly. AS they attempted to cross

by the east gate. The crossing watch

Prompt Action by President
Ryan and Members of

THE EVENING" STAR has won its
! fight for central emergency hospital
and ambulance station, the finance
committee of the Common Council
having pledged itself to carry out the
project and given authority to the
Board of Health to spend the money
to make the start.
Within a month, or as soon as the
ambulance arrives, the system will be
in force. The site which the Board
of Health will use Is the building on
Branford place and Halsey street now
occupied by the salvage corps
President Herold, of the Board of
Health, and Commissioner Dobbins,
chairman of the emergency hospital
committee, will complete their plans
and order the ambulance today.
Surgeon on the Ambulance.
The new emergency ambulance will
answer all accident calls in the busi-
ness sections of the city. with almost
the same rapidity that the engines now
dash to fire.
A competent surgeon will be on the
ambulance to answer every CALL and
as soon as the injured person Is reached
immediate relief will be given. Here
tofore injured persons have been placed
in ambulances and the trip made to a
hospital before medical atte7Hpn could
be given.
The ambulance will take sufferers to
the nearest hospital.
Ready I'm a Few Weeks
The work of remodeling the present
temporary headquarters of the salvage
corps will be begun as soon as the
corps move back to their rebuilt head
quarters on Washington street. Daniel
II. Dunham, chairman of the associa-
ton of underwriters supporting the
salvage corps declared today that the
salvage corps would be out of the build
ing in two or three weeks.
Only few days will be devoted to
remodeling the building as only a few
minor changes are needed.
Two horses will be purchased, one for
day service, the other to be used at
night.
The victory OF THE EVENING STAR
Is the elimination of spasmodic efforts
made during the past ten years for an
emergency ambulance station. The
fact that such a station will be estab-
lished is largely due to Patrick H.
Ryan, president of the Common Coun-
Gil, who not only indorsed the idea,
but worked hard for 1t.

The carnival Is the third the

to promote the intellectual and social
life of it's members. and engage in such
philanthropic work as might present
itself.
In 1899 the Flemington Women's Club
Joined the State Federation of Women's
Clubs and since that time has been
represented at the State meetings Its
first venture was the placing of waste
boxes about the town to provide a
place for stray papers. The need of a
public library was felt and a book So
cial was held, from which sprang the
present public library association of
the town.
Next the club provided a handsome
public drinking fountain and then per-
mission was secured from the Hunter
don county officials to transform the
one-time unsightly county lot" into
the present beautiful park The club
organized a sewing class for girls with
100 members and later a boys club
was organized.

Mr.. Herbert Knox Smith, whose zeal in the
cause OF economic reform has been in no wise
abated by the panic which he and his kind
did so much to bring on. is out with an an
swer to President Moffett, OF the Standard
Oil Company Of Indiana. The publication of
this answer, 1t is officially given out, was de-
layed several weeks for business reasons,
because it was not deemed advisable to
further excite the public mind, which was
profoundly disturbed by the crisis. Now that
the storm clouds have rolled by, however, the
Commissioner rushes again into the fray.
Our readers remember that the chief
points in the defence of the Standard Oil
Companygsass present ed by president M0ffett,
were, t1)mthat the rate2of sixnceAtsy on s.0ll
from Whiting to East st. LOuis has been "a
sued to the Standard Oil Company as the
lawful rate by employees of the Alton, I'D
that the 1S-cent rate on file with the Inter-
state ComnePce Commission was class AID
not conftn0di tyArate, never being intended
to apply u OIL, yS) that oil was shipped in
large quantlfies between Whiting and East
Illinois at stx and one-fourth cents per hum
dred pounds which has been filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission as the law
full rate, and A. that the 18-cent rate oil
was entirely out of proportion to Lawful rates
on other commodities between these points
of similar character, and of greater value,
such, for example, as linseed oil, the lawful
rate on which was eight cents. President
Moffett also stated that thousands of tons of
freight had been sent by other shippers be-
tween these points under substantially the
same conditions as governed the shipments
Of the Standard OIL Company.
This defence of the Standard Oil Company
was widely quoted and has undoubtedly ex-
erted a powerful influence upon the public
mind Naturally the Administration, which
has staked the success of its campaign
against the trusts upon the result of its att
tack upon this company, endeavors to offset
this influence, and hence the new deliVerance
ofiCommissioner Smith. k
We need hardly to point out that his re-
buttal argument is extremely weak, although
as strong, mo doubt, as the circumstances
would warrant He answers the points made
by President Moffett substantially as follows:
iA11 The Standard Oil Company had traffic
six-cent rate had not been filed, (2) no an
swer, (3) the Chicago and Eastern Illinois
rate was a secret rate because it read, not
from Whiting, but from Dolton, which is
described as "a village of about 1900 popu-
lation just outside of Chicago. It's only
claim to note is that it has been for many
years the point of origin for this and similar
u secret rates. The Commissioner admits in
describing this rate that there was note
attached stating that the rate could also be
used from Whiting.
The press has quite generally hailed this
statement of the Commissioner Of Corpora
tons as a conclusive refutation of what is
evidently recognized as the strongest rebuttal
: argument advanced by the Standard. f"
In fact. it is as weak and inconclusiye as
